Chapter 126: The Queen of the Sea's Younger Sister Ran Away with Her Brother-in-law_2
With three more Hundred-Handed Giants casting greedy glances and idly wandering around from time to time, the places in the sea that could be called "safe" for the Poseidon Clan were few and far between.
Just when they had hardly spent a few peaceful days, Eris of Olympus, the Goddess of Discord, came knocking, leaving the Queen of the Sea feeling cornered.
Seemingly sensing her predicament, Luo En took out a Medusa's Emblem from the opened Magic Circle Diagram in front of him and tossed it toward her, speaking gently,
"If you really have nowhere to go, you can take this to War God Mountain for help. After all, you are Tethys's sister, and with my approval, they should provide a place for you to stay. With a safe environment, you can rebuild the altar, gather the fire of faith, and Poseidon could recover sooner."
Cradling the still-warm Bronze Emblem and hearing such thoughtful arrangements, the Queen's gratitude toward her "brother-in-law" was immeasurable.
Her sister had truly married a good man, unlike her own situation...
With this thought, the Queen couldn't help feeling a bit self-pitying.
Seeing the almost visible resentment on his sister-in-law's face, Luo En swiftly changed the subject.
"Alright, better not delay. Prepare yourselves and set off as soon as possible. I'll have Venus stay behind to help."
"Me?"
Venus, surprised by the arrangement, immediately protested as she climbed out of a deep pit.
"Why should I take orders from them? I did all sorts of dirty work for the Sea God Temple, and Poseidon nearly killed me over a trivial matter! Protect his wife and child for no reason? No way!"
Embarrassed by these words, the Queen of the Sea faced a dilemma.
Being the intimate partner, she was aware of her husband's Divine Grade mischief and couldn't refute this truth.
So, if the Bronze Clan's Mechanical God was willing to reconcile, she might offer some compensation.
Seeing his sister-in-law's hesitant look, Luo En sympathetically interjected, sternly glancing at his disobedient subordinate, and proactively asked,
"What would you have then?"
"Unless..."
Venus's eyes shifted, revealing her bargaining chip.
"Let [Chaos] remove my [restrictions] and free me from being manipulated by anyone! Don't think I don't know that your Sea God Temple still controls the Mechanical Gods!"
Frankly, her request was reasonable, even lenient.
But...
The Queen of the Sea gave a bitter smile and answered with difficulty,
"Mechanical God Chaos and the entire Bronze Clan have been destroyed, and their bases were sunk by His Majesty the King of Gods; I'm afraid I can't fulfill your request."
Venus frowned, slightly displeased, and huffed,
"Forget it, just tell me the sunken location of Olympus and the access code, then I'll find a way myself in the future."
Upon hearing this, the Queen of the Sea breathed a sigh of relief, having just the thing.
Since the fall of the Bronze Clan, keeping it had served no purpose; it was better to curry favor by giving it away.
Thinking this, she extracted a colorful fish scale from a blue glow and handed it to Venus.
Venus, seeing the designated area and identification code on it, relaxed her tense expression, nodding in satisfaction,
"Fine, I will reluctantly take you on this trip. It so happens that I know of some deities of the sea relocating to a safe sea area under the organization of War God Mountain, including your father, Nereus, and managed by your sister, Tethys."
Hearing this, the Queen of the Sea was ecstatic, her hanging heart finally settling.
She hurried back to her bedroom to pack for the migration.
However, in her busyness, the Queen of the Sea didn't see the two "well-wishers" who had visited her secretly nodding to each other behind her back.
Indeed, Luo En's visit with Venus had served not only to persuade the Poseidon family to migrate, thereby binding them tightly with War God Mountain, but also to fulfill the promise of obtaining the inheritance of the Bronze Clan for Venus.
With their coordinated actions, the visit concluded successfully.
At that moment, the female Mechanical God Venus clutched the fish scale in her hand, outwardly composed but inwardly brimming with joy.
Boss is so smart. Such an important item was effortlessly obtained.
And on top of taking the advantage, the other party even said "thank you."
So wicked—I love it!
Venus glanced sideways at the handsome face next to her, her eyes turning seductive.
But she soon felt a bit depressed as her eyes fell.
It was good to have the thing, but it also meant that she had to disembark from the Argo, bidding her boss a formal farewell.
And after that, whether escorting the Poseidon family to the safe area or retrieving the Bronze Clan's inheritance at the battlefield site, both would take a lot of time.
Sensing Venus's somewhat resentful gaze, Luo En gave a comforting smile, his lips silently moving.
"Do what you need, I'll be back soon..."
Venus nodded softly, watching his figure transform into a trail of light that returned to the Argo, emotions named "melancholy" and "reluctance" stirring within her.
The female Mechanical God touched her warm cheek, experiencing the wonderful expressions caused by the muscle movements, complex thoughts swirling in her mind.
She felt she was becoming more and more like a human...

"My lord, you've returned?"
The people on the Argo rose to greet Luo En respectfully as they saw him return.
