After being sacrificed to Eros [Greek mythology]

The voice of the queen of the underworld is still gentle and intellectual, like a lubricant, dispelling the solemnity in the air.

Only then did Psyche dare to show his head from Cupid's arms.

...She had just escaped from the underworld, and the Hades and the Queen of the Hades came to find something to do?

She and Cupid looked at each other, both feeling bad.

Cupid coughed lightly, and patted Psyche on the shoulder, signaling her not to worry too much.

There are only a few gods of Olympus who come and go, and he and Persephone can be regarded as old acquaintances.

"Pluto, Queen of Hades."

Cupid slightly bowed his knees and called out politely.

Hades squinted his eyes, and his dark face concealed his impatience.

"Cupid, I finally see you again."

Cupid blinked blankly, a smile froze on the corners of his lips.

Hades greeted with a gun and a stick, half mocking, his expression was extremely cold, full of anger, as if he was about to fight in the next second.

This violent god with destructive energy... Cupid can't afford to mess with him.

Persephone glanced at Hades resentfully, beckoning him not to be so rude.

Hades can't control that much.

"Back then you teased me and caused me to be tortured every day. Today, I and my wife came to settle accounts with you!"

As he spoke, he lifted his chin proudly, clasped Persephone's waist, and took a step forward, "Are you ready to accept the king's punishment?"

Psyche looked at Cupid in bewilderment.

"Have you ever teased Pluto?"

Cupid frowned aggrievedly.

Teasing...he didn't.

He admitted that he had indeed teased many people with this pair of golden lead arrows, but he swears by the River Styx that he only gave Hades a gift because he saw the beauty of Hades and Persephone. A golden arrow, trying to bridge the gap between the two.

Now you don't need to think about it, Pluto is here to settle old scores.

Hades has a strong aura, and every word he spits out is like a bloody knife, which makes people shudder.

Cupid stroked his forehead dejectedly, and whispered to Psyche, "Don't mention it, that's a stupid thing I did when I was young..."

The atmosphere was a little stagnant.

Persephone tugged at the man beside her, "Hades, you promise me you won't be angry."

After being pulled by her like this, Hades swallowed the nail-like questioning, and lowered his head holding back his temper.

"Honey, don't you want to live in the underworld? It's all caused by this kid. Let's crush him now and let you out."

Persephone's curled eyelashes lowered down, "But my dear, I don't like your rude appearance."

Hades was troubled for a moment.

Then he coaxed her, "Don't worry about Persephone, you don't like bloody scenes, I'll take this kid outside and fight him in the dark..."

Cupid listened, trying to be polite, keeping his perfect expression unbroken.

"Respected Pluto Hades, please stay calm..."

He tried to intervene, but found that he couldn't get in at all.

The two talked to each other, completely immersed in their own two-person world.

Hades is so aggressive, he should be dissatisfied with this marriage, so he asked him to settle the score.

But in the current scene... what is the point of Hades asking him to settle accounts?

Doesn't this man really love his wife?

Psyche whispered something in Cupid's ear, "Pluto is an absolute protector of his wife. It must be because you thought you were throwing golden arrows randomly, which led him to rob Hades, which in turn caused Hades to be separated from her mother, causing Hades to die. Sad every day. In the final analysis, you are the culprit.”

Cupid had a faint smile on his face, a little skeptical about life, "Is that so?"

Psyche almost burst out laughing when he saw the expression on his face that was ready to cry.

Here Persephone talked to Hades for a long time, but found that it didn't make sense at all.

With exhaustion and helplessness on her face, she said softly, "Honey, don't you have a lot of business to deal with? Why don't you go back first, and I will talk to Cupid alone."

Hudderston immediately refused.

He knew that Persephone was trying to distract him.

In fact, he declared war on Cupid just now, which really meant to shift the focus a bit.

Persephone wants to ask Cupid for a lead arrow to end her love with herself.

