Yan Jinsu was as if entrapped by her inner demons, staring blankly at the gecko vine, even her steps taken unconsciously, not realizing what was happening.
It was Xie Jingchen who had been closely watching her behavior, seeing her dazed and bewildered state, he felt anxious inside. His nervousness quickened his movements, especially as he grew more anxious, he felt his heartbeat quicken, as if something was about to happen—
As this thought flashed by, Xie Jingchen had just thrown the last bag of Gray Mountain Rat into the Space Button, when like an arrow released from its bow, he shot towards Yan Jinsu. Just as she was about to fall into the crevice of the gecko vine, Xie Jingchen caught Yan Jinsu’s slender wrist with a swift grab in the nick of time!
"Wife, wake up!" Xie Jingchen bellowed at his wife, who was hanging in mid-air.
Yan Jinsu’s eyelids had drooped, seemingly oblivious even to her own fall!
And as he tried to lift her delicate body, an action that should be easy for him, Xie Jingchen was in despair to find that the magnetic wall within this particular chasm was extraordinary. Despite his body being fine, he could not muster any strength!
He also felt that the half-yard wide, pitch-black crevice seemed to suddenly exert a sucking force, trying to pull Yan Jinsu’s body into it!
"No! Wife, wake up!" Xie Jingchen’s face flushed crimson, unwilling to give up, his hand firmly gripping.
He felt as though he had gripped her tiny hand with all his might, but still, her wrist kept slipping away inch by inch!
At this moment, Xie Jingchen had never hated himself more. If he had not insisted on bringing his beloved woman with him on this journey, she would not be in danger!
Even if she lost their shared intimate memories, as long as she lived peacefully and safely under his watch, he believed he would make her accept him and their children again!
"Yan Jinsu!" Xie Jingchen gritted his teeth, the force he exerted causing blood to seep from his gums, roaring her name.
Yan Jinsu had actually come to her senses just as her body was about to ’fall’, seeing Xie Jingchen fearlessly holding onto her hand for dear life, she felt a sticky, wet blood trickling on her forehead...
Yet, her spiritual power seemed to be bound by something. She wanted to open her eyes to respond to him, but she found herself completely immobile, unable even to open her eyelids!
Fear took hold of her heart, and she clutched at her increasingly fragmented Soul Crystal, murmuring lowly: "Xie Jingchen... I’m here... I’m so scared! Save me, save me..."
Just at this tense moment, she saw that Heart Lamp again, and beside it, the three flames of Heart Fire—
"Yan Jinsu, don’t give up, wake up, open your eyes, I am here, I am!" In this tense moment, Xie Jingchen suddenly infused his spiritual power into Yan Jinsu’s mind!
Seeing that her Soul Crystal was even more severely cracked than when he first found her, Xie Jingchen was panic-stricken: ever since he cultivated spiritual power, he knew what a person’s Soul Crystal represented!
If Yan Jinsu’s Soul Crystal really shattered, it would mean at best severe injury, and at worst... The mere thought of losing Yan Jinsu made Xie Jingchen feel an intolerable pain in his heart!
Now, Yan Jinsu’s wrist was sliding through, and Xie Jingchen could only grasp her slender fingers, which only accelerated her descending momentum!
Yan Jinsu’s eyes widened, looking at Xie Jingchen rushing into her Soul Crystal, her heart wrenched with pain. He, what was he trying to do?
Yan Jinsu’s situation was exactly the same as the last time she was ambushed by Wang Xiuxiu!
Xie Jingchen had already experienced this, only this time it was much more severe!
Last time, Yan Jinsu’s Soul Crystal was intact as before.
This time, her Soul Crystal was shattered into pieces. If there was no way to stop her Heart Soul from being attacked again, her Soul Crystal, without repairs, would soon break apart!
Thinking of this, Xie Jingchen carefully wrapped the last of the Spirit Core Liquid from the Space Button, and without any hesitation, merged his own Spiritual Body into the location of her Soul Crystal!
"Ugh—" Xie Jingchen grunted, as the spiritual power merged into another’s Soul Crystal, it was like tearing one’s own flesh and bones, and the pain was even several times worse than that!
But such an act resulted in the quickest effect! Because the recovery speed was synchronized with the sacrificer’s renunciation!
Moreover, Xie Jingchen had also directly poured the Spirit Core Liquid into her Soul Crystal, like water on parched land, which instantly moisturized the cracked lines. In just a few seconds, the situation improved faster than the effects of Yan Jinsu taking it herself!
It was simply immediate and strikingly effective!
Furthermore, Xie Jingchen’s Spiritual Crystal Soul was also a great supplement! Xie Jingchen had spent over half a year cultivating his Spiritual Body, ripping it apart piece by piece and melting it into Yan Jinsu’s Soul Crystal, just to save his wife—something ordinary people couldn’t do!
Yan Jinsu couldn’t do it either!
At this moment, Yan Jinsu desperately wanted to find those lost memories of hers! No wonder she had been willing to wear a bridal gown for him, to bear and raise children for him!
With Xie Jingchen’s selfless rescue, Yan Jinsu was so moved she couldn’t contain her feelings!
With the support of Xie Jingchen’s Spiritual Body repairing her Soul Crystal, she felt so comfortable she wanted to moan. But after stabilizing her collapsing Soul Crystal, she immediately opened her eyes, clouded with grey mist, and weakly said to the man whose face was pale and lips bleeding:
"Enough, don’t hurt yourself anymore..."
"Yan Jinsu!" Xie Jingchen was overjoyed, but this mere action caused him to nearly slip, startling both of them!
"Wife, don’t be afraid, I—"
"You, let go! Xie Jingchen, that’s enough... thank you!" Yan Jinsu widened her eyes, looking at his hand still gripping her fingers, her eyes reddened with emotion and tears involuntarily falling, pleading with him:
"Thank you for giving me such life-risking love... please let go! Remember, the children need you!"
"No—Yan Jinsu, don’t give up the will to live! If I, Xie Jingchen, were to live without you, I wouldn’t be able to face our children for the rest of my life!" Nor could he face himself!
Xie Jingchen kept a straight face, staring at her closed eyelids, and the blood at the corner of his mouth flowed again due to his teeth-gnashing.
"Xie Jingchen, don’t be so selfish! Losing their mother has already made their lives miserable, and if they grow up without a father to protect them, in this era, they will have a life of sorrow! You..."
Even though falling might not mean death, Yan Jinsu really didn’t want this man to take risks for her, she just didn’t.
Because Yan Jinsu had no memory, even when she talked about her children in name only, she felt only apology and guilt. But looking into Xie Jingchen’s pained eyes, the upcoming ’let go’ felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, making it impossible for her to utter the words!
Yan Jinsu couldn’t understand, how a man could love another woman more than his own life!
