    Aphrodite was also a little "confused", and she was also "confused" about Hebe's life experience.

    The main reason is that Hebe's priesthood has something in common with his life priesthood and the goddess of beauty, and Heber's birth method is also different from other gods, which blurs and "confuses" Aphrodite's perception.

    Maybe only after he asked about the law, could he judge whether Heber had anything to do with him.

    But after thinking about it carefully, Aphrodite felt that there was no need to ask about the law.

    First of all, Aphrodite would never admit that Hebe was her daughter, no matter whether Hebe was related to him or not, and how the gods speculated about what they had in common.

    It doesn't matter to him himself, after all, he is a male god and has a high position. But Hera would have this stigma of infidelity, even if she was innocent from beginning to end, the gods wouldn't care about that. Zeus, who is dissatisfied with her, will definitely seize this opportunity to insult her continuously, and even "force" her to give up the position of trance.

    And Heber, may also be stigmatized as an illegitimate daughter. Although, according to Hera's previous calculations, she may already be?

    Secondly, even if Hebo is not his daughter, he has to treat Hebo well, after all, she is indeed Hera's daughter.

    Although Hera's tender care was aimed at 'Nemesis', 'Nemesis' was originally Aphrodite.

    Aphrodite maintained her indifference to Hera on the surface, but if she had a chance in private, she would do everything in her power to help her.

    And after confirming these two points, it doesn't matter what Hebo's life experience is.

    There is no need for him to find out the truth, because his attitude will not change because of her life experience.

    Of course, the premise of all this is that Heber is friendly to him. If her heart is for Zeus...

    Aphrodite's expression was calm, but there was a cold light in her eyes.

    He lowered his eyebrows, stood up holding Cupid, and said to Artemis, "Is Hermes here?"

    He frowned slightly, a little impatient in his expression.

    Artemis hesitated: "Apollo seems to have returned to the temple, but he hasn't called me yet."

    Aphrodite groaned and asked, "He shouldn't have any secrets, right? Can we go directly?"

    Artemis made a decision for Apollo: "Of course!"

    Artemis folded her hands, and the silver-white moonlight flew out from her folded palms, turning into a vertical beam of light, pouring straight into the temple of Apollo.

    Apollo was talking to Hermes when Artemis' request flew in and circled around him. Apollo's eyes flashed slightly, he stopped talking with Hermes, got up and said lightly: " Wait a moment for me."

    Hermes tilted his head, and his dark blue eyes stared at him suspiciously.

    Apollo ignored him, and took the beautiful harp and left through another hidden side door in the temple.

    When he came back, he was followed by his sister Artemis and Hermes highness Aphrodite, the god of beauty, who made Hermes feel uncomfortable.

    Hermes raised a smile with difficulty, and cursed Apollo in his heart. He thought that it was no wonder that Apollo, who was so handsome, asked him to come to the temple for a party. He thought that Apollo wanted to share his brotherhood with him. It turned out that it was because of His Highness Aphrodite...

    Hermes was very uncomfortable, but the smile on his face was flawless, and the real joy and happiness overflowed from his eyes. , you are also in the temple of His Royal Highness Apollo, I am really happy to see you!"

    Aphrodite "showed" a stereotypical smile, but her eyes were cold: "It's not a coincidence, I was waiting for you on purpose."

    Apollo pulled his sleeve, and when Aphrodite's searching gaze swept over, he "showed" a bright smile and pointed to his throne.

    Aphrodite looked at him for a second, and sat down on his throne, while Apollo and Artemis stood beside him in tacit understanding.

    Hermes stood blankly at the bottom of the steps and looked up at the absolutely "color" god who was served by the two main gods. He was very beautiful, and there was a bright little sun above his head.

    The bright light on his cheeks caused his long and dense eyelashes to leave a shadow on the bottom of his eyes, and also dyed his eyes with a hazy black mist. His expression was cold and dignified, and this indifferent gaze gave people an extremely terrifying pressure, as if the almighty god was indifferently watching the ants struggling in his hands.

