Passengers returning from the lake saw Song Fanze and quickly pointed at him.
"Did you see that? It's this hypocrite, Song Fanze. If it weren't for him, why would Miss Chu Chu have jumped into the lake and committed suicide?"
"Such despicable people should get out of our Akashi Town!"
"Yes! Get out of Akashi Town!"
The pedestrians were furious and spoke out in defense of Song Fanze, throwing snowballs at him.
Some children even took stones from the snow and threw them at him.
Song Fanze was hit on the forehead by a stone, and blood immediately began to flow slowly down his forehead.
Seeing this, some of the children ran away in fear.
Ahead, Young Master Li led a group of people and caught up.
His eyes reddened, filled with malice. "Song Fanze, it's all your fault! You're the one who killed her!"
"Beat them! I'm going to avenge my dead cousin today!"
Song Fanze was immediately pinned down in the snow and beaten by the servants.
He did not resist at all, letting their fists rain down on him.
He was punched and bled, the blood spraying onto the snow.
Looking at the furious Young Master Li, Song Fanze smiled coldly, "You killed Miss Chu. It was your greed and your jealousy that killed her."
After his true feelings were exposed, Young Master Li denied that he was the one who killed his cousin.
"You're the one who killed my cousin!" His face contorted with rage, veins bulging.
"Beat them! Keep hitting them hard!"
The servants' fists and feet came flying at Song Fanze again.
Blood splattered on the snow as Song Fanze, unable to withstand the blows, coughed up blood again.
Fresh blood dripped onto the red rose in her arms.
His eyelids opened and closed, and his vision gradually blurred.
After venting his anger, the other party finally left with his servants.
Passersby avoided Song Fanze with unpleasant expressions.
A moment later, a pair of black boots appeared.
Song Fanze moved his fingers and tried to open his eyes to look over.
…It was Xu An.
Xu An's face was expressionless; his gaze was fixed on the red rose in his arms.
After standing for a while, he squatted down and reached out to take the red rose from his arms.
Song Fanze quickly hugged the red rose tightly.
Xu An used some force to snatch the red rose from his arms.
Song Fanze was extremely weak; he was severely injured and his body was riddled with holes.
He used his last bit of strength to hold onto the red rose tightly, his fingers turning white.
Xu An squatted down and pried off Red Rose's frostbitten, purple, and rotting fingers one by one, forcefully pulling her out of his arms.
The red rose was stolen.
Song Fanze quickly reached out to grab it.
After Xu An received the Crimson Rose, he immediately took a few steps back.
"…don't want!"
Song Fanze tried to get up, but because he couldn't stand steadily, he quickly fell down again.
He crawled over and grabbed the corner of his pants with his blood-stained hand.
"...Please, give her back to me..."
"I don't want anything anymore. You can have the house and the shops. Just give her back to me."
Xu An didn't speak, glanced down at Song Fanze, and then turned and left with Red Rose.
Song Fanze felt a sweet taste in his throat, and a stream of blood spilled from his mouth.
He struggled to his feet, trying to catch up with Xu An. He stumbled a few steps before finally tumbling and falling into the thick snow.
The poison in his body flared up.
His breathing was rapid and weak, each breath accompanied by intense pain.
His body seemed to be torn into countless pieces, and blood gushed from the wounds, staining the white snow red.
Song Fanze curled up in a ball, his body trembling slightly.
Pure white snowflakes drifted down slowly and landed on Song Fanze.
He slightly opened his eyes and gazed at Xu An's already vanished figure.
Suddenly, he seemed to see the girl in red from his dream standing in front of him, smiling sweetly at him.
He seemed to see her running in the snow, dancing gracefully in the snow.
He slowly reached out his hand towards her.
She transformed into human form and smiled at him.
He smiled.
"...I'm sorry, I can't wait for you to wake up..."
Then, he slowly closed his eyes, and his outstretched hand fell to his sides…
The heavy snow lasted a long time, and the thick snow almost covered his body.
Suddenly, a bright red rose sprouted from the snow, and then one after another, red roses slowly emerged from the white snow.
Before long, a large patch of bright red roses gathered around Song Fanze, slowly enveloping him completely.
…He died on the coldest day of winter.
...
In a closed room.
On the desk sat a bright and beautiful red rose.
At that moment, a crystal tear slowly slid down from the petal...
The wooden door creaked open.
Two men walked in from outside; one of them was Xu An, and the other was wearing a yellow mage's robe.
Xu An lowered his voice and asked, "Master, do you really have a way to alter her memories?"
The monk nodded. "Yes."
Xu An was somewhat excited, "Master, I'll temporarily entrust this red rose to you."
The mage paused. "This crimson rose is about to transform into a demon. Are you really going to do this?"
Xu An nodded emphatically, "Mm."
He needs a capable demon to do things for him.
He recalled how he had kindly given meat porridge to those lowly people, but after a month he stopped, they actually came to his house and caused trouble, forcing him to continue distributing porridge.
