Chapter 1391: Chapter 1391

"Why?" Lanling asked.

Gou Li knelt quietly on the ground, motionless.

She had no way to answer Lanling’s question, as her heart was already filled with extreme anguish and regret.

"Master, I have no way to answer. If I must give a reason, it is my foolishness!" Gou Li said.

Lanling said, "Can you imagine what consequences you will face?"

Gou Li nodded and said, "I know I am undoubtedly doomed, but... I still want to give it a try!"

"Give it a try? Try what?" Lanling asked.

Gou Li said, "Try to see if I have any chance of survival, to see if you can give me an opportunity."

Lanling nodded and said, "Very well, then go and try."

He was incredibly calm; as for Gou Li’s betrayal, it couldn’t be said that he had predicted it, but he definitely wasn’t surprised.

The reason for sparing Gou Li’s life was merely an experiment, a test on the Barbarians.

After all, Lanling couldn’t kill all of the Rakshasa Tribe; he always had to make some of them his own.

Gou Li said, "Please bring my son to me!"

Lanling waved his hand, and Gantuo went out.

A moment later, Gou Li’s son, Constantine II, was brought in.

Having been captured for more than a month, Constantine II had lost a significant amount of weight, and his face was pale without any sign of blood.

When he was first captured, he was intensely furious, especially upon learning that his mother Gou Li had become Lanling’s woman. He was eager to kill Gou Li with his own hands.

However, now, upon seeing Gou Li, he immediately fell to his knees.

"Mother, save me, save me! Please plead with Chief Lanling to spare me." Constantine II cried bitterly on his knees, "I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender!"

Seeing this scene, Lanling was somewhat surprised, and Gou Li was even more surprised.

This son of hers had no other merits except being stubborn and possessing a reckless courage.

Who would have thought he would kneel down now, begging to surrender?

Seeing his mother unresponsive, Constantine II crawled on his knees to Lanling, clutching his leg and said, "Chief Lanling, please don’t kill me, spare my life, I am willing to serve you, I am willing to become your servant!"

Lanling asked, "Why?"

Constantine II said, "Because you defeated my father, because you defeated Lord Nai Shu!"

That sentence revealed the entire truth.

In the Barbaric Wilderness, strength is revered. All pride, all dignity, is nothing in the face of the strong.

Lanling still remained silent, looking at Gou Li.

Gou Li, to save her own life, said she wanted to try and make a final effort.

So Lanling watched how she tried, how she intended to quell his heart set on killing her.

Gou Li took a deep breath, went to Constantine II, gently embraced him and said, "I’m sorry, son, all these years I’ve only doted on your sister and haven’t cared enough for you."

Constantine II wailed, "Mother, please save me, save me!"

Gou Li sighed, "It will be over soon, it won’t hurt at all!"

Constantine II was taken aback.

Gou Li’s arm gently clasped her son Constantine II’s neck, then suddenly twisted it!

"Crack..." A crisp sound.

Constantine II’s neck was directly broken, his face twisted all the way to the back.

He didn’t die instantly, but started convulsing, convulsing...

Only after a few minutes did Constantine II die. His originally small eyes widened like cowbells, bloodshot, staring deathly at his mother, Gou Li.

Even in death, he couldn’t believe that it was his mother who had killed him personally.

After killing her son, Gou Li didn’t shed a tear. After letting her son’s body slump to the ground, she still knelt motionless on the ground, awaiting Lanling’s judgment.

Seeing Gou Li personally kill her own son, whether it was Suo Mo, Gantuo, or Duoduo, their faces twitched, and their eyes contracted.

It is said that a tiger, though fierce, will not eat its own cubs. Even in the Barbaric Wilderness, even among the not-so-civilized Barbarians, there is a strong maternal affection. Who would have thought Gou Li was so ruthless and cruel, to the point of killing her own son to survive. Latest content published on novelFɪre.net

And in the room, the other expressionless person was Lanling.

He was indifferent to Gou Li killing her own son, as if it were just killing a rat.

"Is this your attempt?" Lanling asked.

"Yes!" Gou Li said, "This is my attempt. No matter what judgment you make next, I will have no objections. But I want to say, should you accept my loyalty, should you spare my life, I will be loyal to you for all eternity, never speaking of betrayal! The heavens as witness, the Demon God as witness!"

Lanling said slowly, "I am willing to believe you, and willing to give you a chance. But... for a traitor, there is never a second chance. Once, means death!"

Upon hearing this, Gou Li’s delicate body trembled, then she pressed herself even lower to the ground, motionless.

Lanling said, "Alright, I am willing to give you a chance for judgment, to see if the heavens are willing to let you live!"

Upon hearing this, Suo Mo immediately stood up and said to Gantuo, Duoduo and others, "Let us go out!"

The group left, leaving only Lanling and Gou Li.

Suo Mo and Gantuo pretended not to hear, but Duoduo couldn’t bear it and gave his brother a hard slap on the back of the head, saying sternly, "Stop talking nonsense!"
