The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 510 - Chapter 510 Chapter 510 There Is a Way

Chapter 510: Chapter 510: There Is a Way Chapter 510: Chapter 510: There Is a Way Long Haoguang directly pulled Lian Chuqing into his embrace, muttering to himself nonstop, “No, there must be another way, there must be another way.”

During this, Long Haoguang’s voice choked a bit, and his eyes began to moisten. His vulnerability seemed just like he was about to lose the most important thing in his life.

Seeing this, Long Yunfeng, who had always been brilliant at strategizing and could maintain his composure even when facing adversities, couldn’t help but get teary-eyed when now faced with his son’s despair.

Let alone Zhao Rongrong, she had already collapsed into her husband’s arms, crying. She didn’t want her son to be in such pain, but neither did she want her own son to pass away so young.

It seemed that the heavens really enjoyed toying with lovers, that two people so in love would ultimately be separated by life and death, unable to be together.

Long Jiarui was now a crying mess, looking at her second brother’s condition, she couldn’t help but think of herself.

Had they, as siblings, done something wrong in their previous lives? Why couldn’t they be with the ones they loved in this lifetime?

“Is there really no other way?” Long Jiarui gripped Zhong Niangyao’s hand tightly, her voice trembling, “They are clearly so in love!”

“There is a way!” Zhong Niangyao boasted calmly.

“Huh?”

As she spoke, everyone’s attention was instantly drawn to her, their gazes landing on Zhong Niangyao like stars falling from the sky.

“Nianyao, you just spoke, didn’t you?” Long Jiarui’s tone was very gentle, even with a tinge of cautiousness.

She was afraid that she had heard wrong just now, offering her brother a glimmer of hope only to plunge him back into despair.

“Yes, didn’t you ask me?” Zhong Niangyao blinked, “There indeed is a way! It’s just that this method is not so friendly to the living person, you know!”

“What is the method?” Long Haoguang asked eagerly, “No matter what it takes, as long as we can be together, I’m willing to pay any price.”

“It’s actually quite simple, just share your lifespans,” Zhong Niangyao lifted her head, looking at Long Haoguang, “First off, you need to find a recently deceased body, then let Lian Chuqing return to life through it. However, since Lian Chuqing’s days are already numbered, if you want to bring her back to life, you can only share your lifespan with her. Once you both sign the life-sharing contract, you will die on the same year, same month, and same day.”

“I’m willing,” Long Haoguang’s eyes were brimming with ecstasy, his voice light and urgent, “Lady Zhong, please, help us. I’m willing to share my lifespan with Chuqing.”

Zhong Niangyao looked at Long Haoguang, speaking slowly, “This is no small matter. You should really think it through. Once the contract is established, it can never be changed.”

Although she said this to dissuade him, in her heart, she knew that Long Haoguang would not hesitate. After all, how could a man who was prepared to give up his life for his lover care about his own lifespan?

“I won’t change my mind,” Long Haoguang spoke firmly, “Lady Zhong, when can we set up the contract?”

The mere thought of Lian Chuqing being brought back to life, of becoming a real couple with her, and even dying together on the same day filled him with indescribable excitement.

Lian Chuqing was equally ecstatic; she had not expected that there was still a chance for her to be with her lover, to even come back to life. For her, it was nothing less than a blessing from the heavens.

“But–” Zhao Rongrong couldn’t help but utter, “If he shares his lifespan with Chuqing, then Haoguang–”

“Don’t overthink it.”

Before she could finish, Long Yunfeng took her hand and spoke gently, “Just now, Haoguang was ready to give up his own life. Now that he can still live, we should be happy.”

Compared with his initial resolve for death, the current outcome was already a positive one. Otherwise, even if Haoguang survived, he would only be a walking shell of a man.

Long Jiarui tugged on Zhong Niangyao’s sleeve and then quietly asked, “Nianyao, is there really no other way?”

If her brother and Sister Chu Qing shared lifespans, their lives would be much shorter. She found it unbearable to witness.

“Uh–” Zhong Niangyao thought for a moment before continuing, “Family members can also voluntarily donate their lifespan to them, but each person can donate a maximum of five years.”

“Then I’ll donate five years of my lifespan to my brother,” Long Jiarui immediately spoke up, “I believe my lifespan is quite long, so donating five years to them won’t affect me at all.”

“I can too,” Long Haobo also stepped forward, “Just five years of lifespan, that’s nothing for me.”

Long Yunfeng and Zhao Rongrong quickly expressed their willingness to donate their lifespan as well.

Long Haoguang was moved seeing his relatives willing to give up their lifespans for him, but–

“I cannot take your lifespans,” Long Haoguang spoke with firm resolve, “I chose to share my lifespan with Chuqing; that’s my decision. I can’t make you all pay for it.”

“No, big brother, donating my lifespan to you is my decision too,” Long Jiarui was just as stubborn, “So there’s no need for you to try convincing me anymore.”

If possible, she would even be willing to give up all her lifespan. Ever since the man in her heart passed away, she had not wanted to continue living.

But Zhong Niangyao had said that her lifespan was not yet finished, and as long as she did more good deeds in her future, she would have the chance to be reunited with him in the next life, or the life after that.

Others also expressed their determination, regardless of how much Long Haoguang opposed, they all wanted to give him their five years of lifespan.

In the end, only Long Jiarui and Long Haobo’s five years of lifespan were accepted.

Zhong Niangyao nodded and continued, “This matter also needs to be conveyed to Lian Chuqing’s parents. If we are to bring her back, we will need a few drops of blood from her blood relatives.”

“So when can we start?” Long Haoguang asked a bit impatiently.

“You will need time to find a suitable body, right?” Zhong Niangyao blinked, “Once you’ve found a suitable body to serve as the vessel and have informed her parents, then the resurrection can proceed.”

After pondering, she added, “You had better hurry. After the engagement, Lu Yichen and I will be taking a long trip and we don’t know when we will return.”
