Chapter 1084 1082: Tears of Blood
Lou Xiuying's face turned deathly pale.
She was never a chaste woman to begin with.
It was only after meeting the Old Master that she decided to change her ways and start anew.
Someone like her could never resist the power of Heaven.
"Zhengguo, I will not fail you!" A look of determination appeared on Lou Xiuying's face.
Suddenly, she violently pushed Yang Yuan aside and rushed toward the window.
Bang!
A dull thud came from downstairs.
Yang Yuan was stunned.
He never thought Lou Xiuying would die for her honor!
If it were any other woman, Yang Yuan might have expected it.
But Lou Xiuying? Never.
Who was Lou Xiuying?
How could she do such a thing?
Yang Yuan stared blankly at the enchanting figure below.
The building wasn't high, about three stories.
For someone as strong as Su Chen.
It was as flat as the ground.
But for an ordinary person.
It was far too high.
This scene was seen by Tang Zhengguo, who came to consult Lou Xiuying.
Tang Zhengguo was stunned.
He went mad and rushed toward Lou Xiuying.
Lou Xiuying wasn't dead yet.
She lay in a pool of blood.
Breathing her last.
"No!"
Tang Zhengguo knelt in front of Lou Xiuying, howling at the sky.
Lou Xiuying weakly reached out, caressing Tang Zhengguo's cheek, "Zhengguo... don't be sad. I, Lou Xiuying, died ten years ago. Meeting you was like living again, though briefly, it was the happiest time of my life... cough, cough..."
Lou Xiuying kept coughing up fresh blood.
Falling from a height of over ten meters caused her severe injuries.
Don't be sad? How could he not be sad?
Since his old partner passed away over twenty years ago, Tang Zhengguo's health declined year by year.
He never thought at his old age, he could have such a profound and unforgettable late-life romance.
Surpassing friendship, surpassing kinship.
That feeling was like a first love.
Purely believing that holding hands meant a lifetime...
"No, I don't want you to die! Xiuying, you can't die. What will I do if you die?" Tang Zhengguo, driven by anger, spat out a mouthful of blood.
"I was wondering why a woman like her would rather jump off a building, turns out it's the toxin of love. Ridiculous, truly ridiculous. The age gap between you two, she could be your granddaughter, couldn't she?" Yang Yuan descended the stairs.
He finally understood why Lou Xiuying acted so unusually.
She fell in love with Tang Zhengguo.
How amusing.
One is a righteous, incorruptible iron-blooded warrior.
The other, an enchantress.
How could these two possibly be connected?
Yet, no matter how much Yang Yuan didn't believe it.
The truth was right there before him.
"Yang Yuan, save her!" Tang Zhengguo roared at Yang Yuan.
"Save her? Why should I save her? Give me a reason. Besides, you should know who she is. She is Lou Xiuying, the infamous fox spirit. Her death is ridding the world of a great evil," Yang Yuan said with hands clasped behind his back, smiling.
"Yang Yuan, I beg you, please save Xiuying!" Tang Zhengguo knew.
The only person who could save Lou Xiuying now was Yang Yuan.
"You're begging me? Well, then I'll consider it." Yang Yuan was delighted.
It was the first time he'd seen Tang Zhengguo plead with him.
"Hmm, here's the deal, kneel down and kowtow three times, and I'll save her."
Kowtow three times!
They say a man's knees are where gold resides.
Moreover, Yang Yuan had always been Tang Zhengguo's archrival.
The old General, throughout his lifetime, in the army.
Had never knelt, not even to the heavens, except to his parents.
"No, Zhengguo, you mustn't kneel. If you kneel, I, Lou Xiuying, will sever all ties with you!" Lou Xiuying said with difficulty.
Recently, Lou Xiuying had gained a deep understanding of Tang Zhengguo.
Knew what kind of person Tang Zhengguo was.
He was once a warrior whose roar could terrify the little Dongyin devils.
Yet now, for her, he was about to kneel to his enemy.
She couldn't allow it.
She would rather die than let Tang Zhengguo suffer such humiliation.
Tang Zhengguo gazed at the dying Lou Xiuying.
He gently caressed Lou Xiuying's enchanting yet bloodied face.
Tenderly said, "Xiuying, in my lifetime, I've done earth-shattering things. On the battlefield, I even ate decayed bird carcasses when there was nothing to eat. It's just kneeling; it's no big deal."
"No, Zhengguo, I beg you not to..." Lou Xiuying wanted to stop him.
But she no longer had the strength.
Tang Zhengguo stood up, looked at Yang Yuan, and said word by word, "In all my life, I never kneeled to anyone but my parents. Yang Yuan, if you don't keep your promise, I'll haunt you even as a ghost."
"Then let's talk when you become a ghost!" Yang Yuan coldly sneered inside.
Initially, he didn't know how to deal with Tang Zhengguo.
But unexpectedly.
Tang Zhengguo fell in love with Lou Xiuying.
This was excellent news.
To deal with Tang Zhengguo, one only had to deal with Lou Xiuying.
Save Lou Xiuying?
Of course, Yang Yuan wanted to save her.
Originally, he couldn't bear to let Lou Xiuying die.
Now, all the more he couldn't bear it.
He intended to use Lou Xiuying well.
The saying goes, "It's better to break a man's spirit than kill him."
To make Tang Zhengguo suffer was far more satisfying than just killing him.
Moreover, he wasn't only targeting Tang Zhengguo now.
Tang Zhengguo was only an old man.
His true target was still Tang Yi.
The woman who crippled his son.
It was that woman who ended the Yang Family's lineage.
Since Tang Yi ended the Yang bloodline.
Tang Zhengguo trembled slightly.
Though he was willing to kneel for Lou Xiuying's sake.
When the moment came, he still found it difficult to accept.
However, if he didn't kneel, Lou Xiuying would die.
Tang Zhengguo slowly knelt down.
Seeing this, a victorious smile appeared on Yang Yuan's lips.
Tang Zhengguo, you've been at odds with me your whole life, yet today you're kneeling before me.
And today marks the beginning of your nightmare!
Seeing that Tang Zhengguo was truly about to kneel.
Tears blurred Lou Xiuying's eyes.
Blood-red tears!
