Chapter 753: Stop Using Your Strength

An invisible pressure permeated the room, making breathing heavy.

Di Xuanming suddenly stood up and said, "Ali, please remove the seal in my body."

Luo Li was startled and subconsciously refused: "No."

Di Xuanming raised his hand and stroked her cheek. "He's attacking people around me. This time it was Uncle Gu, but what about next time?"

If it's her next time, he won't forgive himself.

A struggle flashed in Luo Li's eyes, but Di Xuanming's hands were warm and firm. He gently stroked her skin, causing a barely perceptible tremor.

His deep eyes reflected determination, as if he was ready to face any storm just to protect her and their common peace.

He pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Even if the seal is lifted, I can still hold on for a year or two, it will just be more painful."

Luo Li looked at him, her eyes full of heartache, but she could also read the determination in his eyes.

Finally, she said hoarsely, "Okay."

She placed her fingertips on his heart, and in just a moment, the power protecting his heart and soul dissipated.

Di Xuanming's face turned pale instantly, and the familiar pain of his soul being pulled swept through his body.

Luo Li pinched his chin and fed him a pill, "Do you feel okay?"

This pill was a Soul Emperor-level pill, and the pain was instantly halved, bringing it under control, and his complexion also looked better.

Di Xuanming smiled, "Not bad."

At this moment, Gu Yanhe on the bed made some noises, and Luo Li turned around instantly, "Uncle Gu?"

She saw that Gu Yanhe's wound had stopped bleeding, and immediately took out the pill and fed it into his mouth.

Ye Yuan had just come in. When he saw Gu Yanhe, he immediately walked to the bedside, gently helped him up, and let him lean on the soft quilt.

The pill melted in his mouth, and a warm force flowed through his body, repairing his damaged heart meridians.

Gu Yanhe's pale lips gradually regained their color, and his eyelids trembled slightly, as if he was about to wake up.

Luo Li's eyes were filled with concern, and she whispered, "Uncle Gu, how do you feel?"

Gu Yanhe slowly opened his eyes, but instead of looking at her immediately, he immediately locked onto Di Xuanming.

Seeing his face pale slightly, his eyes moved slightly.

Luo Li frowned slightly, "Uncle Gu?"

She narrowed her eyes. Why did she feel that something was wrong with Uncle Gu?

Gu Yanhe coughed lightly, and his face regained some color.

He pressed his head and looked at Luo Li, "What's wrong with me?"

Ye Yuan glanced at Luo Li, and seeing that she didn't speak, he gave a brief explanation himself.

"I'm injured?" There was a hint of trance in Gu Yanhe's eyes, as if he had just returned from a distant dream.

He gently massaged the solar plexus, with a barely perceptible delay in his movements.

Seeing this, the young man hurried forward and handed over a cup of warm water, his worry evident on his face.

He drank it slowly, the warm liquid sliding down his throat, bringing a sense of comfort.

Luo Li stood silently by the side, her eyes a little complicated, but she just sighed softly, perhaps she was overthinking it.

She turned to look at him, with a hint of concern in her tone: "Yes, Uncle Gu, you are injured. Do you remember what happened before you were injured?"

Gu Yanhe slowly shook his head upon hearing this. "I only remember returning to my room after discussing things with Xiaoming. Afterwards, I sensed a strange aura, and before I could react, I lost consciousness."

He looked at Di Xuanming, "Xiaoming, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so grim?"

Di Xuanming was about to say that nothing was wrong, but Luo Li told him what had just happened, "Because I saved you, I lifted the seal."

"Stupid!" Gu Yanhe's eyes turned red as he looked at Di Xuanming and said, "How could you do this? Xiaoming, I promised the Patriarch and Madam that I would take good care of you. How could you do this for me..."

Di Xuanming curled his lips and smiled, "Uncle Gu, you raised me from the age of nine to adulthood. If I didn't save you, my parents would be unhappy."

Gu Yanhe paused and gritted his teeth: "That bastard, how could he be so despicable? It's okay, Xiaoming. We should be returning to the gods soon. Uncle Gu will definitely bring you and your wife home!"

A soft look flashed across Di Xuanming's eyes, and he smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Luo Li looked at Gu Yanhe and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she was really too suspicious.

That's Gu Yanhe, how could he do anything that would be detrimental to Di Xuanming?

She took out a few bottles of pills and handed them to Gu Yanhe, curling her lips and saying, "This pill can relieve Ah Ming's pain. One pill will last for seven days. Uncle Gu, you must keep a close eye on him and make sure he takes it on time."

Gu Yan's worry didn't fade away. He looked at the pill Luo Li handed over, stretched out his hand and took it solemnly, sighing softly, "Thank you, Xiaoli."

"It's okay," Luo Li shook her head and instructed, "Uncle Gu, you need to rest for a few more days. Don't go out these days."

Gu Yanhe nodded, "Okay, I'll make a note of it."

After Luo Li finished speaking, she pulled Di Xuanming out.

Di Xuanming nodded to Gu Yanhe, then obediently followed Luo Li outside.

Luo Li held Di Xuanming's hand and stood under the swaying bamboo leaves in the courtyard. The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone on them.

There were still traces of night dew on the bluestone road under their feet, which sparkled with crystal light in the morning light, like stars falling into the mortal world.

Di Xuanming's eyes were as gentle as water. He followed Luo Li's back closely, with a steady pace, as if his whole world was in front of him.

A gentle breeze blew by, causing Luo Li's hair to flutter gently. She occasionally tilted her head to look at God Xuanming's smiling eyes. She said helplessly, "You can still smile?"

Di Xuanming turned around and hugged her, smiling and saying, "At least I can accompany you before I leave. Of course I'm happy."

Luo Li said softly: "You can't use your strength anymore, it will make you feel worse."

Seeing that Di Xuanming didn't speak, she nudged his shoulder and continued, "You will stay in Jinglong Territory during this secret realm, okay?"

Using his strength would not speed up the process of his soul leaving his body, but it would make him suffer excruciating pain.

The breeze gradually died down, and the surroundings fell into silence, with only the rustling sound of leaves.

Di Xuanming's gaze locked onto him. He shook his head slightly, his voice low and firm: "Li'er, with you by my side, even pain can be turned into joy."

Luo Li disagreed, "Di Xuanming, I'm not kidding. You've already broken the seal for Uncle Gu, so you might as well take a good rest during this time."

Before he could speak, she continued, "And through this incident, we've already made it clear that he's not incapable of taking you away directly. Perhaps he just wants to torture you, and we can't do what he wants."

Di Xuanming lowered his eyes with a hint of persistence in them. He wanted to continue speaking, but Luo Li stood on tiptoe and kissed his slightly pale lips.