    If it wasn't for a young and fresh young god in his arms softening his atmosphere, Hermes would almost be crushed by this scene.

    Hermes raised his heart and suddenly felt a little scary.

    Did Apollo and Artemis know what they were doing? They stood beside Aphrodite in such a submissive gesture...

    They are the same main god as Aphrodite, and they are equal in rank. Even if someone makes them respect and revere, that person can only be the king of gods!

    Hermes was blocked, he thought, if Cronus had not left a curse saying that Zeus's kingship was overthrown by his son, then he would have suspected that Aphrodite would overthrow Zeus's god-king !

    Hermes lowered his head and tried his best not to show a flustered expression, but he unconsciously brought humility in his voice: "My esteemed highness, what is it that you called me for? ?"

    Aphrodite's calm and cold voice came from Fang, and he said, "I want the control of Mercury."

    Hermes wanted to cry without tears: "His Royal Highness, if I give you Mercury, the Mercury will show your lines. If the King of God knows that I am having an affair with you, he will not let me go."

    Aphrodite raised her eyebrows in disbelief. He opened his left hand, and a piece of parchment appeared in his palm, then slowly floated down and stopped in front of Hermes.

    Hermes grabbed the scroll and couldn't help but look up at him. Aphrodite tapped her chin and said lightly, "Let's take a look."

    Hermes had no choice but to open the scroll, which was a transfer of control over the Mercury Divine Pillar, with two spaces left at the bottom.

    Only when Hermes and Aphrodite sign their names on it, this handwriting will officially take effect, and the control of Mercury will be transferred accordingly.

    Aphrodite's voice was a little warmer, and he comforted him: "You sign your name on it, and I won't sign it right away. I'll sign it when I'm sure I can do it. Don't worry, I don't. Will give up on you and make you hated by Zeus."

    Hermes couldn't help but squeeze the parchment tightly, making it wrinkle.

    The handsome male god frowned, as if weighing his thoughts.

    Aphrodite was not in a hurry, and looked at him calmly.

    After a while, Hermes raised his head. He tried his best to look calm, but Aphrodite was still keenly aware of the subtle stiffness of his movements.

    Hermes solemnly reopened the parchment roll, and then laid it flat. Aphrodite's fingers gently scratched on Cupid's little wings, and Cupid moved, feeling a little strange.

    He turned his neck vigorously back, and then saw Aphrodite pinching a feather with two slender fingers, and threw it at Hermes gracefully and lightly.

    Cupid sucked in a breath of cold air, wrapped his hands behind his back and covered his little wings with difficulty, and flew out of Aphrodite's arms.

    With watery eyes, he sniffed, then looked pitifully at Aphrodite and accused Aphrodite: "Father, how did you pluck my feathers!"

    Hermes took the feather "hair" and found that the root of the feather "hair" was very pointed, with thin holes, and a light golden "color" "liquid" was flowing in the feather tube. He quietly raised his eyes and glanced at Aphrodite, and signed his name on the parchment, but Aphrodite ignored him, he was teasing Cupid with a slight smile, and asked: Can't 'Mao' be touched by God Father?"

    Cupid, the little goddess, pursed her pink lips and said with tears in her eyes, "Without the feathers, Cupid will not be pretty..."

    Aphrodite chuckled and beckoned to him, and Cupid looked at him hesitantly.

    Aphrodite raised her eyebrows slightly, and Cupid obediently flew back into his arms.

    Aphrodite's palm lightly rested on his back, and a warm force poured into Cupid's back. After a while, Cupid felt a little itchy under his wings for a few days, and he moved back and forth on Aphrodite's legs restlessly. , muttered: "Father, itchy, you help me scratch."

    Aphrodite's finger accurately pressed the place where Cupid felt uncomfortable, Cupid rubbed it subconsciously, and then, Aphrodite's finger left.

