"So you don't want to know what the consequences will be?"
"...What consequences?"
"After you return from the Netherworld, whether you save her or not, you'll only have five years left to live. That's the consequence of using the Forbidden Technique; and after you die, you won't have a chance to be reincarnated, but will stay in the Netherworld as a lonely ghost, never entering the cycle of rebirth again. That's the price you pay for saving her..."
At that moment, Gu Sheng's ears echoed with those words...
Five years... Five years...
It had already been three years...
Gu Sheng's eyes reddened, instantly engulfed by despair.
He was not afraid of dying, nor did he look forward to another life. The only thing he had ever feared was Yaoyao leaving him.
"Shangguan Yu..."
"Shangguan Yu..."
Gu Yao, leaning on his shoulder and asleep, suddenly started mumbling Shangguan Yu's name in her sleep.
Her voice carried a tinge of reluctant sobbing.
