Chapter 518
【As soon as Hippomenes finished speaking, his gaze was drawn to the stunning figure in the field, comparable to Artemis, and then...】
【"Ah! Is she Princess Atalanta? She is truly too beautiful!"】
【Then, Hippomenes trotted over to Atalanta's front; he directly blocked Atalanta and said loudly,】
【"What's the point of racing against these people with stiff limbs and no strength? If you have the ability, race me!"】
【"If the Moirai (Goddesses of Fate) favor me, then I will surely win! Almost forgot, my name is Hippomenes, a disciple of the great Chiron, and the great-grandson of the Sea God Poseidon! If you can defeat me! Then you will gain true honor!"】
"This man, is he sick?" Atalanta helplessly rolled her eyes at him.
What's wrong with this person? Didn't he see that it was because these suitors were pestering me that I had to resort to this desperate measure?
However, Atalanta was also a hero; she couldn't go back on her word.
Thus, Atalanta agreed to Hippomenes' challenge.
It's just that Atalanta didn't know that Hippomenes wasn't an ordinary person either.
On the other side, Lin Ye's Clairvoyance perspective.
【At night, Hippomenes knelt before the statue of the Goddess of Beauty, Aphrodite; he prayed to the Goddess of Beauty. And unexpectedly, the Goddess of Beauty actually descended!】
【"Atalanta? She seems to like that guy... Since that's the case... Alright! I grant your request."】
【Aphrodite nodded, then she directly took out three golden apples and threw them to Hippomenes, saying,】
【"These are beautiful golden apples; no woman can resist their magic. During the race, you just need to throw them on the ground, and Atalanta won't be able to help but pick them up."】
【Hearing the Goddess of Beauty's words, Hippomenes was overjoyed.】
【Second year, February 21st:】
【"Go!"】
【Following the referee's order, Atalanta and Hippomenes began to run at the same time!】
【"So fast!"】
【Hippomenes looked at Atalanta running in front of him; he finally couldn't help but take out the first golden apple and throw it in front of Atalanta.】
【"This is... such a beautiful golden apple..."】
【In an instant, Atalanta seemed to have been hit by a charm spell; her body couldn't help but squat down, however...】
【"No littering on the race track!"】
【A masked man appeared from nowhere and picked up the golden apple a step ahead. Seeing the golden apple picked up, Atalanta shook her head and ran toward the finish line again.】
【Hippomenes...】
【Damn it! Where did you come from! Do you know you're very much in the way!】
【"Doesn't matter, I have more!"】
【Hippomenes hurriedly took out another golden apple and threw it in front of Atalanta!】
【Then...】
【"Whose golden apple is this! If no one claims it, it's mine!"】
【That masked person popped out from nowhere again and picked up the golden apple a step ahead!】
【Hippomenes: "I!!!"】
【Hippomenes was stunned! Are you sent by God to punish me!】
【"The last one! Venus! Please help me! I'm throwing it again!"】
【Hippomenes threw the last golden apple; this time, he finally saw the golden apple roll smoothly in front of Atalanta! And Atalanta even saw this golden apple!】
【However, for some reason, this golden apple suddenly turned into a flower with six petals, red on the outside and white on the inside, in full view of everyone...】
【"Damn it!!!"】
【Hippomenes went crazy; he looked at the person wearing the mask! At this moment, he understood everything!】
【It's him! It must be him!】
【And that man even reached out a hand toward him and made a 'go for it' gesture.】
【Go for it? Right! I'm still in the race!】
【Hippomenes hurriedly turned his head, but the next second he was stunned in place, because at this moment, Atalanta was already waving to everyone at the finish line!】
【"I... lost..."】
【Hippomenes suddenly looked at the masked man; he immediately rushed toward that man, but the next second, golden chains appeared out of thin air and tied him up tightly!】
【And at this time, the masked man came before him, took off his mask, revealed a handsome face, looked at him, and said,】
【"It's just a race, and you're using underhanded tactics; shameful."】
【"You!!"】 【Hippomenes wanted to say something, but the next second he saw the goddess-like beautiful Atalanta throw herself into Lin Ye's arms!】
【At that moment, Hippomenes' heart shattered...】
【You... if you had a boyfriend, you should have said so earlier!!! Heavens! What kind of sin have I committed!!】
"Lin Ye!!!" Atalanta looked at Lin Ye happily. Sure enough, he was back; he had come to find her!
Her waiting hadn't been in vain.
【However, looking at Atalanta in his arms, Lin Ye suddenly said,】
【"Atalanta! I want to race you too!"】
【"Ah?"】 【Hearing Lin Ye's words, Atalanta was also stunned for a moment, but she still nodded. "Alright, I accept your challenge!"】
【Right! Challenge him! Defeat him!】
【On the side, the tightly bound Hippomenes was still watching this scene excitedly; he didn't believe that this Lin Ye could outrun Atalanta!】
【"Start!"】
【Following the referee's order, in an instant, two figures shot out like two arrows!】
【The two figures were neck and neck! However, just when the two figures were one-tenth of the way from the finish line, suddenly!】
【"Ouch!"】
【Atalanta sat on the ground, and then she rubbed her ankle aggrievedly on the side; it looked like she had sprained her foot.】
【However...】
【Atalanta! Don't you feel your acting is a bit too clumsy!】
【Lin Ye reached the finish line, and all the spectators cheered! And amidst the cheers, Lin Ye walked silently toward Atalanta, helped the "sprained" Atalanta up from the ground, and then took out three golden apples and said to Atalanta,】
【"Atalanta, I didn't bring you a gift when I came back, but luckily I picked up three golden apples just now, so may I ask... are you willing to marry me and be together forever? Beautiful Princess."】
【"I... I do!!!"】 【Atalanta shouted these three words almost without hesitation.】
【And the moment Atalanta nodded, the entire audience cheered for the two!】
【Except for one person... Hippomenes, who was about to be sent to a deserted island to mine.】
【"Are you guys... even human! Ah!!!"】
A conclusion where no one is hurt, that's really great.
