-----------------------------------------

Stepping out of the Gothic old wine shop, Lan Jue’s mouth still savored the rich aroma of the meat and the pure, exquisite fragrance of the Heavenly God’s Legacy wine. The barista had already left after getting a satisfactory answer from him.

Turning to look at the gourmet who walked out of the door with him, Lan Jue couldn’t help but want to laugh.

The Iberian ham from ancient Spain was indeed rich in fat, but the way the gourmet chose to eat it had another effect: it cut through the greasiness. After cutting through the greasiness, one could naturally eat more.

At this moment, Lan Jue’s mind was still filled with the melancholy look of the sommelier as he put away the remaining ham.

“Goodbye.” The gourmet waved to him and blended into the night.

Lan Jue crossed the Heavenly Fire Avenue and was somewhat surprised to see that the lights in his shop were still on. It was already very late.

Pushing the door open, he saw Xiu Xiu with a smile on her face.

“Xiu Xiu, why haven’t you gone back to rest? It’s already very late.” Lan Jue looked at her in confusion.

Xiu Xiu smiled and came forward, handing him a letter. “Boss, this is what the lady left behind. I was afraid something important might be delayed, so I waited for you to give it to you. Ke’er also wanted to wait with me, but she was sleepy, so I let her go back first.”

Lan Jue gave her a light hug. “You’re always so thoughtful.”

Xiu Xiu smiled. “Shall I go back now?”

“Mm, good night, be careful on your way home.” Lan Jue lightly kissed her cheek.

Xiu Xiu turned back before leaving the shop and smiled at him. “You smell really good today.”

Lan Jue laughed. “If I always smelled this good, the sommelier would fight me to the death.”

Xiu Xiu closed the door as she left. Lan Jue lived here at night, not to keep watch, but because this was his home.

Holding the letter, Lan Jue walked into the VIP room and pressed a spot on the wall. The wall quietly slid to the side, revealing the room behind it.

Lan Jue’s living space wasn’t large, only about a hundred square meters, but it was fully equipped with all the necessary tools. Xiu Xiu and Ke’er would help him clean it every day, so it was always spotless.

The room still had a faint fragrance left by the two girls. Lan Jue didn’t like the smell of most perfumes, and Xiu Xiu and Ke’er knew this.

Sitting on the sofa, Lan Jue opened the letter. He didn’t really want to read it, as he didn’t want to ruin the good mood from tasting the Heavenly God’s Legacy. But everyone has curiosity, and he was no exception. Moreover, he had a vague feeling that this letter wasn’t simple.

Opening the letter, inside was a piece of white paper with only four words, but they were four words that instantly made him forget the taste of the Heavenly God’s Legacy.

Lan Jue’s originally carefree eyes after drinking turned completely blue, with electric light swirling in them. The originally bright lights in the room flickered faintly, alternating between bright and dim, occasionally making a “sizzling” sound.

He! La! Wei! Si!

These were the four words on the paper.

Hera was a name, the name of the queen of the gods in ancient Greek mythology during the Upper Yuan era.

Zeus was the king of the gods, and his wife was the queen of the gods, Hera.

In the New Yuan era, Hera was Lan Jue’s wife, who went missing in a disaster that nearly destroyed him. That explosion was enough to destroy a small planet. No one thought Hera could still be alive.

The incident happened three years ago, and after that, he came here and settled down.

Dragons have their scales, and Zeus has his.

Lan Jue sat there, completely motionless for a full fifteen minutes.

After fifteen minutes, he turned the envelope over and found a communication number on the back.

Pressing his left hand in the air, the screen opposite the sofa lit up, and a four-dimensional holographic image appeared, showing the appearance of Mars. A light touch panel also appeared to the left of Lan Jue.

His long, agile fingers almost left afterimages as they input the number, and the four-dimensional image on the screen began to rotate.

A few seconds later, the Mars image disappeared, and the woman who had come to the shop appeared in a four-dimensional holographic image, still dressed as she was during the day, standing opposite Lan Jue.

“Zeus, can we talk now?” the woman said with a smile, very confident, even a bit condescending.

Lan Jue’s expression was very calm, and the blue in his eyes had disappeared. “Do you know the cost of deceiving me?”

Even though they were communicating through a communicator, the woman’s face still changed when she heard this, and a strong palpitation made her feel as if her heart was being tightly gripped. But she quickly calmed down. “When Zeus is angry, the heavens and earth change color. I am very clear about this. My name is ?.”

Lan Jue said coldly, “Prove it to me.”

“Alright.” ? agreed readily, raising her hands and pulling them horizontally in the air, and an image appeared.

The image showed a classroom in a school, with students in school uniforms walking in one by one, preparing for class.

Suddenly, Lan Jue stood up, and the blue light that had just disappeared from his eyes reappeared.

He saw a figure, a figure that was already etched in his soul.

The first thing that caught his eye was her long black hair, naturally curly, black and smooth, flowing down to her waist. Her school uniform revealed her arms, as white as lilies, and her slender figure. Because of the desk, he couldn’t see below her skirt.

The most stunning thing was her eyes, a pair of eyes unlike any others, as blue as the sea, clear and pure without a trace of impurity. Her long lashes curled upward, and these blue eyes became the most captivating feature of her delicate face. One glance from her seemed to capture the soul with her beautiful gaze.

Black hair, blue eyes, it was her!

The image faded, and ?’s voice sounded again.

“Zeus, can we talk about our cooperation now? The school uniform Hera is wearing is worn by students in over two hundred schools on Mars alone. And the planet she is on may not be Mars. I can reveal one thing to you in advance: if you don’t find her within ten days, you will regret it for the rest of your life.”

Lan Jue, more accurately, Zeus Lan Jue, his gaze grew even colder. “Conditions!”
