Chapter 2012 - 1591: Everything Except Love, I Can Give You!

"Southern Emperor, our He Clan has already been entangled in this kind of destiny for tens of thousands of years, and our Master is our only hope! I beg you! I beg you, save him! Save him! In this world, only you can save him now!"

Thinking of that kind of miserable scene, Duo Shu kowtowed once more, until fresh blood kept dripping from his swollen, battered forehead, staining his face red, staining his clothes red...

Southern Emperor, you were supposed to be my Master, and the enemy of my life!

My Master’s mistake lies in the fact that he schemed against you, and then fell in love with you!

My Master’s scheming against you was driven by his mission; my Master’s falling in love with you, however, is the most fatal tribulation of his life!

I beg you, Southern Emperor!

I beg you, Gu Changsheng!

Even if it’s just an empty promise, I still beg you, let my Master keep on living!

He is already the most pitiful person in this world, don’t let him lose even the hope of continuing to live!

"..." Gu Changsheng looked at the blood constantly dripping from Duo Shu’s forehead, looked at his ceaselessly rising and falling kowtow, and her heart followed, twitching in pain with each motion!

She knew what Duo Shu was begging for; she had always known!

But what on earth was she supposed to do?

Who would tell her what she should do?

Gu Changsheng, in all her pride over her past life and present one, apart from the grandfather of her previous life, apart from her parents, had never felt she owed anyone, and yet she alone has wronged this man lying on the bed, bent solely on seeking death!

What he wants, she cannot give.

What she can give, is not what he wants.

"Changsheng..." Zhou Mu turned his head, softly calling to Gu Changsheng.

As a Master of the Transformative Realm, as an existence that even surpassed the Transformative Realm, Zhou Mu could clearly sense the life force on Shi Wujue’s body gradually fading away...

As a man, he too would wish to have his beloved woman to himself alone, but as a man who loves his woman, he does not want to watch her be put in a dilemma, to watch her fall into boundless guilt...

Although he did not know what had happened to make the always proud Shi Wujue actually give rise to the desire to die, he knew that the only one who could knock Shi Wujue down was his woman, and only his woman!

The thing Zhou Mu regrets most in this life is bringing his woman before Shi Wujue!

The thing that makes Zhou Mu feel most torn in this life is that he and his own friend fell in love with the same woman!

"..." Urged on by her own evildoer, Gu Changsheng’s long eyelashes drooped slightly; she, too, at the side of the bed, slowly bent her knees, her hand slowly stretching out, clasping the hand Shi Wujue had laid beside the bed...

Shi Wujue’s hand, his fingers were slender and long, yet the touch in her palm was one of sheer icy cold...

That icy cold touch made Gu Changsheng’s heart twist in pain again and again...

"Shi Wujue..."

Gu Changsheng lifted her head, looking at the man whose eyes were tightly shut, whose face was ashen grey; her gaze lingered on his narrow brows and eyes, and on her bright little face there appeared a trace of desolate sorrow...

"Shi Wujue, I don’t know what kind of things have made you become like this, I also don’t know what you have borne; you don’t speak, I don’t ask—this is the greatest respect I can give you! But I can choose not to ask, can choose not to probe, yet I cannot just watch you die right in front of me! Shi Wujue..."

Holding Shi Wujue’s hand, she slowly tightened her grip; Gu Changsheng clenched her eyes shut hard, and under Duo Shu’s and Zhou Mu’s hopeful gazes, a single tear slid from the corner of her eye. She moved her lips, and with difficulty spoke again...

"But Shi Wujue, I can’t lie to you... What you have endured, I don’t know; what you want, I do know... but..."

At this point, Gu Changsheng paused for a moment, then continued, "Shi Wujue, everything you want, I can give you. Friendship, yes; kinship, yes; even if you want my life, I will offer it with both hands—this is what I owe you, and I can repay it all! Only love..."

"Shi Wujue, I cannot give you a promise to stay by your side forever, because I have already found the man I love. He has vowed never to fail me in this life, and I have vowed never to leave him in this life. Aside from love, I can give you anything! I can accept every choice you’ve made, but I cannot accept the choice of death! You are a man, you are the Master of Linyuan City, you are the hope of your clansmen. A man’s shoulders exist to bear up a piece of heaven and earth! What is it, that could actually shatter your will to live? What is it?"

As Gu Changsheng spoke, she grew ever more agitated, faintly giving off a trace of rampaging aura.
