Chapter 53

Chapter 53: You Injured Your Demon Core? Xiaoyao rushed into Xiangliu's arms, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face. What on earth had happened? Just a few days apart, and he had been reduced to this state? Catching him off guard, she yanked fiercely at the fabric across his chest, revealing a startling, terrifying black hole. Though it was not bleeding, it was clearly evident that he had used his spiritual power to forcibly seal it. Xiaoyao raised her tear-blurred eyes to stare straight into his gaze. This was the lingering illness she had never been able to diagnose—thirty-seven years of carving his heart and drawing his blood. Mighty Great Demon though he was, he had ultimately left behind an incurable root of disaster. She wanted to bury herself in his arms and weep loudly, but she did not. Biting her unceasingly trembling lips, she pulled up his arm and pressed her fingers to his pulse. Yet she failed to hold back her tears, which fell one after another onto his wrist. Xiangliu opened his mouth to comfort her, but she pressed down on his arm, stared into his eyes, and shook her head.
