Chapter 472

As if the gods had played a joke on humanity, Yao Shi, whose body had lost its support, fell straight down like a swallow falling from a great height.

Amidst the despairing gazes of everyone around her, she fell from the overpass, tumbling down the railing and amidst the rubble.

"Yao Shi..."

Her outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and the faint smile on her face froze at the corner of her mouth.

Han Yu stood there blankly, still holding out her hand to Yao Shi, then collapsed to the ground as if all her strength had been drained.

Just one step away, Yao Shi was just one step away from reaching the safe zone, just one step away from being by her side, just one Yao Shi away from grabbing her outstretched hand.

"You're kidding..."

Han Yu stared blankly at the bridge, a chilling coldness instantly engulfing her entire body.

This is a lie. She must be dreaming. How could Yao Shi possibly encounter such a thing?

"Asshole..."

Upon seeing this, Milutin ripped off his coat and ran forward.

That girl is injured. If she falls into the sea, she will be in serious danger. We absolutely cannot leave her alone...

But just as she set off, someone reacted faster and more swiftly than she did.

Milutin felt a gust of wind whistling past him, and then he saw a dark figure jump down from where Yao Shi had fallen.

"Miss Shi! Boss!!!"

Nan Zhu and Rat, who had hurriedly caught up from behind, roared in fear.

What exactly happened? Why did they witness this despairing scene so soon after arriving here?

They thought they had finally caught up with their boss and the others, but how come they saw Miss Shi as soon as they stood here...?

"Young Master, Yao Shi..."

Coming to her senses, Milutin rushed to the bridge, only to find the two figures had vanished.

Gazing at the abyss-like waves and tsunami below, Milutin gripped the railing tightly, murmuring with a complex expression.

If it were the young master... if it were the young master, he might really be able to save Yao Shi... but what if something unexpected happens...?

"He jumped off such a high cliff... This... This is bound to cause an accident... Something terrible will definitely happen..."

"Well, that's what I'm saying. No matter how you look at it, this is too impulsive. Who would jump down to save someone? They might not only fail to save the person but also get themselves killed."

"With such high cliffs, even if you don't hit the rocks and jump directly into the sea, it will cause great harm to your body. Why can't you contact the rescue team first and wait for them to search and rescue you?"

The other tourists, recovering from their shock, slowly walked to the edge of the overpass and began to chatter amongst themselves.

Jumping from that height would surely result in serious injury, even if the person didn't die. Was that man crazy? Did he intend to kill himself?

Was that pretty girl who slipped and fell his girlfriend? Even if she was his girlfriend, he shouldn't have acted so impulsively. Wouldn't it have been better to wait for the rescue team?

This could easily lead to their downfall. Does this young couple intend to go to paradise together?

"Shut your stinking mouth! Wu Liang and Yao Shi will absolutely not be in any danger!"

The usually calm Su Qian clenched her fists and shouted angrily after hearing the conversation of the passersby around her.

This group of people who just make sarcastic remarks and take random photos with their phones are disgusting. They have no idea how important Miss Shi Yaoshi is to Wu Liang.

Are these people brainless? Don't they think about why Wu Liang jumped down without hesitation the moment Miss Shi fell?

What kind of strong bond could make someone risk their own life to save another?

"And it's not just Wu Liang, Miss Shi is the same."

"If Wu Liang were in any danger, Miss Shi Wu Liang definitely rush to his side regardless of her own safety."

Su Qian bit her lip and murmured softly, "Wu Liang and Yao Shi, you two absolutely cannot get hurt, absolutely, absolutely cannot get hurt..."

Chapter 75: The Farewell Between Yao Shi

As Yao Shi plummeted downwards, she stared blankly at the sky bridge that seemed to grow ever more distant above her, thick blood flowing down the wound on her forehead.

She could vaguely hear Han Yu and the others shouting, but what she heard most was the roar of the waves below.

She suffered a severe head injury, and the buzzing in her head left her completely powerless; even opening her mouth to call for help was a luxury.

Her consciousness was rapidly fading away. Yao Shi raised her right hand with almost all her might, stretching it towards the sky. The diamond ring on her right hand was sparkling brightly in front of her eyes.

With her dreamy eyes fixed on the ring on her palm, Yao Shi opened her mouth but didn't say anything more.

She stared intently at the diamond ring on her hand, then finally clutched her right hand tightly to her chest, as if protecting the most precious treasure of her life, and closed her eyes.

This diamond ring was the most precious gift she had received in all these years. It was personally chosen for her by the young master, who also personally put it on her and praised her for how beautiful it looked on her.

She loved and cherished the ring very much, so no matter what happened, she would prioritize keeping it intact.

Because that represents the young master's feelings, and it also represents that her love for the young master has never wavered or changed.

"What a pity... I should have confessed my feelings to the young master sooner..."

Yao Shi gripped the ring in her hand and murmured softly. Her snow-white hair tie was blown high by the storm, and her long, flowing hair looked like a black silver river spread across the sky.

With her eyes tightly closed and her mind completely emptied, Yao Shi was like a bird falling straight into the water.

.

A pale blue halo floated before my eyes, and as far as the eye could see, there were vast, enclosed spaces enveloped by seawater.

This is the depths of the ocean, where the deep blue waters endlessly approach the color of pure black, with ripples constantly spreading outwards.

There was no roaring, raging waves, no thunder before a downpour, and no howling wind like when we fell off the cliff.

This is a pure and silent space, a silent space completely enveloped by a deep blue sea of silence.

There was not a sound, only endless silence and a suffocating, oppressive atmosphere.

Feelings of powerlessness, exhaustion, and stiffness enveloped her entire body. Yao Shi was now drifting aimlessly in this azure space like a lifeless corpse.

Unable to even move a finger, naked, Yao Shi had lost all control over her body.

