Chapter 28 Ashitaka's Departure

Seeing that Liu Yufei was alright, the girls finally rushed over. Liu Yufei realized that he couldn't take it anymore, so after taking advantage of her, he returned Huanji to them.

"Tell her when she wakes up that I'm taking this girl with me!!"

Liu Yufei didn't care, since he had already agreed to the marriage, but the people around him weren't happy about it! But the girl with the flintlock pistol wasn't going to let him go so easily!

What kind of place is Datara? So many people are watching you take her away. Besides, the girl's husband died at the hands of wolves. So he immediately raised his flintlock pistol and aimed it at Ashitaka.

Ashitaka slowly turned to look at him, his eyes filled with sorrow. These people didn't care about anything he had just said. What made Ashitaka even more upset was that the two sides were now completely on opposite sides.

He had intended to resolve the conflict, but now he had become Dadara's enemy. Neither Shan, Huanji, nor the residents of Dadara, nor indeed anyone in the world, understood him!

If before it was despair, the moment the gun was pointed at him, Ashitaka felt another emotion: loneliness!

At this moment, Ashitaka finally understood that there was no way to break the curse in this world, because...

In this world, living is a curse!

Not only his own curse, but also the curses of the world, he was powerless against them all. Finally, Ashitaka's heart died! His mind was blank, his soul torn to pieces. Curse, life, let them all go!

Ashitaka resolutely took a step forward. At this point, he no longer cared about his life; all he wanted now was to take San out of there.

"Stop right there, or I'll open fire!!"

The women of Datara also had complex feelings towards Ashitaka, not because he was handsome, but because Ashitaka was a person, a real person, a person who was cleaner than all the men in Datara.

Ashitaka ignored him and didn't stop. He didn't care about anything anymore. Go ahead and drive if you want!

Those who were blocking his way instinctively made way for him upon seeing Ashitaka's expression.

"Ah Jiao, don't be impulsive!!"

The old woman behind him immediately reminded him, perhaps on purpose. The people here didn't have the courage to stop Ashitaka, but they didn't want Ashitaka to take San away either.

This warning triggered the flintlock pistol in the girl's hand. Compared to a musket, a flintlock pistol is lighter, but its disadvantage is that it is prone to accidental discharge.

As the bullet was ejected, a large hole instantly appeared in Ashitaka's back. Datara's men had finally attacked him!

Ashitaka's heart ached more than his body, but he didn't look down at his injuries and continued walking slowly forward. Perhaps at this moment, he was truly numb.

Fresh blood flowed quickly down the clothes, soon leaving a trail of blood.

"You can still walk after being shot?!"

Okayama was right in front of Ashitaka when he saw this astonishing scene. He immediately stepped aside, and when he saw Ashitaka walk past expressionlessly, Okayama rushed over in a few steps.

"Is Lord Black Hat alright?! Send the Musketeers over!! We can't let him leave!!"

Well, this guy is... well, it's hard to explain in a few words!

Ashitaka wasn't fast to begin with, and now that he'd been shot, the Musketeers quickly scattered and regrouped.

"God, please save his life!!"

In the end, Ah-Ku's humanity prevailed, but Liu Yufei, looking at Ashitaka who was still bleeding profusely, slowly said:

"I can only heal those who want to live; I'm afraid I can't help someone like him who wants to die."

Of course, the main reason was that Liu Yufei knew Ashitaka wouldn't die and respected his choice, but just to be on the safe side, he still followed him.

"Ah Shi, come quick!!"

As Ashitaka slowly approached, the girl in front called out to Toki inside. As soon as Toki came out, she saw Ashitaka's wounds that were gushing blood.

Ashitaka also saw Toki, and a smile appeared on his face, though faint, but he was indeed smiling.

Although there were still many people ahead, they all consciously made way for the outside. Ashitaka was now completely deserted, with only Yaksha following him. Just like when he left the tribe.

Finally, the samurai who had been watching Ashitaka throughout the banquet intervened:

"Please go back!!"

If he had felt a little jealousy towards Ashitaka before, he now only felt admiration, but out of a sense of duty, he still stood in front of him.

Ashitaka, of course, ignored him at this moment and continued walking.

"I won't open the door for you!!"

This excuse was rather ridiculous. As Ashitaka took a step, he withdrew his arm. Ashitaka walked to the closed door, where two members of the Musketeers blocked his way again.

"Please go back!"

"We are not enemies, we will not hurt you!"

"I beg you!!"

Warriors are respected no matter where they are. They all know in their hearts that Ashitaka is a good person, but precisely because of this, they are also filled with torment at this moment.

"I walked in on two feet this morning, and I'm going to walk out on two feet now!!"

Ashitaka's meaning was clear: he had to leave the same way he came, with no possibility of turning back.

Ignoring the two men's attempts to stop him, Ashitaka pressed his palm against the door, and with the force, blood gushed from his wound once more.

Liu Yufei immediately shook his head and smiled wryly:

"You're still not ruthless enough... Ashitaka, I'm here to help you!!"

After saying that, Liu Yufei ignored everyone's gaze, walked forward, and with a burst of strength in his arms, the door was slowly lifted up.

Liu Yufei thought he could stand by and watch, but when Ashitaka acted like this, he couldn't help himself! A sense of frustration and relief washed over him at the same time.

Ashitaka remained silent, and at that moment Liu Yufei finally lifted the door completely, revealing the wolf god brothers rushing towards them from outside.

Just then, Gangshan's musketeer team finally arrived, but upon seeing the Wolf God brothers outside, he instinctively flinched. Then, remembering he had muskets, he swung them swiftly, tripping up the entire musketeer team behind him! (This scene was quite comical; this bald guy was truly more of a hindrance than a help!)

The wolf brothers roared angrily, as if about to charge in. Ashitaka, seeing this, immediately shouted:

"Don't come any closer, I'm coming right now!!"

As Ashitaka left Datara, he also left the last place that had accepted him; at this moment, he was truly abandoned by everyone.

Seeing this, Liu Yufei slowly lowered the gate. It took a while for everyone to react. Gangshan immediately pointed his gun at Liu Yufei and said:

Why did you let him leave?!

Liu Yufei didn't speak, but just looked at him with sharp eyes. Gangshan immediately went numb. Then Liu Yufei's gaze swept around, as if he were about to be judged, and no one dared to speak.

What a joke! Liu Yufei isn't Ashitaka. If you push him too far, he might actually turn Tatara upside down!
