"Kukuku~ I've heard that you haven't been able to win over your Master these past few days..."
Kiyohime waved her folding fan, a hint of smugness and allure in her eyes and brows. She leaned slightly closer to Elizabeth beside her and teased her:
"I really can't do anything with you. Should I, as your senior, take you, this stupid lizard, to serve your Master properly and teach you some manners?"
After learning that Elizabeth and Wang Chong had not done anything outrageous, Kiyohime has been in a great mood these past few days.
Now he not only got to "eat to his heart's content" again and completed a high-quality mana replenishment, but he could also use this to tease Elizabeth at will, which was double the joy.
"Hahaha, just kidding! How could I possibly bring anyone to serve my Master with me? Let alone bring you, you stupid lizard!" Kiyohime covered her mouth and laughed wildly, her laughter shaking her body.
"Mmm-mmm-mmm—you're so noisy! You shameless fat snake!"
Elizabeth, stung by a sharp remark, stomped her foot angrily, her dragon horns seemingly about to emit smoke, and then said:
"A pure girl like me is the most worthy of a Master's attention! If it weren't for the need to preserve this pure attention, you would have been eliminated by me long ago!"
"Hmph~ Still keeping this attention? I think you're just being sour grapes!" Kiyohime rolled her eyes in annoyance and retorted mercilessly, "If you're so capable, then try eliminating me, hehehe~"
"You stinking mudfish from the ditch!" Elizabeth yelled, pointing at Kiyohime's nose.
"Mud lizard!" Kiyohime retorted, hands on her hips, not to be outdone.
The two resumed their playful banter, their clear shouts echoing across the beach, leaving the others enjoying the sun around them both amused and exasperated.
"Ugh! We lost again! Those two brats! Can you please stop yelling and screaming? You're ruining my game!"
Not far away, Orion was staring at a good hand of cards, but the sudden increase in the volume of Kiyohime and Elizabeth's argument caused him to lose his composure and make a mistake in the order of play at the last moment, allowing him to be successfully taken away.
Seeing victory slip away from his grasp, Orion was furious. He slammed his cards on the table and began to curse loudly.
However, the moment he uttered that complaint, the air suddenly fell silent.
"What did you say?"
"Try saying that again?"
"What did you say?"
"Try saying that again?"
Kiyohime and Elizabeth, who were about to pull each other's hair, stopped at the same time, slowly turned their heads, and locked their fierce and murderous gazes on Orion.
That look in his eyes, as if he were looking at a dead man, terrified Orion.
"Two...two ladies, please make yourselves at home...I didn't say anything...I didn't say anything at all!" Seeing the two men with fierce expressions gradually walking towards them, Orion swallowed hard and quickly raised his hands to beg for mercy, his arrogance instantly turning into fawning.
"It's too late to say such things now!"
The two shouted in unison, one opening her mouth to spew out blazing flames, the other conjuring a spear intertwined with lightning, and simultaneously attacked Orion.
Orion was horrified and was about to call his card-playing friends to help him run away when he turned around and found that his card-playing friends, who had just been calling each other brothers, had all disappeared without a trace, and the table had even been overturned.
"Damn it! That's so disloyal!!"
Orion had just finished his indignant rant when he felt a deadly heat rushing towards him, and it was too late to escape.
"boom!"
With a deafening roar, Orion was blasted away, tracing a gruesome arc through the air and letting out a bloodcurdling scream.
"Hmph, mind your own business." The two women clapped their hands at the same time, as if they had only swatted a mosquito.
Then they started arguing about something else, moving away from the area to avoid disturbing the other people who were enjoying their vacation.
Clearly, the two knew it was wrong to bother others, but the teddy bear had just provoked these two little devils and ended up getting a good beating.
……
"Ouch... Hahaha... That really hurts! Now the bet is over, and I'm covered in injuries. What bad luck..."
Orion, leaning against the wall, limped towards the exit of the house. He had just been knocked away by the two women's attack and, by sheer coincidence, landed in the villa where Wang Chong was.
Rubbing his aching back, Orion suddenly remembered something.
"Speaking of which, this period coincides with the time when Artemis is helping Boss Wang Chong with his work again... Hmm, I wonder how she's doing these days. Everyone else is on vacation, but she's still working hard..."
Orion felt a pang of shame and guilt as he thought about this. Artemis had become like this entirely because of the mistakes he had made in the past.
Despite his shame, he is still secretly gambling and has not changed this bad habit at all.
