Su Yuehan, Archnemesis

Li Chengfeng grabbed Agatha, who almost fell in, then clenched his teeth and threw her upwards to a safer part of the mountain wall. Asparta followed her without regards to his own safety, struggling to pull her upwards.

However, Agatha kept screaming, “I'm fine, go save Madam and Young Master instead!”

As if he did not hear her, Asparta dragged her to the inner side of a mountain path with all his might. Then, he finally rushed towards Li Chengfeng.

He saw Su Yuehan instinctively grab Madam Xie, who had slipped off the cliff. Chengfeng immediately reached out and yelled, “Mother!

Su Yuehan was currently hanging mid-air, one arm grabbing the edge of a boulder and the other to Madam Xie. Li Chengfeng was only less than a metre away but could not move as the ground beneath his feet crumbled.

Su Yuehan hesitated, then suddenly clenched her jaw and used all her might to pull Madam Xie up. Then, with her back towards the cliff wall, she found a dent in the boulder wall that could barely support her weight and supported Madam Xie upwards with her arms and shoulder.

Li Chengfeng immediately bent down to grab Madam Xie, who had been pushed upwards by Su Yuehan.

The moment he grabbed Madam Xie, the ground beneath his feet crumbled once more. Terrified, he took a deep breath and used the last bit of his strength to toss his mother upwards. “Asparta, catch!”

Asparta had just arrived at the edge of the cliff. He reached far down to grab Madam Xie by her shoulders, let out a loud cry and used all his strength to pull her up.

Li Chengfeng finally relaxed when he saw Madam Xie finally making her way out. However, the rocks beneath his feet chipped away once again. He fell sideways, though thankfully for his quick reflexes, he grabbed a protruding rock. He was now dangling mid-air. He looked down but instead saw Su Yuehan sliding at top speed downwards into the canyon below, scrambling to grab any surface she could to no avail.

At this exact moment, Chengfeng and Su Yuehan locked eyes for him to clearly see the fear and helplessness within hers. Clenching his jaw, he let go and fell towards Su Yuehan.

Su Yuehan was stunned. She had just been pretending to look helpless and scared. As a powerful demon, how could a cliff kill her?

And yet this Young Master was willing to risk his own life to save her?!

Su Yuehan, who thought she had seen it all, was utterly shocked!

It reminded her of a saying: A man in love will risk his life to save his lover, forgetting himself in the heat of the moment.

The saying was an ancient one. She remembered faintly of an incident a hundred years ago, when she was just an innocent young girl. A person she had fallen in love with had said this. She thought the love-struck man would be this man, if she ever needed help.

But that was not the case.

The day she died, she had waited for his arrival bitterly, for him to save her, yet he never appeared. He lied!

Her death was one filled with rage and despair!

Due to the concentration of intense hatred, her soul was transformed into a demon! She never believed that a man would ever willingly die for her.

And yet, this man's actions had reminded her of this long-forgotten quote!

She widened her eyes, watching Li Chengfeng bearing the intense pain in his body to leap towards her. He grabbed her shoulder tightly and yelled, “Hold on tight!”

Su Yuehan's mind was racing. She did not hear him.

When Li Cehngfeng saw her staring at him blankly, he thought she was in shock. Due to the critical circ.u.mstances, he had to grab her shoulder with one hand, then the edge of the cliff with the other.

However, the edge broke off before he could hold on for long and he fell. Terrified, he turned to see Madam Xie screaming in deep pain and Green Bead calling to her Young Master tearfully. Their faces grew further and further away from him!

Was he going to plummet to his death just like that?
