Chapter 870: Chapter 870

Feeling someone watching her, Wen Xiao’ai tiredly opened her eyes, only to see the drunkard staring at her with a grin.

Her heart skipped a beat, but she quickly composed herself and closed her eyes to rest again.

She didn’t think the drunkard would notice anything.

"Come out, I’m begging you to come out and save her."

"I’ll give you anything you want, I’m begging you, please come out."

In the dark, waterlogged alley, a series of desperate pleas echoed, making those who heard them feel heartache.

"I’m begging you, please come out..."

Gu Sheng, holding Gu Yao’s nearly cold corpse, knelt on the ground, desperately pleading, crying out in pain.

After the heavy rain, the whole city seemed silent, the sky drizzling silently, slowly chilling people’s hearts.

Gu Sheng’s hope was also slowly washed away by these tiny raindrops.

At this moment, he was identical to the person he was two years ago when holding Gu Yao’s body, despairing, helpless, regretful.

"Yaoyao, I was wrong, as long as you come back to life, I won’t ask for anything, I won’t care who you’re with..."

"As long as you’re happy, I’ll give you anything."

"I’m begging you to come back, okay, I really made a mistake..."

Gu Sheng regretted it; in fact, after hurting Gu Yao that night, he regretted it.

He didn’t mean to do it, he just couldn’t bear the thought of Gu Yao getting engaged to Shangguan Yu, he was drunk, he couldn’t control himself.

From a young age, he treasured Gu Yao and never thought of hurting her.

"I was wrong..." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelꞁire.net

"I was really wrong..."

"As long as you come back, I’ll stay far away from you, I’ll never appear in front of you again."

Finally, when Gu Sheng was about to be completely hopeless, his hope appeared.

Zuo Yan’s sudden arrival was just like the time when he appeared in front of Gu Sheng before.

Whether this person was a ghost or a god, good or bad, why he helped, whether he had an agenda, Gu Sheng didn’t care, he only wanted Gu Yao to come back to life.

"I’m begging you, save her, as long as you can save her, I’ll agree to anything."

Just like before, he cast aside his pride, his dignity, begging without any respect.

In his life, Gu Sheng had only begged two people, both regarding Gu Yao’s death.

"To save her is possible, but the cost..." Zuo Yan smiled with a teasing smugness at the corners of his mouth.

"Whatever the cost, as long as you save her, I’ll die immediately, my life for hers."

Gu Sheng only wanted to save Gu Yao, but he overlooked that Gu Yao didn’t want to live at all.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have twice stabbed a knife into her own heart without hesitation.

He couldn’t care about that now, nor about what Gu Yao would choose if she came back to life again; he only wanted to save her.

As long as she came back, any price was worth it.

Even if his remaining two-year lifespan was traded for a heart still desiring death, he didn’t care.

He only wanted her to live, just to be alive.

"Truly infatuated," Zuo Yan mocked.

"Since that’s the case, I’ll fulfill your wish."

As he spoke, he suddenly made a move towards Gu Sheng, his single hand forming a claw, fiercely attacking Gu Sheng’s head.

His palm seemed to possess some kind of magnetic force, continuously drawing something from Gu Sheng’s head.

Seeing Gu Sheng in unbearable pain, Zuo Yan’s smile grew more reckless, that was the smile of a victor.

Nie Jiuque, I told you, if I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time.

You still want to use them to regain strength, return to your peak in the Demon Realm, I’m telling you, you can forget about it forever.
