The Greek Runaway Prince: Chapter Fifteen - Gods are Honest, Unless They're Gods of Deception

Io possesses a charming and beautiful appearance, making her exceptionally lovable. She could live a very good and fulfilling life simply based on her looks.

Unfortunately, she lived in Greece.

A woman who is born beautiful has a fatal hidden danger.

Zeus, the greatest stallion god in Greek mythology.

Io was a pitiful woman who caught Zeus's eye.

If it were merely about dealing with Zeus's romantic escapades, Bai Zhi, though indignant, couldn't say anything, since he didn't know this Io.

The problem was that when Zeus had an affair with Io, Hera caught him in the act. In desperation, to help Io escape his wife's revenge, he transformed her into a snow-white heifer. Unfortunately, this did not fool Hera.

Under Hera's pressure, Zeus gave the heifer to his wife.

To prevent Zeus from finding the heifer, Hera summoned the hundred-eyed giant Argos to watch over her.

Zeus could not bear to see his mistress suffer for so long, so he ordered Hermes to rescue her. Hermes did not disappoint Zeus; he used his cunning to trick Argos into closing all her eyes and then killed her.

According to the timeline and Hermes's account, Io is currently still a heifer.

That is to say...

'You actually transferred your commission to me? Do you even know that my god is Hera?! I don't even want to think about what will happen to me if this gets out.'

"Lord Hermes, I..." Bai Zhi was about to refuse when she was interrupted.

"Your problem is that your body cannot withstand the power of the gods. You can use external forces to store divine power, such as a divine artifact that is unique to you. Go to Hephaestus; he can forge a divine artifact that is unique to you."

Hermes pulled out a compass: "This little gadget I made in advance can guide you to where you want to go."

Bai Zhi glanced at the compass; the needle was drifting aimlessly.

“Oh, interesting. You have little time left to live, yet you're thinking about other things,” Hermes said with interest. “You haven't decided on your destination yet. By the way, where else would you like to go? Let me see…”

The compass needle stopped and pointed north.

“Alright.” Hermes shrugged. “Once you’ve made up your mind, let’s get going. You can relax a bit on the way; you’ll have more time than you think.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Watching Bai Zhi's departing figure, Apollo said speechlessly, "As expected of the god of deception, isn't he worried that this child will go to Hera and say bad things about you afterwards?"

“You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want. How did I deceive him? This journey really doesn’t take much time, from the perspective of the gods.” With an innocent look on his face, Hermes added with a smirk, “I am a messenger, entrusted by the gods, and I cannot refuse.”

"No matter how you try to justify it, the fact that you lied will not be erased." Glancing at the other person, Apollo asked, "Besides Hera, who commissioned you?"

"It is the deity with the best relationship with humankind."

“…So it was her.” Apollo suddenly realized, and said disdainfully, “They’re both gods, so why is there such a big difference between them?”

Seemingly aware of his own wrongdoing and the psychological trauma he suffered from Apollo, Hermes changed the subject, saying, "By the way, what do you think Artemis was thinking when she bestowed divine blessings upon this child? The seed has been planted, and there's only one path left to take."

“Hmm…” Looking up at the sky, Apollo pondered for a moment and said helplessly, “She probably didn’t consider anything, she just wanted to protect this child.”

"I had the same guess."

......

Six days later——

"I was so stupid to believe the lies of the god of lies."

Pushing aside the bushes blocking her way, Bai Zhi, dressed in tattered clothes, hurried along.

Orange lines covered his cheeks, and under Apollo's blessing, his speed at this moment even left afterimages.

In six days, he fought bandits, killed monsters, rescued civilians, crossed long rivers, climbed cliffs, and descended into great lakes.

After going through countless hardships, all that lay ahead was still a vast forest, and to be honest, he was starting to have psychological trauma from it.

"There's no distance display on the compass, so how long will it take to reach our destination?"

"Help...help me..."

"Don't leave any money... or any survivors..."

His hurried steps came to an abrupt halt, his ears twitched, and he looked in the direction of the sound.

"Bandits? Tsk, I don't even have time." After complaining a few times, Bai Zhi changed her route.

After traveling some distance, a dozen or so ragged bandits on horseback came into view, surrounding several luxurious carriages.

"Wouldn't it be better to just find a job and live a normal life? Coming to the wilderness to be a bandit, what if you get eaten by a passing monster? Your life would be in danger."

With a sigh, Bai Zhi walked out of the forest and muttered, "I'll give you a chance. Lay down your weapons, surrender obediently, and swear to the gods that you will live a peaceful life from now on, and I'll let you go."

