Chapter 469: The Truth (1/2)
Su Yi didn’t want to answer, but for some reason he still answered. “She’s not dead yet.”
These words made He Xiaoqin turn rigid. He couldn’t help but doubt them. Nangong Yan was clearly not breathing and her body was cold against his back. How could she still be alive?
“Death is letting her off too easily!” said Su Yi coldly.
He Xiaoqin shuddered. This Su Yi was really scary. He wouldn’t even let off a corpse.
“Senior…”
“Why do you have so many useless things to say?” Su Yi turned back and glowered at He Xiaoqin. “If it weren’t for the fact that I was taking that girl into consideration, I would’ve killed you already. Shut up or else I won’t be polite!”
Su Yi’s tone was calm but it was filled with bloodthirsty frigidness. He Xiaoqin didn’t dare to say anything else.
Su Yi finally turned around, satisfied, and brought He Xiaoqin back to North Hara City.
In Treasure Sea Manor.
When Baili Yu heard from Su Yi that Tang Doudou had been pushed down Ten Kilometers Cliff, the rims of his eyes turned red. He glared at Nangong Yan who had been thrown on the ground in front of him as intense murderous aura emitted from his body.
His handsome features were now so contorted it looked as if he wanted to rip Nangong Yan apart with his own hands.
Su Yi stood to the side and said angrily, “She’s not dead yet. Torment her to make her pay for everything that she’s done! I’m seriously about to be angered to death!”
Right after Su Yi said that, he was lifted by his collar. He looked into Baili Yu’s bloodshot eyes and demanded, “Baili Yu, what are you doing?”
“Why didn’t you stop her!?” demanded Baili Yu coldly.
“Stop her? What do you mean by I didn’t stop her?” Su Yi had never been treated this way by anyone before. He grabbed Baili Yu’s hand to try and get him to let go.
However, no matter how he struggled, Baili Yu’s grip didn’t loosen in the slightest. It looked as if Baili Yu wanted to kill Su Yi as well to vent his anger.
Su Yi got angry. “You weren’t even able to protect your own wife. How can you have the nerve to blame me?”
These words immediately made Baili Yu falter. At the same time, self-blame filled his heart. If he hadn’t gone to investigate Bai Feiyun with Bai Lianhua today, if he had stayed by Tang Doudou’s side, how could this have happened?
“I warned you before not to get too close to that Bai Lianhua. From what I see, that woman’s definitely related to this incident as well!” Su Yi took advantage of this chance to fling off Baili Yu’s hand with a cold humph.
“I thought that you’d be able to protect the girl well, but she ended up constantly being injured even though she was with you. You’re seriously a useless fiancée! I’m cancelling your engagement with the girl right now! From now on, you, Baili Yu, have no relationship with my family’s Doudou!” said Su Yi angrily.
There was no way that Baili Yu would ever agree to have his engagement with Tang Doudou canceled. “I refuse!”
“Do you think your refusal makes any difference? No matter what, I’m the girl’s master and can make the decision on her marriage. I’m saying the engagement is canceled so it’s canceled!” Su Yi glared at Baili Yu. “I really regret betrothing Doudou to you!”
Baili Yu couldn’t be bothered to listen anymore. “I’m going to look for her. If the engagement’s to be canceled, I want to hear it from her own mouth!”
“She’s already fallen to her death! How could she say anything with her own mouth?” When this was brought up, Su Yi became furious again.
However, no words could get through to Baili Yu anymore. There was only one thought on his mind, which was to find Tang Doudou!
No matter where she was, even if she was in the Yellow Springs, he was going to find her and bring her back!
“Kid, where are you going!?” Su Yi followed Baili Yu out of Treasure Sea Manor. When he saw that Baili Yu was heading towards Ten Kilometers Cliff, he stopped following and rubbed his chin contemplatively. “It feels a little off. Could it be that the girl really is still alive?”
He couldn’t help but think this way. After all, which time hadn’t Tang Doudou’s situation been that of certain death? However, she would always get through it safety.
He had always joked that Tang Doudou’s life force was stronger than even that of a cockroach’s. Now that he thought about it, perhaps she would again avert disaster and soon appear to jump around in front of him again.
He purposefully avoided one thought, which was that this situation was completely different from the ones of the past. The Ten Kilometers Cliff was deep beyond measure. Falling would pulverize a person’s bones. No matter how strong her life force was, how could she survive with her body so broken?
At the bottom of Ten Kilometers Cliff.
Mist swirled around the bottom of the cliff year-round. It was impossible to see what the place looked like with the mist. All that could be faintly made out were strange grotesque black tree branches that were swaying slightly despite there being no wind.
A sudden gust of wind swept away some of the hazy mist as a white figure flew down and landed on the ground. His spotless garments lifted slightly with his steps and stirred the mist, making him seem like a celestial who was walking on clouds.
After a few seconds, he stopped.
In front of his feet was a woman whose eyes were closed as she lay on her side, seemingly lifelessly.
It was Tang Doudou, who had fallen down the cliff.
Her expression was peaceful and she was covering her abdomen with both hands. She didn’t seem to be breathing at all. The man dressed in white leaned over and tapped several acupuncture points on her body, then lifted her and gradually disappeared with her into the thick mist.
The place became tranquil again.
However, this tranquility didn’t last long. A red figure appeared from above.
That person had captivating features that seemed too beautiful to be human and his garment was forever the same brilliant red. It was Baili Yu, who had jumped down Ten Kilometers Cliff to search for Tang Doudou.
