Chapter 48: No regrets

"I treat men the best. I will give them whatever men need." Hong Haohao said again.

As the three women approached, Ruan Zhan saw that the walking posture between them was not normal. Ah Bai and Xiao Xia walked slightly forward, their movements were stiff and they seemed reluctant. Hong Haohao stood behind them, holding a spell in his left hand and pressing it on Ah Bai's shoulder with a bright sharp knife in his right hand against Xiao Xia's tender neck.

Seeing that Xiaoxia was being restrained, Ruan Zhan subconsciously took a step forward, but was immediately stopped by Hong Haohao.

"Stop!" She tilted her head, looked innocent, but her words were very cruel. "My Anan said you are very powerful, so I want to keep a distance from you. Unless you fall in love with someone else and become interested in me, then you don't have to care about the life or death of this woman."

She said as she pulled the sharp knife back, and the extremely sharp blade immediately made a blood mark appear on Xiao Xia's neck, which made Ruan Zhan so scared that he quickly retreated.

"Okay, I'll step back, I'll step back immediately, you can let her go!"

Seeing that the threat was effective, Hong Haohao couldn't help laughing, but he was not happy, but full of jealousy. Ruan Zhan treated Yue Xiaoxia as a treasure, and would rather suffer damage than be sad about his master. But why hasn't a man ever cherished her so much? Is she not beautiful enough or persistent enough?

When she thought of this, she went to see Sima Nan, but when she saw Sima Nan lowered her head, she didn't look at her direction. She understood that it was not for her, but for Ah Bai. The cruel and ruthless man in her mind did not dare to look up at a woman who had been dead for many years, his ex-wife!

Looking at Ruan Zhan and Yue Xiaoxia again, they have been looking at each other since they met. Although Yue Xiaoxia and Abai have been sealed by her, her eyes and Ruan Zhan are always gentle and entangled, and deep love and care do not require verbal communication at all.

At this moment, in Hong Haohao's eyes, the world is so small that it is condensed into this small space, and there are only four people in this space, she is the redundant one!

Jealousy, sadness, and self-pity, these three emotions were mixed in her heart, which made her suddenly feel angry and used heavy techniques to Xiaoxia and Abai, which made them both groan in pain, and also made the two men scream in distress at the same time, "Stop!" and then glared at her.

Hong Hao giggled, "Did you finally realize my existence?" She asked in a frivolous tone, but in a sad tone.

Ruan Zhan didn't say anything, and suddenly felt that Hong Haohao was a pitiful and hateful woman. She just wanted men to pay attention to her and love her, but she never thought that love and respect did not come from color and force.

Since Hong Haohao showed up with Xiao Xia and A Bai, his heart has been extremely chaotic. On the one hand, he was very happy that Hong Hao came, because it meant that the possibility of survival in Wanli would increase; on the other hand, he was very worried about this situation. Finally, he subdued Sima Nan, but Sima Nan's accomplices appeared with two other hostages, and one of them was something he could not afford to lose.

Is this the second mistake he made tonight? He just wanted Ah Bai to take Xiao Xia away from the battlefield. Unexpectedly, Hong Haohao, who came out from the road, would intercept them, and put them in danger!

He couldn't help but look at Xiaoxia again, and saw that although she looked haggard, she didn't care about her situation at all, but just looked at him anxiously and distressedly. He understood that she was worried about his injuries, because he must look miserable now. Fortunately, they could communicate with each other and let him keep conveying gentle feelings to her, telling her not to worry, everything will be fine.

Pressing on his impulse to stare at Xiaoxia, Ruan Zhan faced Hong Haohao, "How are you doing Wanli?"

"Is he?" Hong Haohao deliberately dragged his voice, "He was killed by me!"

Judging from her expression, Ruan Zhan knew that she was telling lies. What he was worried about was whether she had drawn the deadly blood mark on Wanli.

"You forgot Sima Nan's orders and did not mark him!" He deceited and waited for Hong to answer well with anxiety.

Unexpectedly, Hong's good reaction appeared exactly as he expected. Her face turned pale and she said angrily, "Who cares about the life and death of that bastard, please let go of my Anan first!"

Ruan Zhan couldn't help but smile because Hong's good expression told him that Wanli's chances of survival were very high. In this way, he just needed to worry about this side, without being pressured on both sides.

"Why are you laughing?" Hong Hao glared at him, "Let my Anan be released soon, or I will kill these two women!"

"Your Anan?" Ruan Zhan looked at Hong Hao with a sarcastic look. He also studied psychology, and he could also see that Hong Haohao's fear and dependence on Sima Nan, as well as his concerns and provocations to Abai, "Are you sure he is yours, not Abai's?"

