Gate of God Chapter 436: Are you saving me or not?

Chapter 436: Are you saving me or not?
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Throughout history, there is no shortage of heroes who are not afraid of death...
It must be admitted that...
These were people revered by those who came after them.
However, Fang Zhengzhi had no intention of being a hero. He admired their mental fortitude, but he preferred to stay alive.
Even if he had to die, he wanted to die with as much fanfare as possible. He wanted to die doing something great.
This was no time to die.
Was he going to fake some courage?
Was he going to scold her and ask her to get it over quickly? Was he going to stretch out his neck and ask Yun Qingwu to chop him?
Fang Zhengzhi would never do it.
After hearing Yun Qingwu's words, the first thing he thought about was how he was going to reply.
"Why didn't she kill him yet?"
There were many possible responses to such a question.
Some may think that she didn't want to kill him, but had no other choice. Others may have thought that she was keeping him around because he was still valuable.
However, Fang Zhengzhi did not think so.
If Yun Qingwu couldn't bear to kill him, she would not have Bai Xing attack him when he was least expecting it. She also wouldn't have stabbed him and kicked him off a cliff.
So...
He was certain that Yun Qingwu wanted him dead.
If that was the case, the only reason why she hadn't done it must be because the time isn't ripe.
If a fruit wasn't ripe, you had to wait agonizingly until it was before you could savour it. The moment it was ripe...
You would pounce on it immediately!
Fang Zhengzhi did not want to compare himself to a fruit, but he was like a fruit right now. He was Yun Qingwu's fruit.
If Yun Qingwu wanted him dead, he couldn't do anything about it.
The difference if power was too great.
Fang Zhengzhi had thought that he was very powerful as he was. Being in the Supernatural State at his age meant that he was virtually peerless!
He didn't expect that his life would end even before it had truly started!
What was he to do?
He didn't know whether to plead or defect at this point.
He had thought of doing either, but since Yun Qingwu and him were in different camps, doing either of those now would just shame himself.
He couldn't act tough, neither could he humiliate himself in an attempt to survive.
Fang Zhengzhi had no way of replying to this question.
Yun Qingwu had no intention of cutting his agony short. From her expression, she was thoroughly enjoying it!
"Did I cause her to become perverted?" Fang Zhengzhi thought back to the previous times he met Yun Qingwu and contrasted those against her currently.
Previously, Yun Qingwu had seemed cold and aloof.
But now...
She was just like a contented little girl.
What the hell was happening?
As the Young Master of the Demons, she should be planning ahead and looking at the big picture! Why was she so focused on me?
Am I really worth her attention?
Fang Zhengzhi wanted to calm himself down, but he could not do it. He felt like he was being suffocated.
"You think that I am still of value to you?" Fang Zhengzhi decided to hedge a guess.
"You're right!" Yun Qingwu nodded.
Fang Zhengzhi felt a huge load off his shoulders. This was the best news for him. That meant that he could still negotiate.
"Erm... what do you need me to do? I will do my best!" Fang Zhengzhi added.
"Nothing. You just have to wait here." Yun Qingwu shook her head.
"Wait here?" Fang Zhengzhi felt his heart tighten. He was of value but she didn't want him to do anything?
Did she want him to...
Stand around and wait for death?
"You are right, I want you to just wait here for your death!" Yun Qingwu smiled radiantly as she read Fang Zhengzhi's mind.
"Go f*ck yourself!" Fang Zhengzhi couldn't hold it back any longer.
He would rather die than be humiliated.
If there was any hope for survival, Fang Zhengzhi would definitely do anything in his power to stay alive. However, Yun Qingwu had made it clear that she would not let him live.
So...
He might as well scold her and vent his frustrations.
"... should be coming soon..." Yun Qingwu raised her head and muttered to herself.
"Coming? Who..." Fang Zhengzhi swallowed his words almost immediately. He saw a huge black figure in the sky.
"Aroo!"
A crisp sound broke through the air. A huge beast broke through the clouds and blocked out the sun.
It's huge wings flapped, creating strong gusts of wind.
That was a beast with a huge pair of wings, and flames danced in its eyes. Snow white feathers covered its body. Those were no ordinary feathers, and they were shaped like scales. This beast shared some resemblance to an eagle.
However, unlike an eagle, it had a long tail, almost like the legendary phoenix. Its tail glistened.
The Snow Wind Eagle.
It was a rare beast which was rumored to be from the phoenix's bloodline.
At the moment, there were two figures on the Snow Wind Eagle's back. On the left was a figure in red armor. She smirked as she looked down at the battlefield below.
She had an air of arrogance about her.
She was Ping Yang, the most pampered princess in the Great Xia.
The person next to her was Chi Guyan. Chi Guyan was the only person who could be this close to Ping Yang, and she was the only one who could get Ping Yang to be obedient.
Her silky black hair and pink flowy dress danced in the wind.
Chi Guyan was easily one of the most beautiful people in the world. However, she was so outstanding that most people felt that they were not fit to even be close to her.
Her eyes were especially unique.
Her eyes looked like they were fashioned from stars. They were bright and clear.
Fang Zhengzhi had thought that Yun Qingwu was waiting for the right opportunity. However, he didn't expect that she was waiting for Chi Guyan and Ping Yang.
"Isn't Chi Guyan at the Heavenly Dao Pavillion? And Ping Yang... shouldn't she be back in the capital?" Fang Zhengzhi could not believe his eyes.
He had no idea that Chi Guyan and Ping Yang were in the Southern Region.
When they appeared at the Icy Monkey Settlement, he was already in a comatose state. Furthermore, he had been dragged to Princess Shan Yu's camp right after.
Being in a Southern Region camp...
No one mentioned Chi Guyan and Ping Yang's arrival.
In fact, unless it was absolutely necessary, no one from the Southern Region would mention the battle there.
However, just because Fang Zhengzhi didn't know didn't mean that Yun Qingwu didn't.
Yun Qingwu knew that Chi Guyan and Ping Yang were in the Southern Region. As such, she knew that Chi Guyan would definitely come to the Iron Hill Settlement.
"You came." Yun Qingwu stopped smiling, her expression reverting to her trademark iciness. She looked at Chi Guyan and greeted her casually.
"Mm, I did." Chi Guyan's calm voice came from above.
Fang Zhengzhi was rather conflicted.
When he saw something appear in the sky, he was ecstatic. He had hoped that someone would come and save him from this sticky situation. However... he did not want that person to be Chi Guyan.
It wasn't because he cared about what she would think...
It was because...
He knew that she would be in grave danger.
In actual fact, he was biding his time and waiting for someone to save him. He even thought about betraying that person.
But if the person saving him was Chi Guyan...
Could he still bear to betray her?
Fang Zhengzhi did not know what Chi Guyan thought of him, but he was sure that he did not want Chi Guyan to die.
This was why he was so conflicted.
However, he was also anxious and depressed.
Just as he was deciding between betraying Chi Guyan or fighting alongside her...
Chi Guyan stopped in her tracks.
The Snow Wind Eagle hovered in the air as Ping Yang looked down at the battlefield in scorn.
Most importantly...
Chi Guyan began talking to Yun Qingwu! Furthermore, it sounded as though they were old friends reminiscing!
What the hell was this about?
Shouldn't her first order of business to be to swoop down and save Fang Zhengzhi?
Was she here to save him or not?!
