Boundless fear and regret spread from the depths of his heart to his entire body, and Chu Jiangli felt cold all over and trembled uncontrollably.
He held Yu Tang tightly, choking back tears as he cried out, "Tang...Tangtang, please don't lie to me, please, please don't lie to me anymore..."
Chapter 39
He died for the villain for the sixth time (39)
Yu Tang felt somewhat at a loss as he listened to the other party's plea.
He truly never imagined that what he had been trying to hide would be exposed under these circumstances.
He knew Chu Jiangli's personality well.
No matter how strong one appears on the outside, one's heart is still extremely fragile.
Furthermore, Wei Yuan's soul represents fear, and the fear of loss can overwhelm Chu Jiangli.
Moreover, the two people's remarks just now deliberately blamed Chu Jiangli for the responsibility of him suffering from the Gu poison, and kept saying that Chu Jiangli killed him.
How could Chu Jiangli bear such condemnation?
"Ah Li, it's not your fault." Yu Tang knew that this matter could not be hidden forever.
He held Chu Jiangli tightly, comforting him in a hoarse voice, "This isn't your fault. It was the Hehuan Sect leader who cast the Gu on you, and it was I who took it upon myself to transfer the Gu poison to myself. It was my fault for not telling you or asking for your opinion, as the doctor. You did nothing wrong..."
"Why didn't you tell me!" Chu Jiangli no longer knew how to vent the pain in his heart.
Even though he knew it was wrong, he still couldn't help but break down and shout at the man in front of him, "Why didn't you tell me! If I had known you suffered all this for me, how could I have agreed to let you do this..."
“You were clearly in so much pain, yet you still forced a smile in front of me, and you still did everything I asked, letting me throw a tantrum…”
"Tangtang, you should have just ignored me in the first place... You shouldn't have saved me..."
After his mother's death, his only purpose in life was revenge.
Driven by revenge, he stepped into hell, losing his eyesight, yet still struggling to survive in the darkness.
Because he had no worries in his heart, he was once fearless.
But ever since I met Yu Tang.
He repeatedly succumbed to her tenderness, until he nervously gave her his whole heart.
He began to want to live a good life and face the future with Yu Tang.
He thought it didn't matter that Yu Tang was a little weak; as long as he wanted to, he could definitely find a famous doctor to cure the man.
Their future is still long.
They still have plenty of time to be together.
He was still thinking that after avenging his mother, he would take Yu Tang away from the chaotic martial arts world and return to Wulian Mountain to live a simple and happy secluded life...
Without exposure to light, there is no desire.
For Chu Jiangli, Yutang is now his deepest concern and the only light in the darkness.
But now, those people are telling him that he and Yu Tang have no future at all.
Moreover, if it weren't for my appearance, Yu Tang wouldn't have died at all.
Even though he was still physically weak, he was able to live a peaceful and comfortable life.
They wouldn't have to suffer the pain of the poison, nor would they have to die a miserable death...
His arrival ruined Yu Tang's life...
He killed Yu Tang...
"You shouldn't have saved me..." Chu Jiangli kept repeating this sentence until his voice was hoarse.
Tears soaked Yu Tang's shoulder, and the man's eyes stung with tears as he listened. Yu Tang couldn't help but shed tears as well.
Chu Jiangli was in pain, and so was he.
He knew from the beginning that this world was a dead end.
He could not bear to watch Chu Jiangli die without saving him, and he was determined to give his own life for it.
A life for a life, there is no way to resolve this.
This made him wonder if he had faced the same choice in his previous life as Wei Yuan's master.
At that time, he chose to save Wei Yuan, thinking that he could die without regrets.
But they never considered whether Wei Yuan truly desired this ending...
Yu Tang looked up, trying to hold back her tears.
Unexpectedly, his hood slipped off, and the swirling snowflakes took the opportunity to cover his forehead and cheeks.
It melts into water, leaving even clearer water streaks on my face.
Feeling helpless and desperate, he closed his eyes, surrounded by a cacophony of noise.
Fragmented images flashed through my mind, piecing together.
He seemed to see it, also on a snowy day, Wei Yuan holding his body, crying out in grief, collapsing like a child.
