Chapter 557 - 47: Your Girlfriend Is About to Die...
It looks painful just to watch.
But she seemed to feel nothing, silently ascending.
Beginning to climb the mountain.
From then on, she never looked once at the white petals fluttering in the wind.
At the end of the road, at the mountain’s summit pass.
Two statues that looked like people stood on each side, their features blurred and indistinct. You could barely discern they seemed to wear armor, holding long halberds, facing each other.
The young girl... or rather, the young woman looked at the two statues, undeterred, and continued forward.
Crack——
The two statues made a cracking sound, with debris continually falling off them.
As if they were trying to come to life.
But before they could come alive, the young woman had already walked past them.
The moment she stepped past.
Her figure vanished like clouds and smoke, instantly disappearing.
Boom——
And the two statues suddenly exploded, turning directly into dust, vanishing like smoke!
At the same time.
Xia Yue had just arrived at the peak of Kunlun Mountain, barely steadying herself.
Chai Pool’s roar suddenly rang out, crying out with bloodcurdling fury, "Heretic!!!!"
Xia Yue turned her head, looking at Chai Pool, whose eyes were blood-red, appearing to have completely lost his rationality, and was slightly taken aback, "So quickly... you’ve been corrupted again?"
But Chai Pool ignored her completely, not even mentioning Chen Lusi this time, directly charging at Xia Yue.
As if he had truly lost all sanity.
"..."
Xia Yue glanced at the distant towering Bronze Gate, remained silent for a moment, and once again raised her fist.
...
The horse-faced man sat in a quiet little room, with wisps of yellow aura continuously emanating from him.
Suddenly.
The door was pushed open.
A female elder walked in.
The horse-faced man eyes snapped open, staring at the female elder who seemed both familiar and foreign, studying the unfamiliar emerald eyes, squinting slightly as if confirming something.
"Long time no see."
The female elder spoke first, then sat down beside the horse-faced man.
The horse-faced man confirmed it.
What sat in front of him was not the female elder, but rather Hecate.
"I’ve been waiting for your response."
Hecate looked at the horse-faced man, straightforwardly and calmly said, "I know the decision isn’t easy, but I hope you don’t keep me waiting too long. After all, what is done in uncertainty and what is done once matters are clear are two different things. The value isn’t the same, and I trust you understand this."
"How did you borrow her time? Is it borrowing? Or is it substituting?"
The horse-faced man did not answer, as if not understanding. He merely pointed at the body Hecate was borrowing, calmly asking a question.
"..."
Hecate furrowed her brow, and instead of speaking, she looked quietly at him.
The horse-faced man remained silent too, as if waiting for her to give an answer.
"It seems you still have feelings for this nation."
After a period of silence.
Hecate seemed to pull at the corners of her mouth, then slowly stood up, confidently saying, "It seems I overestimated you... I understand, I’ll be back, and by then, I’ll show you my sincerity. But... by then, your value will not be as it is now."
Having said this.
She intended to turn and leave directly.
But at that moment.
The horse-faced man suddenly said, "...The sincerity you’re referring to, does it mean the East Sea Coastline over there?"
"..."
Hecate paused mid-step, then turned back around.
At this moment, she still didn’t know what had happened on Hank Machado’s end.
She came this time, thinking the horse-faced man would get news, deliberately to probe a bit and showcase some strength.
She hadn’t expected.
The other side seemed unaware of anything, greatly disappointing her.
However.
Just as she was about to leave, the other side suddenly brought up the matter again, clearly aware of what happened over there...
So, waiting for the best offer?
Hecate looked at the horse-faced man, a faint, slightly mocking smile appearing on her face. She was just about to speak: "You..."
The horse-faced man directly interrupted her, then gently clenched his fist, mocking, "Seems that’s it... and your sincerity is truly grand, having the Celestial Strategy Mansion send a whole convoy to pick up people, transporting them one carload after another to the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters."
"..."
Hecate’s pupils suddenly shrank, "...What do you mean?"
