Gu Shengxiao fell silent when he heard Xiao Ye"s name. He tried to open his mouth but did not know how to explain this to his little sister. Hence, he had been unable to speak in the end.His silence caused the smile on Gu Ruoyun"s face to disappear as a bad feeling rose from the pit of her stomach.
"Has... Something happened to Xiao Ye?"
She clenched her fists in a tight grip as she fixed her gaze upon Gu Shengxiao"s silver mask and spoke in a solemn voice.
"Little Sister." Gu Shengxiao"s voice was hoa.r.s.e and mixed with an apologetic tone, "Qianbei Ye, he... He is now trapped in the Dark Earth Realm because he had saved me! There was a powerful Three-Headed h.e.l.l Dragon in the Dark Earth Realm so I..."
"The Dark Earth Realm, where is this place?"
Gu Ruoyun furrowed her brows. She has lived through two lives yet she has never heard of this place.
"The Dark Earth Realm is commonly known as h.e.l.l." Gu Shengxiao glanced at Gu Ruoyun and clearly spotted the great change in the woman"s face when she heard his explanation. He pursed his lips as he continued, "This place does not intersect with the mainland at all. Besides, anyone who enters the Dark Earth Realm has never been able to escape."
Boom!
Those words struck like thunder from a clear sky and Gu Ruoyun"s body trembled. Her beautiful features turned very pale and a sense of determination flashed in her delicate features.
"How had he managed to enter the Dark Earth Realm?"
Gu Shengxiao laughed bitterly. "Not many people are aware of the Dark Earth Realm"s location but I had accidentally stumbled upon some information and found out that I could turn my half-puppet self back into a human. I had then immediately journeyed to the Dark Earth Realm. Unfortunately, I thought that I could sneak into the Dark Earth Realm but the Three-Headed h.e.l.l Dragon had caught me."
"The Three-Headed h.e.l.l Dragon is the guardian spiritual beast of the Dark Earth Realm and his power is incomparably great. Forget about me, not even Qianbei Ye could stand a chance against him. In exchange for my freedom, he had voluntarily stayed behind. The only thing is, I heard the Three-Headed h.e.l.l Dragon mention that Qianbei Ye seems to have countless enemies in the Dark Earth Realm. I"m afraid that everything about his entry into the Dark Earth Realm points to disaster."
Gu Ruoyun"s pale features turned extremely solemn. She then became very quiet before saying, "Since both of you had managed to enter the Dark Earth Realm once, I can go too! Big Brother, wait for me here, I will go to the Dark Earth Realm to save Xiao Ye."
"Little Sister." Hearing this, Gu Shengxiao quickly put his hand on Gu Ruoyun"s shoulder as his grim eyes displayed a sense of anxiety, "You must consider this very carefully. Based on your level of power, you can"t defeat the Three-Headed h.e.l.l Dragon. Even if you do go, you might end up trapped in his claws."
In the beginning, Gu Shengxiao had come to Gu Ruoyun because he understood that she was the only one in this world who could save Qianbei Ye! Regardless, this woman was still his little sister so how could he not worry about her safety?
Gu Shengxiao was now filled with regret!
He regretted coming to see Gu Ruoyun and should have used his own abilities to return to the Dark Earth Realm!
"No matter the dangers in the Dark Earth Realm, I must go!"
Because her lover, whom she wants to protect for the rest of her life, was in that place.
Gu Ruoyun"s eyes were filled with an unprecedented determination and Gu Shengxiao slowly pulled his hand on her shoulder away.
"Little Sister, since you want to make the trip to the Dark Earth Realm, I"m coming with you." Gu Shengxiao smiled and his handsome face behind the mask glowed with determination, "Qianbei Ye had fallen into the Three-Headed h.e.l.l Dragon"s claws because of me so I can"t just ignore this! Besides, you are my only sister, I can"t let you take this risk alone!"
