After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

".....I..."

Because of the extreme suffocation, Chu Lingxiao's pair of pure black eyes were covered with a layer of mist due to physiological reaction, and his eyes gradually became blurred, as if he was about to lose consciousness in the next second.

His lips trembled slightly, but he could no longer utter a complete word, and could only make intermittent, almost inaudible sounds.

His originally straight spine was now slightly bent due to extreme pain. His body was swaying helplessly in the air, like a leaf about to wither in the strong wind.

His face quickly turned from red to purple, veins popped out on his forehead, and cold sweat dripped down like rain.

Every effort to breathe seemed like a desperate struggle, and every second that passed was pushing him closer to the brink of death.

He grasped the demon king's iron-like wrist weakly, but it was like an ant trying to shake a tree, unable to move it even a little.

The demon king suddenly stopped moving, and the face that was similar to the one in his memory overlapped, with tears flashing in his eyes due to suffocation.

[Yun Che, you promised me that you would not hurt the one I love.]

The woman in his memory looked at him with a pleading look on her face, and cried like this, which made him feel pity for her.

Damn it, why did I think of her again?

The Demon King was upset, but he still released his hold and let Chu Lingxiao fall heavily to the ground.

"Ling Xiao."

Although Gu Qingze was suppressed and unable to move by the powerful aura of the Demon King, he still tried his best to move his body towards Chu Lingxiao.

His eyes were filled with anxiety and concern, and his voice was trembling with nervousness.

Chu Lingxiao collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, and every breath was accompanied by a violent cough, as if he was going to cough out his lungs.

His body twitched uncontrollably as he tried to recover from the agony of dying.

Gu Qingze was extremely anxious, but he could only watch Chu Lingxiao struggling in pain on the ground. The deep feeling of powerlessness made his heart feel like it was hit by a heavy hammer.

His eyes were red and tears were welling up in them, and his heart was filled with self-blame and anger.

It's all his fault. If he hadn't been so weak, if he hadn't insisted on finding out the truth, these things... wouldn't have happened.

Chu Lingxiao finally stopped coughing, but was still too weak to stand up. His eyes were empty, as if his soul had left his body.

The life-and-death moment he had just experienced almost caused his spirit to collapse, and the fear in his heart hit him like a tide, wave after wave.

Although he had a certain degree of confidence that he would not die so easily before completing the plan of the man behind the scenes, the fear of being close to death just now...

The demon king watched all this with a complicated expression and a fierce inner struggle. The woman's face emerged, disturbing his mind.

Gu Qingze finally moved to Chu Lingxiao's side. He stretched out his hand tremblingly, wanting to help Chu Lingxiao up, but found that his hands were also shaking.

"Ling Xiao, hold on, it will be okay, it will definitely be okay."

His voice was tearful, both to comfort Chu Lingxiao and to encourage himself.

The demon king turned around and returned to his throne, gripping the armrests tightly with both hands, his joints turning white from the strain.

The woman's tearful eyes and pleading kept appearing in his mind, intertwined with Chu Lingxiao's painful appearance in front of him, making his heart even heavier.

"You really won't let me go even if you die." The demon king muttered to himself.

At this moment, the woman in his memory won this fierce ideological struggle, and his reason gradually returned and he became calm.

Since he has no intention of killing him for the time being, he will continue to complete the task assigned to him by that person.

He thought so, and as if giving alms, he lowered his eyes and said, "You came here to enter Xuanyin. Now I allow you."

He raised his hand slightly, and a leaf-shaped mark appeared on the foreheads of Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao.

"With this mark, you can travel freely."

The demon king spoke to himself, ignoring the two people who were struggling.

[Yun Che, if you have the chance to see my child, please do me a favor, just as... for the sake of our many years of brotherhood.]

He originally wanted to let them leave immediately. After all, he had completed the task assigned to him by that person.

But for some reason, the woman's face appeared in his mind again. In his memory, she was so beautiful that she seemed not to belong to this world.

For the sake of our years of brotherhood...

Oh, this sentence is so ridiculous!

After all these years, are you really so stupid that you can't see my feelings for you?

Why can't you just depend on me? Wouldn't it be good to just be my property?

What do you mean you found true love? And you even told me excitedly the first time. Don’t you realize my feelings at all?

The demon king sneered disdainfully when he thought of this.

It's impossible. You are a monster that understands the emotions of all things. If you didn't know anything about it, how could you sign a blood contract with me?

I clearly know that you are taking advantage of my feelings for you, but I am willing to be used by you. Am I the most pathetic one?

The Demon King lightly raised his finger again, and Chu Lingxiao, who had not yet fully recovered, was suspended in mid-air.

Gu Qingze suppressed the fear in his heart, even though his mind clearly told him that now was not a good time to speak.

Although he knew that doing so might anger the Demon King, he still spoke resolutely.

"What are you going to do to Ling Xiao?"

"Say one more word and I'll rip your tongue out."

The demon king reminded very "kindly", then waved a finger casually, and Chu Lingxiao disappeared completely.
