I let the genie out of the bottle

Instead, after realizing her feelings for Lu Ye, she wanted to destroy them immediately.

Therefore, she hoped to trigger Lu Ye's defensiveness towards her and to see Lu Ye's distrust of her.

In this way, my restless emotions should be locked up once again, right?

However, the more he tested her, the more he felt Lu Ye's trust in him.

He fell asleep in front of him and did not instruct his subordinates to be on guard against him.

Even after I showed hostility and even used a force capable of piercing his heart to test him, he still did not wake up.

Athena not only failed to suppress the nascent emotions in her heart, but instead made them even stronger.

So, the goddess of wisdom, with her complicated feelings, suddenly became withdrawn.

As for Lu Ye...

"Apart from that, I didn't sense any real malice, so I felt quite safe."

"It seems that pretending to be asleep was quite useful."

"Of course, most importantly—the worldview is really useful."

P.S.: Don't wait any longer, I'll just read a little more before going to sleep. I have an exam tomorrow morning.

Chapter 130 Goddess Hypnosis??

A worldview is such a convenient thing.

Lu Ye thought to himself.

Especially when facing beings like disobedient gods.

After all, the existence of non-obedient gods is largely constrained by mythology, or rather, by human understanding of them.

What Lu Ye did was to use his own worldview to influence the myth that constituted Athena, making her unconsciously develop a strong liking, or rather, love, for the opposite sex.

Influencing the minds of disobedient gods is more difficult than influencing god-slayers.

Moreover, the disobedient god is likely to have greater resistance to external forces modifying its own thinking.

After all, according to modern mythology, Athena should be the daughter of Zeus, but she still identifies herself as the one from ancient mythology.

Therefore, Lu Ye needs to avoid his little tricks being discovered, otherwise he may very well make things worse.

This has nothing to do with strength or willpower. If it were a god like Aphrodite, she might easily be able to detect abnormalities in her own emotions.

However, if it were Athena, even if she found herself inexplicably developing feelings for Lu Ye, it would be difficult for her to have any doubts, because she was just a single person.

Lu Ye didn't feel there was anything wrong with using such a trick in his relationship.

In order to win love, some people rely on their physical beauty, some on their gentle and kind nature, some on their sweet talk, and some on their financial strength.

One's own power is also a part of oneself, something that is under one's control just like appearance, money, and words.

If this can make Athena and himself more closely bound, then it is worthwhile.

So Lu Ye continued to pretend that he was resting without any defenses, while Athena was still struggling with her emotional problems.

As for Liliana, Lu Ye had previously told her, out of concern that she might cause trouble, that she should just focus on her own tasks and not pay attention to him.

so......

"Heh, what an audacious knight. Interesting. I need all the information on this girl in three minutes."

“Liliana Kranichal, it’s a nice name, and easy to remember. I’ve already memorized it, so please don’t make me memorize another name—I mean, please don’t die, Liliana.”

"Knight? Lay down your sword and become my wife!"

"No, let me go! I hate you the most!"

"Heh, so why did you come here? I know, you have feelings for me—"

"Ah! No—uh-uh!?"

"I will never let you go again, become my woman!"

"Ugh—what am I even writing?" With a cry of shame and indignation, the knight girl, who was using her free time to write her masterpiece, suddenly slapped the notebook in her face.

"No, no! We absolutely can't let anyone see this! Tear it up, tear it up!"

With steam seemingly rising from her face, she ripped a page of her draft, which she had just filled with, from her notebook with a "rip".

However, when she was about to tear the paper to shreds, she hesitated for a moment.

Then, he carefully folded the paper, looked around nervously, and finally hid it in his pocket.

"No matter what, it was written with a lot of effort. It would be such a pity to just tear it up like this, wouldn't it?"

She convinced herself of this.

After becoming this king's direct knight, he was much busier than before, and hardly had any free time.

After all, the king's daily life was basically taken care of by himself.

Fortunately, besides her knightly training, she is also quite excellent at housework.

This is one of the few things that gives her confidence that she can surpass her former competitor.

Even so, the king does not seem to have any intention of recruiting any other direct knights.

"The king's temper is really terrible. If that newcomer accidentally offends the king in some way, it will be bad. In that case, it's better for me to do a little more work."

This is what she told herself about this.

Because she was the only henchman, she needed to be available at any time for most of the day.

Whether it's sword practice or learning magic, you need to stay within range of Lu Ye's instructions.

Although she worked hard, she didn't complain at all.

