âA selfish person like you still want to die a quick death? If we let you off the hook then how can we ever face our deceased brothers and sisters?â Ji Skyâs gaze grew sharp and deadly, pinning Gu Ya like prey ready to be slaughtered.
âYou eavesdropped on our conversation and used our method to bring back the monarch. Fine, we can ignore that. As long as the monarch returns then we donât mind who carries out the mission. However, I never wouldâve thought you would sacrifice so many people for your selfishness. Gu Ya, how do you expect us to forgive you? What right do you have to request this of us?â
Gu Yaâs hand slowly loosened as her body collapsed against the dirt. Sheâs never felt so helpless and weak in her entire life for it dawns on her â these people arenât going to let her die quickly regardless of what she did.
I wonât go like this. If I die then I will die by my own hands.
At the thought, Gu Yaâs palm quietly gathered strength and attempted to strike down against her forehead. Sheâs determined to meet her maker by her own means and not by the torture of others.
Bang!
Elder Butterfly, whoâs been paying close attention to anything out of the ordinary, naturally caught onto this. As such, the elderâs foot moved quicker than Gu Ya and kicked her several meters away.
âWant to die? Not so easy Gu Ya. I will make sure you regret ever betraying us in this lifetime.â The female elder sneers in contempt.
Due to the injury, Gu Ya slowly turned towards Heavenly out of reflex and spat blood from the mouth. In her eyes, thereâs affection, yearning, and regret⦠but thereâs no hatred.
No matter how this man treats her, sheâs unable to hate him. After all, if it werenât for this god-like person intervening thousand of years ago, Gu Ya wouldâve died already. She wouldnât exist to this day and died of despair in the past.
âMonarch, if given the same chance, I will continue to love you and not regret my choiceâ¦.â Gu Ya began to laugh in a low, huffing voice of bitter flavor. âBut you never once looked at me. No matter how long I waited, I was never in your view. My only desire is to be by your side. You did not need to marry me; thatâs fine with me. However, I never thought you would take a wife and have a child as wellâ¦.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She wholeheartedly believed this man would never take a woman; thatâs why sheâs able to endure the long years of loneliness. But the arrival of Bai Yan and Bai Ning shattered her illusion.
âNow that I know that the elders would not let me go, I only want to ask one questionâ¦.â She looks up in hopeful anticipation, âif this didnât happen today, would Iâ¦. would I have been able to become your consort? Spend my life by your side?â
Despite finally gazing down at the person, Heavenlyâs expression didnât show attachment. Of course, it didnât help either that his hand was wound around Bai Ningâs waist.
âIâve been alone for years, but thatâs only because I was waiting for my wife to appear. Without her, I wouldnât take anyone else.â
That was to say he wouldnât marry Gu Ya regardless of Bai Ningâs arrival. Therefore, thereâs no chance of them being together from the very beginning and that her love was one-sided.
Unable to accept this shock, Gu Ya spews another mouthful of blood from her throat and loses all strength in her muscles. The last string of support has now been destroyed, and so goes her will to live.