"Stop it! Otherwise I will really kill this woman!" Hong Hao screamed, his eyes full of fear of being abandoned, "Don't think I dare not!"

Seeing her excited, Ruan Zhan was afraid that she would hurt Xiaoxia due to irrationality, so he quickly made a gesture of comforting her, and then turned his face to Sima Nan, "Do you have the face to let me 'let' you out? Do you have the face to explain to Ah Bai why you treat her so well?"

Sima Nan kept lowering his head after hearing Hong Hao's good voice. He knew that Ah Bai was in this empty city, but he never thought that the two would meet in this situation, so the sudden accident made him unable to face it, so he had to adopt the ostrich policy. However, Hong Haohao suddenly attacked Xiao Xia and Ah Bai just now, and Ah Bai's painful hum made him subconsciously look for her shadow, but he suddenly fell into her eyes that looked like a pool of gentle autumn water.

Ah Bai was not as excited as Xiao Xia, just stood there quietly, but it was her non-speaking, neither happy nor angry that made Sima Nan constantly question her heart.

Looking at each other, the past is coming to my heart like a tide. The little bits and pieces of life in the mountains and forests, the blurry shadows in the dreams at midnight, and the light smile instantly filled his chest, making him speechless.

No one has ever been so kind to him, and so without regrets; no one has ever existed in his cold and dark inner world; no one has ever preserved the most gentle and pure feelings in his eyes at this moment after being hurt by him; no one has never resisted even though he knew his hypocrisy and deception, and allowed him to push her into the endless abyss!

Who says weakness is the easiest to defeat? When something develops to the extreme, it will transform into the opposite side, just like Ah Bai's gentleness and fragility have become his most invincible thing!

The most vulnerable is the strongest! He imprisoned her soul, but she imprisoned his heart!

"Anan! Ask Ruan Zhan to let you go!" Hong urged.

Hong screamed like a sharp arrow, piercing Sima Nan's body, causing him to start to surge in his heart to be smashed again. His whole body was shocked, and his eyes were forcibly moved away from Abai's eyes, and his heart was hardened. He had let her down, and he didn't have to be afraid of letting her down again! He had his own lofty goals and had to achieve his goal. It was his lifelong wish. He had suffered so much for this goal for countless years, and he also harmed countless people. He was about to succeed. He could not give up, and he could not let anyone stop him!

"Listen to her, let me go!" He yelled hoarsely, "You have helpers, and I have them too, we're even!"

Ruan Zhan looked at him quietly, and was silent for several seconds before saying, "I look down on you."

He spoke so seriously that Sima Nan was so ashamed that he dared to look directly at him, but the greed, desire and humiliation that followed made him grit his teeth and said, "Boy, you are speaking with your strength these days. Only the strong have the right to despise all living beings! Look down on me? You are not worthy!"

Hong Hao listened to Sima Nan's words, and understood that he was still on the same front with him. When he saw that he stopped staring at Abai, he was extremely excited and shouted, "Ruan Zhan, you can't let Anan go, but if you don't let him go, your girlfriend's life will come to an end! I'll let you choose for yourself, you have to think clearly! I'll count three times, if you don't make a decision, I'll kill her! I'll do what I say! One, two--"

Ruan Zhan did not look in Xiaoxia, but still felt a voice in his heart trying hard to stop him from making the choice to sacrifice himself. But how could he watch her die in front of him? In that way, even if he is still alive, his world will continue to return to the darkness again.

Without hesitation, he stepped into the tower, picked up Sima Nan and threw it outside the tower.

"Your psychic energy will recover quickly, and no rope can trap you." He said coldly, with the arrogance of the winner, as if Sima Nan lost the key battle, "I hope the rope in your heart can be untied by yourself!"

He could see clearly that Sima Nan did not dare to look at Abai, which proved that he felt guilty towards her, and he could even say that he had a little affection!

With a "bang", Sima Nan's super strength allowed him to get rid of the restrictions on movement faster than Ruan Zhan imagined. The moment he could move freely, he immediately stretched out his finger and drew a flower-like talisman, waved his hand to Ruan Zhan's chest, causing him to hit the bronze bell behind him, and spit out a mouthful of blood, and could no longer move.

"Ruan Zhan!" The strong emotional stimulation made Xiaoxia suddenly break through the verbal confinement and scream. She struggled desperately, but although Hong Haohao was slender, his hands were so strong that he was afraid of people. He clamped her like iron pliers, making her unable to get rid of it at all.

