The hardworking and uncomplaining Pegasus slowly descended before the temple of the goddess of agriculture Deter, carrying Jason.
The two huge monsters squatting at the temple gate could not help but stand up simultaneously, casting vigilant gazes.
But when they saw clearly who the visitor was, they were slightly stunned, the hostility in their eyes completely disappeared, and they lay down lazily again.
"Both lords, long ti no see." Jason walked toward them and greeted them. After they nodded lightly in response, they narrowed their eyes and continued to rest.
Then Jason ca before the grand temple gate, gently knocked on the temple door, waited quietly for a while, and soon saw a nymph fairy serving the goddess of agriculture push the door open and appear before Jason.
The nymph fairy who opened the door looked at the handso boy before her, slightly stunned, her brows lightly furrowed, and was about to scold this youth who had barged into the temple rashly when.
"Long ti no see, Fairy Eunice."
Eunice was stunned.
How does he know ?
Looking at the handso man smiling before her, gazing at his erald eyes, after a good while, Eunice's eyes gradually widened.
"Jason... You are Jason, right!"
Looking at the nymph fairy before her who showed a surprised and excited expression, Jason nodded with a smile.
Back then, because of the conditions given by Deter, Jason had lived in this temple for half a year, so he naturally knew the nymph fairies here.
And relying on his identity as a little shota back then, along with his likable words, Jason was very popular here.
When Jason left back then, not only was Goddess Deter heartbroken for a long ti, but even the nymph fairies felt that the entire temple had beco quiet and boring.
"Really you! Co, co, let take a look... I really did not expect that in the blink of an eye, little Jason, you have grown so big, and beco so handso!"
Subsequently, this nymph fairy excitedly pulled Jason before her, touching here and there.
"Co, quick, co in. If the great Goddess Deter knows you are here, she will definitely be overjoyed!"
Saying this, she held Jason's hand, brought him into the temple, and excitedly said: "Let tell you, ever since you left, Goddess Deter has been thinking of you every day. Even when Goddess Persephone ca back, the most Goddess Deter said to her was complaints.
Complaining why Goddess Persephone did not bring you and that child dea to play, making Persephone complain to us for many nights, saying that her mother goddess no longer loves her, hee hee..."
"Oh right, little Jason, where is little dea? She must have grown into an incredibly beautiful girl now, right? Why did she not co with you?"
Saying this, this nymph fairy began to look around everywhere.
"dea did not co; she went back very early. She has already returned to her own country."
Jason answered her words, hesitated for a while, and then said: "By the way, Fairy Eunice, may I ask sothing?... Is Sister Persephone in the temple?"
"Goddess Persephone?" Fairy Eunice thought for a mont and shook her head: "No, she is not here now. She said a couple of days ago that she seed to have gone to play with Lady Artemis, the moon goddess."
"Is that so." Upon hearing this, Jason clearly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That is great; it seems I arrived just in ti..."
Eunice looked at Jason who said this and could not help but tilt her head: "Little Jason, could it be that you... Made Goddess Persephone angry?"
"Ah, no, I did not make sister angry." Jason hurriedly shook his head and explained: "It is just that this ti I ca, actually I have so words I want to say alone to Goddess Deter."
Upon hearing this, Eunice felt relieved.
Then under her lead, they passed through the temple until they ca to a courtyard growing various rare plants.
Jason saw this and could not help but feel a little surprised in his heart.
Because here was not the dicine field he had once tinkered with...
"Ever since you and dea left, the thing Goddess Deter valued the most was these rare plants you and she left behind."
Eunice seed to see the doubt in Jason's heart and smiled as she explained: "From the ti you left, Goddess Deter cos to clean and personally cultivate every day; even we cannot intervene.
Over these years, this area has expanded several tis over, and Deter has also placed quite a few rare things inside, saying that when you and dea co back, she wants to give you a surprise."
Upon hearing this, Jason's expression could not help but appear sowhat moved. Looking at the dicine field before him that was so well taken care of, he could not help but feel a trace of guilt in his heart.
And just then...
"Eunice, did I not say that without my permission, none of you can co here?"
Accompanied by a dissatisfied and reproachful soft voice, the beautiful woman Deter walked out from behind a sacred tree.
She resembled Persephone in appearance; after all, they were mother and daughter, with the sa golden long hair tied in a long braid behind, eyes presenting a beautiful athyst color, and a head adorned with a ring-shaped crown woven from golden wheat ears.
