Chapter 514

【Late at night, Medea and Circe were lying on the bed like this; the two women could only lie on their stomachs at this moment, after all, their little bottoms had been spanked swollen by Lin Ye, so they had no choice but to lie down.】

The two women looked at each other with grievances, especially Circe; she had only come to help, and she wasn't the one who poisoned anyone, so why was she being beaten along with her?

At this moment, Lin Ye was leaning against the wall to the side, watching the pitiful-looking pair.

Then, he slowly walked over and reached out his hand once again.

"Stop hitting us! We were wrong!" Medea shouted hurriedly; she had truly been beaten into submission by Lin Ye.

Looking at the aggrieved Medea, Lin Ye said coldly,

"It's good that you know you were wrong; stay lying down obediently."

After Lin Ye finished speaking, he placed his hand back on her, but this time, Medea did not feel pain; on the contrary, what she felt was a surge of warm power.

"Th... thank you."

Medea said shyly; if Lin Ye had continued to spank her, she might have still put up a stubborn front, but Lin Ye's sudden gentleness left her at a loss.

She even began to reflect on things.

"I wanted to turn him into a pig, yet he still treats me like this; he's actually quite decent, isn't he... No! He turned my father the King into stone! But... Father had his faults too, and... he even blocked the Cupid's arrow of the Goddess of Beauty for me..."

Medea was in turmoil; now, she no longer knew whether it was her fault or Lin Ye's.

At this moment, she heard Lin Ye's voice.

"You... must hate me, right?"

"No... not really... it's just, I'm a bit unreconciled," Medea said, sounding a little fearful.

"Unreconciled? So, do you think I am a worse King than Aeëtes?"

"Of..." Medea couldn't get the word "course" out. Since Lin Ye became King, the country had shown a vibrant appearance, people's living standards had improved, and the nation was orderly; Medea truly couldn't lie, so she could only say,

"But, this country originally belonged to my father..."

"You are wrong." However, Lin Ye shook his head. "A country never belongs to the King, much less to the gods; it belongs to all the people."】

"Huh?" Medea was stunned. What kind of heretical words was this Lin Ye saying?

Saying the kingdom doesn't belong to the King is one thing, but he even dares to disparage the gods? He really isn't afraid of death.

But she had to admit, this side of Lin Ye was quite charming.

【"No, you said the kingdom doesn't belong to the King, so why do you want to be the King of this country? Isn't that hypocritical of you?"】

Medea seemed to have discovered a loophole in Lin Ye's words, and she immediately began to press him on it.

She didn't believe that a guy like Lin Ye could be so selfless!】

Lin Ye was, of course, not selfless; he actually just didn't care much for Colchis. Besides, Lin Ye really had little interest in being a King.

He could get anything a King could enjoy, and he didn't want to bear the responsibilities a King had to; so why would he work himself to death doing that stuff?

Not to mention staying in Colchis as King forever.

【Listening to Medea's words, Lin Ye smiled and said,

"I didn't become King because I wanted to enslave anyone; I just wanted to be a guide for these impoverished people. If one day you satisfy me, then it wouldn't be impossible for me to let you become the King of this country. But Aeëtes cannot, because... he is unworthy."

"I become King..."

"That's right, what, are you interested?"

"Can I?"

"How would you know if you can't without trying?"】

Seeing Lin Ye say this, Medea's eyes brightened. She believed Lin Ye's words, because with Lin Ye's strength, there was no need for him to lie to her.

Then, perhaps she really could become the King of Colchis.

As for her father... when she becomes King, she could just lift his petrification and find a place for him to spend his later years in peace.

Don't think Medea is just an ordinary love-struck girl; she has ambition too.

In the original mythology, after Medea became disappointed with Jason, she left him; later, according to legend, Medea, having abandoned love, reached the end of the path of Magecraft, obtained an immortal body, and finally established the paradise world "Elysion," becoming its Queen.

"Wait... Elysion?"
