Chapter 259: I Won’t Leave You Alone (2)_1
"I’ve said before, my first kiss was for you, so you need to take responsibility for me. Since you’re mine and I’m yours, of course I can’t just leave you here alone. If something happened to you, who would be responsible for me?" Zi Xiao said.
Dugu Qianye was left speechless by his words.
After having taken an elixir and rested in his arms for a while, she could now barely manage to fight. She manifested a longsword with her spiritual power, left his embrace, and said, "Then let’s fight together."
The moment Dugu Qianye left, he felt a hollow feeling in his heart, but her words made him happy again. Although he really wanted her to be under his protection, he knew she wasn’t a woman who liked to hide behind others. As long as she was willing to let him stay by her side, fighting shoulder to shoulder was also good.
He took out an elixir and swallowed it, then he started to fight back-to-back with Dugu Qianye. Even if injured, they were determined to sever the heads of spiritual beasts!
Perhaps their reckless fighting style was too frenzied, for even the irrational spiritual beasts felt fear, retreating one by one, leaving behind those that were dead or too injured to move lying on the ground.
Dugu Qianye’s clothes were soaked through with blood, some her own, some that of the spiritual beasts, sopping wet enough to wring out. Seeing the spiritual beasts withdraw, she took a few steps and suddenly fell to one knee, the sword in her hand dissipating into spiritual energy as she collapsed toward the ground. Before she could touch the ground, a pair of hands caught her.
The person was not very familiar, but the scent was incredibly familiar. This was Dugu Qianye’s last thought before she lost consciousness.
