Free Web NovelChapter 1717: Chapter 1327: She’s a Pro at Robbing! (Part 2)
Holding Yu Lianyi, Gu Changsheng crouched down beside Gadatu...
Since he was holding a woman, Gu Changsheng’s crouching posture looked exceptionally bold and macho...
However, as a woman with a celestial appearance but a wild spirit, and genuinely masculine, Gu Changsheng wouldn’t pay attention to such details. Crouching down, she took a keen interest in examining Gadatu, then, holding Yu Lianyi in one arm and resting her chin on the other hand, she thoughtfully said, "Gadatu, you’re seriously injured! Even if I don’t finish you off, staying in this Valley of Forgetfulness will leave you no way out; either way, you’re unlikely to escape death..."
Upon hearing this, Gadatu’s blood-stained face immediately showed a bitter smile...
Indeed, as Gu Changsheng said, in his current condition, he truly couldn’t get out of the Valley of Forgetfulness!
The smell of blood from his injuries, if not treated, would sooner or later attract the beasts in the valley; death is indeed unavoidable!
"Southern Emperor?" Nevertheless, recalling Gu Changsheng’s earlier mention of rescue, a glimmer of hope flashed in Gadatu’s eyes, like grasping the final straw of salvation. He anxiously spoke, "Southern Emperor, save me! Since the Southern Emperor is not on good terms with the Hidden World Clan, save me, and once I leave the Valley of Forgetfulness and return to Yanmen Pass, I will certainly obliterate the Hidden World Clan to quench my anger!"
Hearing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but sneer!
With Gadatu alone? To wipe out the Hidden World Clan, it seems, is a bit difficult!
Moreover, the puppet master behind all this, if she guessed correctly, is none other than the damned Fufeng Tianlan. Since the Hidden World Clan is against her, why would Fufeng Tianlan truly let her puppet wipe them out?
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, Gu Changsheng thought; Fufeng Tianlan would surely regard the Hidden World Clan as her confidant!
Scanning Gadatu, Gu Changsheng’s face showed a hint of amusement...
Nonetheless, the Hidden World Clan indeed has a mortal vendetta against Gadatu; this seems to be a settled fact!
Since Gadatu has managed to hold the position of Pass Defending General at Yanmen, he surely isn’t just a mere drunkard and glutton. Keeping him to trouble the Hidden World Clan is more than enough!
Although thinking this internally, Gu Changsheng absolutely wouldn’t admit the truth of Gadatu’s words!
"Great General, your words are not quite right. I, Gu Changsheng, am not one to stab someone in the back. I can save you, but it’s not to help you seek vengeance against the Hidden World Clan! Whether you seek revenge against them honestly doesn’t concern me at all!" She truly didn’t consider the Hidden World Clan to be much!
"Then..." Gadatu, hearing Gu Changsheng’s words, immediately grew anxious...
Taking in Gadatu’s anxious expression, Gu Changsheng felt quite gratified!
Damn, all those negative emotions from this journey in the Valley of Forgetfulness were finally gone—it was a relief; she almost turned twisted and dark!
Fortunately, she had a good mindset, knowing how to relieve herself!
Looking down at the fallen Gadatu, Gu Changsheng raised an eyebrow and, under his hopeful gaze, once again spoke, "Gadatu, I can save you, but considering our different standpoints, if I save you for no reason, I won’t be able to explain to Borjigin Nian. However, Borjigin Nian knows that I am one who values wealth above all! Gadatu, I am benevolent, I won’t ask for much from you; just swear by your Longevity Heaven to offer your entire fortune, and I will stop your bleeding and heal you, then lead you out of this Valley of Forgetfulness—what do you say?"
"..." Hearing this, Gadatu’s face immediately darkened!
Seeing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, "What’s it going to be? Do you choose money or life?"
God knows, she really wasn’t asking for much!
Just your entire fortune, that’s all; she really couldn’t ask for more!
The Northern Mongolian people have a firm belief in Longevity Heaven; to swear by Longevity Heaven is to make a vow that wouldn’t be broken even by death!
Gadatu immediately faced a dilemma. If he really made such a vow, he’d return as a pauper, without silver. Those beautiful and tender young male prostitutes would certainly be hard to continue his past relationships with...
Choosing between death or becoming a pauper?
This is truly a hard choice!
"Gadatu, the person in my arms is still waiting for me to go back and save her; I don’t have much time to idle around with you! Choose between money or life, quickly!" Gu Changsheng urged Gadatu after seeing his hesitation and added sincerely, "However, there’s an old saying that goes, ’a good death is worse than a bad life,’ especially considering your current situation—if you stay here, you’re unlikely to find even a good death; Gadatu, you should think carefully!"
Threat!
Another blatant threat!
Imagining his fate if he stayed here, Gadatu confirmed that, as Gu Changsheng said, it would indeed be worse than death; ultimately, he would end up as beast fodder, with no remains...
Such a death, quite tragic!
Fear of death is somewhat natural, and Gadatu’s heart couldn’t fully embrace such a death!
Therefore, almost the next moment, Gadatu made a difficult decision as if cutting flesh, "Alright! I, Gadatu, vow by Longevity Heaven, that if you get me out of here, I am willing to offer my entire fortune! Should I break the vow, Longevity Heaven should abandon me, and I will have no peace even after death!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s bright little face immediately showed a smile!
Slowly getting up, she readjusted Yu Lianyi on her shoulder, then took out a porcelain vial from her arms, with a wicked and sinister grin, and began to sprinkle it over the blood-soaked Gadatu...
