Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1224: Chapter 1223: You Have the Resolve to Die

”I’m not scared, nor am I afraid!”

Xia Xi’s expression was firm, as if this was something she had long decided. Her aura was naturally composed, and her determination was beyond doubt.

Gu Tong’s eyes were full of amusement, her lips curled with a smile as she said, ”Since you’re so determined to face death, I’m relieved.”

”...” What does ’determined to face death’ mean? If you can’t speak properly, just don’t. Geez, don’t you know what time it is? It’s not a good omen.

Xia Xi’s mind was filled with thoughts, with so much she wanted to rant about.

However, she didn’t utter a word, because just as she was about to speak, her pupils widened in shock, even contracting instantly.

Gu Tong raised her fair little hand, her fingers hooked on the stroke of the word ’Death’, barely applying any force, just a slight movement.

’Kachak--’

The stroke of the word ’Death’ moved, as if a doorknob had been turned.

”You! You! What are you doing!!!” Xia Xi’s eyes nearly popped out, and she instinctively jumped to the side of ’Life’, simultaneously hooking onto the stroke of the word ’Life’.

Gu Tong raised an eyebrow, speaking calmly, ”Opening the door!”

”...” Duh, of course she knew you were opening the door!

She just wanted to know how one could just open the door without any warning.

Her heart almost jumped out of her chest, seriously!

Gu Tong lazily yawned, saying, ”My little Xia Xi, weren’t you unafraid and fearless~”

”...” Not being afraid and fearless doesn’t mean not being scared of surprises!

Saying you’re not afraid of ghosts doesn’t mean you should be thrown into a haunted house, isn’t that going too far!

Xia Xi nearly burst into tears, saying, ”You don’t love your cutie anymore, not caring for me at all. We’re about to part ways, not even a kiss, and still scaring my little heart. My poor heart is pounding.”

Gu Tong glanced at her, speaking flatly, ”If your heart isn’t pounding, then you’re dead.”

”...” Oh, got it!

Not caring about me is one thing, but bullying me too? You’re so bad, I’m going to hit you.

Sniff sniff...

Xia Xi was on the verge of tears, glaring at this heartless person, eyes full of grievance, ready to bite.

Gu Tong completely ignored her reaction, maintaining a poker face as she said, ”The Gate of Life and Death needs to be pulled together. I’ll count to three, and we go in together.”

”...” This woman has no heart, right!

Just leaving like that! Not even a few comforting words.

Xia Xi pouted, with an attitude of ’if you don’t coax me, I’m not opening the door’.

”One!”

Dammit! I’m about to explode.

”Two!”

Jerk! Do you have to be so harsh...

”Three!”

Gu Tong finished speaking.

Two clicks echoed in the tomb, the Gate of Life and Death opened simultaneously, and Gu Tong and Xia Xi each went through their respective openings.

’Bang--’

The Gate of Life and Death closed automatically, requiring no human effort.

...

Xia Xi’s mouth twitched a few times as she entered the Life Gate, only to feel that the future was pitch black.

She never dreamed that that bastard Xue Tong would suddenly shout one, two, three without any warning, not even a single extra word...

Dammit, do you have to go that far...

Xia Xi was about to burst into tears again, and at the same time, her body grew weak, leaning against the Life Gate.

...

Xue Tong held onto the stroke of the ’Death’ door, with a cold demeanor as she said, ”The treasure isn’t more important than you. In critical moments, safety comes first! I don’t want to lose another companion, or see important people die in front of me again.”
