Both the wind and snow stopped at the business street.

Leng Qingtang got down on one knee and slowly spread his hands. He looked around his body in confusion and shock.

"Why? Why is this happening...? Why...?"

He muttered to himself, frightened. He was shaking.

No one responded.

The killers gathering around him looked as bewildered and dismayed as he did.

"Oh my God, this... What kind of monster is it?"

A clunk of a steel knife falling on snow was followed by a question in panic.

Leng Qingtang touched his head in pain and thought of something suddenly.

"Yunxi... Yunxi—"

He suddenly stood up and rushed to his home.

Huanan Xin was coming!

He was looking for Gu Yunxi!

At this moment, his wife was in a crisis. As her husband, how could he not hurry?

"Catch him!"

Yue Xilou raised his narrow eyes and waved his hands to ask the remaining five men to catch up with Leng Qingtang.

The distance between the accident site and the rental house was not too far. Leng Qingtang was good at levitation. Even if he fought with those killers, he could go back in two hours.

The door of the house in front was closed.

His wife, Gu Yunxi, was in the house.

So was his foe, Huanan Xin.

Hearing his own severe heartbeat, he was burnt up and looked more serious.

Splitting the wooden door by his hands, Leng Qingtang broke in and shouted, "Yunxi—"

In front of the room, two guards, with long swords on their waists, looked surprised when the door was opened. They did not expect that the man, whose life was determined by the emperor, appeared in front of them.

They immediately stepped forward with vigorous strides to prevent Leng Qingtang into the house. However, they heard a sharp voice from Liang Zhen. He shouted, "Your Grace, what's wrong with you! ..... Oh, Your Majesty... How did you get hurt...?"

The guards turned around as if the soles of their feet were fixed and shivered constantly.

A woman covered in blood stumbled out of the house with hair dishevelled and messy clothes.

As warm blood gushed out of her body, the air was filled with pungent blood.

The scene fell into silence.

When Yue Xilou and his people arrived there, like the guards in the yard, they were all startled. They stopped and stared at the blood-soaked beautiful woman leaning against the front of the house. With a sneer, the woman looked through those cruel demons.

Then, in their surprising silence, she dragged her weak body and walked slowly towards her husband.

Thick blood flowed down her body to her delicate ankles.

She walked barefoot through her blood and finally came to him.

Even if he was pierced by knives, Leng Qingtang did not feel any pain. However, at this moment, he was petrified and just looked at the bloody footprints that extended all the way. He only felt that his heart was cut by something and the pain was indescribable.

He was sullen, and his throat throbbed. His eyes were completely blocked by hot tears.

Behind him, a secret guard of the Eastern Depot was frightened by the shocking scene. He swallowed hard, quiveringly raising a steel knife and stabbing into the opponent's backbone.

"Monster, go to hell—"

The knife head went through Leng Qingtang's chest.

At the same time, it seemed that an invisible force attacked Gu Yunxi from her back, causing her vulnerable body to lean forward. In the eyes of the public, her upper body once again appeared a larger gap.

Blood poured freely upon the silver earth.

"Goddamn it—"

Yue Xilou suddenly understood something. He raised his hand and slapped the head of the secret guard hard.

In an instant, the secret guard’s skull was broken and the brain and blood were cracked.

The secret guard said nothing and fell down softly.

Gu Yunxi lay in the arms of the man she loved. With her cold and pale lips, she smiled and struggled to say, "Darling, sorry. I cheated you..."

She raised her bloody hands to touch Leng Qingtang's face, "That day I went to town with Hua'er... to find the witch... I had a heart-by-heart blood bond with you. I am Evilshield. From now on, no one can hurt you."

"Yunxi..."

Leng Qingtang tried to reply but failed.

He didn't forget his cold war with her, for which he was remorseful.

He covered her cold, blood-stained little hand with his warm hands and looked at her bitter white face with painful eyes.

Tears broke down. He leaned close to his wife's forehead and cried, "Darling, Yunxi...You're innocent!"

Her body temperature was dropping and her breathing was faint.

She tried to concentrate and gaze into the man's face.

Before she died, her only wish was to see every inch of his eyebrows and expressions and remember his voice and the time they spent together in her heart and soul.

She thought she wouldn't be lonely when she left with those memories.

With those nightmares, she had a hunch that Huanan Xin would probably turn against her and find them at any time.

