"In this case, I have no reservations anymore."
"Thank you so much for voluntarily setting her free."
Xiao Zheng, holding the still unconscious Su Zimo in his arms, looked at Lu Jingchan, who was desperately fleeing for his life, and laughed.
As if hearing his words, Lu Jingchan stumbled and fell down flat on his face. He sat on the ground, with an incredulous expression, and stamred, "You, you just lied to !"
"How dare you deceive !"
The more Lu Jingchan spoke, the angrier he beca, feeling the impulsion to give himself a hard slap.
He now understood that Su Zimo was indeed his best protective charm, yet he fell into Xiao Zheng’s trap, willingly abandoning his charm and plunging himself into a hopeless predicant.
Watching Xiao Zheng approaching him step by step, Lu Jingchan felt the threat of death for the first ti in his life.
"No! I don’t want to die!"
"Please don’t kill , I promise. I will never trouble you or the Su Family again!"
"I can even teach you the ’Demon Fetus Gathering Cauldron Technique.’ It’s an unparalleled Demon Technique. With your aptitude, if you cultivate it, you will surely reach the peak of Martial Arts!"
"How about it? As long as you agree to spare , I can give you everything I own!"
Lu Jingchan had completely abandoned resistance, throwing away even the basic dignity.
He begged him bitterly; if his body weren’t utterly powerless, he might’ve knelt before Xiao Zheng, imploring rcy.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "You should give up hope, I won’t let you go. When cutting weeds, you must eradicate the roots. Don’t tell you’ve never heard of this saying."
"As for your Demon Technique, I’m not interested; better keep it as your burying companion."
After speaking, Xiao Zheng didn’t hesitate further and thrust a spear through Lu Jingchan’s body.
This arrogant Lu Family Ancestor ultimately perished along with the entire Lu Family at Xiunv Peak.
Having killed Lu Jingchan, Xiao Zheng remained expressionless, as if he’d done sothing insignificant. Truth be told, if it weren’t for Su Zimo, he wouldn’t have bothered dealing with the likes of the Lu Family Ancestor.
Letting the Gang Qi-crafted spear dissolve on its own, Xiao Zheng then awoke Su Zimo, who was slumbering in his embrace.
Su Zimo slowly regained consciousness, imdiately letting out a terrified scream.
Xiao Zheng almost had his ears deafened by her scream and hurriedly said, "Don’t scream, it’s ."
Only after hearing his voice, Su Zimo’s consciousness finally cleared. Then, her tears began to flow uncontrollably, looking particularly delicate and touching: "Wah-wah-wah! Brother Xiao! You finally ca to save , didn’t you?"
Seeing her crying so heartbreakingly, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but sigh.
No way, the thing he’s most afraid of in this life is seeing won cry.
Holding her tightly, Xiao Zheng comforted her by saying, "Yes, I ca to save you. Everything is alright now, and you don’t need to be scared anymore because everyone in the Lu Family is dead."
Upon hearing the first part of his sentence, Su Zimo continued to cry sorrowfully.
But after listening to Xiao Zheng’s entire speech, she lifted her tearful eyes in disbelief and asked, "Brother Xiao, are you serious? Did you really kill everyone in the Lu Family?"
"Exactly, the corpse of the Lu Family Ancestor is lying under that tree," Xiao Zheng replied.
Su Zimo then looked in the direction he indicated, indeed seeing a corpse lying beneath a big tree nearby. The corpse’s chest had a terribly gaping wound.
It was the first ti she saw a dead body, which instantly frightened her to a pallid complexion.
Though scared, Su Zimo felt imnsely happy inside; with the Lu Family Ancestor’s death, the dark cloud looming above her finally dispersed. For the first ti, she felt that living was such a joy.
Su Zimo stopped her tears, then looked up at Xiao Zheng, suddenly blushing, and said, "Brother Xiao, you’re really kind to , thank you for rescuing . I... I love you!"
Boldly, she even lightly pecked Xiao Zheng’s cheek.
Xiao Zheng was stunned, realizing he felt a bit bemused.
Could this lass have been scared silly?
First crying, then laughing, and even confessing her feelings?
Feeling the lingering warmth on his cheek, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but chuckle wickedly and said, "Miss Su, rember when we first t, I told you not to take advantage of ?"
"Here in this desolate place, with only a corpse and us two living souls, aren’t you afraid I might..."
He pretended to look fierce, his gaze playfully wandering over Su Zimo’s graceful figure.
Despite her blushing, Su Zimo shook her head and replied, "I’m not afraid, because Brother Xiao, you’re a good man."
Hearing her words, Xiao Zheng imdiately broke character.
Even he had to admit that this girl was really adorable.
Xiao Zheng sighed, then patted her butt and said, "I admit defeat, stop leaning on , get up quickly. If you don’t get up soon, I might really not resist doing sothing outrageous to you."
"Yet you just patted my butt!" Su Zimo’s lips slightly parted, pondering but ultimately refraining from speaking this thought aloud.
After getting up, she was startled by the scene around her.
At the mid-slope of Xiunv Peak, many dried corpses were scattered.
Xiao Zheng noticed her pale face and said, "These were all Lu Family mbers, used by the Lu Family Ancestor as cauldrons, their blood essence drained."
"If I hadn’t co here to rescue you, your fate would undoubtedly be the sa as theirs."
Hearing this, Su Zimo’s face darkened again.
But soon, the gloom on her face vanished, replaced by a vibrant zest of newfound life: "Brother Xiao, regardless, I still have to thank you!"
"You gave hope, you gave the courage to live!"
"Life is very short. I don’t know if I will ever et another man like you, willing to risk everything to protect . That’s why I won’t take back what I said just now."
"Brother Xiao, I like you."
Hearing the girl’s emotional confession, Xiao Zheng suddenly sighed and said, "But I already have a wife."
"That doesn’t matter, it won’t stop from loving you!" Su Zimo, eyes shining with determination, laughed and said, "I don’t wish for any official status, I simply want to be with you all my life!"
Faced with such earnestness, Xiao Zheng found himself at a loss for words and ruffled her hair before saying, "Let’s go, I’ll take you ho."
Su Zimo nodded, her face blooming a sweet, floral-like smile.
