Chapter 260: 149, 150. Return, Social Death, Mysterious Reappear World (Major Chapter - Subscribe Request)_4

Had there been onlookers, they surely would have teared up at the scene before them.

Time passed, so much so that Song Cheng felt "a person would definitely starve to death if they went this long without eating," yet Su Mengzhen still had breath in her.

Suddenly, as if a flicker of returning light, she murmured in fits and starts, "Song... Cheng... I’m sorry...

Before, I... I actually seduced you...

You were so outstanding, and I feared Yu wouldn’t be able to hold on to you...

That’s why I resorted to seducing you...

Men are like... like dogs, the bone that they can’t eat but can only smell is always the best.

I... wanted to make you fall for me, then occasionally give you a bit of sweetness to keep you obsessed with me.

But I had no other ill intentions, I just wanted to tie you to the Su Family."

Song Cheng: ???

!!!

Indeed, his feelings at that time weren’t wrong, he had indeed been flirted with.

But why was his elder sister-in-law saying this now?

Did she truly think she was going to die, and his current actions moved her, thus she was confessing the truth on her deathbed?

Had he acted too convincingly?

Meanwhile, Su Mengzhen leaned weakly against Song Cheng’s shoulder, whispering into his ear with a feeble voice, "Actually... the noble person is probably you, Song... But this tower, even that was beyond your expectations.

We... we are going to die here.

I’m sorry, it’s my fault for dragging you down...

As the head of a family, I was so ignorant about the Reappear Calamity.

I’m sorry...

If there really is a reincarnation, in the next life, I will make it up to you."

Song Cheng: ...

After hesitating, he decided to still tell the "truth," thus he said, "Sister Su, there really is a noble person."

"Is that so."

Su Mengzhen smiled faintly but didn’t wish to argue any more with the stubborn Song, as she hugged his neck. Her body had completely lost any sensation from the freezing cold, only the part of her chest and abdomen touching Song Cheng’s back still retained a faint trace of warmth.

She was extremely hungry, to the extreme.

She didn’t even know why she hadn’t died from starvation yet.

But, it no longer mattered.

Thinking back, from the shattered Greenbird Continent to the Shang Dynasty continent, all her thoughts and concerns were about keeping her family going. She was too repressed and too tired.

Might as well just sleep.

Song Cheng felt that his elder sister-in-law hadn’t reached the point of true death, so he continued carrying her and climbing even higher.

The cold air hit his face, and Song Cheng didn’t know how far he had walked, but he felt his elder sister-in-law’s stomach was extremely empty, empty to the point where he could even feel her bones.

Upon touching again, he discovered that his elder sister-in-law’s previously plump flesh had all shriveled...

"It’s so cold... so hungry..."

Su Mengzhen, despite being extremely cold and hungry, was still alive.

The intense suffering had made her consciousness completely hazy.

Starving but not dead.

Freezing but not stiff.

The road was long and endless, dark to the point of seeing nothing, such that the pain of near death was amplified countless times...

This place must be Hell, right?

Song Cheng felt something increasingly amiss with the elder sister-in-law on his back as she began to feel lighter, almost as if all the flesh on her body was drying up, leaving nothing but a skeleton...

Finally, he couldn’t wait any longer, uncertain whether Su Mengzhen, even if she survived the ordeal, would end up insane.

Thus, as Su Mengzhen passed out once again, he stopped.

Snap!

He tapped the wall next to him.

The wall instantly turned into a door.

Song Cheng opened the door, carrying Su Mengzhen inside.

Looking back once more, he saw clearly that his Reappear Calamity had indeed been inside a tower, a tower that soared directly into the stars.

With one thought...

Reappear ended.

Song Cheng opened his eyes to find himself and Su Mengzhen still in the gorge.

The mist was hazy; he raised his hand to disperse it, only to see that the lush valley they had come through had now turned completely golden.

Autumn had arrived.

"Sister Su, Sister Su..."

Song Cheng shook his elder sister-in-law.

His elder sister-in-law’s eyelids moved slightly, but no matter how much Song Cheng shook her, she wouldn’t wake up.

Feeling his elder sister-in-law’s breathing become normal, Song Cheng knew she was feigning unconsciousness.

This somewhat reassured him.

Feeling the hunger in his stomach, he said, "Sister Su, I’m going to hunt something to eat."

With that, Song Cheng stood up and scanned the surroundings.

His vision quickly passed over the mountains, identifying some creatures that appeared to be Demon Beasts.

Song Cheng leapt into action, and in no time at all caught three rabbits about the size of an adult human, skillfully skinned and cleaned them by a nearby mountain spring, then started a fire...

Before long, the aroma of cooking meat drifted through the air.

Su Mengzhen, seeing Song Cheng busying himself, knew she was caught pretending to faint, and combined with her own hunger, she opened her eyes, sat up, and came over to help him roast the rabbits.

During this time, neither of them spoke.

Because it was too awkward.

Some truths that one would only reveal at the brink of death were spoken too soon, and since dying hadn’t happened, it created the current atmosphere...

After a while, Su Mengzhen finally said, "Song, I think we probably succeeded in surviving the ordeal, but it will take some time to consolidate. But, how did we get out?"

Song Cheng, while turning the rabbit meat, responded, "I don’t know. I just kept carrying you, walking onward and upward, dazedly... Walking and walking, I saw a light gate, so I went through it, and then we were out."

Su Mengzhen suddenly felt her heartbeat accelerate.

"Song, don’t tell Yu the things I told you in the ordeal... ’Seducing, giving you a taste of sweetness,’ and ’making it up to you in the next life’..."

If it were an unrelated man and woman, it would have been fine.

But these two were in a relationship of nephew-in-law and elder sister-in-law, so such words were purely transgressions.

"Hmm."

Song Cheng muttered quietly, then focused on grilling the meat, suddenly raised his hand, handing a skewer to his elder sister-in-law, and said, "It’s done."
