Chapter 333: Chapter 72 Marchioness_5
No one had expected the Elf they had just rescued to commit suicide. It happened too suddenly, there was no time to stop it. There was a flash of blood; the Elf had already slowly fallen, into Zhuo Yun’s arms.
"No——" Zhuo Yun cried out, "Elf, why? Elf, why would you do this!"
Surprised, Ah Dai quickly grabbed the Elf’s hand, infusing True Qi into his body non-stop.
A bitter smile appeared on the Elf’s face as he said to Ah Dai, "Brother, thank you for rescuing me. Please don’t waste your energy, I’ve pierced my own heart. Thank you sincerely for giving me the opportunity to end my life. Only in death can my soul be cleansed." His voice gradually grew weak. He turned to Zhuo Yun and said, staggering and intermittent, "Yun... I... love... you... I...do... love... you... but... I can’t... be... with... you... anymore. Yun... I’m... sorry... it’s me... who let... you... down... goodbye... my... Yun. Take... good... care... of yourself... don’t... remember... me... Surely... there will be... a stronger... person... that will... protect... you... and... love you. Yun... I truly... miss... our... times... in Elf... City. Oh... how I wish to go... there... with you..." His voice faltered and then finally ceased, two streams of tears flowing down, the Elf, with an eager smile on his face, took his last breath in Zhuo Yun’s arms.
The night was as silent as death. Zhuo Yun held the Elf’s body, completely stunned. Ah Dai also froze, he couldn’t have foreseen that the Elf he had striven so hard to save would end his own life.
Yan Shi squatted down beside Zhuo Yun. If he had been somewhat jealous when he saw her holding the Elf a moment ago, now his heart was filled with pity for Zhuo Yun. "Zhuo Yun," he softly called. Zhuo Yun with a vacant look turned to Yan Shi.
Yan Shi sighed, pulling Zhuo Yun’s delicate body into his arms and said sorrowfully, "Let it out if you want to cry. I didn’t expect him to be so resolute."
Zhuo Yun burst into tears. The Elf’s death was a heavy blow to her. Her tears wet Yan Shi’s chest. She sobbed, "Why? Why are you so foolish? You had no choice! No one would blame you. Elf, Elf, why were you so foolish!"
Yan Shi’s voice choked slightly as he gently stroked Zhuo Yun’s pale green hair, "He was a proud elf, subjected to such a grave insult, he felt his soul had been polluted. That’s why he chose to die. Maybe, living was even more painful for him than death. Didn’t you see it? He died with a smile on his face. I think, he must have ascended to heaven, don’t be sad anymore."
Zhuo Yun abruptly pushed Yan Shi away and shouted, "No, no, I don’t want him to die. How would you know his life would be more painful than death?" She grabbed the Elf’s upper body, shaking it over and over, "Elf, you’re just trying to scare me, right? You used to scare me in Elf City, I know you’re just trying to scare me, please wake up. Elf... "
Yan Shi closed his eyes and sighed deeply, "Zhuo Yun, if you encountered the same thing as him, being violated by those evil people, what would you have chosen when you saw him again?"
