Everyone else stood quietly at the side. At this moment, they didnât know how to comfort Huo Yuhao. Even though they could guess what had happened, they didnât want to believe it was the truth.
Wang Qiuâer also appeared to be in a daze as she carried Wang Dongâer. Tears streamed down her cheeks and dripped onto Wang Dongâerâs body.
Finally, Huo Yuhao crawled over in front of her. He tugged at her pants and wanted to get up to see Wang Dongâer.
Wang Qiuâer squatted down and passed Wang Dongâer to Huo Yuhao.
Right now, Wang Dongâer wasnât breathing. However, her eyes were wide open. Even though she was already dead, Huo Yuhao could still see the reluctance and yearning in her eyes.
âDongâer, Dongâerâ¦â Huo Yuhao peered into the sky and wailed tragically. His hysterical voice echoed loudly in the air. Tears flowed down his face; he had broken down completely now.
What happened? What happened after the projection disappeared?
ââ
âThereâs no conclusion from this duel between the two of you. Since this is the case, weâll use another method. Huo Yuhao is on the brink of death right now. Heâll survive as long as one of you is willing to sacrifice your life for his. However, you must remember that he might end up with the other person if he survives and you die. This means that you might grant your love rival her wish if you sacrifice your life to save him. The two of you only have three seconds to decide.â
âThreeâ¦â
Wang Qiuâer was in a daze. She subconsciously looked at Wang Dongâer, and was stunned.
There was a pair of milky-white hands that radiated fearlessnessâ¦.
There was a pair of eyes that yearned for life and loveâ¦
There was a sorrow that carried a sense of reluctanceâ¦
There was a natural stroke of decisiveness that gave no regard for anything elseâ¦.
There wasnât any hesitation. There was no delay or waiting. It was just for Huo Yuhao, so that he could escape danger a second earlier.
âChiâââ
Wang Dongâerâs pressed her milky-white hands against her forehead, and a blinding golden light shone.
Her Radiant Butterfly Goddessâ wings instantly changed into countless spots of light before dissipating.
She wasnât looking at the sky, but at Wang Qiuâer. There was a look of pleading and exhortation in her eyes. There was also a strong look of reluctanceâ¦
âDongâer!â Wang Qiuâer shouted, and she turned into a beam of flowing light before charging towards Wang Dongâer. She grabbed Dongâer before she collapsed to the ground.
Wang Dongâer didnât hold back as she attempted suicide. At this moment, there was no longer any vibrancy in her eyes. Blood oozed out from her pores too. However, there was also a tinge of satisfaction in her eyes even though she was reluctant.
âI⦠have⦠wonâ¦â
Tears flowed uncontrollably from Wang Qiuâerâs eyes at this moment. âYouâve won. Yes. Youâve won. Dongâer, Dongâer, donât die⦠youâ¦â
Wang Dongâer smiled, but didnât shut her eyes. She looked into the sky instead, at the figure that had retracted his golden trident. She also looked at Huo Yuhao, who still hadnât risen to his feet.
The bluish-gold figure holding the trident seemed to be staring back at her. The light from his body dimmed, and he silently vanished from the sky.
Wang Dongâer was trying to look at Huo Yuhao, even though she was slowly losing her life. However, she still couldnât bear to shut her eyes even as she was about to die. She still wanted to take a last look at Huo Yuhao.
I really want to be your wifeâ¦
I really want to be with you every momentâ¦
I really want to bear our kidsâ¦
I really want to love you foreverâ¦
I really want toâ¦
The shiny beads of tears in her eyes also seemed to turn powdery-blue as they streamed down Wang Dongâerâs cheeksâ¦
Wang Qiuâer was in a daze as she lifted Dongâer up. Her tears continuously fell onto Wang Dongâerâs clothes. As she watched Wang Dongâer slowly lose her life, she knew that she had lost.
âYou win. You love him more than me. You can be completely selfless for him. At that moment, I actually wished that you would die for him so that I could be with him. I donât feel maligned losing to you. However, why am I in so much pain? Dongâer, I should be the one whoâs dying. Iâve lost. Iâve really, completely lost this time. You died for him, and I canât bring myself to lie to him. Iâve lost, and youâve won. Heâll only love one person in his entire life. Itâll never changeâ¦â
Boundless golden light descended from the sky and quickly engulfed them. In the next moment, the stars realigned, and time was distorted.
â
âShe won. She used her life to tell me that she loves you more than me. She won.â Wang Qiuâer was smiling bitterly as she stood up. Her body trembled as she turned around and walked away step by step. She walked toward the boundless golden world.
