Free Web NovelChapter 1676: Chapter 1298: To Wear the Crown, One Must Bear Its Weight
"Did you really listen to what I said? I said I was once so jealous I wanted to kill you! Wanted to crush your bones and scatter your ashes!"
This woman, at first, always stood in opposition, angering me to death with her indifference!
But now, no longer opposing her, I’ve discovered that she really wasn’t trying to be annoying!
She truly is very careless, lazy to the bone, inherently lazy!
As if nothing matters to her at all!
"Relax, don’t worry, you’re not the first, and you won’t be the last!" Her phoenix eyes rested on the wound caused by the Giant Python’s bite on Yu Lianyi, Gu Changsheng tilted her head in thought, then took out a Snake Gallbladder she salvaged from her backpack, squeezed some bile onto the wound that had turned dark, and began rebandaging it.
The Giant Python she dissected was definitely venomous, and this Snake Gallbladder, coincidentally, is its own antidote; indeed, she was extremely clever!
"What do you mean, not the first, not the last?" Yu Lianyi was baffled by Gu Changsheng’s words, couldn’t help but ask.
"People so jealous they want to kill me, crush my bones and scatter my ashes!" Gu Changsheng replied, a look of casual indifference on her face, "You’re not the first, and won’t be the last!"
At this point, Gu Changsheng took a moment to look up, gave Yu Lianyi a smile, then continued while busying herself, "To wear the Crown, you must bear its weight! Yu Lianyi, this path isn’t my original choice, but since fate has led me here, I am ready for whatever comes!"
"The path of a king is destined to be lonely; your resentment is truly ordinary to me! You could say, I’ve never taken it to heart! Because, like you said, I’ve already reached a height others can only dream of, to not allow envy and jealousy would be ungracious!"
"Bowing down, admired by the common people, standing on the Nine-Layer heights, utterly alone, Yu Lianyi, from the moment I donned the Crown, I knew I had to endure everything, including resentment like yours..."
"If it neither harms nor breaks bones, hate me if you wish; a life lived alone is too dreary; having someone to love or hate is actually not a bad thing..."
"..."
Gu Changsheng’s indifferent words instantly left the already wounded and pregnant Yu Lianyi in shambles in the bloody river breeze!
She had never encountered a woman like Gu Changsheng before!
"You really think like this?" With a hint of disbelief, Yu Lianyi looked at Gu Changsheng, her eyes flickering with uncertainty.
"Absolutely! Someone like me, standing at the Pyramid’s pinnacle, is destined to accept the gaze of the masses; whether admired, envied, or even hated, it all boils down to one sentence: ’To wear the Crown, you must bear its weight!’ Yu Lianyi, your jealousy is nothing more than a drizzle, don’t take yourself too seriously; with me, besides life and death, it’s really nothing!"
Chased by Man-eating Ants all the way, forcing her to change her plans, Gu Changsheng thought, having someone to chat with to ease her tense emotions was good!
Especially in front of Yu Lianyi, her sense of superiority was overflowing, wasn’t it? free𝑤ebnovel.com
Rarely, Gu Changsheng felt generous, saving her, it’s only right to flaunt her superiority, isn’t it?
Gu Changsheng felt, her actions should be perfectly justified!
However, Yu Lianyi didn’t think so, she was almost angered into internal injuries by Gu Changsheng’s words!
Now, she truly understood, the past confrontations with Gu Changsheng, having been angered to the extreme by her, weren’t coincidences or accidental, but rather because she genuinely didn’t consider her important!
What could be more hurtful than total disregard?
Her past hostility and resentment towards Gu Changsheng, in her eyes, was merely like drizzle, not worthy of mention—this was a cruel yet undeniable truth!
At the moment, Yu Lianyi suddenly didn’t want to speak to Gu Changsheng anymore!
Although Gu Changsheng was her savior at the moment, Yu Lianyi couldn’t help but glare at her hatefully!
Gu Changsheng inadvertently looked up, meeting Yu Lianyi’s glare, she was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter, pointing at Yu Lianyi, "That’s more like it, a living person acting all hopeless, speaking in a weird tone, looking creepy!"
God knows, she didn’t want to see Yu Lianyi looking all enlightened!
Her home already had Little Monk Bu Jie, can’t have another person like that; if so, Gu Changsheng thought, she’d inevitably be infected with the same emptiness!