    But Apollo Artemis saw that a pair of small white wings grew out of Cupid's small wings.

    Aphrodite condensed a mirror at random, and then cleverly avoided herself and showed it to Cupid. He asked with a smile, "Well, do you like it if you have an extra pair of small wings?"

    Cupid covered his mouth and looked at the unfamiliar trembling little wings in the mirror, shocked: "!!!"

    After reacting, he immediately grabbed Aphrodite's hand and continued to act coquettishly, and said sweetly, "Father, Cupid still wants a pair of small wings~"

    Aphrodite said warmly, "It doesn't look good with too many wings."

    Cupid slid directly from his legs to his feet, hugging his calf and twisting: "It's going to be going~"

    Aphrodite laughed, carried Cupid into her arms again, and then gestured with her fingers on his back. After finding the right position, he continued to move, helping Cupid grow a new pair of wings.

    Cupid turned towards the mirror with delight, and was almost foolishly "fascinated" by his three pairs of small wings.

    Aphrodite seemed to remember something, patted Cupid on the head lightly, and said to him: "If God Gaia asks you where you absorbed the power of Eros, tell her that you used Wings have grown."

    Cupid nodded with a smile, and winked wildly at Aphrodite: "I know~"

    Hermes, who was ignored by Aphrodite, had already signed his signature, and he couldn't help but "cut in" and said, "Your Highness, I have signed the contract according to your instructions. As long as you are in another empty item of the contract. Sign your name, and Mercury will be yours... Could you listen to me, too?"

    Aphrodite smiled and said, "I will not deprive anyone of the right to speak."

    Hermes cleared his throat and raised his head, the youthful vitality with a bit of impulsive cunning came to his face, and he talked eloquently: "I, Hermes, are from the sacred mountain of Olympus. One of the two main gods, but I am also a slave who is subject to you and loyal to you. I obey all your decisions, even if this decision will make me lose the position of the main god."

    "So when you asked for Mercury, I also readily signed the contract and gave Mercury to you."

    Hermes paused as he spoke, staring at Aphrodite to observe the change in his expression.

    Aphrodite's expression was calm and calm, if it wasn't for the fact that Hermes kept his eyes on Hermes, Hermes almost thought that he didn't listen to what he was saying at all.

    He muttered to himself and continued: "I am so loyal to you, but it cannot be denied that I am a cunning and vile god, which can be seen from my priesthood."

    Hermes felt that Aphrodite didn't know that he was pretending to be good-natured.

    Not directly, because Aphrodite is not a god who will be fooled by him.

    If his expression is too obscure, Aphrodite may simply pretend not to understand. He might as well go straight to the ball and ask Aphrodite for benefits, anyway, what he wants is nothing to Aphrodite.

    "Although most of the gods are friendly with me, we also know each other that when we communicate with me, we must guard against my traps, so as not to be plundered by me."

    "Your Highness, you have my weakness, but my nature is not glorious. Do you think that I will always ask you for something, but never return it, so you don't feel resentful?"

    Aphrodite just looked at him without speaking, as if preparing to wait for Hermes to finish speaking before expressing her opinion.

    Hermes pretended to be calm and said: "I won't, and I will be dissatisfied with you. Especially after the Mercury is passed on to you, the affair between me and you will be discovered by the King of God at any time, and I will also be dissatisfied with you. He may be stripped of the position of the main god by the king of God for offending the king of God, and then be expelled from the Mount of Olympus."

    "In that case, I will have nothing. Although this kind of thing has not happened yet, I am afraid that such a thing will come. Under such mental torture, I may collapse at any time, and then I can't help but talk to the king..."

    "Hermes." Aphrodite cut him off lightly: "I don't think you will collapse, but it is undeniable that you have become impatient and unstable. I don't like being threatened, I think You need to reorganize the next language."

