Chapter 302: Night of Revelry
Chapter 302: Night of Revelry
The gods' cries of "Minova!" abruptly ceased. Minova had already stepped towards Thor. She smiled at Marcus, then gently took Thor's hand. Thor was overjoyed, embracing Minova tightly and spinning her around three times. Marcus, the god of war, quietly withdrew.
The giants who had been waiting around the city walls blew their horns again, and a long blast proclaimed the union of Thor and Minotaur.
The Plaza of the Gods suddenly fell silent as everyone looked around, anticipating the next performance.
Sure enough, Mohley walked to the center of the square, stopped, surveyed his surroundings, and roared, "Osta!"
Osta moved with light steps and then flew to Mehrli, standing in front of him and waiting for Mehrli's rival. The gods, seeing Osta's appearance, naturally knew that Osta was willing, but according to the rules, the two had to stand for five minutes.
From the crowd, the melody god Bess stepped forward, startling all the gods, even Kalis. Bess rarely interacted with the goddesses due to her appearance, so it was surprising that she was fond of Osta. However, to the gods' astonishment, another powerful god emerged from the crowd—the god of fire. It seemed Osta possessed considerable charm.
When Beth saw Vulcan also come out, the two exchanged a glance and then smiled at each other. Without saying a word, they walked side by side to Mohli and Osta, standing next to Mohli and awaiting Osta's judgment.
Osta was also taken aback, smiled at Beth and Vulcan, then walked straight to Mohrli and took his hand. Mohrli was delighted and spun Osta around four times. Beth and Vulcan also quietly withdrew, just like the God of War Marcus.
The giant sounded his horn again, a long blast proclaiming the union of Mehrli and Osta.
Based on the number of times Thor and Morpheus spun around with the beauty, Zhou Yuan deduced that the number of spuns should correspond to the number of people in the center of the square.
At this moment, a goddess walked to the center of the square, and the crowd couldn't help but shout "Hehehehe!" like a demonstration before a major battle, their shouts instantly stirring up the atmosphere. This goddess was a minor deity; although relatively short, she had a dignified and beautiful appearance.
"Donis!" The goddess's voice was melodious and high-pitched, like a nightingale singing in the green willows.
A tall, handsome, and imposing man stepped out from the crowd and walked quietly to the goddess. The two remained silent.
This time, what made all the male gods envious was that seven women actually walked out from the crowd, including two female elves!
Five women and two female elves, all beautiful as flowers, stood in a row, their eyes filled with longing.
Donis glanced around quickly, bowed to the eight women, and then... then he actually left the center of the square!
The eight women exchanged glances, but they all knew this didn't mean Donis disliked any of them. Perhaps Donis was still choosing, or perhaps he didn't want to get married so soon. Of course, the worst-case scenario was that Donis disliked all eight of them. The eight women quietly withdrew. This time, the giant's trombone did not sound.
Next, two giants and three elves took turns entering the stage, and all five found partners. Each trombone note proclaimed their union.
When the last trombone call ended, the center of the square was empty. Everyone looked around to see if anyone was heading to the center, but after three minutes, no one came up.
Zhou Yuan felt that Carlisle's hand, which was holding his, was trembling slightly and was also a little cold.
Zhou Yuan turned his head to look at Kalis. There seemed to be a kind of longing in Kalis's eyes. When Zhou Yuan met Kalis's gaze, he was shocked. He was a smart man. He remembered Kalis's statement that "anything belonging to the Asgardian realm is acceptable," and he also remembered Kalis bestowing upon him the title of "God." Naturally, he was shocked.
Zhou Yuan turned around and touched the back of Carlisle's hand, which was holding his, with his right hand. Carlisle immediately felt a warmth. "Carlisle, wait a moment, see you later."
After saying that, Zhou Yuan released Carlisle's hand and strode towards the center of the Pantheon.
The gods were stunned when they saw Zhou Yuan walking towards the center of the square.
As Zhou Yuan walked, he nodded and smiled at the people around him, then stopped in the center of the square, turned his back, and shouted powerfully in the direction of Kalis, "Kalis!"
Zhou Yuan's shout shook the heavens, and everyone felt the long echoes of "Kalis," "Kalis," "Kalis" reverberating through the valley...
Carlisle was overjoyed, but she suppressed her excitement and slowly and gracefully walked out of the crowd, stepping towards the center of the square. The "starry crown" on her head reflected the moonlight, making it look like twinkling stars. Carlisle, like a fairy descending to earth, walked affectionately to Zhou Yuan, her face slightly flushed and her eyes filled with tenderness.
Carlisle stood opposite Zhou Yuan, their eyes locked, neither saying a word. According to the rules, they had to stand there for a full five minutes.
Whispers and murmurs began to ripple through the Plaza of the Gods. Zhou Yuan knew that his open declaration of love to their God-King, Kalis, as a human from another world, would naturally shock them.
After a burst of noise, the square fell silent.
"Kalis, is this okay?" Zhou Yuan began to communicate with Kalis using the mental link.
Kalis was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "I can only blame my brain. The Asgardian Realm is about to undergo a major change." Kalis smiled at Zhou Yuan.
"Alright. I hope the gods won't blame me."
Carlisle seemed to find Zhou Yuan's words rather strange, so she stared at him with wide eyes, and Zhou Yuan smiled slightly.
Suddenly, a majestic roar erupted from the Plaza of the Gods, seemingly cheering on the two. Kalis, seemingly impatient, abruptly reached out and grabbed Zhou Yuan's hand. Zhou Yuan picked her up and spun her around twice. Finally, the giant's long horn sounded, announcing the union of Kalis and Zhou Yuan.