"Gu Changsheng, what kind of person exactly are you?" At the Bottom of Intestine-Breaking Cliff, under dim and indistinct light, Yu Lianyi looked at Gu Changsheng, tilted her head slightly, and asked with a puzzled expression.
"Alive!" Gu Changsheng responded immediately, simple and straightforward—just two words.
Yu Lianyi was speechless again, glaring at Gu Changsheng in anger!
The original emotions of gratitude, desperation, and emptiness were stirred repeatedly by this woman in front of him; Yu Lianyi felt, at this moment, just like Gu Changsheng said, that she had come back to life!
"Gu Changsheng, you’re really annoying!"
"As I’ve said, those who hate me, love me, or dislike me—you’re not the first, nor will you be the last! You want to join them, feel free!" Gu Changsheng replied indifferently, then lifted Yu Lianyi’s arm, saying, "But please, when you’re talking, could you cooperate a bit with the treatment and lift your arm?"
Following the advice, Yu Lianyi raised her arm, exposing the deep, bone-visible wound, allowing Gu Changsheng to treat it, without flinching, as she watched Gu Changsheng in surprise, saying, "Gu Changsheng, you’re really strange. Annoying, hateful, can’t look away, yet seem to possess a magical power, making people want to be close. Gu Changsheng, don’t you find it odd?"
"Initially I didn’t find it odd, but after you said that, suddenly I feel like an object!"
"What object?" freёwebnoѵel.com
"Silver!" Gu Changsheng’s gaze remained on Yu Lianyi’s wound, treating it diligently, raising an eyebrow and saying, "In this world, rich people love money, poor people hate money—people dying for wealth isn’t uncommon. Saying it attracts everyone’s attention is truly apt. Yu Lianyi, don’t you think I’m quite like silver? Actually, you wouldn’t be wrong to say so. Who is Gu Changsheng? Owning the world, wealth enough to rival nations, that’s undeniably fitting for me. Equating me to silver couldn’t be more appropriate..."
Saying that, Gu Changsheng smiled at Yu Lianyi, seeing the expression on her face, a subtle tremor in her heart!
This Yu Lianyi, while initially not so likable, indeed had some tricks up her sleeve to flourish among noble families!
She chatted with Yu Lianyi to divert her attention, and Yu Lianyi seemed to realize this, cooperating with the treatment without uttering a sound of pain, focusing solely on the conversation!
She is a woman with strong willpower!
This is Gu Changsheng’s judgment of Yu Lianyi!
At least in temperance, she truly tolerates what others cannot. Just dealing with these wounds, if it were a big man, he might be crying out in pain; yet she didn’t utter a sound!
It looks like saving her wasn’t in vain this time!
As the two chatted, Yu Lianyi’s wounds were almost treated. Taking advantage of the treatment gap, Gu Changsheng managed to calm his Internal Breath considerably, looking at Yu Lianyi’s somewhat pale face, he reluctantly took out a Porcelain Vial from his chest and stuffed a medicinal pill into her mouth!
Oh my god, if you’re saving someone, save them completely. We can’t have her flipped around in this chaotic Internal Breath and sliding into a miscarriage, right? That would add insult to injury!
However, at this moment, Gu Changsheng did not ask Yu Lianyi about her plans, about the fate of the child in her belly, or about her own fate. Gu Changsheng did not ask!
She thought, those issues, even if to be discussed, should only be considered once they had the fortune to leave this Intestine-Breaking Cliff alive!
Watching Yu Lianyi consume the medicine, her complexion slightly improving, Gu Changsheng then rose from the ground, glancing at the evildoer meditating, adjusting his breath, unable to help but look toward the bloodstained river...
A glance turned into surprise as Gu Changsheng’s brow furrowed tightly...
Looking across the river under dim light, Gu Changsheng’s hands clenched gradually beneath her red sleeves...
Man-eating Ants!
Damn, these ancestors really stick like dog skin plaster!
Even the big river seems unable to block their path!
Ants crossing the river—this obviously damages a thousand, yet still insists on a relentless stance!
"You damn pest! Still clinging like dog skin plaster!" Cursed under her breath, Gu Changsheng immediately strode toward the riverbank, efficiently clearing obstacles, giving no mercy as she lifted her foot, kicking aside a meditating noble families member blocking her way!
"Gu Changsheng, what madness are you up to? Charging like a bull, eager to reincarnate?" The noble families member who was kicked aside, full of indignation, angrily yelled...
