Chapter 1138

"I quite like this look in your eyes."

The moment the hatred in Southern Murong Qiudi's eyes turned into fear.

The extreme contrast.

Provoked an extreme sense of perverse pleasure.

Gu Hanyuan raised his arm slightly.

Southern Murong Qiudi's dainty feet instantly left the ground.

A sense of weightlessness washed over her.

As the saying goes, one only feels secure when their feet are on solid ground.

Southern Murong Qiudi's heart grew increasingly panicked.

Her control over her body became weaker and weaker.

Her neck was being gripped tighter and tighter.

She could no longer make a sound.

Only a pitiful, pleading look remained in her beautiful eyes.

Yet, the deep, dark eyes of Gu Hanyuan before her remained indifferent.

He was not moved in the slightest.

Seeing this, Southern Murong Qiudi gradually began to despair.

Her breathing became increasingly difficult.

The scenery in her eyes became increasingly blurred.

Everything from her past flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern.

Her life as a sheltered young lady had been extremely dull.

Every day, she looked forward most to news that Xie Xiaofeng had once again defeated some well-known swordsman.

Each time, it made her yearn and rejoice.

When they finally met in person.

Xie Xiaofeng had also responded to her expectations.

His appearance, his martial arts, his literary talent.

All made her feel shy and happy.

When Xie Xiaofeng wanted to elope with her.

Southern Murong Qiudi was even more ecstatic.

The Southern Murong family of Seven Star Pond and her father, Southern Murong Wudi, were all cast to the back of her mind.

As for her fiancé, Mao Yiling, she had never even thought of him.

A young lady's reserve kept her from agreeing directly.

But that heart of "refusing while welcoming" had never been hidden.

Just when she thought she was about to elope with her beloved.

And live a life that was unblessed but happy.

A man appeared who was younger, more handsome, and possessed even higher martial arts than Xie Xiaofeng.

He transformed into a terrifying demon.

And casually beat the high-and-mighty Xie Xiaofeng into the mud.

Life and death were both in a single thought of Gu Hanyuan.

And her own life was also being held in Gu Hanyuan's hand.

The handsome face before her remained as cold as ever.

The final thought flashed through her mind.

"He really did look better with that gentle smile from before."

Unfortunately, this regretful thought only existed for an instant.

Southern Murong Qiudi's consciousness gradually grew hazy.

Her hands subconsciously patted Gu Hanyuan's arm.

The scent of death filled her mind.

Her jade-like legs could no longer exert any strength.

A "drip-drip" sound came.

Southern Murong Qiudi suddenly felt the hand gripping her neck lighten.

She fell to the ground uncontrollably.

An instinctive desire to survive.

Caused the escaped Southern Murong Qiudi to gasp for air, disregarding her image.

The experience of surviving a brush with death.

Actually made her subconsciously feel a trace of gratitude toward Gu Hanyuan.

Just as she was still feeling lingering fear.

She heard Gu Hanyuan's voice of disdain.

Tearing the trace of gratitude that had risen in her heart to shreds.

"Tsk, Miss Southern Murong's means of survival are truly superb. Gu Mou admires them."

Even though Southern Murong Qiudi was still seeing stars and felt weak all over.

Her heart was filled with shame and anger.

But hearing Gu Hanyuan treat her uncontrollable behavior as a means of survival.

An intense sense of humiliation caused her to look up in anger and glare at Gu Hanyuan.

"You're talking nonsense!"

Gu Hanyuan's look of disdain made her feel even more embarrassed.

She felt as if she had lost all face.

What young lady of the Seven Star Pond Southern Murong family.

What top beauty of the Ming Guo Wu Lin.

Everything was destroyed at this moment.

Southern Murong Qiudi still wanted to defend herself.

But when she saw Gu Hanyuan's cold gaze.

A phantom pain shot through her neck.

Her breathing seemed to become difficult again.

She immediately dodged his gaze, not daring to make a sound.

Seeing this, Gu Hanyuan.

Felt the playfulness in his eyes grow even more intense.

He still said with an indifferent face:

"Since Miss Southern Murong has gone this far, Gu Mou can overlook your offense. But Xie Xiaofeng's life must still be taken."

As he spoke, he raised the Dragon-Slaying Sword once more.

Seeing this, Southern Murong Qiudi.

No longer cared about losing face or not.

Even the fear she had felt before was forcibly suppressed.

She hurriedly hugged Gu Hanyuan's thigh.

Pleading bitterly:

"I beg you! Don't kill him!"

Southern Murong Qiudi pleaded using that pitiful, weak appearance.

There are probably few men in the world who could refuse.

Unfortunately, Gu Hanyuan remained unmoved.

He even stepped back two paces in disdain.

Mockingly saying:

"On what grounds? Since you wanted to kill to silence me, you should have the awareness of being killed in return."
