Chapter 1204: Honor
Chen Ying’s heart lurched. It suddenly felt like she was treading on ice. She went up to Nine Frost and asked with a lightness she didn’t feel, “Why are you being so serious?”
Nine Frost was unusually calm. “I promised you that I would never hide my decisions from you, Chen Ying. I’m going to tell you everything. Listen to me until I’m finished.”
...
It took five minutes for Nine Frost to explain the second and third contingency plans. While invisible, Gao Yang remained on the side as a silent witness.
“No.” Chen Ying clenched her fists together with suppressed emotions, but her pale face betrayed her feelings. “I say no, Nine Frost.”
“Captain has given me the go-ahead,” Nine Frost said.
Chen Ying shuddered, her eyes brimming with stormy waves that raged ceaselessly yet uselessly. No matter how much it protested to the sky, the downpour and lightning weren’t going to stop for it.
After a silent beat, Chen Ying said in a low voice, “Is there...no other way?”
“There is no other way,” Nine Frost confirmed.
Tears streaked down from Chen Ying’s eyes. She wiped them away after a beat. “Alright. Have Dr. Jia prepare me a ring, too—”
“You can’t multitask like I do, and there’s no reason to make unnecessary sacrifices. Live. You’ll still be needed after the fight.”
