Mu Qinghe fell onto the ground. At this point, he was only an inch away from that golden string. However, he did not move.
The excruciating pain caused him to unwittingly curl his body up.
The scorched smell spread from his body.
The areas near his wrists and ankles were burned till they turned black, and his muscles curled up as they became contorted bit by bit under such a high temperature!
There wasn’t even a hint of blood on his face, making him as white as a ghost.
Blood kept seeping out from the corner of his lips.
His surroundings were clearly burning, scorching hot, yet he felt that his body was turning colder inch by inch. Even his skin, muscles, blood, bones… It was like he was falling down a deep abyss.
His consciousness gradually became blurred. His blank mind was only left with a familiar smiling face.
At this point, she was still young, but her distinguished aura was already present. Even if she walked in a bustling street, she was still the most eye-catching one.
Whoever saw her would know that she had a special status.
In comparison, the dirty and skinny him was as lowly as dirt.
When she walked over, the first thought he had was to escape. However, a humble desire emerged in the bottommost part of his heart, which caused him to choose to stay in his spot.
After a long time, he found out the most perfect phrase to describe the situation back then—worlds apart.
“Follow me then!” she tilted her head and said with a smile.
At that time, he knew that this sentence would determine his entire life.
Mu Qinghe kept trembling, and his head was buried in his arms. It was as if this would make him slightly safer.
His lips moved, yet he felt that there was fire spreading on his tongue
“…Your Highness…” he muttered, and his extremely weak voice disappeared between his lips.
The surrounding fire rapidly surged up and completely swallowed his entire figure!
A faint light quickly flashed across Rong Xiu’s eyes, and he retracted that golden string.
He glanced at the person in his arms. The surroundings were boiling hot, but she didn’t show any signs of waking up.
Rong Xiu hugged her even tighter and rushed toward the exit!
The stairs had already collapsed, but this wasn’t a problem for him.
Behind, the few apparitions were intensely fighting, and the few blood whips had already burned to their ends in the intense fire!
Rong Xiu pushed his palm upward, and an entrance opened above his head!
A ray of light from the sky shone in!
Rong Xiu turned around to take a look before his figure flashed. He completely disappeared from the spot.
“Rong Xiu!” Sounds of anger and indignation reverberated below!
…
Rong Xiu came out from below and raised his wrist. The golden fire and black fire rushed out continuously and returned to his body.
Tuan Zi flew over as well.
The cave was charcoal-black, and one could faintly see some sparks.
Rong Xiu raised his hands.
An extremely complicated Xuan formation instantly flew out and sealed that cave entrance shut! The Sky-Cloud Empire totem faintly appeared.
Very quickly, that sinister, cold, and cunning voice gradually disappeared.
Rong Xiu closed his eyes. The other party doesn’t dare to come out, so I could only do it to this extent at most.
“…Rong Xiu…” The person in his arms softly called his name.
Rong Xiu immediately looked down and realized that she hadn’t woken up. She was just calling him unintentionally.
Rong Xiu brushed away the few strands of loose hair on her face. He then held her face lightly and kissed her brows in a very precious and cherishing manner.
Chu Liuyue’s originally slightly knitted brows relaxed.
Rong Xiu carried her up bridal style and was about to go forward when his chest slumped.
Bright red stains flowed out from the corner of his lips.
