Chapter 2268 - 2269: Why Not Become Stronger?

Her life is slipping away!

Ye Xunhuan, upon hearing these words, felt as if another bomb had exploded in his mind, leaving him completely stunned, his consciousness in chaos.

Although Michelle spoke very tactfully, saying Olivia’s life was slipping away, Ye Xunhuan knew the truth was that Olivia’s life was slowly disappearing!

After a brief chaos in his mind, Ye Xunhuan gradually snapped back to reality and stared at Michelle, saying, "What’s really going on?"

"She performed the forbidden art of the bloodline," Michelle said helplessly. "It’s a forbidden ritual based on life sacrifice!"

The Church and the bloodline have clashed for thousands of years. They know each other’s capabilities very clearly, and the same goes for the bloodline knowing what the Church is capable of.

Just now, when Olivia was fighting the king, Michelle knew Olivia might end up like this afterwards.

"What’s happening?" Ye Xunhuan shouted forcefully.

"It’s okay, don’t worry. I’ll be fine after a rest. Besides, we of the bloodline have strong vitality..."

At this moment, Olivia seemed very weak, her voice sounded feeble.

"Michelle, tell me?"

"Olivia, although we are adversaries, and I dislike you, I respect you very much." Michelle didn’t immediately answer Ye Xunhuan, but instead spoke to Olivia: "However, now I think, it’s better if he knows."

Saying this, Michelle turned her gaze to Ye Xunhuan: "Just now, when you were injured, Olivia performed the forbidden art, causing her strength to surge dramatically in a short period, but all was paid with life!"

"In other words, burning her own life. The bloodline’s life is long, but it can’t withstand such burning, especially using Cain’s left hand." Michelle said solemnly: "If there’s no solution, she will die!"

"At best, she’ll turn into an old woman!"

Michelle sighed heavily, her face full of helplessness.

Even though in Europe, Michelle and Olivia were from opposing factions, this time Michelle couldn’t help but admire Olivia’s courage.

After all, Olivia almost completely sacrificed herself to protect Ye Xunhuan.

If she dies, that’s one thing, but if she lives on without youth, while the man she loves remains a dashing young man, would she still appear before him?

For a woman, no one is indifferent to her appearance; otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people spending money on cosmetic surgery.

"Is what she said true?"

Ye Xunhuan’s body began to tremble uncontrollably, and his voice too, despite him trying hard to suppress the quiver in his tone, it was undeniable.

Olivia glanced at Ye Xunhuan: "It’s nothing; don’t listen to her nonsense..."

Seeing Olivia’s denial, Michelle didn’t say more, after all, she too was a woman and could understand Olivia’s inner thoughts.

Although Olivia denied it, Ye Xunhuan didn’t believe her: "How can you be so foolish, you..."

At this moment, Ye Xunhuan’s heart was filled with self-blame, guilt, and regret.

Originally, these events had nothing to do with Olivia, and if it weren’t for him, Olivia would still be the strongest among the top ten underground world overlords, living an infinitely glorious life in Europe, traveling leisurely.

But because of him, she got caught in a storm that was never hers.

At this moment, Ye Xunhuan craved power immensely.

With fists not hard enough, how could he protect his beloved, how could he protect those who care about him?

Just then, Jue Tian suddenly spoke: "Let me take her!"

Jue Tian’s remarks made everyone’s eyes almost simultaneously fall on him.

"You... can save her?" Ye Xunhuan appeared very excited, asking Jue Tian.

"I don’t know!" Jue Tian said softly: "But I think I have more ways than you, and if she goes with me, there’s a fifty percent chance, staying here with you has no chance!"

"Okay, I’ll hand Olivia over to you, you must heal her..."

Ye Xunhuan agreed without any hesitation.

Ye Xunhuan knew clearly, just as Jue Tian said, if Olivia followed him, there was a glimmer of hope, whereas staying here with Ye Xunhuan meant no hope at all.

Jue Tian nodded: "I’ll try my best!"

Afterward, Jue Tian said no more and left with Olivia.

"If I want to find you, where should I go?"

"The capital, in front of your mother’s grave!"

Jue Tian replied without looking back.

With Jue Tian taking Olivia away, Ye Xunhuan and the others didn’t linger here but left as well, leaving the bodies to be burned by a fire.

As for this task, it was handed to the Demon King to handle.

After leaving here, Ye Xunhuan went straight to Xiahao Yunting’s house rather than anywhere else.

Given the proximity to Xiahao’s home, it was the most suitable place to rest right now.

On the way, Ye Xunhuan’s mood remained low.

Which was understandable, as no one had expected Olivia to end up like this, nor did they manage to kill the king.

This time, Ye Xunhuan suffered a complete defeat, and if it hadn’t been for that handkerchief, Ye Xunhuan and the king would’ve been mutually destructive.

Ye Xunhuan experienced a crushing defeat, and the king didn’t plan to let Ye Xunhuan off easily, only spared him due to that handkerchief, allowing him to peacefully celebrate the New Year, with the reckoning postponed until afterward.

Thus, Ye Xunhuan was stable for now, but lurking beneath this stability was a brewing storm, perhaps even more terrifying.

Everyone could feel Ye Xunhuan’s poor mood, so no one disturbed him.

They all knew clearly that Ye Xunhuan needed to be calm right now!

Meanwhile, after parting ways with Olivia and Ye Xunhuan, Jue Tian hadn’t walked far when he encountered a middle-aged man holding a jade flute.

"You... you..."

"You’re hurt!" The middle-aged man seemed to be deliberately waiting for Jue Tian and Olivia, ignoring Jue Tian and focusing his gaze on Olivia: "Come with me!"

"Do you... really have a way to save me..." Olivia said excitedly.

The middle-aged man chuckled lightly: "Why not say, I can make you stronger?"
