Chapter 302: Chapter 302 Ning Mengyao Sacrifices Herself

No one expected that Ning Mengyao would make such a choice.

By the time Beitiao Qian Naizi tried to catch her, it was already too late.

Ning Mengyao fell into the pitch-black abyss.

Even in death, her lips still wore a faint smile.

"Meng Yao!"

Xu Zhi Rou, lying on the ground.

Watched in shock as Ning Mengyao jumped down.

The self-reproaching Zhi Rou couldn’t believe it.

Because of herself, she had gambled with her life.

As she wallowed in guilt and regret.

A figure plunged down like lightning.

Without any hesitation, Lin Fan also jumped.

"Why are you so foolish!"

He caught Ning Mengyao in his arms as she fell.

Lin Fan never imagined her goodbye would be so brief.

"Why did you jump!"

Ning Mengyao, without any time to explain, looked at Lin Fan in astonishment.

What should have been a rapid fall seemed like time had stopped for her.

She gazed at Lin Fan’s face, infatuated.

Her eyes held love as well as self-reproach.

If it hadn’t been for her incompetence.

How could she have made him so passive?

"How could anyone sleep on the floor every day if they weren’t foolish? But don’t worry, I don’t want to die right now!"

Lin Fan said with a smile.

However, how could he submit so easily?

Holding Ning Mengyao with one arm, he reached out with the other toward the edge.

Luckily, Ning Mengyao had only leaned back, not jumped.

So her distance from the edge wasn’t too far.

With Lin Fan’s added force, they reached the edge.

As his arms touched the edge.

The protruding rocks became his leverage.

"Bang... bang..."

One stone, two stones, three stones...

Under the momentum, several rocks couldn’t withstand such a force.

They shattered one after another.

Fortunately, although they didn’t stop falling, their descent was slowed down.

Finally, with one rock that withstood Lin Fan’s grip.

The two of them at last came to a halt.

"We don’t have to die!"

Only at this moment did Ning Mengyao come back to her senses.

She looked at Lin Fan excitedly in front of her.

He was truly miraculous.

"Death is off the table, but how to climb up is the biggest problem,"

Lin Fan, testing with his feet, found a foothold.

Only then did he raise his head and look up.

The entrance that was once wide, was now only the size of a fist.

He roughly estimated that they had fallen about ten stories high.

The entire rock face was extremely slippery, with water continually washing over it from above.

To think about climbing up while holding someone.

That was nearly an impossible task.

"Lin Fan, why don’t you let go of me? If one of us can live, that’s enough. After you get back, please take good care of Grandpa,"

Ning Mengyao realized this problem too.

Her presence was a burden, making an already impossible situation even more so.

"What foolish things are you saying? I will never let go of you. Even if it’s the road to the underworld, I’ll walk it with you. But, I still want you to have my babies, so neither of us can die."

Lin Fan shook the water off his head.

Though his words were brave, in such pitch darkness.

Even with his exceptional eyesight, it was difficult to find a proper foothold.

"Lin Fan, be rational. With me as a burden, it’ll be too hard. With your abilities, you can find a better wife anytime. I think Xu Zhi Rou is quite good. You don’t need to die just because of my shortcomings!"

Ning Mengyao knew that continuing like this, both of them would likely not survive.

So, she couldn’t drag Lin Fan down any longer.

"You’re not jealous, are you?"

Lin Fan said with a wry smile.

Just now, the two of them were calling each other ’sister’ this and ’little sister’ that.

How did she suddenly become jealous?

"I’m not jealous, I’m just telling the truth."

Ning Mengyao looked at Lin Fan’s face, "Since your origin lies here, it proves that the path to finding your ancestry will be even more twisted and bizarre, like this time’s events. We don’t know how many more times this will happen, and I can’t help you at all, not even with something as simple as starting a fire. So, there’s no need for you to stay with me and die together. Just let go, I really won’t blame you!"

"Who says you need to know how to make a fire and cook to be a wife? You’ve never been trained in that area, so it’s natural that you can’t do it. If it’s that bad, next time I’ll just go by myself."

Lin Fan looked at Ning Mengyao with a smile.

It was rare to see her so composed.

"But as husband and wife, we should complement each other. We’ve been together for so long, and it’s always you helping me. I just cause more trouble. Lin Fan, I know you’re a man of principle, but you need to live sensibly. If you insist on taking me with you, neither of us will survive. I’m begging you, just let go."

Ning Mengyao pleaded with Lin Fan, her face filled with sorrow.

She really didn’t want to be a burden to him anymore.

"Shut up!"

Suddenly, Lin Fan’s angry roar echoed.

Ning Mengyao, who was still trying to struggle, was stunned.

With wide, beautiful eyes, she stared at Lin Fan in shock.

In all the time she’d known him, he had never spoken to her in this tone before.

"Ning Mengyao, remember this—you are my wife, Lin Fan’s wife. Until I give my consent, you’re not allowed to talk about death, got it?"

"I...I remember..."

Facing such domineering and commanding words,

Ning Mengyao dared not speak anymore.

Even though she still felt a little aggrieved,

the overwhelming pressure and dominance

made her behave more obediently.

Perhaps, women like a man who is both domineering and capable,

who possesses her with a hint of coercion.

Of course, a hint, not savagery.

"Alright, soon I’ll carry you on my back. You just need to hold on to me, the rest..."

Lin Fan had already thought of a plan.

Although it seemed as hard as reaching the heavens, it was the only way.

But just as he was explaining to Ning Mengyao,

a cry suddenly came from above.

"Wait for me... I’ll go with you..."

The voice of Xu Zhi Rou reached them,

filled with endless despair and solemnity.

"No... don’t... jump!"

Lin Fan quickly looked up, just about to shout at her not to do anything foolish,

but a black figure was already plummeting down rapidly.

"Quick, save her!"

Ning Mengyao also saw Xu Zhi Rou’s figure.

Instinctively, she called out loudly to Lin Fan.

But one hand was holding her, and the other gripping the cliff’s edge.

Where could Lin Fan find a free hand to save someone?

Yet, watching Xu Zhi Rou falling fast,

he couldn’t just let go and ignore it.

"Ah, to hell with it!"

With his mind made up, Lin Fan pushed off hard against the cliff with his right hand,

and with a kick of his legs, he propelled himself upward with great force.

In the instant he brushed past Xu Zhi Rou, he grabbed hold of her.

"You... you haven’t died..."

The despairing Xu Zhi Rou looked at them in astonishment.

In her heart, she had already deemed them gone.

"We weren’t dead, but now we might be, thanks to you!"

Lin Fan sighed.

At this moment, the upward momentum stopped,

and the three of them began to fall rapidly downwards again.

No one knew what lay in the darkness below.

If it was the ground, even Lin Fan

would undoubtedly be dead.
