Perhaps, just like he said, you’re also nothing but a pawn, pitiful indeed!
Yes, Gu Youyou felt a pang of pain in her heart, furrowing her brows and scoffing softly, "You are also nothing more than a pawn, how pitiful! You’re even more miserable than I am, at least I’m conscious, while you... If I’m not mistaken, the extra bowl of medicine you drank must be the one that clouded your mind!"
Gu Youyou looked at that wild man struggling desperately with Jin Zijin, then turned to face this man. She sighed, deftly undoing his ropes, and said, "No matter who he is or what kind of relationship you have with him, you need to get as far away from him as possible. What’s the use of him desperately protecting you? Isn’t letting you live in a daze crueler than killing you?"
This silly man, clearly not understanding anything, but at this moment, he seemed to vaguely comprehend, tilting his head and looking at Gu Youyou, even giving a slight nod!
Gu Youyou was startled, managing to force a smile, and said softly, "I don’t know if you understood me or not, but anyway... now that I’ve freed you, you should run. Run as far as you can, and if you manage to survive... and get even luckier to one day come to your senses, then go find the person who harmed you!
One can’t live a cowering life. Whoever owes you, you go and demand it back from them..."
The ropes were already undone, Gu Youyou pushed the man, but he just curiously looked at Gu Youyou, completely unmoved.
Gu Youyou grew somewhat annoyed, shoving him hard, and scolded, "Well, aren’t you going to run? What are those long legs for, to pose with?"
From a distance, Jin Zijin noticed that Gu Youyou had released the man, his gaze gradually darkening, he struck the wild man again and started running in this direction.
But at this moment, the wild man was like a crazed monkey, utterly disregarding the multiple wounds on his body, at all costs to stop Jin Zijin.
Ahead was a deep cliff that plummeted into nothingness, the wild man’s eyes filled with frenzied excitement.
With this leap, he finally caught Jin Zijin, taking his body with him, he roared silently as he flung himself towards the cliff behind him.
Jin Zijin’s gaze was deep as ink, astonished by his actions.
Reduced to a state neither human nor ghost, he was still clawing at life; such tenacity, yet he aimed to perish together with him for the sake of saving the drug-induced phantom?
No, it wasn’t just that, there was another reason. Right, it was hatred, the intense hatred in his eyes couldn’t deceive anyone.
From a noble to this state, he surely had reasons to hate, but... it seemed like he was hating the wrong person.
Jin Zijin gave a bitter smile, his body suspended in the air, he and the wild man plummeted down the cliff together, he said, "When I die, no one will know, no one will mourn. And the person you hate, he will still be untouchable, high above!"
After speaking, Jin Zijin hesitated no more, the flame-red dagger slid silently into the wild man’s heart, blood spraying out and staining his face red!
The wild man’s eyes bulged, no longer having the strength to hold on to Jin Zijin, his hands fell away, powerless, and his body followed suit, plummeting down.
Atop the cliff came the heart-wrenching cries of a woman.
Seeing him fall down the cliff, Gu Youyou then knew just how much a heart could ache; it was a pain a thousand, no, ten thousand times more intense than when he had used her, when he had hurt her!
She hated him for using her, hated that after he was done using her, he tossed her aside like a worthless discarded piece, without so much as a glance back.
