I, with my frail and sickly body, simultaneously traverse hundreds of worlds.

“Light manipulation,” Terra Angelica replied.

Streams are the treasures of the forest, the hunting grounds of hunters, and the gathering places of prey.

A black bear, standing three meters tall, was drinking water when it suddenly sensed something, its ears twitched, and it looked upstream.

A person is floating downstream.

Bears are omnivores, and it's not true that they don't eat dead people. The black bear noticed this and prepared to reap a feast bestowed upon it by heaven.

The stream was almost nonexistent under the black bear's thick arms, and the blond boy was grabbed in one swift motion.

Sniffing the delicious food in front of it, the black bear let out a low growl, preparing to enjoy a rare feast.

The instant the black bear opened its mouth wide, a flash of cold light streaked through the air, piercing through its jaws and reaching its brain.

Blood splattered from the wound onto Bai Zhi's face, causing his brow to twitch.

The hunter delivered the fatal blow he had been waiting for; the black bear swayed and fell vertically to the ground.

The violent tremor brought Bai Zhi, who was half-asleep, fully awake. What she saw next was a bear's face with its mouth full of blood.

"Eek—"

Bai Zhi let out a shameful scream and instinctively threw a punch.

boom--

The bear's head turned into a bloody mist, and its skull and even its bones exploded in an instant.

The screams stopped abruptly.

The Greek Runaway Prince: Chapter Three - The Huntress of Arcadia

Silence, long silence.

The improvement was greater than expected.

Bai Zhi braced herself against the ground and tried to get up, leaving two deep handprints on the earth.

I have sensation in my lower body, but I can't exert any strength.

Thanks to the enhancements brought by the physical attributes of androids and angels, Bai Zhi's physical strength has increased dramatically, becoming several times greater than before.

Having confirmed her own identity, Bai Zhi looked at the black bear beside her whose head had been blown off.

"I killed him, no, it was someone else who killed him."

With keen senses and a slight refracted light, he noticed the arrow lying nearby, its surface covered in pinkish-white brain matter. This must be the real cause of the black bear's death.

Therefore, the hunter who killed the black bear should still be nearby. The attack just now probably made him hesitant to reveal himself.

Bai Zhi reached into her robe, searched around, and touched the dagger. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that at least she had some room to fight back, albeit not much.

“I know you’re nearby. You killed the black bear. I’m not going to take it from you. How about we talk? I have a request for your help.”

You can hunt black bears that are about three meters tall. If you can't move, you'd better lower your tone.

Bai Zhi looked towards the bushes opposite her, following the trail of the arrow.

A gust of wind blew by, and he caught a faint scent of tree sap.

"You have stolen my prey."

A clear, magnetic voice rang out from above Bai Zhi's head. The female hunter, standing on the tree trunk, drew her bow and pointed an arrow directly at Bai Zhi, warning him not to come any closer.

Forehead!

Bai Zhi gave an awkward but polite smile, turned her head, and pointed to her wet clothes.

“I am a victim, look, my clothes are still wet.”

Following the sound, I saw a young girl standing on a treetop, panting, dressed in rough hunter's clothes. She possessed a wild beauty, and the rough clothing did little to conceal her features; with a little grooming, she was clearly a stunning beauty...

It is also a clear problem.

Bai Zhi's disdainful look made the female hunter very uncomfortable. She shot an arrow at Bai Zhi, which came within ten centimeters of his neck, showing that her accuracy was quite good.

"What do you want to entrust to me?"

The hunter put away her bow and arrows and leaped down from the treetop, but she didn't get close. The power of Bai Zhi's punch made her a little wary.

Without an immediate reply, Bai Zhi looked the female hunter up and down and asked, "How's your skill?"

"Technique?" The female hunter frowned. "I'm quite famous among hunters around this forest."

"No, I don't mean hunting skills, but other skills."

Bai Zhi pointed to her lower body and said, "You should be quite good at this, right?"

There are many kinds of injuries that can be sustained in the wild forest: poisonous insects, bleeding, falls, fractures. Hunters can also act as battlefield medics, which is a good way to learn from each other.

However, the huntress seemed to have misunderstood something, and her eyes turned cold.

“I can pay.” Bai Zhi took out a small bag of gold coins from her robe.

