The Living Path, the Dead Path (3)

"Click-clack..."

Ye Lang heard that some mechanism inside had been triggered, and at the same time, Ye Lang felt the ground shaking slightly. This was the reason why the triggering of the gate mechanism caused the vibration in the vicinity.

"Why won't you listen to me?!" Zhao Yarou said angrily to Ye Lang.

"What good will it do to listen to you? Are you sure you're right?" Ye Lang replied indifferently, clearly not caring about Zhao Yarou's anger and ignoring her as always.

"Even if I'm wrong, can't you listen to me just this once?" Zhao Yarou's words confused Li Yue, Ye Lang was even more bewildered.

"You're wrong. Why should I listen to you? Are you out of your mind?" Ye Lang asked Zhao Yarou with a puzzled look.

"Yes! My brain is broken, otherwise why would I do such a perverted thing? I am a pervert, I like to do wrong things! I want to walk the dead end!!" Zhao Yarou pressed down on the dead end.

"Damn it, are you crazy?!" Ye Lang shouted.

"I am sick, do you have the cure?" Zhao Yarou replied coldly.

How much do you want?

How many do you have?

"As many as you want, I'll have them all!"

"I want as much as you have!!"

This conversation sounds so familiar...

"Ah..."

Before Ye Lang could settle accounts with Zhao Yarou, something happened to Li Yue. She let out a scream, and when Ye Lang and Zhao Yarou looked over, they found that Li Yue had disappeared.

At the same time, a large pit appeared where Li Yue was, clearly indicating that a dead end had appeared.

"Li Yue!!"

Ye Lang and Zhao Yarou exclaimed in surprise at the same time. At that moment, Ye Lang rushed over and jumped down without thinking.

"You love her that much that you'd risk your life for her?" Zhao Yarou never expected Ye Lang to do such a thing. He didn't even know what was happening below, yet he jumped down like that.

In fact, Zhao Yarou did not know that Ye Lang jumped down directly not just for Li Yue, but mainly for the Heavenly Mechanism Armor on Li Yue's body.

At this moment, Zhao Yarou did something that surprised everyone. If the ministers of the Soaring Sky Empire were here at this time, they would definitely be stunned by this scene.

Zhao Yarou followed Ye Lang and jumped down as well. She knew it was a trap, but she still jumped in.

This is puzzling. Zhao Yarou isn't without options. If she just waits here, someone will come to her rescue. Meanwhile, neither Ye Lang nor Li Yue seems capable of making her risk her life to jump down.

She killed her own father, so why would she care about the lives of others?

This jump can only be explained as unbelievable. She is indeed abnormal to an unbelievable degree, not even caring about her own life.

"Ford Fox..."

Li Yue fell into a pool of water. The huge impact almost broke her body apart, and weakened, she was unable to float to the surface for a while, and could only slowly sink.

At that moment, Li Yue felt her world become very quiet, and she didn't fight or struggle!

At that moment, she didn't feel like she was going to die. For some reason, she felt Ye Lang would come down to save her, and he didn't disappoint her. She saw Ye Lang slowly approaching her, picking her up, and lifting her up...

"Li Yue, are you alright?" Ye Lang asked anxiously.

"It's nothing!" Li Yue shook her head and replied with a smile.

"Damn it! What are you doing down here?!" At this moment, Ye Lang saw a figure fall into the water, and this person was none other than Zhao Yarou.

"I like it, is it any of your business?" Zhao Yarou looked at Ye Lang, then at Li Yue in Ye Lang, and said coldly.

"Your Majesty..." Li Yue looked at Zhao Yarou in surprise.

"Well, since we're already down here, there's no other way. Let's see what other way out we can find." Ye Lang looked at the closed "entrance" above him and realized he had no choice but to look for another path.

"No Exit!"

"The water is rising!"

This is a conclusion that Ye Lang and Zhao Yarou have reached. They have already investigated the surrounding area and found that it is a rectangular sealed chamber, and water is being poured into it through small holes.

This small hole is obviously too small to fit a person; even a hand would be difficult to fit through!

"Just as I thought, this is a dead end! Zhao Yarou, now you understand, right? You chose this dead end." Ye Lang said calmly, his brows slightly furrowed as he continued to ponder.

"I like this dead end. At least we can die together. If I had to choose again, I would definitely choose this path," Zhao Yarou said coldly.

"You really are a pervert. If you like dying, then die by yourself. Why drag others into it?" Ye Lang retorted.

"It's no fun for one person to die alone; it's more fun to have you with me!" Zhao Yarou said coldly as always.

"I can't be bothered with you! Come closer!" Ye Lang took out a wooden bucket, turned it upside down, and placed it on the water's surface. This was to use the wood as an air bladder to retain air inside, so that he could at least live a little longer.

Zhao Yarou and Li Yue understood this immediately, but would it be of any use at this point?

Zhao Yarou bluntly replied, "What's the point? At most, it just means you can live a little longer, but you'll still die eventually!"

"Then don't come. You can just die out there!" Ye Lang said indifferently. Zhao Yarou's life or death was indeed of no importance to him.

Furthermore, Ye Lang hopes that the scales might tip slightly in favor of Zhao Yarou's death!

"Hmph, so be it if I die out there!" Zhao Yarou sneered, not approaching Ye Lang; she seemed angry.

"That would be best!" Ye Lang said.

Then, the water level slowly rose, submerging the entire rectangular chamber. Ye Lang and the other two clung to the ceiling until they were completely submerged before sinking. At that moment, Zhao Yarou gave Ye Lang a cold look before sinking into the water.

Ye Lang and Li Yue crawled into the wooden tub and began to breathe air again.

"Ford Fox, are you really not going to care about the Emperor?" Li Yue asked, though she was just asking, since she felt that staying inside would only prolong her life.

"Why should we care about her? If she wants to die, let her die. Nobody's stopping her," Ye Lang said coldly.

"I don't understand why the Emperor came down here. Knowing that it's a life-or-death situation down there, is it necessary for her to take the risk?" Li Yue couldn't understand this, and at the same time, her gaze towards Ye Lang held a hint of affection.

Since she knew this place was a place where she had a slim chance of survival, and now she was about to die, how could she not be moved by Ye Lang, the person who jumped down to be with her?

"I don't know either. She's not mentally sound, so it's not surprising that she does some weird things," Ye Lang said, shaking his head.
