"I've also thought that maybe in your eyes, I'm just a colleague you don't care about, or perhaps just a dispensable passerby in your life."
"But no matter how you treat me, I only know the truth I firmly believe in—to do my best to protect my loved ones and to take care of my friends! Regardless of whether the final outcome is good or bad, I will do my utmost and give it my all!"
Mo Chen swallowed hard. He already knew what Mo Li was going to say next, but he really couldn't believe it, and he never thought that Mo Li would actually—
"Mo Chen, please be my companion and protect the Nine Springs Realm with me!" Mo Li extended her right hand towards Mo Chen.
Mo Chen looked at his right hand in front of him, then at Mo Li's smiling face, and a warm feeling rose in his heart—
If I agree to his request, I can survive!
Looking at Mo Li's pale face, Mo Chen raised his right hand and slowly reached towards Mo Li's hand.
Seeing Mo Chen's actions, Mo Li was immediately delighted, but just as their hands were about to clasp together...
Snap—
Mo Li felt a sharp pain in his right hand; he hadn't expected Mo Chen to actually open his hand!
Mo Li looked up at Mo Chen in surprise. "Mo Chen, what are you doing?"
All eyes turned to Mo Chen, who never expected him to reject Mo Li!
Mo Chen coldly raised his head and looked at Mo Li, saying, "Do you think you can sway me with a few nice words?"
Mo Li stared blankly at Mo Chen, his eyes filled with a coldness he had never seen before!
"Gu Liyan, Mo Li, don't be silly! The thing I hate and despise most in this life is being a companion! You want me to be your companion? Heh..."
Mo Li trembled. Mo Chen actually... actually rejected her?!
Mo Chen turned to the ten men, narrowed his eyes, and coldly said, "What are you waiting for? Take action while I'm not resisting?"
"Mo Li, we are about to activate the formation, please step aside!"
Mo Li's hand trembled slightly from the pain of Mo Chen's blow. Looking into Mo Chen's cold eyes, Mo Li sighed and turned to leave.
Mo Chen watched Mo Li's retreating figure and sighed softly, "Mo Li, I'm sorry, I can't accept your gift. I've already failed Mo Hua, and I don't want to hurt you anymore... Just let me be free!"
The two went their separate ways...
One is born!
One is heading towards death!
As Mo Li stepped back, the ten people exchanged glances and simultaneously raised their hands to form a hand seal, chanting:
"God-Slaying Formation—Activate!"
Rumble—
The sky was instantly shrouded in thunderclouds, and Mo Chen closed his eyes as he looked at the dark, heavy thunderclouds.
The moment has finally arrived, but why...?
Snap—
Tears fell to the ground, a testament to their unwillingness to accept defeat!
Click—
Suddenly, purple lightning descended from the sky towards Mo Chen—
boom--
"No way—"
Suddenly, the ten people shouted. Mo Chen opened his eyes in confusion and saw a white figure blocking his way. The purple lightning that fell from the sky struck him mercilessly!
"Pfft—" A mouthful of blood mist sprayed out.
Suddenly, Mo Li's back was struck by lightning and became a bloody mess, his white clothes instantly soaked with blood!
Mo Chen stared blankly at Mo Li, who was covered in blood. Seeing the white figure slowly collapse to the ground, he immediately reacted and rushed forward to support Mo Li as she fell.
"Mo Li! You, you bastard..."
"Cough..." Before Mo Chen could continue, Mo Li coughed up a mouthful of blood. Looking listlessly at Mo Chen, whose face was streaked with tears, she couldn't help but laugh mockingly, "Heh, see, you don't want to die at all! What's with all the showing off..."
Mo Chen trembled uncontrollably, and roared angrily at Mo Li's bloodless face, "Mo Li, you arrogant bastard, do you think I'll agree to be your companion just because you've done this to me? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Rumble—
The thunderclouds in the sky gathered again, radiating a menacing power. Mo Li looked at the dark thunderclouds and smiled bitterly, "Is that so... It's alright, I can still take a few more bolts of lightning for you..."
As she spoke, she suddenly stood up and pushed Mo Chen to the ground.
Mo Chen was startled, then saw a flash of lightning before his eyes, followed by a burning sensation on his face and body, and a strong smell of blood.
As the lightning subsided, Mo Li, her face covered in blood, chuckled and looked at Mo Chen, saying, "As Gu Liyan, I'm telling you... I, Gu Liyan... would never allow my friend to die before my eyes..."
Mo Chen's eyes glistened with tears. "Mo Li! Please don't do this, please, don't do this, I really, I really can't pay it back!"
Mo Li smiled slightly, "Mo Chen...become my companion..."
Mo Chen trembled. Mo Li had shielded him time and time again for this very reason.
Rumble—
Thunder rumbled in the sky again, and Mo Li suddenly burst into laughter, pinning Mo Chen down on her body.
Mo Chen hurriedly shouted, "Stop, Mo Li! You'll die! You'll die!"
Mo Li smiled slightly, "Death? If you're not afraid, why would I be?"
Looking at the thunderclouds in the sky, Mo Chen hurriedly shouted, "Mo Li, don't do anything rash! I want to live, I really want to live! Please get out of the way, you're really going to die!"
"Haha, then hurry up and sign a contract with me to become my companion, otherwise I will definitely not let you die before me!" Mo Li laughed loudly.
"Okay, okay, I promise you, but please don't laugh with that bloody face, it scared me to death!" Mo Chen said, sweating profusely.
Upon hearing Mo Chen's words, Mo Li immediately flipped her hand seal, and a crimson mark appeared in her hand, which she pressed directly onto Mo Chen's brow.