He was unwilling in every way, and he couldn't let her succeed.

Hades was as stubborn as a rock. Before he missed the golden arrow, his temper was always unpredictable. Now that he was hit by the golden arrow, he became more paranoid.

Cupid apologized, "Your Majesty Pluto, regarding the matter of that golden arrow...it's really because I was too young to do anything wrong, and I made a mistake. I offended you, and I apologize again."

Cupid's words may not be entirely polite.

In the past, he used to match wires and build bridges freely and freely, as he wished, and even sent golden arrows and lead arrows as he wished.

Now that he himself has been hit by the golden arrow, he has also tasted the heart-wrenching pain of love, and he no longer dares to act recklessly, and his strikes are much more prudent than before.

But Hades snorted coldly and did not accept Cupid's apology.

The situation once again reached an impasse.

At this moment, Psyche tentatively said, "Otherwise, I will accompany His Highness Pluto for a walk?"

She was mainly thinking of Persephone's kindness to her, thinking that Persephone must have something important to say to Cupid, so she took the initiative to stand up and wanted to send Pluto away.

But as soon as I said that, I regretted it.

She is just an ordinary little girl, how can He De take away this god of death?

Cupid's eyes were also dubious, as if he was saying to her: Honey, can you do it?

So these four people were abruptly divided into two groups.

Hades was temporarily appointed by Persephone as the "Ambassador of the Underworld" and took Psyche, who had just arrived, to enjoy the scenery near the River Styx.

It took Persephone a lot of effort to convince him, and his words were exhausted.

Watching the figure of Hades gradually go away, Persephone threw out the intention of coming.

"Dear Eros, I hope you can help me stop this wrong relationship between Hades and me, and let me go back to my mother. If I get what I want, Persephone will be grateful do."

Cupid crossed his hands, leaned against the tree trunk, and said nothing for a long time.

He was ashamed of Persephone.

She was robbed and left her hometown, and he was indeed partly responsible.

Cupid was noncommittal, and only reminded her kindly, "Dear Spring God, I understand everything you said. It's just... are you really determined to do this?"

Fiery love can still be extinguished with hatred, but if two people really hate each other, the love can no longer be redeemed.

Persephone looked mournful, as if she was in some kind of pain.

However, her words were still firm, "Yes, I have wanted to do this for a long time. Moreover, I have already made an agreement with Hades in advance, and I hope you can help us."

Cupid frowned and looked at this beautiful and intellectual goddess.

She has always been stable, unlike Psyche's clingy childishness, she can say that, she thinks she has a plan in mind.

Either way.

"I respect your will."

Cupid felt slightly regretful, "However, with Pluto's temper, it might be difficult for me to personally send the lead arrow to him."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a gray lead arrow appeared from the air.

The lead arrow lightly rubbed against the bow, which meant that the lead arrow had been sent out.

"I will give you this lead arrow, and you can choose to poke into Hades' heart at any time. After that, you will be strangers who love each other and hate each other."

Cupid frowned slightly, and handed the lead arrow to Persephone's hand.

"I hope that my meager strength can sweep away your worries."

……

The Styx River is surrounded by a tragic mist that lasts for thousands of years. The plants are bare, and the air is covered with a layer of wet dew. There is really no "view" to see.

Especially with such a god of death by his side.

With the mentality of completing the task, Psyche and Hades walked up and down the river Styx relatively silently.

...just to buy time for Persephone.

Hades is like a walking grave, with a cold and solid wall erected around it, and wherever it goes, it is dark.

And he is very solemn and unsmiling.

Psyche would get goose bumps every time he got close to Hades.

She suddenly felt that Cupid was indeed quite easy-going.

"You, are you tired?"

Psyche murmured softly, summoned up his courage and started looking for something to say, "...Do you want to sit down and rest?"

This question is naturally quite stupid.

The concept of being tired is only relative to ordinary people. Hades has never slept since the day he was born.

