Chapter 1008: Chapter 1006: Forced Kiss
Thinking of her jumping into such a place desperately, Ah Jiuās face turned ashen, his gaze falling on the bloodstains near her neck, his face darkened.
Wufu sensed his anger, smiled, and said, "Iām fine, arenāt I?"
"This time was a fluke, what about next time? Wufu, life is the most precious and important thing, and everyone only has one. Didnāt you also say, in such a place, you can only rely on yourself, life and death blame no others, and when thereās danger, you must think of yourself first before anything else. How come in the end you..."
"Alright, alright!" Wufu pressed down his hand, saying, "I thought it through too, ensured I wouldnāt lose my life, otherwise, is one Master Gui worth me risking my life to protect?"
Ah Jiu glanced at her sideways, his eyes seemed to say, keep making up stories, in that situation, where did you have time to think?
Wufu rubbed her nose, "Alright. I really didnāt think that much, just thought he seemed a bit weak."
"He is the weak one?" Ah Jiu chuckled angrily.
Wufu said, "Isnāt it because he got a bit poisoned earlier? Ah Jiu, it was my idea to take the river route, which means I led you all into such a situation. I, I couldnāt just stand by and watch!"
Ah Jiuās expression changed slightly, "Life and death blame no others, everyone signed the Life and Death Book, what does it have to do with you?"
"I know, but in my heart, I canāt get over it!" Wufu lowered her eyes and said, "Ding Lai even lost half an arm."
Seeing her guilty expression, Ah Jiu said, "Wufu, your heart is still too soft. Being a guard, losing oneās life is a common thing, let alone losing a hand?"
Wufu forced a smile, "Weāve traveled this road together, havenāt we developed some affection?"
Ah Jiu couldnāt bear to chide her more and sighed, "You!" After a pause, he added, "Wufu, donāt do this again, protecting yourself is the most important."
"Didnāt you also jump down?" Wufu eyed him.
"If it werenāt for your silliness, would I have jumped down?" Ah Jiu snorted coldly.
Wufu planted a kiss on his cheek with a smack.
"What, what are you doing?" Ah Jiu blushed, touched his face, and stared.
Wufuās smile reached her eyes as she said, "Ah Jiu, Iām really happy!"
Happy you jumped down to fight alongside me, happy youāre thinking about me, caring about me.
"But you still canāt... mmph." Ah Jiuās words were cut off as his mouth was blocked.
Was he just kissed forcefully?
Too much bullying!
Heās the man after all!
Ah Jiu held her head, deepening the kiss defiantly, he couldnāt lose to a woman.
After a long pause, both of them somewhat breathless, released each other, looked at each other, and smiled.
Ah Jiu touched the corner of her mouth, "Wufu, promise me youāll protect yourself well, alright? You almost scared me to death with worry."
"Alright!"
"Also, donāt keep thinking itās your fault for bringing us into danger. Without you these past ten days, weād probably have suffered many losses already!" Ah Jiu said, "So, donāt feel guilty, you owe no one, you wrong no one!"
"I know." Wufu sighed, "I just donāt know whether we almost failed at the final step, the thought makes me so unwilling!"
They had already traced the pulse of Cloud Tower.
Ah Jiuās face was brooding, "Fortune favors the good, weāve reached this point, each one has to advance, if theyāre incapable... then itās just their fate."
Thatās all that can be said.
Rustling sounds.
"Whoās there!" Ah Jiuās sharp gaze darted around as he stood up swiftly in front of Wufu, warily eyeing the direction of the sound.
