Chapter 350: Chapter 451 Don’t Leave
Behind_1
The chill of the night made He Suxue’s heart as cold as the icy darkness. She had been besieged on Zhuyu Mountain for three days and nights, tornted not just by the fear of the unknown ahead, but even more so by the fear right before her eyes.
She thought that staying by Yu Ze’s side would give her a sense of security, but the truth was that this cold-hearted man had long ago let go of his obsessions. To him, she ant nothing now, ready to be abandoned at any ti. No, he had never even thought about saving her.
Previously, when she was sent off in marriage to the borderlands, it was like living in widowhood. Her so-called husband couldn’t find the ti to return to their bridal room even on their wedding night. She thought she’d have to live her life this way, but then she heard Yu Ze had co to the frontier, and she was so excited she couldn’t sleep for days. She believed he still cared about her; otherwise, why would he rush over? He would surely co to see her. This thought sustained her, day after day. But the result was one disappointnt after another, and her true despair ca six days ago.
The soldiers of the Daqian Dynasty had won a major victory under his leadership. From officers to civilians at the border, everyone celebrated together. Yet the Qilian Kingdom sent people to secretly abduct her. They sent a letter to Yu Ze that very day, threatening that if he didn’t personally co to their camp by nightfall, they would toss her into the military prostitute camp. Full of expectation, she waited for him to co and cry into his embrace, telling him of her grievances, but there was no response at all.
Consequently, that night she was thrown into the Military Prostitute Camp, suffering unbearable torture for three whole days. The first ti a sleazy man forced himself on her, the tearing pain made it clear that her virginity was still intact; Qiao Muniang had deceived her! Hatred almost devoured her heart. The more pain and humiliation she suffered in her body, the more she hated Qiao Muniang.
So, when three days later, a dignified man stood before her and offered her a chance to escape, with the only requirent being that she must seize the opportunity to cling to Yu Ze, claiming they would help spread rumors linking her and Yu Ze as a perfect couple, making everyone know she was Yu Ze’s woman, how could she refuse the difference between heaven and hell? She imdiately nodded her agreent.
Yu Ze did co, but not for her. The letter he received stated that if he didn’t co that night, Yu Jin would be thrown into the Army Prostitute Camp to be an army prostitute, gang-raped by n, and die in disgrace. Thus, he ca, alone and determined, charging into enemy territory, carving a bloody path. Nangong Qian, cunning as a fox, naturally would not let Yu Ze save the hostage. Early on, Yu Jin was replaced with a double. When Yu Ze broke through the encirclent, He Suxue was thrown to him at just the right mont.
For three whole days, they had been trapped on the barren mountain. Yu Ze had been shot with a poisoned arrow, preventing him from using his Inner Strength. If the poison wasn’t neutralized within ten days, death was imminent.
Yu Ze had never intended to save He Suxue. Her presence with him in these mountains was actually part of Nangong Qian’s sche, luring her to follow his footsteps. Yu Ze wouldn’t be so foolish as not to see through this; he knew He Suxue must have sunk to collusion with Nangong Qian, and thus he looked down on her even more, ignoring her completely for the past three days.
Yu Ze sat under a tree, his face frighteningly pale yet supported by a tenacious will that kept his nerves taut. He knew he couldn’t fall; once he did, there would be no chance of survival. But after being trapped in the mountain forest for three days, he understood that if the poison in him wasn’t cured in ten days, it would be a death sentence. He had to break out now.
With this in mind, Yu Ze pursed his lips, propped himself up, and stood. Using Inner Strength would accelerate the spread of the poison, but if he could exert a strong burst of Inner Strength within half an hour, break out quickly, and find the antidote, there might still be a glimr of hope. He had been conserving his strength these three days. Now, it was ti.
He Suxue always refrained from getting too close to Yu Ze, but she dare not stray too far either, her eyes constantly fixated on his every move, fearing that he would leave her behind. The mont she saw him stand up suddenly, she imdiately rushed after him.
“Yu, you can’t abandon ,” she exclaid. “Have you forgotten Yu Jin’s instructions? The living hell I endured in the army camp of Qilian Kingdom? It was all Qiao Muniang’s doing that led
to this state. Don’t you truly wish to leave with ? Can you really bear to let
suffer in such a place? Does your conscience allow for it? Are you living up to the sacrifice Yu Jin made when he went to Qilian Kingdom as a hostage in your place?”
He Suxue was practically screaming, having endured so much pain and humiliation. Why were his eyes still so cold and indifferent? The torture from that horde of soldiers was excruciating, and she wished she could kill herself!
Yu Ze gave her a cold glance, “Do you think I can’t see that it was Nangong Qian who deliberately let you follow
into this besieged forest?”
He Suxue’s face turned pale and her lips trembled several tis, “You… you knew?”
“He Suxue, any remaining affection I had for you has been completely exhausted by your own actions. You’re not deserving of Yu Jin’s love; you’ve changed completely. If he saw what you’ve beco now, he probably would not retain the slightest interest. Do you realize how ugly you’ve beco?”
He Suxue’s eyes imdiately reddened, but she said through gritted teeth, “Who caused
to beco like this? If it weren’t for Qiao Muniang, if it weren’t for her, how would I be in such an embarrassing state, how would I look the way I do now?”
Yu Ze’s eyes emitted a cold light, “You are not worthy of ntioning her, my wife. Even if it weren’t her, it would never be you. After all this, you still use your dark thoughts to hate everyone else. You want
to save you? Dream on!”
He Suxue’s face completely fell, and she laughed hysterically, “Dark? So that’s what you truly think of . I see how it is. Why don’t you speak of how dark and shaless Qiao Muniang is?! She tricked , and it was only when I was thrown into the military prostitute camp that I realized I was still a virgin. She caused
to end up where I am today, don’t you dare say she isn’t as venomous as a viper!”
Yu Ze looked at her with disgust, no longer wanting to waste another word on her, and turned to leave. Muniang had once let her off, which was already rciful, but He Suxue, having found herself in such misfortune, still blad Muniang. What more was there to say about such a woman?
He Suxue panicked and suddenly grabbed Yu Ze’s sleeve, “Even if I was wrong, it was all my fault from the start, and it’s my fault now too. You can’t leave . It’s true that I reached an agreent with Nangong Qian, but do you think I’m in any position to collude with him? He said that if I couldn’t hold onto you and make you take
out, he would throw
back into the military prostitute camp to continue as an army prostitute. If that happens, I’ll be living a fate worse than death. Yu, please don’t leave
behind, I beg you!”