"Sorry, great Goddess of Agriculture Deter, but... Goddess Deter, although I did not get permission from you, the great deity, I got permission from the little master of this area."
Eunice replied with a light laugh.
"Permission from the little master?"
Walking out and basking in the bright sunlight, Deter said with so doubt in her eyes: "Who... Hmm?"
In the next second, under the collision of gazes.
The beautiful goddess directly froze in place.
"...Deter godmother, long ti no see."
Then, only Jason's soft voice was heard.
And after Jason finished speaking, Deter, whose mind flashed with a bolt of lightning, almost could not stand steady for a mont because of excessive surprise...
"Deter godmother!"
"Goddess Deter!"
Seeing this, Fairy Eunice and Jason were both startled at the sa ti and hurriedly stepped forward to support her.
And so, after a short while...
In a pavilion in this courtyard.
Deter sat in it, hands crossed before her body, mouth puffed up, head turned to the side, making "hmph hmph" sounds.
...As expected of mother and daughter; even this angry appearance is similar.
Jason muttered softly in his heart.
Then he cast a seeking-help gaze toward Eunice, but Eunice sneaked a laugh and shifted her gaze away, indicating she saw nothing.
So Jason could only steel himself, step forward to coax Deter: "Deter godmother, I am back."
"Hmph hmph!"
"Deter godmother, I was wrong; I should not have not co to see you for so long. Just forgive ."
"Hmph hmph!"
Jason was helpless and once again cast his gaze toward Eunice, but the laughing Eunice still had no intention of coming to help.
Jason looked around and found that his forr shield dea was not here either, so finally, after hesitating for a while, Jason steeled his heart and ca beside Goddess Deter.
He gently held Deter's hand and said pitifully: "Deter godmother, I really was wrong; I guarantee there will absolutely be no next ti. Just forgive this once, please..."
Upon hearing this, Deter finally turned her head to look at Jason, looking at his pitiful appearance, her heart very unbearable.
But ultimately, she held back the impulse to hold Jason in her arms and love him fiercely, pretending to be angry: "This is what you said, oh; absolutely no next ti..."
"Yes yes, no next ti, absolutely no next ti!" Jason nodded frantically and said: "Then Deter godmother, does that an you forgive ..."
"Where is it that simple." Deter rolled her eyes at Jason, reached out to pinch Jason's face, and then said: "If you want to forgive you, you must promise a few things!"
"Deter godmother, you say; I guarantee I will complete them!"
"I have not even said anything yet..." Deter pinched Jason's face.
"It is fine; although Deter godmother you have not said anything, no matter what godmother you say, I will agree." Jason said with a grinning smile: "And godmother, you love so much; you definitely will not deliberately make things difficult for , right? Hee hee."
If Hecate were here, seeing Jason like this, she would probably feel uncomfortable all over and want to kick Jason a few tis... Shaless!
Of course, whether Jason would take the opportunity to hug her leg is unknown.
But who let the other party be Deter; she instead felt it very enjoyable. Just look at the happy smile blooming on her face now.
"This is what you said, oh. Then from now on, you cannot leave for several years without coming to see ! And dea too; why did you not bring her along!"
Upon hearing this, Jason thought for a while and said to Deter: "Deter godmother, with my sister's personality, once she returns ho, she will definitely pray to you, Deter godmother, and Teacher Hecate, Sister Persephone, and you all every day. Did you not hear?"
"I heard; little dea is so obedient, unlike you, a heartless little thing!" Deter said this and pressed Jason's forehead with her hand.
"But I still hope to see you and little dea co to see together."
"Is that so? I understand; next ti I will bring her along." Jason nodded and promised: "And I guarantee I will co to see godmother you often!"
"That is more like it; that is my good obedient child."
After Deter nodded in satisfaction, she said again: "Then my obedient child, have you prepared the tribute for ?"
Saying this, Deter looked at Jason with a face full of expectation.
Sigh, who knows when it started.
Whenever it is a god to whom Jason has not yet offered a tribute, upon seeing Jason, they always ask such a question and show such expectation.
It has gotten to the point where now Jason is afraid... Well, but he was always afraid of eting gods anyway, so no difference.
But this ti, Jason's gaze did not dodge; instead, after smiling, he replied to Deter: "Deter godmother, your tribute... I can say I am prepared, but currently also say I am not prepared."
"Hmm?" Deter tilted her head and looked at Jason doubtfully.
"For the tribute to Deter godmother, I have actually been thinking all along about what exactly I should offer to godmother; I have been troubled by this for a long ti."
