"Blegh!" With force, Yun Shu spat out a mouth full of blood, her body weakening.
"Haha, pretty boy, isn’t it almost time you gave up and bowed to me? I promise I’ll let you have a good life." Xia Ruoling was grinning as she looked at Yun Shu’s weak state. Right now, the more sword blows they exchanged between them, the more Yun Shu’s body weakened, to the point that she couldn’t bear it anymore and knelt down on the ground.
She thought it was because Yun Shu couldn’t withstand her power, though that was not the case.
"Looks like I’m gonna die this time. But why does it have to be so painful every time? Didn’t I ask you to keep my pain to a minimum, Chen Yi? Such a rascal!" Yun Shu’s mumbling voice puzzled Xia Ruoling. Who was he talking to?
At the last moment, Yun Shu wanted to say goodbye to Bai Yunxian for the last time, so she turned around to look at him.
However, before she could do so, the scene before her became extremely infuriating.
Since her spiritual powers weakened, Xia Ruoling was able to get out of the sealed area with difficulty. Even so, how dare she?!
"Kekekeke... got you, pretty boy! Look, look, look over there. Your lover is dying, in my hands. Isn’t this fun?" Xia Took grabbed Bai Yunxian’s hair and lifted his head up to maje him look at Yun Shu. His beautiful face was now covered in blood and wounds, Yun Shu couldn’t bear to see him.
"Let go of him!" Yun Shu chewed out every word with extreme anger, but Xia Ruoling didn’t take her seriously.
"Ha! What can you do? You are now as good as a corpse, why not die quickly rather than having a painful death?" Xia Ruoling mocked her as she grinned, her fingernails were tracing Bai Yunxian’s face.
"Shu’er, what happened? Why did you..." Yun Chu was in a horrified state after seeing Yun Shu, he didn’t believe anyone could beat her to this state. Even Yun Si was shocked, but he didn’t dare to come over and take a look, instead getting pinned on the ground.
All the men in black were taken care of by them, not like Xia Ruoling cared. Because those men were intended to sacrifice anyway. She had little to no sympathy for them, rather she was rejoicing because she finally got to get her hands on Yun Shu’s heart and mind.
Yun Chu and Yun Xiao were trying their best to help Yun Shu stand up, but Yun Shu’s eyes were fixed on Bai Yunxian.
"My Lord..." Bai Yunxian tried his best to call her out, but was interrupted by Xia Ruoling who took his mouth.
"Hah!" Yun Shu was shocked to see the scene before her, she didn’t expect this coming.
Xia Ruoling did this on purpose to disgrace Bai Yunxian in front of Yun Shu’s guards and her brothers, most of all to get back at her.
Because she didn’t expect what was coming either.
The moment Yun Shu saw Bai Yunxian’s eyes that lost its light, Yun Shu didn’t hesitate anymore.
"This bitch, how dare you touch my man?" Yun Shu grabbed the demoness by the neck as she picked her up like a piece of rag, throwing her on the ground mercilessly a few meters away.
Yun Shu didn’t pay any attention to the demon as she took off her coat and wrapped it around Bai Yunxian, who was trembling like a lost ship. He looked up at her, bursting out in tears all of a sudden.
’Looks like that was a shock for him, no matter how much it happened in the past... a trauma is still a trauma regardless.’
"Don’t be afraid, I’m sorry. I won’t let it happen again." Yun Shu patted on Bai Yunxian’s shoulder who in turn jumped over Yun Shu and hugged her.
"Boohoo...!"
"What, what happened.t-to you, my lord... why did you..." Bai Yunxian couldn’t say more, only bursting into tears.
In his blurry state, he didn’t know that the last thing he would see was a warm smile Yun Shu gifted him, and a bloody hand coming out of Yun Shu’s chest from behind.
"Urk...!"
"Shu’er!"
The Yun Brothers screamed out in tears, but it was in vain.
"Haha, ahahahah! Finally, he is dead!" Xia Ruoling was laughing like crazy as she took out her hand full of blood, licking it to have a taste.
Unknown to her, the shadow of death loomed over her from the behind, and in one go, Xia Ruoling’s head slowly fell on the ground, rolling aside while her body shook a little before falling down with a loud thud.
Xia Ruoling was dead, Yun Shu’s mind easied down a little as she let go of her sword, the artifact was also full of blood that she drew out on purpose.
It wasn’t that she was careless, but the condition to take out her heart blood was to take it out by her enemies hand. To do that, Yun Shu gave Xia Ruoling an opportunity to attack her, and took advantage of this.
Yun Shu’s body was also not able to take it anymore as she fell, right onto Bai Yunxian’s lap who was sitting on the ground. His face and hair, his body was drained with Yun Shu’s blood that fell on him after that brutal moment.
After Yun Shu’s body fell on him, he gently pulled her closer to his body, taking her on his lap as he closely looked at the wounds, the hole in her chest was also visible very clearly that he couldn’t bear it anymore, and cried out like a child.
"Don’t look, I don’t want to dirty your eyes..." Yun Shu crushed out her words with difficulty as she tried to cover Bai Yunxian’s eyes with her hand.
"My lord... sniff, sniff..."
"Don’t cry... either. Keep it with you, and... don’t forget me..."
