Chapter 576: Chapter 575: If Luo Xiang dies, the little tiger will be an orphan (third update)


    The sky was brightening.


    Yin Qin was crying with all his heart and soul.


    He really couldn’t ept this fact.


    He really could not ept that Luo Xiang had just died before his eyes.


    He reached out, grasping her arm.


    Her arm waspletely limp.


    In the past, whenever he touched Luo Xiang, she would push him away.


    This lifeless body in front of him wasn’t Luo Xiang.


    This was not the Luo Xiang he remembered, the one with extraordinarybat power.


    “Xiang, wake up,” cried Yin Qin.


    He knelt before her, shaking her arm.


    Her hand was cold.


    Ice-cold.


    This was not the warmth a human body ought to have.


    “Xiang, please, I beg you to wake up,” Yin Qin pleaded with her, his voice raw with desperation.


    What could he do to bring Luo Xiang back to life?


    What could he do to bring her back?


    “If you wake up, I promise I’ll never bother you again. You can be with Joe if that’s what you want, be happy with him. If you want the little tiger, you can have it, if not, then not. Whatever you say goes. Just wake up, please…” Yin Qin pleaded through tears and snot.


    He couldn’t bear the idea that Luo Xiang no longer existed.


    He couldn’t ept it.


    He copsed on Luo Xiang’s body, crying bitterly.


    The surroundings were quiet.


    Only Yin Qin’s cries and the sound of him calling “Luo Xiang” repeatedly filled the air.


    “Wake up, Luo Xiang, wake up…” Yin Qin held her hand, shaking her body.


    What could he do?


    What could he do to bring Luo Xiang back to life?


    This was the greatest heartbreak he’d ever experienced in his life. He couldn’t bear it.


    Just when Yin Qin felt like giving up and dying alongside Luo Xiang…


    He heard a feeble voice.


    Even though it was weak, it was still a voice, a living voice.


    “Yin Qin.”


    Yin Qin’s body stiffened.


    He didn’t dare to move.


    He feared it was an illusion.


    “Yin Qin…”


    It was really Luo Xiang calling him.


    Yin Qin suddenly got up from Luo Xiang’s body, rushed towards her, and saw her opening her eyes, looking at him.


    Yin Qin’s heart was pounding at that moment, he couldn’t describe what he was feeling.


    It’s as if…


    In an unfathomably cold ice cer, a cluster of sparks suddenly appeared.


    With his eyes red from crying, he leaned over Luo Xiang, and urgently replied, “I’m here, Xiang. I am here.”


    Luo Xiang’s expression was nk.


    Her face had turned frightfully pale.


    If it weren’t for her open eyes, he would have thought Luo Xiang was already gone.


    She said, “Find a way to go back.”


    “Okay, we will find a way to go back. I can carry you; I will carry you back,” Yin Qin immediately tried to lift Luo Xiang up.


    After an entire night of running, both of them had reached their physical limits.


    At this moment, Yin Qin was also covered in wounds, unable to muster any strength.


    He gritted his teeth.


    “Leave me and go on your own,” said Luo Xiang.


    “No,” Yin Qin was resolute, “I will never leave without you!”


    “I will rest for a while, and then catch up with you. You go ahead first; I can move faster than you.”


    “Don’t lie to me, Luo Xiang. I know you won’te after me. I know you won’t be able to move. Don’t treat me like a three-year-old child, I won’t leave you, not even by a single step…”


    “I can’t hold on anymore,” Luo Xiang said.


    Her weak voice carried into Yin Qin’s ears.


    Yin Qin stared at her.


    Unbelievingly stared at her.


    How could Luo Xiang possibly not hold on?!


    Luo Xiang was awake now; she couldn’t possibly not hold on.


    Luo Xiang was holding herself back.


    At this moment, she had to strain every nerve just to stay conscious, not to close her eyes, and not topletely drift into sleep.


    “Xiang, don’t be afraid. I will get you out of here, believe me,” Yin Qin’s eyes welled up again, and he began crying bitterly.


    He held on to Luo Xiang’s body.


