C154 (2/2)

”I am actually a very ordinary girl with a very ordinary background and family. However, one day, I met someone. To be exact, it was a male ghost.” I paused, too tired to say a single word.

”He's called Zhang Ziyuan, and said that he's my husband. At that time, I felt that it was very absurd, how could I have such a husband, how could I become a normal couple, or even a husband and wife.”

Of course I thought it was inconceivable, but Zhang Ziyuan didn't think so. He used his actions to express that he had the courage to love me and protect me.

Sometimes, he had to pay the price with his life, but it was nothing to fear.

I tell my own story just to tell this young man that there are times when, despite all the helplessness of life, I am not going to decide. But there are some things you can do if you have the courage to do them.

However, the process may be very difficult, and the result may not be satisfactory, but if you have done it, you will not regret it.

The young man seemed to understand what I was saying. He stood up and pulled me up.

”How are you? Are you alright? ” Instead, the young man came to care for me.

”I'm just very tired. It seems like all the energy in my body has been drained. I don't want to care about anything at all.” I laughed.

”But you told me a story that could move me. I know, I've decided on one thing. Even if I fail, I won't complain. Right? Thank you.”

It was as if he saved a young man who failed to make it in time. Although he had been disturbing our actions, we seemed to have come to an understanding after thinking about it for a while.

I suddenly remembered Ghost King and Shuo Yue. I dragged my exhausted body with the intention to run over and take a look.

”Sister Su Su, rest, let me do it!” Yue Feng took the initiative to shoulder the heavy responsibility of being my transportation vehicle.

He hopes that Zhang Ziyuan does not see it for a while, or else he will be jealous again. He will not tell me directly if he is jealous, but he will constantly cause trouble for other areas.

When we rushed to the battlefield where the Ghost King and Shuo Yue were fighting, we were stunned.

Everyone had already arrived and should have gotten rid of the annoying monster, while the Ghost King was nowhere to be seen.

But Shuo Yue was lying on the ground covered in blood, her upper body was being held by Xiao Cui, and her eyes were tightly shut.

”How is he?” I cried out in alarm. Suddenly, I remembered that when we leave, he would be the only one to deal with Ghost King. Furthermore, he was severely injured, so I didn't know what had happened during this period of time.

Zhang Shaowu was doing his best to check on the wound, ”It seems to be quite serious …”

”Just where did it hurt, is it important?!” I anxiously asked, I cannot let anything happen to Shuo Yue, otherwise how am I going to explain myself to Jiang Ruoyun.

As I thought of this, the fear in my heart gradually rose. Looking at Shuo Yue whose face was completely devoid of blood, my heart slowly sunk.

”How about this, it's not convenient for us to treat our wounds here. Let's go back first!” Zhang Ziyuan said as he carried Shuo Yue on his shoulders and led the way back. The others followed suit.

All along the way, Yue Feng had been carrying me on his back. Even though I felt that it wasn't appropriate, I really didn't have any strength left, and couldn't walk back at all. Zhang Ziyuan was the one at the front with Shuo Yue on his back. Looking at his serious expression, it seemed that Shuo Yue's situation was not looking good.

The young man followed me in silence. He was in the same inn as us, so he probably didn't know where he was going.

It was as if he also felt the stifling atmosphere and didn't say anything along the way. He probably blamed himself in his heart, so many people risked their lives to protect the illuminating lamp, and there were even some who were injured that couldn't be cured. He was still messing things up, probably because he felt embarrassed in his heart.

After returning to the inn, everyone was shut outside. Without Fu Junqing, no one knew if he would be able to treat such a heavy injury.

He lay back down in his room and thought about everything. Knowing that this was originally a dangerous operation, everyone understood that it was very likely that there would be no return. I was initially very optimistic, thinking that with the team being filled with experts, there shouldn't be any problems.

But when something happens to someone, my heart feels like it's being grabbed, like it's my own responsibility not to protect everyone.

But am I not also nearly done for, if there was no Master of the Dark World coming to my rescue.

He had never known that there would be a heavy price to pay for doing something …

As he drifted into a deep sleep, Zhang Ziyuan appeared in his dreams again. It was as if he was in a nightmare that would happen every time I fell asleep. He laid on the ground, and stretched out his hand towards me.
