454: Chapter 454: The Entrance to the Treasure 454: Chapter 454: The Entrance to the Treasure Inside the room.
“So, you ca here to rescue the Moon God.” Athena said lightly, after Ye Shikai had explained everything from start to finish, and the experts from the three teams of the Underworld finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They were already quite surprised to encounter Athena, thankfully it seed she was not here to target Ye Shikai.
When gods fight, these “mortals” can hardly bear the consequences.
“I can’t possibly help you save her.” At this point, Iga Kawa said indifferently, “That woman killed my uncle, if I encounter her, I will definitely kill her.” As Kawa spoke, her hand inadvertently touched the Ghost Blade at her waist.
“Then I will kill you before you can make your move.” Ye Shikai said coldly, confident in his ability to do so, and he wouldn’t mind being at odds with the entire Iga Family if Kawa dared to make a move.
Even a clay Buddha has its fire-like anger; if a man had his woman touched by others and remained indifferent, then Ye Shikai wouldn’t deserve to be called the Netherworld King.
“Little girl, if you want to kill soone in front of him, you better call your grandfather over first.” At this mont, Athena spoke, her tone sowhat teasing.
“You…” Kawa most hated being underestimated, but due to Athena’s strength, she couldn’t just make a move even if she felt aggrieved.
“Hmph.”
…………………
“Athena, can you not look at like that.” Ye Shikai walking ahead, constantly felt uneasy, as if being watched, and turning back, he saw Athena looking at him with a teasing expression, desire in her eyes.
“What’s wrong, my fiancé, can’t I look at you?” Athena tilted her head slightly, smiling at Ye Shikai, while people from the three teams turned their heads away, pretending not to see.
Ever since coming back from Holy Mountain, Athena had been declaring in the Underworld that Hades was her fiancé, fortunately Ji Qian knew the reason behind it and kept silent.
“You know full well that I’m already married.” Ye Shikai said helplessly.
“Yes, but I also know that your Netherworld Empress is not the Moon God.” Athena smiled lightly, “You ca to this dreadful place just to save her.”
“What does that have to do with you?”
“I am not your Netherworld Empress, but neither is the Moon God; you can go to such lengths for a woman without title or status, so I believe, one day, I can also achieve this, to make you willingly serve .” Athena spoke with a smile, “By the way, your visit here must have displeased that Netherworld Empress of Huaxia.”
“You know this as well.” Ye Shikai raised an eyebrow, beginning to suspect that Athena had always been monitoring his life.
“I do know her quite well, although we’ve only t once at Holy Mountain.”
“The Moon God holds a special significance to , no one can replace her.” Ye Shikai sighed and stopped walking, “By the way, what brings you here, interested in the treasures of Atlantis too?”
“The Four Elents of Atlantis are indeed good items, if possible, let’s work together, one for , three for you.” Athena smiled as she spoke.
“Haha.”
“What are you laughing about?” Athena curiously scratched her head.
“Soone else also said the sa thing to before, but she has already slipped away.”
“Who?”
“The Goddess of Beauty, Aphrodite.” Ye Shikai said coldly.
“Don’t compare with that woman; we are very different.” Athena retorted fiercely, “Though we are both Westerners, I am not like her, all coquettish, solely profit-driven.”
Ye Shikai had no doubt about her assessnt; Athena was reputed as a “Valkyrie”, a straightforward person much like War God Wang Kai, a slightly violent “warmonger,” they disdain complex sches and prefer blunt force.
Ye Shikai led the group to the back yard of a house, featuring a well and overgrown with weeds…
“Hades, what did you bring us here for?” Athena curiously asked.
“Bladespirit, why did you bring here?” Simultaneously, Ye Shikai also voiced his question to Bladespirit.
“Inside that well lies the entrance to the treasure.”
“Really?” Ye Shikai stepped forward, looked down into the well where the night’s water reflected the full moon, “Isn’t that water below, how could it be the entrance?”
“You lack insight, that water surface is an illusion, just jump down and you’ll see.”
…………………
“Hades, where exactly are we?” Iga Kawa asked by the side.
“The entrance to the treasure lies behind this well.” Ye Shikai said lightly.
“What, inside this well?”
“How is that possible, could Lord Netherworld King be deceiving us?”
……………
People of the three teams murmured among themselves, not believing what Ye Shikai said, old sayings caution against looking into wells, which, coupled with the idioms about falling into wells, made this ordinary well an unlikely suspect.
Wells have beco synonymous with murder.
“This entrance to the treasure, is right here inside this well.” Ye Shikai repeated.
“Who wants to go in first?” Ye Shikai turned and asked, but the people silently stepped back, not daring to take such a risk, even more afraid of being cannon fodder; even Iga Kawa hesitated, her belief uncertain.
Ye Shikai felt a bit disheartened, but he also understood.
If he were one of them, he would not dare to just jump down either, seeing as they regard Hades as the Netherworld King, a mysterious figure whose tricks and stratagems are well known and thus people below might indeed beco cannon fodder.
Just as Ye Shikai was about to jump down, a figure flashed in front of him.
“Athena, it’s you.” Ye Shikai never expected that Athena would step forward.
“Since I’ve already considered you my fiancé, I will trust you unconditionally.” Athena showed a handso smile and jumped down directly, shockingly, when her body entered the water, it didn’t stir up a single splash, the surface like a mirror.
That water surface was an illusion.
Ye Shikai leaned on the well’s edge and climbed down.
“Where is this?” Ye Shikai opened his eyes, facing a tall double door, and Athena was observing it.
“So you ca down too.” Athena smiled.
“You were quite rash just now, weren’t you afraid I would leave you in the well?” Ye Shikai smiled slightly, teasing.
“I trust you wouldn’t do that.
If it were Hephesto or Zeus, perhaps they would, but I trust you won’t.” Athena firmly stated.
“Why.”
“If you really were that kind of person, the Moon God could not possibly have fallen for you.”
