Chapter 51
Demon-Suppressing City of Wu Kingdom.
A man sat on the city lord’s throne, crafted entirely from skulls.
Clad in dark iron-blue armor, the man was burly and broad-shouldered, towering at a height of nearly 15 feet, like a small giant. A scar ran across his face, giving him an intimidating appearance.
Grabbing a wine jar, he gulped it down in one go, the sound of “glug-glug-glug” filling the room.
Wiping his mouth, the man turned his gaze to an imperial decree lying on the table. The more he read, the more troubled he seemed, scratching his head with his calloused hand, a look of confusion written all over his face.
His puzzled expression was a stark contrast to his fearsome appearance and massive frame.
In front of the man stood a young girl.
She was about four feet tall, appearing no older than eight or nine. Her small, pointed face was exquisitely delicate, as if crafted with the utmost care by the heavens.
But she was not like ordinary children.
