Su Yu was caught off guard by Yu Qianqian's extreme actions. The extremely rare outburst of anger she had displayed just moments before had vanished without a trace as the woman in front of her pressed closer.
He stumbled back in a daze, then immediately cried out to her, "Ah Jin! Calm down! Don't do anything foolish!"
Gripping the sword tightly in her other hand, the blinding cold light slowly approached her neck and throat. Yu Qianqian turned her head towards him, and her almost sobbing voice, mixed with trembling, slowly escaped her lips: "I can not be with him, but I can't bear to watch him die suddenly from his illness. I just want him to live a good life!"
"You...you should put the sword down first, okay?" Su Yu quickly added, trying to persuade her, "We can discuss the rest later..."
Before she could finish speaking, Su Yu met her distraught expression and felt a wave of panic wash over her. Before the words had even faded from her ears, Yu Qianqian's sword had already slashed her neck, leaving a long, bloody gash. Bright red blood flowed continuously from the wound, silently soaking through the red fabric of her dress.
Before the words were even spoken, the view in front of him had already blurred like a fog.
Yu Qianqian's gaze sharpened, her eyes fixed on Su Yu with a cold, icy edge: "Your Highness knows that I have never been a kind person. To this day, I have killed countless evil spirits and wronged souls. Do you really think that I simply want to use death to scare you into letting go?"
At this very moment, Su Yu felt that her cold face was almost completely different from the Yu Qianqian before. She was indeed sick with grief and anger because of Mu Beichen, just as he was now desperately trying to possess her at all costs.
He stood there for a long time, staring at her in a daze, remaining silent for a long while after he finished speaking, seemingly hesitating whether or not to agree to her request.
"If Your Highness utters another word against my return to the Northern You Kingdom today, this sword will pierce my throat immediately!"
Unexpectedly, Yu Qianqian swung her sword at her own neck again, leaving a deeper wound than before. Now, she only needed to use a fraction of her strength to sever the sword from her throat.
"Okay...okay!" Su Yu was shocked and took several steps back. In his panic, he stumbled and fell to the ground. Without thinking, he immediately replied, "Ah Jin, as long as you put down the sword, I will agree to whatever you want!"
Before she could finish speaking, a snapping sound rang out, and the sword in Yu Qianqian's hand fell to the ground. Her eyes lit up, a smile appeared on her lips, and she hurried towards the door without delay.
Before long, the figure floating under the colorful light disappeared from Su Yu's sight.
Staring intently at her rapidly departing figure, his vision blurred, Su Yu's words were choked back. At this moment, an unprecedented helplessness and despair surged from the depths of his heart, frantically devouring his thoughts and piercing his wavering soul. In that instant, his wretched state was unbearable to behold.
I've worked so hard for so long, but now I can only watch helplessly as she leaves me forever. I feel so unwilling to accept it!
Thinking of this, he suddenly frowned, his bloodshot eyes reflecting a vast, empty space. In that distant view, Yu Qianqian's figure was no longer visible. A sharp pain shot through his chest, and blood gushed out, splattering onto the ground. He fell backward onto the ground.
Su Yu was so distressed by Yu Qianqian's departure that she fell into a deep coma and became frail and sickly, her life hanging in the balance.
