"Okay, okay—"
Yin Changling's eyes instantly turned completely red. He felt as if his heart had been torn apart, and the pain was so intense that he could no longer breathe.
He has completely lost the ability to think, and is teetering on the brink of collapse. One more step and he will fall off a cliff.
"You heartless woman, why did you provoke me?"
Yin Changling couldn't quite describe his feelings; he only felt as if a merciless iron hand was crushing his heart.
He pulled Tu Shan Lingxi into his arms, holding her tightly with both hands, his eyes fixed on her, trying to see into her heart.
"Yin Changling, I really regret it, I really regret meeting you. I wish we had never met."
As Tu Shan Lingxi was held like this, her mind was in a mess. One moment she thought of the day they first met, and the next she thought of Tu Shan Susu.
Before she knew it, her eyes had suddenly welled up with tears. Why had everything changed so abruptly?
"What? You're denying our past?"
Yin Changling had never felt so helpless before. It was as if he had heard some huge joke, mocking his incompetence.
My heart has already been severely wounded, yet new wounds keep appearing, stabbing me again and again, making the pain even worse.
He kept thinking to himself, how could there be such a heartless woman in the world, making him despair, suffocate, and completely mad...
"Hahahaha, I was so foolish, I actually believed you would fall in love with me, and I was still waiting for you stupidly in the palace—"
Yin Changling's voice was filled with sorrow, but he didn't shed a single tear. His eyes were empty, as if he were telling someone else's story.
Little did they know that his appearance was even more terrifying; the despair beneath his calm surface carried a genuine sense of annihilation.
"Tu Shan Ling Xi, you were the one who deceived me first, why are you still so greedy, hurting me so recklessly?"
Yin Changling's voice became increasingly sorrowful. He suddenly looked at Tu Shan Lingxi and asked that question again, almost in despair.
"Do you truly have not a single ounce of genuine affection for me?"
Tu Shan Lingxi was shocked by the grief in his eyes. As he spoke, she recalled everything the two of them had experienced.
Suddenly, she didn't want to listen anymore, didn't want to think anymore, and even large tears rolled down her cheeks. She also felt that she had been too cruel to him.
"Yin Changling, so our meeting was a mistake. Let's not make things worse and let each other go."
Tu Shan Lingxi's voice was heavy with sobs, her eyes were red, and the exhaustion of the past few days had overwhelmed her.
She shook her head helplessly, hoping that Yin Changling could let him go, and also let herself go, so that they could go their separate ways.
Tu Shan Lingxi was completely unaware that it was precisely her words that further enraged Yin Changling.
He was like a dying beast watching its cubs, which it had sworn to protect, being bitten to death.
Yin Changling finally couldn't hold back any longer and uttered the words that had been buried deep in his heart for so long.
"Then let's all die together!"
With red eyes, Yin Changling pressed Tu Shanlingxi against the wall and landed a burning kiss on her lips. This kiss carried a taste of despair.
His sudden action caught Tu Shan Lingxi completely off guard, and in an instant, her breath was taken away, leaving her almost unable to breathe.
"Yin Changling, have you gone mad?"
Tu Shan Lingxi finally broke free and slapped the man hard, her spiritual power piercing through his chest and drawing blood.
Yin Changling clutched his chest, unable to describe his feelings, but the physical pain was excruciating, tearing at his very core; every part of his body ached!
He lowered his head, his whole body trembling, exuding an aura of dejection that made one's heart ache for him.
"Hehe, hehehehe, Xi'er is really heartless."
"I……"
Tu Shan Lingxi was initially filled with anger, but when she saw him hanging his head, looking utterly hopeless, she felt a moment of tenderness.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found her throat terribly tight, unable to utter a sound.
"Hehehehehe, Xi'er, didn't you want to save Wan Qijin? I'm giving you this chance; it's all up to you to seize it."
Yin Changling chuckled softly. His next words surprised Tu Shan Lingxi, and her expression turned serious.
Even though Tu Shan Lingxi knew there was a trap involved, she had no choice but to obey Yin Changling's words.
In her heart, Wan Qijin's life was more important than anything else, because the twists and turns of two lifetimes had caused him to die because of her, and Tu Shan Lingxi was on the verge of collapse.
Tu Shan Lingxi had become a gambler at this point, and she would seize any opportunity to revive Wan Qijin.
She couldn't care less about anything else now. She personally grabbed Yin Changling by the collar, her brows furrowed, and pressed him for answers with a serious expression.
"You really do have a way, Yin Changling, you really did know. Speak—"
Tu Shan Lingxi then pricked up her ears and listened carefully, her eyes filled with longing—a longing to be able to revive Wan Qijin.
Yin Changling saw it clearly, and that was why his heart was so desolate, even filled with boundless sorrow.
He realized Tu Shan Lingxi's true feelings; her heart was truly filled with the three words "Wan Qijin," and she was willing to pay any price for Wan Qijin.
I don't care if I have to sacrifice myself, or even everyone else!
Since that's the case, a hint of madness appeared in Yin Changling's eyes. If others saw it, they would definitely be terrified.
He thought, since Tu Shan Lingxi is willing to sacrifice everything for Wan Qijin, then let her sacrifice herself.
“I have an ancient scroll that can revive him, but I cannot give it to you just like that.”
"Just tell me what you want."
When Tu Shan Lingxi heard him say that he could save Wan Qijin, her heart pounded instantly, as heavy as a drum.
Her originally pale face instantly flushed, a blush that didn't represent shyness or timidity, but rather excitement.
However, even though Tu Shan Lingxi's blush was so alluring, Yin Changling showed no joy on his face, and even felt a sense of sorrow for himself.
He stared intently at the beauty before him, and after a long while, he finally spoke, his voice filled with ruthlessness.
"Since you disdain being a queen, then I will give you the opportunity to be my concubine, to do whatever you want, to serve me, and to suffer my torment."
"Whenever I'm in a good mood, I'll reward you with this, how about it?"
After Yin Changling finished speaking, he stared intently into Tu Shanlingxi's eyes, both hoping she would agree and hoping she wouldn't.
He hoped she would agree because he could use this opportunity to keep her by his side.
