Chapter 119 Yunxi, Come Back to My Fiefdom with Me
Just as Yunxi's body was completely submerged in the passage, Gu Nanxiao suddenly pounced over, but unfortunately, he was a little too late and only managed to grab the hem of Yunxi's skirt.
At this moment, the sun began to emerge from the darkness little by little, and the light curtain on the passageway began to ripple.
No matter how hard Gu Nanxiao kicked and punched, he couldn't penetrate the light barrier. Only his hand, which had already reached into the barrier, was still tightly gripping the hem of his clothes.
Since he couldn't get in, he tried to pull Yunxi out of the light screen. But as soon as he pulled her to the edge of the light screen, he heard a tearing sound and the fabric almost snapped.
Startled, Gu Nanxiao immediately stopped pulling, no longer daring to drag Yunxi. It seemed he could only ask Yunxi to walk out on her own.
He could only see Yunxi's blurry face through the light barrier. Gu Nanxiao hurriedly explained to Yunxi, "I used my military merits and official position to get my engagement with Shen Yujiao called off."
From this day forward, we will be together for life, and no one else will ever appear in our lives. Even as a temporary measure, I will never agree to marry anyone else.
Yunxi, you know how I feel. I will never fall in love with any woman other than you. Please stay for me, okay?
I will never hurt or disappoint you again. If you still hate me for bullying you that day, then you should stay and take revenge yourself.
I promise I won't talk back or fight back, until you've gotten your revenge.
Also, don't overthink Shi Qingchen's matter. I know you sent several groups of people to assassinate him, but the reason you spared his life was only so that you could stay and seek revenge.
Yunxi, please come back first.
Shi Qingchen's life is now in our hands. You can take your revenge however you want; I will do everything in my power to help you achieve your goal.
Yunxi looked at Gu Nanxiao without saying a word, only silently weeping. She didn't know what to say, and struggled countless times in her heart about whether to bravely stay and try again, so that Gu Nanxiao might really change?
Yunxi's hesitation seemed unwavering to Gu Nanxiao, and he immediately pleaded earnestly, "Even if you don't love me, even if you don't respond to me, even if you refuse to marry me, I just ask you to stay, okay?"
You can use my people and my power as you please. Please, since I still have some value, stay and continue to use me, okay?
I will do everything in my power to make anything you want happen, just please stay...
Gu Nanxiao gradually became incoherent, and Yunxi's eyes were already blurred by gushing tears.
At that moment, the piece of clothing that Gu Nanxiao was holding tore open again with a ripping sound. It was as if the last connection between the two was about to break.
In desperation, he suddenly knelt down on both knees. His guards behind him immediately cried out in unison, "Master, you mustn't!"
Gu Nanxiao turned around and shouted angrily, "Why not? Yunxi has knelt before me so many times, what's wrong with me kneeling before Yunxi?"
I'll kneel now, and I'll kneel every day if Yunxi stays. I don't care about dignity or face, I just want my wife..."
After reprimanding his subordinates, Gu Nanxiao turned back to Yunxi inside the barrier and pleaded, choking back tears, "Yunxi, please stay... Ah!"
Before Gu Nanxiao could finish his plea, a tearing pain suddenly shot through his wrist, which was extended inside the light screen.
The total solar eclipse was about to disappear completely, and the passage would be completely closed. His wrist was being pressed down by an invisible force, almost breaking the bones.
At this moment, a large amount of blood was splattering from Gu Nanxiao's wrist. Seeing this, Yunxi cried out, "Gu Nanxiao, let go! If you don't let go, your hand will break!"
Despite the cold sweat beading on Gu Nanxiao's forehead, he still clung tightly to Yunxi's skirt, refusing to let go.
Seeing that the blood was flowing more and more heavily from his wrist, Yunxi tried to pry Gu Nanxiao's hand off her clothes. But after letting out muffled groans, Gu Nanxiao still held on tightly to Yunxi.
Just before the total solar eclipse completely disappeared, Yunxi finally couldn't bring herself to step back through the light curtain in the light channel.
Gu Nanxiao was initially incredulous as he looked at Yunxi, who had returned to his side. After a moment of stunned silence, he immediately and joyfully used his uninjured hand to pull her tightly into his embrace.
He buried his face in Yunxi's neck, greedily inhaling her long-lost fragrance, his whole body trembling with excitement.
This loss made him truly understand what it meant to be heartbroken and devastated. He would never do anything so foolish again, and he would never drive Yunxi away again.
After a while, Gu Nanxiao composed himself and slowly stood up straight. At this moment, Yunxi also stopped crying and looked up to meet his eyes.
Gu Nanxiao lowered his head slightly, looking at the woman he had longed for day and night, and said sincerely, "Yunxi, come with me to my fiefdom, be my queen, and stay by my side forever, okay?"
Yunxi shook her head calmly and said, "The reason I came back is because I don't want you to lose your arm, not because I want to stay and marry you."
The way we met may have been a mistake from the start. Although I'm staying for now, I want to be free to come and go.
From this moment on, I am no longer anyone's concubine or appendage. As for whom I will marry in the future, it will be entirely up to my own will, and I will no longer be manipulated by anyone.
And remember this: I never said I forgave you, nor did I agree to marry you. I also have my doubts about all the promises you just made. If I meet someone who moves me more someday, I'm ready to marry someone else at any time.
Therefore, you must promise not to interfere with my decisions and life before we can have normal contact. If you cannot do this or do not agree, then I still have ways to disappear from your world, and I believe you understand that I have this ability.
After hearing Yunxi's words, Gu Nanxiao's smile crumbled inch by inch. He swallowed hard several times, finally managing to utter a single word: "Okay." His expression was one of such distress that he was almost about to cry.
Yunxi ignored his puppy-like expression, gently pushed away the arm that was hugging her, and then stepped out of his embrace. After maintaining a certain distance, she continued, "Since you've agreed, then go back to your fiefdom."
The warmth in his arms vanished, and Gu Nanxiao immediately felt as if his heart had been hollowed out. The fear that had been suppressed in his heart for so long made him immediately reach out and grab Yunxi's wrist, but when Yunxi looked at him sharply, he pulled on her sleeve instead.
He really wanted Yunxi to go back to his fiefdom with him, but he felt that she might not agree while she was still angry, so he changed his mind before he could finish speaking:
"The entire Shi family is currently on their way to exile. I have changed their place of exile to my fiefdom. Would you like to come with me to see their miserable state?"
Yunxi knew exactly what this scoundrel was up to. But she really wanted to see Shi Qingchen reduced to a prisoner, barely clinging to life.
If he's satisfied with his fate, then executing him wouldn't be a problem. Besides, he was the chief minister back then, the very person responsible for burning him to death.
Yunxi has never forgotten the sizzling sensation of her skin being burned as flames engulfed her entire body. How could she be at peace until she witnessed that old man's retribution?
Seeing that Yunxi was about to be persuaded by Gu Nanxiao, Qi Jinxiu immediately came over and said, "Yunxi, His Majesty has just sent me to hand over the important military and political affairs in the Northwest to Prince Xian."
So why don't you travel with me on this journey? That way, you can look after each other and also witness the tragic state of Shi's family.
"no!"