Compared to this king, the other god-slayers were like uncontrollable gales, bringing disaster wherever they went.

Although this king claimed that his actions were only for his own benefit, he was able to consider others more.

So, the only thing she needs to care about is...

Is the king somewhat lacking in vigilance towards disobedient gods?

Due to long-held beliefs, Liliana always harbored a high degree of vigilance towards Athena.

Godslayers and disobedient gods have always been mortal enemies.

Therefore, she always harbored a hidden worry in her heart.

"It's not because I'm jealous that the king has a beautiful goddess by his side!"

The silver-haired female knight rubbed her face, seemingly trying to fade the blush.

And the other side.

"It failed."

Athena buried her face in her arms and suddenly sighed softly.

She looked up, her expression a mixture of frustration and a faint smile.

From a rational perspective, she doesn't think falling in love with someone else is a good thing.

In particular, even though she and Lu Ye have formed a partnership, their long-term interests are not aligned.

However, since she couldn't suppress her feelings, she had no choice but to face them boldly.

Whether it's timidity or constant avoidance, both actions will only bring shame to the name of Athena.

"Actually, if I were looking for a partner, this guy would be a pretty suitable type for me."

Athena's eyes, which resembled both snakes and owls, gleamed slightly, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily curled up.

A hand carefully rose and stroked Lu Ye's cheek.

"Whether it is wisdom, courage, or caution, you are all worthy of my name—although you were a little careless when facing me, which is a point deduction."

If Lu Ye's qualities don't meet her expectations, then even if she develops feelings of love, this proud goddess will forcefully suppress them.

So, when Lu Ye opened his eyes—

"Lu Ye".

The virgin goddess from Greek mythology, with a gentle smile on her face, looked at Lu Ye with warm eyes and spoke softly.

P.S.: My last exam is on the 10th of this month... and then school seems to start on February 14th, oh no!

Chapter 131 Athena's Attack!

"You're awake? My companion, Lu Ye."

The petite goddess wore a charming smile, her large amber eyes staring intently at Lu Ye.

"I think I should have opened my eyes by now, right?" Lu Ye said casually.

"It's not uncommon for animals to keep their eyes open even while asleep, whether in mythology or history."

Athena, without any instruction, assumed a duck-sitting posture that required considerable flexibility, and said softly.

Those captivating eyes held a gentle and warm shimmer.

Compared to before, it's unclear how much the goddess's attitude has softened now.

If it was a cold and arrogant cat before, now it's as if it's smelled catnip, obediently rolling over to show its soft belly.

Seeing such a goddess, I just want to lock her in a cage...

No, it's about holding them in your arms and squeezing them until they cry.

Then, Lu Ye saw that the loli-shaped goddess seemed to take a deep breath, and her eyes became somewhat determined.

A hint of nervousness crept into the smile on his face.

His expression at that moment could be described as resolute, or even... ready to die.

The little hand placed above the knee unconsciously tightened.

“Lu Ye…” Athena spoke softly, her voice trembling slightly.

Even though she had never experienced these things before, Athena, as a goddess, was not one to back down easily.

If she makes a decision, she demonstrates remarkable decisiveness rather than hesitating or looking back.

Therefore, Athena is the goddess of victory, not the goddess of defeat.

This applies to both war and the unfamiliar realm of love.

The goddess rested one hand on her flat chest, her face flushed slightly.

"My companion, Lu Ye, if a goddess were to offer you her love, how would you respond?"

Although the little goddess looked shy and her voice trembled slightly, she spoke up confidently.

Moreover, his opening statement was a blunt and unvarnished direct attack.

After she finished speaking, she picked up a cup of tea that was placed nearby and took small sips to hide her nervousness.

This aircraft has been specially modified, with soft cushions inside and all kinds of equipment. It doesn't look like an airplane, but more like a flying hotel.

Athena's bluntness surprised Lu Ye slightly.

However, he quickly realized what was going on and calmly replied, "That depends on who the other person is. If it's Olympian mythology, I probably wouldn't feel happy to be liked by most of the women in it; I would only feel disgusted."

Upon hearing this, Athena was slightly taken aback, and her expression turned cold in an instant.

"Why?"

She lowered her head, staring intently at the tea in her cup, and asked softly.

"As a fellow goddess, you should know this very well, right?"

Lu Ye said slowly and deliberately.

"Regardless of their appearance, those goddesses have such a terrible reputation. I don't like things that other people have used."
