When Wu Yinuo heard that Wu Qing was threatening Chen Moxuan with his life, she felt an overwhelming urge to rush out and kill Wu Qing. However, she knew that her presence would only complicate matters for Chen Moxuan even further. Thus, she restrained herself from intervening. Now, upon hearing Chen Moxuan about to agree to Wu Qing's terms, she could no longer hold back her voice.
She spoke with a determination that suggested she was ready to face death. Prior to this moment, her heart had been a whirlwind of anxiety, confusion, and fear. But now, only one conviction remained in her mind: she could not allow Wu Qing to use her as leverage against Chen Moxuan!
Wu Qing erupted into maniacal laughter. "I noticed you the moment you arrived here. The reason I didn't reveal it was simply to see what choice Chen Moxuan would make—whether he would care about your life. Of course, I didn't expect that before he made a choice, you would jump out yourself. Do you think you can just die because you want to? Once you become the Heartless Valley Master, your life and death are no longer in your control!"
With that, Wu Qing formed a hand seal. Immediately, a mark resembling a snow peak appeared on Wu Yinuo's forehead, and she couldn't help but tremble all over as a wave of excruciating pain surged through her mind. She instinctively cradled her head in her hands.
"This is the punishment for speaking out of turn!" Wu Qing declared. "Chen Moxuan, state your decision!"
Chen Moxuan was taken aback by Wu Yinuo's presence on the battlefield. After a moment of thought, he realized that she must have come out of concern for his safety. Hearing Wu Yinuo declare that she would rather die than allow Wu Qing to use her as leverage filled him with deep emotion. Despite the turmoil within him, he maintained an outward calmness. He understood that showing too much concern for Wu Yinuo would only play into Wu Qing's schemes.
"I agree to your two conditions," he said firmly, "but they are limited to just those two conditions. You can release Wu Yinuo now!"
"Empty words mean nothing," Wu Qing replied dismissively. "What if I release Wu Yinuo and you go back on your word? You must swear a Heavenly Oath before I can trust you."
Though his demeanor was frenzied, Wu Qing still retained his rationality.
"Fine! I will swear a Heavenly Oath!" Chen Moxuan declared.
For any powerful individual, the Heavenly Oath is a serious commitment. Only those who do not wish to ascend to immortality or improve their strength would disregard it. The Heavenly Oath is not something taken lightly; it must be made sincerely before heaven itself, and violating it brings divine punishment.
For someone like Chen Moxuan, the Heavenly Oath held significant weight; hence why Wu Qing had made such a demand.
I, Chen Moxuan, swear to the heavens—no!
Before Chen Moxuan could finish his words, a sorrowful voice interrupted him. It was Wu Yinuo, who was struggling to endure the excruciating pain surging through her mind. She would not allow Chen Moxuan to make a Heavenly Oath on her behalf.
Chen Moxuan was taken aback by her tragic tone, and his gaze instinctively turned toward her. There he saw the unwavering determination in Wu Yinuo's eyes. A sense of foreboding rose within him, and he immediately flew toward her direction, but it was already too late!
In truth, when Wu Yinuo made her way to the battlefield, she had already prepared herself for sacrifice. After Cui Po Po and Wu Shanshan had left, the only person she truly cared about was Chen Moxuan. Although their time together had been brief, Chen Moxuan had unknowingly left a profound mark on her heart—one that she could never forget.
Life is like this; many people pass through your existence, some leaving no impression at all. Others may only stay for a moment but leave indelible traces in your heart! Fate is so elusive and yet so cruel!
Wu Yinuo managed to force a smile at Chen Moxuan, despite the awkwardness of it. This smile was the best she could muster under such intense pain. She wanted to leave behind a beautiful memory in Chen Moxuan's heart before she departed from this world.
An invisible flame ignited within her! Though intangible, it burned with fierce intensity.
No!
This time, it was Chen Moxuan who cried out those words. Upon seeing the flames engulfing Wu Yinuo, he finally understood—she intended to take her own life. She truly meant what she said. Even in death, she would not allow Wu Qing to use her as leverage against Chen Moxuan!
Chen Moxuan recognized the flames surrounding her; they were Xin Huo! A fire that could only ignite using one’s own spiritual power and life force as fuel. The emergence of this flame signified that her life was now on a countdown.
There was no way to stop it! Wu Yinuo clearly anticipated that Wu Qing might have left some other means of control over her to prevent her from committing suicide.
So she chose this irreversible way of suicide.
She was truly willing to sacrifice her life for Chen Moxuan!
Chen Moxuan felt a sharp pain rise from his heart. It was the sorrow of the heart!
In just a few seconds, he flew to Wu Yinuo's side. He held her tightly in his arms.
"Why are you being so foolish? Why would you choose to end your life? Even if you let go of your feelings, it doesn’t matter; there will always be a chance to take revenge on him later!"
"You have only one life, and it is far more important to me than his! Don’t you understand?"
At that moment, Chen Moxuan could no longer contain his emotions.
He had thought that Wu Yinuo held only a small place in his heart. Now, seeing her on the brink of death, he realized that she had occupied a significant part of his heart!
Love arises unexpectedly and runs deep!
People often only think of cherishing what they have when it is about to be lost.
By then, it is often too late!
Wu Yinuo heard Chen Moxuan's words and once again smiled faintly.
With trembling lips, she said, "I won’t let anyone use me to threaten you! I don’t regret knowing you! I’m happy to have met you!"
Her voice was soft; if not for Chen Moxuan holding her close, he might not have heard her clearly.
Each of those three sentences sank deeply into Chen Moxuan’s heart.
"Don’t die!"
Fate does not bend to human will!
As Wu Yinuo burned her own Xin Huo with the strength of her spirit and life, it was already destined that she would die!
After saying those three sentences, she closed her eyes.
Yes, she closed her eyes forever!
