Chapter 1364: Never Alone
Lory remained silent for a long time after hearing everything Zhao Li Xin said. In the end, she could only accept the situation as it was; however, a pang of guilt slowly crept into her heart, and she couldn’t help but blame herself.
She should have known something was wrong with Girsha since he hadn’t called her in months, but Lory convinced herself that Girsha was just conserving his strength for something important to come up so he could summon her without problem.
She should have known that being the guardian of Oblivion was no easy task. Just look at what happened to Zian, an immortal who was specially chosen to be the ruler of Oblivion. Didn’t that place drive him crazy, so how could Girsha have a chance? Although Girsha was the First Kind, he was the youngest descendant of his kin, and his strength was not as strong as that of his predecessors, so how could he possibly guard all those world doors by himself?
It is a losing game from the get-go.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard Lory thought, he had to be slapped by the reality that he had no way out of this situation. Embarrassed after talking big about saving Girsha, Lory had to admit that he had no plan on how to free Girsha from that place.
As she was lost in thought, suddenly her hand was held and Lory raised her gaze. Her gaze met a pair of black eyes that stared at her intently and immediately her chaotic thoughts gradually cooled down.
Zhao Li Xin knelt on one knee in front of Lory, he looked at her tenderly: [Lory, I know this must be hard for you, but you have to remember you are not alone in this situation... don’t let fear cloud your mind, remember, I am always here and so are the others...]
Zhao Li Xin’s gentle voice was like a spring that filled the gaps in her heart as her emotions exploded uncontrollably. [Why does this always happen? I don’t want to lose Girsha or my brother... I don’t want to lose you or anyone else, but what can I do? Am I asking for too much?] she wearily said at the same time tears began to well up in the corners of her eyes.
Zhao Li Xin pulled her into his arms [No, not you!] he hugged her tightly and cried, Zhao Li Xin patted Lory’s back gently [You’re not asking for too much, and it’s not an impossible wish either. If we all work together, I’m sure we can save your brother and find a way to save Girsha, as for me, you know how hard it is to kill me, you won’t be able to get rid of me that easily....]
Lory put her arms around Zhao Li Xin’s back and hugged him tightly as if she was afraid that Zhao Li Xin would disappear at any moment [Promise...]
[I promise!] Zhao Li Xin answered firmly.
