Bab 749: Exterminating The Immortal Realm (10)

The youth's distressed and bitter smile caused Gu Ruoyun's heard to ache. She raised her arm and pulled the slim and delicate youth into a tight embrace. She placed her head on his shoulders and did not say a word.

When he felt a cold sensation on his shoulder, Xia Linyu's heart shook. He gently murmured, "Sister... Are you crying?"

"I'm sorry," Gu Ruoyun held onto the youth tightly, "I wasn't able to protect you."

"Sister," Xia Linyu smiled and looked joyful, setting off the emotions he felt in his heart, "It's only an arm. I may have lost an arm but I can still fight for you. Besides, now... I'm finally no longer a burden to you. I'm truly happy. Happier than I've ever felt when I discovered that I've come back to life."

Gu Shengxiao stood behind the two and frowned as he overheard their conversation.

However, he assumed that the youth was referring to his narrow escape from death as 'coming back to life', so he did not think too much of it.
