The End of Bright King Map

At this moment, Ye Mu suddenly stood up and pulled Lin Zhizhao close to walk. “Come with me.”

Lin Zhizhao blankly stared at her. With a purple face, he hoarsely said, “I’m poisoned, don’t touch me.”

“This swamp’s poison is really strong, maybe smelling it is also poisonous. We should be on our way to avoid it.”

Lin Zhizhao was pulled by her, staggering as he followed. He felt miserable, the poison was really too strong, his time was running out!

So he said, “You—you let go of me. There is only little left of the map, I’ll tell you the rest. You must go out.”

“Shut up!” Ye Mu dragged him onto the path, earnestly looking at him. “We’ll go together.”

“But I—” Lin Zhizhao bitterly smiled. “As you can see, I can’t escape from death, I can’t. No one can escape.”

Ye Mu said, “You said before I’ll die soon.”

Lin Zhizhao wanted to smile, he felt his face was rather numb. “I lied to you.”

Ye Mu clenched her teeth. Damn little liar, it made her worried for so long!

“Everyone will die, but you can live,” he said hoarsely.

Ye Mu groaned. She didn’t want to pay attention to him anymore!

“I-I’ll draw you the map.” After they stopped, Ye Mu loosened her hold, and Lin Zhizhao sat on the ground. At this moment, he felt lightheaded. He wanted to use the opportunity when he was clear-headed enough to draw out the map, but Ye Mu destroyed the stone in his hand.

“I said, we’ll go together.”

This time, Lin Zhizhao didn’t smile. He intently looked at Ye Mu. “People’s fate can’t change!”

Ye Mu similarly stared at him. “Then I’ll let you know, it can change!”

Saying this, she patted Lin Zhizhao and spun his whole body around. “Sit properly! I’ll force the poison out of you*!”

*by giving him internal energy

Lin Zhizhao was startled, and finally said the truth, “Actually, I just lied to you. You do have death qi! You can’t force the poison out of me. For the rest of the way, how will you go out if you use up all your internal energy?!”

Ye Mu didn’t care which of his words were actually true and which were false.

“I only know that I must bring you out. I never abandon someone who’s beside me.”

Lin Zhizhao wanted to refuse, but Ye Mu restrained him. In a second, he felt a gentle force pouring onto his vest. Ye Mu, she really chose to force the poison out of him?

All the way until here, he knew, although Ye Mu’s internal energy was great, after breaking so many stone doors, it should be about used up by now. And right now, she chose to lend him internal energy and force his poison out?

The poison in his body could get infected. Is it possible that the death qi he sees on Ye Mu is because of her saving him?!

The more he thought about it, the more he couldn’t bear it. He just said she didn’t have death qi, but that was a lie; he only wanted to give her a little faith that she could live, that’s all. Moreover, if Ye Mu doesn’t save him, she definitely can go out!

But saving him, it was also still uncertain whether or not he could be saved. Even if it was possible, her internal energy would be used up, and she would undoubtedly die!

“Ye Mu—”

“Shut up!” Ye Mu closed her eyes, used her whole body’s internal energy to force the poison out of Lin Zhizhao.

But Lin Zhizhao still said, “Don’t mind me. You might still live then.”

Ye Mu snorted. “Then I’ll reiterate one last time: I definitely won’t die here, and neither will you.”

“Why” does she have so much self-confidence, why exactly?

“Because,” Ye Mu faintly smiled, “Because even if I use up my internal energy, even if I’m poisoned and can’t go out, there’s still someone who’ll come save me!”

Lin Zhizhao couldn’t think of a response after a long time. He endured the blood that he nearly hurled out of his chest, and said with a cold smile, “You know what happened to my mother, and you still trust men? Men, especially rich and powerful men, sincerity to them is something that can be bought. It’s nothing strange.

“It’s really dangerous down here, you seriously think he’ll risk his life for you? You’re really as naive as my mother!”

Ye Mu worked on his poison as she earnestly said, “All the more reason you have to live.”

“Why?” What does this have anything to do with his survival?

Ye Mu said with a smile, “Because only if you live will I be able to give you proof. You’re wrong, the person I like and the person your mother liked are different. So, if you keep questioning him like this, I’ll get angry.”

Lin Zhizhao choked on a breath in his heart, and in the end he sneered. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely hang in there and die together with you!”

He humphed. “Anyway, both of us are plagued with death qi. When you start hacking* and succumb to despair, I can still comfort you, that it’s better for you to die alone.”

*the raw uses onomatopoeia for coughing – “ke ke”

Ye Mu clicked her tongue. “That’s very kind of you.”

After she finished talking, she exerted strength onto her palm. Lin Zhizhao couldn’t bear it anymore and spat a mouthful of blood. Ye Mu’s original lively complexion slightly dulled, but in any case, the poison was stopped.

“If there’s still poison remaining, you just have to wait until you go out, eat some herbal medicine and you’ll get better. As you wished, I don’t have much internal energy left. Let’s keep going!”

Lin Zhizhao heard her, and stood with a deathly pale complexion. But in any case, his face wasn’t of that purple color anymore.

Next, they must find the exit even more quickly, this time for real.

Who would have thought, when they arrived in front of a completely sealed door and Ye Mu slapped a hand down, the door actually did not budge a single bit. She did not believe it, and struck down again. The stone door vibrated, but it never opened. At that moment, the two people fell silent.

In the end, Ye Mu sighed. “Well then, my internal energy is used up.”

Actually, her internal energy had been worn out early. She only clenched her teeth and persevered, destroying one door after another. But now it really was depleted. Are they really trapped now and have to wait for someone to come save them?

Lin Zhizhao had slim hopes.

But at this moment, Ye Mu suddenly asked him, “Say, we’ve walked this far, so we should be close to the end of the map, right?”

Lin Zhizhao nodded. “Yes, but who knows what’s at the end of the map? We’re already like this, we don’t want to risk it, do we?

But Ye Mu said with a deep breath, “No! From what you’ve said, no one has walked to the last of this Bright King Map. Who knows what’s at the end? Get up. Anyway, the exits are all blocked. We’ll try our luck and see if we can make it to the end smoothly!”

“What’s there to see at the end? I’ve already said, this place was used for the emperor’s tomb before. The dead remains are no longer here, much less the burial objects.”

Ye Mu didn’t care. “We’ve been here for a long time already, sitting like this makes us lose our spirit. Get up. I said we should check, so we definitely should.”
