Jin Zhongyun's words made Mingyue shiver once more, a fleeting look of sorrow crossing her face.
Who can be heartless?
Mingyue was human; no matter how indifferent her exterior appeared, she was just an ordinary woman with a passionate heart.
Traversing mountains and rivers, traveling thousands of miles, the reason Jin Zhongyun did not stay in Korea but came to this foreign land was something Mingyue understood without needing to be told.
Yet, faced with Jin Zhongyun's heart, which burned even hotter than her own, she found herself at a loss for how to respond.
However, after such a long time, if there was not even a trace of emotion for Jin Zhongyun in her heart, it would be impossible—she herself did not believe it.
Thus, when she heard Jin Zhongyun speak those words, it was inevitable that her heart stirred.
But after a moment's hesitation, she stepped forward again, walking directly toward Jin Zhongyun.
Jin Zhongyun stood still, a smile on his face, his gaze calm yet sorrowful as he looked at her. He gently said, "Go ahead."
Biting her lip lightly, Mingyue nodded slightly and calmly uttered a few words: "After avenging him, I will take my own life. This is what I owe you and him."
Her voice was soft but filled with unwavering determination.
Jin Zhongyun frowned slightly but couldn't help shaking his head. "No, I want you to live. Live well. Perhaps only by living can you obtain what you desire."
Mingyue did not respond; instead, one hand decisively reached out and gripped Jin Zhongyun's neck. Her fingers tightened gradually until his face turned red and he struggled to breathe.
Unloading Gate was known as the mighty force among men, possessing immense strength.
Although Jin Zhongyun was quite skilled, he still fell short compared to Mingyue.
Moreover, at this moment, he had chosen death for himself, so unless something unexpected happened, his life would soon end at Mingyue's hands.
Slowly, he closed his eyes and clenched his teeth, yet he did not let out a single sound of pain.
In front of the woman he loved, even in death, he wanted to die with strength.
Undeniably, Jin Zhongyun had truly devoted himself to Mingyue, filled with infatuation.
It was also undeniable that this Korean man was indeed a real man, one who dared to take responsibility for his actions.
But he had truly killed Lin Hao.
Or perhaps unable to bear watching Jin Zhongyun being choked to death by her own hands, Mingyue also gently closed her eyes at that moment.
Yet the grip on his throat did not lessen in the slightest; instead, it continued to tighten gradually.
However, just then, a somewhat anxious shout broke through the night.
“Mingyue, what are you doing?”
The voice was extremely familiar, and Mingyue couldn't help but open her eyes. In the darkness, a figure quickly approached, and to her surprise, it was Mao Guoxue.
Yet Mingyue did not loosen her grip. With reddened eyes, she said, "He killed Lin Hao. I want to avenge Lin Hao."
"He killed Lin Hao?"
Mao Guoxue was momentarily stunned, then hurriedly replied, "Who said he killed Lin Hao? Lin Hao is not dead at all."
"What do you mean?" Mao Guoxue's words left Mingyue in shock, causing her to tremble violently. She stared blankly at Mao Guoxue not far away.
"Lin Hao is not dead; he just fainted. I've already sent someone to bring him back to Upper Clear Academy," Mao Guoxue repeated his earlier statement.
"He’s not dead."
This time, Mingyue clearly heard Mao Guoxue's words and couldn't help but murmur softly to herself, as if still unable to believe it.
But Mao Guoxue didn't care about that. He stepped forward decisively and pried Mingyue's jade-like hand off Jin Zhongyun's neck, saying, "Yes, he’s not dead."
Mingyue released her grip, seemingly still in disbelief.
At that moment, Jin Zhongyun began to cough violently. He had been on the verge of suffocation just moments ago, his face flushed. If it had been any longer, he might not have survived.
After a while, once Mingyue regained her senses, she stared blankly at Jin Zhongyun standing in front of her and asked in confusion, "Why? Why did you lie to me?"
"Are you trying to deceive me?"
After coughing for a while, Jin Zhongyun was still somewhat breathless, but he felt much better now. He looked at Mingyue and couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly, "What if I deceive you? Since you don't love me, do I not even have the right to choose to die by your hands?"
Mingyue was speechless; Jin Zhongyun's words left her at a loss for words.
Mao Guoxue, although unaware of the relationship between Jin Zhongyun and Mingyue, had a dark expression on his face. He fixed his cold gaze on Jin Zhongyun and said, "I don't know what grievances you have with that Lin Hao kid, but the reason he is unconscious is because of you. Although you survived, this should be considered your punishment."
"What do you mean?" Mingyue looked up at Mao Guoxue again.
Mao Guoxue snorted coldly, glanced at Jin Zhongyun, and offered no explanation.
Jin Zhongyun smiled lightly and said, "I did indeed want his life, but unfortunately, I hesitated for a moment. After knocking him out with a rock, I just tossed him into the nearby woods. I didn't expect to run into you all right after turning back. There's nothing more to say; that's how it went."
After speaking, he wore a self-mocking smile as he looked at Mingyue.
Mingyue bit her lip and remained silent. It seemed she took a deep breath to calm her emotions before turning her gaze to Mao Guoxue and saying, "Take me to see him."
Mao Guoxue nodded slightly and glanced at Xiao Juan, who was still unconscious on the ground. "Since she hasn't woken up yet, it's best to keep Lin Hao's survival a secret from her for a few days. I checked; there seems to be a Gu Worm inside him. I need to extract that Gu Worm first; only then can we break Grandma Jiang's enchantment on him."
Upon hearing this, Mingyue silently nodded.
She had already suspected that she had been cursed by Grandma Jiang, so she naturally had no objections to Mao Guoxue's statement at this moment.
In fact, if it weren't for her prior arrangement with Mao Shiba and Mu Yan, she would have come to disrupt things herself; there was no way she could just stand by and watch me marry Xiao Juan.
However, they had overlooked one detail. They initially thought that after being enraged, Mu Yan would be able to harness her bloodline power to block Grandma Jiang once she ascended to the Ghost King level.
They believed this would give them enough time to take Lin Hao away, but what they never expected was that Grandma Jiang possessed the Tianyan Huigui Hunting Diagram, which effectively trapped Mu Yan.
Even more unexpectedly, just as they rushed out, I had already vanished without a trace.
But as long as I was alive, nothing else mattered.
So once she realized this, Mingyue anxiously grabbed Mao Guoxue and prepared to leave together.
However, after taking just two steps forward, she suddenly stopped, crouching down with a hint of hesitation on her face.
"What’s wrong?" Mao Guoxue asked, slightly puzzled.
"Mu Yan is still trapped by Grandma Jiang; it seems she's in danger." After a brief pause, Mingyue said calmly.
