But heaven knows how he managed to suppress the reluctance in his heart to leave so gracefully at this moment.
After all, his time was already running out, and he knew that Le Yao Yao had begun to suspect him.
If he didn’t leave now, the one who would be hurt the most would only be Le Yao Yao.
So, having been hurt once and feeling the pain once was already enough; he didn’t want her to suffer again.
Le Yao Yao, forget about him!
Live well and find someone… and marry them!
Leng Junyu held back his feelings of reluctance, biting down on Silver Fang, even drawing blood from his own lip.
His hands, hidden beneath his sleeves, slowly tightened, nails digging into his palms, yet he felt no pain.
Because at this moment, the pain in his heart overshadowed everything else…
In contrast to the man’s sorrow, Le Yao Yao stood there foolishly, staring blankly at him as he walked further away from her line of sight.
And her heart, at this moment, was being torn apart more and more with each step he took away from her, growing larger and more painful.
Could it really be that she was letting him go just like that!?
Would they truly never meet again!?
She still didn’t know who he really was or if he was even Yu!
Yoo!
As this thought crossed her mind, Le Yao Yao suddenly snapped back to reality.
Right, even if he was leaving, he should at least let her see his face before he went. Otherwise, she would carry that doubt—or that regret—within her for the rest of her life...
With that in mind, Le Yao Yao immediately dashed toward the direction the man had gone. However, after only a few steps, she froze in horror at what she saw not far away, her heart nearly shattering into pieces.
There he was, the man who had been walking so gracefully and confidently, now tumbling straight down the slope—
“No—”
Le Yao Yao's beautiful eyes widened in shock, her heart aching as she could only manage to scream out that one word.
In an instant, she unleashed her lightness skill and flew toward him like an arrow...
At that moment, Leng Junyu, who was falling down the slope, naturally heard that piercing scream echoing in his ears.
Yet despite this, he had no strength to stop his body from rolling down the hill. He felt utterly powerless, as if all his energy had been drained away. The pain surged from his heart, spreading inch by inch throughout his body.
He knew it; the poison had finally taken effect...
What they said was true—he didn’t have much time left...
Death did not frighten him.
After all these years, he had lived amidst blades and swords, long since indifferent to life and death.
However, ever since the Little One appeared, he wanted to live a little longer.
After all, only then could he truly stay by her side.
But...
Things did not go as he wished. When he disregarded life and death, he found himself unable to die. Yet when he wished to live, fate would not allow it...
Leng Junyu felt a mix of sorrow and despair, unable to control his body as it rolled down the slope. Just when he thought he was about to tumble into the raging river below, a delicate hand tightly grasped his wrist at the Critical Moment.
"Hold on tight to my hand, whatever you do, don’t let go!"
With all her strength, Le Yao Yao finally managed to grab the man's wrist at that Critical Moment.
However, the slope was too steep; despite her strength, she could not support a man's weight.
Even so, she dared not let go because below was a turbulent river filled with sharp rocks. Falling would either drown him or leave him severely injured from the jagged stones!
As Le Yao Yao's heart raced with worry, a fierce mountain wind suddenly howled past them, whipping their clothes and hair wildly. It also blew away the black veil that had been covering the man's face.
In that instant when she saw his true face, Le Yao Yao was struck as if by thunder, completely stunned.
The moonlight shone brightly like silk across the land, adding an enchanting allure to everything around them.
It illuminated the surroundings clearly enough for her to see everything in detail.
And as the veil lifted and revealed the man's features, Le Yao Yao could no longer tear her gaze away.
Because that handsome and familiar face...
Those thick, slanted eyebrows were so familiar, the narrow and deep-set eyes were so familiar, along with that resolute nose and tightly pressed thin lips. Everything about him was something she knew all too well.
This was the man she had missed for five years, who had caused her heartache for five years, who had occupied her thoughts for five years, and who had made her heart ache for five years. It turned out to be him...
"Yu, it really is you, it really is you!"
When she saw that familiar face, Le Yao Yao was both shocked and delighted, filled with excitement and confusion.
However, she also knew that this was not the time to ask him for an explanation; the most important thing now was to rescue him.
Because she had so much to say to him!
"Yu, grab my hand, hurry up and come up!"
Seeing the man not moving at all, Le Yao Yao felt a mix of anxiety and puzzlement.
After all, if it were the old Leng Junyu, with his exceptional skills, he would have effortlessly jumped up this steep slope without needing her help.
If he wasn't trying to throw his life away on purpose, then he must be injured, leaving him powerless.
Thinking of the latter made Le Yao Yao's heart tighten. She noticed that something seemed off with him; it was as if he couldn't muster any strength at all. The handsome face bore a look of intense pain that made her heart ache fiercely.
"Yu, don't worry. I will definitely pull you up, I promise!"
After saying this, Le Yao Yao exerted all her strength to pull the man hanging on the steep slope upward.
