Yu Tang was somewhat lost in thought.
He thought of the previous villains, who seemed to have done the same thing.
It's like praying to the gods for a future where the two of them can be together forever.
But in the end, he never met a good end in any of his worlds.
It's like a vicious cycle that you have to follow and can't break.
My mood inevitably became heavy.
Yu Tang sighed softly, forced himself to stay alert, and responded to Chu Jiangli in a self-deceptive manner.
"Okay, I promise you."
Chapter 28
He died for the villain for the sixth time (28)
On the wedding day, the entire Liyue Palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers. Red silk was hung on every doorway, and a full, bright red embroidered ball hung in the center, heavy and festive.
The morning sunlight shone into Chu Jiangli's bedroom. Yu Tang opened his eyes, reached out and touched the person beside him, but didn't find anyone.
Looking up, I saw that Chu Jiangli had already tidied up and was standing upright by the bed.
A bright red wedding gown draped over her slender figure, cinched at the waist with a gold and jade belt. The combination of gold and jade did not appear gaudy; on the contrary, it was incredibly beautiful.
The dragon pattern, meticulously sewn stitch by stitch by the embroiderer, climbs upwards along the hem of the robe, leaving a clear trail on the bright red wedding dress. It gleams with gold, complementing the red color and exuding an air of nobility.
Yu Tang lay on the bed, enjoying the view, when for some reason, he recalled the wedding he had with Xiao Lin before going to the battlefield in the fourth world.
The two were dressed in modified wedding attire, without any decorations, and had injuries on their faces and hands.
It was a tragic and shabby wedding.
But it was also the last thing he could leave for Xiao Lin.
The wedding that Chu Jiangli is preparing for him can be described as extremely luxurious, as if he is doing everything he can to treat him with the best things.
But Yu Tang knew that his time in this world was already counting down. After the wedding, he couldn't even estimate how much longer he could live with his frail body.
Therefore, he had to give Chu Jiangli the best experience at this wedding.
And in the remaining time, make the man feel more happiness.
"Tangtang, are you awake?" Chu Jiangli noticed the movement beside him, walked to the bedside, squatted down, and asked, "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
"The wedding is almost here, if I stay in bed any longer I'll miss the auspicious time." Yu Tang sighed and tapped Chu Jiangli's head. "Can't you prioritize things?"
Chu Jiangli paused for a moment, then grabbed Yu Tang's hand and kissed it: "No..."
He smiled and said, "In my eyes, your feelings are the most important thing."
After being with Yu Tang, Chu Jiangli smiled more often, and his smiles became warmer, making people's hearts soften.
Yu Tang patted his hand and said, "All you ever say are nice things."
He reached out and straightened Chu Jiangli's slightly crooked hair ornament, then tidied the man's collar and stray hairs, and finally gently cupped Chu Jiangli's face, placing a kiss on his smooth forehead.
"Good morning kiss..." he whispered, then released Chu Jiangli and urged, "Didn't you say you'd come up from the foot of Nanlu Mountain to marry me? The time is almost up, isn't it?"
"Go down quickly," Yu Tang promised him, "I'll be waiting for you at the mountain gate."
"I'm waiting for you to come see me."
Not long after Chu Jiang left, Xiao Han and a group of servants who were helping Yu Tang with her hair and makeup pushed open the door and came in.
But then they saw Yu Tang curled up on the bed, covering his mouth with a handkerchief, desperately trying to suppress his cough.
Yu Tang quickly gave Xiao Han a hand gesture, and Xiao Han understood and hurriedly sent all the people accompanying her out.
I walked over quickly, about to ask Yu Tang where the medicine was, when I saw empty medicine bottles scattered on the quilt.
A sense of foreboding arose in Xiao Han's heart, and she asked, "Dr. Yu, is this medicine... no longer working?"
"Cough cough cough..." Yu Tang coughed for a while before stopping.
He handed the handkerchief to Xiaohan: "Help me throw this away later, so no one sees it."
"Also, open the windows for ventilation, and don't let Ali smell the odor."
"Dr. Yu..." The handkerchief was soaked with blood, and Xiao Han's fingers were trembling.
Finally, he steeled himself, grabbed Yu Tang's wrist, placed his fingers on it, and for the first time, disregarded Yu Tang's objections, took his pulse.
Upon sensing the ominous pulse, his face darkened completely.
It even revealed a deep sense of despair.
Yu Tang's strength is now less than that of a normal person, so how could he possibly break free from Xiao Han's grasp?
Knowing he had definitely been exposed, he quickly said, "Xiao Han, you absolutely mustn't tell Ali about this..."