She promised An He to protect her husband and make him happy. So she thought of this method.

She always knew Huanan Xin's feelings to her. Therefore, if she was Evilshield of Leng Qingtang, Once Huanan Xin hurt him, she was the only one who could be destroyed.

Only when Huanan Xin completely lost his love, he would become discouraged, which was a powerful blow to him.

In other words, if Huanan Xin launched an attack, her death meant her darling's survival.

At this time, she finally fulfilled her promise. She smiled with an elegant look like a quiet broad-leaved epiphyllum at night. It was beautiful but transient.

"Darling, I love you. The most beloved man in my life is you..."

She looked at him with deep love. The tears in her eyes showed her reluctance. She bore her pain and poured out in a low voice intermittently, "If the world is not benevolent, I would like to stand in the way of all kinds of suffering for you to protect you. Darling, live forever and ever and ever..."

As her sound faded away, her cold, blood-stained hands slipped from the man's face.

The woman in his arms fell asleep soundly with a charming smile. Her face was forever beautiful.

His heart was aching. Leng Qingtang painfully gritted his teeth and whimpered with tears flowing.

As time went by, memories ran like a flood. Many pictures flashed from his mind one by one.

Spring Banquet, suffering from set-up, poisoning, and exchange of antidote...

A scene of love-hate, misunderstanding, tripping, and a scene of separation, life and death, reunion ...

So many times, this strong and brave woman stood in front of him regardless of her safety. Now she still left him the hope of life.

On the opposite, Huanan Xin broke through the guards' prevention with a blood-stained robe. He was paralyzed in the snow after only two steps and became pale.

Did Gu Yunxi die?

Gu Yunxi died!

In any case, he could not accept the cruel blow in front of him.

Now he had the imperial power in hand but lost his love.

Was this Gu Yunxi's hatred? Was it Gu Yunxi's punishment?

She knew that he loved her, but he got an indelible regret for his life. Was that heart-tingling feeling the price he must pay for?

Huanan Xin laughed wanly, and directly looked at the man on the opposite who held the sleeping woman blankly.

"Put her down. She's mine!"

With this sad shout, the Eastern Depot and the guards once again were about to attack Leng Qingtang.

"Get out!"

Leng Qingtang roared furiously. He looked at the opponents with sharp eyes and finally stared at the emperor in the snow.

"Isn't it enough?"

He glared at him and frowned. It seemed that fire would erupt from his phoenix eyes.

"Isn't it enough that you killed Yunxi? Are you satisfied if you still have to kill more people? Come on—"

Huanan Xin burst into tears and gave a sad smile. He stretched his hands slowly, "Uncle, Yunxi is dead. She is a dead person. Can't you give her to me? I won't kill you. I won't kill you anymore. I just ask you to give her back to me."

Leng Qingtang resentfully gritted his teeth, "No way!"

"Yunxi is dead. She was killed by you. Don't you know that?"

With a heartache, Leng Qingtang stepped back and desperately shook his head, "No, no. You're talking nonsense!"

Huanan Xin gave a mild smile and said in a cool and vicious voice, "At that time, if Uncle killed me on Kunhuang Island, Yunxi would not die and your men of the Eastern Depot would not die. In the end, it was your indecision that killed them, wasn't it?"

Leng Qingtang was rendered speechless and looked pale. He looked at the quiet woman in his arms with heartbreak.

Huanan Xin suddenly lost his mind with coldness in his narrow eyes. He raised his hand and questioned in a ferocious voice, "Uncle, you should ask your heart. In the past, did Yunxi have a peaceful life in the Eastern Depot and Master's Mansion? She bled and cried all because of you. She focused on you and loved you, which made others envious. I can't understand how can you get her love and heart—"

"I was the one who killed Yunxi..."

"It was me!"

Leng Qingtang stood in the snow absent-mindedly. His eyes were painful due to the light of snow.

His painful look up to the sky. All of a sudden, he opened his eyes and roared sorrowfully, "Ah—"

The cold wind blew again and the snowflakes became red when falling on the ground. They seemed to be plum blossoms with remaining petals flying.

Tears rolled wildly down his pale face.

His black hair, raised in the wind and his desperate cry, gradually became white at that moment. Like the permanent frost, it was awe-inspiring and shocking.
