Chapter 1813 “Admiration (1)”
Falling into the pipsqueak’s arm, Butterfly’s bleeding blood quickly stained the child’s snowy white dress as well once they’re on the ground together.
“Auntie Butterfly…” Without hesitation, Di Ling Yan promptly pulled out a dagger from her waist and placed the blade against her wrist and cut it.
Blood trickled down her tender little hand, allowing the drops of red fluid to fall onto the female elder’s open chest wound.
As hard as it was to keep her eyes open, Butterfly did manage to take in a glimpse of the situation – she saw the kid cutting herself for some unknown reason. However, the woman quickly understood why once the warm current flowed into her chest following the powerful lifeforce entering her soul.
“Auntie Butterfly, don’t sleep, Ling Yan will save you, you must not sleep.” Red in the eye, the underlying tears refused to come out of the corner of the eye due to that stubbornness.
Gu Lao felt a huge punch to his own guts when seeing that despised child going this far. He never expected a villainous character to use their own blood to save another, as such, his original attack of slashing down at the pipsqueak stalled in midair and held it there.
For the second time in this fight, the old bastard fell into a loss. He’s swaying in his decision to continue this for he knows how cruel and vile his own actions are right now.
However……
Like the previous relapse, his mind soon imagined the helpless and poor image of Gu Ya pleading to him to like some sort of whisper, telling him to do it, just do it and everything would be finished. Whatever guilt or sanity he had got swept away in that instant, transforming into a ruthless and murderous gaze that locked onto the child once more. He’s truly fallen.
No matter what this little girl does, she’s the one who broke Milady’s heart, she must die!
Acting like she couldn’t see the person already behind herself with that weapon, Di Ling Yan continues to let her blood run down onto Butterfly’s wound. At the rate she’s going, that visible wound would soon recover.
This scene caused Gu Lao to squint in his eyes due to the surprise of her blood’s ability. Despite this, the surprise only lasted for a second before his lips evoked into a sneer.
“Miss Ling Yan, don’t move, I’ll let you die in the least painful way. But if you resist, I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold my hand properly and might slip.”
The pipsqueak did not respond.
She’s invested all her heart into saving the severely injured Butterfly. Whatever the old bastard wants to do was of no importance to herself.
Seeing Ling Yan did not speak, Gu Lao figured any talks were over. Snorting coldly, he promptly stabs down with his longsword at the child’s body.
But……
His sword had not yet fallen when a burst of flame suddenly gushed forward from that tiny figure.
The flame acted like a barrier, protecting the little girl’s body from all outside attacks.
“This…” Gu Lao became stunned, his eyes deep with shock: “What is going on here?”
Suddenly, he recalled back to the moment where the girl bit his arm. The temperature was already mad hot to the point where even he had to flinch due to the heat.
This little girl, what’s her origin?
The more he thought about it the more unsettled he became. Growing firmer than ever without any hint of hesitation from the hearts down, the old bastard knew he must do this without fail. Otherwise, a great disaster would befall Gu Ya afterwards.
Understanding this, he wields his sword and draws an arc in the air, creating a violent current with the momentum and slashed down with fury. This strike carried his all. In this lifetime, he’s never exhausted so much power in one slash so he’s confident it would work.
Sure enough, the flaming barrier could not withstand the blow. Di Ling Yan shot out like a bullet and fell several meters away from the impact, leaving the child ragged like a broken doll. She’s simply laying there helplessly on the dirt without movement….
