Chapter 1381 Begging You, Return Her Corpse To Me
Yu Xing was finally brought into the room.
It was Feng Ye Xuan who personally carried her in.
Although Yu Xing was a woman, in Feng Ye Xuan's heart, he was just like Jing Ri Wang Yue and the others, a man.
After sending Yu Xing in, even Feng Ye Xuan was driven out.
"I don't know if I can save her. Her heart was injured, too severely. I have no certainty, but I must try."
"Your Highness, please guard the outside tonight. Do not let anyone disturb you. Otherwise, even the slightest mistake could cost Yu Xing her life."
After that, she closed the door.
Feng Ye Xuan knew that she had everything within her Qiankun Chain and did not need anyone to send her anything.
But seeing her solemn expression, he also knew that the possibility of Yu Xing being saved was almost zero.
Outside the door, in the courtyard, Ding Chen stood under the shadow of a tree, his body covered in blood, all of which belonged to Yu Xing.
His expression was gloomy, exuding an aura of despair.
"Your Highness, this subordinate knows you would not harm Miss Chu."
Ding Chen looked at him, his eyes vacant.
He had never been so disrespectful to Feng Ye Xuan before.
This was the first time, and perhaps, the last.
"But if Yu Xing truly meets her end, this subordinate... this subordinate will definitely kill her to avenge Yu Xing. This subordinate will also return this life to Your Highness!"
Feng Ye Xuan's thin lips were tightly pursed; he said nothing.
Ding Chen also said nothing further, but the pain in his heart grew more intense, so much so that he could barely breathe several times, finding it difficult even to inhale.
It truly hurt!
Why hadn't he known earlier that Yu Xing was a girl?
If he had known sooner, he would have... he would have treated her well, would no longer have bullied her casually, and mocked her for being like a girl, not manly at all.
How could he have known that Yu Xing, who always seemed less heroic than everyone else, was actually a girl?
As past moments of their interactions flashed back into his mind, Ding Chen's pain intensified, his palms trembling uncontrollably.
She had undergone training with them since childhood, pushing herself to the limit in every session.
She had never uttered a word of complaint, never considered retreating even half a step.
Even in the most arduous days, trapped on the battlefield and facing death, she remained calm and composed.
When their brothers rolled in the mud and blood of the battlefield, she, like everyone else, ate dry rations stained with sand and drank water mixed with blood or mud.
No one gave her any extra attention or pity, not even he.
Because he didn't know she was a girl...
"Yu Xing..."
Ding Chen turned and punched the trunk of a tree.
The tear in the corner of his eye finally slid down.
She couldn't possibly have survived, as there was truly no pulse or breath.
Now, they were just waiting. Waiting for Chu Qian Li to go through the motions of fiddling with Yu Xing's corpse before declaring Yu Xing deceased.
Waiting for Chu Qian Li to finish her charade and return Yu Xing's body to him.
But it was only waiting.
Where was the hope?
Where was the possibility?
There was nothing! And there would be nothing!
Ding Chen's fists rained down on the tree trunk, his fingers bleeding, the trunk nearly breaking under his assault.
Finally, he could bear it no longer and knelt before Feng Ye Xuan.
"Your Highness, I beg you... return Yu Xing's body to this subordinate. This subordinate... this subordinate will never seek revenge for her, will never harm Miss Chu! Will never harm Your Highness!"
"Please, return her corpse to me!"
