Ling Yongnian looked at Mo Yunzhao's serious expression, which showed no sign of joking, and his face darkened.
"Lord Mo, I have never done anything to wrong you, so why do you have to try to insult me?"
Mo Yunzhao looked up at him. "Ling Yongnian, if you want to win my favor, then show me your sincerity. It's just crawling like a dog and crawling between my legs. It's not like you're going to die. What's wrong with that?"
"A man's dignity is more important than his life." Ling Yongnian's blood boiled, and no matter how much he wanted to please others, he would not humiliate himself.
Mo Yunzhao gave a mocking scoff, "Isn't a woman's dignity also dignity?"
Wasn't this the same method he used to test her sincerity towards him?
"Mo Yunzhao, you have never believed in my feelings for you and have insulted me at every turn, but my feelings for you will never change."
Ling Yongnian looked down at Mo Yunzhao's cold face and said, "Then I will prove it to you."
Mo Yunzhao raised her eyes and looked at him coldly, "Is it proof that you crawl like a dog, or proof that you die?"
Ling Yongnian took out a dagger, its sharp edge gleaming with a chilling light.
He forcefully shoved the dagger into Mo Yunzhao's hand, then pointed to his own heart, "Dig out my heart, and you will prove that it beats for you, that only you live here."
Mo Yunzhao glanced at him, then at the gleaming dagger.
Tender words of love are pleasant to hear, but they are sharper and more hurtful than a dagger, because every word hides a needle, waiting to strike at the heart later.
She twirled the dagger, slightly raising her eyes. "You think I wouldn't dare?"
Ling Yongnian smiled gently and poked his chest hard. "Come on, as long as you don't dislike me, it's all worth it."
Mo Yunzhao looked at the sharp dagger, then stared at Ling Yongnian's chest.
"Mo Yunzhao, let's do it." Ling Yongnian straightened his chest, raised his chin, and closed his eyes.
Mo Yunzhao found the perfect spot for a fatal blow, raised the dagger, and plunged it down hard.
"Mo Yunzhao, stop!"
Princess Ning'an's shout made Mo Yunzhao stop halfway through his stabbing and turn his head to look at her.
Her hand, which was holding the dagger, was suddenly gripped and then pulled by force.
Pfft.
The dagger pierced flesh, and blood splattered.
Mo Yunzhao looked down in surprise and saw that the tip of the dagger had already pierced Ling Yongnian's chest. Although it wasn't deep, it had still gone in.
And her hand was being held by Ling Yongnian.
He took her hand and pierced his heart.
Ling Yongnian smiled at her, his expression gentle and affectionate, "Lord Mo, now, do you believe me?"
"Third brother!" Princess Ning'an rushed up.
Bang bang bang.
Outside the ship, countless dazzling fireworks burst forth, illuminating the pitch-black night.
Ling Yongnian smiled at her, "Mo Yunzhao, I love you. It's alright if I die at your hands now."
Amidst the dazzling fireworks, a man's act of declaring his love through death is the most lethal.
But Mo Yunzhao only felt disgust and rising hatred, and was about to grip the dagger and give him a final blow.
Ling Yongnian, however, drew his dagger, closed his eyes, and smiled as he fell backward.
She pulled out the dagger, and blood splattered, instantly staining her hands.
Princess Ning'an shouted urgently, and the maids serving her screamed in terror, while outside, the fireworks continued to blaze brightly.
Mo Yunlan, who had followed, was a little confused. "What's he doing here?"
Princess Ning'an called Ling Yongnian several times, but he did not wake up. When he finally looked up, tears streamed down his face, and he was filled with anger and hatred.
"It was I who called my third brother. He just wanted to apologize to Lord Mo. He did nothing wrong. How could you kill him? I had previously believed that you were not an unreasonable person."
