Глава 73

The fiery red wedding dress reflected off her pale, unadorned face.

As she gazed at Zhan Yu's miserable state, she stepped forward, each step feeling as if she were walking on cotton, her body trembling uncontrollably from the immense grief and cruel reality.

She finally stood in front of Zhan Yu.

Slender fingers gently touched Zhan Yu's cold face, her blood-soaked hair, and the tears of a lotus flower, which slid down like beads from a broken string...

"...Brother, I hurt you so badly..."

“…It doesn’t hurt…” Zhan Yu stared at her, tears streaming down his face, letting blood gush from his wound, and he forced a smile at her.

"...It doesn't hurt at all...really..."

“Brother…” Lianhua’s pale hand silently covered the wound on his chest, sobbing uncontrollably.

"...That arrow...brought back my little sister!"

He gazed at her, his face stained with blood, yet his expression was so serene. "So you're still alive... So... you've grown up so much... You still remember... when we were little... what happened when we were little..."

“I remember, I remember all those things clearly… I will never forget…” Lotus looked up at his dying appearance, tears streaming down her face.

"...I still remember my brother carrying me to pick flowers and catch fireflies. He took me everywhere he went. My brother was always with me... Later, my father wanted to send me to my maternal grandmother's house. Before we even reached Jiangnan, my mother and I were chased and killed. Later... my mother died too... and I was left..."

"Did you suffer a lot...?"

“I didn’t suffer, and I had a very, very good person taking care of me, but I was very scared. I thought I was the only one left in the Bai clan, and I was very scared… scared of living alone in this world…”

Lotus's fingers slowly lingered on his cheek, gently wiping away the blood and grime. "But now I know my brother is here, I'm not afraid at all... It turns out that all these years, my brother and I have been living in this world... We're both alive... Brother, I will get you out of here..."

Hidden beneath her loose wedding dress was his Green Destiny sword.

However, Zhan Yu, who was pinned to the stone wall, stared intently at her pale face and whispered in a trembling voice, "Little sister, kill me!"

Lotus's fingers paused.

Tears streamed down her face, filling her entire face.

"...I...I'm so tired, I'm about to...not be able to hold on any longer...but I don't want to die under the torture of the Tianshan Snow Gate, I can't let them torture me to death in such a humiliating way..." The dying Zhan Yu looked at Lianhua, who was suddenly in tears, and gasped for breath, forcing a smile.

"Brother, I need to get you out of here..."

"Little sister, kill me... grant my wish..."

His unstoppable blood dripped onto her wedding dress. In the dark dungeon, the blood-soaked dress appeared even more vivid and striking, a cruel, fiery red...

The sixty-eight golden nails completely ruined his body, pinning him to the stone wall forever. Forcibly pulling the nails out of his body would only make his death more miserable.

It's impossible for her to take her out of this dungeon.

He wasn't going to die anytime soon, yet he was subjected to this inhuman torture. The people of Tianshan Snow Gate wanted to watch him die slowly and painfully...

so……

He begged her to kill him!

Lotus finally broke down in tears like a child. She knelt down in despair, buried her face in her hands, her whole body trembling violently, her voice hoarse and sorrowful.

"Brother, I can't, I can't do it..."

"Little sister, don't let me die at the hands of the Tianshan Snow Clan..."

"elder brother……"

"Kill me..."

Pinned to the stone wall, Zhan Yu still forced a smile, his eyes gradually losing focus, filled with a bleak light. "Little sister, use the Azure Nether Sword to cut off my head... and then... take it away. My body... will become food for those vultures and eagles outside, and they will take my soul away. In this way, my soul... can fly freely in the sky... can freely... transform into the wind..."

A serene, relieved smile still lingered on his lips.

Lotus bit her lip tightly, listening to every word he said, every syllable, as his breathing grew weaker and weaker, and tears streamed down her face.

The darkness before my eyes was like an ancient, impenetrable ink!

“Remember… send my head to the edge of the snow cliff, so that I can see the Bai clan again, I can reunite with my clan, I… will go and kowtow to them… to apologize.”

"Brother has never been wrong!"

"You don't know, you really don't know what happened twelve years ago..."

As Zhan Yu lay dying, tears streamed down his face in anguish and sorrow. His cold expression was filled with despair as he spoke those words in a low, hoarse voice.

"Little sister, I am... a disgrace to the Bai clan!"

His tears fell incessantly...

What a disgrace! He is a disgrace to the Bai clan!

Lotus's eyes were filled with a sorrowful gentleness. "Brother, no matter what happened, you have already done enough, done well enough."

Lotus slowly tiptoed and gently kissed his cheek, her bright red wedding dress resembling a vibrant red flame.

"Brother, you are the pride of the Bai clan!"

She kissed him gently.
