Chapter 17 - Chapter 17 Mythology, Family Affairs

The shower room was filled with steam and it was so quiet that you could hear the tiny sound of water droplets dripping from the faucet hitting the water surface.

It turns out that the bathtub in our home is so small?

Xi Nian couldn't help but have such thoughts. After his aunt entered the corner of the bathtub behind him, a pair of white and delicate long legs stretched straight across from the side of his waist, and in the hazy steam and warm water beside it, it looked like a top-grade ivory work of art.

The sexy and attractive black hair falls like a waterfall, falling on the shoulders and the water surface.

Diana's heroic brows relaxed slightly. Since the tub was a bit crowded with two people, she could only bend her other leg slightly and place it against her chest. Despite this, Xi Nian could still feel her back lightly touching her knees, separating them, and then pressing against them again.

Xi Nian could clearly smell the delicate fragrance of violets. This was because it didn't come from any shower gel or shampoo in the bathroom, but was unique to one person.

Behind me, my aunt's calm voice suddenly came: "Remember, how long has it been since I gave you a bath?"

"We haven't bathed together since we were ten." Xi Nian realized that he seemed to be looked down upon again and couldn't help but mutter, "Don't always treat me like a child. I'm sixteen now. According to local laws in Washington State, I'm of legal age to get married."

"Yeah, it's been sixteen years. Time flies." Diana said softly.

Xi Nian was silent, trying his best to clear his mind.

He really didn't want this tender moment to be ruined by some physical instinct.

When he was ten years old, Xi Nian took the initiative to suggest that he would take a bath by himself from then on. This was also out of self-restraint, fearing that his emotions would deteriorate in the face of perfect things.

If that situation really happens, it will be the greatest blasphemy for Xi Nian in his two lives.

But he didn't expect it.

Diana would take the initiative to suggest: "Well, it's been a long time, let me give you a bath."

"Hmm." Xi Nian, his mind empty, responded subconsciously, but soon realized the meaning of the words: "Hmm?!"

"Close your eyes," Diana urged.

Xi Nian opened his mouth but could only close his eyes.

He could faintly hear the sound of pressing a shower bottle, and then a pair of cool hands as warm as jade were placed on his head with shower gel, and gently rubbed it with warm water.

The foam gradually spread over his hands and hair, and the tingling sensation on his head like an electric shock made Xi Nian begin to enjoy this incomparably luxurious treatment.

As Diana washed Xi Nian's hair, her beautiful eyes and face revealed an unprecedented tenderness as she softly recounted, "When I was little, whenever I got covered in mud, my master, who is also my aunt, would often wash my hair like this."

"Aunt's master?"

When Xinian heard his aunt talking about her childhood for the first time, he couldn't help but open his eyes, but was stung by the foam falling on his head.

"I told you to close your eyes." Although Diana said this, she immediately moved closer and scooped up clean water in her hands to wash Xi Nian's eyes.

Xinian vaguely saw a half-arc of hills that was even more stunningly beautiful than the snow-white end of the Alps, and quickly closed his eyes again.

"Yes, my master, she and my mother, all live in a place called Paradise Island." Diana continued, "There is a barrier left there by Zeus, the king of the gods. It has been isolated from the outside world for thousands of years. We, the Amazons, live on Paradise Island."

Calm and ordinary.

While Diana was gently washing Xi Nian's hair, it was as if she was telling a very ordinary story.

Xi Nian had never expected that he would hear those shocking secrets left by the ancient Greek gods in such an informal setting as the bathroom.

Diana continued, "I was originally a princess of the Amazon tribe, and was always cared for by my mother and master. Until one day, a fighter plane crashed into the sea near Paradise Island. I left Paradise Island and came to the outside world, which is this world. At that time, mankind was in the midst of the First World War."

"Later, I discovered that the God of War, Ares, was behind the human world war. So, I participated in that brutal war that was a catastrophe for mankind."

Next.

Diana not only talked about her origins and background, but also her experience of participating in the First World War under the name of "Wonder Woman" and her final choice to stay in the human world.

From the initial admiration for humanity to the utter disappointment with humanity.

