Thousands of Love

The white mist gradually dissipated from the sacred pagoda of Silan City, and Yu Zhizhi could see from afar a river of red blood flowing at the base of the pagoda. The radiance of the blazing sun was obliterated, and the entire land seemed dark and cold, like a vast tomb.

Everyone thought of the original Silan City, where corpses were scattered all over the ground.

The Duke's figure appeared on the top of the tower.

The white wedding gown was soaked in blood, and there were hideous bloodstains on Bo Leng's face. His deep golden vertical pupils stared at the snake elder who had not yet closed his eyes. The body of the female king serpent was already cold. The attendant following behind the Duke held it in his hands, and the cold sea breeze blew up the scattered petals in his hands.

Yu Zhizhi never imagined that something like this would happen on the Duke's wedding day.

She stared at the Duke high up in the sky, as if she was seeing him for the first time.

The Duke today is very strange.

The strong feeling of oppression almost made her forget to breathe.

Noel looked at the sea of ​​corpses. In the white mist, his animal form was exposed, with his black rabbit ears standing upright.

He held Yu Zhizhi's wrist with one hand.

The other hand held the waist...

Lucky bag.

After making sure that the Duke's killing had stopped, the rabbit boy slowly loosened his fingers.

"Mr. Duke..."

A highly respected middle-aged male from the Serpent Clan spoke tremblingly, "The Chilian Clan has already paid the price. Please, Your Excellency, spare Elder Shen."

The Chilian clan was almost wiped out.

No one dared to say anything.

Everyone knew that the bride's assassination was most likely related to them.

Elder Chi Lian had gray hair and bloodshot eyes, but unfortunately the root of his tongue had been cut off by the mist blade, so he could not say anything.

The Duke glanced at him.

The middle-aged male immediately shut up.

"Someone is coming."

The Duke's cold voice came from the top: "Please invite Elder Shen into the Holy Tower."

The armored snake guards appeared in everyone's sight.

They lifted up Elder Chi Lian and walked towards the Holy Pagoda.

It was supposed to be a day of celebration for the whole country, but unexpectedly it turned into a sacrifice for the Chilian clan.

Even Elder Shen Ye, who was the leader of the five elders of the Snake Clan, was forcibly "invited" into the Holy Tower by the Duke.

That place, there is no return.

Hearing the Duke's order, Elder Chi Lian trembled with anger, his eyes almost popping out.

If I had known this would happen, I should have drowned him in the cold bottom of the pool!

This little snake shouldn't be allowed to inherit the position of the leader of the snake clan!

Elder Chi Lian was quickly taken away.

The vast majority of those killed in this massacre were snakes from the Chilian clan.

There are also some orcs with suspicious identities...

The Duke's powerful mental strength gradually returned. He stood on the top of the tower, like an evil god who had fallen into the abyss, with a pair of golden snake eyes that made people dare not look directly at him.

"Your Majesty the Duke."

The personal servant carried the body of the female elaphe snake and asked, "Miss Yu Xiang, where do you want to bury her?"

The Duke's eyes didn't change at all. He was silent for a moment, then said, "Bring him back to the imperial capital."

"Yes."

The attendant responded.

Among the many orcs present, no one dared to say anything at this time, especially the snake tribe.

Shen He's overflowing mental power has also been restrained.

He returned to his usual posture, leaning back in his chair, looking thoughtfully at the bloody scene.

This civil war within the snake clan came earlier than he had imagined.

The Duke's hostility was also swept away.

He looked at the crowd below and said, "Today's incident is due to the poor hospitality of our Snake Clan. Silan City will hold a seven-day banquet. Please enjoy yourself."

After saying that, his eyes fell on the rabbit girl.

"Miss Zhizhi has done me the honor of coming here, and this is how you treat her?"

The personal attendant lowered his head and replied, "It was our negligence."

The Duke looked away.

His attitude towards this extremely noble female of the Valoran Empire was neither good nor bad.

There was a past between them.

When Miss Zhizhi was still just an S-rank female, she lived in the Duke's Mansion for a while.

But this matter is rarely mentioned.

Miss Zhizhi's current beast husband is recorded as Tang Luoke, the war machine of the Valoran Empire, and the Lord of Paradise of the Moonrise Empire.

Except them.

There are some other scandals.

The higher the level of the beast tribe female, the greater the choice she has.

This time he came to the wedding, hiding his identity, and it seemed that he came simply to accompany Lord Shenhe of the Deep Sea Empire.

The only connection between her and the Duke was probably the six little snakes.

but.

For a duke of his status, information about his offspring would never be leaked.

No one knows what happened to the six snake cubs.

The living environment of the snake tribe is harsh.

Some of them may have died.

Yu Zhizhi didn't expect that the Duke would actually mention her on his own initiative. She didn't say a word until the Duke's figure disappeared at the top of the holy tower. Then she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Before she could say anything, she saw the snake guards coming up to her in an orderly manner.

The young guard first saluted Yu Zhizhi.

Then he turned to the man beside him and said, "Lord Shen He, the joint meeting of the three empires is about to begin. Please come with us to the meeting room."

This time in Silan City, in addition to the Duke's wedding, there was also another meeting of the three empires regarding the truce regulations.

Just as that happened, in the blink of an eye, the corpses on the ground had been cleaned up, as if everything had returned to the eve of the wedding.

Shen He glanced at the little rabbit beside him and said, "Go back to the boat and rest first. I'll come find you after the meeting."

Yu Zhizhi nodded gently: "Hmm~"

The snake guard looked at the black rabbit boy again and said, "Master Noel, we need you to take another look at the injuries of the King of the Cotton Snake Clan."

Noel raised his eyelids slightly: "One day later, you won't die."

Snake guard: "..."

Nuoer looked at Yu Zhizhi and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to treat your friend? Lead the way."

Yu Zhizhi readily responded, "Okay, it's on the boat."

Lord Shenhe also asked her to return to the warship first.

Although the Duke spoke in that way, anyone who heard it would think it was just a polite remark. Any empire would treat a female of Yu Zhizhi's rank with the highest etiquette.

Yu Zhizhi is still a little confused.

Si Lancheng gave her a feeling of being a little dangerous.

She also wanted to go back to the boat.

Yu Zhizhi and Noel followed behind Bri.

She looked back with lingering fear. The orcs at the scene left one after another. The strict snake guards were wearing the same dark blue uniforms. They maintained order at the scene. Everything that happened in the holy tower before was hidden in the wind.

The life or death of the snake elder who was brought into the holy tower is unknown.

"They...why?"

Yu Zhizhi was confused.

Why did you kill Miss Yu Xiang?

As a rabbit from the Valoran Empire, Noel didn't care about what happened today. No matter how many people died, he was not interested.

But since she asked—

Noel responded seriously, "There are many reasons. It could be the Chilian clan's rebellion, the Duke's personal vendetta, or a prophecy from many years ago."
