Les histoires de fantômes de Xiao Tao (Version intégrale)

Chapitre 19

The sound of someone falling to the ground was so jarring, it made my ears ring. Bright red blood from the prince's mouth flowed onto the ground, staining his white robes…

"Damn it!" I threw the bell I had tied around my waist toward the spot where the prince had just burned the talisman.

A burst of fire, and the bell fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces.

At this moment, Liu Cheng seemed unable to reconcile the excess pure Yin energy he had absorbed. As a man, whether alive or dead, the Yang energy within him always existed; it was just that after death, the Yang energy transformed into "Lesser Yin energy," making it imperceptible. However, for it to combine with pure Yin energy, a process was still required.

I thought this guy would only show up around midnight, but I didn't expect him to catch up with me at this time.

With my last bit of strength, I overturned the basin of dog blood, then threw out my talisman bag, mixing it with the blood, and hurled it away. At that moment, I wanted nothing more than to tear him to pieces; I didn't care whether he could be reincarnated or not, so I threw all the talismans at him.

The dog's blood was mixed with the "ghost-suppressing talisman" that the prince had just lit; a single drop of this blood would be enough to subdue a hundred-year-old wandering spirit. But the prince's unexpected turn of events had driven me mad. He lay on the ground, his life hanging in the balance. As I poured it all out, I also threw out all the talismans.

Die, die...

As that creature dissipated amidst the talisman and dog's blood, tears finally streamed down my face. The spilled dog's blood splattered all over my face, but I was too weak to wipe it away. All I could see was a dark green, matte light, and then I knew nothing more...

...

(VI) The Morgue, Chapter Ten: My Ending

"Weiyang, Weiyang..." When I woke up, I was lying on a light blue hospital bed.

“Prince…” The prince was sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Are you alright?" Seeing him standing healthily in front of me, I was excited and wanted to sit up.

"I'm fine," the prince said, pressing me down.

He took my hand and placed his other hand on my face, saying, "Weiyang, listen to me. There's something I've said in my heart thousands, tens of thousands of times. Maybe it's sudden to say it now, but... I still want to tell you in person right now, I love you!"

I've wanted to hear those words for a long time. Holding his hand, I suddenly realized that this is happiness!

"I've planned so many times how I should respond if you confessed your feelings to me, what kind of posture and expression I should use. But now that I've actually heard it, I realize that love can't be planned in advance." I pressed his hand against my face, letting my tears fall onto his wrist.

"Prince, I love you, and I love you very much..." But before I could finish speaking, everything suddenly went dark.

...

"Baby..."

“Girl…”

"Weiyang..."

"Sister Weiyang..."

"Miss Zuo..."

Many sounds swirled around my ears...

The hospital bed was still a pale blue color, but the prince was no longer there.

Lü Hantian, Grandma, Xiaoling, Li Guandong... and Fu Weiping...

"Milk..." Could it be a dream?

“Girl, you’ve finally…”

"Where's the prince?" I interrupted my grandmother.

Grandma's expression made me feel uneasy. I turned around and roughly grabbed Lü Hantian's arm. "Hantian, where's the prince? Where's the prince?"

No one in the entire ward spoke. "Is he... dead?" I didn't want it to be true, but I had to ask.

“Miss Zuo, Mr. Wang is not in immediate danger…” Hearing Fu Weiping’s words, I breathed a sigh of relief and lay back down on the bed, but his next words made me jump up again.

“We will cover Mr. Wang’s medical expenses for the rest of his life until he wakes up…” Hearing this, I couldn’t care less about the needle in my hand. I had cut my hand by suddenly jumping off the bed and pulling out the needle, but the blood that flowed out didn’t make me feel any pain.

"Awaken? Forever? What does that mean? What does that mean?... " I asked everyone at the bedside. Finally, Lü Hantian pressed his sleeve against my bleeding hand and said, "Due to the impact to his brain, the prince may become... a vegetable..."

"No, no, he just came to see me, and he said he loves me..." I tugged at Lü Hantian, shaking my head and denying it repeatedly, but I knew that the moment of truth would eventually come, I just didn't want to...

...

The prince was connected to numerous medical devices, and a breathing tube was inserted into his nose; he looked as if he were asleep. Just like when he lay languidly on the sofa in my office, his face was still so exquisite, just like when I first met him…

...

"Baby..." Lu Hantian called softly from behind. I didn't dare turn around, because I didn't know which way to go after I did...
