Chapter 2171: You Will Be Able to Always Be With Me
Gu Rui had not only robbed her of her possessions but also wanted to rob her of her life. How on earth did the Fang family wrong him? Did he have no qualms about doing this?
“The map didn’t belong to your family in the first place. Rather, back then, someone betrayed my ancestor and took the map. It is not yours.”
“You mean my ancestor betrayed your family?” Ning Shu asked with a frown.
“Restrain her,” Gu Rui said indifferently.
Gu Rui’s men surrounded Ning Shu. She covered her mouth and nose and threw a handful of poison at the people surrounding her.
She couldn’t fight them head-on.
The poison weakened the men when they breathed it in and they fell to the ground with a ‘thud.’
Ning Shu kicked one of them away and jumped out of the encirclement. She looked at Gu Rui vigilantly while backing away.
Gu Rui frowned as he looked at his fallen subordinates. He looked slightly anxious and he said to Ning Shu, “I underestimated you.”
Gu Rui walked toward Ning Shu and she took a defensive stance. “Gu Rui, what right do you have to offer me as a sacrifice? You’re not qualified.”
“You are my wife, the Jia Kingdom’s queen. It is an honor to become a sacrifice for your kingdom.” Gu Rui reached out to Ning Shu. “When you become the life-death bell, you will be able to always be with me.”
Ning Shu: Who wanted to be with him forever!
She was a task-taker. If her soul was sacrificed, she wouldn’t be able to go back to the system s.p.a.ce.
Furthermore, who knew if her soul would still exist after it was sacrificed.
Fang Lanxin must have been sacrificed to the life-death bell.
Ning Shu flung a handful of poison at Gu Rui, but he didn’t respond at all. He even smiled gently at Ning Shu. “I am invulnerable to all poisons. You don’t know the pain I have endured to restore my country.”
Ning Shu: …
Sh*t.
This b.a.s.t.a.r.d must have been soaking in all kinds of medicines since he was small so as to be invulnerable to all kinds of poisons.
Since her poison didn’t work, Ning Shu quickly backed away.
“I advise you not to run around. This tomb is not as harmless and beautiful as it seems,” Gu Rui said in a deep voice. Then he spoke to Mo Juechen who had been watching the whole time, “Help me catch her.”
Mo Juechen spread his hands. “I’ve got what I want, so why would I care about your problems?”
Gu Rui wasn’t angry. He said indifferently, “Are you sure? You might not be able to leave without me.”
Mo Juechen’s expression changed. “This lord hates dealing with people like you the most, even more than sanctimonious, upright people of the orthodox sects.”
For the sake of achieving his goals, Gui Rui would use any means necessary and exploit the weaknesses of others.
When put nicely, it could be called wisdom and being endowed with extraordinary intelligence with the ability to plan a decisive victory from thousands of miles away. However, despicable and shameless were also apt descriptions.
Mo Juechen moved to block Ning Shu. Cheng Mingzi also joined in and the three surrounded her.
Ning Shu took a deep breath and asked again, “Gu Rui, did you kill my father?”
“Your father caught the plague,” Gu Rui said indifferently. “I never thought of doing anything to him.”
There were many ways to catch the plague.
Ning Shu still deeply suspected that the old man’s death had an ulterior motive behind it. If the old man had known that he was going to die, he would definitely have given his belongings to his closest relatives.
Plus, the 14-year-old Fang Lanxin had no one to support her after he died. Gu Rui would have been the only person she could rely on.
Ning Shu didn’t know how Gu Rui got the map in the original storyline, but she suspected that Fang Lanxin had taken the initiative to give it to him.
“I have to be the sacrifice?” Ning Shu asked with a calm expression. “Why does it have to be me?”
Gu Rui raised the bronze bell in his hand. “As we are husband and wife, you and I have the closest relation. Plus, you have the fate of a queen. Of course you are the most suitable.”
Ning Shu: …
“d.a.m.n fatty, what are you struggling for? Hurry up. Don’t waste our time.” Mo Juechen was impatient. He wanted to leave the tomb as soon as possible.
