ACER-Chapter 47: So She Was in This Much Pain Every Day

Hearing that the place they were going to was very dangerous, Long Yanche’s hand paused, and the two hands holding Di Yange tightened slightly.

It would be one thing if he was the only one in danger, but he didn’t want anything to happen to Xiao Li.

“Third Young Lady, could I trouble you with one thing? Could you take Xiao Li to the Absolute Forbidden Forest?”

Before Nangong Zhi could refuse, Di Yange became so anxious that all her fur stood on end.

“Zhi!!!”

She sprang onto Long Yanche’s head and scratched that perfect platinum-blond long hair into a chicken coop.

This time, she was truly angry.

With such a good thing, this boy actually wanted her to go to the Absolute Forbidden Forest alone. Although that place was also a good place, how could it compare to being by Long Yanche’s side?

This something-something tomb was a good place to seek death just from the sounds of it.

She seemed to have some impression of it, but only vaguely remembered that the male lead Xiao Jue was also there. Where there was a male lead, there were definitely good things, and where there were good things, there were often great dangers.

So for a place this good, she’s definitely going unless she was beaten to death.

Long Yanche took Di Yange down from his head and held her in his arms.

“Xiao Li, are you worried about me? But I’m so useless. I can’t even protect you.”

Di Yange looked happily at Long Yanche with shining eyes that looked like black crystals, while using her paw to pat herself, to show that:

With her around, everything would be fine.

“Then alright. Even if we die, we’ll die together.”

Di Yange looked at Long Yanche in surprise, then very happily nodded her furry little head.

Nangong Zhi suddenly felt a bit envious of Long Yanche.

How could such a spiritual little thing set her sights on someone like him?

…

Finally, the day to set out arrived.

There weren’t actually many people departing. Apart from the head of the Nangong Family, there’s only Xiao Jue, the trio led by Brother Yu who had caused them trouble that day, and a person dressed in black with a hood on his head whose age and looks couldn’t be seen clearly.

Adding Long Yanche and her, there were eight in total.

Although there was a very hateful Xiao Jue, with Brother Yu and these three unruly people around, she felt much more at ease.

This trip definitely wouldn’t be peaceful.

And sure enough, they ran into difficulty right at the start.

With a group of cultivators like them, they would naturally travel by flying on swords all the way there. But once Long Yanche was added, it was obvious that one person had to carry him.

Thus, this difficult task fell onto the trio led by Brother Yu.

Who let the three of them have the lowest cultivation, apart from Long Yanche? In this group, they were being used as servants.

The three found Long Yanche, this burden, even more unpleasant to look at.

Fortunately, with the ruthless head of the Nangong Family present, they didn’t dare do anything openly to Long Yanche along the way.

But if a chance presents itself, then it would be hard to say.

After three days of flying on swords, the group finally reached their destination.

It was mainly because of Long Yanche, who dragged them down. Otherwise, they would’ve arrived long ago.

This place was probably already no longer in the mortal world.

As for the exact location, Di Yange had no interest in knowing. She only knew that she should be able to go home now.

For a place this barren, to the point that people wouldn’t even want to look at it twice, it looked like the signal of seeking death just from the atmosphere.

After a while of tinkering by the black-clothed person at the side, an opening appeared in front of them.

The black-clothed person reminded them, “Cultivation may be restricted inside. You should all be careful.”

The black-clothed person’s voice sounded a bit too young, as to what he looked like, Di Yange had absolutely no interest.

She had already impatiently jumped down.

“Xiao Li.”

Long Yanche cried out in alarm and also jumped down after her.

Then the remaining people all followed down impatiently.

As soon as the group went down, they felt a pressure that made it hard for them to breathe, and their cultivation was also restricted.

Just as Di Yange was about to run inside to seek death, she heard the icy voice of the head of the Nangong Family, “Xiao Li, during these past few days, I have been constantly observing you. I know you understand human nature, and you’re even wholeheartedly devoted towards this boy.”

“Zhi??”

What did wholeheartedly devoted mean?

Wasn’t that phrase used too strangely?

The head of the Nangong Family looked with satisfaction at Di Yange’s anxious appearance.

With his hand tightly clutching Long Yanche’s neck, he said, “Xiao Li, I want you to find the treasures left behind here. If you disobey, I will strangle him to death.”

“Zhi!”

Di Yange directly rolled her eyes.

Wasn’t that just nonsense? She had of course come here to seek death.

And places where treasures were hidden would definitely let one die faster.

Long Yanche’s eyes brimmed with tears, all he could feel was how useless he was.

If not for him, Xiao Li wouldn’t be forced like this, but right now he not only couldn’t speak, he couldn’t even commit suicide.

And Di Yange was already studying where she could die quickly.

Soon, she again sensed something delicious like last time.

Slurp.

Di Yange slurped her saliva, then ran toward that direction ahead.

The group behind followed closely after her, and in the hand of the head of the Nangong Family, Long Yanche was still being carried by the neck.

Di Yange led the crowd wandering all around underground.

The whole underground was like a huge maze. With the slightest carelessness, one could lose their bearings in it.

As they walked, the black-clothed man suddenly shouted, “Be careful, there’s danger.”

When Di Yange heard the sound and turned back, she saw the group of seven standing there blankly, one by one, their movements became strange and their eyes were full of emptiness.

“Zhi?”

Could this be the legendary illusion technique? An illusion array?

How was it that she hadn’t fallen for it?

Could it be because she wasn’t human right now?

Di Yange rushed over and slapped Long Yanche in the face with one paw.

However, Long Yanche’s eyes reddened, and he muttered, “I don’t want to be a slave. Even if I die, I don’t want to be a slave.”

“Zhi?”

Not good.

Seeing that Long Yanche was about to ram into the wall, Di Yange could only use her body as a cushion, taking several crashes from Long Yanche.

Before she could even be rammed to death, she felt like she was about to puke.

As for the others, although they were also going mad, she couldn’t take care of them.

Just when Di Yange was being rammed dizzy, suddenly, with a rumble, the ground beneath their feet collapsed.

The whole group fell downward like dumplings going into a pot.

At a time like this, Di Yange could only transform into a white-haired, white-robed youth and wrap Long Yanche, who was trapped in an illusion, into her arms.

“Xiao Li.” Outside the light screen, Long Yanche looked at the white-haired youth, and as he accidentally touched the light screen, he immediately covered his chest and stumbled back a step.

At the same time, he looked in shock at the youth inside the light screen.

At the time, he truly didn’t know that his Xiao Li was actually in this much pain every day.

That’s right, she was so badly injured, how could she not be in pain?

She was already in such pain, but she still had to save a burden like him.

In the times he didn’t know about, his Xiao Li had done even more than he could’ve imagined.

But the moment he thought of what happened afterward, Long Yanche’s expression changed again very quickly.
