Chapter 1072 The Blood-sharing Contract (1/2)
The immortal was dumbfounded by the question.
It made her ponder on the meaning and value of her own existence.
”The reason of my existence is that I aim to become stronger and eventually return to the Primitive Wilderness,” the immortal answered adamantly, after giving it some thought.
”Hah! And then what? So what if you get stronger and return to the Primitive Wilderness? What happens after that?” Darren said harshly.
The immortal shook her head. She thought she had found the answer, but Darren's follow-up questions only baffled her even more.
”Well according to what you just said, your life is just as meaningless as mine,” the immortal argued defensively.
”Nice try, but I'm different from you. I miss the love of my life day and night. I have someone to protect. That's the meaning of my life,” said Darren softly. His eyes glimmered with a bittersweet happiness as he spoke.
Darren's words made the immortal's heart wrench. From the way he spoke, she could see that he was speaking an irrefutable truth. It was a message from the heart.
The immortal's beautiful eyes gazed at Darren in a mix of envy and inspiration. She suddenly felt that this creature in front of her truly lived his life to the fullest.
Jealousy was an emotion that was alien to her. It made her heart feel heavy and she felt strange from the newfound feeling.
”Make me stop falling, please.”
Five hundred thousand kilometers below them was the Sea of Nothingness. Even if a being such as the immortal fell into it, like all, she would turn into nothingness.
By now, the immortal was already seriously injured. After being chased down by Darren, she had used up the rest of her immortal's power, and could not muster up enough energy to stop her body from falling.
She knew she had no choice but to count on this human being.
Darren did not respond, so she choked down her pride and muttered again, ”Save me. In exchange, I'll be your wife.”
Darren was stunned and a bit embarrassed by the offer.
Was this still the cold and heartless immortal he was talking to? How could she say something like that?!