Furthermore, Orion had recently sensed that Artemis was becoming increasingly indifferent towards him. Could that icy gaze mean she had discovered his secret gambling behind her back?
The thought sent a chill down Orion's spine, and he felt that the possibility was extremely high.
After all, even if he gambled at the exact time Artemis was busy, preventing her from catching him red-handed, wouldn't she have other ways to find out if he gambled or not?
It's important to understand that, aside from her gambling buddies, the other Servants had all witnessed her actions to varying degrees. If anyone had even uttered a single word about it, and Artemis had overheard…
"I was so careless, I completely forgot about that... No wonder Artemis has been giving me the cold shoulder lately... Wait, she hasn't said anything, is she waiting for me to confess?"
Upon realizing this, Orion stopped in his tracks at the top of the stairs, cold sweat streaming down his forehead.
"Oh no, oh no, I must have kept Artemis waiting for too long... Now, there should still be a chance to make amends, right..."
Orion knew that the later he admitted his mistake, the more severely Artemis would punish him afterward, and he didn't want to experience that again.
After much deliberation, he decided to go to Artemis's office right now and confess everything. Since he was already inside, the sooner he confessed, the less severe the "physical punishment" he might suffer.
Besides, I'll offer to help with the chores, and Artemis will surely forgive me for being so "thoughtful." Yes, that's what I'll do!
After mentally preparing himself, Orion immediately went up the second floor and tiptoed toward Wang Chong's room—where Artemis was cleaning.
When Orion reached the door, he was still struggling to choose his words, wondering what posture and expression he should use to apologize to Artemis in order to appear most sincere.
"Sigh... that's fine. Let's knock on the door and see if Artemis is inside."
Just as Orion took a deep breath and was about to knock on the door, a familiar yet extremely unfamiliar female voice suddenly came from inside.
The voice was filled with heavy breathing and an undisguised coquettishness, with even a sweet tremolo at the end:
"Ah!!!!?~ I'm in!!"
Orion's hand, raised in mid-air, froze instantly, his pupils contracted sharply, and his brain completely shut down at that moment.
Chapter 730 Orion, Don't Open the Door (Part 2)
What...what happened? Is there something wrong with my ears?
Orion stood frozen in place, almost unable to believe his ears. He stared intently at the tightly closed door before him, as if some unspeakable secret was hidden behind it.
That voice just now... was it Artemis? How could the virgin goddess, who swore purity and nobility like the moon, possibly make that kind of... that kind of voice?
Impossible! I must have misheard! Artemis swore an oath that she would never do anything that violated her purity.
Even though he had fantasized about being close to her in his dreams, he dared not presume that she would do such a despicable thing.
Not to mention... the kind of delicate moans that send shivers down your spine.
"I must be dizzy from that hit... That must be it. How could Artemis be doing that kind of thing in Boss Wang Chong's room... Hahaha, it can't be that Boss Wang Chong cheated on me and ate my wife, right..."
Orion chuckled twice, then turned to walk in another direction, but his steps felt as heavy as lead.
"You're already at the door, yet you still don't dare open it? Orion, you really are a coward! The hat's already on your head, and you're still pretending not to know!"
A sharp, cold voice came from behind, piercing Orion's heart like a knife. He knew the voice all too well; it was Artemis, but the tone was one of mockery and contempt he had never heard before.
Orion's steps suddenly stopped, and he froze on the spot.
He had actually understood the moment he heard the first sound, but he was unwilling to admit it—his nominal wife, Artemis, was now probably someone else's possession.
"No...no, I must be out of my mind. Artemis would never say such a cruel thing. And...and how could Artemis allow herself to be defiled! She swore an oath!"
Orion swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, his chest heaving violently.
A wave of dark emotions surged within him, engulfing his reason and causing his entire body to tremble uncontrollably. He continued to deceive himself, trying to comfort himself, but even he no longer believed those words.
Just then, a voice came from inside the door again—
"Ah...ah! That's great, did you hear that? Orion! I'm doing that kind of thing with other men right now! It's the thing you've always wanted to do but couldn't!"
Artemis's voice was filled with seductive panting, a tone Orion had never heard before, like a wild beast being set ablaze, completely releasing desires suppressed for millennia.
Those words lashed at Orion's heart like whips, almost driving him mad.
"Huff...huff...you useless man, if I swear to be pure, can't you find a way to break the vow? Hahaha...that's right, even my father couldn't do it, let alone you? But...but in this world, there are still powerful men who can do it..."
