Chapter 26: Death Platform

The weather was pleasant on the day of the meeting with Lin Lin.

Yuncheng was not a tourist city, so even during the holidays, the crowds remained sparse.

They arranged to meet in the city center, which, aged and weathered, had not changed much from the past.

Even though some time had passed since they last met, Lu Jinzhao spotted Lin Lin in the crowd at first glance.

Why was the darling of the crowd truly a darling? Aside from her personality, there was naturally another major reason: her beauty.

With her exquisite features...

Ling Duayu then took his leave and departed. Naturally, Zhao Gongming and the others did not mention any form of compensation for Ling Duayu. Ling Duayu knew that the situation was such that the greater the initial doubt, the more generous Zhao Gongming's eventual reward would be.

Too few people had ever laid eyes on the great azure bull, leaving everyone unable to believe that the Shi Yu clan's crisis this time had been resolved in such an inexplicable manner?

Just as the two of them were voicing their deep sighs, Galademos was carefully examining the boundary stones at the edge of the field and estimating its area with the naked eye.

Back in Cannes, because Cheng Shiyuan had to stay behind, he had instructed Li Meng to return to the country first.

As one number after another was announced, the expressions of the crowd shifted gradually from astonishment to sheer shock.

Every pitiable person has their detestable side, and conversely, every detestable side conceals a trace of the pitiable.

Taking in the scene before them, Tao Sanjue and Huang Ling both excused themselves and withdrew. Mei Feixue hastily led them to another room for tea, leaving the space to Ling Duayu and Wu Guangming.

"Indeed, it is allied with Tarentum and capable of allying with Thurii; why can it not form an alliance with us?!" Melanchius argued forcefully.

However, upon seeing Tu Kuang brandish his blade and charge once again, all eyes were drawn back to him.

In order to better control the Numidian region, the Carthaginians had long maintained a garrison of twenty thousand troops in the interior to suppress rebellions and uprisings among the Numidian tribes at any moment, thereby preserving regional stability. Since the outbreak of the war with Dionea, however, the strength of this force had dwindled to fewer than ten thousand men.

Xia Mingxiu furrowed his brow, naturally displeased. Yet when Yuan Yao persisted and struck him again with a force that actually caused him pain, he had no choice but to yield to her wishes.

The people within the ruins of Starry Sky City had all dispersed. The onlookers waited for a while, and finding no further spectacle to watch, slowly drifted away.

Not until the two skeletons had been meticulously and properly buried did Su Pan'er pull Qin Yi down to kneel, kowtowing three resounding times toward the earthen mound before finally rising.

Yet Han Yingxue harbored no murderous intent. If she were to take a life now, there was no telling whether she would be implicated; rather than that, it was better to hand these people over to the authorities. She trusted the officials would handle the matter appropriately.

"Yuan Yao!" Ye Susu called out once more, reaching out in time to catch Yuan Yao's descending hand.

Everyone could only hear a continuous sound of popping, the ice shield trembling incessantly in a manner that made one's scalp tingle.

Two sisters, whose features bore a seventy-percent resemblance, gazed into each other's eyes. At that moment, even their expressions seemed to share a fleeting similarity.

Had Li Jingshu not stated clearly in her letter that the Marquis of Anping was none other than Li Jingjing, Li Xuanming would never have dared to recognize her as Li Jingjing when he encountered a Marquis of Anping bearing such a striking likeness to Li Jingshu along the road.

From the very first day Xia启 checked into the castle and Li Ling invited him to stay in her room, a faint suspicion had already taken root in Xia Qi's mind.

Yun Jinyao's cheeks felt somewhat warm—definitely not from the glare of the current sun, but purely because the man before her was exceptionally skilled at delivering casual sweet nothings.

In her heart, however, she resolved to observe how frogs and toads swam when no one was around; even if she failed to master it, she must never be branded with the humiliation of the "doggy paddle."

He rumbled into motion, unleashing profound techniques. Mountains of corpses and seas of blood accumulated, bones paved the ground, and the gray aura of death transformed into a black hole.

I had already fallen asleep in her car, and Lu雅萱 was hardly going to take me back to the office to work; she simply delivered me straight home.
