History's Strongest Son-In-Law Living With The In-Laws - Chapter 551

551 Spitting blood in destruction! Heaven-defying Dragon’s sword!

Following the orders of the master of stupa mountain, the Army of more than 100000 soldiers broke free from the encirclement.

“Let’s go!”

With this order, Jin Jun led tens of thousands of people and left at the fastest speed possible.

At this time, the master of stupa mountain and Ying Guang had both calmed down. The two of them exchanged a look.

!!
What had just happened was too shocking, causing their minds to go blank. But now, they had regained their calm and wisdom.

The two of them immediately had an extremely bold idea.

Why did everything just happen?

Could Shen lang really destroy the ancient ruins in the southern sea region from a few hundred miles away? He wasn’t a God?

Even though he had performed many miracles, this matter was still too outrageous.

In that case, let’s try our boldest imagination. What exactly happened?

Sect master Ren and Ying Guang were both extremely intelligent people. They immediately made a huge Association and finally got the same answer.

Shen lang was a substitute? It was fake?

The real Shen lang had already sneaked into the ancient ruins in the southern sea. He was the only one who could open the control room for the energy core and detonate the ancient energy core.

The two of them exchanged glances and even felt a little excited.

If that was the case, what did it prove?

It proved that they still had a chance to seize Shen Lang’s chance.

Although the encirclement had been broken, and Jin Jun and the others had begun to escape, they were still tens of thousands of miles away from raging tide city. If they wanted to be completely safe, they would have to at least get to the seaside and board the raging tide city’s fleet.

It would take at least a month to travel such a long distance.

During this period of time, the stupa mountain Army could annihilate them at any time.

Then, the two of them looked at Shen lang, trying to find a flaw in him.

The distance between the two sides was 1500 meters, but sect leader Ren and Ying Guang’s martial arts were so high that they could see clearly even from such a long distance.

However, he really couldn’t see any flaws. Sect leader Ren and Ying Guang knew Shen lang like the back of their hands. If he was a substitute, they wouldn’t be able to hide it from him.

However, the person in front of her was Shen lang. Not only did he look like Shen lang, but his expression and aura were also the same. No substitute could be so similar.

The two of them looked at each other again and exchanged their inner thoughts.

It was very easy to find out if Shen lang was a substitute. If they could find the real Shen lang in the ancient ruins, it would prove that he was a substitute. This was crucial information.

There was still a long time to go. Jin Jun and the tens of thousands of people still had at least a month’s time before they could leave.

Therefore, if the real Shen lang was in the ancient ruins, he would have to stay there for at least a month.

This one month was more than enough for them to find Shen lang in the ancient ruins and surround him.

I’ll leave this place to you. I’ll go take a look at the losses in the ancient ruins. Sect leader Ren said.

“Brother Ren, don’t worry.” Ying Guang said.

After that, stupa mountain sect leader Ren rode the ancient Vulture towards the east, towards the entrance of the ancient ruins in the southern sea of Black Rock Island.

why didn’t they enter from the ancient ruins of the vajra peak?

Of course not.

First of all, after everyone had left, the entrance to the ancient ruins of the Vajra peak had already closed. At least, it seemed to be closed.

Secondly, sect master Ren didn’t know that the energy in the ancient ruins of the Vajra peak had already been exhausted. He also didn’t know that the energy vortex between the two ancient ruins had already closed, and that one could pass through it freely.

……………………

Just like that, stupa mountain’s sect leader Ren first flew to black stone Island and entered the ancient ruins in the southern part of the sea. Then, he flew a few thousand miles in the ancient ruins and arrived at the place where the energy Whirlpool was.

Along the way, his heart was bleeding. The destruction was too great. Hundreds of miles of ancient ruins had been destroyed, and seawater had surged in many places. At least a hundred secret warehouses and secret laboratories had been completely destroyed.

sect leader, the losses are extremely huge. At least 2000 square kilometers of our ancient ruins have collapsed, and the number of casualties has exceeded 10000.

As soon as he said this, sect master Ren couldn’t help but vomit blood again.

More than ten thousand casualties?

because the area of the explosion is the core area that we are developing. There are many scholars, scholars, and the hell Legion guarding it.

we’ve sent tens of thousands of people to repair the dome and cracks. Fortunately, these ancient ruins are isolated from each other, or the entire ancient city would have been flooded. But even so, the situation is still very dangerous. once another big explosion happens, the entire ancient ruins might be completely submerged by seawater, ” elder Lin said. it’ll be even more difficult to develop it then.