"Which city's little nobleman ran off to, brainwashed into an idiot by a bard?" the bandit leader mocked, and the other bandits seemed to laugh in response.

Although the orange lines on Bai Zhi's skin are intimidating, his current appearance is far from flattering.

His clothes were tattered (from being torn by branches and thorns while traveling), and his face was covered in dust (from being in the lake and then covered in sand). If it weren't for the luxurious fabric of his clothes, the bandits might have mistaken him for a beggar in distress.

"Well, you can't reason with a fool like him."

Killing the scum on the street was no psychological burden for him, who possessed the memories of Bai Zhi from the Lawless Zone; after all, they were just scum.

Just as he was about to subdue the bandits, the curtain of the most luxurious carriage was lifted, and a richly dressed old woman stepped out.

"Child, you should go. You don't need to worry about us old women. Your own life is the most important thing." As the old woman spoke, several other elderly women emerged from the other carriages.

"I..." I'm currently very strong; I can easily deal with this group of bandits.

Bai Zhi only got to the beginning before she was interrupted.

"Tch, a bunch of old guys, what bad luck." The bandit leader complained. He had thought there would be some nobles or wealthy people in the carriage, but it turned out to be an old man who had just stepped into the gates of hell.

The bandits' modus operandi was to rob and kill on the spot. Extortion was a waste of time for these bandits living in the wild in Greece. If the hostage's relatives asked a hero to cause trouble, these bandits, who were only slightly stronger than ordinary people, wouldn't even leave a ripple.

The bandit shook his head, raised his machete, and slashed at the old woman's neck.

Snapped!

A hand suddenly reached out from the side and grabbed the bandit leader's arm as he swung it down.

"It's not good to make things difficult for the elderly." Bai Zhi tightened her grip, sighed, and narrowed her eyes: "I've given you a chance."

His narrowed pupils gleamed with a sharp, cold light.

Knee Strike + Spinning Kick + Floating Slide + Floating Intercept + Instant Kick + Kaslana Gunfight Technique.

With a series of combos, Bai Zhi quickly dispatched the bandits, making them no challenge whatsoever.

"Have you suffered any injuries? These guys aren't going to wake up for the time being." Pointing to the bandits who had collapsed at her feet, Bai Zhi asked if they should search them to make up for the losses.

"No, no need. It's thanks to your timely arrival, hero, that we escaped this calamity." The old woman waved her hand.

"I don't want to be a hero." Muttering to herself, Bai Zhi grabbed the bandit leader by the collar, pulled him together with the other bandits, and then took out a small amount of honey from her storage bag and poured it on their groin...

"Wait, hero, what are you doing? They've already passed out..." The old woman was stunned. She had lived to such an old age and seen everything, but she had never seen anything like this before.

"Ah, it's nothing, just giving them an unforgettable memory."

Bai Zhi smiled innocently: "If they rob again in the future, the psychological trauma from this incident will surface in their minds, preventing them from committing evil deeds once and for all. Oh, you reminded me, memories from when we're conscious are more vivid. Right, we also need to find an anthill..."

"No, child...that's not what I meant." The old woman quickly stepped forward to stop her.

If Bai Zhi really does it, he won't be able to look at him the same way for a long time to come.

“You have done enough. I will arrange for people to deal with them and punish those who have committed evil deeds. Violence is a low act. Their future will be to make amends to those they have harmed, and they will spend their entire lives doing so.”

The old woman made a suggestion and decided to implement it. She looked at Bai Zhi's handsome appearance and reached out to gently stroke his cheek.

“You are a smart child, but has anyone ever said that you are very easy to understand? You saw the problem but were unwilling to admit it. Instead, you used a ridiculous method to make me make the first move. This is a great disrespect to the gods.”

"I dare not disturb the divine being's enjoyment," Bai Zhi thought to herself, rubbing her nose.

"As my life was counting down, a group of old men suddenly appeared deep in the forest, and I just happened to stumble upon them. What a coincidence! And, Your Majesty, if you're going to act, at least do it properly. Look at the extras behind you—each one standing tall and silent, showing not a shred of fear of the bandits. They don't look like kidnapped people at all; they look more like hunters lying in wait."

“I saw the answer in your eyes. You guessed that this was all a ploy by me, yet you still came to rescue me. Perhaps in your mind, you were doing this to appease the gods, but that is not the case.”

You revere the gods, but you despise being a hero.

Bai Zhi's eyes flickered, and she was about to speak.

"Relax, child, Hera and the other gods are not paying attention to you for the time being."

