Chapter 332: Falling off the Cliff (2/2)

Pei Rumo immediately turned around and he flew towards her. He reached out to grab her hand.

“Luo Chu, grab onto me!” Pei Rumo reached out to Bai Luochu and she hurriedly reached out to grab his arm. As her whole body was suspended over the cliff, she wasn’t able to exert any strength at all. The soldiers looked at each other in dismay as they couldn’t do a thing. The soil was loose and the more people going over to help, the greater the risk of falling.

Lu Wenshu never expected that Bai Luochu would meet with an accident. He didn’t have enough spirit qi to pull her up and if he went over recklessly, he might cause Pei Rumo to fall over the cliff as well.

“Pei Rumo, hurry up and let go!” Bai Luochu suddenly shouted at Pei Rumo, “Hurry up and let go! You’re going to fall off if you don’t let go!”

“I am not letting go, not even if I die! I promised someone to protect you even if I have to risk my life! I, Pei Rumo, never go back on my words!” Pei Rumo desperately tried to pull her up. The more he tried, the looser the soil underneath him became.

“Listen up. Now isn’t the time to fulfill promises! The two of us cannot possibly fall and die together. As long as one of us lives, everything will be fine! Listen to me... let go.” Bai Luochu put up a strong front and hoped he would listen to reason.

But Pei Rumo still didn’t give up and Bai Luochu had no choice but to slowly pull her hand away. However, before she was able to pull her hand away, the soil beneath Pei Rumo’s body gave way and they fell off the cliff together.

Despite falling, Pei Rumo grabbed Bai Luochu and wrapped his body around hers. He wanted to protect her even if they fell and hoped that her chances of survival would increase with him acting as an airbag.

Pei Rumo felt that even though he wasn’t able to develop a relationship with her, dying together wasn’t too bad.

However, Bai Luochu was thinking about that night when Pei Qingfeng said to her, “You must come back safely.” She closed her eyes tightly. She never thought that she would fail to fulfill her promise to him.

Pei Rumo was going to resign to his fate and he circulated his spirit qi to form a protective barrier around the both of them. Bai Luochu understood Pei Rumo’s idea and even though she didn’t have plenty of spirit qi, she still poured everything into the barrier around them.

The cliff had plenty of well-grown trees and Pei Rumo would crash into them from time to time. Even though it slowed them down, several trees were smashed due to the huge impact. By the time the two of them landed, Pei Rumo had lost consciousness.

Bai Luochu looked to the side and realized that the two of them were nearly at the bottom of the cliff. There was a cave beside them and due to the bad weather, she knew better than to remain in the wild.
