308: Chapter 293: I Won’t Let You Die_1 308: Chapter 293: I Won’t Let You Die_1 At this time, Lu Chuan’s voice rang out, “Sister Yun, are you in there?”

Upon hearing this, Yun Ji quickly suppressed her cough and made her voice sound as normal as possible, “I’m not!”

“Not in?

Then I’m coming in.” Lu Chuan pushed open the door and walked in.

Yun Ji quickly sat up straight and tried to look as if nothing was wrong, frowning as she said, “I already told you I’m not here, so why are you coming in!”

Lu Chuan said with a smile, “I came to see who was talking.”

Yun Ji huffed, turned her head away, and ignored Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan walked up to Yun Ji and said earnestly, “Sister Yun, I’ve come to apologize.

That day, I didn’t intend to reject you.

It was just that I had that life-threatening trouble and couldn’t dual cultivate with you.”

“Now, I’ve resolved that trouble thanks to the fruit you brought me, so I’m here to fulfill my promise.”

“If you really want me to dual cultivate with you, then I will listen to you.

I’ll find a way to resolve the Karmic Fire within your body, otherwise, I’ll always feel like I’m taking advantage of this situation.”

Upon hearing his words, Yun Ji’s mood relaxed considerably.

However, at this moment, she was severely injured and her life was hanging by a thread, in no condition for dual cultivation.

She didn’t mind that, as she just wanted an attitude from Lu Chuan.

Now seeing that he was willing to dual cultivate with her made her very happy—it at least proved that Lu Chuan didn’t dislike her.

She took a deep breath and said, “I don’t want to dual cultivate with you anymore.”

Lu Chuan was a bit surprised and asked, “Then what do you want me to do?”

Yun Ji’s expression suddenly became incredibly solemn as she said, “I hope you can become the guardian of the Demon Tribe!”

Lu Chuan paused, then said, “Sister Yun, don’t joke with me.

With my little strength, how am I qualified to be the guardian of the Demon Tribe?

You think too highly of me.”

Yun Ji seriously said, “Although you aren’t strong enough to guard the Demon Tribe now, that’s only temporary.

Your potential is among the greatest I have ever seen.

Plus, you seem to possess considerable fortune.

I estimate that in less than three years, you’ll become a powerhouse capable of influencing the world’s balance.”

“My request isn’t much; I only hope that when you reach that level, you’ll remember the promise you made to me.

When the Demon Tribe is in peril, you’ll lend a hand.”

“The Demon Tribe I lead has been cultivating virtue and doing good deeds for years, never harming humans.

I can also assure you that they will never do evil to humans in the future.”

“I only ask that, within your capabilities, you provide them with a space to live, nothing more.”

As Lu Chuan listened to Yun Ji’s words, he couldn’t help frowning; he felt that she was talking as if she was settling her final affairs, which made him a bit uneasy.

“Sister Yun…”

Just as Lu Chuan was about to speak, Yun Ji could no longer bear it.

A burning pain surged from her chest, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, her body collapsing weakly to the side.

Lu Chuan’s face changed, and he quickly supported Yun Ji, checking her pulse.

Once he confirmed that Yun Ji’s injuries were very serious, he began to feel a sense of urgency, “Sister Yun, why didn’t you tell me your injuries were so severe?

I thought you were only lightly wounded!”

When Yun Ji gave him the fruit, he noticed she was injured, but he didn’t take it to heart at the time—after all, with Yun Ji’s formidable strength, a minor injury wasn’t something he needed to worry about.

But who could have imagined that in searching for that Emerald Green Fruit for him, she had put her life on the line?

Moreover, judging by her pulse, he could tell that Yun Ji’s injuries had worsened due to emotional repression, clearly a result of his refusal to dual cultivate with her that day.

He was filled with intense self-reproach, realizing that if he had explained things clearly at the time, Yun Ji’s condition wouldn’t have deteriorated so badly.

Yun Ji, incredibly weak, pleadingly looked at Lu Chuan and said, “You have to agree to my request first, you said as long as it doesn’t go against your principles, you would grant any request of mine.”

With a solemn expression, Lu Chuan looked at Yun Ji and, after a long while, refused, “Sister Yun, I beg your forgiveness, but I can’t agree to this request.”

Yun Ji couldn’t believe it, “Why?

Is this request even harder for you to agree to than dual cultivation with me?”

But Lu Chuan said, “You are the guardian of the Demon Tribe.

This duty of protecting the Demon Tribe should still be yours to bear.

I don’t have the strength nor the right to take on this role.”

Yun Ji said with agitation, “But I won’t live much longer!”

Lu Chuan laid Yun Ji down on the bed, “I won’t let you die.”

Yun Ji sighed, “My injury has reached an incurable stage, even if the most skilled Divine Doctor in the world tried, my injury is beyond healing.

Don’t be so delusional.”

Lu Chuan said calmly, “Just because others can’t heal you doesn’t mean I can’t.”

Then, he actually tore open the clothes on Yun Ji’s chest, revealing a vast expanse of white skin.

Yun Ji’s eyes widened, “What… what are you doing?

You still want to torment me when I’m this injured?”

“Shut up!” Lu Chuan said sharply, and with several silver needles appearing in his hand, he inserted them into the acupuncture points on Yun Ji’s body.

Although Yun Ji’s exquisite body was drool-worthy, this was a time for saving her life, and his mind couldn’t afford any distractions.

Yun Ji recognized her misunderstanding when she saw Lu Chuan applying acupuncture to her.

However, she remained hopeless, for with her high realm, she could see the true nature of the problem—her injuries were beyond the scope of what medicine could heal.

But seeing Lu Chuan treating her so earnestly, the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curl up slightly.

This guy still cares about me deep in his heart.

After a while, Lu Chuan put away the silver needles and looked at Yun Ji, asking, “How do you feel?”

Yun Ji was utterly astonished; she found that her condition had indeed been stabilized by Lu Chuan.

Yet she said pessimistically, “All you’ve done is prevent the worsening of the injury.

This only means I’ll die a few days later; it doesn’t make much difference.”

Lu Chuan said, “As long as the injury doesn’t worsen, that’s enough.”

He then got up and left the room, gathered some herbs, boiled them into a bowl of medicinal soup, and came back to Yun Ji’s room, saying, “Drink this medicine.”

Yun Ji frowned, thinking that Lu Chuan was wasting his efforts.

She would rather agree to be the guardian for the Demon Tribe than indulge in fruitless hope, so she petulantly said, “I won’t drink it!”

Lu Chuan said, “You have to drink this medicine if you want me to save you.”

Yun Ji huffed, “Don’t comfort me, my wounds are beyond healing.”

Lu Chuan said, “I really have a way, trust me this time.”

Yun Ji turned her head away, “I won’t drink it!”

Lu Chuan, looking helpless, glanced at the bowl of medicine and suddenly came up with an idea.

He picked up the bowl, drank the medicine, and then kissed Yun Ji.
