The Villain's Redemption Chapter 55 Never Again

Chapter 55 Never Again

Li Yue struggled. How could she give up now? She had spent so much time preparing for this situation. She felt her heart pound louder against her chest, her body was screaming for oxygen. And then… she felt herself falling.

Li Yue had no idea how long the jump lasted. However, she knew it wasn't quick— A clear sign that the fall was longer than five meters. Was she going to die here? Li Yue's brow's creased. She had not even accomplished one mission as she had been too arrogant. She couldn't take an insult and had killed the people who provoked her from the previous worlds. This was her last chance.

A chance to live— to continue living.

Living. The thought made her confused. She couldn't remember anything from her past. Not her name nor the people that she loved. She was like a blank slate. And to be honest, her will to live on had never been strong. It was as if something inside her was telling her that it wasn't worth it. Still, a part of her was also screaming at her to continue living.

But wasn't she just a soul tasked to redeem the villains? Why did she need to live the life of other people? What was the purpose of doing all this? Confusion swirled in her mind.

In the past four worlds, this was the first time that she experienced something like this. And this was the first time that she had been confused and indecisive. She hated this feeling. She could die now and end it all. The five failed missions meant her soul will be obliterated. Then that would be the end of her. No more scheming, no more struggling, no more forcing herself to act. However, a part of her body was still fighting to take a breath.

She felt her head hurt as cold water rushed into her mouth. Was she really going to die now? She wanted to save him and yet she couldn't even save herself. What a ridiculous human being. Li Yue couldn't help but mock herself as the water enclosed on her, filling her lungs. Then darkness took her senses away.

The loud thunder jolted her up. For a few seconds, Li Yue's confused eyes roamed around her surroundings. Soon, the pitter patter of the rain against the water in front of her made her realize that she was lying on the mud a few meters away from the falls. She was alive? Li Yue didn't have the time to examine herself. She immediately looked for Mo Li. She struggled to stand as she let out a series of coughs. Li Yue raised her head and looked at the dark skies. Without the sun, it was hard for her to determine the current time. She took a step towards the fall, only to feel her knees tremble and buckle under her.

The struggle that she did earlier had completely consumed her energy. She shook her head, refusing to give up. She needed to find him. Li Yue let out a long sigh. The fact that she was still here could only mean that Mo Li was still alive. She examined the area one more time and immediately let out a gasp when she saw Mo Li lying about fifty meters away from her. Li Yue limped, no matter what happened, she would save the man.

Her gaze turned cold and determined. Slowly, Li Yue dragged her bruised and tired body towards him. Seconds immediately turned into minutes. Who would have thought that walking such a small distance would take her almost thirty minutes? The cold drizzle of the rain only made her situation worse. Biting her lower lip, Li Yue started to examine his pulse.

Mo Li was lying on his back, his face extremely pale, his heartbeat was faint and weak. If her guess was right, he must have lost consciousness from the fall. She eyed the waterfall and shook her head when she realized that the fall was about fifty to seventy meters high. It was definitely enough to kill someone inexperienced like them.

At least Mo Li was still alive. At least she was still alive.

Li Yue sat next to Mo Li. Unable to stop herself, tears flowed from her eyes like an unstable stream. She was alive. At least she was still alive. Relief flowed through her. She eyed the skies again, small drops of rain fell on her face. Sadly, she didn't know who she had to thank for this chance. Li Yue then balled her hands into tight fists.

This was due to her lack of power, lack of knowledge and experience. And this would never happen again. She gritted her teeth and thought of her s.p.a.ce. It was small but she was able to fit three crackers and a small bottle of water in there. She also put a first aid kit and a waterproof matchbox to start a fire. She will survive!

With her new found determination, Li Yue started to examine Mo Li's body, making sure that he didn't sustain any fatal injuries. After a few seconds, Li Yue nodded. "Hey!" She poked his chest. "Mo Li! Wake up! You have to wake up. I can't carry you and we can't stay here. We need to find some shelter. A storm is coming."

"Hey… Mo Li. If you won't wake up. I will leave you alone." She added and started poking his chest again. "If you won't wake up I will touch your abs." She said. "If you won't wake up I will take a picture of your naked body and sell it to the highest bidder." Li Yue continued to talk. "You have to wake up Mo Li. I am too weak to protect you from wolves." Again, she raised her head towards the skies. This time, her lips were raised into a smile. Then she continued talking to him and she would keep talking until he woke up.
