Chapter 345: Please, Please You

Yunyao only felt her legs trembling wildly due to extreme fatigue. Although she had undergone more training than the average person, carrying a man over such a long distance was still quite strenuous for her.

Xu Qian and Yan Zhichun accompanied her to the entrance of "Tian Tang Kou."

Today's guards were Lao Lv and Xiao Jing. The two of them spotted Yunyao right away and were instantly startled. She was covered in blood, and on her back was a man drenched in red, who, judging by the amount of blood, seemed beyond saving.

"Yunyao, what happened to you?" Lao Lv asked with concern.

"I'm fine; the one who's injured is Chen Junnan," Yunyao shouted anxiously. "Quickly, get a doctor and prepare something to stop the bleeding!"

After hearing this, Lao Lv turned and dashed into the teaching building. The skinny Xiao Jing stepped forward and carefully examined Chen Junnan on Yunyao's back.

It wasn't long before he shook his head. The man's condition was simply too dire.

"Yunyao, there's no point in trying to save this man anymore," Xiao Jing said regretfully. "Even if you manage to stop the bleeding, he won't recover in the time he has left. It would only add to his suffering. Better to let him go peacefully."

Yunyao's eyes turned cold as she replied slowly, "His pain doesn't concern me, but I absolutely cannot let this man die. He defeated the Di She, and I need to use him to prove to everyone that it's possible to survive after challenging a Di Ji 'Shengxiao'."

Xiao Jing was slightly taken aback, sensing an odd sense of obsession in Yunyao.

"You said he defeated a 'Di Ji'?"

"That's right. Chu Tianqiu couldn't lead us to do it all these years, but he did." Yunyao wiped the fine sweat from her forehead and shook the head of the Di She in her hand. "You can tell what this is from, can't you?"

Xiao Jing narrowed his eyes and looked at it. Of course, he could see it was the head of a Di Ji "Shengxiao," but who exactly was this Chen Junnan?

How had he managed something like this?

Xu Qian looked up at the school, realizing that this organization was much larger than they had imagined.

Yan Zhichun moved her lips slightly. "Tian Tang Kou..."

"I'm here!" Lao Lv returned with two young men, carrying a long bench. "Hurry! Lay him down! I just checked, and there's a Doctor Zhao here who might be able to save him!"

Xu Qian helped Yunyao lower Chen Junnan onto the bench, and the group quickly carried him toward Doctor Zhao's room.

After a few jolts, Chen Junnan slowly opened his eyes. His pupils looked unfocused, and it took him a while to blink and gaze at the dark red sky.

"Wait..." he said weakly. "Hold on a second..."

"What is it?" Lao Lv asked urgently. "You're in critical condition, kid. Don't talk."

"I said wait..." Chen Junnan reached out with all his strength and grabbed Lao Lv's sleeve. "Buddy, make them stop..."

"What are you doing?" Lao Lv frowned. "Do you want to die, kid?"

"I need to... take a piss..." Chen Junnan managed a bitter smile. "There are all women here... it's not convenient..."

"You're in this state and still worrying about pissing?" Lao Lv scolded. "Just go in your pants, you brat!"

"No way..." Chen Junnan summoned all his energy to sit up and gestured with his hand. "Big brother, I know you're a good guy, but let me handle this first..."

"Tsk... you stubborn young fool..." Lao Lv sighed helplessly and signaled the two young men to stop. He turned to the women and said, "Uh... you three, step away for a bit. This kid insists on going."

The three women stopped and watched as the blood-soaked Chen Junnan.

He staggered to his feet and stumbled toward the rotting pile of corpses on the playground.

"Kid, let me help you..." Lao Lv worriedly grabbed Chen Junnan's arm, only to be shaken off.

"No need, buddy. I can handle this myself."

Chen Junnan waved him off and slowly made his way alone toward the corpse heap.

Yunyao shook her head and rubbed her legs, having heard the bell ring earlier, signaling the end of her "Qiang Yun." But now that they were in Tian Tang Kou's territory, Yan Zhichun probably wouldn't cause trouble.

"Say..." Yan Zhichun smiled at Yunyao, "he's going to relieve himself—aren't you going with him?"

Yunyao looked up, her brows furrowing slightly. "Is that necessary?"

"Isn't he important to you?" Yan Zhichun continued. "After hearing what you said earlier, I thought you were smart, but you're being awfully careless."

"What...?"

Yunyao blinked, processing Yan Zhichun's words, then turned to look at Chen Junnan. She saw him reach the corpse pile, lean on Qiao Jia Jin's body for a moment, and then pick up a stone from the ground.

"Oh no..."

Just as Chen Junnan raised the stone to smash it against his own forehead, Yunyao suddenly appeared and grabbed his arm tightly.

"Hey! Chen Junnan!" she called out. "What are you doing?"

"Ah...?" Chen Junnan turned his head dazedly. "What do you mean? Move aside, big star... I want to die..."

"You can't die!" Yunyao snatched the stone from his hand and threw it far away. "You barely survived the Di She's domain—how can you just give up like this?"

"You..." Chen Junnan looked utterly exhausted. He bent over, hands on his knees, gasping for breath. "Big star... you're making this hard for me... I just want to find a quiet spot to die on my own..."

His voice grew fainter and fainter, almost inaudible.

"I haven't troubled anyone, have I?" he said, his voice trembling. "I'm in so much pain... I don't want to live another minute. I just want to die next to my brother..."

"You—you can't die," Yunyao insisted stubbornly.

"Please..." Chen Junnan's lips quivered. "Let me go... please..."

Yunyao's eyes showed a hint of sadness, but she still held onto his arm firmly. "Chen Junnan... I understand you're in pain, but I'm sorry—I really can't let you die."

"Are you not listening...?" Chen Junnan's eyes began to lose focus. "Looks like I've run into another bully..."

"Lao Lv!" Yunyao stared at Chen Junnan, her face expressionless as she shouted. "He's done. Quickly take him to stop the bleeding!"

"Ah... got it!"

Lao Lv and the two young men rushed over, lifted Chen Junnan back onto the bench, and carried him toward the teaching building.

As Yunyao stood there in a daze, Yan Zhichun stepped forward and said to her, "Well, now that we're here, aren't you going to invite us in for a seat?"
