I threw myself on the ground and knelt at Liuchi's feet, my dry eyes burning with the humblest plea: "Liuchi, I beg you, please... let him live, I beg you..."
This scene seems familiar. Once upon a time, I begged him not to erase my memory.
He smiled and said to me: "Don't worry, I will let you remember it."
It has to be said that he successfully fulfilled his original promise.
I remember him, but I remember him being so heartbroken.
Now, I am doing the same, kneeling at his feet and begging him to let Xia Yan go.
I just don’t know what kind of expression he will use to promise me.
"Let me go, let me go." Yan Xitong's voice came from outside.
Yan Xiaoqing wanted to go out to rescue him, but when Liu Chi raised his hand, countless vines on the ground wrapped up Yan Xiaoqing like devil's claws, making him unable to move.
Not only that, even Qi Xuan was not spared.
"Don't use Nether Fire easily, Yan Xiaoqing!" Liuchi reminded quietly.
The netherworld fire cannot be extinguished, and it does not rain here.
Yan Xiaoqing's face had been wrapped tightly, but the vines were still tightening. I seemed to hear the sound of flesh being tightened.
Qi Xuan was also bound by the vines, and he made a painful suffocation sound as he was strangled: "Uh..."
I was so shocked that I didn't know what to do, and looked at Liuchi with total fear.
Liu Chi slowly stood up with a calm look: "Princess, do you want to save them or Xia Yan?"
Looking at the condescending man, for a moment, I wanted to die with him.
"Putao... don't promise him anything..." Yan Xiaoqing let out a weak cry, as if she was going to die in the next second.
And Yan Xitong's strenuous shouting could be heard from outside: "Listen to Fourth Brother!"
The noise of the two people made Liu Chi smile with a frosty sneer. With a slight movement of his fingers, he heard Yan Xitong and Yan Xiaoqing's uncontrollable groans of pain.
"Don't-" I begged for mercy hurriedly.
Liu Chi looked at me quietly: "Princess, I will give you a chance to choose again. Which one do you choose between them and Xia Yan?"
Relatives, friends, lovers...how to choose?
Looking at the person in front of me, my eyes were blank.
I have reached a crossroads where I must make a decision.
It was Liuchi who forced me onto this dead end.
I slowly got up from the ground and looked at the face in front of me that had not changed for thousands of years.
After so many years, he is still so young, but I seem to be decades older. The moment Xia Yan lost his breath, my life seemed to have come to an end.
"Actually, there is a third way." I heard my own voice coming from far away.
Liu Chi smiled: "Oh?"
I made eye contact with him: "Then I'll kill you."
The whole world went silent because of what I just said, and the air around me became thicker.
Liu Chi looked at me quietly, with a slight smile on his lips, just like when he first met me, I was on the throne and he was standing under the court.
Soon enough, his palms were shaken, and the water pool not far away immediately made a burst of sound, followed by a crystal clear ice sword flying in from the outside, Liu Chi quickly took out the sword from his waist to meet it.
Resisting, the two swords collided with each other, making a shattering sound, and the air also dropped to freezing point.
I followed the same method and condensed the water into handfuls of ice picks that could kill people. While fighting Liuchi for the final decisive battle, I tried my best to subdue him.
