On the second day, Mallory began to arrange for someone to copy the magic books, and Locke also entered practice completely.
On the fourth day, Sleipnir lay on the lawn, feeling bored and dispirited. Leaning against the small rockery, he looked very strange.
“Can’t you just change into some better clothes?” He raised his head and looked at Thanatos’s tattered clothes. Sleipnir said, “You are a god after all, aren’t you? You are so poor that you can’t even afford clothes?”
With a scornful sneer, Thanatos looked at Sleipnir arrogantly and said, “Don’t you think this dress is more intimidating?”
Sleipnir: “…”
When Sleipnir was speechless, a beautiful figure slowly walked towards them. At this moment, time seemed to slow down indefinitely. The soft and warm sunlight shone over the figure’s head, making the figure seem to emit divine radiance, making people feel worship.
With a closer look, he saw something on her white and slender fingers.
At the sight of the figure, Sleipnir’s eyes became dull, mixed with a trace of fear. Even Thanatos, who had always been cold, swallowed subconsciously.
“Come on, have a try.”
Her cold voice woke up Sleipnir and Thanatos.
Sleipnir forced a smile and said, “Athena, I’ve gained some weight after eating so much meat recently. How about I stop eating today?”
However, Athena just looked at it without saying anything.
Well, it seemed that it really couldn’t escape. Seeing Athena nod her head, Sleipnir took a deep breath. As if it had made up its mind, it stretched out its stiff hoof and patted it gently. The steak on the plate flew up by itself.
Looking at the two pieces of burnt steak on the plate, Thanatos also felt bad.
Under Athena’s gaze, Sleipnir closed its eyes and took a small bite.
Sleipnir’s mouth was visibly stiff for a moment, but soon returned to normal. It chewed and laughed, “Athena, your cooking is really good. It’s definitely a master of cooking. It’s my honor to eat the steak you cook!”
Hearing Sleipnir’s praise, Athena’s face softened.
Looking at Sleipnir who was flattering her, Thanatos couldn’t help cursing in his heart. This stupid horse, could you be more spineless?
As for Sleipnir, it had already ignored the disdainful look in Thanatos’s eyes and continued to eat with relish.
At this time, Athena’s eyes moved slightly and fell on the man in front of her.
Seeing that Athena was looking at him, Thanatos stiffened and seemed to accept his fate. But he waved his hand and pulled up steak from the plate with great force.
Thanatos slowly put the steak into his mouth.
As soon as Thanatos ate the steak, a bitter and scorching smell instantly filled his nostrils. It was too bad.
When he was holding his breath and enduring the food in his mouth, he seemed to see something and his body stiffened again. In less than a minute, Sleipnir ate up the palm-sized steak. What made him even more speechless was that after eating, Sleipnir even put on an expression of unsatisfied.
“Taste…”
Seeing that Athena was looking at him with a questioning look, Thanatos paused for a moment and then looked at Sleipnir, who was enjoying the food beside him. He forced a smile on his originally cold face and said, “Not bad, or even very delicious!”
Hearing that, Athena nodded with satisfaction and went into the kitchen again with the plate.
Ahem! Ahem!
When Athena left, Sleipnir, who had been enjoying the moment before, suddenly coughed violently. It seemed that it was going to cough out the trachea. As he coughed, he quickly ran to the small pool aside and gulped down a few mouthfuls of water. After drinking the water, it looked better and slowly walked back to its original position.
Puff!
Sleipnir turned around and collapsed on the lawn. On the other side, the look on its face darkened. It took a deep breath, suppressed nausea, and weakly leaned against the stone.
“When will Locke finish practice?” Looking at Locke’s practice place, Sleipnir said with a bitter face. Since Locke began to cultivate in seclusion and start practice, Athena seemed to be obsessed with cooking.
It had been three days since Locke started his cultivation in seclusion. What’s more, in the past three days, Athena hadn’t improved her cooking skills at all!
It was simply dark cuisine!
“It seems that I’m not suitable for cooking.” Athena said dejectedly in the kitchen. She knew everything about Sleipnir and Thanatos.
In a room on the third floor of the villa.
Locke’s eyes were closed, and his legs were suspended in a ball of purple energy.
Suddenly, the balance of the purple energy was destroyed and began to tremble slightly. At the same time, a strong force emerged from Locke’s body.
The seven stars in Locke’s body were constantly flashing, and the first six complete stars burst out a dazzling purple light. After that, they projected six energy laser beams, shooting at the seventh star with weaker light. The seventh star that received the new energy also burst out a strong light.
Soon, the purple energy surrounding the seventh star began to shrink, and finally all poured into the seventh star.
The energy in the room had also reached its peak. Surging purple divine power went through the room, and even formed a hurricane, blowing the curtains. Although the energy in the room was rampant, it was all blocked back by a purple light curtain. This was the protection array set up by Athena. It could prevent Locke from being disturbed, and at the same time, it could prevent too much noise from Locke’s breakthrough.
More than ten minutes later, the energy riot in the house gradually returned to peace.
