472 Thank you and Sorry (1/2)

In a blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Shi Xiaobai was still in deep slumber and he never woke up again in that period of time.

Speechless similarly did not magically open his eyes once again. After three days, all that happened was his face turning paler, and his body turning colder and stiffer. Even the last preposterous hopes had been shattered by reality.

Speechless was truly dead. He had managed to luckily survive having his left chest pierced by a sword, but he was killed by a smack that did not even leave him with any superficial wounds.

He did not die gloriously in battle but was instead smacked to death by a partner that had lost control of himself after the battle. This laughable and ironic but ridiculous and tragic matter had truly happened.

At that moment, in the Infernal domain's Infernal King palace, in a penthouse that was carved out to be a forbidden ground, Speechless's corpse lay quietly in a coffin.

The useless mask that he had placed on his face in order to hide his identity had already been removed, revealing his extremely handsome face. He was not much different than the Hero King who disguised herself as a male.

Speechless had always been the most outstanding youth in China. Be it his family background, talent, ability or looks, they were the cream of the crop. He became famous at a young age and did many things that not only rendered people speechless, but also left them in awe. The number of girls in China that were infatuated by him with only one-sided love were innumerable. When they left the tower, it was unknown how many hearts would be broken from the news of Speechless's death.

And at that moment, there were two girls inside the penthouse. It was unknown how many times they had cried over the past three days.

Mu Lengxi and Mu Yuesheng sat quietly in a corner of the penthouse. Their eyes were slightly red and puffy. Their expressions looked like they were in a trance.

They were from the same family. By tracing the family tree, they were considered cousins. However, Mu Lengxi had been taken away by her magic teacher from a young age, so by the time she returned to the Mu family, Mu Yuesheng had already been taken in by collateral relatives because of her lacking talent and natural endowment. As such, only the slightly older Mu Yuesheng knew of Mu Lengxi's existence. It was only because she was Speechless's blood sister. As for Mu Lengxi, she did not even know that she had an elder cousin that had been forced away in the family from a young age.

However, what they were facing was the simultaneous loss of a loved one. Similarly, they had weeped over it for a prolonged period of time and were aware of each other's identity. Naturally, they had an additional of feeling of being fellow sufferers. However, neither one of them attempted to console the other because they lacked that energy to spare.

All they did was spend time together in the dimly lit penthouse. They had been silent, calm and in grief for three days.

No matter how much grief they experienced, they eventually had to force themselves to accept the fact that their loved one had passed away.

”Creak.”

The door to the penthouse was gently pushed open as Liu Yu walked in silently.

The duo looked up to take a glance when they heard the sound before they lowered their heads once again.

Liu Yu sighed silently as he slowly closed the door. He walked slowly to a seat on the other side. Seating himself down, he hesitated for a long while before he took a deep breath. Using 'Telepathic Relay', he connected the three people in the penthouse.

”Can This Penniless Priest...have a minute with the two of you?” Liu Yu said telepathically.

Mu Lengxi and Mu Yuesheng slowly turned their heads and after a moment of hesitation, they nodded gently. Over the past three days,Liu Yu had apologized to them countless times. He had blamed himself from failing to prevent the tragedy from happening despite his close proximity. For that, they naturally did not truly blame him. No one could have prevented an accident they did not anticipate. However, they did not have the mental capacity to comfort him. As such, when they saw Liu Yu come in, they thought that he was there to apologize once again. They subconsciously avoided his gaze.

But at that moment, from the look on his face, he did not seem like he was here to apologize again?
