Chapter 974: Mengmeng, Don’t Be Afraid, I Am Here .

The vines didn’t break but slashed open Gu Mengmeng’s hands .

Thereafter, the vine in her hands rapidly withered and the red juices seeped into the wounds on Gu Mengmeng’s palms and entered her body .

Gu Mengmeng was stunned by the sudden change . She didn’t know if it was a good or bad sign .

She could only open up her hands and watch the red vine slowly lose its color, as the juices all leached into her body .

Gu Mengmeng could feel an immense energy enter her body, challenging the endurance limits of her physical self .

In the end, only the three chrysalis were left in red .

“Ah…!” Gu Mengmeng hollered as she endured the surging waves of pain in her body .

At that instant, the three vine chrysalis burst open .

A black shadow charged towards Gu Mengmeng and firmly caught her in his embrace . Kissing her on the forehead, his heart ached for her fatigued and distressed expression . He said in a low voice, “Xiao Meng, everything is fine now, everything is fine…”

Wabei also reached Gu Mengmeng’s side at the same time as Elvis . He stood quietly behind Gu Mengmeng, his lips pressed firmly together .

Meanwhile, Lea was not as strong as Elvis and Wabei, and he was the first to be engulfed in the vine chrysalis . Hence, he was the weakest at the moment .

Like Elvis, he also wanted to use the last of his strength to charge towards Gu Mengmeng . Even if he died, he wanted to die in her arms .

Unfortunately, the mind was willing, but the body was weak .

His final ounce of strength was used to break through the vine chrysalis .

“Lea… Lea…”

After the vine chrysalis engulfed them, the leaves became extremely sharp and Lea’s body was full of cuts all over . Although he was well-versed in medicine and had taken precautionary measures to protect the crucial arteries in his body, he was still ravaged by the leaves and drenched in blood .

He heard Gu Mengmeng calling him so he gritted his teeth and forced a smile as he slowly hobbled towards her .

Step by step…

Gu Mengmeng was already sobbing incoherently by the time he finally stood before her .

Lea got down on one knee and gently caressed Gu Mengmeng’s face . “Mengmeng, don’t be afraid, I am here . ”

Gu Mengmeng was already drifting out of consciousness . The last image she saw was a blood-like liquid erupting from behind Lea and shooting towards herself like a thousand needles .

Darkness descended and Gu Mengmeng fainted .

It was all good as long as Elvis and Lea were fine .

If she had to die, so be it .

Anyway, she would only be a burden to them .

They would probably live better lives without having to put up with her stubbornness…

Someone by her ear kept calling her name . But she was unable to open her fatigued eyes . Her entire body sank downwards in a fetal-like position, as if she was a baby floating in its mother’s womb .

Absolute quiet . It was a quiet that made one feel suffocated .

Even the vestiges of time were unable to make the tiniest ripple here .

After an indeterminate amount of time, Gu Mengmeng finally opened her eyes . It was just a slight flutter of her lashes but this tiny movement was like a magical balm to the emotions churning in the hearts of Elvis and Lea .

The two males had been nearly driven mad, but they finally felt some relief now . They each held onto one of Gu Mengmeng’s hands, feeling as if they just received a new lease in life .