    Hermes was stunned and looked at him blankly. After a while, he took a deep breath and murmured, "Yes, I'm a little impatient, you wait..."

    He raised his hand to block his eyes, and said softly after a second, "I want you to give me a guarantee, so that I can retreat and have scruples. Let me know, even if I am stripped of the throne of God by the king of gods and expelled from the mountain , I also have a place to go. I can continue to have power and status under your protection. In this case, even if the future may not be as good as it is now, I still have concerns and dare not betray you, and will be subject to you forever..."

    The curvature of Aphrodite's lips gradually expanded, and he said softly: "You are so pitiful, I will fulfill your wish. It is not because I want to control your weakness forever, but I want to give You are a place to go, so that your heart will not be restless in the future."

    Hermes pursed his lips, but he was a little unconvinced in his heart. Was Aphrodite fooling him into thinking he was some brainless god? What do you say pity me, in fact, it is because I show weakness in front of you...

    A moving expression appeared on Hermes' face at the right time. He covered his mouth and whispered in a 'moved' way: "Your Highness, your heart is as beautiful as your appearance..." And your expression is the same , like a cold and hard smelly rock.

    Aphrodite looked at him with a half-smile, Hermes bowed his head a little guilty, always feeling that Aphrodite seemed to know what he was thinking. But it shouldn't be possible, Aphrodite can't read minds...

    Thinking of this, Hermes calmed down again.

    Aphrodite doesn't care what he thinks in his heart, and it is already his victory to let a proud god soften his face.

    Aphrodite took out another scroll of parchment, quickly wrote another paragraph on it, then signed her name at the end, and handed the scroll of parchment to Hermes.

    Only then did Hermes remember that he hadn't given the transfer book of Mercury's control to Aphrodite, and hurriedly let go of the transfer book and handed it to Aphrodite.

    Aphrodite's newly written appointment book was also obtained by him, and Aphrodite said lightly: "You should know that I am the Lord of the Underworld, right? This is an official document from the underworld that I wrote. You are appointed and dismissed for the gods of the underworld. As long as you sign on it, you can go to the underworld to ask Hades for an errand at any time. If you are valued by Hades, he will give you a very important and powerful deity. It's not impossible for you to take a job. But these are your own affairs, and it's up to you to work hard, so I won't ask more."

    Hermes happily put away the parchment and asked, "Your Highness, if I have nowhere to go in the future, can I become a god of the underworld?"

    Aphrodite snorted softly: "The underworld is not a good place. Besides, you can take it to the underworld at any time when you don't need it, as long as you can explain the origin of your position to Zeus. Sincerely... If you want to gain an extra share of divine power and make friends with the gods of the underworld, there is no harm in joining the job early. After all, I never intended to let you lose the position of the main god."

    Aphrodite glanced at him lightly, crossed her fingers in her hands, placed her arms in front of her abdomen gracefully, and smiled: "You act very well-behaved, and I appreciate your cleverness in coaxing Zeus with rhetoric."

    Hermes rolled his eyes and smiled.

    After thinking for a while, he looked at Apollo again, groaned for a second, and said, "Speaking of which, Your Highness, do you know that Goddess Hera just gave birth to a goddess?"

    Aphrodite frowned: "Huh?"

    Hermes said: "When Brother Apollo came to find me, I was serving the king of gods. He was a little surprised when my brother Apollo and I had such a good relationship, so he stayed with us for a long time. Until the god Hera was born A goddess, he left in a hurry, and I can come to his temple with my brother to see you."

    Aphrodite didn't seem to care about Hera's goddess, she just said indifferently: "No wonder I waited for you so long."

    Hermes scratched his head, showing a tangled look, and looked at Apollo again.

    Artemis said impatiently: "Hermes, did you hide something from Apollo?"

    Aphrodite's eyes sank a little, and Cupid lay on Aphrodite's lap and swept the two with a gaze like a thief.

