CHAPTER 1898: CHAPTER 1897: A WOMAN DRESSES FOR THE ONE SHE LOVES

Su Yang was stunned; he somewhat believed that the person in front of him was Jiang Zi’er.

All these poisons, stacked together, fighting poison with poison, might not kill but would indeed turn someone into this.

But why did she choose to do this?

"Why... why..." Su Yang looked at Jiang Zi’er, his voice trembling: "Who... who did this to you, who harmed you..."

The Pill Master, or rather Jiang Zi’er, looked at Su Yang in some surprise. Su Yang’s reaction was unexpected to her. Why were his eyes red? Were they that close?

"No one harmed me; I did it myself!" Jiang Zi’er said coldly.

"You did it yourself?" Su Yang was stunned again: "Why? Why?"

"Why?" Jiang Zi’er sneered: "If I didn’t do this, could I have infiltrated here? If I didn’t do this, would I be alive now? If I didn’t do this, could I investigate the Divine Master’s plans? If I didn’t do this, how... how could I find a chance to rescue the Su Alliance Leader..."

Su Yang’s heart trembled. He knew how important appearance was to a woman, especially such a beautiful girl. For many women, they would rather die than turn themselves into this.

Yet Jiang Zi’er turned herself into this. Although she said it was to survive, Su Yang knew that what she truly intended was to infiltrate and investigate the Divine Master’s plans or to save him. She had sacrificed so much for these things!

Seeing Su Yang not speak, Jiang Zi’er was also quite surprised internally. She frowned and said in a deep voice, "Alright, I’ve said what I needed to say. Now it’s your turn. You... do you also want to confront the Divine Master?"

Su Yang’s eyes unfocused; he trembled as he said, "What... what virtue or capability do I have to make you... make you make such a sacrifice..."

Jiang Zi’er was stunned in disbelief: "What are you saying? Who made a sacrifice for you?"

It was then Su Yang remembered he still appeared as Fang Zishu. He sighed lightly and said softly, "Zi’er, I’m sorry, I’m... I’m late."

"What on earth are you trying to say?" Jiang Zi’er said angrily, "What do you mean sorry? Are we that familiar?"

"I... I am Su Yang..." Su Yang said tremblingly.

"You... you..." Jiang Zi’er’s eyes widened, filled with horror and shock. After a long time, she suddenly spat and cursed: "You’re trying to trick me? You... you dare impersonate the Su Alliance Leader!"

"I really am Su Yang!" Su Yang said softly, "I disguised myself as Fang Zishu to come in and deal with the Divine Master."

Jiang Zi’er’s face was somewhat dazed, but quickly her eyes were filled with panic. She involuntarily retreated a few steps, hurriedly pulling down her cloak to cover her face, as if scared to let Su Yang see her face.

"You... you still want to deceive me..." Jiang Zi’er’s voice was full of panic: "You... you can’t be Su Yang, you’re not Su Yang, you... you’re absolutely not Su Yang..."

Su Yang looked at Jiang Zi’er’s expression; his heart was tormented. He understood that Jiang Zi’er didn’t want him to see her like this. Or perhaps Jiang Zi’er began to believe he was indeed Su Yang, which was why she started to panic and became afraid.

How would it feel for a woman to become like this and be seen by the man she loves?

"Zi’er, I’m sorry." Su Yang held Jiang Zi’er’s wrist. In fact, he knew the thoughts of this girl before him or even the other girls’ thoughts. But he pretended not to know because he already had Ye Wantong.

However, seeing Jiang Zi’er like this, seeing what she did, if there was still no trace of being moved in his heart, could he still be considered human?

"No matter what you become, it’s alright!" Su Yang said softly, "I have the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book, which contains the most complete secret techniques in the world. I will surely restore you!"

Jiang Zi’er, held by Su Yang, was in a haze again but quickly regained her senses. She hurriedly pulled her hand back, retreated further, and said with her head down, "You... are you really the Su Alliance Leader?"

Su Yang nodded slowly: "Everything will be fine; I’ll take you out of the World Melting Furnace at once. After this, I’ll never let anyone bully you again!"

Jiang Zi’er hung her head low, tears streaming down her face where Su Yang couldn’t see.

After a moment of silence, trying hard to calm her emotions, Jiang Zi’er said softly, "Su Alliance Leader, do... do you remember the secret technique you taught me back then?"

Su Yang nodded and recited that secret technique.

Jiang Zi’er’s body trembled again; she asked this to confirm Su Yang’s identity. Once Su Yang finished reciting the secret technique, she could completely confirm that the person before her was indeed Su Yang.

And, this realization made Jiang Zi’er’s heart ache to the extreme.

She had been in here for one or two years, had thought of countless possibilities, but all she thought about was how to get the information she had out, how to deliver it to Black Widow and the others, how they could figure out a way to rescue Su Yang and shatter the Divine Master’s plans. But she never imagined she would meet Su Yang.

She even thought she might die in this World Melting Furnace, perhaps unable to accomplish anything. But she never regretted what she had done. Her only wish was that her actions could be known to Su Yang, at least that Su Yang would remember her. Yet she would rather die than meet Su Yang in such a state.

But things didn’t go as she wished. She never expected Su Yang would enter here and even find her.

At this moment, her heart was truly delighted yet also pained. Delighted that Su Yang was finally free, that she could at least see him one more time. But pained that she met Su Yang in this appearance. She didn’t know what kind of impact it would have on his mind; she felt truly pained!

Su Yang looked at Jiang Zi’er again and comforted, "Zi’er, don’t think too much. I’ll cure you; it will be alright."

Jiang Zi’er’s heart was somewhat desolate; she clearly knew the condition of the poisons she had swallowed. To cure her was an impossible thing; she had never even considered such a possibility!

"Su Alliance Leader, you... did you come to investigate the Divine Master’s plan?" Jiang Zi’er changed the topic; she didn’t want Su Yang to see her tears, even less did she want him to know what she was thinking.

Su Yang then remembered his reason for coming here and nodded: "Indeed, the Divine Master is too mysterious. I came to see what exactly he is doing!"
