A Few Days Touring Themyscira

Diana's homeland—that was something Xi Nian had heard about in the bathtub that night.

It was not as simple as New York, a metropolis, or some specific city or town. It was a remnant of the Old Gods known as "Themyscira," home to the Amazons, a warrior people passed down from the Age of Gods.

Even through the fabric, Xi Nian could feel the delicate suppleness and firmness of the long legs beneath him. Somewhat puzzled, he asked, "Aunt Diana, didn't you say before that you'd been exiled from Themyscira?"

Themyscira.

Created by Zeus, the King of the Olympian Gods, it was protected by a magical barrier. Not only could humanity's high-tech equipment not detect the island from the outside, but anyone who left from within the island would forget its proper coordinates.

Because of this, Themyscira truly existed on Earth, yet was completely isolated from the human world.

When Aunt Diana had left Themyscira during World War I, she had forgotten the island's coordinates. It was equivalent to being exiled forever, unable to return to her homeland.

"That is indeed true." Diana nodded lightly, wisdom gleaming in her beautiful eyes. "But not long ago, because of your help, I thought of a way to return to Themyscira."

"My... help?" Xi Nian was even more confused. When had he ever helped his aunt?

Diana said softly, "Finding a way back to Themyscira isn't important. What matters is whether you're willing to return with me."

At that moment.

Across the river, the modern streets were becoming increasingly lively. The night wind swept by, breaking the thin layer of ice floating on the river.

Xi Nian suddenly understood that this was also a choice.

Would he choose his life in the human world, his identity, everything he had known for sixteen years—or would he choose to follow his aunt?

Was there even a need to hesitate?

Xi Nian smiled. "I'm willing."

Diana asked with a trace of doubt, "Even if you can never see your friends again?"

"That would naturally be very sad." Xi Nian paused, then said sincerely, "But if I could never see Aunt Diana again, I'd die."

Since ancient times, there had been no shortage of heroes who died beneath skirts.

Besides, he was no hero—and he was sitting on one.

"Alright, even if you wanted to stay on Themyscira permanently, my mother wouldn't agree." Diana tapped the back of Xi Nian's head with a finger and smiled. "I haven't seen my people in a long time. We're only going back for a visit. Before your vacation ends, we'll return together."

"Then when do we leave?" Xi Nian asked curiously. Wasn't this basically a few days touring Themyscira?

No, it felt more like going back to her family home with his aunt?

Xi Nian thought.

Diana did not have as many thoughts as he did. Her lips parted slightly. "Now. We leave immediately."

The next morning.

On the Aegean Sea, aboard a massive three-story sightseeing cruise ship.

Because of Greece's Mediterranean climate, winter did not feel particularly cold. Bathed in bright, brilliant sunlight, the passengers boarded the open deck one after another, enjoying the romance of the cool sea breeze and ocean scenery.

While relaxing and having fun, tourists from all over the world seemed to be looking forward to a wonderful romantic encounter. The men dressed like refined British gentlemen, while the women mostly wore glamorous, graceful long dresses. Quite a few people admired the sea view while chatting and socializing on the deck.

But when a woman stepped onto the cruise ship's deck, every man's eyes filled with amazement, while the women competing for attention were instantly overshadowed.

The black-haired woman wore a white one-shoulder dress with a slit. Her exquisite, beautiful face seemed personally sculpted by a god, while her tall, mature, perfect figure was outlined beneath the long dress in breathtakingly graceful curves. Every movement carried nobility and elegance, and her sexy, lightly curled shoulder-length hair shimmered.

At her side followed a youthful-looking boy with handsome, delicate features, dressed in a fitted and proper shirt uniform.

The two walked up from the cabin onto the deck side by side, looking like an older sister and younger brother with an age difference of around ten years.

Immediately.

A gentleman on the deck was the first to step forward, approaching the woman as he politely said, "Miss, may I have the honor of getting to know you?"

Before the mature, stunning woman could respond.

The boy beside her suddenly declared his claim, wrapping an arm around her slender waist. With an equally polite smile, he said, "Sorry, she's my little girlfriend."

Little girlfriend?!

In that instant, countless people on the deck were dumbfounded, all wondering if they had heard wrong.

The gentleman who had removed his hat to strike up a conversation was also stunned. He instinctively looked toward the woman.

Diana said nothing. A faint smile curled at her lips, as if she were tacitly acknowledging that identity.

Xi Nian blinked. "Uncle, could you please make way?"

"Me, an uncle?" The gentleman's lips twitched. Struck by a devastating blow, he dejectedly stepped aside.

Seeing this, the other gentlemen did not bother trying to strike up conversations either. They merely suddenly found the women hovering around them less appealing.

At such a young age, he had already reached the pinnacle of life, driving a top-tier luxury car. People really couldn't be compared!

With one arm around Diana, Xi Nian came to the deck railing. Before them lay the vast, boundless blue sea.

Diana glanced at Xi Nian and suddenly asked, "What did you just say I was?"

"Little..." Xi Nian opened his mouth, then decisively said, "Aunt Diana!"

"Really?" Diana's expression was blank.

"Of course."

"Then hurry up and remove your hand."

"Oh." Xi Nian awkwardly withdrew his hand, looking somewhat aggrieved.

Diana seemed to feel that her tone had been a little too harsh, and softly added, "Don't hold me like that when we're outside..."

Xi Nian's heart skipped a beat for no reason.

So that meant he could hold her however he wanted when they weren't outside—when they were home?

Peak-level comprehension!

"If I want to hold you tonight, then?" Xi Nian could not help asking. He felt that he should still get his aunt's personal permission.

Diana turned her face away and stared seriously at the sea ahead, as though she had not heard him.

Looks like there's no chance.

Xi Nian did not feel much regret. If she really let him hold her, he would be the one suffering in the end.

Diana suddenly said, "I've remembered a little more about Themyscira's location."

"That's great. Think carefully some more." Xi Nian's eyes lit up. He stopped talking, letting his aunt concentrate.

If she had Divine Power, she would definitely be able to see it.

At that moment, Diana's right hand was tightly gripping the Golden Lasso. The other end of the lasso was bound around her own left wrist.

The Golden Lasso could restrain others and make them speak the truth.

It also had a hidden principle.

Even things forgotten deep within one's memories would be forcibly recalled!

Having gained inspiration when she restrained Xi Nian last time, Diana was now using the Lasso of Truth on herself, borrowing the divine artifact's power to resist Themyscira's laws and recall its correct coordinates!
