’Living is a good thing. Even if I die, Li will meet someone who loves him in the long run. Someone I can love like this, how could no one love him back?”
Shen Da smiled
‘Your Highness, you two seem to be having a disagreement… Let me get this straight… Your Highness regrets it?‘
’The Lord of the City is right. If Tonglu hadn’t insisted on killing his own brother, Junxu would have let go long ago.‘
Tongli turned his head to the side, his face full of indignation
’You!!‘
Shen Da asked with interest
’Is Your Highness willing to let him go now?‘
’If… the Lord of the City is willing to let him live freely according to his own wishes, Junxu is willing.’
‘I wonder…what price would Your Highness be willing to pay?‘
’To be a slave in life and a wandering soul in death, never to rise again, for all eternity!”
At this point, it became tragic. In the midst of the grand banquet, apart from the crackling sound of the candles, not even a breath could be heard. Junxu’s voice was different from her usual calm tone, every word carrying great weight and resounding with authority.
Everyone was sweating with fear. Jun Xu was like a swimming dragon guarding the dragon pearl with her body and her eyes closed. No one had not heard of how she had stopped thousands of enemies single-handedly, but at the banquet, everyone inevitably looked down on her. Besides, her attitude was really ambiguous and weak.
She looked like a ball of cotton, but in fact she was a guillotine…
Shen Da’s heart also felt a chill. Having been the city lord for so long, she knew very well who could be bullied and who could not. Should such a person be killed? Or not?
‘…I’m afraid I won’t be able to let General Tong go.’
‘Junxu knows in his heart that the city lord was able to take her in, which saved Li’er’s life. Junxu will be eternally grateful.’
‘Your Highness, please rise.’
Junxu bowed again and got up.
Shen Da’s eyes widened slightly, his sharp gaze making everyone else fall silent.
‘It’s late at night, and we’ve caused enough trouble. Let’s go!’
