A Few Days on Themyscira

Diana's aunt's hometown. Xi Nian had heard about it that night in the bathtub.

It wasn't as simple as New York, Metropolis, or some specific city or town. It was a remnant land of the Old Gods called "Themyscira," inhabited by the Warrior Race passed down from the Age of Gods—the Amazons.

Even through the fabric, Xi Nian could feel the delicate and supple strength emanating from her long legs. He asked with some confusion, "Aunt, didn't you say before that you were exiled from Themyscira?"

Themyscira.

Founded by Zeus, the King of the Olympian Gods, the island was protected by a magical force field. Not only could high-tech equipment from the human world not detect the island's existence from the outside, but anyone who left the island would also forget its exact location.

Because of this, Themyscira was both a real place on Earth and truly isolated from the human world.

When Diana's aunt left Themyscira during World War I, she forgot the island's coordinates. It was equivalent to eternal exile, making it impossible for her to return to her homeland.

"That's indeed correct," Diana nodded lightly, her beautiful eyes flashing with wisdom. "However, thanks to your help not long ago, 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's important is, are you willing to go back with me?"

At this moment.

Across the river, the modern street scene was becoming more lively. The night wind blew, breaking the thin layer of ice on the river's surface.

Xi Nian suddenly understood. This was also a choice.

Was he choosing the life and identity of the human world, everything from the past sixteen years, or was he choosing to follow his aunt?

Did he even need to hesitate?

Xi Nian smiled. "I am willing."

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

"That would naturally be a very sad thing," Xi Nian paused, then said sincerely, "But if I can never see you again, Aunt, I will die."

Since ancient times, many heroes had died under a woman's skirt.

Moreover, he wasn't a hero, and he was sitting on her skirt.

"Alright, my mother won't agree to you staying on Themyscira permanently," Diana lightly tapped the back of Xi Nian's head with her finger and smiled. "I haven't seen my tribespeople in a long time. We're just going back for a visit. We'll return before your vacation ends."

"So when do we leave?" Xi Nian asked curiously. This was practically a few-day trip to Themyscira.

No, it felt more like going back to his aunt's family home?

Xi Nian thought.

Diana didn't have as many thoughts as he did. She parted her lips and said, "Now, we depart immediately."

The next day, morning.

The Aegean Sea, aboard a massive three-story cruise ship.

Due to Greece's local Mediterranean climate, it wasn't cold even in winter. Bathed in the bright and brilliant sunlight, tourists on the ship disembarked onto the open-air deck, enjoying the romantic cool sea breeze and ocean views.

Tourists from all over the world, while relaxing and having fun, also seemed to be looking forward to a wonderful romantic encounter. The men were dressed as dashing English gentlemen, and the women mostly wore vibrant and graceful long dresses. Many were on deck, enjoying the sea view while engaging in conversation.

And when a woman boarded the cruise ship's deck, all the men's eyes showed astonishment, and the women who were vying for attention on board were instantly eclipsed.

The black-haired woman wore a white off-the-shoulder dress with a slit. Her exquisite and beautiful face looked as if it were sculpted by the gods themselves. Her tall and mature, perfect figure was accentuated by the long dress, outlining a breathtakingly graceful curve. Her every move exuded nobility and elegance, and her slightly curly, shoulder-length hair glistened.

Beside the woman, a young man with a youthful face followed closely. His features were delicate and handsome, and he wore a well-fitting shirt and uniform.

The two walked onto the deck side by side from the cabin, appearing like a brother and sister about ten years apart in age.

Immediately.

A gentleman on deck was the first to step forward, approaching the woman. He politely and gently said, "Excuse me, madam, may I have the honor of getting to know you?"

Before the mature and stunning woman could respond.

The young man beside her suddenly declared his claim, wrapping his arm around her slender waist. He also smiled politely and said, "Sorry, this is my little girlfriend."

"L-little girlfriend?!"

At that moment, countless people on deck were dumbfounded, and for a moment, they doubted if they had heard correctly.

The gentleman who had taken off his hat to strike up a conversation was also somewhat stunned and instinctively looked at the woman.

Diana didn't speak, a faint smile playing on her lips, as if tacitly acknowledging this identity.

Xi Nian blinked and said, "Excuse me, uncle, could you please let us pass?"

"Me, uncle?" The gentleman's mouth twitched. Suffered a fatal blow, he dejectedly moved aside.

Seeing this, the other gentlemen didn't bother trying to strike up a conversation, and suddenly felt that the ladies fluttering around them were no longer as appealing.

To reach the 'pinnacle' at such a young age and drive such a high-end car, people truly couldn't compare!

Xi Nian put his arm around Diana and led her to the ship's railing. Facing them was the vast, boundless azure sea.

Diana glanced at Xi Nian and suddenly said, "Just now, what did you say I was?"

"L-little," Xi Nian opened his mouth, then decisively said, "Aunt!"

"Are you serious?" Diana's face was expressionless.

"Of course."

"Then let go of my hand."

"Oh." Xi Nian sheepishly withdrew his hand, looking a little wronged.

Diana seemed to feel her tone was a bit harsh, and she added in a low voice, "Don't hug me like this when we're outside..."

Xi Nian's heart skipped a beat inexplicably.

So, she meant he could hug her anytime when they were at home?

Top-tier understanding!

"What if I want to hug you tonight?" Xi Nian couldn't help but ask, feeling he needed his aunt's explicit permission.

Diana turned her face away, gazing intently at the sea ahead, as if she hadn't heard his words.

It seemed unlikely.

Xi Nian wasn't too disappointed. If she really let him hug her, he would be the one feeling uncomfortable in the end.

Diana suddenly spoke, "I've recalled some more about the location of Themyscira."

"That's great, think about it carefully again." Xi Nian's eyes lit up. He stopped talking, allowing his aunt to concentrate.

If she possessed divine power, she would surely be able to see it.

At this moment, Diana was clutching the Golden Lasso in her right hand. The other end of the lasso was bound to her left wrist.

The Golden Lasso, used to restrain others, could make them speak the truth.

There was also a hidden rule within it.

Even things forgotten deep in one's memory would be forcibly recalled!

Inspired by her last use of the lasso on Xi Nian, Diana was now using the Lasso of Truth on herself, borrowing the artifact's authority to counter the laws of Themyscira, thereby recalling the correct coordinates of Themyscira!
