Free Web NovelChapter 1674: Chapter 1296: Once an Abandoned Wife, Now Reigning Over the World
The bloodstained red dress slashed through the air like a stream of light, heading straight for the floating corpse of the river crocodile!
Seeing his little woman act so decisively and skillfully, Zhou Mu couldn’t help but shake his head. A hint of doting flashed across his face, as divine and awe-inspiring as a deity. With a step, he also flew toward the river...
As long as she’s happy!
"Brother Lan, don’t leave me, don’t leave our child, I beg you..."
Humble pleas, a weak voice, barely audible sobs. At this moment, Yu Lianyi seemed nothing like the bright and radiant figure she first appeared to be; she was as disheveled as could be...
"You wench, if you dare to frame my brother again, don’t blame me for disregarding the goodwill between people of the Hidden World Clan. Do you believe I’ll kill you right now!" Dantai Heyu knew that the longer the stalemate lasted, the more it would damage her brother’s reputation. Moreover, their current situation was already unfavorable; they couldn’t afford further delay!
Her words matched her actions, Dantai Heyu truly harbored murderous intent in that instant!
Her brother, Dantai Lan, was the hope and future of the Dantai Family. She absolutely couldn’t let today’s scandal become established, she couldn’t allow Yu Lianyi to continue tarnishing her brother’s name!
With longsword in hand, Dantai Heyu’s delicate face was full of killing intent. She glanced at Elder Yu, and seeing he had no intention to intervene, Dantai Heyu stepped closer, approaching the fallen Yu Lianyi step by step...
"Brother Lan... Brother Lan, our child..."
Completely unaware that death was drawing near, Yu Lianyi remained in her own world, her face full of longing, as if envisioning a future that delighted her...
"Wench, take your bastard child and go to hell!"
Standing at Yu Lianyi’s feet, Dantai Heyu’s longsword gleamed coldly, already pointed at Yu Lianyi’s throat!
Beside them, Dantai Lan showed no sympathy on his somber face, and there was even a hint of relief in his eyes!
It was as if he were about to be rid of a burden!
"Die!"
Seeing everyone tacitly agree to her actions, Dantai Heyu’s eyes flashed coldly. She gave a low shout, raised her longsword, and slashed toward Yu Lianyi’s throat!
Just one sword strike!
Just if she completed this strike, Yu Lianyi, heavily injured and defenseless, would lie dead on the spot!
No matter if there was indeed an illegitimate pregnancy between her and my brother, it would all go unquestioned with Yu Lianyi’s death!
Then, our Dantai Family would have ways to dispel the Hidden World Clan’s suspicions about my brother!
The white sword gleam reflected the sunlight in the river of blood, red and white meeting together, glaring at the sight!
Closer!
Closer!
The sword gleam was already near Yu Lianyi’s throat, even Yu Lianyi, immersed in her world and oblivious, seemed to feel the chill on her neck, her slender, humble body instinctively protecting her belly...
"Enough!"
Just as the Hidden World Clan watched coldly on the sidelines, Gadatu, an outsider, spectated the show, a low, authoritative, and anger-laden voice rang out from afar!
"Bang!"
In the next instant, Dantai Heyu’s longsword was struck away by a force, flying out horizontally as she stumbled backward, unable to react!
Incredulous gazes quickly turned to the source of the voice!
Red garments, covered in bloodstains!
Long hair as black as ink, simply bound with a single Jade Clasp!
A vivid face, slightly arched brows, phoenix eyes deep and full of undeniable authority...
Gu Changsheng!
In this world, there was only one woman, as arrogant and natural as if born to be, with a noble aura that captured the hearts of all!
Looking at the woman descending beside Yu Lianyi in her fluttering red dress, the Hidden World Clan and Gadatu showed expressions of disbelief!
"Gu Changsheng! This is the matter of the Hidden World Clan! You’re not allowed to interfere!" Dantai Heyu snarled, crawling up from the ground with her longsword, her expression somewhat embarrassed at the sudden intervention of Gu Changsheng!
"I’m a disciple of Medicine King Valley, which counts me as someone from the Hidden World Clan, so why can’t I interfere?" Hearing this, Gu Changsheng directed a sharp gaze at Dantai Heyu, her phoenix eyes full of disdain!
"You!" Upon hearing this, Dantai Heyu choked, reacted, and glared angrily at the fallen Yu Lianyi, speaking again with sternness, "Gu Changsheng, are you thinking of saving her? Her mother came from a prostitute, and she herself is even more indecent, spouting nonsense! Is such a woman worth saving?"
"Whether she spouts nonsense, doesn’t your brother know better than anyone else?" Gu Changsheng sneered upon hearing this, then looked at Dantai Heyu with disdain and said, "Moreover, whether she’s worth saving or not, what I, Gu Changsheng, decide to do is not for a ruthless person like you, who murders your kin, to dictate!"
