Himmlischer König

Kapitel 71

What a magnificent wedding dress!

Lotus lay on her sickbed.

Ye Chuhan crippled her martial arts!

Her wounds had been bandaged, her Ren and Du meridians were sealed, and all her internal energy had been dissipated. She didn't even have the strength to stand. She lay there silently, staring at the cold roof, like a walking corpse. Her tears of despair had dried, and her long, black hair cascaded down her snow-white clothes like clouds. Her eyes, however, were as lifeless as a deep well.

Only hatred!

A maddening hatred settled within her body, which was as dark as the night, like the most terrifying venomous snake or beast in the world, relentlessly gnawing at her last vestiges of soul and sanity.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the stone table, as if something alive was moving.

The lotus, seemingly dead, appeared to sense something. She slowly turned her head, her lifeless and cold gaze fixed on the direction from which the sound came.

It's a Heart-Connecting Gu!

After Ye Chuhan used his internal energy to cultivate a Lovesick Gu worm, the golden Heart-Connecting Gu, which had been dormant for half a year, suddenly began to rustle again, as if something inside the Gu had come to life.

The Love-Sickness Gu worm, cultivated from the Heart-Connecting Gu, can greatly increase the practitioner's skill, allowing them to break through their own limits and achieve in one day what others have accomplished in a year!

However, the backlash from the Gu worms is excruciating and extremely vicious, lasting until death. Apart from the Bai family, no one in the martial arts world knows how to break it!

A strange light slowly emerged from Lotus's lifeless eyes.

She reached out her trembling hand, pressed it against the soft couch, and with the last bit of strength she had left, turned her limp body over and struggled towards the ground!

She fell heavily to the ground.

A suffocating pain shot through her wound. Lotus let out a muffled groan, biting her lip to suppress the waves of pain, and reached out to drag herself forward little by little...

With each step forward, a sharp pain shot through the wound.

Her strength was completely depleted, and she had barely crawled a short distance before she was already panting heavily, with fine beads of sweat beading on her forehead and trickling down her cheeks...

She gritted her teeth and struggled to climb to the stone table.

On the stone table, a continuous rustling sound emanated from the Heart-Connecting Gu. Lotus stretched out her hand towards the table with all her might, pressing one hand firmly against it and leaning against the stone table, while the other hand reached for the incessantly rustling Heart-Connecting Gu's golden cauldron.

Her index finger followed the small hole on the cauldron and slowly probed inside.

As soon as her finger entered the cauldron, a row of sharp teeth immediately bit her finger. Lotus bit her lip, feeling a thin line of pain pierce her finger and slowly drill into her flesh.

That's a love-sick worm!

She endured the excruciating pain, her whole body tingling, yet she felt a warm internal force gathering within her, surging through the blood seals of her Ren and Du meridians…

The rustling sound inside the Heart-Connecting Gu gradually ceased.

Lotus gasped for breath in pain, her lips turning pale and bluish. Her body was numb and devoid of feeling. Suddenly, her arms went limp, and she slowly slid down the edge of the stone table...

The bright red wedding dress was dragged down by her numb body. Lotus lay on the ground, her vacant eyes opening only a tiny slit. Time seemed to freeze in that instant. Her lips trembled silently as she watched the red wedding dress slowly descend before her eyes...

“Lotus, one day,” he finally turned to look at her, his face refined and handsome, his voice deep and affectionate, “I want you to wear a wedding dress, a veil, and become my wife, Ye Chuhan.”

Looking at her dazed face, a hint of cold, gleeful indifference flashed in his eyes. "Do you really think I would like you? Do you really think I would give up the Heavenly Mountain Snow Gate and ride across the desert to live a carefree life with you? Or... do you really think I would be sad and in pain because of your rejection?"

That red wedding dress, covering the unconscious Lotus's body, burned like flames...

Covered in wounds, she finally understood...

So this is what love is like in this world...

Even though he had uttered so many vows of eternal love and devotion, in the face of tangled grudges and entanglements, it was nothing but a fleeting illusion... a hopeless deception...

evening.

Ye Chuhan slowly pushed open the door of the stone house.

He first saw Lotus, who had fainted in the flame-like wedding dress. He slowly walked over, stood in front of Lotus, and bent down to pick her up.

Lotus, having lost all her strength, collapsed into his arms, her face pale and her body ice-cold.

Ye Chuhan stared at her unconscious face, his fingers slowly gliding over her cloud-like hair.

A sharp pain shot through my heart, but it had nothing to do with the backlash from the Heart-Connecting Gu worm.

"Lotus, please don't blame me..."

He held her tightly in his arms as she lay unconscious, and when no one was watching, a deep look of sorrow finally appeared on his face.

"Only by doing this can I prevent you from betraying me and keep you here forever. You can't even imagine how afraid I am of being betrayed by others... Even if the whole world betrays me, I cannot let you leave me. I would rather deceive you or even kill you than let you go!"

That's just the kind of person he is.

Fearing betrayal, they always betray others before being betrayed themselves; fearing harm, they always draw their swords and hurt others before being hurt themselves!

The deeper the love, the deeper the hurt!
