The God's Bolster

The night sky above Themyscira was dotted with stars.

Inside an ancient, circular building.

Pale, cool moonlight streamed through the gaps in the star-shaped iron windows of the main hall. In the single, dark, and silent corridor, accompanied by a rustling sound, a young figure dragged a heavy object inside.

Mother Box: "???"

Xi Nian let out a sigh of relief, placed the mattress from Xiao Hei's room in a corner of the open-air main hall, and then lay down, completely exhausted.

The small dark room was too stuffy. It was better to sleep in the airy main hall. Anyway, there was nothing else here except for a box.

"I'm sleeping here, you don't have a problem with that, do you? Neighbor Box." Xi Nian, as if possessed, glanced at the iron box placed on the stone altar not far away and asked sincerely.

The Mother Box remained motionless.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your agreement." Xi Nian blinked and fell asleep on the mattress with great peace of mind, pulling the covers over himself.

Mother Box: "!!!"

How could it move?

How dare it move?

"I wonder how Aunt is doing." Xi Nian held the Star-Spangled Tiara tightly in his arms as he slept.

Today, he had seen many people on Themyscira, but he hadn't seen Aunt Diana at all.

"That's right, after not seeing her mother for so long, she probably stayed in the palace and didn't come out." As Xi Nian thought, he soon drifted into a deep, distant dream.

He slept until the middle of the night.

The temperature in the main hall continued to drop a few degrees.

Xi Nian suddenly felt a chill. Before he could open his eyes, in his daze, a familiar fragrance faintly wafted into his nose.

It was as if a garden of violets had bloomed beside him.

"Huh?" Xi Nian woke up with a start. He opened his eyes wide and stared blankly at his side.

A beautiful, mature woman lay on the mattress next to him.

Her slightly curly black hair was casually spread across the bedding. Her eyes were closed, and her sword-like eyebrows and eyelashes appeared dark and dense. Below her exquisitely featured face, which seemed to have its own beauty filter, was a tall, graceful figure built in perfect proportion. Her proud chest rose and fell with her steady breathing, and her slender, toned legs could only be bent and overlapped to avoid extending beyond the bed.

She was wearing a noble and luxurious golden royal dress. The bright moonlight covered her like a silver scarf, making her appear like a deity not of this world, possessing an unreal beauty!

As if sensing that Xi Nian had woken up and was looking at her.

The woman's beautiful, gem-like eyes opened slightly, clearly reflecting the young man's face nearby.

"Aunt, why are you here?" Xi Nian thought he was dreaming.

"Didn't you say this morning that you wanted... a hug tonight?" Diana said, as if her appearance there was the most natural thing in the world.

"This morning?" Xi Nian suddenly remembered.

Actually, he had just said it casually. He hadn't expected his aunt to not only remember it but also to come specifically to fulfill his wish at this time.

An Aunt Doraemon, you're worth having!

"Really, is it okay?"

His gaze fell on her slender, mermaid-like waist, and Xi Nian felt his heart race uncontrollably.

"Mhm." Diana nodded gently.

Thus, Xi Nian's hand gently landed on his aunt's waist.

Xi Nian's first impression was.

As expected of the royal attire of the Amazon tribe, the fabric was clearly the finest silk. The material was soft, warm, and smooth, with a slight, powerful resilience. There was not a trace of excess flesh, and he could imagine that beneath it lay healthy skin.

Xi Nian cherished her even more, to the point where he didn't dare to use any force. He merely embraced her gently with one hand, as if measuring her waist with a ruler. Even though he knew that even with Antiope's strength, he couldn't harm his aunt in the slightest.

Women's waists are generally not to be touched. The sensitivity in this area is sometimes even greater than that of the feet.

After all.

Whether it's above or below, these are extremely important areas.

Xi Nian gently embraced Aunt Diana's waist, without any other actions, or rather, this was enough for now.

This was already a huge step forward from before.

Xi Nian could feel his aunt's body trembling slightly, and he suddenly felt relieved. So, he wasn't the only one who was nervous and cautious.

"Aunt, this tiara." Xi Nian seemed to remember something and took out the Star-Spangled Tiara he had been holding in his arms.

"You can keep it for now," Diana said softly. "You need it now."

"Okay, I'll take good care of it." Xi Nian nodded solemnly. After the battle this afternoon, he no longer resisted.

If even he himself couldn't bear the weight of this crown, how could he make the Amazons of Themyscira believe that he could bear and protect both the crown and his aunt's future?

"This afternoon. Actually, I asked Antiope to fight you specifically." Diana lightly tapped Xi Nian's forehead with her cool fingers, laughing as if she were scolding him. "Before I awakened my divine power, I also trained with Antiope. So, I wanted her to help train you. I didn't expect you to hold back at all."

Xi Nian gave a wry smile. He had actually noticed that Antiope had been holding back. The afternoon hadn't felt much like a battle, more like a special sparring session.

Otherwise, with Antiope's strength, he wouldn't have lasted two rounds.

"For the next few days, you'll train with Antiope," Diana instructed. "You need to master more combat techniques. That way, when you trigger the Lord of Kin ability, you'll be able to better adapt and control others' abilities. You won't accidentally break household windows or lose control of your body like before."

"Alright," Xi Nian sighed. It seemed his relaxing and enjoyable trip was completely ruined.

"If you perform well..." Diana thought for a moment, then suddenly took Xi Nian's hand and got up from the mattress. She walked towards the corridor, leaving behind, "I'll let you hug me for a while longer tonight."

Xi Nian's eyes immediately lit up.

His goal and motivation suddenly appeared!

To better adapt to his physical abilities (×), to get the Aunt's limited-edition cuddle pillow (√).

And so.

The next morning.

When Xi Nian appeared on the training grounds full of enthusiasm and energy, and proactively requested Antiope to train him, the General herself was a bit bewildered.

Despite her confusion, Antiope still taught Xi Nian rigorously and earnestly.

Swordsmanship, spear throwing, archery, shield strikes, horseback riding...

Even with basic training by human standards, by the end of each day, Xi Nian was completely exhausted. He could only find solace for his body and mind at night by hugging the incredibly comfortable cuddle pillow.

Just like that.

Three days passed quickly.

The last day for Diana and Xi Nian on Themyscira had finally arrived.