“Sect master Ren, the entire ancient ruins are currently very, very fragile.” “We really can’t have another explosion,” the Grand Secretary said.

“Who was the one guarding the energy vortex at that time?” sect master Ren asked.

“That’s my brother, general linyan of the hell Army.” Elder Lin said.

“Tell him to come over immediately,” sect master Ren said.

A moment later, general Lin Yan of the hell Legion came over and knelt down.”Greetings, sect master.”

“When did the energy vortex disappear?” sect master Ren asked.

“According to the time that Shen lang invented, it should be around 2 pm,” general Lin Yan said.

“Was there anyone behind the energy vortex when it disappeared?” sect master Ren asked.

“No, I didn’t,” “After the energy vortex disappeared, I immediately sent more than 100 people through the special passage to explore, but they didn’t find anyone. They even entered the ruins of the Vajra peak directly,” general Lin Yan said.

“Did any outsiders sneak into our ancient ruins after that?” sect master Ren asked.

“No,” general Lin Yan replied.

“Did anyone come from the other side of the energy vortex?” sect master Ren asked.

General linyan thought for a while and nodded. “There, there are four people! Two Special Forces Warriors were holding two prisoners. They were both Shen Lang’s trusted subordinates. One of them was called Wu lie, and the other was LAN da. ”

Sect master Ren’s face trembled and he said, ” “Are you sure those two are our Special Forces?”

I’m sure, ” general Lin Yan said. I should ask him to take off his mask. He does have the characteristics of our special Warriors.

All special Warriors had undergone more than one bloodline transformation, so their facial and physical characteristics were very obvious.

Sect leader Ren’s face trembled. He immediately deduced that these two people were most likely Shen lang and Qiu Yao ‘er.

“Where did these two people go?” Sect leader Ren asked.

“Prison number two.” Lin Yan said.

“Send someone to search the second prison immediately to see if there are any of these two prisoners,” sect master Ren said.

sect master, the second prison was also within the explosion range, ” hell Legion’s general Lin Yan said. so even if these two prisoners were here, they would have been blown into ashes long ago.

Sect master Ren’s expression changed and he shouted, ” immediately gather all the special Warriors and hell Corps in the ancient ruins and search the area within a hundred miles. Give me a map, give me a map.

Very quickly, the map of this ancient ruins appeared in front of sect master Ren. All the buildings and the layout of the ancient city were clearly displayed. Even the destroyed areas were also marked.

Sect master Ren calculated quickly on the map and then eliminated them one by one.

His target was the energy core control room, because it was the only place where the energy core could self-destruct.

“This is number 39 energy core control room.” “Men, follow me to this place,” sect master Ren said.

Then, sect master Ren led a few elders and a few hundred Special Forces Warriors to the energy core control room No. 39.

One had to admit that he was indeed very powerful. In such a short period of time, he had already found the exact destination. He was sure that Shen lang was inside.

……………………

15 minutes later!

Stupa mountain sect leader Ren led thousands of people and surrounded the control room of energy core No. 39.

Shen lang, I know you’re inside. “The person outside is your substitute, right?” sect master Ren asked slowly. It’s too similar, there’s no flaw at all, it’s simply a divine skill.”

There was no response from the energy core control room.

this place is too far from your raging tide city. Sect master Ren said,”so, it will take at least a month for Jinjun and the tens of thousands of people to go back. What are you going to do during this time?” Was he supposed to stay in the energy core control room forever?

There was still no response from inside, but sect leader Ren firmly believed that Shen lang was inside.

“Men, come.” Sect leader Ren said.

The Grand scholar immediately stepped forward.

Sect master Ren asked,”when can the door of the energy core control room be opened?” How long will it take to crack this password?”

The stupa mountain Grand scholar said, ” the energy core control room is not important. That’s why we didn’t do any related calculations. We need to start from zero. It will take at least three months.

At that moment, sect leader Ren wanted to kill this scholar in front of him.

“Bring ku Huanhuan over.” Sect leader Ren ordered.

Three days later.

Bitter joy was brought over. He was still a fighting monster without any consciousness.