Sure enough, like stone sinking into the sea, no reply was received.

Psyche bit his lips, thinking that he should stop talking nonsense and disturbing people.

Just when he was speechless, a slowly wriggling viper stared at the delicate and white ankle of the girl, and when it was about to open its vicious fangs and bite down - it was cut in two by Hades in time.

Psyche was still in shock, and there was still some poisonous snake mucus on his ankle.

"Thank you!"

Hades showed no expression, "Don't step on those weeds, these things are often hidden in the weeds."

Psyche gasped for another long time before he recovered his senses, glanced at the viper that had been broken in two, and still felt lingering fear in his heart.

"I still have to thank you, otherwise... I might be dragged to Hades by your men."

It is undeniable that Hades is a person who is cold on the outside and warm on the inside. After hearing such thanks, although his face is indifferent, his eyes are full of pride and affirmation.

Psyche tried to open his mouth, "Actually, you are a pretty good person."

...just not good at expressing it.

If only Cupid could give him half of his ramblings.

Hades was silent for a while, then asked in a deep voice, "Really?"

Psyche nodded sincerely.

Hades held back his resentment, "Then why are there women who don't like me to death?"

Psyche rubbed his forehead.

This is about Persephone.

"You have to know that even if you are a perfect person, even if you are the god of love and beauty, not everyone will like you. Everyone cares about different things."

"Then what does she care about?"

Psyche pursed his lips.

What does Persephone care about, how does she know.

Psyche thought for a moment, and only said, "I think the Empress Dowager cares more about family affection."

Persephone is gentle and kind, and looks young.

No one likes to live in the grave at the best age, out of the light of day, and be separated from a loving mother.

Hades froze for a moment, thoughtful.

After a long while, he said with emotion, "Son, tell me the truth, is the underworld really scary?"

Psyche bared his teeth.

It stands to reason that it would be rude to directly say that the underworld is scary, but since Hades wanted to hear the truth, she had no choice but to speak out.

"For a young girl, maybe a little bit scary."

...Anyway, she was afraid of death.

Persephone's home is on the holy mountain of Olympus, and since she was a child, she probably hasn't even been in contact with the night.

Suddenly being robbed to the underworld must be extremely reluctant.

In such a distorted relationship, naturally he would not have feelings for Hades.

Hades fell silent again.

His face turned black and purple for a while, as if he was full of thoughts, he sighed several times.

Since he was the one who was shot first by Cupid's golden arrow, he was destined to be the passive one.

"Son, thank you."

Hades said vaguely.

He has lived for such a long time, but he is not as transparent as a little girl.

Psyche smiled.

"Since she doesn't like the lifeless underworld, I'll build a paradise comparable to Olympus and give it to her."

Hades spat out a series of words that Psyche could not understand, all of which seemed to be related to the underworld.

After listening for a while, Psyche could only hear the strange name "Elysee".

But she didn't ask in detail.

Left But this is a matter between Hades and Persephone. It’s good for them to figure it out for themselves. The most important thing is that they figure it out for themselves.

……

Before leaving, Hades gave Psyche a small gift for the first time—a small stone box, as a reward for her help.

However, like the beauty of the Empress Dowager, it cannot be opened until the critical moment.

The original words of Hades are: "It can send the wicked to hell, and it can also send the innocent and good to heaven."

Psyche cherished this gift from the god of death very much.

She had a vague premonition that this small box would help her a lot in the future.

A black mist passed by, and Hades and Queen Hades got what they wanted and went back underground.

Cupid leaned against the laurel tree, looked at such a thin Psyche, and couldn't help but marvel.

"What did you tell Hades?"

...Can such a god who was about to fight and kill just now suddenly change his temperament?

Psyche enjoyed his questioning and puzzled gaze.

She raised her eyebrows and quietly walked past him.

The fingers scraped his face affectionately by the way, "I want to go."