    He had to get her out of here.


    “Yin Qin,” Luo Xiang called his name.


    Her voice was so soft, so different from the Luo Xiang he knew.


    The old Luo Xiang wasn’t like this, not like this, seemingly on the verge of death.


    No.


    Luo Xiang cannot die.


    “Yin Qin, take good care of the little tiger…”


    “No! I swear, Luo Xiang, if you dare to die, I will send the little tiger to the orphanage, I will remarry and have children! I will make the little tiger an orphan, an orphan nobody wants!” Yin Qin said loudly.


    He said these words through tears.


    He didn’t want to hear Luo Xiang’sst words.


    He didn’t want to listen, not even for a second.


    Luo Xiang’s throat moved slightly.


    Yin Qin gritted his teeth as he lifted Luo Xiang from the ground.


    At that moment, he noticed arge amount of blood on the back of Luo Xiang’s head.


    Where Luo Xiang had been lying, there was a rock.


    Yin Qin’s heart squeezed.


    If it weren’t for Luo Xiang protecting him, it would’ve been him who hit that rock.


    He was the reason Luo Xiang ended up like this.


    It was his fault.


    Overwhelmed with guilt, Yin Qin crumbled, “Luo Xiang, why did you save me? Why did you sacrifice yourself to save me? Am I really worth it? Do I really deserve your sacrifice? Luo Xiang, how am I supposed to live the rest of my life, how am I supposed to go on…”


    At this moment, Luo Xiang really didn’t have much strength to talk.


    She felt that if she let out even a breath, she might… pass away.


    She just stared at the heart-wrenching sight of Yin Qin crying, seeming to feel no pain even though he was covered in wounds.


    She heard him say, “Luo Xiang, I’m not as great as you think. If you die, I can’t take care of the little tiger by myself, I can’t even face the little tiger. I don’t know how to exin to her that her mother died saving me… if you die, Luo Xiang, if you die, I admit that I won’t marry or have children, but I would choose to die with you. I will choose to die with you!”


    At that moment, Luo Xiang’s eyes also welled up with tears.


    But she really didn’t have any strength left.


    She didn’t even know how she’d managed to wake up. When she fell on top of Yin Qin and then fell to the ground, she had immediately thought that she would probably not survive.


    But to her surprise, she woke up again to hear Yin Qin’s heart-wrenching cries.


    After regaining consciousness, she was aware that her body was failing.


    Her head was spinning.


    Her consciousness was fading.


    This was the sensation of impending death. It was as if she could predict that she was about to die in the next second.


    Yin Qin was crying loudly.


    Crying loudly.


    He suddenly wiped his tears.


    He said, “Luo Xiang, I will carry you back.”


    Luo Xiang did not speak.


    She really couldn’t utter a word.


    Yin Qin squatted on the ground, using all his strength to hoist Xiang onto his back.


    He would take Xiang back with him.


    Neither of them would die.


    Carrying Xiang on his back, he painstakingly lifted her up. The only thought in his mind was to take Xiang home, he was determined to take her back.


    He walked.


    One step at a time.


    Struggling through the forest.


    At this moment, Luo Xiang was copsed on top of Yin Qin, utterly drained of strength.


    She didn’t close her eyes but continuously stared at Yin Qin’s jaw, watching his sweat and tears running down his cheeks.


    Luo Xiang tried hard to keep her eyes open, keep them open…


    Yin Qin walked for a very long time.


    He didn’t know where he ended up.


    It seemed as though the forest was endless, no matter how far he walked, he never emerged from it.


    But he kept going.


    Caring the load of Luo Xiang on his back, he would call her asionally, “Xiang.”


    Xiang would move her fingers slightly.


    To let him know that she was still alive.


    She was alive.


    As long as Luo Xiang was alive, he could keep going, even if his legs gave out.


    He never stopped moving forward.


    He didn’t know how long he walked.


    The sky was shining brightly.


    Everything was clear in that moment.


    Only then did he realize how vast the forest was, stretching out to the horizon.