The female hunter looked at Bai Zhi as if she were looking at a piece of non-combustible trash, a hint of murderous intent flashing across her face.

"Wait, your expression is scaring me. I want you to heal my injuries, not kill me once and for all. I will fight back." Bai Zhi pulled out a dagger, looking wary.

“Uh…” The female hunter was taken aback, her tone a little embarrassed: “(1) Lin Yi’s healing of injuries (9) seems to be VIII. I was wondering why you didn’t stand up.”

In the past, she had suffered a lot of harassment because of her appearance. Although Bai Zhi looked like she was in distress, the clothes she was wearing were made of the finest fabrics, making her look like a noblewoman. However, it seems that she had misunderstood.

"Don't worry, our relationship is purely one of commission and trust. You heal me, I pay you, and then we go our separate ways."

Bai Zhi spoke very seriously and absolutely.

In ancient Greece, people not only had to stay away from goddesses, but also from beautiful women.

After all, the origins of almost all Greek heroes are related to beautiful women, and their ultimate fates are also connected to beautiful women.

For example, Bai Zhi herself eventually fell victim to Medea.

One of the lessons learned from the past is a warning for the future.

Moreover, there was Zeus, the greatest stallion in Greek mythology.

There was no question of whether a woman was beautiful, regardless of her status, the occasion, or her past; he would impregnate her without any psychological pressure. Seventy percent of the Greek demigods were children of Zeus.

Bai Zhi didn't want to be cuckolded and raise a demigod's offspring.

Moreover, after Zeus left, Hera's jealousy also had to be borne by the victim.

Bai Zhi hoped that her relationship with the deity would simply be that of a believer and a follower.

The female hunter examined the money in the small bag; it contained a considerable amount of silver coins.

Although she was a well-known hunter with enough prey to live comfortably, she was still human. Her daily needs, including the maintenance of her bow and arrows, medicinal herbs, and clothing, all required money.

“Alright, I accept your commission, swearing on the honor of the moon goddess Artemis.” The huntress put away her reward and approached Bai Zhi to examine his injuries. She swore an oath to put Bai Zhi at ease, which was also a matter of her faith.

Artemis is not only the goddess of the hunt, but also the goddess who nurtures her.

She was an abandoned baby who was raised by the goddess Artemis with the milk of a mother bear and vowed to follow Artemis for the rest of her life.

“You can call me Atalanta.” Atalanta introduced herself, her brows gradually furrowing. Bai Zhi’s injuries were much more serious than they appeared.

"The fractures and other injuries are alright. With your physical condition, bone setting and some herbal medicine will be fine. The main problem is your lower back; you'll need to rest for a while. Let's calculate the compensation. The calculation is spot on. You truly are a nobleman." Atalanta weighed the compensation. After the rest period, the money would be used up.

“However, you’ve chosen the wrong person. It’s a dog-eat-dog world. I only know how to find food for myself. If you want to eat, go hunt for yourself… What’s with that look?” Atalanta noticed Bai Zhi’s shocked expression and changed her tone slightly: “I can take you hunting. You just need to watch the prey. I can share some food with you. You still have the strength.”

"...No, I do have some tricks up my sleeve...You are Atalanta, the Arcadian huntress Atalanta?"

The Kingdom of Aeolus is quite a distance from Arcadia. Bai Zhi doesn't believe that someone could reach Arcadia by simply drifting on a river without divine intervention.

“My reputation has even spread to the kingdom’s noble circles.” Atalanta sneered disdainfully. In her eyes, it was only because of her appearance that the nobles knew about her.

“I am Diomedes, you may call me Angelica.”

"Angelica dahurica..."

The name Atalanta is difficult to pronounce due to its different art style.

"No, never mind. I'll leave my injuries to you for now. As for my role..." Bai Zhi's arm enveloped Atalanta in wisps of white light.

"Light manipulation, my ability, can temporarily enhance physical attributes and also has a slow healing effect on injuries."

The Greek Runaway Prince: Chapter Four - The Moon Goddess's Evening Invitation

The law of survival in the jungle.

Follow the river, and you'll find people wherever there's water.

Look, there's a little blond guy up ahead. If we can catch him, dinner will be taken care of for today. All we have to do is sneak up quietly, rip off his head, and we can eat him.