Upon hearing this, Deter's eyes could not help but light up slightly.
Because one cannot lie to gods.
Therefore, Deter happily stroked Jason's head and said: "Is that so... But child, you actually do not need to be so troubled, because no matter what you give , I will definitely be happy!"
"No, the tribute offered to Deter godmother, how can it be child's play."
Jason shook his head very seriously and said to Deter: "So I really was troubled by this for a long ti and finally said... Deter godmother, incompetent seems unable to offer you anything in formal terms.
I cannot imagine what exactly you need... But Deter godmother, I know you are a great mother; you care about your child more than anyone, care about Sister Persephone!"
Listening to Jason's words, Deter could not help but be slightly stunned, her eyes showing doubt, clearly not knowing why Persephone was suddenly ntioned.
Jason then looked at her and continued: "Actually, this ti, after Sister Persephone ca back, I have been preparing... Preparing a wedding.
That is the tribute I am offering to Brother-in-law Hades, the king of the Underworld, and Sister Persephone... But so ti ago, when I learned from Teacher Hecate that originally the gods are not absolutely unable to go to the Underworld, just the conditions are extrely harsh, I had a new idea...
So I convinced my teacher Hecate; she helped et every Underworld god in the Underworld, while I went to et those three great primordial deities, the god of darkness Erebus, the god of the abyss Tartarus, the goddess of the night Nyx.
Obtained permission from them... They agreed that on the wedding day, that is, the day Sister Persephone returns to the Underworld.
The gods who receive the wedding invitation can enter and exit the Underworld and attend this wedding!"
"You... Convinced all the Underworld gods?"
Deter's eyes gradually widened, looking at Jason in shock, and said: "Child, you... How did you do it, and you even t those three primordial deities, and they agreed to you?!
This... This is too unbelievable!"
"I took a shortcut and barely managed, Deter godmother... And the reason I suddenly chose to do this, besides wanting to do my utmost to make this wedding the best.
Actually, it is also because I thought of you, Deter godmother..."
"...Thought of ?"
Deter pointed to herself, her eyes full of incomprehension.
"Deter godmother, do you still rember the original matter between us?... Speaking of it, everything started with that incident."
Recalling the past, Jason smiled lightly to Deter: "I needed the help of a god controlling the divine power of life, thus starting the journey.
With the help of the gods, I secretly took Sister Persephone away from you, godmother..."
"Yes." ntioning this, Deter could not help but laugh too and said: "At that ti, I was really very angry... Speaking of it, I should properly thank Hestia.
If not for her, I had already made up my mind to make you pay the price when I saw you."
Upon hearing this, Jason stuck out his tongue and continued: "At the sa ti, because of this incident, I deeply realized what a great mother Deter godmother you are.
So I thought, if Deter godmother you cannot be in the wedding hall, give your daughter the mother's blessing, and walk your daughter through the marriage hall, that would undoubtedly be the greatest regret for you.
At the sa ti, I also thought that if on the wedding day, Deter godmother you could see the gods of Olympus blessing Sister Persephone, you would definitely be very happy..."
"...So you went to find those three primordial deities and sought permission from them?"
At this mont, Deter finally understood Jason's words.
"You did all this... Everything for ?!"
"Yes... Not entirely; also for Brother Hades and Sister Persephone."
Jason honestly said to Deter: "But the biggest reason I went to seek the Underworld gods was indeed hoping that on that day, Deter godmother you could take Sister Persephone into the marriage hall.
To personally witness the happiest day of Sister Persephone's life, witness the blessings Sister Persephone receives...
The matter between us can be said to have started because of Sister Persephone.
And after long consideration, finding myself unable to offer Deter godmother you anything, I thought of this...
Deter godmother, on that day, will you take Sister Persephone into the marriage hall?"
The last sentence, Jason said to Deter with a probing tone, because he actually was not completely sure whether Deter had already accepted Hades...
But even so, Jason knew very well.
Any mother, on the day her daughter or child gets married, absolutely longs to stand by their side, protecting them.
Let alone Deter, who loves her child so much!
And just as Jason finished saying these words to Deter, in the distant Underworld, in Hecate's temple.
Reaching out, only to see a beautiful underworld butterfly perched on her fingertip; at this mont, on Hecate's peerlessly beautiful face, a faint smile could not help but appear.
"I see... No wonder with that slly wicked disciple's personality, he would suddenly do sothing so reckless; this way, everything makes sense."
Cerberus beside obviously also heard what Jason said and now could not help but look at Hecate with an adoring gaze: "Goddess Hecate, so you knew long ago, that is why you went to help that guy."
