Ouyang Xueqing was seized by a strong force of suffocating feeling that she couldn't do anything but nod lightly. Tears blurred her eyes. She could see it, no matter how he hide. She could see how he had forcefully swallowed the blood on his throat so that she didn't have to worry. She could see how his complexion grew paler and paler with each day.
She could see how his life force was hanging by a thread.
He was dying.
Her beloved master was dying because of her.
He caressed her head in the attempt to pacify her but it made her guilt grow heavier to the point where it almost swallowed her whole. She hugged his lean and strong arm and muttered. "I will definitely get the dragon core for you, Master." No matter what it took, no matter what she should do, she would save him.
Mo Yujian chuckled and hugged her tighter. "Then I will be depending on you, my little pup."
