Today's third update: Chapter 2921! 3/4!
The battle between the Huang Race and the Frog Race ended up feeling somewhat anticlimactic. In the end, the side that suffered the greatest losses was neither the attacking Huang Race nor the challenged Frog Race, but... the Black Tortoise Race!
Who the hell could they complain to about that?
Yanran and fewer than eight hundred others returned with Chan Meili. They waited for several days in the empty Huang Race command center, and Chan Meili had nearly run out of patience and begun to regret coming.
Fortunately, Xu Kun appeared in time.
"Master, your disciple has lived up to your expectations and returned with the Frog Race's leader—the Frog Consort of the Black Tortoise Race's Eighth Prince, Chan Meili."
"I am Chan Meili. Greetings, Lord Huang." Out of respect for Xu Kun's strength, Chan Meili gave a slight bow.
Seeing A Li and the others wearing expressions that clearly awaited praise, Xu Kun was dumbfounded as well.
After completing part of his work, he sensed Yanran's group returning and emerged from seclusion to meet them.
But he had imagined many possible outcomes. One was that they failed to capture Chan Meili. Since she already knew Xiao Huang had intervened, if Chan Meili had died, he planned to mobilize his army and flatten the Frog Race. If she had not died, he would personally make a move and kill her.
The second possibility was naturally that they succeeded in capturing her. In that case, now that he had appeared, he could directly kill Chan Meili, the prisoner.
Yet now, seeing Chan Meili still bowing to him, Xu Kun briefly doubted his life.
She was alone and completely unrestrained. She looked less like a captive and more like a guest visiting the Huang Race
