So what is your wish?
Artemis chuckled as she looked at William, who seemed slightly annoyed.
He tucked a few strands of long hair that had inadvertently fallen across her forehead behind her ear and asked in an interested tone.
"Didn't you say before that wishes made through verbal promises won't come true?"
William, who was about to turn and leave, suddenly froze, then asked him in a somewhat incredulous tone.
"Of course it's different! I am a god, and you wished upon me!"
"Therefore, I have an obligation to know your wishes!"
"Only after knowing your wish can I bless you!"
William was stunned. Who was this goddess who acted so inconsistently?
She's completely different from the dashing goddess I met a couple of days ago!
Could it be that he's been possessed by his own Loki?
Had he unknowingly flipped some special switch for Artemis?
"Speak quickly!"
William's stunned expression pleased her, but his prolonged silence also made her a little embarrassed and annoyed!
Her delicate feet lightly stomped the ground, her spoiled manner adding to the charm and elegance of this goddess who usually appeared aloof.
"Nothing much! It's just that I hope the people I love are healthy and that I can continue to become stronger!"
William said nonchalantly, "After all, it's not a shameful wish!"
He doesn't believe in this kind of thing, so there's no harm in saying it.
"I'm telling you, you don't believe I can make your wishes come true!"
Although she felt good about getting an answer, William's indifferent attitude still made her slightly unhappy!
What does this mean? Do you not believe she has the ability to fulfill wishes?
William gave Artemis a subtle, dismissive look, then clapped his hands and turned to walk toward the street.
Artemis also jogged a few steps to catch up with William!
"I didn't say I didn't believe you couldn't grant our wishes, but you've already descended to the mortal realm!"
"No matter how powerful you are, if you can't use divine power, there's nothing you can do!"
William explained quietly to Artemis, who had followed him.
While Artemis was deep in thought...
He muttered something to himself in a voice only he could hear.
"Besides, even if you still possess divine power, I don't believe you can grant their wishes!"
What are you talking about?
Although Artemis was deep in thought, her hearing remained sharp, though she didn't quite catch what William was saying.
But she could still vaguely hear William speaking!
"Nothing!"
"Is that so?"
William denied it, while Artemis expressed doubt!
The distance from the riverbank to the street isn't exactly short, and the two of them weren't exactly walking fast either!
So although it didn't last very long, it still took about five or six minutes.
"Etc!"
Just as the two were about to enter the bustling street, Artemis, who had been lost in thought, suddenly called out to William.
William abruptly pulled back his forward leg, turned around, and looked at Artemis with a questioning expression.
"What's wrong, Lady Artemis?"
Well, how should I put it!
At this moment, Artemis's two small hands were constantly rubbing up and down, and her two slender legs were tightly closed without leaving a single gap!
The orange-yellow light illuminated her radiant face, and a delicate pink blush covered her fair skin.
Why are you suddenly acting all shy?
At this moment, question marks had grown all over William's head, just like the amount of hair he had!
"You... you close... your eyes first!"
Perhaps she was too nervous! The goddess was even having trouble speaking!
His pure white teeth bit down hard on her bright red lips, and when William closed his eyes, she actually closed her eyes first out of nervousness.
Seeing that the goddess was in such a state, William had a rough idea of what she was going to do, and obediently closed his eyes.
At the same time, he slightly bent his knees to maintain the same height as the goddess.
Artemis, sensing that William was almost ready, quietly opened her eyes.
But when she saw William slightly crouching, her face flushed even more.
But Artemis, who had already made up her mind, could no longer allow herself to back down because of shyness.
Taking a step forward brought William and her closer.
He glanced around to make sure there were no pedestrians nearby.
She let out a heavy sigh, steeled herself, closed her eyes, and wrapped her little arms around William's neck.
William obediently closed his eyes, and after waiting a moment, he felt his neck being hooked.
A clear and pleasant, light fragrance instantly filled his nostrils, followed by a smooth, soft touch on his lips!
The familiar touch made William's eyes widen in surprise.
