Chapter 660: Chapter 658: Father-in-law! Please save her quickly!_1

The Third Elder immediately twitched the corners of his mouth and glared, "Are you saying that what I said before wasn’t useful?"

"Nonsense..." The always silent Seventh Elder casually let out a remark.

"Hey! You, old number seven! Do you even know what ’respects for the elderly and love for the young’ mean?" The Third Elder glared at the Seventh Elder like a mischievous old child.

Although the Seventh Elder held a high position among the elders, he was far from old, especially compared to the Third Elder, whose hair was white as snow—it was like seeing a father and son duo.

"I don’t know what ’respects for the elderly and love for the young’ even means..." The Seventh Elder said, with the intention of infuriating the Third Elder.

Seeing this, the others immediately shook their heads; they were used to the Seventh Elder’s behavior. There was nothing they could do—each person had their own temperament.

The Third Elder huffed, "You’re always as stubborn as an ox!"

The Seventh Elder immediately lowered his eyes and stopped paying him attention, thinking that an ox was always better than an old fox when it came to being straightforward.

Mu Yingchen and Mu Zisu rushed through the night with Xiaoxiao, heading straight for the Hundred-Thousand Mountains, because they believed that to save Xiaoxiao, they must go to the Gumiao Tribe!

Although they raced against time, it still took them a day and a night to arrive. By the time they reached the Gumiao Tribe, Xiaoxiao had been unconscious for a whole day.

The blood on her face had been cleaned by Mu Zisu, but the stains on her clothes were still startlingly vivid.

If it weren’t for Xiaoxiao’s faint breathing and heartbeat, Mu Zisu would have thought she had already left him behind.

He was truly afraid, afraid that she would leave him again!

Upon receiving the news, Na Ersi hurried back to the Gumiao Tribe with Na Wa, and everyone was waiting, waiting for when Xiaoxiao would be brought back.

But when they saw Xiaoxiao in Mu Zisu’s arms, everyone was shocked!

"She... forcibly used witchcraft!" Yue Shu exclaimed in shock at the sight of the unconscious Xiaoxiao.

Na Ersi also frowned deeply. Why had it come to this?

Hearing Yue Shu’s words, Mu Zisu’s heart twisted in pain once again!

Forcibly using witchcraft...

His guess was indeed correct!

She had used witchcraft!

The situation was too bizarre at the time; those people were about to shoot at her and him, but in the blink of an eye, they turned their guns on their own hearts!

And those without guns in their hands, as if possessed, picked up guns from the ground and aimed at themselves without hesitation!

He was stunned at that moment!

In less than a minute, all had fallen to the ground!

He knew it had something to do with Xiaoxiao...

But when he turned his gaze to Xiaoxiao, he fell apart!

Blood exquisitely trailed down from her eyes, followed by her nose, then the corners of her mouth...

He didn’t understand what was happening; he only knew her life was slipping away...

"What will happen to her?" asked Mu Yingchen.

The people around shook their heads in unison, and with one accord, Yue Shu let out a deep sigh, "Forcibly using witchcraft, she won’t live past three days!"

Mu Zisu immediately looked at Yue Shu and Na Ersi with eyes full of hope, "You have a way to save her, right?"

Last time she had no breath left, and they brought her back; this time she was clearly still alive, they could certainly save her!

Yue Shu shook her head, "There’s no way..."

The hope in Mu Zisu’s eyes shattered instantly, "No way," they said, "No way..."

What was he supposed to do for his Xiaoxiao...

"Last time we were able to save her because she had her life-bound Poisonous Insect and witchcraft to protect her... But this time... she’s been wounded by her own witchcraft, and no one can save her..." Yue Shu said, looking at Mu Zisu’s anguished expression.

Although she didn’t understand romantic love, she felt helpless about Mu Zisu’s persistence; yet, she also greatly admired it. It was truly moving how deeply a man could love a woman.

It’s just a pity that the two of them were fated but not destined to be together...

Mu Zisu felt as if all his strength had been drained in an instant. Yue Shu’s words were undoubtedly the cruelest thing he could hear!

In this vast world, there seemed to be no one who could save his Xiaoxiao...

He embraced Na Xiaoxiao, heartbroken, as he watched her face grow paler and paler, so powerless that she seemed as if she might disappear from this world at any moment...

"Xiaoxiao... I was wrong... I shouldn’t have taken you away..." He reached out and gently stroked Na Xiaoxiao’s cheek.

The onlookers nodded to themselves upon hearing Mu Zisu’s words. Knowing one’s mistakes was a good thing; not making them again would be even better. He was to be their next great Wizard, after all. If he was led away, what would become of their great Gumiao Tribe?

Mu Zisu held Na Xiaoxiao tightly in his arms, full of regret. He truly regretted it! He should have accepted fate’s plan and not forcibly kept her by his side, not let tragedy play out once again.

He thought as long as he kept her close, she and he could be together forever, never to part.

But... things always veered off course!

Enough, really enough...

"Xiaoxiao... let’s go... let’s go together..." Mu Zisu suddenly stood up, cradling Na Xiaoxiao in his arms, and murmured as he began to move past the crowd towards the exit.

The tribal leader, Na Ersi, Na Wa, and the elders were shocked!

"Yaoyao... what are you doing?" Mu Yingchen, upon hearing Mu Zisu’s words, was also shocked to the core.

"I want to be with her, even in death... we will die together!" Mu Zisu said, looking at Na Xiaoxiao’s face, his eyes filled with tender grief.

Mu Yingchen’s body suddenly froze on the spot!

What did he say?

He wanted to be with Xiaoxiao...

As soon as Mu Zisu’s words were uttered, they sent a shiver down the spine of everyone in the room!

Mu Zisu, without turning back, continued to carry Na Xiaoxiao towards the door!

Mu Yingchen stood petrified on the spot, unable to move!

Watching Mu Zisu step out the door, the normally silent tribal leader and Na Ersi suddenly called out in unison, "Stop!"

But Mu Zisu, as if he hadn’t heard them, kept walking forward.

"Once you step out that door, there’s no saving her..." Na Ersi closed his eyes, shaking his head helplessly.

Faced with a stubborn son-in-law like Mu Zisu, even he felt powerless and frustrated.

He had hoped to use this opportunity to make Mu Zisu completely give up hope, to have the two of them break off cleanly. He never imagined that Mu Zisu would actually want to take his daughter and die with her!

If Mu Zisu were his son, he’d definitely take out silver needles and stab him a hundred and eighty times!

Na Ersi’s words immediately made Mu Zisu halt in his tracks!

It was the feeling of falling into a deep abyss and then being suddenly pulled back up!

He spun around, his excitement impossible to hide.

"Father-in-law! Please save her quickly!"

Father-in-law?

The entire room was shaken!

Na Ersi’s lips twitched uncontrollably; he began to suspect that Mu Zisu might have known all along that they had a way to save Xiaoxiao...
