Ji Fengming remained motionless, his handsome, picturesque eyes gently closed, seemingly lifeless.

Ji Fengyao could tell at a glance that Ji Fengming had no breath left, and even his sea of ​​consciousness was completely still.

Although it is clear that fate is always unpredictable,

But only when the knife is stabbing you can you feel that real pain.

One moment he was worried about her erysipelas and desperately wanted to keep her brother, but the next moment he abandoned her and left!

"elder brother……"

Ji Fengyao called out to Ji Fengming in a low sob, reaching out her soft little hand to push away the hand that was still holding the dagger.

"bite!"

The dagger in Ji Fengming's hand slid onto the white jade platform, making a crisp and cold sound, but he remained lifeless.

"puff!"

Black Owl clutched his chest and coughed up a mouthful of blood, staggering as he was about to fall to the ground.

Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao quickly helped him up:

"Black Owl!"

"Brother Xiao Chen!"

“I’m so useless. I swore to help him realize all his wishes and to free him from all suffering. But the reality is that he has been helping me, warming me, and bringing light to my life, while I have given him nothing.” Black Owl coughed incessantly, blood seeping from the corners of his mouth.

Shang Xiye's heart ached as she watched: "But you've suffered so much too, all that you've done for me... Xiao Chen, I also swore an oath to bring you out of the darkness and make your life joyful and carefree..."

"Brother Xiao Chen, please don't be like this," Ji Fengyao cried, her heart breaking. She hugged Hei Xiao and said, "If my brother's soul were still intact, he would be unhappy to see you like this."

“If his soul has not yet departed…” Black Owl said, looking up and around, two crystal tears rolling down from the corners of his narrow, upturned eyes, his voice soft and mournful: “Fengming, if your soul has not yet departed, then come back… come back, please?”

Black Owl actually wanted to say one more thing, but then he remembered the words he had said before jumping off the cliff in his previous life:

May Yunxiao never meet him again.

He suddenly understood why he had said that back then.

Because whether it was Yunxiao or Ji Fengming, they only gave when they met him, while he gave them nothing but what he received.

Once I understood this, it felt like I'd been stabbed in the heart again.

Black Owl coughed up another mouthful of blood, his gaze drifting towards the quiet and handsome young man on the white jade platform;

Then look at Shang Xiye and the little bandit beside him, who already have each other and are deeply in love.

Black Owl felt that he had nothing left to hold him back in this world, and his will to survive gradually faded from his eyes.

Realizing that Hei Xiao was severing his own life, Ji Fengyao quickly used silver needles to seal his heart meridian and main meridians, crying and pleading, "Brother Xiao Chen, no! Even if my brother is gone, he would never want you to do this. You still have the Prince, you still have me!"

"Xiao Chen, I won't allow it! I won't allow it! We promised to support each other and stay together for life!" Shang Xiye was also driven to desperation, his eyes red, and he even used the demeanor of the former Ninth Prince to intimidate him.

"I feel very reassured knowing you're all together..."

Hei Xiao grabbed Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao's hands, clasped them together, and a relieved smile appeared on his lips.

His countless lifetimes after falling off the cliff were all for the purpose of atonement.

Those who have been redeemed are no longer in this world, so what is he doing here?

Black Owl resolutely and slowly closed his eyes.

Right at this moment.

“Thump, thump…” That eerie heartbeat sounded again, and it was right here in the main hall!
