Overjoyed, he will never forget the person who gave him everything.

Wen Hexuan, with an innocent smile, turned to look at the person who had given him everything. "Brother Bai, I did it! Look..."

The words abruptly stopped. Wen Hexuan stared in astonishment at Bai Chen lying on the bed, the entire bed beneath him stained with blood, his body riddled with countless knives...

His face was as still as water, yet his eyes remained closed, his expression gentle. A faint smile seemed to linger on his lips, as if he had found relief...

"Brother Bai..." Wen Hexuan stared blankly at Bai Chen, then came up to him and tightly grasped his cold hand. "Brother Bai, are you alright? How are you? Open your eyes and look at me!"

One minute

Two minutes

He was met with deathly silence!

Just then, a loud bang came from outside the door. Gu Liyan kicked the door open and immediately saw Wen Hexuan kneeling on the ground in a daze. Looking up slightly, he saw Bai Chen covered in blood on the bed...

Gu Liyan gritted his teeth, suppressing his trembling hands, and cursed fiercely, "Beast! You actually...you actually killed him!"

Wen Hexuan sat limply on the ground, his voice hoarse as he shouted to Gu Liyan, "No! It wasn't me! It wasn't me! How could I possibly kill Brother Bai? It wasn't me—"

Gu Liyan coldly said, "Besides you, who else could get close to him! Tell me!"

"I...I..." Wen Hexuan stood there, frozen in place, the memories of last night flooding back into his mind—

Last night, he was as thirsty as ever, like a madman wanting to devour the flesh of others. Then he used a knife to sever Bai Chen's meridians, transferring all of Bai Chen's spiritual power into his own body, and even swallowing the little essence he had left!

Wen Hexuan trembled all over. "What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me!"

Gu Liyan frowned slightly as he looked at the violent crimson aura surrounding Wen Hexuan, sighed, and shook his head. "It's because of desire. You've gone mad!"

Upon hearing Gu Liyan's words, Wen Hexuan curled up in fear. "No, no... I did as Brother Bai said. I won't go berserk! And I won't hurt Brother Bai!"

Gu Liyan glanced at the silent Bai Chen, then suddenly her eyes lit up and she realized:

"Could this be his answer...?"

Regardless of whether his choice was right or wrong, his answer was to never set foot in this mortal world again...