He wanted to reach out and touch Wei Yuan's weeping face, to tell him that he was not dead.
He is still alive.
He wanted to apologize and tell Wei Yuan that he had always had him in his heart.
He thought...
"Cough cough..." My thoughts were interrupted by a violent cough.
Having spent too long in the snow, his body, nearing its end, finally gave way. Just as the leader of the Hehuan Sect had said, blood gushed from his mouth with every cough.
It splashed onto the snow and landed on Chu Jiangli's clothes.
Amidst Chu Jiangli's panicked cries, Yu Tang completely lost consciousness.
This time, however, Yu Tang didn't want to wake up.
Because he himself was also afraid.
The fear that I might follow the original storyline is actually a mistake.
He feared that after he had traveled through ten worlds, what awaited him was not Wei Yuan, but the Heavenly Dao.
Just like that dream he once had.
Wei Yuan sacrificed himself to save him. And the end of the world wasn't a reunion, but a final farewell…
"Host! Host, wake up! Wake up!" The system's voice echoed in my mind, and when I turned to my ears, it was a constant meowing.
Although it was a bit noisy, it finally helped Yu Tang pull herself out of that dejected mood.
As he gradually regained consciousness, Yu Tang embraced the system cat, gently stroked its fur, and opened his eyes.
"Woo! Host, you're finally awake!" The system kept rubbing against Yu Tang's palm, and his panicked mood finally calmed down a little.
Yu Tang comforted the system, recalling the panicked cries of Chu Jiangli that he had heard while he was unconscious.
My heart skipped a beat.
"Where is Ali?" He looked around and found himself in Chu Jiangli's bedroom, but Chu Jiangli was nowhere to be seen.
He asked the system, "How is he?"
"He..." the system said: "I heard Nan Yun and the others talking. When you were unconscious in Jinglu Town, he was frantic and carried you around like a madman, searching for a doctor. Nan Yun and Bai Xiao dared not neglect you."
They immediately summoned a doctor from the capital to treat you.
But every doctor who saw you was helpless.
Even when Chu Jiangli threatened to kill them if they couldn't be saved, they only knelt on the ground begging for mercy, saying they couldn't be cured.
The greatest taboo for martial artists is to lose their temper. Chu Jiangli shouted at them to get lost and smashed the table and chairs with a single palm strike.
He immediately vomited a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, terrifying Nan Yun and Bai Xiao.
Chu Jiangli's internal energy is in disarray, showing signs of going into qi deviation.
Ignoring Nan Yun Bai Xiao's advice and without consulting a doctor, he hurried with you back to Li Yue Palace to seek help from Xiao Han.
Xiao Han has studied medicine for so many years, and his medical skills are second only to yours. Seeing your condition, he quickly administered acupuncture and asked Chu Jiangli to use his internal energy to suppress the Gu poison in your body.
After that, he wrote out a prescription, prepared the medicine, and Chu Jiangli stayed by your bedside to take care of you, feeding you the medicine little by little...
As Yu Tang listened, he could sense just how much fear Chu Jiangli was enduring.
He asked, "So where did he go now?"
Upon hearing this, the system's cat-like eyes welled up with tears, and it said, "[He went into hiding after hearing the news that your condition had stabilized.]"
He locked himself in the ancient tomb, refusing to eat or drink, and avoided everyone who came to plead with him.
Chapter 40
He died for the villain for the sixth time (40)
Ancient tombs...
Yu Tang remembered that Chu Jiangli had mentioned it to him before.
After destroying Chu Jiangli's eyes, the former master of Liyue Palace threw him into an ancient tomb and imprisoned him for three whole years.
These three years must have been the darkest period of Chu Jiangli's life.
But now Chu Jiangli has chosen to enter the ancient tomb by himself, dragging his demonically possessed body without eating or drinking...
He's clearly... courting death...
“This idiot…” Yu Tang’s eyes stung with tears. He got up, dressed, and got out of bed, but his body was so weak that he almost knelt down.
The system cat quickly ran over and cushioned his fall.
The door to the room opened, and Xiao Han saw Yu Tang get out of bed. She quickly ran over and said, "Dr. Yu, you can't get out of bed yet!"
"Quick, let me help you lie down!"
