OFFERING CONCUBINES
EPISODE 118 GAVE UP LIFE FOR THE SECOND TIME

Jiu Fei grabbed onto Zhao Juren's shoulder, pushing her with all her might to the left side.

Zhao Juren who did not expect Jiu Fei's sudden action, so could not do much, his body lined up several steps almost strayed.

With so much courage and no hesitation, Jiu Fei headed towards the sword eyes that pointed straight at his chest.

"Akhs..." The voice rang out slicing hearts, he did not screech just moaning enduring the pain.

The sword thrust struck Jiu Fei's chest, making blood immediately seep from between the sword eyes that slashed past his pitch-black cloth.

"Afei...!" Zhao Juren shouted as if howling, catching a slender body that was pushed back and slumped on the ground. Holding him to lean on his chest.

The attacker drew his sword, fresh red blood bathed the tip of the sword eye in his hand.

With a single sabet, Zhao Juren repulsed the masked army chief. Upon seeing that the real target was dying, the leader of the army signaled to the rest of his men to retreat immediately.

They knew, Young master Zhao was the darling of the queen mother, they would not really dare to touch her.

Their mission is to kill the slippery woman who hides in her veil, having infiltrated the secret places of the queen mother but always getting away with it.

The masked assailants immediately jumped away, lost in the darkness of the night.

Zhao Juren released the sword in her hand, hugging Jiu Fei's helpless body, holding a wound that tore through her chest.

A tootokan was given Zhao Juren on Jiu Fei's chest, trying to prevent the blood from coming out even more.

"Afey..." Zhao Juren removed the veil covering Jiu Fei's face with trembling hands, finding the beautiful face that used to make her intoxicated.

The face remained beautiful, although it now looked deathly pale. Fresh blood flowed from the corner of his lips, the expression of those eyes was so satisfied as well as sad.

"Juren..." His thin lips called out in a weak voice.

For the first time in Zhao Juren's lifetime, seeing Jiu Fei's eyes was so warm and sparkling as if telling the depths of her heart with all the contents inside.

It used to be so hard to guess, so mysterious and full of resistance. He showed how stubborn he was in front of Zhao Juren.

The eyes that were staring at him weakly were like a pair of clear ponds, so lonely in a wrap with immense fatigue that it was rubbing all the way to his bones.

Zhao Juren held onto Jiu Fei's hand that felt warm by the blood, as it tried to cover the gaping wound on her chest.

His black clothes were wet with blood that fused the color with the thick of the cloth.

"Hold on, Afei.I'll take you to my residence." He said in a loud and loud voice.

"Juren..." Jiu Fei caught Zhao Juren's hand, a slick smile carved on her lips, making Zhao Juren undo her intention to get up standing carrying Jiu Fei's body.

"I'm not going anywhere." His forehead, two clear spheres fell on the end of his eyes.

"But, I have to treat your wounds, your blood is too much out." Zhao Juren replied with great anxiety.

"I don't want anything else, Juren. I'll be home soon. Didn't you always tell me to go...?"

The sentence was cut off, in place of a small squealing sound from Jiu Fei's mouth as Zhao Juren's fingertips pegged the edges of the wound on his chest.

"Don't talk anymore." Zhao Juren said loudly, he knew the bleeding in Jiu Fei's wounds was getting worse if he had to take it now, the excessive movement would hasten the bleeding, the wound was hurting him so deeply, almost slicing his heart.

Zhao Juren could only try to stop the bleeding first, even though she knew it didn't help much.

Zhao Juren placed Jiu Fei's head on his arm, giving it the comfortable position possible on his lap, his own body leaning against the tree trunk that was behind him.

"Juren.let me rest for a while here, don't take me anywhere" Jiu Fei still tried to speak despite her pale lips trembling, so begging.

Angry at himself who could not prevent Jiu Fei's actions.

"Why can't I do it? Didn't you first ask why I voluntarily held back the arrow to save Yan Yue? Now, as I approach the sword for you, do you still want to ask again...?" Jiu Fei spoke with the rest of his strength.

"You fool, Afei! Because you are really stupid!!" Zhao Juren's eyes were hot.

Jiu Fei chuckled softly until he coughed, looking at the man who was sticking his neck.

"Whenever time is turned back, to the time eleven years ago.if you are the one to the arrow.I will not hesitate to stand giving my back." Jiu Fei said in a broken voice.

"Don't talk anymore, please..." Zhao Juren decided not to listen to Jiu Fei's request, she would immediately bring the girl to seek help.

"Juren!" Jiu Fei held onto Zhao Juren's cheeks with her fingers covered in blood huh herself.

"I have no regrets, doing this to you..." He said, the voice was already so weak, while his palm felt cold creeping on Zhao Juren's cheek.

The reflection of the moonlight, which suddenly felt so bright made Zhao Juren could see Jiu Fei's face so clearly like noon. That face was so missed, so loved.

"I told you once.I really love Yan Yue.I will risk my life to protect her. But, I never told you.if I could do the same for you..." His voice had begun to falter, no longer irregular.

"Maybe I can't love you but I've always liked you. And if I have to die, I'm happy to be in the arms of the person I like." Jiu Fei's hand slowly slipped from Zhao Juren's cheek.

His breathing had already begun to sting, with great difficulty he adjusted his breathing.

"Afei..stop talking..."

"Juren, you know one thing, I'd rather hear you call my name with Afei than Jiu Jiu..." Jiu Fei tried to laugh but instead made her choke.

"Afei, I'm sorry..." Zhao Juren hugged that increasingly weak body, her heart breaking at Jiu Fei's state.

"Sorry for what? You never did me wrong...."

Zhao Juren had no more words, she always felt guilty for forcing Jiu Fei to divide her heart even though she knew, Jiu Fei never loved her.

"Can you carry me now...? It's time we go." Jiu Fei's whisper.

Zhao Juren followed him with a heart that struggled with pain.

"Take me to Zhieshan Hill. Bury me among the Wisteria trees." His whisper, shook Zhao Juren's soul.

Jiu Fei's eyes closed a few times, but her breathing still sounded one-on-one.

Zhao Juren felt so scared of her heart, like Jiu Fei was about to leave her again, as if they would never meet again.

He raised the frail body of the girl, with sadness, feeling so light. Cottonseed.

Zhao Juren carried the helpless weak body, letting Jiu Fei's face towards her chest.

Walk with wide steps towards the east where Zhieshan hill is located.

"I. I. really like your smell...it's so sweet.like the smell of plums in spring..." Jiu Fei's voice was like a sigh.

"I'll take you to Sunyen's temple." Zhao Juren hugged the slender body while continuing to walk half-run, she just wanted to continue listening to Jiu Fei's sigh, to make sure Jiu Fei remained alive until at Sunyen temple.
