....

Suddenly she fell into a warm embrace.

A puff of white air struck the black-clothed man vigorously and terrifyingly, and their chest suddenly became bloody and fell to the ground, with blood rushing down.

In an instant life and death reversed, and Murong Ci was shocked and panted violently.

The black-clothed men's head tilted and they died in anger.

She found out that she was tightly embraced by him from behind her, with cold sweat and his wam chest on her back, which made her uncomfortable.

Murong Yu "held" her with his left arm just in front of her chest, and the place where the palm of his hand was placed was an important part.

Although it had been wrapped in layers of cloth, it still stirred up his reverie.

Between the electric light and flint, thousands of thoughts rushed through his mind, blood surging in his limbs.

She broke free in a panic, but he refused to let her go.

She was so annoyed that she lowered her voice and said,

"Won't you let go already?"

"If it weren't for me to save you in time, I'm afraid that you were already dead here."

He was blowing warm air in her ears, very ambiguously.

"What you do...makes people doubt my identity."

Murong Ci raised her foot and stepped hard on his foot.

Murong Yu muffled, and whispered:

"So what? Anyway, it's hard for us to get out of here."

His scorching breath sprayed around her ears, making her shrink, and although annoyed, she was helpless.

After a long while, he finally let go of his hand and spared her.

He then wiped the drop of blood off her cheek.

His behavior was so gentle and tender that it could made things melt.

Suddenly smoke spread out in the corners and cracks of the ceiling.

As she saw it, her expression changed drastically,

"Look!"

"It's poisonous gas.

It seems that the Young Master in golden clothes wants to poison us."

He narrowed his eyes, and burst out an eagle-like glow.

"What should we do?"

Murong Ci was unsure,

'Poisonous gas in a closed stone room means we'd definitely die.'

"Quickly tell me where the mechanism is, or you'll also die here too!"

She asked the two men in black clothes angrily.

The eyes of the two men were indifferent and hollow, and they looked like they were already dead.

She tried to convince them using psychological stress,

"You've worked hard for your Master, but what about him?

He's so quick to disregard your lives and leave you die!

As long as you tell where the mechanism is, you still have a chance to live."

Murong Yu whispered:

"Don't waste your efforts in vain.

They're already dead men and won't speak.

Furthermore, maybe they don't know where the mechanism is, or maybe there's no mechanism at all to get out of this secret room."

It was like a bolt from the blue!

Murongci was hit by grief and panic.

'Doesn't that mean that we're both going to die here?'

She looked at him bewilderedly, with her bright eyes gleaming with tears, and her familiar eyebrows were delicate and tender, arousing love.

His heart softened instantly, and he embraced her with one arm, and gently pressed her head with his big palm to comfort her.

The poisonous gas kept coming in, and the two men in black clothes who were already badly injured couldn't resist the effect of the poison.

Murong Ci became more and more uncomfortable, choking her nose hard, but suddenly thought that this man was wise and scheming, and there was no way he had come here with no plans.

'He must have thought of a plan to escape when entering the Linglong Pavilion.

How could he be easily calculated?'

"Do you have a solution?

What about your subordinates?

Will they rush in when they see us not coming out for so long?"

She held the last glimmer of hope, hoping to get his affirmative answer.

"Tonight, it's only us."

Murong Yu held her small face, rubbing her cheek with his thumb.

"Didn't you deploy your subordinates?

None of your subordinates knows that you came here tonight?"

"They don't know."

The last glimmer of hope was also lost, and her face was as gray as death, as if all the strength of her body was suddenly lost.

'It's over...!

I believed him too much and these are the consequences of it!

The hateful Murong Yu is so sloppy?'

He pulled her to the corner, with his deep black eyes gleaming, as if a wicked smile was condensed in the corner of his eyes,

"If we were to die here tonight, with you by my side accompanying me on the way to the other world, then it doesn't seem such a bad thing."

"I don't want to follow you to the other world!"

She pushed him angrily,

"I believed you so much, but you actually came here without planning anything...

I hate you...!

You get out of my way...

I'm going to find the mechanism by myself

......I don't want to——......"

"Mmhhhhh......!!"

She couldn't finish the sentence that Murong Yu attacked suddenly, grabbing her lips.
