Chapter Twenty-Eight: See Your Little Tail
Of course, there was no one in the wooden house, because in the morning Thetis had already taken Su Muran home.
Artemis only felt that his mood was suddenly much more irritable, disappointed, angry, the feeling was really indescribable, and he shook his head, squeezing all kinds of complicated thoughts out of his mind.
"Why are you so annoying!" Artemis fell down with her head in her hands, she suddenly felt that this kind of thing was really boring, and she was so excited that she was dressed up today.
Artemis felt that he would go crazy if he stayed another night, so he reached out and summoned a dark cloud and snuck himself home. Yes, she chose to skip work.
So tonight the clouds covered the sky, and the moon was not visible.
......
Winter in Milmidon has arrived.
In less than two months, the weather has been cold since the food matter was dealt with, and even three or two light snows have fallen in the past few days.
Su Muran was very happy, because in his previous life, he was a southerner, and he had no chance to see snow at all, and now he can see snow here, which can be regarded as making up for the regret of his previous life.
Since the last time Su Muran was slapped by Thetis and couldn't get out of bed for three days, Thetis has relaxed a lot towards him, maybe because of guilt, at least she won't scare Su Muran by beating people at every turn now.
"Achilles, it's time for breakfast. ”
Theses came out of the kitchen with the hot soup. Winter is coming, even the gods who are not invaded by cold and heat will be nostalgic for the temperature of the stove and hot soup, not to mention Su Muran, who is most afraid of being cold, he was a southerner in his previous life.
At Su Muran's strong request, Thetis agreed to cook some vegetable soup to drink every day when he was nibbling on bread. Although Thetis cooks at the same level as she was a mother, at least she can still drink a soup.
"Mom, I'm coming. Su Muran ran out of the bedroom wrapped in a quilt, and then squatted on a chair, covering his whole body tightly, only exposing his head outside.
Thetis almost burst out laughing, and she didn't know how to describe Su Muran's current appearance. "What are you doing, take the quilt off!"
"Isn't it too cold, I'll get sick from the cold when I take off the quilt. Su Muran protested, the weather is so cold, although Thetis is not afraid, but he is very afraid. As he spoke, Su Muran reached out to take the bread and prepared to give it a bite.
"Wait a minute, Achilles, have you brushed your teeth and washed your face?" Thetis suddenly grabbed Su Muran's hand.
"Uh...... This ......"
"Go quickly, or don't eat." Thetiss ruthlessly reached out and ripped off the quilt on Su Muran's body, "There are still guests coming today, go and wash up." ”
"Mom, who's coming?" Su Muran had already run to the door as he spoke, and he didn't want to go out, but as soon as he heard that someone was coming to be a guest, he immediately moved.
"It's your aunt, remember to clean up the room after dinner. ”
"Got it, Mom. ”
It was quite cold outside the house, and cold water was used for washing, so Su Muran couldn't stand it even more.
Hurriedly brushing his teeth and washing his face, Su Muran hurriedly ran back to the house. Thetis was sitting on a chair sipping hot soup, and Su Muran sat directly next to her.
"Mom, which aunt is it?" Su Muran asked curiously, there were so many sisters in Thetis that Su Muran couldn't even recognize them all.
"It's Aunt Haihou. Thetis put a bowl of soup in front of Su Muran, signaling him to hurry up and eat.
It's actually the queen of the sea!
Su Muran was already stunned. Although there are many sisters of Thetis, the real noble one is this Queen of the Sea Amphitrite, as the wife of the sea god Poseidon, Amphitrite's power and status are the top among all the sea goddesses, far more than the current Thetis.
But it is unscientific for such a powerful person to come to his house as a guest. Su Muran looked at the simple house of his house and shook his head, not knowing what this queen of the sea thought.
"Don't guess, my mother used to have a good relationship with your aunt, and I used to go to her house often, so it's not strange. Thetis saw Su Muran's doubts and explained to him.
"That's right. Su Muran nodded, grabbed the bread and began to nibble, since the mother said it was okay, it was okay. But soon he thought of something, and his eyes instantly lit up.
"Mom, will Aunt Haihou bring gifts if she comes as a guest?" Su Muran watched Titis pose like a wealth obsession, and the corners of her mouth barely drooled.
"Yes, yes, you can rest assured, I will definitely bring you a gift. ”
"Then when is Aunt Amphitrite coming?" As soon as she heard that there was a gift, Su Muran immediately became excited, the things given by the gods here were all good things.
