Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 678 Shared Life and Death (2)_1

"Grandpa, Grandfather, this place is very dangerous, even more dangerous than the outside. We could die at any moment. Are you still willing to follow me?" Shangguan You spoke again, her tone grave, her gaze sweeping over the Young Masters of the four great families.

"Girl, we’re all old bones now. If we can fight a glorious battle before we die, we’ll have no regrets."

"That’s right. Our two families feuded over Mengjie for a lifetime, angry with each other for just as long. Now, for Mengjie’s sake, it’s as if we’ve returned to how things once were," Shangguan Zhi and Lin Wenbo exchanged glances, a smile shared between them.

"Are all of you prepared? Anyone who regrets this can leave at any time with the others who have already departed." Shangguan You scanned the people around her. The bodies of the Lin Family and Shangguan Family members have been transformed by Lin Mengjie. The Young Masters of the four great families are undoubtedly strong, and the Qi Family’s grandfather and grandson likely have the ability to survive there. Ye Er Shao certainly won’t be an issue.

"’Girl, I will accompany you,’ Shangguan Qing said, his smile gentle. ’Miss, Zhuge Feng’s life is yours.’ Zhuge Feng smiled as well; Finally, I can share life and death with Miss! ’Shangguan You, if we survive this great disaster, would you marry me, Bai Muxue? Would you be willing to become the Young Madam of the Bai Family?’ Bai Muxue’s white robe billowed, tracing a graceful arc in the air as he gazed at Shangguan You, his smile like a spring breeze."

"’Shangguan You, if we survive this, would you be willing to become my wife?’ Fang Jianfei, not to be outdone, quickly added. For a long time now, an inexplicable affection for Shangguan You had been slowly blossoming within him."

"’Uh, if we all survive, I’ll consider it,’ Shangguan You said with a smile, cutting Li Zhaolei off before he could speak. Are they making veiled confessions now, when the path ahead is so uncertain?" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"’Take these first. I’ll be right down.’ Shangguan You vanished in a flash, leaving several bottles of medicine in Shangguan Qing’s hand. In the next instant, she was already in the room on the second floor."

Gazing at the figure on the bed, at Ye San Shao’s still, sculpted features, Shangguan You smiled. She sat quietly by the bed, her hands gently caressing him. "Ye San Shao, if you don’t wake up now, you’ll never get another chance. I’m quite popular these days. Not only do I have Yu Zifeng, but Bai Muxue and Fang Jianfei also just confessed to me."

"’So, go on, keep sleeping. By the time you wake up, my child will probably already be born!’ Shangguan You said with a hint of playful exasperation. After one last deep look at Ye San Shao, she used Teleportation and was back in the main hall."

With a LOUD BANG, the entire house shook violently again.

"’Get ready! No matter what you see, I need you to calm down quickly. If you can’t keep up with me, then stay here,’ Shangguan You declared loudly. With a sweep of her hands, the smooth floorboards split apart at a visible speed, revealing a pathway leading deep into the earth before everyone’s eyes."

Everyone’s eyes widened. They stood motionless, watching a scene that seemed to come straight from a television show, gazing at Shangguan You as she led the way into the passage like a queen. Ye Er Shao’s figure followed swiftly, like a shadow. Next came the Young Masters of Hidden World Village, then Shangguan Hao and his two sons, with Liu Ruoling and Li Lan close behind. "Girl, wait for us! Don’t even think about leaving us behind!" Lin Wenbo shouted, hurrying to follow. The Qi Family’s grandfather and grandson went last. The tan-colored space around them continually shifted, transporting them downwards as if they were in an elevator descending through the earth’s layers.

"’Grandpa, Grandfather, you must be prepared. If you’re not up to it, I can send you out right now,’ Shangguan You said again, her voice laced with concern as she looked at her grandfathers. It wasn’t too late yet, but if they went any further, she wouldn’t be able to protect every one of them."

"’Girl, we’re men who came from the battlefield. Do you think we’d be afraid?’ Shangguan Zhi laughed heartily. Everything he was witnessing overturned his previous understanding of the world, but if even his own granddaughter wasn’t afraid, how could he be?"

"’Girl, let’s go. Mengjie might be getting anxious waiting for us,’ Lin Wenbo said softly, shaking his head slightly. He was eager to see his daughter, the Guardian. Even though the memories were forcefully implanted, Lin Mengjie was still his most beloved daughter; that was something no one could change."

"’Mm,’ Shangguan You nodded, a deep warmth enveloping her heart. No matter what, she wasn’t alone; her family was with her. Someone gently patted her shoulder. Ye Er Shao’s usually cold eyes now held a touch of tenderness, silently comforting her. ’Young Master will wake up.’"

"’Yes, I know. Thank you.’ Shangguan You nodded. With a wave of her hands, the earth beneath everyone’s feet began to move more rapidly. As they delved deeper into the strata, the tremors from within the earth intensified."

"’Alright, everyone grab your things. Bai Muxue, Zhuge Feng, Fang Jianfei, Li Zhaolei—the four of you possess superior abilities. You’ll be responsible for coordinating with the members of the Lin and Shangguan Families. Big Brother Qing, you’re in charge of working with Elder Qi and Qi Zhuolan. Li Lan, I’m entrusting my aunt’s safety to you.’"

Shangguan You quickly gave her instructions. As soon as she finished speaking, her body merged with the surrounding earth, swiftly passing through the layers of soil and disappearing from everyone’s sight.

Ye Er Shao’s figure quickly followed. The space, which could initially only accommodate a few people, began to expand rapidly before their very eyes. The entire area magnified infinitely. Even the loose soil surrounding them was instantly frozen by a thick layer of ice, sealing it off into another solid, fortified chamber.

Meanwhile, from the very earthen wall Shangguan You had just vanished into, countless insects of all kinds began to swarm out, crawling rapidly from the mud and viscously attacking each other.

Their originally small bodies also began to grow at an alarming rate.

"’You must defend this place! Don’t let any of these creatures get out, or the entire world will be destroyed by them! More importantly, do not let them get close to you, or you’ll become their food, or end up like the second Ye Er Shao! They’re afraid of fire. I’ve given you medicinal powder and guns that can be used against them. You absolutely must be careful!’"