Shen lang, ku Huanhuan not only possesses Jiang Li’s special bloodline, but he is also your direct descendant. “In order to save Jin Jun and the others, you’re willing to risk your life. If you don’t appear, I’ll kill ku Huan in front of you,” sect master Ren said.

The energy core control room was still silent. There was no response.

Shen lang, I know you’re inside. Sect master Ren said,”Jin Jun and her tens of thousands of people have only walked less than a thousand miles. If you want to continue threatening me, you will have to stay in the energy core control room.” &Nbsp;

“I’ll count down from ten. If you still don’t appear, I’ll behead ku Huan.”

“Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, two, one, zero!”

Sect leader Ren’s countdown ended, but there was still no response from the energy core control room.

“Kill!” With an order.

Elder Lin slashed down with his sword and was about to cut ku touhuan in half and behead him.

But Chi Chi’s sword blade had just cut into ku Huanhuan’s neck when it immediately stopped.

There was still no response from the energy core control room. He couldn’t just kill happy for nothing. He had become a battle monster of stupa mountain and was very precious.

Following that, sect master Ren surrounded the energy core control room for another five days and used all kinds of threatening methods, but there was no response from inside.

The more it was like this, the more certain sect leader Ren was that Shen lang was inside.

“You guys continue to surround them.” Shen lang and Chou Yao ‘er must be inside, ” sect leader Ren said. don’t let them escape.

“Yes!”

Sect master Ren rode the ancient Vulture and left the place, returning to the surface.

……………………

After 12 hours, sect leader Ren returned to Shen lang.

A few days had passed, and Jin Jun and the tens of thousands of people had already left more than two thousand miles away.

Even if mirror was impersonating Shen lang, he would not be able to stay at an altitude of 13000 meters for a few days. He would disappear for half a day so that the Super could rest and he could recover.

However, at this moment, he just happened to run into him. He wanted to make sure that the stupa mountain Army could not pursue them, so he stopped at the same place.

you are not the real Shen lang, ” sect leader Ren said slowly. you are just a substitute.

The mirror pouted and shrugged. There was no response, nor was there any flaw.

Shen lang is still in my ancient ruins, ” sect leader Ren said. I’ve already surrounded the control room of energy core No. 39. It’s impossible for him to escape.

The mirror still did not say anything.

“Do you know what will happen if we do that?” sect master Ren asked.

“I’d like to hear the details.” Mirror laughed.

Sect leader Ren said, ” you and Shen lang couldn’t communicate from a long distance. The first two explosions were arranged by the two of you. You were just acting along with the explosion. Jin-Jun and her men have only traveled about 2000 miles. My 1000 Special Forces soldiers can easily catch up to them and start a massacre. Shen lang, who is in the ancient ruins, is completely surrounded by me and doesn’t know what’s happening outside. Therefore, there won’t be a huge explosion.”

The mirror continued to smile without saying a word.

“Snow Eagle Army, get ready. Catch up to Jin Jun’s Army and kill 10000 people first,” sect master Ren said.

“Yes, sir!” The leader of the snow Eagle Army said.

Then, more than a thousand snow Eagle troops soared into the sky and chased in the direction of Jin Jun.

According to sect leader Ren’s orders, they were to kill 10000 people first.

Of course, killing 10000 people wasn’t the goal. Although there was an element of venting anger, it was ultimately to prove sect leader Ren’s deduction.

The Shen lang in front of him was a fake. He was just a substitute. The real Shen lang was in the energy core control room.

These thousand or so snow Eagle troops were all special Warriors. Killing ten thousand of Jin Jun’s men was a piece of cake, and could even be done in a few minutes.

“Substitute, it’s not too late for you to tell the truth and surrender now.” “Otherwise, 10000 of my men would have died,” sect master Ren sneered.

Ying Guang said,’Shen Lang’s substitute. Didn’t you claim to be Shen lang? Didn’t you claim to be able to destroy our ancient ruins? Now that we’re going after Jinjun again, you’re going to perform another great destruction. You’re going to perform another great explosion.”

“Jin Jun has already escaped 2300 miles away. The snow Eagle Army will be able to catch up to her in at most three and a half hours. Then, they will start a massacre,” sect master Ren said.

The mirror started clapping.