"Hmm? What are you saying, Cerberus."
Hecate, who had satisfied her curiosity, waved her hand to disperse the underworld butterfly in her hand, and after not continuing to eavesdrop, said sowhat lazily to Cerberus: "I really did not know about this... My wicked disciple probably was not sure if Deter would accept this tribute either, so he did not say it clearly."
"Ah." Cerberus was stunned: "Then Goddess Hecate, why did you agree so decisively that day..."
"Did I not say? Because it felt very interesting." Hecate said matter-of-factly, paused slightly, and then said: "And this wicked disciple, although really very troubleso, always bringing back a body full of trouble for to clean up, but... He is ultimately my student."
Hecate said this, the corner of her mouth curving up slightly: "And how could my, Hecate's, student possibly be bad!"
Simply put, it was actually trust.
Although Hecate called him wicked disciple one after another, and often complained about wanting to expel this wicked disciple from the sect.
But in her heart, she trusted Jason imnsely.
Even to the point of unconditional.
Therefore, even if she would be angry afterward, huff and puff and kick Jason, but facing Jason's requests, she had never refused...
Hecate often complained about the other gods, saying they spoiled Jason too much and should let him suffer more hardships.
But actually, in the eyes of the gods, Hecate had no right to stand out and say this; if she did, people would feel.
She was actually just showing off, showing off her child Jason!
Therefore, every ti Hecate said this, look, which god would pay attention to her; the gazes looking at her were instead full of speechlessness and disdain...
...
...
"You went to seek those three primordial deities; although I do not know what you paid, but you ultimately convinced them.
And at the sa ti convinced all the Underworld gods, obtained permission for the Olympian gods to go to the Underworld that day.
And on that day, let take my daughter to the marriage hall, witness her happiness... This is the tribute you are offering , right, child?"
Hecate understood what was going on.
Then Deter naturally also understood the reason.
"...Yes." Jason hesitated for a while, then under Deter's gaze, gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Sorry, Deter godmother; was I too presumptuous like this..."
Subsequently, before Jason could finish his words, Deter could no longer hold back and pulled Jason into her arms.
Hugging him tightly, for a long ti without speaking.
And at this mont, the only nymph fairy standing beside watching was even moved to wipe a trace of tear from the corner of her eye.
"Um... Deter godmother?" Jason, who was hugged, after a good while, could not help but carefully say: "Are you crying?"
"Yes... But this is because I am too happy."
Deter slowly released Jason, reached out to wipe the tears from her face, then looked at Jason before her, showing an extrely gentle expression, and softly said: "Now I am certain of one thing... Child, actually you really need not offer any tribute.
Because eting you is the best tribute I have received in this life!"
This was the evaluation from Deter, the goddess of agriculture among the twelve main gods of Olympus, who possessed the power to wither the earth and decay all things.
But the nymph fairy standing beside did not feel that this great deity's words were exaggerated at all.
"I will go that day, child... Thank you."
"No, Deter godmother, you do not need to thank , because this is what I should do... Actually, to be honest, I was still very afraid; I thought Deter godmother you would be very angry." Jason said softly.
"Why?"
"Because Deter godmother, you actually have not forgiven Brother Hades yet, right..."
"How could I." Deter smiled and said extrely firmly: "How could I forgive him... Absolutely impossible in this lifeti!"
Upon hearing this, Jason could not help but shrink his head.
"But forgiving or not is another matter... Just as you said, child, as a mother, how could I not hope to personally witness my daughter's happiest mont... Originally, I thought in this life, I would forever have no such opportunity.
So thank you, child... You are the best tribute I have received."
"Is that so... That is great." At this point, Jason finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "To be honest, I was really afraid Deter godmother you would be angry... But I really envy Sister Persephone, having a mother like you, Deter godmother."
"What are you saying, child."
Deter indulgently stroked Jason's head; her beautiful purple eyes gazed at him and said in an extrely gentle tone: "You do not need to envy Persephone at all, because you are also my child, Jason.
Or... Are you just calling for fun, toying with my feelings?"
Saying this, Deter made a very hurt appearance, scaring Jason to hurriedly indicate no.
Looking at Jason's panicked appearance, Deter could not help but laugh very happily.
And then...
"Deter godmother..."
"Hmm?"
"I... Can I really be your child?"
Deter looked in surprise at Jason before her, who after hesitating, carefully said this to her, then laughed very happily and said: "Of course!"