The moment she saw Ruan Zhan, his tired, haggard and scarred appearance had already made her angina pectoris. Now, seeing him lying on the ground motionless, she felt even more heartbroken. Only at this moment did she deeply understand what it means to be heartbreaking, and to experience the state of mind in true love that is willing to live, die for him, and bear all the sufferings for him.

"Ruan Zhan, how are you doing? Don't scare me! Get up!" She shouted Ruan Zhan's name loudly, tears rushing on her face.

"Seal her mute hole, she makes me upset." Sima Nan frowned and ordered.

"I can't help it!" Hong Haohao was a little embarrassed. She controlled Yue Xiaoxia with one hand and Abai with the other. Now she has no ability to do one more thing with one hand.

She was lucky to be able to catch them! When she heard what Wanli said and decided to go to Xinzhen to see the situation and fight for her own interests, she found that the barrier outside the town was not broken, making it impossible for her to enter. She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and she circled around the town for several times, but the barrier suddenly disappeared. As soon as she entered the town, she saw Abai and Yue Xiaoxia hiding in an empty shop.

She heard that Ah Bai was also an extraordinary person during her lifetime, so she approached their place carefully and cautiously. Seeing that these two women were not talking, but were worried, she immediately realized that the fight between the men over there must have not stopped, and they ran aside to avoid disaster.

This made her feel evil, so she took advantage of Ah Bai's unpreparedness to control the two women, sealed their mute holes, treated them as hostages, and helped Sima Nan at the most critical moment!

In this way, Sima Nan will realize her value and know that she is the one who is most loyal to him, so that he will not abandon her!

"Bause!" Sima Nan did not express any gratitude to her, but cursed ruthlessly, then pointed at Xiao Xia for a moment. He didn't know what method he used, so Xiao Xia couldn't make a sound immediately, and he couldn't even move.

"Let her go!" He continued to give orders, saying in a mocking tone, "You can't keep your word. Since you let Ruan Zhan choose, he made the choice too!"

Hong Haohao let go of Xiaoxia. On the surface, they kept their promises, but in fact they did not change the status quo at all. Xiaoxia was as unmoved as a wood at this time, and letting go of her was no different from not letting go. She could become a hostage again at any time.

Ruan Zhan slowly climbed up and leaned on the bronze bell. Every time he breathed, he felt very painful and difficult. He understood that with his injuries, even if the tower could not absorb his spiritual power, he could not turn over. In this battle, he tried his best and worked hard, but frequent accidents still lost to Sima Nan.

He is really tired, not only because of his tiring life, but even these recent battles, which one is not hard-working, and which one is not something that requires him to work hard to defeat the strong with the weak?! Today he finally couldn't hold on anymore, and he couldn't turn the scene around again, and he was already trampled to his feet!

However, Xiao Xia was still there, looking at him with tears on his face, how could he let her go without hesitation? How could he bow to Sima Nan in front of her? He wanted to save her, he wanted to make her safe, as long as she could go out alive, but what should I do?

If it really doesn't work, he can only commit suicide! As long as he doesn't die at the hands of Sima Nan, as long as he is faster than Sima Nan, he will have a chance to save his soul. If the soul is not driven away by Sima Nan, he can rescue Xiaoxia! Even if they are separated forever at that time, at least, he is still in her heart. At least, he can still love her, protect her, and stay by her side silently.

Ah Bai, Sima Nan will not be hurt, he is extremely sure of this. He can no longer use magic weapons after he dies, and he will ask Zuode to destroy them. Although those magic weapons are powerful, he does not have the ability to cultivate them into things that follow his heart, so their current appearance is just ordinary objects for mortals, and it is easy to destroy them.

All the way out has been thought of. When he had no choice, he chose to end his life to protect Xiaoxia! There was nothing to hesitate. He would never regret this choice!

"Let her go!" Sima Nan said to Hong again.

This time, he didn't look back, but Hong understood who he was referring to?

She was a little unwilling to accept it, but she did not dare to disobey. Fortunately, after letting go of Yue Xiaoxia, her pressure dropped sharply, so she used heavy hands to seal her when she let go of Ah Bai, allowing her to continue like a tree and stone.

She did this, as powerful and smart as Sima Nan, would not know, but he did not stop it. This made Hong Haohao realize for a moment that he was willing to let himself do this. He was trapped in the bond of emotions and could not pull it out. She needed her to cut off the involvement for him!

Because Abai is his knot in his heart and his only weakness. If Abai, who has been silent and does not struggle, joins the battle, the situation will be unpredictable. She hopes that Sima Nan will kill everyone here and destroy all the souls here, so that they will return to the past.