The mirror laughed and said, ” “What a wonderful deduction, almost without any flaws. Now the game has changed. Sect master Ren, immediately order your snow Eagle Army not to take another step forward, not to chase after my people, and to all stay in place and not move.”

“Why should I?” sect master Ren asked.

The mirror said,”in about 13 hours, the big explosion will start again.” And it would explode every 24 hours. The dome of your ancient ruins must be shaking now. If there’s another big explosion, the seawater will surge in and may completely drown the rest of your ancient ruins.”

Sect leader Ren’s face twitched.

yes, ” the mirror said. I’ve already set a self-destruct sequence for the fifty large ancient energy cores. I’ve also set a self-destruct time. Once the time is up, they will explode. And to prevent it from exploding, it was very simple. All he had to do was enter the password to stop the self-destruction. But it’s a pity that I’m the only one who knows the password.”

As soon as he said this, sect leader Ren and Ying Guang’s faces changed.

Mirror said, ” next, the first energy core to explode is No. 135. It’s about six meters in diameter and has nearly a hundred tons of metallic hydrogen inside. You can imagine the power of the explosion. If you don’t trust me, why don’t you go and take a look? ”

Sect master Ren’s expression changed again, and he waved his hand.

Wu Jue was riding an ancient Vulture and flying over.

enter the ancient ruins. Check energy core number 135. Sect leader Ren said.

“Yes!” Wu Jue said.

The mirror said, ” the energy in the ancient ruins of the Vajra peak has been exhausted. The entrance and exit here are out of control. You can enter and exit the ancient ruins of the Vajra peak. It’s only less than 200 miles away.

Sect master Ren nodded.

Wu Jue entered the ancient ruins from the Vajra peak. He passed through a special passage and entered the ancient ruins in the southern sea. There was almost no air inside, so Wu Jue’s ancient armor needed air.

He used his fastest speed to rush to the front of the energy core No. 135 in the stupa mountain ancient ruins. This large energy core was responsible for the energy of three secret laboratories and one secret Armory. Once it exploded, the consequences would be unimaginable. These secret laboratories were not destroyed much, but the key was that the dome had been shattered, and the seawater had rushed in.

Previously, they had only dared to detonate the small energy cores when they were violently exploring the Armory. Even if the secret Armory had been blown up, the weapons inside, such as Dragon’s regret, were very strong and would not be destroyed. However, the things in the secret laboratory could not be left behind. They would all be crushed.

“Hurry, hurry, hurry up and run!”

Wu Jue rushed to the front of the huge number 135 energy core. As expected, he heard the self-destruction countdown. According to the frequency, he could calculate that there were still about ten hours before the self-destruction.

quick, order the scholars to immediately deactivate the self-destruct sequence of this energy core. Wu Jue ordered loudly.

Then, dozens of scholars rushed over and tried their best to find the password, but it was destined to be in vain.

………………

A few hours later.

Wu Jue returned to sect master Ren and Ying Guang again.

sect master, Prince Ying, ancient energy core No. 135 is indeed on its self-destruct countdown. There are less than eight hours left before it self-destructs. I’ve already stopped the scholar’s team from cracking it and tried their best to stop the self-destruction, but I don’t have much hope. Wu Jue said, trembling.

Sect master Ren and Ying Guang closed their eyes in pain.

The mirror sneered,”now you believe me?” There are still twenty-five ancient energy cores in your entire ancient ruins that are on the countdown to self-destruction, and they will explode every twenty-four hours. Do you think your team of scholars can crack the password? It’s impossible. There’s only one way to hold onto your ancient ruins, and that’s if I give you the password.”

Sect leader Ren and Ying Guang twitched again. They had lost the initiative once again.

The mirror said,”from now on, I’ll send someone to deliver the password to deactivate the energy core’s self-destruction every twenty-four hours.” There is only one condition, of course, and that is that your Army must not pursue and attack, and allow Jin Jun’s tens of thousands of people to return to raging tide city safely. What if I find out that your Army isn’t honest? If one of Jinjun’s tens of thousands of people was injured or killed, would it be very apologetic? Please accept the destruction of the ancient ruins.”

Next, he threw down a ball.

inside this ball is the password to deactivate the self-destruction of the number 135 energy core. then I won’t be accompanying you guys, ” mirror said. goodbye!

