Chapter 410 Song Liu's Identity!
wuhan's heart sank deeper with every word noah spoke. his mind struggled to process the scene before him, the dungeon's dim light casting haunting shadows on song liu's chained figure. he could feel the anger boiling inside him, but he tried to keep his composure.
"why? why is she chained?" wuhan's voice trembled with a mix of rage and despair. he started to feel suffocated like his chest was no longer wide enough to hold his heart.
noah took a deep breath, steadying himself before continuing. "when we reached the place, everyone else was unconscious, starting the initial stages of the curse, just as expected. but song liu... she was awake, meaning she was already past those stages."
wuhan's aura started to wane away under the burden of the cold hard truth. with a look of disbelief, wuhan turned around and glanced at song liu, who was still looking at noah, her eyes filled with uncertainty and wariness.
"but that is not all..." noah's voice was steady despite the pain. wuhan's expression changed drastically as he continued to listen to noah. song liu also looked at noah with a hint of disbelief, wondering who he was.
...
*bang!*
*krrrrr!*
"what did that kid do to make you like that?" ming ye asked with a light strained chuckle, looking at the woman standing before him.
ruo'er also looked a bit scared as she looked at xin yan standing in the middle of the room. she was more confused than scared. with her head lowered, xin yan stood rooted to the ground with her head lowered.
her dragon eyes reined with fury and darkness fixed at the cracks on the floor spreading like cobwebs underneath her feet.
noah, who seemed to be in some kind of daze, snapped out of it upon hearing wuhan's words. he was now back to his human form but there were still some traces of blood on his body.
"noah?" wuhan called him one more time.
after a moment of silence, noah nodded his head. "even though it is by a long shot, there might be a way."
"what way?" wuhan's eyes shone with hope hearing noah's words.
"it's not a way but a delay tactic." noah immediately poured cold water on wuhan's expectation. he did not want his friend to chase after some fake cure. "we will make her grow stronger. the stronger she gets, the more time we get to find her cure. who knows, at some point, her soul might get too strong for the curse and swallow it whole."
wuhan was left stunned by noah's idea. as crude as it sounded, there was not much he could do.
"before you make up your mind about anything, let me tell you something." wuhan wanted to speak up but noah interrupted him, "she is cursed." continue your journey with empire
"what are you getting at? i know that." wuhan asked with a confused look on his face.
"she is cursed. that means she has a target on her back, as do the others i have saved. in the eyes of the cult members, they are still cursed. they will continue to think so until they meet them face to face." wuhan instantly understood what noah wanted to convey.
"but when they come face to face with them, only little liu would be the one they would find cursed."
"yes, who knows what they would do to get her out of here. so i want you to think this through." said noah, looking deeply into wuhan's eyes. "are you sure you want her to go through this? after all, as you just told me, she is your aunt!"