    But Yin Qin didn’t even consider giving up; he carried Luo Xiang on his back and they kept walking forward.


    They kept walking.


    They had to exit, they would make it out.


    “Yin Qin, there is someone,” Luo Xiang suddenly called out to him.


    Yin Qin was startled.


    He quickly hid in the forest with Luo Xiang on his back.


    Shortly after.


    A person did pass by them.


    They were hidden underrge leaves, only able to see the person’s lower body.


    Yin Qin’s heart beat rapidly.


    The person was walking back and forth in front of them.


    If they were discovered…


    Luo Xiang suddenly handed Yin Qin her pistol.


    Yin Qin tensed up.


    He understood Luo Xiang’s meaning.


    He tried to suppress his emotions.


    He told himself not to panic.


    He cannot panic.


    He raised Luo Xiang’s pistol, ready to aim at the person in front of him…


    “Xiang?” A familiar voice called tentatively.


    At that moment, Yin Qin was even more excited than Luo Xiang.


    He suddenly emerged from the bushes, tears of relief streaming down his face as he looked at Wei Ziming in front of him.


    Seeing him there.


    Alive and well.


    He was so overjoyed his tears were streaming, all because he thought Xiang could be saved.


    Seeing Yin Qin’s state, Wei Ziming didn’t know what to say.


    A grown man, crying like a wailing ghost.


    Yin Qin grabbed his hand, “Wei Ziming, you finally arrived, you finally came, Xiang, Xiang…”


    Crying until he was out of breath, unable to speak clearly.


    “What happened to Xiang?” Wei Ziming’s heart flew into his throat.


    “She’s here, she’s here.” Yin Qin hurriedly said.


    Wei Ziming parted huge leafs aside.


    Luo Xiang’s face was pale.


    But luckily, she was still breathing.


    He hurried to crouch down, taking a Heart-protecting Pill from his pocket and cing it by Luo Xiang’s mouth.


    Luo Xiang bit it, but had no strength to swallow it.


    n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Seeing this, Wei Ziming urgently said, “Xiang, swallow it.”


    Luo Xiang’s throat moved slightly.


    The Heart-protecting Pill was a bitrge, and she couldn’t swallow it at all.


    Yin Qin was anxious too, he suddenly opened Xiang’s mouth, ced the pill in his own mouth to break it, then quickly transferred the crushed pill from his mouth into Xiang’s.


    Wei Ziming watched Yin Qin from the side.


    He had to admit, although the method was a bit… it was undoubtedly the best one.


    After awhile.


    Only when Yin Qin was sure that Xiang hadpletely swallowed all of the medicine did he break away from her lips.


    Wei Ziming said, “This can help maintain her heartbeat for some time. Let’s get out of here first.”


    With that, he hoisted Luo Xiang onto his back.


    Yin Qin hurriedly fell into step with Wei Ziming.


    “What about Ji Baijian?” Yin Qin asked Wei Ziming.


    Shouldn’t Wei Ziming be with Ji Baijian?


    Why did hee to find them?


    “After you got lostst night, we scattered. If everything went as nned, Ji Baijian and the rest should have escaped now,” Wei Ziming exined.


    That’s a relief.


    As long as they hadn’t burdened Ji Baijian, it was fine.


    “How did you find us?” Yin Qin was also surprised.


    They fell from such a height, how could he find them?


    “I followed the sound of gunshots, I looked around at the top and didn’t see you guys. I figured you must have fallen, so I made a little effort toe down here,” He replied.


    “Can we go up now?”


    “Yes.” Wei Ziming answered.


    He’d made a long rope out of vines and secured it before climbing down.


    During their time in the army, they often participated in survival exercises which emphasized self-rescue!


    So, they would always be prepared to escape!


    Now, Wei Ziming, carrying Xiang and along with Yin Qin, reached where he had left the rope made of vines.


    He told Yin Qin, “I will take Xiang up first, then I will drop the rope for you to climb up.”


    “Okay.”


    Yin Qin quickly replied.


    Right now, as long as Xiang could be saved, he would do anything, even eat shit!
