Chapter 203 Becoming Atalanta's Fiancé

If Atalanta had just picked up the golden apple thrown in front of her, Hippomenes would not have been able to surpass Atalanta.

But Atalanta turned around and ran back to pick up the golden apple on the ground behind her, which made it possible for Hippomenes to surpass Atalanta.

Seeing this scene, Luo Yin was full of contempt for Hippomenes.

Hippomenes was indeed a waste like Yin Asong. He had no ability to complete the test. He could only rely on the help of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, to brainwash Atalanta and Medea, who were like goddesses, and finally got together with them.

After Atalanta picked up the golden apple in a daze, she saw that she was already a long distance away from Hippomenes. Atalanta did not care about her mistake because she was confident that she could surpass Hippomenes again before reaching the finish line.

At this time, Luo Yin slowly ran to Atalanta and said to Atalanta, who was stunned with the golden apple.

"Atalanta! Even if Hippomenes is a tortoise and you are the fastest rabbit, if you keep wasting time like this, Hippomenes will reach the finish line before you."

Atalanta immediately came to his senses and said.

"This little mistake will not change the result of victory. I didn't use all my strength just now."

After saying that, Atalanta gritted her teeth and chased Hippomenes like a swift female leopard.

In a blink of an eye, Atalanta not only surpassed Luo Yin at the speed of the wind, but also shortened the distance between her and Hippomenes.

At this time, there was still half the distance to the finish line.

Perhaps the golden apple would lose its attraction to Atalanta when it was beyond a certain distance from Atalanta.

Just when the distance between Atalanta and Hippomenes was about to exceed 100 meters, Hippomenes threw the second golden apple.

Atalanta immediately turned around and picked up the golden apple again as if she was brainwashed.

Using this opportunity, Hippomenes surpassed Atalanta for the second time.

When Atalanta picked up the second golden apple, Luo Yin ran to her and asked.

"Atalanta! What's wrong with you? You are running in front and can't see the golden apples behind you. Why do you turn around to pick up these golden apples?"

Atalanta said angrily while speeding up to catch up with Hippomenes.

"How do I know what's going on? As long as I hear the sound of these golden apples falling to the ground, my mind will become blank. When I wake up, I find that I have picked up the golden apples and Hippomenes has run ahead of me. If this happens again, I will really lose the game and be forced to marry Hippomenes who uses despicable means."

"I won't let Hippomenes use this method to beat you and force you to marry this incompetent waste."

After saying this with a smile, Luo Yin also began to speed up.

When the three people were about to reach the finish line——

Atalanta once again surpassed Hippomenes, and Luo Yin also ran behind him.

Seeing Atalanta getting closer and closer to the finish line, Hippomenes finally threw out the third golden apple.

The next moment!

Luo Yin came to Hippomenes with the speed of teleportation and grabbed the golden apple. Then, under the incredible and shocked gaze of Hippomenes, Luo Yin easily surpassed Atalanta and reached the finish line first.

"Give it to me! Give it to me quickly!"

Atalanta chased Luo Yin to the top of the hill. Her eyes were always attracted by the golden apple in Luo Yin's hand. She even reached out to snatch the golden apple from Luo Yin.

Luo Yin took the golden apple in his hand and said to Hippomenes, who looked distraught.

"Poor Hippomenes, when you threw the third golden apple, you must have felt that the goddess of victory had descended upon you, and Atalanta would become your wife. Now your dream is shattered, and you have to accept the punishment of failure and be killed by Atalanta. Are you very desperate in your heart?"

"It turns out that you have the speed of a god. Even if I have the golden apple, I am doomed to fail."

Hippomenes said with a self-deprecating smile.

"You deliberately ran behind me, just to see my miserable appearance!"

Luo Yin did not deny it. Looking at Atalanta who pounced on him to snatch the golden apple, Luo Yin said with a playful smile.

"Atalanta! Hurry up and punish Hippomenes. After he is punished, I will give you the golden apple."

"Punishment..."

Atalanta was like a brainwashed person who received an order, drew the dagger at his waist and walked towards Hippomenes.

With a puff!

Atalanta stabbed the dagger into Hippomenes' heart.

Hippomenes stood there without dodging Atalanta's attack.

After completing Luo Yin's request, Atalanta turned around and threw herself into Luo Yin's arms, snatching the golden apple again.

"Give it to me... give it to me quickly..."

"Don't worry, I'll give it to you now."

As he spoke, Luo Yin let go of his hand, letting the golden apple fall into Atalanta's hands.

The moment Atalanta regained consciousness after getting the golden apple, not only did the three golden apples in her hand disappear at the same time, but even Hippomenes' body disappeared, leaving only Atalanta's dagger.

Atalanta, who regained consciousness, saw herself lying in Luo Yin's arms, with her hands raised up as if to hug Luo Yin's neck. Her pretty face immediately turned red, and she shouted in shame and anger.

"What do you want to do to me?"

Luo Yin said with an innocent look on his face, spreading his hands.

"I should be the one who said this! After all, it's you who is holding me, not me who is holding you."

At this time, Assos, Ariadne, and Philopia came to the top of the hill in a carriage.

Seeing Atalanta lying in Luo Yin's arms, Yin Assos said happily.

"Atalanta, I was indeed right to hold a proposal competition for you. Now the husband who can beat you with speed and win your heart has finally appeared."

Seeing that not only Atalanta, but also Yinsos was indifferent to the disappearance of Hippomenes, as if Hippomenes never existed from the beginning, Luo Yin couldn't help but say.

"I'm not the only one competing with Atalanta in the marriage proposal competition today!"

"What weird things are you saying?"

Atalanta left Luo Yin's arms and said full of doubts.

"Who else is the suitor who wants to compete with me today besides you?"

Luo Yin frowned and said after hearing Atalanta's words.

"Is it because Hippomenes is a fictional character made up by people hundreds of years later, so after he is killed, he will disappear completely? The same seems to be true for Manto, the priestess of Apollo. After disappearing completely, it is like from They didn't exist in the first place and no one would even remember them."

Yin Assos came to Luo Yin with joy and said.

"Dear Haemon! Because Atalanta has superhuman speed, I am really worried that she will not be able to marry, and I will have no grandson to inherit my throne. You defeated Atalanta in the courtship competition, and now you are Atalanta Lante’s fiancé, I will hold a wedding for you as soon as possible.”

"Brother is mine!"

Ariadne immediately threw herself into Luo Yin's arms, hugged Luo Yin's neck with both hands, and said to Atalanta and Assos.

"Now Atalanta can abide by the marriage contract and become his brother's concubine, but she is not qualified to hold a wedding with her brother and become his main wife."
