Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1561: Chapter 1541: A Ray of Hope in Dire Straits

”No, the heart is about to stop.” Mo was also anxiously pacing around, and he directly took out the poison, secretly making up his mind: ”Damn it, I’m going all out.” Using poison to fight poison, Luo Qianqian’s heart-wrenching cries were too much for him to bear.

If Luo Qianqian dies... there would likely be big trouble.

”...Brother, I beg you, I’ll listen to you from now on, okay?” Luo Qianqian, choking with sobs and tears blurred, didn’t even bother to wipe them away. Blood and snot were running into her mouth, but she dared not stop: ”I don’t want the Nine Heavens Pavilion. Let’s go back to find Dad, live a stable life, okay? There’s our Shangqi Club, our childhood and youth, brother... please...”

”Mo, there’s another way.” Yan looked at Luo Qianqian’s frail and helpless back and ultimately sighed, speaking slowly.

Mo’s body paused.

”Gu, right?” Mo said in a low voice.

He knew this method too, but if it meant letting Luo Shufan live by someone else’s will, the thing they would need to use was something that put them both in a difficult position.

They even carried this thing with them, but it could only be used by a blood relative, and here, only Luo Qianqian was present.

They believed that, with the same blood flowing through their bodies, these two would never reach a never die never rest situation, but...

”What way do you have?” Luo Qianqian stopped crying, wiped her face with her hand, but her choking sobs couldn’t be stopped for a while. Her face, in the eyes of outsiders, was already terrifying, covered in blood, even her eyes were blood-red, full of a bloody aura: ”No matter what method, I hope you can save my brother. I am willing to be your servant in return.”

”Mo and I have a pair of life-linking Gu in our bodies; if either of us dies, the other will not live alone, and from then on, when one is injured, the other’s body will also feel it.”

Yan slowly said: ”Since the moment of our birth, the Gu were nurtured in our hearts by our family. Now that we’ve passed our twenties, the next pair of Golden Gu have already been nurtured, but you must know that this thing will remain in your heart and never leave. If one dies, the other will not live alone.”

”I don’t mind, I’m willing.” Luo Qianqian nodded repeatedly without a second thought, as long as her brother could live, she feared nothing.

”Actually, this...”

”Brother, stop with the ’actually,’ just bring it out.” Yan wanted to say something but was directly interrupted by Mo, whose face was full of anxiety: ”Luo Shufan can’t wait any longer!”

Yan gave Mo a deep look and took off the pendant that had always been hanging around his neck, opened it, and revealed the two Gu insects inside, one slightly larger and one slightly smaller, both golden throughout. The only difference was a black and a white mole at the center of their foreheads.

”This white one is the mother Gu. I need to make an incision in your chest to put it in. The child Gu can be placed on his wound at random.”

Yan showed Luo Qianqian the slightly larger Gu insect with a white spot on its forehead that looked somewhat like a plump little bean.

Luo Qianqian resolutely nodded, climbed onto the bed, lay down beside Luo Shufan, and tightly held his hand: ”Brother, you must live; I can’t be without you.”

Saying this, she directly undid the collar of her clothes with her other hand, revealing her heart’s position and part of a small yet proudly erect and full bosom.

Mo took the necklace, looked at Luo Shufan, and lightly sighed, unsure of what to say.

”Shiqi, I hope you won’t regret it.” Mo watched Yan’s actions without shifting his gaze.

”For my brother, I have no regrets.” Luo Qianqian tugged her lips into a smile and closed her eyes.

Yan took out the Dagger and unceremoniously stabbed it into Luo Qianqian’s chest, placed the Gu inside, then used the Silver Needle to stop the bleeding, while Mo simultaneously put the Gu he held into Luo Shufan’s body.

Though this was a tradition of the Sun and Moon Clan, it might just be Luo Qianqian and Luo Shufan’s only way out at this moment.

Luo Shufan was shattered to pieces, making it nearly impossible for him to recover on his own, but Luo Qianqian’s water attribute had a nurturing effect. It might just help him recover.

Looking at Luo Qianqian, silent and pale-faced, Yan sighed, took out a golden elixir, and when he took it out, the entire room was filled with the fragrance of medicine.

”Brother, this...”

”Does it even matter now?” Yan calmly interrupted Mo, stuffing the Pills into Luo Qianqian’s mouth.

Luo Qianqian only felt an itch in her chest, but the whole body was in excruciating pain; soon, the wound on her chest healed, but the physical pain did not diminish at all.

”It hurts...” Luo Qianqian weakly hummed.

”If it hurts, it means the Gu has taken root.” Yan calmly looked at Luo Qianqian: ”The injuries in your body have already been healed; the rest should be the ones in your brother’s body.”

Luo Qianqian’s face was full of joy, but she quickly looked at Yan: ”Then why didn’t you give the elixir to my brother just now? Wouldn’t it also...”

”Do you think just anyone can use this elixir? Do you know the price you paid for the Golden Gu?” Yan looked at the bloodstains on Luo Qianqian’s face, his expression gaining a bit more coldness: ”I hope you prepare in advance to choose your Dao partner between me and Mo.”

Saying this, he turned and left. Others outside didn’t dare to come in there, even if they were anxious, and could only be happy on their own without knowing what had happened inside, or what price had been paid for it.

”What, what do you mean?” Luo Qianqian was a bit at a loss.

Mo sighed and smiled bitterly: ”Golden Gu can only be given to the direct lineage heirs of our two clans. Since you used it, it means you are now one of our clanspeople, and between our two clans, it’s only the two of us left. Do you understand? As for that Golden Core? That’s something passed down from Yan’s line and can only be used by the direct lineage. If he hadn’t given it to you, you would still have about eighty-one days to adapt to the Golden Gu.”

Listening to Mo’s words, Luo Qianqian’s eyes were pitch black.

So, after Grandpa found her a fiancé, she had sold herself? And the kind she willingly agreed to?

After all, compared to her brother’s life, who she ended up with seemed irrelevant.

Her hand touched the necklace around her neck.

Only, she hadn’t expected to let down Tianyi once again.

”I will consider it carefully, and I hope you won’t dislike me.” Luo Qianqian tugged her lips into a smile, looked at Luo Shufan, her expression tender: ”As long as my brother is okay, I’m willing to do anything.”

Outside, upon hearing that Luo Shufan’s life was saved, everyone breathed a sigh of relief but, blocked by Yan, dared not enter the room, only rejoicing among themselves. They had no idea what had happened inside or what price had been paid.

Her fingers tightly grasped Luo Shufan’s hand: ”Brother, get better soon.”