She was now just a puppet, helpless and adrift in the dark, deep blue sea, unable to do anything.

All I could do was turn my eyes around at this deserted space, feeling my body gradually being eroded and frozen by the icy seawater.

Even breathing became difficult at this moment. The oppressive feeling in her chest made her feel particularly uncomfortable, and a sense of suffocation and despair was swirling in her mind.

She tried to breathe, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the seawater surrounding her rushed in.

The intense feeling of suffocation caused Yao Shi to faint repeatedly in this dimly lit space, only to wake up from her unconscious state again and again.

She kept repeating the cycle of waking up and fainting, and even Yao Shi couldn't remember how long this state had lasted.

It could be just a few minutes, or it could be several hours, or it could even be several days.

Like a puppet, Yao Shi floated listlessly in the cold, desolate ocean, her eyes vacant. This endless loneliness and helplessness made her want to cry.

Yao Shi believes she has always been strong and that she can remain calm at any time.

Yao Shi thought she would never shed tears for meaningless things, much less feel sad or upset about them.

But she was wrong. She wasn't as strong as she thought. Right now, she was as lost and confused as a child who had gotten lost from her mother.

She wanted to scream for help, longed for someone to come and take her out of this confined deep-sea space, and hoped to curl up in the young master's arms and cry her heart out to release her inner fear.

She didn't like being alone, and she especially disliked being alone in the deep sea, which she feared and hated most.

Her eyes, devoid of their former luster, were dull and lifeless, with glistening tears at the corners, shimmering like tiny pearls.

This completely enclosed deep-sea space made Yao Shi feel as if she were dead, unable to speak or move her body.

She can no longer even feel her own hands and feet; she has become a completely lost soul wandering in this desolate space.

The loneliness of not wanting to be alone made Yao Shi want to scream and vent, while her fear of the ocean made her want to curl up like a baby to avoid danger.

The seawater was colder than she had imagined; the biting cold felt like countless silver needles piercing her bones.

A stinging sensation spread throughout her body, her muscles contracted due to the intense pain, and the tearing pain caused her to spasm uncontrollably.

But just when Yao Shi thought she was going to bid farewell to the world in this unknown way, a dazzling flash of light suddenly shone overhead.

The golden light transformed into a spear capable of piercing through this deep sea space, forcefully swinging its shaft to split the enclosed space in two.

The intense heat dispelled the icy chill, and the oppressive dark water was instantly evaporated by a blinding flash of light, like the sun.

Yao Shi stared blankly at the miraculous scene before her, mesmerized by the golden arrow above her head that resembled a sharp spear.

As the seawater receded, Yao Shi clearly felt her own existence, and control of her body returned to her hands.

The cold air that had invaded her body was fiercely driven out by the surging heat wave, and an inexplicable warmth was warming her icy heart.

"Young Master..."

This comfortable and relaxing warmth was very familiar to Yao Shi; only the young master could give her such natural warmth.

Moreover, only the young master can find her here and save her...

"You should go back now. Young Master is still waiting for you. You have the strength to act now, don't you?"

"This time, you can't let the young master go so easily. You must keep him firmly by your side, along with my own feelings for him."

A gentle, ethereal female voice rang in Yao Shi's ears. Suddenly, another transparent woman who looked exactly like Yao Shi appeared beside her, speaking earnestly.

Like an elf under the night sky, another "Yao Shi" turned around and smiled slightly at Yao Shi.

A transparent little hand cupped Yao Shi's cheek, and the ethereal, transparent woman left a light kiss on Yao Shi's face.

"And what about you? Don't you plan to see the young master one more time? If you need, my body is always available for you to use."

"You are a character I imagined, you are my ideal, we are the same person."

Yao Shi sat up, clutching her still slightly aching head.

She turned her head to look at another naked woman, "Yao Shi," who was floating beside her and appeared remarkably optimistic.

This "Yao Shi" is different from her. Compared to herself, a cold and aloof stoic maid, the "Yao Shi" in front of her is a soft, cute, and energetic young girl.

The other person was an idealized character she had imagined, a "Yao Shi" created by her subconscious, completely opposite to her own personality and style.

In a sense, this "Yao Shi" is actually what she truly hoped for, while she herself is a flawed and failed product.

She wanted to live a carefree life like the other person, so her subconscious created another personality.

Why has your body become like this?

Yao Shi gazed at the increasingly ethereal "Yao Shi" with a complex expression, and she could feel the other person slowly disappearing.

Why did this happen? As another "personality" of her own, shouldn't she coexist with her?

"Hmm? Haha, there's nothing I can do about it. It seems my existence is pretty much over."

Yao Shi lowered her head, looked at her fading body, and smiled awkwardly.

It's really no use now. There's no way to maintain this form anymore. I thought I could stay here a little longer.

"Why? You are my ideal, you are the second personality I created myself, why have you disappeared?"

Watching "Yao Shi" disappear from her legs, Yao Shi's dark pupils were filled with anxiety and confusion.

Why is this happening? Why did the "Yao Shi," which was so closely connected to me, suddenly start disappearing?

"Uh... I mean, you really don't know why?"

Yao Shi scratched the back of her head and smiled helplessly. Did this girl really not know or was she pretending not to know?

Her thought process is a bit too slow, especially considering she always thought she was very clever and capable.

"If I knew, why would I be asking you? I'm not joking with you. You'd better hurry up and think of a solution."

Noticing that the other person was suspicious of her, Yao Shi frowned and asked with dissatisfaction.

She didn't have the leisure to joke around with him right now; what she needed to do was prevent him from disappearing.

Why can this guy still laugh? She's about to disappear! If she really disappears, she'll never see the young master again.

"Well... to be honest, I've actually thought of many ways behind the scenes."
