Despair filled Teng Keshu's face, yet she looked toward Chen Jianqing with a glimmer of hope.
She had seen it clearly. The Undying Lord had attacked Chen Jianqing, Mu Ziqing, and Ji Yue first, but Qin Hao had intervened and stopped him. Only then had he turned on the others.
So Teng Keshu thought that if Chen Jianqing spoke up, Qin Hao might save her too...
But...
Save Teng Keshu?
Chen Jianqing stared at Teng Keshu, his expression colder than ice.
Two years.
Two whole years.
He had been with Teng Keshu for two years, pouring untold time and effort into her. And what had he gotten in the end?
Betrayal and abandonment!
Whether Chen Jianqing could save Teng Keshu was beside the point. Even if he could, he would not lift a finger.
Besides, Qin Hao's struggle against the Undying Lord had clearly reached a critical moment. If Chen Jianqing asked Qin Hao to save Teng Keshu now, it would inevitably disrupt the fight!
"Chen Jianqing, you heartless bastard! How dare you stand there and let me die!"
Seeing the coldness on Chen Jianqing's face, Teng Keshu hurled curses at him, her eyes brimming with venom and resentment.
With her face now shriveled and stripped of flesh, she looked vicious beyond measure.
Disgust flashed through Chen Jianqing's eyes.
If I don't save her, I'm heartless?
But when she abandoned me, we simply weren't right for each other?
What a fine double standard!
"Ah!!!"
"Chen Jianqing, even as a ghost, I won't let you off..."
Great quantities of her Essence Blood and life force were devoured, streaming into the Undying Lord's soul. Teng Keshu roared in despair, her voice growing weaker and weaker, but her anguish and desperation rang unmistakably clear.
Teng Keshu was in agony. She was desperate.
But
