Chapter 836: Gu Yue? (2/2)

After taking a moment to compose himself, Tang Wulin carefully made his way over to the other person and carefully ducked his head so he could take a look under their hood.

The sight that he was greeted by immediately made his eyes widen with shock.

Beneath the hood was a set of delicate facial features. Her skin was fair and smooth, and she wasn't exactly an exquisite beauty, but she held an unrivaled position in Tang Wulin's heart.

As soon as he saw her, Tang Wulin's first reaction was that this couldn't be real. His entire body shuddered as he pinched the inside of his own leg very hard.

It hurt a lot!

Did that mean that he wasn't dreaming? That this was all real? He reached out and gently pinched on her on the cheek.

”Hmm!” The young woman moaned as her long eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Their eyes met, and an excited look immediately appeared on Tang Wulin's face. In contrast, she appeared to be completely lost and disoriented.

”Wh, where am I?” the young woman asked in a dazed voice.

A wry smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face. ”This is the demonic island. Is, is that really you?”

The young woman hurriedly sat bolt upright, and only then did she return to her senses as she exclaimed, ”Wh, why are you here? You...”

That's right, the young woman was none other than Gu Yue.

Tang Wulin stared blankly at her stunned expression, and he sighed, ”Gu Yue, I've missed you so much!”

Gu Yue's breathing began to accelerate as she quickly rose to her feet. She inspected their surroundings, and murmured, ”Wh, why are you here? I was clearly at the Spirit PaG.o.da...”

Tang Wulin shook his head. ”Would you believe me if I told you that I don't know?”

Gu Yue pressed a hand over her chest and turned around so that her back was facing Tang Wulin. Her breathing continued to accelerate, and it seemed that she didn't want to face him.

”Why did you leave? Why can't we face everything together? Yes, I may not be powerful enough right now and perhaps I still can't completely protect you, but I'll be sure to do my best to become stronger. I'll definitely be able to protect you in the future, so don't leave me again, Gu Yue!”

Tang Wulin approached her from behind, and his hands were trembling slightly as she gently grabbed onto her arms before slowly turning her around.

”You don't understand; it's not that simple!” Gu Yue said in a trembling voice, ”If there were any other alternatives, the last thing I wanted to do was leave you, but I can't stay by your side. This is for both your safety and your future.”

Tang Wulin tightened his grip on her arms and forced her to look into his eyes. ”Even if you're afraid that I can't handle whatever it is that you're facing, can you tell me what it is first? Do you think that I can love someone else aside from you in this world?”

Gu Yue replied in an indifferent voice, ”There are so many outstanding women who love you; you can choose any of them.”

”Do you really want to see that?” Tang Wulin asked in a serious voice.

Gu Yue turned her head away and didn't reply.

Tang Wulin took a deep breath. ”Tell me. No matter what we're facing, you have to tell me the truth so we can think of a solution together. Perhaps I still don't have the power to protect you, and I can agree to temporarily separate with you for the sake of our future, but you have to tell me the reason; you have to show me some hope. I know you love me as well; our feelings for each other are genuine, and that's all that we need. I have confidence that I'll be able to protect you from anything in the future, so tell me the truth.”