The black bear lowered its body, its soft, warm flesh pressing silently onto the grass, as it stealthily approached its prey. Once within attack range, the black bear swung its powerful arm.

Suddenly, a burst of light flashed, blinding its eyes. Its arm seemed to have collided with a solid wall, only shattering after three seconds. Unfortunately, the prey had already vanished from the spot.

"Roar!"

Waving its arms wildly, the black bear roared and finally calmed down after a long while. It rubbed its eyes and tried to open them, but a cold glint flashed in its eyes, and a sharp pain shot through them. Then it lost consciousness.

boom.

"No matter how many times I see it, your skill always amazes me."

With a wobbly gait, Bai Zhi approached from behind the tree, smashed the black bear's head with a punch, and finished it off with a stab. She then skillfully began to process the bear's carcass, preparing for a barbecue in the wild.

"My archery skills were taught by Lady Artemis."

Atalanta leaped down from the tree, cut off two bear paws, and began processing the black bear's valuable liver and gallbladder. The remaining meat would be their food for the day.

Bai Zhi had no objections; he would rely on Atalanta for support during his recovery. However, he was a little puzzled: "Is this forest teeming with bears? I haven't encountered any other animals besides black bears these past few days."

"According to intelligence, a bear-like monster has run into the forest, and all the other animals have been driven to other forests. My purpose in entering the forest this time is to kill this monster and offer it to Lady Artemis as my coming-of-age ceremony."

The two spent several days together, and their relationship grew a little closer. At least Atalanta stopped looking at him with such a burdensome gaze. The turning point was probably when Bai Zhi first attracted a black bear.

God knows why he was always treated as prey; it felt like he was under a debuff that attracted hatred.

"I remember you were raised on bear milk, so hunting black bears now seems a bit inappropriate," Bai Zhi said, stretching after dealing with the black bear.

"How did you know?" Atalanta drew her bow again.

“We’ve known each other for a while now, so we’re practically friends. This isn’t really appropriate for you.” The bowstring tightened even more in response. Bai Zhi sighed, feeling annoyed that she had let something slip. She retorted, “You’re more famous than you think. The female hunter from Arcadia who was raised by a mother bear—you can ask around in the surrounding towns and people will talk about her.”

Atalanta was still somewhat distrustful, but she still put down her bow and arrow: "The mother bear that fed me is Lady Artemis's divine beast, which cannot be compared to these wild beasts driven away by magical beasts."

Bai Zhi nodded, which resolved her doubts.

Before long, wisps of smoke rose from the forest. Atalanta was confident in her abilities, or rather, she was confident that she could outrun Bai Zhi, so she had no worries.

It should be the former; Atalanta's faith in Artemis had reached the level of fanaticism.

Under the moonlight, Atalanta, having finished her dinner, leaped to the treetop, leaned against the trunk, squinted, and held her bow and arrows in her arms.

Atalanta, who was asleep, looked serene and comfortable.

Unfortunately, this was just a facade. Once someone approached, a fatal attack would follow. Bai Zhi withdrew her gaze. At that moment, the crescent moon hung high in the sky, just as the appointed time had arrived.

Running briskly, she showed none of the staggering she had during the day. With her enhanced physique, Bai Zhi's recovery far exceeded both her own and Atalanta's expectations.

If it weren't for other reasons, Bai Zhi might have left Atalanta long ago and embarked on her own journey. Why would she continue to stay by her side?

As for the culprit, Bai Zhi searched for her memories and arrived at the lakeside in the forest.

As he walked through the grass, the lake shimmered with a silvery glow under the moonlight. Against this backdrop, the silver-haired goddess, seated atop a golden-horned deer, gazed at him with a charming smile.

Taking a deep breath, Bai Zhi bowed respectfully with a stiff smile and said, "Lady Artemis, thank you for your trouble tonight."

“Little Diomedes, relax. You are my follower, and you and Atalanta are both my children.” She blinked her beautiful blue eyes, smiled, and stroked Bai Zhi’s golden hair, saying, “It is only natural for me to teach you.”

Bai Zhi smiled in response. No one knew how explosive his heart was when he met the moon goddess Artemis on the night he entrusted Atalanta with the task.
