Yi Yi had completely given up hope. Although she had left some items as markers on her way here, Mu Nanxun still hadn't arrived. Perhaps, he wouldn't come.
Even if we get there now, it's probably too late.
She escaped the burning at the stake in the jungle, but she couldn't escape the same fate in the human world.
She had already closed her eyes, ready to face death calmly. But then she saw Lao Wu quickly grab Ah Yu, hug him, and kiss him.
Dry wood and raging fire, seemingly ready to ignite at any moment.
Ayu suddenly pushed Lao Wu away, his eyes filled with an indescribable coldness. "You don't want to at all, yet you're just going through the motions for this woman. Don't forget, everything you have today is thanks to me. Since I can give you everything, I can also take it all back from you. And I can assure you, you'll be in even worse shape than before."
"Ayu, I only ask this one thing of you: spare her life. From now on, I will do whatever you ask of me without hesitation."
"Spare her life?" A-Yu looked at Yi-Yi and sneered, "I'm sparing her life so you can stab me in the heart again, is that it?"
Without hesitation, he threw the lighter into the gasoline can.
With a loud "boom," flames taller than a person shot up in front of Yi Yi, quickly igniting the flammable materials around her and forming a wall of fire.
Yi Yi's eyes were blinded by the sudden flames. Her feet were shackled, and her hands were tied to a chair behind her, rendering her unable to move. Even if she could move freely, she would have no way to escape from the raging fire.
"Cough cough... cough cough cough..."
The thick smoke filled her lungs, making it impossible for her to open her eyes, and she coughed uncontrollably. The more she coughed, the more smoke she inhaled.
Through the billowing smoke, she could see Lao Wu struggling to rush towards her, trying to rescue her from the fire. But before he could get close, A Yu punched him unconscious and dragged him away.
She even saw Mu Nanxun, and Xiao Fang... and saw them rushing towards this direction.
Was it a dream? Or did he really come?
From afar, she saw Mu Nanxun rushing towards her without regard for his own safety. She wanted to shout, to yell at him to leave quickly and not come any closer. Otherwise, he would die too! But as soon as she opened her mouth, thick smoke kept billowing in, choking her so badly that she couldn't utter a single word.
Fortunately, Xiao Fang hugged him tightly from behind, preventing him from coming to his death.
Fire, a raging inferno, almost turning the entire sky red. She gradually lost her strength; she couldn't even open her eyes anymore.
...
The fire was extinguished several hours later.
Mu Nanxun's initial hope gradually turned into despair. His tense body finally relaxed a little, only to tense up again immediately.
Xiao Fang held on desperately, refusing to let go no matter how much he struggled. He could only watch helplessly as the raging fire burned until it was finally extinguished by the arriving crew.
"Quick, go inside and find Yi Yi."
His voice was almost hoarse, and he had no strength left in his body.
The men in black went inside and searched the huge house meticulously. Although they knew that such a large fire, burning for so long, meant there was absolutely no hope of survival, they still searched carefully, leaving no inch unchecked.
