Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 478 - Chapter 478 Chapter 476 Take Back Everything

Chapter 478: Chapter 476: Take Back Everything Chapter 478: Chapter 476: Take Back Everything A gust of huge wind swept past them.

Yellow sand danced in the sky, not far away, a golden giant dragon was approaching them with the force of thunder.

Yun Zhuo’s brows furrowed as he quickly untied the belt around his waist and bound himself to Ming Yao.

With the sandstorm approaching, if they didn’t bind themselves together, they might get separated.

And then it would be difficult to find each other again.

Ming Yao was also aware of the critical situation and clung tightly to Yun Zhuo’s arm.

They had trained together numerous times, and when facing a crisis, they had considerable tacit understanding and experience.

Soon, they were swept up into the storm, yellow sand scraping across their skin like sharp knives.

After a dizzying whirl, they landed heavily on the ground.

Ming Yao’s head was a bit dizzy, and the back of her neck stung a little; she waved off the sand on her head and then looked at Yun Zhuo, who was slowly opening his eyes, and spoke with a hoarse voice, “Senior Brother, are you okay?”

Yun Zhuo shook his head.

As the Senior Brother of the Tang Sect, he could survive in even the harshest environments.

Seeing that Yun Zhuo was alright, Ming Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking around, she found that the two of them were trapped in a very small cave.

The sand-clay wall was less than 30 centimeters above their heads.

Yun Zhuo loosened the belt that had been binding them together and looked at Ming Yao, “Are you hurt anywhere?”

“I’m fine.”

Ming Yao and Yun Zhuo exerted force together, pushing the sand-clay wall aside.

When they got out, both of them were covered in dust.

“Senior Brother, look over there!”

Yun Zhuo followed the direction Ming Yao was pointing, and saw several stalks of Ten-Colored Flowers by the entrance of the cave.

Ming Yao quickly walked over, crouched down, and looked at the brilliantly blooming Ten-Colored Flowers with a smile on the corner of her lips.

Yun Zhuo stood not far away, watching the woman with drooping lashes and a smile blossoming on her lips; his chest felt stuffy and heavy, but after such emotions passed, there was a sense of relief.

She had truly fallen in love with Gu Siting.

She would brave any danger for him without a second thought!

In this lifetime, he no longer had a chance to enter her heart!

When Ming Yao and Yun Zhuo left the Devil’s Desert and returned to the Desert Town, it was already evening.

No sooner had they alighted from the helicopter, a tall and austere figure sprinted towards Ming Yao.

Ming Yao had not yet made out who it was before she was pulled into a wide and sturdy chest.

“Who allowed you to run off to the Devil’s Desert?”

After finishing his work, Gu Siting went to the lab to check on Ming Yao, but Jin Hang informed him that she and her Senior Brother had gone to the Devil’s Desert.

At that moment, his heart tightened.

Ignoring Jing Hang’s attempts to stop him, he prepared to go after them, and just as he was about to board the helicopter, he saw them returning.

Gu Siting hugged Ming Yao tightly, wishing he could embed her into his very bones.

Ming Yao struggled to breathe from his embrace, and since she was covered in sand and grit, being held like this was extremely uncomfortable.

“Gu Siting, let me go first…”

Gu Siting released Ming Yao, his brows knitting together as he observed her sun-reddened cheeks and her cracked lips.

He really was damned!

He had intended to keep her safe, but each time, she ended up facing hardships instead!

Although he had always been proud, the fact that he couldn’t keep his beloved woman safe and made her take risks for him again and again struck him with an unprecedented sense of defeat and pain!

Ming Yao was overwhelmed by Gu Siting’s dark eyes and knew she probably didn’t look her best at the moment.

Lowering her lashes, she avoided his gaze, “I found the Elixir Primer. The antidote can be concocted soon! How have things been on your end?”

Gu Siting had originally planned to retaliate by secretly drugging Gong Yu’s men, but he couldn’t bring himself to stoop to such despicable tactics.

He recently heard news that the King of Northern Desert might still be alive, that the one who perished in the explosion was his body double.

He was quietly searching for the King of Northern Desert.

“There’s news, if the King of Northern Desert is indeed alive, everything will be resolved.”

Ming Yao’s face revealed a smile, “That’s great.”

Gu Siting looked at the woman in front of him, her smile warm and soothing, and his large hand caressed her small face.

In the past, he had never thought about becoming President, and he didn’t have such great ambition, but now, for the woman he loved, he must reach the pinnacle of power.

…

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Gong Yu awaited, confident, for Gu Siting to surrender and roll out of Country C.

But instead, he learned that the people of the Desert Town and those poisoned subordinates were all fine.

Gong Yu kicked the subordinate who reported the news to the ground, “How is this possible? Are you sure you didn’t get the wrong intel?”

The subordinate said tremblingly, “Crown Prince, it was that person named Ming Yao who developed the antidote.”

Gong Yu clenched his teeth in rage, “Ming, Yao!”

Gu Siting was truly lucky to have won over that Stunningly Beautiful woman with exceptional medical skills!

“Ming Yao went to the Devil’s Desert, that woman is truly formidable, to be able to gather the Elixir Primer from such a place.”

Gong Yu’s face was sullen, his gums nearly grinding in frustration.

He stepped out of the room and found Jiang Rui.

“You need to move up the Northern Desert inheritance ceremony, Gu Siting will certainly counterattack, and you need to take control as soon as possible!”

Jiang Rui nodded.

That very day, she summoned, apart from the King of Northern Desert, the oldest clan elder and dozens of other elders.

Jiang Rui forged an inheritance document supposedly written by the King of Northern Desert himself; it was just a formality after all. With the King of Northern Desert gone and having seized the commanding Tiger Talisman from Jiang Yan, even if a few elders objected, they couldn’t cause any significant trouble.

The inheritance ceremony was held in the Northern Desert Royal Mansion.

Jiang Rui, dressed in the traditional attire of the Northern Desert Tribe, exuded an aura of noble arrogance.

She walked slowly into the Jiang Family Ancestral Hall, holding three sticks of incense, knelt before the ancestral tablets, and was about to swear her oath when the doors were suddenly pushed open.

Gu Siting, dressed in black, appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Seeing Gu Siting, Gong Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression menacing, “Gu Siting, you’ve got some nerve to come here alone!”

Gu Siting, his lips pressed tightly together, didn’t speak; he stepped aside, and from behind him, suddenly emerged a figure leaning on a cane.

The heroic profile, the sharp gaze, the rugged demeanor, who else could it be if not the King of Northern Desert?

During the assassination attempt, he had jumped off a cliff in desperation and had miraculously survived.

His head and leg were injured, but he had been rescued by a hunter and had only woken up two days prior.

The King of Northern Desert looked at Jiang Rui, poised to take his place, and with a piercing, sharp gaze said, “Jiang Rui, you’ve got quite the nerve!”

The moment the King of Northern Desert appeared, the color drained from Jiang Rui’s face, bit by bit.

Her eyes widened, and for a moment, she thought she was hallucinating.

“Even if I were dead, Northern Desert would be inherited by Yannyann, not by an adopted daughter like you,” he declared.

“You destroyed Yannyann’s reputation, claiming outwardly that Yannyann is the adopted daughter, and you are my true blood. You’ve gone too far!”

Jiang Rui’s body went limp, and she fell seated on the ground.

“Father, I…”

“On the way to the capital, I was attacked; you had a hand in it, didn’t you?”

“Father, I didn’t…”

“No need to defend yourself. I’ve caught the mole who tampered with my carriage; he’s confessed everything about you!”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Rui’s face turned ashen.