"You! And all of you!" As she spoke, Gu Changsheng raised her hand, pointing at a group of people from the Hidden World Clan, and said coldly, "A bunch of hypocritical tyrants! The callousness of the people from the Hidden World Clan, I, Gu Changsheng, have truly seen it today!"
"You!"
"Gu Changsheng, you!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, anger appeared on the faces of those from the Hidden World Clan, but thinking of Gu Changsheng’s abilities and the tall, handsome man standing beside her, they hesitated to say or do anything!
These two were able to nearly slaughter the giant crocodiles in the river with their combined strength!
The bloody scene took place right before their eyes, and now, they stood on the floating bodies of the giant crocodiles!
Gu Changsheng, this woman who can resist several giant crocodiles, instilled a deep-seated fear in them!
Fear of the strong, even the elders of the Hidden World Clan couldn’t escape it!
"Yu Lianyi!" Lowering her head, she reached out, grabbing the disheveled woman murmuring on the ground, Gu Changsheng’s young and bright face frowned slightly, she raised her hand, delivering a loud slap to Yu Lianyi’s face!
"Slap!"
The crisp sound of the slap left everyone present a bit stunned!
Could they have misunderstood? Did Gu Changsheng specifically fly back, not to save Yu Lianyi, but to avenge the past disrespectful remarks Yu Lianyi made towards her?
However, as soon as this thought arose, it quickly dissipated!
Because, after slapping Yu Lianyi, Gu Changsheng spoke angrily at her failure, "Yu Lianyi, wake up! Look clearly, this man standing by watching coldly, eager for your death, is he worth your desperate pleading?"
"Brother Lan... Brother... Lan..." Her face quickly swelled up, Yu Lianyi heard Gu Changsheng’s words, her confused eyes slightly stiffened.
"Even if you die, die with dignity, you are better off relying on yourself than begging others, Yu Lianyi, I am giving you a way out, remember today, and abandon these people!" Gu Changsheng’s gaze turned to Elder Yu, her eyes full of disdain as she spoke, "Your father, your legitimate sister and brother, your lover, your clansmen..."
"Yu Lianyi, your origins are not for you to decide, but the path is yours to tread. Choosing the wrong man is not frightening, start over again and that’s all. Everyone knows, I, Gu Changsheng, am also an abandoned woman, so what? I can still reign over the world, looking down upon everything!"
"It’s hard to be a woman, so even if everyone belittles and scorns me, I will strive to live for myself, for my child, and live even better!"
As she spoke, Gu Changsheng extended her hand, holding Yu Lianyi’s wrist, meeting her confused eyes, she spoke in a deep voice, "Yu Lianyi, I am giving you a chance to live anew, come with me!"
Upon hearing Gu Changsheng’s words, Yu Lianyi’s confused eyes gradually cleared, she looked at Gu Changsheng blankly, with a trace of incredulous confusion in her expression, before speaking in a hesitant voice, "Why?"
Why would she save her?
When even her own father, her lover, her clansmen, even she herself, had abandoned her, why save her?
Why?
"Because, I was once humble too, so I cannot bear to see a woman, in front of me, being so humble like dust! Especially one who is with child, instinctively protecting the baby in her womb!" Her fingers rested on Yu Lianyi’s pulse, Gu Changsheng’s lips curled slightly, speaking softly, "Come with me, remember those who abandoned and hurt you, become a woman with pride and self-respect, who asks nothing of anyone!"
Now, Gu Changsheng was a hundred percent sure, Yu Lianyi was indeed pregnant! frёewebηovel.cѳm
Yu Lianyi bowed her head slightly at these words, falling into silence.
Following Gu Changsheng meant leaving everything she once had!
But, did she really have anything?
Recalling how her own father, just now, was willing to give up on her, a bitter smile appeared on Yu Lianyi’s face!
The Yu Mansion, family, Hidden World Clan...
All of these people and things, made her heart cold!
"Yu Lianyi, although the path I, Gu Changsheng, walk cannot be replicated, women should not only live as men’s appendages! Especially not someone like Dantai Lan, such scum is not worth your love, nor can he become your pillar to rely on! Come with me, you can live better! Much better than now!" There’s no denying, Gu Changsheng had a soft spot for talent; Yu Lianyi, in her moment of utmost despair, nearly fell into her own world, unable to extricate herself, but this could not negate her notable talents within the Hidden World Clan!
At this moment, Gu Changsheng genuinely wanted to save this woman, to take her under her wing!
Otherwise, she would not be so patient in persuading her!
However, unexpectedly to everyone, after a moment of silence, Yu Lianyi shook her head...