Wu Jue stepped forward to catch the ball, and after a careful inspection, he handed it to sect master Ren.

After sect master Ren opened it, there was a piece of paper with a line of password written on it. There were more than 30 digits, and it was indeed impossible to crack.

“Use this password to cancel the self-destruction of number 135″ s energy core. See if it works.” Sect leader Ren said.

“Yes!” Wu Jue said. Then, he entered the ancient ruins of the Vajra peak again and passed through a special passage to return to energy core No. 135 in the ancient ruins in the southern sea.

The password on the paper successfully stopped the self-destruction of the energy core.

………………

A few hours later, Wu Jue appeared in front of sect leader Ren again.

“Sect leader, Shen lang did give us the password to deactivate the energy core. We have also discovered that ancient energy core No. 153 has activated its self-destruct sequence. 28 hours left. Our Scholar Team has already begun to crack it, but it should be …”

Sect master Ren heaved a long sigh of relief.

At that moment, Shen lang and his men had already left without a trace.

order all the troops to retreat and return to the base. “Stop chasing after Jin Jun and wait for Shen lang to give us the password,” sect master Ren said.

With sect master Ren’s order, the Army of more than 100000 completely retreated. The snow Eagle Army of more than 1000 also fully retreated and no longer pursued Jinjun’s tens of thousands of people.

………………

Just like that, 25 days later!

Tens of thousands of Jin Jun’s people successfully boarded the raging tide city’s warship and returned to the city.

At this point, Shen Lang’s plan to save Jin Jun was a huge success.

Shen lang won the game against sect leader Ren and Ying Guang.

………………

In the past 25 days, Shen Lang’s side would send people to deliver the password to dispel the self-destruction.

On the last day, all the energy cores in the ancient ruins in the southern seas stopped self-destructing.

However, just in case, sect leader Ren still ordered thousands of Grand scholars, thousands of special Warriors, and countless hell Corps to temporarily withdraw from the ancient ruins.

As for himself, he led a few Special Forces Warriors and continued to surround the energy core control room.

He still firmly believed that Shen lang was inside.

As long as they surrounded this place, Shen lang would not be able to escape.

And at this moment!

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The door that had been closed from the beginning to the end opened.

Dozens of Special Forces Warriors rushed in, but it was empty inside. There was not a single shadow.

Sect master Ren walked in.

Sect leader, Shen lang is not inside. “There’s no one here,” general Lin Yan said.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Shen lang was definitely controlling everything in the energy core control room. How could he not be inside?

The one outside should be Shen Lang’s substitute.

And at this moment!

”

Suddenly, a familiar ear-piercing sound rang out. It was the alarm of the energy core’s self-destruction countdown.

Wu Jue said in shock, ” sect leader, this is bad. This is a trap set by Shen lang. He guessed that we would definitely enter this place. Therefore, he wants to kill us.

Go, go, go!

In fact, without waiting for Wu Jue to speak, sect master Ren had already retreated like lightning.

The second one was Wu Jue. The remaining dozens of Special Forces Warriors exerted the energy of the ancient armor to the extreme and retreated like crazy.

”

The self-destruction countdown alarm was getting more and more urgent.

And then,

boom boom boom boom!

A terrifying explosion occurred. A large energy core exploded.

The energy core control room was razed to the ground, and then a huge crack was torn open in the dome of the ancient ruins, and countless seawater gushed in.

In the distance, sect master Ren’s eyes were about to pop out as he shouted, ” “Isolate this place, isolate this place.”

If the isolation was not done in time, the remaining ancient ruins would be flooded by the sea.

He was screaming in his heart. He was really about to vomit blood.

He had actually lost so badly in this gamble.

Not only did he allow Jin Jun and the others to return to raging tide city safely, but his ancient ruins also suffered a devastating blow.

His entire body trembled violently, and his head felt dizzy.

order Ying Wuming to attack tianyue city and kill all the members of the ning royal family, ” he said to Ying Guang.

Revenge, revenge, revenge!

He had to take revenge, the most bloody revenge.

…………

After the explosion of the energy core control room, the dome had been torn apart, and the area had been completely submerged in seawater.

A crack appeared on the floor of the energy core control room, and four figures emerged.

Shen lang, Qiu Yao ‘er, LAN da, and Wu lie.

