Chu Rui's heart was filled with vexation. Never had he imagined that You Ming would actually reveal such a trump card at this moment that caused him to hesitate in taking action against You Ming. He could only blame himself. If he had been more careful back then, he would not have ended up like this.
But no matter what, he would not do as You Ming said. This was his last chance, and it was also because of the Heavenly Demon's complete trust in him that he had sacrificed his life in exchange. He could not let him down, nor could he afford to. No matter what, he would persevere until the end. As long as he was alive, there was hope. As long as he took back his body, he would be able to merge with the Chaotic Green Lotus, increase his strength, and fight against fate, which would soon fully recover. He could not give up here.
"Lian 'er!"
Chu Rui looked at the soul that You Ming had captured and called out. Perhaps even he did not realize that his voice was trembling.
"Dad … Dad!"
You Li-er was a little stuffy from being captured by You Ming. Her eyes were full of pleading as she looked at Chu Rui, her voice trembling. She definitely would not betray Rui, but this was not what he wanted, and it was not something that could be changed by his will. When she was on the Netherworld Divine Boat, she had absorbed a huge amount of Netherworld Origin Energy. She had thought that this was a great opportunity. Who would have thought that this was a terrible trap that had caused the person she loved the most to fall into an incomparably difficult choice.
Chu Rui looked lovingly at You Li-er, the child he had picked up in his previous life, who had always called him Dad. He ignored the pleading in her eyes. This pleading was not begging him to save her, but to ignore her. But how could Chu Rui do such a thing? Regardless of whether it was You Tianling's memories of his daughter in his consciousness or his memories of her in this life, she was both his "daughter" and his lover.
In Chu Rui's heart, You Li-er and Qin Yue had the same status. For the sake of Qin Yue and the others, he did not hesitate to sacrifice himself in exchange for conditions from the Extraterrestrial Demons so that they could leave and survive. Before that, he had even gone crazy for them and sealed off his consciousness. Could it be that he couldn't do the same for You Lian 'er?
How can you say that I don't care!
Chu Rui took a deep look at You Li-er. The complex look in his eyes almost drove her crazy. After following Chu Rui for so long, You Li-er knew him very well. With his personality, it was impossible for him to be so heartless. Perhaps in the eyes of You Ming and the others, his actions were extremely foolish, but in their hearts, he was an indomitable hero. This wasn't simply because beauty was in the eye of the beholder. It was because of what Chu Rui had done. Any woman would be touched.
Originally, You Li-er was just an orphan who had been reduced to a beggar. It was You Tianling who had picked her up and allowed her to leap from a beggar to the princess of the World of Dead Souls. She was the focus of everyone's attention. She admired and appreciated You Tianling from the bottom of her heart. However, as she grew older, when this appreciation and admiration for the strong reached a certain level, it sublimated into love.
As You Tianling's reincarnation, Chu Rui was very loyal. Even though he was the ruler of the vast World of Dead Souls and was more powerful than an emperor, he only had eyes for the Demon Princess, Hua Feifei. At that time, You Li-er did not dare to express her feelings because of her identity and her inferiority complex.
The sky cleared after the rain, and she looked at the moon in the clear sky! After waiting for countless years, You Tianling's reincarnation had finally arrived. At this time, no one recognized them, and no one could stop them. When Chu Rui carried her out of the ice coffin in the spatial crack, their identities had changed. They were no longer father and daughter! As time passed, her memories recovered, and she remembered that they were together. Previously, she did not dare to have any improper thoughts about You Tianling, her father. Even if she did, she had to bury them in her heart.
However, he was no longer You Tianling, but Chu Rui. Even though he was still him in her eyes, he was no longer the pure him. The taboo in her heart had finally been broken, and at this time, no one would be able to stop them. After experiencing so many things along the way, she finally got what she wanted.
She had been sealed in the ice coffin for countless years, and her cultivation had deteriorated to an unbearable level. Even her memories had been sealed. However, the love in her heart could not be erased. When that pair of warm hands carried her out of the ice coffin, her fate changed. Even if she had to turn into ashes, she would never let him suffer the slightest bit of harm.
Sparkling tears fell like pearls. She understood the meaning in his eyes. She understood him. She knew very well that even if he wanted her to die, he would not let her suffer any harm, just like how he treated her sisters. However, did she not have the same thoughts as him? He did not want her to be hurt, but did she want him to be hurt?
"Farewell, Chu Rui!"
This was the second time she had called him by his name. Everyone had a possessive desire, regardless of whether they were men or women. However, some men were too outstanding, too dazzling, and too fickle in love. They did not know how to reject, so there were many women by his side. Even though she could not have him all to herself, she still wanted to be the only one who called him by his name. This was how she felt as a daughter.
Except for the first time when she could not help but call him by his name, she had always called him father. She liked this feeling, especially when he bullied her and she called him daddy. He always seemed very excited. However, she did not call him father now. She called him by his name. This was a farewell. She was saying goodbye to him as a lover.
"No!"
You Li-er read Chu Rui's eyes and understood his plan. However, how could Chu Rui not be the same? He understood You Li-er's eyes. With a turn of his mind, he knew this silly girl's plan. He was immediately shocked.
"Bang …"
Her bright eyes dimmed. In her pupils, his figure became a permanent imprint, engraved in those pitch-black pupils. Her delicate body no longer had the support of life, and she had no strength left. She slowly collapsed. No matter how You Ming anxiously used all his means to save her, it was useless. Opposite her, the man she had sacrificed her life for, was like a stone, not moving at all. However, his eyes had unknowingly become bloodshot. His pupils were filled with ferocious murderous intent and violent anger!
