Chapter 1418 - Gunshot

Chapter 1418 - Gunshot

Jun Xiqing lowered her eyes, taking a step in front to block in front of Dongfang Yu. She looked at Lu Yeming in the eye, moving her lips as she said, “If you want to kill my brother, you’ll have to kill me first! Once I’m dead, you can have the entire Jiu You and become even more powerful.”

Cold eyes pierced into her as Lu Yeming held the gun, pointing the gun barrel at Jun Xiqing’s chest. He was surrounded by a dark and dangerous aura. “You’re actually willing to die for your brother?

“Jun Xiqing, I thought that you were a smart person but I simply hadn’t expected you to be this dumb. Do you think that I wouldn’t dare to shoot just because you’re blocking in front of him? You always overestimate your importance to me and try to influence my decisions. You’re constantly asking for my love.”

Without saying a word, Jun Xiqing just looked at the man in front of her. She was reminded of the scene many years ago at the Passion River, when he pulled the King’s Sword out.

Anyone who pulled the King’s Sword out would be cursed and not have any love or feelings in their entire lifetime, they were destined to spend their entire life in loneliness. Judging from how things were going, it seemed like it was true.

Everything was predestined.

The feelings he had for her, the affection he had given her, it was all because she was the only woman who could match up to him. He saw her as an object that he owned and he wouldn’t let anyone else have her. He had never cheated her, or rather, he never bothered to cheat her. He constantly said, ‘marry me, be my queen’, but that was it.

Long ago, he has already determined her worth to him. As long as he had to pay more than that, it was very possible that he would just... forsake her.

How old was he anyway? He was only 26, he could just spend some time and effort to groom the next Jun Xiqing.

At that exact moment, Jun Xiqing had no qualms about him firing the shot.

But suddenly, a large palm grasped Jun Xiqing’s shoulder. Dongfang Yu took two steps forward, protecting Jun Xiqing behind himself. “Lu Yeming, you’re too much. Why are you scaring my baby? You must have the ability to let the bullet pass through my heart before you think about letting it happen.”

Lu Yeming narrowed his eyes, loading the bullets and he pulled the trigger.

Bang! A bullet flew in their direction.

Jun Xiqing’s pupils contracted in shock. That bastard Lu Yeming had fired the shot without any hesitation! Though she was already mentally prepared for it, Jun Xiqing’s heart stopped beating at that instant.

“Baby, don’t be scared.”

Dongfang Yu held Jun Xiqing’s waist, leaping and the two of them flew onto a wooden pole high up.

The bullet Lu Yeming had shot passed through the trunk of a tree behind. The tree instantly collapsed.

From above, Dongfang Yu looked at Lu Yeming, who stood below them. “Lu Yeming, I heard that your shooting skills were remarkably sharp and accurate, but I don’t exactly think that’s the case. When you were still a little mute, I’d already started playing with guns. Do you really think that you could outperform me?”

He was going to shoot down Dongfang Yu.

Dongfang Yu could feel the murderous intentions behind him. Lu Yeming was pointing a gun in his direction. Dongfang Yu only raised the corners of his lips into a sardonic smile. He had been trained to deal with guns and dangerous situations since young, there was no way Lu Yeming could shoot him.

Dongfang Yu tried to dodge together with Jun Xiqing.

But just then, he heard a woman’s voice. “Ah Yu.”

Ah Yu.

Ah Yu.

Dongfang Yu hadn’t heard this voice in six years, and once he heard it, he was completely distracted.

It felt completely different.

Vigilant as always, Lu Yeming immediately spotted that Dongfang Yu was distracted, even though it lasted only a second. The corners of his lips kicked up. It wasn’t Dongfang Yu who despised him, but rather, the other way round. He certainly wasn’t impressed by someone who would land himself in trouble because of a woman not only once, but the second time again.

Lu Yeming pulled the trigger.

Bang! Jun Xiqing only heard a loud sound and before she even had enough time to react, she heard the sound of a bullet passing through the heart.

“Brother!”

Everything seared into Jun Xiqing’s mind and the blood running in her body instantly turned cold. “Brother!”

Just a bit, they were just one step away from the daylight.

Just a little more and they could leave this place.

“Brother!”

Jun Xiqing let out a heartbreaking scream.

Dongfang Yu lowered his eyes, looking at his chest. The bullet had come from behind and the material above his chest was completely soaked with blood. The blood oozed out of his chest, like a tap that was turned on.

With his fringe covering his bright eyes, he somehow exuded a gentleness like never before.

Holding Jun Xiqing in his arms tightly, they fell onto the ground and Dongfang Yu planted a kiss on Jun Xiqing’s forehead as he said helplessly, “Baby, I’m sorry...”
