He saw Yu Jizi holding the Zhuzhao Pearl and laughing madly, and he directly grabbed it with a speed as fast as the wind.
Yu Jizi hadn’t expected that these half-dead people could still resist, so, due to his momentary carelessness, it was snatched away by him.
He jumped out of the coffin and, upon seeing the situation before him, his eyes immediately froze into ice.
Was this the sacrifice?
These women, were they the sacrificial offerings?
His eyes were full of worry.
She was there, too, and she seemed to be seriously injured.
Gu Youyou was about to speak up, but her throat was damaged, and even she couldn’t hear the words clearly.
All she could do was use the shape of her mouth to tell him, "Don’t worry about me, just leave if you get the chance."
After Yu Jizi’s instant of surprise, he quickly calmed down.
Could he really escape from this ancient tomb?
Apart from Tian Jizi, there was no one in this world who could match him. It was just that Jin Ziyuan’s body would soon be his, and he did not want it damaged.
"Give it to me, and I’ll spare her life," Yu Jizi reached out his hand towards Jin Ziyuan
Gu Youyou pursed her lips and shook her head vigorously at him.
She couldn’t listen to the ravings of this lunatic. At this point, they could only choose to shatter to pieces rather than remain whole and flawed.
But the more she shook her head, the more powerless she felt.
Why wouldn’t he hand it over? If he didn’t, would Yu Jizi not be able to take it? Having swallowed the object, could it be taken out again? The tomb chamber was only so large, how could he protect it?
It was no more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating his own strength.
"Do you want to fight against me?" Yu Jizi disregarded him with disdain.
Jin Ziyuan looked painfully at Gu Youyou; she appeared weak and covered in blood.
She was already so frail, how could she bleed so much?
No, he had to save her. Even if it cost him his own life!
Suddenly, his expression turned cold, and he reached for his own throat, uttering in a hoarse voice, "Release her, and I will give it to you, otherwise I’ll suffocate myself right now."
Yu Jizi pupil’s shrank, his heart tightened.
Such a perfect body would be such a waste if it died.
He softened his expression a bit and said, "Don’t worry, even if you didn’t threaten me, I wouldn’t kill her. She has great use to me."
"Then release her now."
Being frequently threatened made Yu Jizi a bit irate and he said, "How am I supposed to release her? Even if I let her go, she won’t be able to get out."
Jin Ziyuan tightened his grip on his neck a bit more; his slender fingers were nearly sinking into the flesh, and he spoke resolutely, "Release her, throw her outside the tomb chamber and I’ll give it to you. Whether she can leave or not, that’s her own fate."
"You..." Yu Jizi, holding back his temper, said, "Fine, fine, we’ll see if she can crawl out in her half-dead state. If she dies at the door, that’s on you."
Yu Jizi, frustrated, removed the bugs from Gu Youyou’s body, picked her up, and opened the stone door.
The moment the door opened, a flash of golden sword light fiercely stabbed inside.
Yu Jizi’s face showed shock as he quickly stepped back to dodge the sword light and, at the same time, he dropped Gu Youyou.
Seeing the familiar person, Gu Youyou’s last nerve snapped, her brain lost consciousness, and she fainted.
Thankfully, he had come; she had finally waited until his arrival.
Gu Youyou fell into a warm embrace; this embrace was not as warm as before, but it was still cherished enough that she would never want to let go for the rest of her life.
Holding the bloodied person, Jin Zijin was trembling all over.
