  Yu Dong saw their chest heaving and dropped on her back, she ——just a moment ago she felt like her world was crumbling and she couldn't even breathe, now that she saw them doing well, the weight that was pressing on her heart finally lifted and Yu Dong sighed in relief. They were alright, they were really alright, she covered her face as she let her body fall backwards, though no one heard any sound, they could see her shoulders trembling and knew that she was crying. The women were shocked, they couldn't believe their eyes—- why? Why would she cry for her mers? They were old and they weren't so pretty, to begin with, and neither did they gave her a child, so why? Why would she cry her eyes for the sake of these two mers? A woman was never supposed to cry much less for mers who were this useless and ugly!

  The women of the village exchanged glances with each other and silently pursed their lips, looks like Yu Dong has finally lost her mind. First, she let the feet of those two mers touch her head and now she was crying for them so pitifully, it was simply stupid. She could have just left them to die and got married to a bunch of more prettier and virtuous mers.

  What a waste.

  She had such good prospects yet she had to waste her life on these stupid things.

  The women were confounded and so were the mers but unlike their wives, they didn't look down on Yu Dong, instead, they were incredibly touched. Shen Li and Ye Liu really won in their lives, that they were able to get married to a woman like Yu Dong. If they had wives like Yu Dong then they would have thanked the Gods for their grace day and night. A woman who put her mers first instead of her pride and self-respect, who loved them so much that she wasn't afraid to show her weakness, such a woman —— they would have died to have her in their life but such a pity that they didn't have the luck to have a wife like that.

  Yu Dong cried for a long time, only she knew how distraught she was after seeing their lifeless bodies and for the first time, she was thankful that her grandmother reincarnated in this world as well with her because if not she would have lost her husbands without even knowing anything. She didn't even know why they took such a step and tried to kill themselves, weren't they happy with her so why?

  After a very long time, she stopped crying and wiped her tears away before she sat upright and looked at her grandmother who was examining Shen Li and Ye Liu, she looked solemn as she took their nerves and Yu Dong simply sat there looking a bit apprehensive. She was worried that after going through something like that, Shen Li and Ye Liu will have a hard time regaining their consciousness and might be facing some sort of trouble when her grandmother stood up and walked toward her after packing her silver needles as she whispered, " They are alright but it will take their souls some time to merge with their bodies again, until then you have to patiently wait, WAIT WHAT ARE YOU DOING—-" shrieked Wu Junfen when Yu Dong suddenly got to her knees and harshly kowtowed in front of her, startling the entire village with her move.

  This… This …… was Yu Dong giving Wu Junfen the respect one would give to God? Why? Just for treating those pathetic mers?

  What the village women didn't know was that Shen Li and Ye Liu might be pathetic to them but to Yu Dong, they were her everything, if they died today then she wouldn't have just lost her husbands but also a part of her—- a part that Shen Li and Ye Liu owned.

  Their smiles, antics, those shy expressions when she teased them —— they were deeply imprinted in her mind, she couldn't even think of a life where she wouldn't be greeted by Shen Li and his soft smile and she couldn't think of a life where she wouldn't hear Ye Liu's childish and contradictory words as he blushed furiously. That was something that she could live without anymore, the four of them have been together ever since she came to this world of course they were far more important than anyone else, how can they —- how can they even think about dying?

  If they were so unhappy with her, angry with her then they should have just stabbed her in the freaking heart and let go of their fits of anger but why did they have to break her heart like this?

  Before taking this step, did they never think about her? Did they even realise what would have happened to her if she lost them? How hard it would be for her to pick herself and learn how to live again?

  Now that she could think straight she was furious, she wanted to shake them up and ask what exactly was she to them, if it was her she would have fought with death to come back to them and yet they walked away from her like she never meant anything like she was damn nothing? How can they even do that?

  " Dong Dong, get up …. You don't have to do this, I …… this was my responsibility, I have done nothing special but fulfilling my responsibilities." Wu Junfen was slightly flustered, she has seen her granddaughter acting aloof, has seen her at the worst of her times but never did she think that her granddaughter would do something like this, when has her arrogant and prideful granddaughter bowed her head like this. " Raise your head, you promised you will never bow it in front of anyone."

  " You are not anyone, grandmother," whispered Yu Dong, knowing that her grandmother would be able to listen to her words with her spiritual powers. " If not for you, a part of me would have died today, it's you who saved me. So thank you… thank you for saving those idiots."
