With every step Yu Xiaogang crawled, he left behind a long trail of blood.
His wounds scraped against the ground, bringing piercing pain, yet he still did not stop.
Yu Xiaogang let out muffled whimpers, as though calling Bibi Dong's name. His eyes were filled with a desire to live and dependence on her.
"Xiao Gang, I'm here. I'll take you away..."
Bibi Dong hurriedly rose to her feet, staggered forward, and crouched down to help him up.
However, something strange happened.
When Bibi Dong reached her hand toward Yu Xiaogang, it passed straight through his body.
She felt no solid touch at all, as if the Yu Xiaogang before her was merely a phantom.
"Qian Renxue! What did you do? What exactly did you do to him?!"
Bibi Dong's pupils contracted sharply. Her face was filled with shock and confusion as she suddenly looked up and roared at Qian Renxue.
Watching Yu Xiaogang struggle in agony before her while being unable even to touch him, Bibi Dong felt as though her heart were being sliced apart inch by inch. The pain was unbearable.
This feeling of helplessness was worse than killing her.
The Shrek Seven Devils watched the scene before them, their hearts tightening.
"I merely wanted you to properly experience pain."
"The person you want to save is right in front of you, yet because you are powerless, all you can do is watch him suffer."
"Doesn't that feel wonderful?"
"This is only the beginning. I'll make you experience, bit by bit, all the pain you made the other me endure back then."
Qian Renxue looked down at Bibi Dong from above, a cold smile curling across her lips as her voice carried a trace of mockery.
"Ah—!!!"
Bibi Dong let out a shrill roar as black aura