Wait, does this mean that at other times, everything I do is in the eyes of the gods?

Bai Zhi was both surprised and frightened.

Will Bai Zhi Space's cheat ability be exposed?

"Compared to heroes, I hope that humanity can live a happy life, have harmonious families, have enough to eat, and live happily."

With a harmonious family, Bai Zhi may now know which deity is currently in power.

"Child, have you ever paid attention to your eyes?" The old woman looked directly into Bai Zhi's emerald green eyes and smiled, "Your eyes are beautiful. They have experienced deep darkness, but they have never succumbed to it. They still radiate your own unique brilliance."

You have your own ideas and interests, but I saw your kind and pure side in your eyes.

Perhaps you don't want to be a hero, but according to your heart, you will surely be one in the future.

Bai Zhi wanted to refute, but the words wouldn't come out. What selfless hero? He wasn't that kind of person. All he wanted was to live happily and see unfamiliar scenery. All his thoughts and actions were for himself.

However, under the loving gaze of this god, revered by humankind, he could not speak.

He really wanted to argue back. His desires were actually very simple, not as noble as you might imagine. Even now, he didn't mind doing small favors, but he couldn't guarantee anything more.

“I still stand by my decision, my God. I don’t have much time left. Could you please help me get to the temple of Hephaestus? What requests do you have? I can fulfill them for you.”

Not wanting to continue the topic, Bai Zhi changed the subject. He really didn't have much time left; the sky was about to turn to dusk, and there were only seven hours left until dawn.

"Don't worry, child. You are loved by the gods. The blessings of the moon goddess and the god of light guide your path, and I am with you too."

The old woman smiled, and her appearance and clothing gradually changed. Her pale hair became shiny, and her wrinkled face regained its youth. Finally, a tall, maternal goddess with brown hair, wearing a pure white headscarf and a beautiful long robe, stood before him.

"I am Hestia, the goddess of the hearth and home, and also the goddess of fire, one of the twelve Olympian gods."

Hestia, the most sacred and ancient goddess on Mount Olympus, one of the three virgin goddesses, was the elder sister of Zeus, the king of the gods. She held a very high position among the Olympian gods and was the chief goddess. Even Hera, the queen of the gods, dared not use her divine authority to suppress her.

At the same time, Hestia is also the goddess with the most friendly relationship with humans. She holds the divine power over the hearth and has become the guardian of families. Hestia is like a mother, caring for every family.

So Hestia was quite surprised when Hera came to her temple and begged her to favor one of the children. As the elder sister, she naturally knew what kind of person her sister Hera was.

That's why she was curious about what kind of child Hera would go to such lengths for.

So she turned her gaze to Bai Zhi and saw everything Bai Zhi had experienced after leaving her homeland, the good deeds she did within her power, and the selfless acts of kindness that were different from the actions of heroes of this era. When Hestia saw those pure eyes, she knew that she was attracted to this child.

So she came, using crude methods, because she knew that even if Bai Zhi discovered it, she would still willingly fall for it.

Things turned out exactly as she had imagined, so she smiled.

Hestia smiled and led Bai Zhi into the carriage. She lowered the curtain, and the carriage swayed slightly inside. She stopped talking about heroes and gods and instead began to talk about Bai Zhi's personal life.

For example, are you getting used to life in the wild? What career do you plan to pursue after receiving divine blessings? Is there a woman you like? These questions are like a mother's loving care for her child.

At first, Bai Zhi was somewhat eager, but as Hestia asked questions and showed concern, she gradually relaxed her guard.

The Greek Runaway Prince: Chapter Seventeen - Hephaestus is a Goddess?! What Greek Anecdotes?!

I can endure darkness if I have never seen the light.

Greek Angelica Diomedes, Terra Sakota Angelica Andercher, Collapse K233 Angelica Paimon, Celestial Angelica Carbonisine Netherworld Liu Si sulfur abandoned Emu Bas.

The memories of four worlds, the shared essence of four angelicas, the enhancement of strength and mental fortitude, and the increase in endurance are not simply a matter of 1+1.

No matter how dark the circumstances, the angelica plants are confident that they can overcome them, but there is one problem.

Driven and hunted down by his own uncle, stripped of his Lateran citizenship, an experimental subject raised in a laboratory, a vagrant wandering the lawless zone.

They can endure darkness, but cannot bear the light.

The love of the Hestia gods was like the boundless embrace of a mother. A warm current flowed through Bai Zhi's cold heart, her eyes moistened, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

During this time, Bai Zhi opened her heart.

However, all good things must come to an end, and he didn't have enough time left to enjoy the warmth.
