Chapter 285: 199 Chapter The Unbearable Weight of a Lolita (6.8k completed today)_2
That's right, this is the feeling!
Awesome!
An inexplicable sense of relief made the cheeks of the two little girls flush with excitement, and they couldn't help but tiptoe again, stepping a few times on the humanoid figure lying motionless on the ground.
"You, two!"
Instantly, the humanoid figure beneath their feet climbed out of the broken wooden planks of the floorboard, its teeth clacking, and its sinister tone seemed to freeze the air around it with ice chips.
Oh no!
With their vigilance maxed out, Stheno and Euryale saw Luo En's face as black as the bottom of a pot and realized something was wrong, so they turned around and ran.
"Stop right there, I'll kill you!"
However, with the delightful experience completely ruined, Luo En could no longer bear it, leaped up from the ground, and, despite the ache in his body, chased after the two mischeivious Medusas all around the yard.
Seeing Luo En genuinely angry behind them, Stheno and Euryale ran while looking back and spoke in their defense,
"Why are you chasing us? It was you who let us step on you, and you felt really comfortable when Nike did it, right?"
"Are these the same? That was a massage, you are committing murder! And suddenly taking a leap to speed up? You two stop, I promise I won't kill you!"
Veins pulsed on Luo En's forehead, and under his skin, the bluish-black blood vessels writhed like earthworms, his eyes nearly shooting fire.
However, Stheno and Euryale were not foolish; they knew they were in for another whipping if they fell into this guy's clutches, so they kept running with glee.
Three figures, one big and two small, chased and fled, knocking over a multitude of bottles, jars, and furniture along the way, turning the entire yard into chaos.
As these two groups harassed the poor house, another round of knocking came from outside the door.
All three of them shivered at once.
Luo En quickly fixed the bed and dove under the covers, while Stheno and Euryale swiftly set the overturned items in the courtyard and the house straight, then one picked up a bottle of medicine and one picked up a pastry, posing as if ready to serve attentively.
As Nike, who was pushed to the side, opened the door, a tall purple figure walked in, and the three instantly relaxed their tense nerves, letting out a long breath.
"Medusa? It's you, you scared us to death."
Stheno and Euryale gave their little sister a white look, their eyes showing reproach.
They thought it was Hestia returning to beat someone up.
"Are you all here?"
Medusa glanced at the three inside the room, her gaze falling on the medicine bottle and food in their hands, and discreetly pulled back her hand holding a basket, casually speaking.
"It's nothing, I was just passing by for a visit, you go on with your..."
As she turned to leave with an excuse, Medusa couldn't hide the slight disappointment on her face.
"Wait, you came at the right time, here's your stuff!"
Yet, before Medusa could step out of the room, Stheno and Euryale rushed up and shoved the medicine bottle and pastry into her hands without discussion.
Having just seriously offended the guy inside, they dared not stay any longer.
For the sake of their own snake skins, it was more important to run.
And to completely remove their sister's worries, Stheno and Euryale unceremoniously grabbed Nike, who was drooling over the treats.
"Nike, let's go!"
"But the master said..."
The little girl remembered Athena's instructions and couldn't help but hesitate.
Stheno and Euryale exchanged a look, then spoke nonchalantly.
"Speaking of which, isn't there a dessert shop with a good taste down the mountain?"
"Yeah, not only does it taste super good, but they also give you a cup of honey water with every box..."
"I want to go!"
Suddenly, before they could finish, the salivating Nike completely succumbed, eagerly taking her two close sisters by the hand and dashing down War God Mountain.
A moment later, the silent room was left with only two opposing figures.
After a brief silence, Luo En smiled slightly and took the initiative to speak.
"You've grown up, Anna."
"Hmm..."
Hearing that familiar address, a nostalgic smile appeared on Medusa's face, her cold expression melting away as she finally mustered the courage to step into the bedroom.
Approaching the bed, the purple-haired goddess set aside the medicine bottle she had just taken and brought out an even more delicately carved wooden box. As she opened the lid, revealing the dark red ointment with a rich medicinal fragrance inside, she explained softly.
"Knowing you were hurt, I specially went to ask Doctor Asclepius from the Academy of Athens to mix some ointment."
Smelling the faintly familiar bloodiness in it, Luo En sighed.
He didn't need to think to know the ingredients of this ointment.
This girl hasn't changed at all, no matter how much she grew up.
—Whenever she wanted to do something good for someone, she never spared any expense.
But in the end, Luo En didn't speak out any words of blame, just showed a faint smile.
"Perfect, help me test the efficacy of the medicine."
"Okay!"
Medusa nodded vigorously, scooped out a portion of the dark-red ointment, and carefully applied it to Luo En's bruises and swellings.
A smile of genuine happiness blossomed on that cold face, radiating satisfaction and comfort.
~~
Meanwhile, outside.
Stheno and Euryale, perched on the wall with their rectangular-pupiled magic eyes wide, gazed into the distance, taking in Medusa's performance and the situation between the two inside the house, feeling utterly bored with the pureness of the plot, more insipid than plain water.

Is this it?
Muttering to themselves, Euryale was the first to grumble in dissatisfaction.
