Shen Chuwei clutched the hem of her clothes, nervous beyond measure. She feared not leaping herself and having him go back to look for Xiao Jinyan, or that he would simply push her off. Either way, she was terrified.

"But I don’t have the courage to jump."

The masked man was unyielding as he said, "If you don’t jump, I will kill him."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chuwei knew the masked man meant business; if she didn’t jump, he would certainly go back for Xiao Jinyan.

She wasn’t the type of person who wasn’t afraid of death. Jumping from such a height truly required a lot of courage.

"Then push me off. It’s too high, I really don’t have the courage to jump."

Being pushed was different, though she was afraid, at least it wouldn’t be her own decision.

The masked man took a step forward, scaring Shen Chuwei to instinctively step back. Was he really about to push her off?

The masked man leaned in slightly, looking at her like a frightened little deer, and curled his lips into a sinister, shallow smile. "You must jump yourself."

Shen Chuwei took a deep breath. It seemed she couldn’t escape the act of sacrificing herself for her loved one.

But she was genuinely afraid of dying.

In her Space, there were still many snacks uneaten. She would never see Xiao Jinyan again, nor the Taosu babies.

It felt like the sky was collapsing.

Seeing her hesitate, the masked man threatened again, "I’ll count to three. If you don’t jump, I’ll go kill him immediately."

Shen Chuwei looked up at the masked man close by, her heartbeat suddenly accelerating as if Death itself was staring at her.

The masked man gave her no time to prepare, "1, 2,"

"3."

Before his voice faded, Shen Chuwei, left with no choice, closed her eyes and leaped downward.

So this was what the sensation of weightlessness felt like, enveloped in fear.

As her body plummeted rapidly, she thought about her premature death that brought her to ancient times, thinking she could just idle away her time until death.

Yet, she hadn’t expected to die young again. This time, she wasn’t so lucky to have her soul transmigrate.

How long would it take for Xiao Jinyan to forget about her?

She almost forgot that Xiao Jinyan no longer remembered her. How could there be a second time to forget?

The Taosu babies were not even two years old yet, still so little. Would Xiao Jinyan find them a stepmother and forget about her as well?

It would be as though she had never been here, with no one to remember her.

Shen Chuwei couldn’t hold back her tears at this thought.

Just as Shen Chuwei was crying her heart out, she realized she was being pulled by someone. The rushing wind in her ears stopped, and instead, she heard a mocking voice, "You really jumped when he told you to. Can’t you live without him?"

Once back on solid ground, Shen Chuwei stood on the grass, just realizing she hadn’t died. She wiped away her tears; she had just been scared to death~

She looked up at the masked man, towering over her. When facing a psychopath, she dared to be angry but didn’t dare to speak out.

"Without him, I may not die, but I can’t bear to watch you kill him, not doing anything about it," she said in a very soft voice, afraid of provoking him.

"I let him off this time, but he won’t be so lucky next time," the masked man with the colored mask tossed out this remark and then disappeared into the night.

Shen Chuwei watched the masked man melt into the night, taking a long time to snap back to reality.

"He just left like that?"

Encountering a psychopath for the first time, Shen Chuwei was badly frightened. Thinking of Xiao Jinyan’s serious injuries, she hurried back without delay.

She hadn’t walked far before realizing her legs were weak, all because of the fearless jump that had terrified her.

It took Shen Chuwei a considerable amount of time to make it back to the Guest Room, relying on her trembling legs.

Lin Xian was staring intently at the door, hoping Qin Xiao could bring Shen Chuwei back. Not knowing how skilled Qin Xiao was in Kung Fu, he could only wait in anticipation.

Seeing Shen Chuwei return safely, he was initially stunned, but once sure of her return, his hanging heart settled down.

"He didn’t hurt you?"

Shen Chuwei shook her head, "No."

With that, she ran over to him. Seeing his pale face, he had vomited a lot of blood just before, she hurriedly grabbed his hand to check his pulse.

Lin Xian was somewhat incredulous. That masked man looked ruthless. How could he have captured her and let her go so easily?

"He just let you come back so easily? No threats? No coercion?"

Shen Chuwei couldn’t focus on answering his question. She withdrew her hand and said, "You have suffered severe internal injuries. It can only be treated gently over time. I’ll prepare some medicine for Qin Xiao to boil first. After you drink it, you can rest."

The masked man had been too brutal. If he had struck again, he might not have even spared his life.

She was still terrified just thinking about it.

Lin Xian persisted, "You haven’t answered my question."

"He didn’t bother me, he just scared me," she said, still not fully recovered from the fear she had just experienced.
