Her determination

Was he really going to give up? If it was someone else, facing the remaining nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, other than giving up, there would be no better choice.

However, Ling Chuxi would not. His mother had already waited bitterly for so many years. He could not let her wait any longer. Even if he had to use his last bit of strength, he had to find his mother!

Ling Chuxi took a deep breath and started to climb up again.

On the long stone steps, a deep line of sweat was left. It was like raindrops gathering, winding down and gradually drying up.

Gradually, the sweat began to reveal speckles of bright red, giving off a strange poignant beauty.

The corners of Ling Chuxi's mouth were already stained with blood and her face was deathly pale. Each of her trembling steps was so difficult that she had to exhaust all her strength. However, her eyes were still looking at the end of the stone stairs with determination.
