Chapter 1789 The power of love
"What Demon-Suppressing Tower? Do you think we'll believe you just because you're making things up?" Agu scoffed.
He had never heard of the Demon Suppression Tower, but the words "Demon Suppression Tower" gave him an extremely uncomfortable feeling.
Ata said, "I know about the Demon Suppression Tower. If Juli really was imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Tower, then I can understand why he has been out of contact for so many years."
Agu hurriedly looked at Ata: "Ata, why are you speaking up for him? By the way, do you really know about the Demon Suppression Tower? What is that? Is it a tower?"
“Yes, a tower capable of suppressing even a peak god-level expert.” Ata stared intently at Ruan Yu. “Anyone imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Tower has no chance of surviving.”
"I'm sorry, Giant, I can't completely trust you."
“Indeed, during the years I’ve been imprisoned, I’ve tried to escape countless times, but I’ve failed each time. There’s a restriction inside the Demon Suppression Tower that can suppress my strength. There are also tower guards at the entrance, so escaping is as difficult as climbing to heaven,” Ruan Yu said.
Before Agu could finish listening, he accused, "You've been exposed! You yourself said that escaping was as difficult as climbing to heaven, so how did you manage to escape? Juli, is there a single word of truth in your mouth?"
Ruan Yu didn't know if Ju Li was telling the truth, but her words were a mixture of truth and falsehood.
“What I said is true.” Ruan Yu blushed and said excitedly, “A human came to the Demon Suppression Tower not long ago. It was her appearance that broke the original peace.”
Ruan Yu, speaking with great emotion and from Ju Li's perspective, recounted in detail everything that had happened at the Demon Suppression Tower in recent days.
"Using moonlight to devour your cultivation... I understand, it's the power of moonlight!" Ata's words shocked Agu.
This also surprised Ruan Yu.
This giant named Ata is no ordinary person! She didn't mention the power of the moonlight at all, yet Ata guessed it himself.
"What is the power of the moon?" Agu asked, completely bewildered.
After explaining, Ata held Ruan Yu's hand tightly: "I'm sorry, Juli, you've been locked up for so long, yet we still doubted you."
"...I'm sorry, brother-in-law, I misunderstood you." Ah Gu was a good kid, and after the truth came out, he readily admitted his mistake.
Ruan Yu smiled slightly: "Where's your sister?"
"I'll take you to her now!" Agu excitedly grabbed Ruan Yu's hand. "After you left, my sister cried every day, she was a complete crybaby!"
"If I see you come back, I will be very happy. And Little Rice Cake, you don't know, the other children are all laughing at Little Rice Cake for not having a father."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Yu's heart also ached.
It wasn't that she was sad, but rather that it was her body's instinctive reaction.
"Don't worry, Juli, I'll arrange everything before I leave," Ruan Yu murmured to herself.
“Aguata is back, huh? And who is that…?” Juli has been away from the tribe for a long time, and many tribesmen don’t remember him.
At first glance, I didn't recognize him.
"It's Julius! Ana's husband! He's back?!"
"Didn't Juli run off with another woman? Why is he back? Did he get rejected by that woman?"
For a time, everything was possible.
Agu was furious and yelled at them, "Don't talk nonsense! My brother-in-law didn't run off with another woman!"
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for challenging you to a duel!" He rubbed his fists together, his tone full of threat.
Agu is a standout among the younger generation, so naturally no one dares to mess with him.
"Sister, I'm back! Look who I brought back!" After running all the way, Agu finally brought Ruan Yu back home before sunset.
Before she even got close, Ruan Yu heard a child crying.
She felt vaguely uneasy.
As they got closer, the crying became increasingly clear.
"Little Rice Cake!" Upon hearing the crying, A-Gu became extremely anxious, pushed away Ruan Yu's hand, and rushed into the house.
"elder sister!!"
Ruan Yu and Ata followed them inside. Beside the bed, Agu was holding a emaciated woman and wailing, "Sister! Sister! Wake up! You can't fall asleep! Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law is back!"
Upon hearing the words "brother-in-law," Ana struggled to open her drowsy eyes.
“Extreme strength…” she was barely breathing.
His lifeless eyes suddenly burst into light.
But... it was too late.
Her body was so empty it was almost unbearable: "You're back... cough cough... from now on, I'll have to trouble you to take care of Xiao Nian Gao..."
Ana's eyes closed limply, her head lolled to the side, and she fell silent.
"No!! Sister! Sister!!" Agu cried out in heartbreaking grief.
A thin little girl was also crying loudly beside her: "Mother, waaaah... Don't leave Little Rice Cake behind, Mother..."
Ata paused for less than two seconds after entering the house before turning around to find the doctor.
"Let me see." Ruan Yu took two steps forward, squatted down, and was about to infuse Ana with the power of the Light God, but was pushed away by Xiao Niangao.
"Get away! You're not allowed to touch my mother!" Little Rice Cake's eyes were red and swollen.
She recognized the man in front of her at first glance as her biological father. But right now, she only wanted her mother, not her father!
"It's all your fault! As soon as you came back, Mother abandoned me, waaaaah..."
Ana's condition is very bad; if she doesn't receive timely treatment, she really won't survive.
Ignoring Xiao Niangao's actions, Ruan Yu forcibly picked Ana up from A Gu's arms.
"What are you doing!" Agu was startled, then glared angrily at Ruan Yu: "I don't care if you're imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Tower, all I know is that because of your departure, my sister fell ill! Little Rice Cake has become a laughing stock among the children!"
"My sister is dying, what do you want to do!"
“I can save her,” Ruan Yu said calmly.
She was so calm, a stark contrast to the agitated Agu.
"What a joke, you're not a doctor." A-Gu's light mockery froze at the corner of his mouth.
Because Ana, who was in Ruan Yu's arms, opened her eyes, and her complexion had improved a lot compared to before.
The moment Ruan Yu embraced her, divine power and life force flowed continuously into her body.
“Great strength…” Ana’s eyes darkened, and a look of pain appeared on her face.
Ruan Yu put her on the bed.
Just then, Ata arrived with the giants' healers.
"Huh? Has she taken any medication? Her physical condition is almost like that of an ordinary person." The doctor seemed unable to believe his diagnosis and examined her again.
The result was the same.
"You didn't take your medicine." A-Gu looked at Ruan Yu blankly.
My sister was indeed completely lifeless and on the verge of dying, but after my brother-in-law hugged her, she... recovered?
Is this the power of love?
Agu dared not speak, fearing he would be beaten to death if he did.
