Chapter 87
~End of chapter 86
Mu Qing looked at Gang Tu who was coming at her in a compelling manner. One of his arms was now hanging helplessly around his waist and, along with his hideous face, he looked somewhat strange and ridiculous. There was no medical treatment here, so his arm was most likely crippled.
Li Mang would not leave and abandon her like this, he would definitely come back sooner or later to save her. This was what she kept repeating to herself when she was locked up alone in this cave during this long afternoon. When he saw her, the overwhelming joy and concern in his eyes became the only source of warmth for her. Like an opium addict, she voraciously recalled the expression on his face over and over again.
She had to convince herself of this so that she would have the courage to continue living.
Chapter 87
(27.5)
It was easy to die, the walls of this cave were full of potholes and rocky angles, she just had to run head first into them to end it.
Living was the hard part.
When she first arrived here, she thought she would be able to go back to her world sooner or later, so even though it was difficult, she never thought about committing suicide. Later, although there was no more hope of ever going back, Li Mang’s indulgence and doting on her, became almost the entirety of her life. Now, if she didn’t let herself believe that Li Mang would come to her rescue, she really wouldn’t be able to hold on anymore, to this place that made her feel hopeless from the bottom of her heart.
Feeling slightly apprehensive in his heart, he turned back and was about to call people over to look for his companion, when he suddenly felt a cold feeling in his throat. He did not even have time to make a sound, and collapsed on the ground, as blood kept gushing out from the long and thin cut in his throat.
Without even glancing at him, Li Mang immediately dived silently in the direction of the indistinct firelight in front of him.
He was tall in stature, but at this moment, his movements were as agile as a leopard.
During daytime, he didn’t walk far before he stopped in his tracks. Da Wu and his people were strongly opposed to his idea. But no one could sway him from his decision, not even Da Wu.
He had shown his loyalty and duty to his chief previously, now he had to move accordingly to his heart.