Two of them were wearing ancient armors, while the other two were wearing the hell Legion armor. When the explosion occurred, they had hidden in the underground secret room to escape.

the dome here has already exploded, and it leads directly to the sea surface. Wu lie, big LAN, the two of you immediately rush out of the bottom of the sea, return to the surface, find a place to land, and then return to raging tide city. “Chou Yao ‘er and I still have important matters to attend to,” Shen lang ordered.

“Yes!” Wu lie and LAN da went upstream along the sea.

Qiu Yao ‘er carried Shen lang and flew towards the West.

He made use of this precious chaotic time to rush past the energy vortex, pass through the special ancient passage, pass through the Vajra peak ancient ruins, and enter the ancient square ruins. He wanted to go to the ancient King’s coffin and get the king’s sword.

It was the sword that he wanted to pick up but couldn’t.

He already had the ancient king’s ring and the heart of the dragon.

According to his guess, there were three pieces of equipment in this set. The ancient king’s ring was used to protect the body, the dragon’s heart device was the power core, and it was also used for defense and could block all ancient weapons. Then, it still lacked an attack equipment, the key attack weapon.

Once he had all three pieces of equipment, Shen lang might be able to find a way to defeat Ying Wuming.

Shen lang named this weapon the Dragon’s sword.

Shen lang guessed that the sword that the king in the stone coffin was holding was the Dragon Sword. It was the key to defeating Ying Wuming.

……………………

Chou Yao ‘er carried Shen lang and passed through a few hundred miles of the ancient special passageway.

It had already been a month since the energy of the ancient ruins of the Vajra peak had been exhausted. The air inside had long since been exhausted, and it was completely unsuitable for anyone to live in.

Chou Yao ‘er brought a few oxygen tanks and ran while carrying Shen lang.

Half of the special ancient passageway was already severely damaged. Not only was there no air, the temperature was also astonishingly high. However, to Chou Yao ‘er, who was wearing the ancient armor, she was completely fine.

At the end of the ancient passageway, the second energy vortex was no longer there. It was the energy vortex between the diamond Peak and the ancient square that had disappeared because it had run out of energy.

Shen lang and Chou Yao ‘er crossed the boundary and entered the ancient square.

………………

It was his second time at the ancient square, and Shen lang was still slightly shocked. Such a huge Plaza with hundreds of thousands of ancient human fossils was indeed a spectacular sight.

The energy in this place was also almost exhausted because the light was very dark.

The entire square was still as strange and quiet as ever. The hundreds of thousands of ancient human statues were still standing there in neat rows.

When Chou Yao ‘er saw these statues, she could not help but be stunned. This amazing scene was truly moving.

“Hurry up, we have to be quick.” “Bring me to the palace in the middle,” Shen lang said.

Chou Yao ‘er carried Shen lang and dashed into the palace in the middle of the ancient square.

There was a stone coffin inside, and the ancient Dragon’s sword might be inside. The three pieces of equipment would be complete.

Shen lang pressed his palm into the palm print on the stone coffin, and the ancient king’s ring aligned with the ring.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The stone coffin immediately opened.

BOOM! BOOM! the dragon’s heart device at Shen Lang’s heart shook.

The corpse of the ancient king was still lying there quietly, holding the magnificent sword in his hand.

Was this the Dragon’s sword?

This was the key weapon that Shen lang would use to defeat Ying Wuming? The most important piece of this set of ancient king equipment?

Shen lang reached out and grabbed the sword.

The last time, he couldn’t lift it even after using all his strength, but this time, he could easily lift it.

This sword was originally an ordinary gold sword. However, after Shen lang held it in his hand, it instantly emitted an extremely bright light.

It let out a series of roars that sounded like a Dragon’s Roar.

And at this moment!

Suddenly, the sound of a slap could be heard from not far away.

Mr. Shen lang, I haven’t seen you for many years. How have you been? ”

………………

[ note: a lot of my friends asked me if I had any drafts in stock. I really don’t have any. In the past few days, I’ve been revising for more than ten hours a day. The entire book has been checked and edited three or four times. I don’t sleep more than four hours a day. I’m exhausted and mentally Haggard. I don’t have time to write. ]

After the book was restored, it would still update around 15000 chapters a day. I beg for the monthly votes of my brothers to make up for my broken heart, please!
