Chapter 686: Chapter 686: The Great Swindler, They’re All Deceiving Me
Death, it turns out, isn’t so bad after all.
At least I could be with Yu Longting...
It’s just a pity for poor Dumpling to have such an unreliable mother like me.
I couldn’t retrieve his lost soul and ended up severing myself from this world.
"Su Wan!" In the darkness, Yun Hao’s harrowing low roar came, "Am I so unworthy of your trust? I could give everything for you, my dignity, my life, my all. Why won’t you even...consent to be my mother!"
To sink, to continue sinking like this.
The tenderness and trust of anyone mean nothing.
All I want is him, I’ve always only ever wanted that one him.
Inside my soul, there was a severe pain, as if something was breaking through the earth, growing wildly.
But at that moment, my body was enveloped in a familiar biting fragrance.
A few drops of cold liquid fell on my face, and the corners of my lips curled.
Before death, could even illusions be this real?
To still feel like I’m being held in the arms of...the person I love.
Turns out, at the peak of sorrow, it truly is possible to die from a broken heart.
"Wanwan, don’t be afraid. Don’t let yourself sink; I’m still alive." When that familiar voice trembled hoarsely with sobs by my ear, my withered heart suddenly filled with vitality.
In the darkness, I searched blindly; although I couldn’t open my eyes, my hand still tightly grabbed the arm of that person, "Yu..."
"I’m here." Just those two words, spoken with a calm, magnetic voice, became a beam piercing through the darkness.
Finally chasing that voice, I opened my eyes.
My vision was still blurred and couldn’t see clearly, my throat was dry and I coughed hard a few times; he had already sent his Spiritual Power into my body, sorting out the chaotic Qi Sea.
He scooped up my back with his palm, pulling me tightly into his embrace, "Are you trying to scare me to death, Su Wan? Is your life so cheap that a few words from others can take it?"
"After all...who is scaring whom?" I weakly opened my mouth, the sound so faint I couldn’t even hear it myself.
A voice of disbelief came from above, from Yun Hao, "You clearly died in the Polar Cold Region...I saw it with my own eyes...your Life Lamp had all gone out."
"I was merely weak from the Life Lamp and entered into Tortoise Breath, ignorant mutt. My wife is in this state, are you satisfied now?" Yu Longting cursed and then said to Yan Bashui, "Lend me the Cold Moon Spring."
Yan Bashui was dumbfounded, "Help yourself...to borrow, but...what the hell...happened?"
Feeling the real embrace of Yu Longting, my hand gently lifted, wanting to touch his heart, but I had no strength.
Yu Longting continued toward the Cold Moon Spring, holding my palm, letting me touch his heart.
Drops of cold liquid kept falling onto the tip of my chin.
He must have been terrified.
My fingertips felt the strong beat of his heart; finally reassured, it wasn’t a ruse.
"Cough cough cough...Yu Longting, honestly, what were you doing in the Polar Region?"
Yu Longting, holding me, jumped into the Cold Moon Spring, "I was planning to silently heal in the Polar Region, what’s there not to trust?"
"You were waiting to die, right? I’ve never heard that the Polar Cold Region is conducive to healing." I pointed out bluntly, my chin resting weakly on Yu Longting’s shoulder.
If I didn’t understand Yun Hao, then I wouldn’t be so suspicious.
But Yun Hao is a very cautious man, one who doesn’t lie frivolously, and he came running impulsively to Tianying Village to find me.
He must have been certain that Yu Longting was beyond saving.
Yu Longting paused, then hugged me tighter without saying a word.
"Big liar, talking about Life-Exchanging Lamps, it was all to deceive me, making me think you wouldn’t die." I’ve never hated him so much, not even when he teased me, caused my pregnancy, I never loathed him as I do now, detesting his actions, "Blinding Method...you directly loaned your Life Lamp to me, and exchanging it with me...both are leading to the same end. With a piece of junk in your body...and you have suffered so many injuries, with so little cultivation left, how can you go on living?"
