He was about to use the Third Time Forbidden Technique.
“Don’t!” I shouted, trying to stop him. But a powerful force surged into my body. He was burning his own life force to save me, to save everyone. The poison gas from the Gu Worm gradually dissipated, and the toxins in the crowd began to recede. Yet, his hair was turning white at an alarming rate.
“Enough!” I cried out. “You’ll die!”
“It’s worth it,” he said, a look of contentment on his face. “If it can save you, it’s worth it...” Before he could finish, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
“Hamu!” I rushed over and held him tightly. His eyes had already closed, his face pale as paper, but there was still a smile at the corner of his lips.
“You liar!” I sobbed uncontrollably. “Didn’t you promise... that you wouldn’t use the Forbidden Technique again?”
Silence enveloped us. Even Luo Ruyan was stunned.
“Ninth Prince,” Prince Pingyang suddenly spoke up. “Save him.”
“Don’t you have a Soul-Stabilizing Pill?” I looked up sharply.
"That is for my own use," the Ninth Prince hesitated.
"If you save him," Prince Pingyang said, "I will fully support you from my mansion."
A glimmer of determination flashed in the Ninth Prince's eyes.
"Alright."
He pulled out a gleaming white pill from his sleeve. I quickly took it and administered it to Xiao Yuchen.
After a long while, his complexion gradually regained some color. This time, the Forbidden Technique had drained too much of his vitality. Even if he survived, it would...
"Deserved!" Luo Ruyan suddenly burst into mad laughter. "May you two dog lovers die a miserable death!"
I slowly stood up, still feeling the remnants of his power within me.
"You are right," I said, looking at her. "We are destined to die a miserable death."
Her expression changed: "What do you want to do?"
"To accompany you... to hell."
With that, I lunged forward. This time, I would complete my revenge in front of him.
I'm sorry, Hamu. You risked everything to save me.
Yet... I still have to let you down.
As I lunged towards Luo Ruyan, a sudden memory struck me—the Blood-Red Peony from my early days in the palace.
"Are you going to embroider a brocade pouch?" he had asked back then.
It turned out he had been plotting from that moment on. And I, too, had been waiting for this day.
"Do you dare to make a move?" Luo Ruyan said sharply, "Have you forgotten the poison in your body?"
I forced a smile, "How could I forget?"
"Just as I will never forget that blood-soaked night five years ago."
She drew a dagger from her side.
I recognized that blade; it was the one used to assassinate my father.
"You still keep it?" I scoffed coldly.
"Of course," she replied, proudly waving the blade. "It's a fine piece, still stained with your father's blood."
"Then today," I slowly raised my hand, "let's use your blood to honor it."
The toxins within me surged, and Xiao Yuchen's blood roared through my veins.
I can feel it,
the suppressed hatred from those years,
slowly awakening.
Just like the Red Pill he once gave me,
it is poison, yet also an Antidote.
It is salvation, but also a curse.
"You've gone mad!"
She looked at me as I approached, her voice trembling.
"You will destroy yourself!"
I laughed, "So what?"
"From the moment I stepped into this palace,
I never intended to leave alive."
A weak voice came from behind me:
"A Rou... it's not worth it..."
"It is worth it." I did not turn back.
"Just like it was worth it for you to save me three times with the Forbidden Technique."
Luo Ruyan lunged at me with a knife,
and I did not dodge or evade.
I let the sharp blade slice through my flesh.
In the crimson blood,
there was already enough poison to be fatal.
This is our blood,
and also the final revenge.