No one stopped her. No one could stop her.
No one had expected that the person to perish in this Yin-Yang Love Querying Valley would eventually be Wang Dongâer.
Huo Yuhao hugged Wang Dongâerâs body tightly. He only felt that his heart had left with her. At this moment, the others were surrounding him. Bei Bei squatted down and softly clasped Huo Yuhaoâs shoulder.
However, no one was able to say any comforting words. Xiao Xiao and Jiang Nannan were already crying miserably.
Dongâerâs dead. Dongâerâs actually dead⦠sheâs dead because she wanted Yuhao to remain aliveâ¦
Suddenly, Huo Yuhao lifted his head and opened his eyes wide. He shouted, âDongâer isnât dead. Dongâer isnât dead. This, this is the Yin-Yang Love Querying Valley. You can revive her, right? Right?â Huo Yuhao looked into the sky. After this, he placed Wang Dongâer down beside him and crawled forward a bit before starting to kowtow.
âPlease, please, revive Dongâer. Iâm willing to exchange my life and spirit for hers. Pleaseâ¦â
He was crying his guts out at this moment. In just a few kowtows, Huo Yuhaoâs forehead was already bruising and bleeding.
Xu Sanshi wanted to go forward to pull him up, but he was stopped by Bei Bei. Bei Bei knew that this was the only way in Huo Yuhaoâs eyes.
The entire place suddenly lit up. Wang Qiuâer was dragged back by an irresistible force. Different streaks of light illuminated everyoneâs bodies, sealing them all.
At this point, the indifferent voice that everyone was afraid of echoed forth.
âDai Huabin, have you realized what you truly want after going through so much?â
Dai Huabin was stunned. He lifted his head into the sky and replied, âI just want to be with my Lulu. Nothing else matters.â Zhu Luâs injuries left him grief-stricken. However, he felt that he was very fortunate as he looked at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dongâer. At least Zhu Lu was still aliveâ¦
âYou were drawn by beauty, but you managed to find yourself in the end. This shows that affection is important to you. Youâve passed your Sincerity Adventure round, and youâll be rewarded. Your reward will be a Substitution of Love. You can choose to move Zhu Luâs injuries to your own body to fully heal her. If you donât want to, you can choose to increase both yours and Zhu Luâs soul power by five ranks.â
After hearing the the voice, Dai Huabinâs eyes lit up. âI choose to accept the Substitution of Love. Please begin.â
After hearing until here, even Huo Yuhao lifted his head. He was surprised as he looked at Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu. Substitution of Love. If thereâs such a thing, does it mean I can substitute my own life for Dongâerâs? He suppressed his sorrow and hugged Wang Dongâer tightly as he watched Dai Huabin and Zhu Luâs bodies change.
A streak of golden light flashed by and landed on their bodies. Something strange occurred instantly. Dai Huabinâs right arm vanished like melting ice, while Zhu Luâs right arm was slowly growing out. She was also trembling slightly.
Dai Huabin seemed to be in great pain, but he didnât even look at his right arm. He only grit his teeth and bore the pain.
It wasnât just his right arm that was experiencing changes. His face was also experiencing changes⦠it was starting to rot!
Dai Huabin lowered his head to look at Zhu Lu. Seeing that her injuries were slowly healing, the look in his eyes turned gentler even though he was perspiring from the intense pain.
Suddenly, the golden lights that engulfed them became stronger before vanishing along with the two of them.
âXu Sanshi, you were willing to give up your future as a soul master for love. Itâs very touching. You are also filled with kindness. Youâve passed your Sincerity Adventure round. I believe youâve already obtained the best reward that you could possibly get.â
Xu Sanshiâs gaze shifted away from Huo Yuhao and Wang Dongâer. He nodded and said, âYes, Iâve obtained the best reward. Iâll treasure Nannan in the future.â
âJiang Nannan, youâve also rid yourself of the trauma in your heart. You are gentle and kind, but you couldnât fulfill your filial duties because of what happened to you. But Xu Sanshi fulfilled them for you, and thus youâve also passed. Compared to Xu Sanshiâs complete awakening of his Xuanwu, your reward will be less grand. Your soul power will be increased to Rank 60. You can go and find a suitable soul ring now.â
A huge beam of golden light descended from the sky and engulfed them. Jiang Nannan also lit up with white halos. As the light flashed, the two of them disappeared.
Rewards. They all passed, and are being rewarded.
The sorrow in Huo Yuhaoâs eyes slowly turned into hope. When will it be my turn? When will it be our turn? I donât want anything else but to revive Dongâerâ¦