Xiao Han's voice trembled with tears as he said, "These are clearly signs of poisoning, and there's absolutely no way anyone here would poison you, unless..."
"You yourself deliberately drew the poison that Chu Jiangli was suffering from into your body!"
The memories finally connected.
The illogical aspects of Yu Tang's previous behavior have now been given a reasonable explanation.
Why did Yu Tang's health condition continue to decline after Chu Jiangli arrived at Wulian Mountain?
Moreover, Chu Jiangli was clearly poisoned by such a severe Gu poison.
However, he recovered to almost full strength within half a month, and his skills even increased instead of decreasing...
Xiao Han was studious from a young age, and the original owner of the body was not secretive. As long as the original owner could read the medical books, Xiao Han could also consult them.
So he suddenly realized that Yu Tang's claim of finding a way to detoxify through medicinal baths was false.
His true way of curing Chu Jiangli was to use the method of exchanging his life for Chu's life to draw the poison to himself!
"Why did you do this?!" Xiao Han questioned Yu Tang, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
"What has he done to deserve such a high price from you?!"
Ultimately, Xiao Han grew up living with the original owner of this body.
For thirteen years, he had long regarded Yu Qi and Yu Tang as his family.
No matter how good Chu Jiangli was, to him he was just an outsider he had only known for a little over a month.
If he had a choice, he would rather have watched Chu Jiangli die with malice than have Yu Tang pay such a high price to save Chu Jiangli!
"Xiao Han!" Yu Tang felt heartbroken seeing Xiao Han's tears. "Don't say things like that."
"This is my own choice."
“I saved him willingly,” Yu Tang said. “Besides, I don’t have many years left to live. Being able to use my body to save the person I love is the greatest comfort to me.”
He wiped away the boy's tears and said, "So, I hope you can help me keep Yu Qi and Ali's relationship a secret."
Yu Tang knew that if the straightforward Yu Qi found out about this, he would be even more irritable than Xiao Han.
And then there's Chu Jiangli...
If Chu Jiangli knew that he had saved him in this way.
Given the other person's personality, they'd probably be dying of guilt and pain.
"Why..." Xiao Han sobbed uncontrollably upon hearing Yu Tang's plea, "Why is God doing this to you?! You, you are so good, so good..."
"You didn't do anything wrong... why did it turn out like this..."
Since Xiaohan was old enough to understand, she had heard Yu Qi talk about Yu Tang's background.
Born with a medicinal body, he was weak from childhood. At the age of fifteen, his entire family was wiped out, and he was seriously injured. Before he was even thirty, his body was on the verge of death.
He couldn't understand why Yu Tang, who was so kind and good, had to go through all this suffering, and now she was even being tormented by an incurable poison, on the verge of losing her life...
Suddenly, something occurred to her, and a light flashed in Xiao Han's eyes.
He asked Yu Tang, "Can...can the poison be transferred to me?"
"Dr. Yu, if you transfer the poison to my body, will you be able to survive?"
"If it can be moved once, it can definitely be moved a second time!"
Xiao Han grabbed Yu Tang's hand as if grasping at a lifeline, saying, "You saved my life! Now consider this my way of repaying your kindness, transfer it to me..."
"Xiao Han!" Yu Tang interrupted the agitated Xiao Han, then reached out and ruffled the boy's hair, saying softly, "That's enough..."
These two words alone silenced Xiaohan from saying anything more.
The boy finally broke down, kneeling before Yu Tang's bed and sobbing uncontrollably.
Chapter 29
He died for the villain for the sixth time (29)
The reason why the "love" character is added to the name of the "heart-devouring poison" is because it contains the word "love
One reason is that this drug can make people addicted to desires.
Secondly, even if the poison is transferred, it can only be transferred from the body of the first person to another person with whom he has a relationship.
That's exactly what the Hehuan Sect members had in mind when they tricked Chu Jiangli.
Give him a glimmer of hope, make him suffer humiliation in order to survive, and make him depend on others for survival.
Yu Tang inadvertently helped Chu Jiangli resolve his desires, and later willingly sacrificed himself, diverting the poison to himself, which truly saved Chu Jiangli.
Now, how could Xiao Han possibly transfer the Gu poison again?
Moreover, Yu Tang would not allow him to do so.
He is destined to die in every world; this is the hint Wei Yuan left for him.
If we don't comply, we might disturb the will of Heaven and disrupt the entire plan.
Therefore, since the ending is already predetermined, I won't risk other people's lives because of my own conflict with the villain.
Hearing the boy's suppressed sobs, Yu Tang couldn't help but feel sad.