Carlisle pulled Zhou Yuan's hand and quickly retreated from the center of the square. Zhou Yuan observed the expressions of the people around him and Carlisle and, seeing nothing unusual, felt relieved. It seemed that in their eyes, this was how a night of revelry should be.
Carlisle pulled Zhou Yuan away from the crowd and headed directly towards the Pantheon.
Moonlight spread across the road, and Zhou Yuan felt that the Pantheon had a milky white halo.
"Carlisle, where are we going?"
Carliss did not respond, but walked briskly with Zhou Yuan.
Kalis led Zhou Yuan around the Pantheon and to the back of it. At this time, the lively sounds in the Pantheon Square gradually faded away.
This was Zhou Yuan's first time venturing behind the Temple of Gods. Kalis suddenly slammed on the brakes, startling Zhou Yuan, who saw a towering cliff ahead. The Temple of Gods was built atop a sheer precipice. Looking closer, Zhou Yuan spotted a patch of starlight in the distance; he knew it was the habitat of the giant and elven legions.
Just as Zhou Yuan was gazing into the distance, Kalis suddenly leaped downwards, plunging off the cliff. "Kalis!"
Zhou Yuan shouted and reached out to grab Kalis, but couldn't reach her. Without thinking, Zhou Yuan also leaped off the cliff.
Seeing Kalis's body slowly descend while suspended in the air, Zhou Yuan felt reassured. He controlled his own body and quickly descended, hovering face to face with Kalis.
"Carlisle, what are you doing? You really scared me just now."
Carliss didn't say anything, just smiled, and suddenly moved closer to Zhou Yuan and hugged him.
Carlis released the pent-up passion she had suppressed for over three years, kissing Zhou Yuan passionately, leaving him breathless.
The two descended slowly, and it took a while before Caris let go.
Carlisle looked at the cliff. "We're almost there."
Zhou Yuan was completely baffled. This place was surrounded by cliffs and precipices; where could the two of them go?
Carliss pointed downwards, and Zhou Yuan and Carliss continued to descend. Sure enough, they saw a relatively large opening in the cliff below.
Carlisle and Zhou Yuan held hands and moved forward, bending down to stand on the rock at the cave entrance. Then they walked forward, one after the other, their backs bent. Although the cave was dark, the two were extraordinary. They continued to walk forward, bending down, into the cave. After about three or four minutes, the cave suddenly became brighter, and the two straightened up and began to explore inside.
Carlis seemed very familiar with the cave. She took Zhou Yuan's hand and led him around several corners, turning right and left, for five or six minutes before stopping.
At this moment, Zhou Yuan could no longer see anything, nor could Carlisle; they were simply holding hands.
Carlisle released her hand, and then a faint point of light appeared, gradually growing brighter.
Zhou Yuan saw Kalis crouching down, starting a fire. By the firelight, he was stunned. The place was surprisingly different; there was a bed, a table, and a stool. Kalis's sword and shield were placed beside the table, and there were tadpole-like characters carved on the walls. Several pieces of clothing were on the stool; Zhou Yuan knew they were Kalis's clothes. Turning around, he saw a circular opening behind him. Outside this opening was another tunnel, though the light was poor, and he couldn't see very far. Had Kalis actually dug a very long tunnel beneath the Temple of the Gods?
Zhou Yuan turned to look at Kalis, puzzled. The crown on Kalis's head and the bracelets on her wrists were gone; they had been placed on the table. Kalis was also looking at Zhou Yuan with affection.
A surge of passion coursed through Zhou Yuan. He unsheathed his sword, placed the Azure Dragon Sword and Kalis's sword together, and then walked towards Kalis. The two were like fire meeting dry wood, instantly becoming inseparable, as if glued together.
Zhou Yuan held Carlisle in his arms and placed her on the bed. The two became engrossed in their intimacy, when a startled cry of pain rang out shortly afterward.
Carlisle seemed to want to make up for what she had missed with Zhou Yuan over the past four years, and also seemed to be worried that Zhou Yuan might not come back tomorrow, so she made a strong and proactive request, which was quite crazy.
After more than two hours of fussing, Carlisle finally fell asleep on Zhou Yuan's body.
Zhou Yuan touched his left index finger, and the ring appeared, showing the time was 11:30 PM. Worried about being late, Zhou Yuan set an alarm and then turned off the ring.
Zhou Yuan looked at the sleeping Kalis beside him, stroking her long golden hair and then her face. Kalis's even breathing was as sweet as orchids, and she exuded a faint, alluring fragrance that captivated Zhou Yuan, who quickly drifted off to sleep.
"Zhou Yuan, save me, save me!" A nightmare of Kalis woke Zhou Yuan up.
Zhou Yuan saw that Carlis had a terrifying expression on her face. Although her eyes were closed, her hands and legs were trembling uncontrollably.
"Kalis, what's wrong?" Zhou Yuan reached out and gently stroked Kalis's face. Kalis suddenly opened her eyes, saw that it was Zhou Yuan, and suddenly rolled over, pinning Zhou Yuan down, pressing her body tightly against his, and sealing his mouth with hers.
The storm subsided, but Carlisle was still panting.
Zhou Yuan stroked Carlisle's body, "What happened just now? Did you have a nightmare?"
"Yes, the demon has come, but you have disappeared."
"A demon? What does it look like?"
“I dreamt of legions of giants and elves, as well as wild beasts and birds, attacking the temple of the gods.”
Zhou Yuan was stunned. The giant legion and the elven legion—would they betray us?
“Carlisle, this is impossible.”
“I was just imagining things,” Carlisle said, convinced it was impossible. “It’s late, let’s go to sleep.” With that, Carlisle got out of bed and extinguished the campfire. The two then became intimate again before falling asleep.
