Chapter 44 (2/2)

This deal was definitely a huge loss for her.

Feng Qingtian looked at Gu Bailu, only to discover that her face was pale. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her away.

Shao Di didn’t continue to chase them. His face darkened as he looked at them.

A woman in glamorous clothes suddenly appeared. “Are you letting her go just like that?”

“What else can I do? Even Yunjian cannot imprison her. I don’t want to fall out with Prince Zi just yet.”

The woman sighed. “You’ve been dedicated to your cultivation for so many years that I thought you had forgotten her.”

Gu Yunjing chuckled. “Have you heard of a sunk cost before? You pay such a great price to love someone. If you give up, all of it will have been for nothing, so you have to carry on.”

“That’s a stupid idea.”

“Experts are all lonely. If you aren’t a little bit stupid, you won’t have any friends.”

“In that case, you should stop her from meeting Prince Zi, preferably forever.”

“Hehe… You think I didn’t try? But I couldn’t stop them. However, I still have ways to prevent them from recognizing each other.”

…

Gu Bailu washed her face and took a deep breath in delight. “This is a beautiful world after all. Somebody came to save me.”

She drew close to Feng Qingtian. “Qingqing, why are you so nice to me? I’m falling in love with you.”

Feng Qingtian suddenly grabbed her neck. Smothered, Gu Bailu felt that death was right next to her.

“I can indulge you, but you better understand who you are. No fantasies.”

Gu Bailu was angry. What was this madness about?

“I like to have fantasies, so what?”

“I’ll kill you.” A terrible coldness flashed in Feng Qingtian’s eyes.