However, at this moment, Le Yao Yao was no longer the fragile woman she once was, but her strength was still limited. Pulling this tall man up was no easy task, especially since she had just drunk too much and now felt utterly weak.
Seeing this, Leng Junyu understood her predicament. As he noticed Le Yao Yao's excited and joyful expression upon seeing him, followed by her anxious attempts to pull him up, he immediately shouted out.
"Le Yao Yao, let go! Otherwise, you'll fall too!"
In his current situation, even if he were pulled up, it wouldn't be long before he faced the same fate. Why should he drag others down with him?
However, Le Yao Yao was oblivious to Leng Junyu's thoughts; all she wanted was to pull him up. After all, this man was the one she loved most.
Five years had passed—five whole years—during which she missed him, loved him, and longed for him.
She had thought he was dead and had been heartbroken. She wished she could join him in death for companionship.
Fortunately, heaven had shown mercy and brought him back to her. No matter how dangerous the situation ahead might be, now that she had grasped his hand, she would never let go.
If they were to die, they would die together!
With that thought in mind, Le Yao Yao not only refused to loosen her grip but also summoned every ounce of strength she had left. Even as her lips bit down hard enough to draw blood, she pressed on.
A layer of sweat covered her full forehead.
Seeing this, Leng Junyu felt an overwhelming sense of heartache.
He knew that Le Yao Yao lacked strength; if she continued to be so stubborn, she would surely fall alongside him. His anxiety grew even more intense as he shouted out again.
"Le Yao Yao, let go!"
"I won't! I will never let go, even if it kills me!"
With gritted teeth, Le Yao Yao pressed herself against the steep slope, her hands tightly gripping the man's wrist, refusing to release her hold.
Even as her body struggled under the weight of the man, she began to slide down slowly.
But even if it meant death, she would not let go. The pain of losing him once was already enough; how could she bear to lose him a second time!?
"Yu, please, you have to try harder. I... I'm running out of strength. Please..."
Le Yao Yao's words came out in gasps, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Why!?
Why did fate treat them this way!?
If heaven had brought Yu to her side, why was it now tearing them apart!?
She couldn't let Yu fall; she couldn't let him die!
"Yu, please, hold on! Quickly, pull my hand up..."
"Le Yao Yao, give up! I can't hold on any longer."
"No! I will never give up! After finally seeing you again, I won't let you leave me again, never!"
Hearing Leng Junyu's words, Le Yao Yao immediately spoke up, her tone both firm and pleading.
Looking at her stubborn expression, Leng Junyu knew that she would never let go, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Le Yao Yao, I am deeply poisoned and cannot survive. Even if you pull me up, I won't make it. So please, let go. It doesn't matter if I die; I don't want your life to be at stake too..."
Though he was reluctant to say it, given the circumstances, Leng Junyu had no choice.
Upon hearing his words, Le Yao Yao's mind went blank for a moment, as if struck by thunder.
"What!? Deeply poisoned!? Can't survive!?"
Le Yao Yao was completely stunned by Leng Junyu's revelation.
However, she also understood why Yu had returned but dared not acknowledge her during this time.
It turned out he was afraid of making her sad again, so he chose not to reveal himself, wanting to spend what little time he had left with her…
Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao felt a pang in her heart, and tears streamed down her cheeks like pearls that had come loose from a broken string.
Seeing this, Leng Junyu felt even more pain in his heart, yet he continued to speak. "So, Le Yao Yao, let go!" One death is enough.
"No! Even so, I will never let go. If we must die, then we all die together!"
Le Yao Yao tightened her grip and bit her lip defiantly.
After all, she had had enough of the days spent apart from him.
So if they were to die, then let them all die together!?
Anyway, she wasn't afraid of death, but—
"What will happen to our Xuan if you die!?"
Knowing that Le Yao Yao was stubborn and unafraid of death, Leng Junyu felt a tightness in his heart. He immediately spoke up.
Le Yao Yao felt a sharp pain in her heart upon hearing this.
Yes, what would happen to Xuan if she died?!
He was still so young; he had already lost his father. If he lost his mother now too, what would he do!?
Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao's heart ached fiercely, but at that moment, her resolve wavered.
However, at this moment, her strength had long been exhausted. The hand that had been gripping Leng Junyu's slowly loosened; she no longer had the strength to hold on.
"No, don't..."
"Le Yao Yao..."
Looking at the tearful Le Yao Yao, Leng Junyu sighed, feeling helpless.
In the end, when their hands completely separated, Leng Junyu's body rolled straight down the slope.
"No, Yu—"
Watching the body roll away, Le Yao Yao was overwhelmed with sorrow, collapsing to the ground and crying out to the heavens.
In the end, she steeled her heart and prepared to jump after him.
However, just as Le Yao Yao took a step forward, ready to leap into the steep slope, she felt a tight grip around her waist, pulling her back forcefully.
"Le Yao Yao, are you crazy? You can't jump down!"
