After taking care of those people, Malicious Spirit went over to Jian Dan and took off his jacket to put it on her.
However, Jian Dan did not look at him the entire time. She just stared blankly in the same direction in a daze.
Although he had already dealt with those people, this place was still very dangerous. Therefore, he had to get Jian Dan out of here as soon as possible.
Hence, he couldnât care less and picked Jian Dan up in a bridal carry before striding outâ¦
However, he did not expect to encounter an ambush as soon as he came outâ¦
If he was alone, he would definitely be able to escape unscathed. However, Jian Dan was still in his arms, not to mention her current state.
He had no choice but to put Jian Dan down. He held Jian Danâs hand with one hand and fought those people with the otherâ¦
It was not a problem for him to deal with them with his ability, butâ¦
By the time he noticed, it was too late. A golden bullet was heading for Jian Danâs chest. He did not think twice and stepped in front of Jian Dan. Because he was taller than her, it did not hit his heart. Still, the bullet tore through him.
It was this shot that jolted Jian Dan out of her dazeâ¦
âMaster Spirit!â Seeing the crimson blood bleeding out of him, tears streamed out of Jian Danâs eyesâ¦
âDonât worry, Iâll definitely bring you out of here safely.â
Heâs still thinking of my safety when heâs so seriously injured?
Seeing those people attack them againâ¦
Coldness flashed across Jian Danâs eyes.
She took the pistol from Malicious Spiritâs hand and shot at the one coming at them.
The bullet accurately hit him in the heart.
Seeing that man fall to the ground, Jian Danâs face did not change at all, as if the man who had just fallen was not really dead.
Next, Jian Dan dealt with the remaining people one by one.
Seeing that Jian Dan had unleashed her potential and was pushing herself to her fullest for him, Malicious Spirit was elated and the corners of his mouth curled up.
After dealing with everyone, Malicious Spirit forced his gravely-injured body to get up and led Jian Dan to leaveâ¦
The two of them returned to Malicious Spiritâs houseâ¦
âMaster Spirit, youâve lost a lot of blood!â
âMaster Spirit, you sacrificed yourself to save me.â There was a hint of self-blame in her tone.
As soon as they entered the house, Malicious Spirit fell to the ground before he could reach the bedâ¦
Jian Dan cradled his head in her armsâ¦
He had never thought that he would one day be able to lie in Jian Danâs embrace. Itâs worth getting shot.
âDonât cry.â He could barely raise a hand to wipe away the tears that fell from the corners of Jian Danâs eyes.
âWhy did you save me? If you hadnât saved me, you wouldnât have been injured.â
âI want to protect you.â
âWhat are you talking about? Why should I be protected by you?â
On the way back, Malicious Spirit already knew that he was going to be a guest of Hades.
âBecause I love you.â
Jian Dan was taken aback by Malicious Spiritâs confession of âI love youââ¦
âThe truth is, Iâm here to seek revenge on Chu Liyuan. I used to think that he was my best pal and like a brother to me, but he abused my trust and hurt the person who raised me. It was only later that I found out that he was a spy sent by the military.â
âInitially, I got close to you because you are the woman Chu Liyuan loved. I wanted to use you to deal him a blow and hurt the person he cared about a lot. However, I didnât expect you to become a variable and make me unable to exact revenge.â
âIâve lived in darkness for my entire life. Youâre like a beacon of light that appeared in my dark life. Even if I know that you are dangerous, I will still be by your side without hesitation for that brief moment of light. Like a moth to a flame.â
âI used to think that it would be great if I could always be by your side to protect you, but now⦠I donât think I can do that anymore.â
âNo, you wonât. You will definitely be okay!â
âI know my condition. Iâve survived all sorts of battles, big and small. But this time, I might really have toâ¦â
âNo, no, no, no! It wonât happen. Master Spirit, donât spout nonsense. It definitely wonât happen!â
Jian Danâs tears had already burst forth like a broken damâ¦
