“A 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?” Ji Sky’s gaze grew sharp and deadly, pinning Gu Ya like prey ready to be slaughtered.
“You 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 don’t mind who carries out the mission. However, I never would’ve 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?”
Gu Ya’s hand slowly loosened as her body collapsed against the dirt. She’s never felt so helpless and weak in her entire life for it dawns on her – these people aren’t going to let her die quickly regardless of what she did.
I won’t go like this. If I die then I will die by my own hands.
At the thought, Gu Ya’s palm quietly gathered strength and attempted to strike down against her forehead. She’s determined to meet her maker by her own means and not by the torture of others.
Bang!
Elder Butterfly, who’s been paying close attention to anything out of the ordinary, naturally caught onto this. As such, the elder’s foot moved quicker than Gu Ya and kicked her several meters away.
“Want to die? Not so easy Gu Ya. I will make sure you regret ever betraying us in this lifetime.” 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, there’s affection, yearning, and regret… but there’s no hatred.
No matter how this man treats her, she’s unable to hate him. After all, if it weren’t for this god-like person intervening thousand of years ago, Gu Ya would’ve died already. She wouldn’t exist to this day and died of despair in the past.
“Monarch, if given the same chance, I will continue to love you and not regret my choice….” Gu Ya began to laugh in a low, huffing voice of bitter flavor. “But 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; that’s fine with me. However, I never thought you would take a wife and have a child as well….”
She wholeheartedly believed this man would never take a woman; that’s why she’s able to endure the long years of loneliness. But the arrival of Bai Yan and Bai Ning shattered her illusion.
“Now that I know that the elders would not let me go, I only want to ask one question….” She looks up in hopeful anticipation, “if this didn’t happen today, would I…. would I have been able to become your consort? Spend my life by your side?”
Despite finally gazing down at the person, Heavenly’s expression didn’t show attachment. Of course, it didn’t help either that his hand was wound around Bai Ning’s waist.
“I’ve been alone for years, but that’s only because I was waiting for my wife to appear. Without her, I wouldn’t take anyone else.”
That was to say he wouldn’t marry Gu Ya regardless of Bai Ning’s arrival. Therefore, there’s 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.