An angry voice rang out. Hearing this, Le Yao Yao raised her tear-filled eyes and, upon seeing the familiar face before her, could no longer hold back. Everything went dark as she fainted.
...
It was dark—an abyss of blackness that felt like the gaping mouth of a ferocious demon, instilling fear in her heart.
Le Yao Yao stood alone in this pitch-black place, feeling a chilling emptiness inside. She wanted to escape this place, but deep down, she held onto one conviction: she had to find Yu; she had to find him!
"Yu, where are you!? Yu, please come out! Yu!"
"Le Yao Yao, I'm here!"
Perhaps hearing her call, a tall figure emerged from the depths of darkness.
Upon seeing him, Le Yao Yao's heart leaped with joy. Without hesitation, she rushed towards him.
Yet just as she reached out to embrace the man, all she grasped was empty air.
"Why... why is this happening!?" she cried, clutching her chest in pain.
Le Yao Yao's eyes widened in shock, unable to believe what she saw as she turned to look at the spot where the man stood.
Yet he remained rooted in place, unmoving. But she could no longer reach him. Why? Could it be...
"Le Yao Yao, forget me! I am already dead..."
The man's face was pale, his brows furrowed with an unmistakable sadness and helplessness.
Upon hearing this, Le Yao Yao felt as if her heart had plummeted from heaven to hell in an instant.
"No! I won't allow you to say that. You're not dead! You're not! Yu, please, come back! Come back to me, please don’t leave me!"
"Le Yao Yao, I'm sorry. I am already dead and cannot return. Please take good care of yourself and live well for both of us. And also, take care of Xuan; the child is still young. He has already lost his father and cannot lose his mother too..."
"No, I don't want this! Yu, please don’t leave me..."
"Le Yao Yao, I don't have much time left. I have to go now. We will meet again in the next life..." With those words, the man began to drift further away.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao cried out desperately to chase after him, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not reach him. Until his figure completely vanished from her sight.
"No, Yu, don’t go! Don’t!"
"Le Yao Yao, wake up! Le Yao Yao!"
A voice filled with urgency and concern broke through, pulling Le Yao Yao completely out of the darkness.
As she opened her eyes, Le Yao Yao felt a lingering fear, unable to distinguish whether she was in reality or still trapped in a dream.
Upon noticing a man sitting beside her, without a second thought, she reached out and tightly grasped his hands, anxiously exclaiming, "Don't go, don't go!"
"Alright, I won't go. Just calm down, Le Yao Yao," the man replied softly, trying to comfort her.
His voice was warm and soothing, like a gentle spring breeze that made one feel at ease.
However, upon hearing his voice, Le Yao Yao's heart plummeted from what felt like heaven into an unfathomable abyss.
"Brother? Is that you?!"
As her vision gradually cleared and she recognized the man beside her, Le Yao Yao finally came to her senses and murmured. The disappointment in her tone was unmistakable.
Dongfang Bai's beautiful starry eyes flickered with a hint of sadness and loss at her words.
In the end, he could only let out a soft sigh.
Le Yao Yao didn't notice Dongfang Bai's expression. Once she regained her composure, it seemed as if she remembered something important and spoke urgently again.
"Brother, Yu is not dead! He didn't die; he fell into the rapids down the slope! We need to go find him!"
Le Yao Yao immediately threw off the covers, intending to get up and find someone.
However, as soon as her feet hit the ground, it felt as if all her strength had been drained away in an instant. She became weak and wobbly, barely able to stand, and almost fell to the floor. Fortunately, Dongfang Bai was quick to catch her limp body.
"Le Yao Yao, you've been unconscious for three days and nights due to a fever. You just woke up; you should rest a little longer!"
Hearing Dongfang Bai's worried and pained words, Le Yao Yao's mind went blank for a moment, overwhelmed by disbelief. After a long pause, she finally managed to speak.
"What!? I had a fever? And I was unconscious for three days and nights!?"
"Yes, Le Yao Yao."
"Then... has Yu come back? I want to see him! How is he doing right now?!"
Whenever it came to matters concerning Yu, Le Yao Yao was filled with anxiety. She turned to Dongfang Bai, bombarding him with questions.
However, at Le Yao Yao's inquiries, Dongfang Bai's handsome face stiffened momentarily before he appeared hesitant to speak.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao's heart sank, a chill creeping up from her feet to the top of her head.
"Brother, tell me the truth! How is Yu doing right now?!"
"Le Yao Yao, please calm down and listen to me," Dongfang Bai said gently.
Seeing Le Yao Yao's pale face filled with worry and anxiety made his heart ache.
But at that moment, how could Le Yao Yao possibly remain calm!?
"Brother, can you please just tell me how Yu is doing right now? Has he found it or not? Is he alive, or..."
The last word, Le Yao Yao could not bring herself to say, and her voice broke with tears.
Seeing this, Dongfang Bai furrowed his brows and finally spoke up.
"Well, Yuta..."
