Chapter 1701: Chapter 1316: No One Can Save Them! (Part 2)
No!
She cannot just stand by and watch the benefactor who saved her die before her eyes...
"Southern Emperor! Crown Prince Mu!"
A deep call stopped Yu Lianyi from turning back. Her hand, guarding her belly, slowly moved away, and a determined expression flashed across her snow-white face...
No! She cannot just stand by and watch them die here!
Everyone can die, even if her heart demon is Dantai Ling who truly loves her, she can remain unmoved, but these two people cannot die here!
"Southern Emperor, Gu Changsheng, Crown Prince Mu, wake up... wake up..."
Yu Lianyi dared not turn back or observe the situation behind her, no matter those dead fixed in the moment of a glance. She moved her hands away from her lower abdomen, gradually pushing them behind her...
"Gu Changsheng, Zhou Mu, in my life, I’ve suffered due to my birth, committed countless despicable acts, owed and harmed many, tread upon countless corpses... Yet I will never owe you, for to me, you are benefactors who never harmed or threatened me..."
"Having saved my life, I have no way to repay you. If you somehow survive this ordeal, please take my remains away from here. Do not let me and my child be buried with these cold, heartless people who abandoned us..."
As she spoke, two streams of inner strength emerged from Yu Lianyi’s palms, striking toward the soul-lost Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu behind her...
Yu Lianyi’s strength was insignificant compared to Zhou Mu in the Primordial Transformative Realm and Gu Changsheng beyond the Transformative Realm, especially now, when she was pregnant and severely injured...
Despite Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu being trapped in heart demon illusions, their innate defenses were beyond her ability to contend with!
All the inner strength she wielded rebounded upon touching Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu, striking back upon her...
This was the stark expression of the vast disparity in ability!
Yet, even so, Yu Lianyi dared not stop!
Behind Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu, there was already no one to remind them...
And all she could do was this!
Pain can wake a person...
Yu Lianyi could only hope that her unending attacks might somehow land upon them, even the slightest bit, to grant them a momentary awakening...
"Gu Changsheng, Zhou Mu, wake up! Wake up! Do not succumb, think of your families, your grand ambitions, don’t turn back! Wake up..."
A voice growing increasingly weak came from Yu Lianyi’s mouth, faint traces of blood dripping slowly from the corners...
She stumbled forward, yet Yu Lianyi stubbornly refused to withdraw her hands placed behind her...
Inner strength was continuously sent forth...
Then rebounded back, impacting upon her own back...
She cannot turn back, yet neither can she give up...
Yu Lianyi felt she had never lived such a life so clearly defined between good and evil, never lived as truly indebted in gratitude before...
Perhaps, it was the last chance, before dying, to live as a true person, without manipulation, without observing deceit, without any other thoughts...
"Wake up, wake up..."
A slim figure, with no noticeable bulge at the belly, a face devoid of blood, hands defiantly sending inner energy behind...
A frail figure, swaying unsteadily...
Yet, still persisting...
"Changsheng..." On Zhou Mu’s godlike face, his brow furrowed, entrapped within an illusion unable to escape, he felt his heart ache with periodic pain, finally unable to resist, opening his slightly closed eyes, a gleam of clarity flashed through the depths...
Who was it? Who dared to attack him?
"Father... Mother..."
Tear-filled eyes, repeatedly murmuring Gu Changsheng, a conflicted expression flashed across his small face, his hand instinctively swept over his aching heart...
"Ugh!"
Up ahead, Yu Lianyi’s figure finally could not hold up!
A staggered step forward, accompanied by a mouthful of blood sprayed out as she fell to the ground, utterly devoid of strength to move...
"Gu Changsheng, Zhou Mu... what I can do for you is only this... I’m sorry, and thank you..."
Everything before her eyes gradually faded away, Yu Lianyi murmured quietly, slowly closing her eyes...
Because of the pain in her heart, the briefly awakened Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu had not yet seen clearly the scenes before their eyes, but the heartache soon vanished...
Followed by the all-encompassing illusions again storming over, binding the two within their heart demons, unable to escape...
"Changsheng, my son..."
"Changsheng, my daughter..."
Two voices again unexpectedly emerged within Gu Changsheng’s mind...
"Evildoer, save me..."
Beside Zhou Mu’s ear, Gu Changsheng’s cries for help again sounded, causing his entire being to instantly tense up, godlike face revealing a tense expression in an instant...
To turn back...
For the one whom fate bound his soul and dreams to...
Even though turning back meant death...
But now, who could rescue them from the heart demon?
No one is left!
On the No Return Path, it seemed, from stepping upon this path of no return, everything had already been determined, they had already stepped onto a dead-end road of no return...
"Gu Changsheng, Changsheng... Look ahead, come over here, this City Lord awaits you here..."
