Even Though We've Never Met, You Still Can't Let Me Go

"Was it abandoned by yourself... is that it? That's why Di Tian and the others just watched..."

Su Ling's throat tightened, his chest felt suffocatingly painful, and he couldn't say anything.

"You... are... a god!" Di Tian said word by word, fine sweat droplets seeping out on his forehead, but he still stubbornly refused to move aside.

Although he had some understanding of the Law of Destruction, compared to the aura of destruction emanating from the man before him, it was like a firefly compared to the bright moon.

Only... a true god! could achieve this level.

"Alright, Di Tian, stop making trouble."

A woman in a green dress with an elegant demeanor stepped out of the void, quickly pulling Di Tian aside, and bowed apologetically to Su Ling, "Esteemed sir, Di Tian is impatient, please forgive him."

Su Ling did not reply, merely glanced coldly at the two, and was about to leave quickly.

"Wait! What did you give her?"

Di Tian, unable to rest assured about Gu Yuena, couldn't help but ask again.

Su Ling, without looking back, casually tossed an item towards Di Tian: "Soul Enlightenment Pill, it can repair the soul's origin and improve cultivation aptitude. If you don't believe me, try it yourself."

Di Tian took the pill and felt an incomparably pure energy aura wash over him.

After a brief scan, he was certain that this item had a miraculous restorative effect on the soul's origin.

But in reality, he wanted to know why his master's attitude towards this man was so special.

However, due to the increasingly dangerous aura of destruction emanating from Su Ling, he ultimately did not dare to press further.

Meanwhile, Gu Yuena inside the auction hall had been locked back into an iron cage.

When that destructive power surged, her hollow, numb purple eyes flickered almost imperceptibly.

This power... she was too familiar with it.

In her previous life, that young man had used this power to pierce her heart meridian with a single sword, shattering her godhead and causing her to die.

"Heh heh... so you already obtained the inheritance of destruction... so early..."

"Coming so close to me... was it also for some so-called God Trial?"

Gu Yuena curled up in the corner of the cage, her silver hair covering her pale face, tears silently falling.

"Bring this little bitch out! She's a high-class commodity now, she needs to be dressed up properly. We can't afford any carelessness for the auction in a few days!"

Tang Yuehua's finger precisely pointed at Gu Yuena, her mind already picturing the scene of everyone vying to bid.

She waved her hand, and several maids immediately stepped forward to open the iron cage, roughly dragging Gu Yuena out.

"Of course, if you don't want to be sold, you can also tell me the information about that man from before."

Tang Yuehua leaned down and whispered in Gu Yuena's ear, her fingertip playfully stroking the girl's chin, "For example, the source of his miraculous pills... or... his true identity..."

Even though her memory had been erased, Tang Yuehua still remembered the shock she felt when she first saw Su Ling's true face.

She clearly recognized that person, and he was exceptionally young.

Furthermore, although Su Ling tried his best to conceal it, she could still tell that he cared about this little girl, but for some reason, they couldn't acknowledge each other.

If the truth were revealed, she feared she would have nowhere to be buried... Thinking of this, Tang Yuehua couldn't help but tremble.

She steadied herself and continued to tempt her with a sweet voice: "As long as you cooperate obediently, I can not only help you get rid of your slave status, but I can also let you become a member of Moon Xuan Pavilion and enjoy the best treatment."

Gu Yuena slowly raised her head, her eyes suddenly becoming extremely fierce.

She suddenly bit down hard on Tang Yuehua's ear, unleashing all the anger and humiliation she had accumulated over the past few days, tearing with all her might!

"Ah--!" A piercing scream rang out. Tang Yuehua struggled desperately, trying to push Gu Yuena away, but the girl's teeth were like sharp blades, deeply embedded in flesh and blood.

Blood flowed continuously from her earlobe, dyeing Gu Yuena's pale lips red.

"Bitch! Let go of me!" Tang Yuehua's face contorted in pain. She raised her hand to slap Gu Yuena's face.

Just then, a maid not far away suddenly let out a terrified scream!

Black flames suddenly erupted from her body, piercing her skin and gushing out from her seven orifices!

The extreme heat instantly vaporized her blood, turning it into foul-smelling black smoke.

"Ah! No! Pavilion Master, save me!"

The maid rolled on the ground in agony, everything she touched turning to ash.

Anyone else who came into contact with it instantly turned into charcoal.

On the other hand, the maid, under the torment of the black flames, endured extreme pain as she slowly approached death--the flames were clearly like a cat playing with a mouse.

Tang Yuehua's hand froze in mid-air. She recognized the maid who had slapped Gu Yuena in front of Su Ling earlier.

But the intense pain in her ear immediately pulled her back to reality.

"Let go! You little beast! Otherwise, I'll make your life worse than death!"

Her voice trembled as she endured the excruciating pain and threatened.

She could feel that her ear bone had been bitten and shattered, as if with a little more force, her ear would be completely severed.

For her, beauty was more important than life itself.

Becoming a one-eared monster would be worse than death.

Gu Yuena released her mouth.

She stared blankly at the gradually dissipating pitch-black flames, tears blurring her vision once more.

Even though the flames' color was disguised, she was too familiar with the subtle life aura mixed within the destruction.

"Shengyan... is that you?" she murmured, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz.

Tang Yuehua stumbled back, clutching her bleeding ear, her eyes filled with malice and fear.

She pointed a trembling finger at Gu Yuena: "Throw her into the dungeon! Don't give her a drop of water or a grain of rice!"

As she was dragged away, a faint smile appeared on Gu Yuena's lips.

Because she knew that no matter what happened, that man had finally made a move.

Even if he pretended to be indifferent, even if they had never met in this life—he still couldn't ignore her.

After Su Ling left, he couldn't bear it and returned, torturing the maid who had abused Gu Yuena to death with black flames.

This was the limit of what he could do at the moment.

He couldn't directly rescue Gu Yuena, or his secret of rebirth might be exposed.

Recalling Gu Yuena's last smile, a chill still couldn't help but spread through his heart.

Su Ling found a corner, and after confirming that Di Tian and Bi Ji were not tracking him, he finally removed his disguise.

His strength seemed to be drained instantly. He stumbled, bracing himself against the wall to stand steadily.

The price of forcibly activating the Destruction God Armor was now flooding back like a tide.

Although his Mental Power perfectly inherited the strength of his Previous Life after rebirth, his physical body was too weak.

Now, forcibly activating the power of the Destruction God Armor had caused multiple tears in his meridians, and his internal organs felt a severe burning sensation.

Su Ling took the Soul Enlightenment Pill. A gentle medicinal power spread within his body, slightly reducing the burning pain, allowing him to barely catch his breath.

When he dragged his exhausted body home, the sky was already tinged with dusk.

The moment he pushed open the door, the warm lights and the lively crowd inside fell silent.

In the hall, Ye Wanqing, Yu Xiaogang, and Flender seemed to be chatting quite congenially.

Seeing him return, the smile on Ye Wanqing's face froze instantly, then was replaced by disbelief, shock, and terror.
