Chapter 516: Chapter 516: Because I Can’t Die!

"My heart was touched!"

When Lin Tong heard this, a shiver ran through her heart, and she asked with a complex expression, "Is that the reason you fell for him?"

At first, she thought it was Ye Xuan who had taken initiative, but to her surprise, it turned out to be Su Yumo, who always kept men at arm’s length and refused them outright, who had developed feelings first. It was quite ironic.

Now, she didn’t know how to handle her relationship with Su Yumo.

"I guess so..."

Su Yumo sighed softly, then smiled and nodded slightly, her pretty face covered with an enchanting blush as she said, "At first, I kept running away from my own heart, thinking that since he had saved my life and helped me several times, I was merely grateful to him! But today, after a brush with life and death, I realized that I truly like him."

"So... what do you plan to do? Doesn’t your family have a marriage arranged for you? Do you want to call off that arranged marriage and marry him and have children instead?" Lin Tong asked.

"I don’t know."

Su Yumo shook her head and said with a bitter smile, "Lin Tong, you once told me to bravely pursue my own happiness! In the past, happiness seemed unattainable to me, and I never thought I would fall for someone, so I accepted the marriage arranged by my family, thinking it might be my fate."

"But now, when I acknowledge liking someone, the feeling it brings is actually so simple! Just being with him, seeing him, and hearing his voice is enough to make me very happy and content. Everything else doesn’t matter."

Lin Tong was speechless upon hearing this.

Before, when Su Yumo had mentioned the arranged marriage, she had advised her to courageously pursue her happiness!

But now, could she still offer the same advice? That was her own husband, after all. Was she supposed to encourage another woman to pursue her own husband?

People are selfish creatures; even with a close confidante, some things can’t be shared! Which woman wouldn’t wish for a complete love? Shared love tends to become fragmented and scattered.

With a gentle smile, Su Yumo softly said, "This is just my one-sided wish. Honestly, I don’t expect any outcome between him and me, coming from such a prominent family, with too many constraints, and powerless against the family’s arranged marriages. Happiness seems close, but in reality, it is far from oneself!"

"Now, I just want to cherish the present and thoroughly enjoy every beautiful day with him. Even if he doesn’t like me back, it’s okay, as long as I have him in my heart, I’m satisfied! Liking someone doesn’t necessarily mean we have to be together, or get married, right?"

Lin Tong sighed softly. She could feel the helplessness in the other’s words, and she was no different.

Being in such a family, she had no choice regarding marriage! Fortunately, she had found a good husband.

However...

Now, her good friend had fallen for her own husband!

She didn’t know how to choose.

Yumo, oh Yumo, why did it have to be you?

Lin Tong was troubled; this time, she had really encountered an unsolvable problem.

...

In the dimly lit room.

Next to her, a candle was nearly burnt out, the flickering flame casting eerie and grotesque shadows over the face of a corpse that looked as ghastly as a zombie, lying motionless on the bed like a mummified body, terribly frightening.

It was the dried, shriveled body of an old man, evoking a deeply sinister and spooky atmosphere.

The corpse of the old man was that of Ice Demon, who was severely injured by Ye Xuan’s punch and fled!

At this moment, his face was a horrifying pale blue hue, completely devoid of vitality, and at first glance, he looked just like a corpse.

But if one were to press against his chest at this time, one would find that this "corpse" still had a faint heartbeat, albeit at a very low frequency, less than one-tenth of a normal person’s.

Ice Demon was in bad shape, as Ye Xuan’s punch had broken his heart channels. In addition, his internal organs were severely damaged. After struggling back with his last breath, his injuries had fully erupted, almost certainly cutting off his vitality!

Although he wasn’t quite dead yet, he was close to death, with one foot in the ghostly gates, given his current condition, he was sure not to survive the night.

Creak.

Just then, the room’s door was pushed open, and a one-armed woman carrying a bowl of medicine entered.

On one side of her face rested a tattoo of a flower formed by golden snakes, and her eyes were green and snake-like, resembling the eyes of a venomous snake in the dim room.

This one-armed woman was none other than Jin Hua, who had disguised herself as a janitor in the Eastern Group during the day and kidnapped Su Yumo!

At the same time, she was also Ice Demon’s junior sister.

Approaching Ice Demon’s bedside, a deep glint flashed in Jin Hua’s snake-like eyes as she softly called out, "Senior brother."

Ice Demon appeared completely dead as he lay on the bed, unresponsive, just like a corpse.

She called several times, still no response.

It was only then that a sinister smile spread across Jin Hua’s terrifying face, making her look exceptionally eerie, "My senior brother, I initially wanted to use you against that kid, but unexpectedly, you also died at his hands. Now it seems, I will have to figure this out myself."

Staring at Ice Demon’s mummified corpse, greed flashed in her eyes, "However, your corpse, refined through countless poisons, is very beneficial to me! So, do your junior sister a favor, just let me consume your flesh and blood, and then refine your body into a Poison Pill. My power will greatly increase! Then, I will find that kid myself and avenge you."

After speaking, Jin Hua walked over to the table, prepared to put down the medicine she was holding, and lay hands on Ice Demon’s corpse.

However, as she turned around, a chilling voice suddenly came from behind her, "Jin Hua, I didn’t expect you would still attack me."

Huh?

Jin Hua turned abruptly to find that the "corpse" which had been lying on the bed had somehow sat up.

The deep-set eyes inside his sunken sockets stared coldly at her like ghastly flames!

"Senior brother, weren’t you dead?" Jin Hua exclaimed in shock.

"I was dead, now I have but a last breath left, which was just enough to hear what you said." Ice Demon said indifferently.

Hearing this, malice flickered in Jin Hua’s eyes as she slowly approached the bedside and chuckled softly, "Senior brother, I was just kidding with you earlier. We have a deep bond as siblings; how could I harm you for my own benefit?"

Ice Demon shook his head, his voice raspy, "A woman’s heart is most venomous! Jin Hua, no one understands you better than I do. If it weren’t for that intention, you wouldn’t have said those words just now."

Now that her motives were exposed, Jin Hua didn’t bother to hide them anymore, and smiling slightly, she said, "Senior brother, since you know my intentions, why not sacrifice yourself for me? I will remember you for a lifetime."

"No, I can’t satisfy you," Ice Demon said firmly, staring straight at her, "because I cannot die!"
