It took a while for Athena to react. She quickly stood up and tried to distance herself from Jerry!
However, she found herself weak and fell into Jerry’s arms after swaying for a while.
Athena’s face turned even redder. Her fair neck was instantly covered in a layer of pink.
Seeing Athena’s appearance, Jerry immediately realized that Athena did not notice that he was peeking!
He immediately heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, but he immediately put on an angry expression and asked seriously, “What did I say in the beginning?”
Athena’s expression was terrified, and she lowered her head and said, “Everything must be done step by step, one at a time. Don’t try to control the what you can’t control!”
“If you already know that, why do you still do this?”Jerry was not pretending to be angry. If he had been one step slower, Athena would have died here because she could not control the power that was rampaging in her body.
“I just want to be stronger!”
“Stronger? It doesn’t matter even if I die!” Jerry said through gritted teeth.
“Yes! “Athena looked up at Jerry and said without hesitation.
As long as she could get stronger and help Jerry, she didn’t care even if she had to pay the price of her life.
Looking at Athena whose tears were rolling in her eyes, Jerry really didn’t know what to say!
“There has to be a reason!”
However, Athena really didn’t say anything more.
The scene fell into silence for a moment. Looking at Athena who did not say a word, Jerry was really at a loss for words.
She was clearly the one who disobeyed the order and almost died, but now it seemed like Jerry had done something wrong.
“No matter what, that method of yours not only won’t make you stronger, it will only get you killed!”
“Then please allow me to return to Sky City. There are still many things to do in Sky City right now! I have been away for too long.”
Ha!
When Jerry heard that, he was amused.
Was this a threat? And he was planning to quit.
“I’m telling you, don’t even think about it!”Jerry laughed angrily. What a joke, you can come and go as you please.
Did you still think highly of him, the Lord.
“You didn’t take my orders seriously just now, and now you still want to leave? Do you think of running away after doing something wrong? How come I didn’t know that my Sky Dynasty had such a rule?”
“Don’t think of using the saying that Sky City is busy with business to get away with it!”Jerry’s words directly blocked Athena’s words.
“Your Majesty, let me go back. I’m just a burden here. Not only will I be of no help, but I’ll only be a burden to your Majesty!” Athena said with a sobbing tone.
She also felt the danger of forcefully absorbing life energy just now. If it wasn’t for Jerry, she would have been completely destroyed by the terrifying energy storm in her body.
It was not because she was afraid of death, but because this made her completely understand that even if she paid the price of her life, she might not be able to improve her strength.
Looking at Athena’s crying appearance, Jerry finally reacted. Ever since he established the Holy Dynasty, obtained the recognition of the Empire Era, and obtained the fragment of the Empire Era that he was in.
His commanders and generals seemed to be less and less mobilized.
Especially since he entered the training field, other than Athena and Alice, the other commanders and generals did not even know what the training field looked like.
Because the strength of these commanders and generals had already been separated from the training field, rashly summoning those commanders and generals would most likely cause them to die in the maze.
Hence, Jerry did not summon them over. This was to protect them.
However, Jerry had forgotten that to Athena and the others, they would rather die to protect Jerry than stay behind and be protected by Jerry.
To these commanders and generals, this was worse than killing them!
“I understand!”Jerry took a deep breath. Ever since he stepped into the trial grounds, he had only focused on improving his own strength, and had forgotten about the generals that he had summoned.
They were not cold puppets.
“Thank you, your Majesty!” Athena thought that Jerry had agreed to her suggestion. Although she was sad, it was better than staying here and dragging Jerry down.
“Thank you for what?”
“Thank you, your Majesty, for agreeing to let me return to Sky City!”
“When did I say that I agreed to let you return to Sky City?”Jerry had a sly smile on his face.
“But if I stay, I will only…” Athena said anxiously. She did not want to be a burden to Jerry anymore. If one day she put Jerry in danger because of her, she would not be able to make up for it even if she died ten thousand times.
“Then just become stronger!”Jerry interrupted Athena directly.
However, Athena had a bitter smile on her face. She had always wanted to become stronger, but she had already tried. Even if she risked her life, she could not do it!
Seeing the desolate expression on her face, Jerry knew what Athena was thinking.
He gently pulled Athena into his arms and said slowly, “Sorry, I have been ignoring your thoughts all this time, but I will pay attention in the future.”
Athena immediately panicked. She did not mean it that way. She just did not want to be a burden. Moreover, how could the lord of the dynasty have the need to consider the thoughts of his subordinates.
Just as Athena was about to explain, Jerry had already bent down and used his lips to block off what Athena wanted to say.
Athena’s mind went blank in an instant. She stared blankly at Jerry’s face that was right in front of her.
Until her lips parted, Athena was still at a loss. As for what she wanted to say earlier, she had already forgotten it completely.
“Let me tell you, wherever I go, you have to follow me!”Jerry looked at the confused face in his arms and said with a smile.
Want to run? Don’t even think about it!
Then, he leaned over and pressed his lips against the red lips again. Then, he slowly moved down the smooth cheeks. Athena finally realized something and her face turned red.
She tried to break free from Jerry’s embrace, but Jerry did not let go so easily. Then, Athena gave up struggling!
She closed her eyes like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!
Jerry kissed every inch of Athena’s skin while he slowly untied Athena’s dress with his hands.
As the dress gradually peeled off, a large patch of snow-white skin was exposed in front of Jerry, but there was a faint blush on the snow-white skin.
At this moment, Athena, which had her eyes tightly shut, was already red to the ears.
But she still closed her eyes and laid in Jerry’s arms, pretending to be dead!
