437: Chapter 437 Aphrodite’s Proposal 437: Chapter 437 Aphrodite’s Proposal “Wait, soone is coming.” Suddenly, Nightmare halted everyone, pointing into the distance.
Several off-road vehicles were kicking up dust, driving towards Ye Shikai and his companions; Soul Destroyer instinctively raised the Long White Sword in defense.
“Let’s observe the situation first.” Ye Shikai held out his hand to stop Soul Destroyer, according to the intelligence, the opening of the Atlantis ruins attracted many experts from the Underworld, and this was probably one of them, if not unexpected.
Ye Shikai disliked launching preemptive attacks; friend or foe, it’s always best to clarify first.
Before long, three off-road vehicles drove straight toward them, slowing to a stop in front of the group.
“Bang.” The car door opened and a slender pale leg stepped out—this was a woman.
Ye Shikai was surprised and eager to see who this distinguished figure was.
The woman stepped down from the car, took off her sunglasses, revealing a face so beautiful that it could overthrow cities, she was a European beauty.
She gave Ye Shikai a slight smile, a gentle curve forming at the corner of her mouth.
“Hello, how serendipitous, Hades, to et you here,” the woman cheerfully waved and greeted.
“Aphrodite, I didn’t expect it to be her,” Nightmare muttered under his breath.
Aphrodite is one of the twelve Main Gods, the Goddess of Beauty.
It was rumored that a Main God had co here, it turned out to be true.
“Aphrodite, what brings you here?” Ye Shikai asked coldly.
The woman in front of him was a true fem fatale.
As a Main God, her combat skills were not her forte, but her specializations were Charming Skills and Illusion Technique.
She could easily cause ntal breakdowns using illusions, making those with weak spirits more susceptible to her enchantnts, hence, Ye Shikai had to be fully alert, not daring to slacken even a bit.
“Haha, I ca here, of course, to treasure hunt.
The legend has it that the ruins of Atlantis contain the Origin of Life, drinking from it grants Immortality and eternal youth,” Aphrodite said with a laugh, seemingly sowhat manic in her obsession with beauty, but that is hardly surprising, as she is the Goddess of Beauty.
If one cannot preserve their youth, then decades later, seeing the so-called Goddess of Beauty withered into a hunched old lady, the irony would be profound.
“Ah, ti is a slaughter knife; wrinkles would be terrible,” Aphrodite feigned sorrow, then pitifully added, “Hades, you would definitely want to help , right?” She even fluttered her eyelashes trying to charm Ye Shikai, causing Demoness beside him to feel indignant.
“Not interested, go wherever it’s cool and stay there,” Ye Shikai turned his head away, refusing to look at her.
Beauty tricks might work on ravenous n, but for soone like him, who had seen countless won, the effect was minimal, not to ntion, this wasn’t as simple as fetching her a glass of water; the slightest carelessness in the ruins could cost lives.
“Hades, how about we form an alliance then?
With both of us Main Gods here, we could scare off quite a few,” Aphrodite stubbornly continued, clearly determined not to give up until her goal was achieved.
“Hmph, no need, Netherworld Palace prefers to act alone,” Ye Shikai coldly refused.
Aphrodite’s strength was not strong, in contrast, Netherworld Palace had, aside from Ye Shikai, the Netherworld King himself, three Netherworld Generals, and many other experts—highly powerful.
Aphrodite rely wanted to false display of power, hoping to borrow the prestige of Netherworld Palace.
“Hades, if I have information about the Moon God, would you consider my proposal?” Just as Ye Shikai turned to leave, Aphrodite suddenly spoke faintly, causing Ye Shikai to pause and stop in his tracks.
It appeared that Aphrodite had presented a bargaining chip Ye Shikai couldn’t refuse—the safety of Ji Qian.
“Do you really have news of the Moon God?” Ye Shikai asked faintly.
“Hmph, you should know about my information network.
As a sign of goodwill, I can tell you that she is not in imdiate danger, but her situation is not good,” Aphrodite said with a slight smile, confident in her control over Ye Shikai.
“Why should I believe you?” Ye Shikai said sternly.
“You don’t have to believe , but the Moon God might be in danger then,” Aphrodite said with a light smile.
As a woman with an obsessive pursuit of beauty, she was extrely jealous of Ji Qian, who also possessed stunning beauty.
The Moon God and the Goddess of Beauty, one an Eastern beauty and the other a Western beauty, were often compared by the people of the Underworld.
What’s more unexpected is that the admirers of Ji Qian slightly outnumbered those of Aphrodite.
It was unknown who, having too much free ti, made a tally sheet that had everyone in the Underworld vote.
The result showed Ji Qian leading by a small margin, probably because those foreigners had an indescribable fascination with Eastern won.
Of course, Ji Qian was indifferent to this voting result.
At that ti, she was deeply in love with Ye Shikai, and those who secretly adored Ji Qian, daunted by the reputation of the Netherworld King, knew better and backed off.
A few daring ones ended up dead by Ye Shikai’s hand.
This left Aphrodite feeling downcast, and since that event, she harbored a grudge, wishing to surpass Ji Qian once again.
There were only two ways to do so: one was to directly eliminate Ji Qian—a crude and simple thod, but with the lowest chance of success.
Given Ji Qian’s strength and the protective backing of Netherworld Palace, if Ye Shikai found out that soone hard Ji Qian, the assaulter would face the relentless pursuit of Netherworld Palace.
Aphrodite lacked the courage to proceed with this, at least Ye Shikai believed so.
Therefore, she chose the second thod—to find the Origin of Life and retain eternal youth.
Throughout history, many have sought immortality; Emperor Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng is a pri example.
Conquering all under heaven, unmatched by anyone, yet he was defeated by his final adversary, death.
Regarding the Origin of Life, Ye Shikai had only heard rumors and never knew whether it was real or not.
Seeing Aphrodite’s resolute expression, Ye Shikai also began to doubt, wondering if such a thing truly existed.
“Fine, I’ll trust you this ti, but you must show so sincerity,” Ye Shikai pondered and finally agreed to Aphrodite’s proposal.
Aphrodite slowly walked over to Ye Shikai and pressed her body against him, whispering enticingly into his ear.
“There’s an RV over there; if you want sincerity, we can take our ti talking it over… in bed.”