She was panting, her voice filled with immense joy and satisfaction, as if she were performing in a thrilling drama.
"Mmm...mmm! The hole is getting wetter and wetter...so satisfying...hahaha, so this is what pleasure is...why didn't I meet you sooner...my master—Lord Wang Chong. It was only after breaking the vow that you taught me this pleasurable thing..."
"Varied--!!"
Orion whirled around, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets, staring intently at the door. He never imagined that Wang Chong had actually cheated on him!
The man he once regarded as his boss, who was even willing to help him clear his gambling debts, actually stole his wife!
"Hehehe... What? Are you angry? Orion... You think you're entitled to be angry? You deserve to be cheated on. Have you forgotten who pushed your wife into someone else's arms?"
Artemis's voice came from inside the door again, as if she could see through everything outside.
Her words, laced with sarcasm and contempt, were like a sharp knife, precisely slicing open the wound Orion least wanted to face.
"You gambled away debts and made your wife pay them, and you deliberately left her to work alone while you went gambling without a care in the world. Hah... Now you've found out your wife slept with someone else, and you're angry... Too late! You piece of trash! You idiot!"
Orion felt a tightness in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out. The words were like nails driven into his heart, leaving him nowhere to escape.
Because Artemis was indeed right.
He really is a bastard... He was the one who pushed Artemis into the abyss with his own hands, so what right does he have to be angry now?
"Could it be...could all those gambles have been a setup? Was the goal to leave me drowning in debt, and then...!!!"
Only now did Orion finally realize all of this.
Even before he entered the mortal realm, he had heard about Wang Chong's womanizing ways in the Hall of Heroes. Any woman he set his sights on could not escape his grasp.
But Orion never expected that even Artemis would fall into their hands.
So what should I do now? Try to win back Artemis?
He raised his hand, hovering it in mid-air, hesitating whether to push open the door.
"Oh... Oh!!!! Too fast! Slow down... So good... I love you so much, Master!!"
However, Artemis's silvery cry rang out again, like a heavy hammer slamming into his chest. He froze on the spot, his arm slowly hanging down.
What's the point of opening the door now? What right do I have to pull Artemis back from this state of indulgence?
In terms of martial prowess, he was no match for Wang Chong; in terms of matters of the bed, he was even less capable.
Pushing open the door himself, all he did was etch the image of Artemis, utterly conquered by other men, into his mind.
It's just self-humiliation...
"Ha...ha...what are you still doing here? If you don't dare to open the door, then go back to your gambling!"
Artemis was panting heavily, as if she had just completed a thoroughly enjoyable ritual. Her voice carried a hint of languor and satisfaction, as if it had all been nothing more than a game.
"...I've given you countless chances, but you don't cherish them, so stop pretending at the door...I don't owe you anything anymore, so get out of here! Do you really want to open the door and see what your wife looks like with another man's seed in her belly?"
These words were like a needle, piercing through his last line of defense.
Orion's body trembled violently, and tears welled up in his eyes. He lowered his head, finally losing all courage to open the door.
He turned around, like a spineless turtle, and staggered away from the doorway, tears streaming down his face.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor, growing fainter and fainter until it finally disappeared into the darkness.
However, what Orion didn't know was that Artemis never actually spoke to him from beginning to end.
Inside the room, Wang Chong slowly pulled the treasure from Artemis's body, watching the white streams of magic overflow from her secret garden. With a sense of conquest, he patted her bottom and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Your use of insults against Orion as a means of flirting is getting increasingly sophisticated..."
"What? You don't like it?"
Artemis licked the remaining magic from her fingers, a lewd smile on her face, her silver eyes seemingly filled with pink hearts.
Artemis is now completely different from her former self—the pure and noble moon goddess is now like a tamed wild beast, enjoying everything.
“I like it, of course I like it very much…” Wang Chong said, while spreading her thighs apart again. Then he aimed his treasure at the cave entrance where the white stream was still flowing. With a thrust of his waist, the two of them made sounds of great satisfaction.
"Ha... But what I like most is how you were when you first came to me. You actually bet everything on it, and without hesitation rolled the lowest number, hoping to win big. You deliberately lost to me."
Wang Chong looked at her with a smile, his eyes filled with amusement and appreciation.
"Rolling the lowest number is to prove that my gambling skills are no less than yours... while deliberately betting big and losing to you... is naturally because I'm too lazy to keep up the act."