As a demigod, he hid himself as an ordinary person and lived in human cities for nearly a century.

Without missing a single detail, Diana looked natural, as if she was imparting common sense to the children at home.

Those myths and legends that are beyond the reach of humans have now become family matters that can be easily discussed at night.

Wonder Woman?

A princess of a clan?

Daughter of Zeus?

Xi Nian was stunned. He didn't expect that his aunt's identity and background were so profound.

If Zeus were still alive and saw what was happening in the bathroom, wouldn't he strike him with lightning?

Xi Nian couldn't help but think.

After explaining her background and experiences in society, Diana said with a slightly complicated expression, "I believe you already know. The woman in that old photo with the First World War background you saw this morning is indeed me. As for my identity, I wanted to hold off on telling you until you were eighteen. I didn't mean to deceive you."

"I know, aunt." Xi Nian exhaled and said, "You have been protecting me and preventing me from being harmed by extraordinary things for sixteen years."

Diana paused for a moment as she rubbed Xi Nian's hair and asked, "Aren't you angry or scared about this?"

"Why am I angry, and why am I afraid?" Xi Nian shook his head and said with a smile, "Even if my aunt suddenly said that I was actually a demon, Hachisha-sama, or something like that, and wanted to eat me, I would willingly accept it. What's more, my aunt, you are actually a descendant of the legendary gods!"

"I can live with the beautiful goddess and superhero for such a long time, and I even have the privilege of taking a private shower. Why should I be angry or afraid?" Xinian let himself go and danced with joy, causing water to splash everywhere.

"What goddess, what superhero? Calm down." Diana knocked Xi Nian on the head and scolded him, "Call me Auntie!"

"Yes, yes, auntie." Xi Nian covered his head with his hands in slight pain. Then, he and Diana both smiled knowingly.

The tense atmosphere and estrangement between the two of them completely melted away at this moment. In their place, there was a harmonious and tacit understanding of always considering the other's best interests.

Diana suddenly pinched Xi Nian's ear with her slender fingers and said, "By the way, tell me the truth about you wearing my clothes and running outside to fight the green monster."

"Please let me go, I was just about to say it!"

Xi Nian raised his hands to beg for mercy, and then he organized his words a little: "Actually, a week ago, I accidentally awakened a certain superpower. I call it - 'Lord of the Dependents'."

Without hiding anything from his aunt, Xinian truthfully reported what he knew about his abilities.

"By having intimate contact with the opposite sex, exchanging fluids to the point of physical contact, you can master their abilities?" Diana frowned, a glimmer of understanding in her eyes. "So that's how it is. You triggered this ability while having dinner with me."

"Yes." Xi Nian said with a wry smile: "Even I didn't expect that just using a used water cup as a medium could trigger the ability."

"The main thing is that we exchanged fluids, which should be the most crucial point." Diana's eyes gleamed with wisdom, and she said with even greater surprise: "This superpower seems to be based on the law of cause and effect. However, it can even control the bloodline of God..."

Diana thought of the wishing stone she had encountered before. Only the holy objects left by the gods could have such extraordinary effects.

However, although Xinian's ability has a time limit, it has no negative effects and does not require any cost!

Diana thought of many things at once. Her beautiful eyes lit up slightly, and she muttered to herself inexplicably, "I told you I would give you the opportunity to choose which path to take in the future. I never thought you would actually have such an opportunity to choose."

"Aunt, what did you say...what conditions?" Xi Nian was confused.

"No, I was just thinking about this superpower you awakened."

Diana didn't explain this, but instead raised a question: "I'm wondering. Just by exchanging cups and saliva neutralized with boiling water, you can master all of my abilities."

"That's true." Xi Nian nodded. "However, it can only last about four hours. Is there any problem with that?"

"What I'm thinking about," Diana took a deep breath and pondered, "is, if, and I mean if, instead of neutralizing, you were to directly exchange liquids, or even increase the amount of the liquid medium, what effect would your ability have?"

Xi Nian felt that his aunt's idea was very dangerous.

However, he really didn't expect this.

No way.

Will the performance of the Lord of the Followers' abilities change in duration or intensity depending on the amount of liquid exchange medium?
