Chapter 645 “Never Give Up on You (3)”
“Sire, Her Highness also had us bring you a messenger…” The shadow guard’s tone was shaking hard to the point where he’s sputtering: “She, she said she will never forgive you in this life.”
She said…. she will never forgive me in this life!
“HaHaHa!” Laughing wildly, Di Cang’s very existence seems to be swelling up with power, forcing all of the people present to go silent with unease.
“I once said that while I am alive, I would always protect her. To think the ones to cause me to break that promise would be my own subordinates!” Sorrow etched itself into every syllable there, showing how despairing and painfully hurt the man was inside.
“Brother…” The princess stared foolishly at her older brother, unsure what to do after seeing the trickle of tears slowly coming down that cheek.
Brother… is crying?
My brother, the one who never waivers or stands down under any circumstances… is crying?
The girl felt very uncomfortable over this scene. She’s never seen her older brother in this form, for that, she now resents everyone involved regardless of their intent.
If it weren’t for them being so blinded then none of this would’ve happened!
“But Brother, Sister-in-law and Xiachen is still alive. They are alive Brother! I’m sure the two are still waiting for you to go get them, you mustn’t lose hope!”
“She won’t forgive me, she will never forgive me…” Closing his eyes that’s red by this point, Di Cang deflates and hangs his head like a lost cause.
“That is not true. I know it! Once you find Sister-in-law and explain everything then I’m sure she would forgive you.” Pursing those lip, Di Xiao Wan lowers her tone into a soothing whisper: “And… did you forget that she waited over twenty days for you despite hearing what the fake said? She must’ve been waiting to get an explanation. But since you never returned, that’s why she left.”
It has to be said, though this sweet dumbaclutz may be silly and foolish at times, her ability to say sweet and comforting things at the perfect timing was spot on.
Looking up with hope in his face again, Di Cang grabs onto the last piece of straw laid before his eyes: “Is that true? She really waited for me? She will believe… in me?”
“Of course Brother, I know Sister-in-law would definitely come back to us if she learns the truth.”
Overjoyed at having her brother believe again, Di Xiao Wan waited for the expected response. Then just as she’s starting to worry after getting none, that’s when Di Cang’s complexion grew extremely pale. The man clutched that chest like he’s suffering immense pain.
“What’s wrong with you Brother, why are you looking so terrible?” Startled by the change, the demon princess hurried to step forward in order to help support the man’s crumbling body.
Poof!
But before the girl could help, Di Cang had already blocked her off with his hand. Taking a step backwards, that mouth suddenly spewed a mouthful of blood.
“BROTHER!” The girl exclaimed with extreme fright in that voice. She doesn’t understand what’s happening so she’s very flustered at the moment.
What’s happening? Brother was just fine a few seconds ago, why is he looking so weak all of sudden?!
That’s right, the girl could clearly sense the lifelessness in Di Cang’s aura.
“The contract… it has been broken.”
The contract between me and Bai Yan has been broken!
Painfully closing his eyes again, Di Cang knows his last hope in finding his wife was gone. If the contract remains then he could’ve used the connection to locate his wife again after heading into the human world, but now….
