Chapter 270 The Road That Must Be Taken

Lu Ling'er's consciousness gradually faded, her life force draining from her body bit by bit. She knew that this moment was inevitable, that death was calling her. But in this final moment, she suddenly no longer felt fear, but instead felt an inexplicable calm, as if she could let go of everything.

However, just as she was about to close her eyes, a figure suddenly flashed before her eyes. That figure seemed to have endless power, pulling her back from the brink of death.

"Ling'er." Li Yun's voice rang softly, penetrating the fog of death and reaching her heart. He stood before her, his brows grim, emanating an undeniable pressure. "I'm here to pick you up."

Lu Linger struggled to open her eyes, only to see the familiar face of Pluto Li Yun. A wave of complex emotions surged through her heart, and she weakly asked, "Where... are you taking me?"

Li Yun stared at her with a deep gaze, as if he could see through her every thought. "You don't belong here, Ling'er. You should return to Pluto's Palace and accept your rightful fate."

Lu Ling'er's heart suddenly shook as she suddenly understood something. She coughed a few times, her face pale, and between gasps, she whispered, "Pluto's Palace? Why...why did you save me?"

Li Yun didn't rush to answer. He leaned down gently, reached out and helped her up, saying gently but firmly: "Ling'er, you have long been destined to belong to the underworld. The fate you cannot escape is not redemption, but belonging."

Lu Linger lowered her head, a complex emotion flickering in her eyes. "I've never thought of leaving Feng Palace... Even if it means death, I want to go back." Her voice was weak, but every word was filled with reluctance.

There was a trace of pain in Li Yun's eyes, but he remained unwavering. "Feng Gong? You no longer belong to Feng Gong." His tone was heavy, yet his complex emotions were not concealed. "You bear not only your own fate, but also the responsibility of the underworld. You are no longer the innocent Princess Feng Liu. Your destiny has long been determined by the underworld."

Lu Linger raised her head, a hint of disbelief in her eyes. "The mission of Pluto's Palace? What on earth are you talking about? I have never chosen this path."

"You don't need to choose." Li Yun's voice turned cold. "This is the fate you were born with."

Lu Ling'er's heart was in turmoil. Her body began to feel heavy, and her consciousness began to blur again, but she still tried her best to stay awake and stared into Li Yun's eyes. "I... don't want to forget everything I have, I don't want to forget Yun Junrui, I don't want to forget the children."

Li Yun was silent for a moment, then he spoke slowly, "Your choice does not change the responsibilities you bear, Ling'er. The power of the Pluto Palace is deeply ingrained in you. Escape will only lead to the loss of everything."

Lu Ling'er felt as if something had struck her heart. Her body could barely support itself, and her steps began to falter. "Then... can I still return to Feng Palace? If I complete your mission, can I still go back?"

Li Yun's eyes softened, but he still maintained the calmness and determination of Hades: "You will go back, Ling'er. When you complete your mission in Hades Palace, you will have the power to choose freely. Then, you will no longer be a pawn of the underworld, you will have your own destiny."

But Lu Ling'er still felt a sense of heaviness. She had come to understand that she didn't completely control her fate, and that the promise made by Hades Li Yun wasn't the freedom she'd imagined. Yet, her heart still couldn't let go of Feng Palace, and she couldn't forget the vows she'd made.

"Pluto..." Her voice trembled, "Can you really give me freedom?"

Li Yun did not answer, with a trace of unspeakable pain in his eyes, but he remained firm: "Ling'er, time will tell you everything."

At this moment, Feng Yi also approached from a distance. He stared closely at Li Yun and Lu Ling'er, his voice low and threatening: "Ling'er, can she really bear this responsibility? What exactly is the Hades Palace planning for her fate?"

Li Yun turned and faced Feng Yi, his gaze sharp as a knife. "Emperor Feng, Ling'er's fate is irreversible. You can question me, but her future will be decided by herself."

A trace of deep worry flashed in Feng Yi's eyes, but he didn't say anything else. He just stood there quietly with a serious look in his eyes.

Lu Linger closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Under the gaze of Hades and Phoenix Emperor, she made a decision. She would open her eyes again and face an unknown fate.