For example, the two feathers that Styx gave me last time, after my mother's research, if they are made into shoes, the person who wears them can run fast. Although Su Muran didn't know how fast it was, at least it wouldn't be worse than Bolt or something.
"You eat well first, it's not so early. Thetis looked helpless, she almost wondered if Achilles was her own child. Peleus never cared about money and status, he was hardworking, brave, and valued family and honor the most, and she herself was about the same, otherwise she would not marry Peleus, who once had almost nothing.
But she gave birth to a son, who was naughty, afraid of pain, and very greedy for money. Not like himself at all, not like his father.
Titis looked at Su Muran's face carefully, this nose, this eye, this eyebrow, well, it is her own birth.
Thinking of this, Theses was even more distressed, so uncomfortable, her heart hurt so much that she couldn't breathe.
"Mom, what do you think I'm doing?" Su Muran only took two bites of bread, and when she saw Titis staring at him without blinking, she couldn't help touching her face. Could it be that you didn't wash your face just now?
"No, Mom just wants to see why you're so cute. ”
"Oh, Mom, I've grown up, let's praise me for being handsome in the future. Su Muran didn't hear the deep meaning of These's words at all, accepted her "compliment" beautifully, and corrected her a little.
"Okay, okay, I see. Thetis had been completely defeated by Su Muran, and replied weakly with a hold on her forehead.
As soon as breakfast was over, little Pat came to Su Muran to practice his sword again. I don't know why little Pat can always come to Su Muran's house in less than ten minutes after eating, it's quite amazing to think about it.
"Mom, let's go out first. To tell the truth, Su Muran really didn't want to go out in the cold, but he couldn't stand Little Pat's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he had to choose to go out.
"Be careful by the river, remember to come back at noon, your aunt will arrive at noon." Theses instructed him.
"Got it, let's go first. Su Muran pulled Little Pat and hurriedly went out. Since returning from her last trip to the underworld, Thetis has stopped watching them practice swords.
When you come to the river, you can vaguely see the river flowing slowly with some broken ice, and according to this situation, it will not be long before the river will freeze completely.
Little Pat threw the sword to Su Muran, "Achilles, you haven't been practicing your sword very seriously lately, do you have anything on your mind?"
"Maybe it's cold, and I'm less energetic, Patroclus. Su Muran replied seriously on the surface, but he was very helpless in his heart, can I say that it is because you are no longer able to be my opponent?
Yes, little Pat can't beat him at all now. Since returning from the underworld, Su Muran's physical fitness has been strengthening all the time. In the first few days after coming back, he was still struggling to practice with Little Pat, but as time went on, now he could fight with Little Pat even if he held a sword with one hand, and if he took it seriously, it was estimated that Little Pat would lose in two or three rounds.
The strengthening of the body by the water of the river Styx is not achieved overnight, but gradually, becoming stronger and stronger as the body itself grows.
"Even if it's cold, it's not a reason not to be serious. Achilles, you have to be serious today, or I'm going to get angry. Little Pat stared at Su Muran and said with a serious expression.
"I see, come on, Patroclus. Su Muran lifted the sword, and even if it was a wide wooden sword, it danced a beautiful sword flower.
To be honest, seeing Little Pat like this now, Su Muran is still very happy. In the past, little Pat would never say anything to him to be angry, and he always looked weak, unlike now when he can say what is in his heart.
Little Pat rushed up with a wooden sword, and Su Muran blocked it casually, ready to fight back. He already knows Little Pat's routines very well, slashing, retreating, sweeping, and stabbing directly, after all, there are no Dugu Nine Swords in this world, and there are only a few tricks to practice.
Sure enough, after little Pat was blocked, he began to retreat, ready to make a sweep. Usually, Su Muran would wait for him to take out his sword before blocking himself, but since he said that he should be more serious, he will no longer be perfunctory like usual.
Taking advantage of the gap between Little Pat's retreat, Su Muran directly swept with his sword and slashed at Little Pat's sword.
At this moment, Little Pat's hands were already numb, Su Muran smiled, and was about to continue attacking, but at this moment, his eyes were suddenly attracted by something yellow behind Little Pat.
"Wait, Patroclus. Su Muran stuck his sword on the ground and motioned for Little Pat to stop the battle first.
"What's the matter, Achilles?" little Pat was a little strange, but he obediently stopped.
"Shhhh Su Muran raised his index finger at him, and then pointed behind him.
Su Muran quietly took two steps forward, barely seeing that it seemed to be a short tail, emerging from behind the tree and hiding in the withered yellow grass. If it hadn't moved just now, it would have been difficult to spot it with Su Muran's eyesight.