    Apollo had no choice but to say: "It's not that I wanted to hide from you, but this is a bit ridiculous..."

    He said: "Because the Queen of Hera was pregnant after leaving you, although the Queen of Hera swore that she was not infidel, but many gods always felt that the Queen of Hera might protect her Lived yourself, but you did something disrespectful while she was sleeping..."

    Aphrodite's face was sinking like water, Apollo subconsciously fiddled with the strings, excreted some of his subtle emotions through the sound of the piano, and the voice slowly calmed down, he said: "Of course, this is just some idle time before. It's nothing but a guess by the gods. But what's a little troublesome is that the clergy of this new goddess seems to be irrelevant to you, but there are some subtle overlaps."

    "For example, youth seems to have nothing to do with life, but if the goddess of youth wants to give someone eternal youth, she must also give someone a strong life. After all, if the inside is rotten, the outside will not be glamorous."

    "And beauty, although your definition of beauty is very broad, in the eyes of the gods, everyone only looks at the beauty of appearance.

    Those who are youthful do not necessarily have beauty, but those who are beautiful must remain youthful and have flawless skin. In everyone's eyes, youth and beauty go hand in hand..."

    Aphrodite hummed and asked, "So, some people think Hebe is my illegitimate daughter, right?"

    Artemis looked at Apollo anxiously, Hermes lowered his head and stared at his toes, Apollo thought for a while, and then said: "I don't think she is, even if she is, it must be an accident, You're not one of those despicable gods who would plot against a frivolous goddess."

    Aphrodite showed a smile, and he said lightly: "Unfortunately, not everyone thinks that you will believe me like this. Heber is my illegitimate daughter, right?"

    Cupid clenched the corner of Aphrodite's clothes, his face wrinkled, and worried: "Father, do I have a sister?"

    Aphrodite bent down, pinched his cheek, and sighed softly: "With the appearance of a little guy like you, even if you have a younger sister, you should call your younger sister elder sister, otherwise it will look very strange."

    Cupid suddenly widened his eyes and stared at him with an exaggerated mouth.

    Apollo gave Aphrodite an idea and said, "Your Highness, when Hera was pregnant and was suspected of infidelity by the king, she swore to prove herself, and you can do the same."

    Aphrodite shook her head with a smile, and said easily: "I didn't do it originally, why should I prove myself for other people's doubts? Hera had to be submissive because her position as the queen of gods was controlled by Zeus. And I... Oh, is anyone worthy of my explanation?"

    The three gods are dumbfounded, thinking about it, it seems to be the same, not to mention that Aphrodite didn't do such a thing, even if he really did it, with his strength and status, what can Zeus do to him?

    Since this matter can't cause any damage to him, why should he rush to explain it and let others see jokes?

    Aphrodite pondered: "Alas, it's better to leave this kind of romantic affair to Zeus, who is better at it."

    Apollo and Artemis looked at each other with a dazed look on their faces.

    Aphrodite asked: "Do you think that Zeus would care about his wife's fornication with others, and then be dissatisfied with it and block the rumors?"

    Artemis Ne said: "Don't care, otherwise he must have blocked it directly before."

    "Too."

    Aphrodite rolled her eyes, thinking of Poseidon who had nothing to do after he came to the mountain, and thoughtfully said: "Then add a premise, for example, his wife is very dissatisfied with some of his abilities, so he There will be things like that.”

    Aphrodite's brows and eyes curled into a smile, and a cold and stern light flashed in her eyes.

    If Zeus was all right, he probably wouldn't care about this rumor either. But his egg was really lost by Eurynomor...

    Feeling angry and guilty, he will probably explode.

    The sooner the better, Zeus will want to prove more than anyone else that Hera is not dissatisfied with him in any way, nor has he cheated on him, and is pregnant with the daughter of another god.

    Heber, even if he was gritting his teeth and swallowing blood, he had to recognize her.
