Spirit of the Phoenix: 116. Get paid

"No..."

The voice was like a gnat, and even she didn't know that she had spoken it.

But he could hear it so clearly, it was like thunder roaring, and the mountains were startled.

At that moment, all the strength flowed from his body.

It was clear that the arrow was on the string, but he couldn't continue anymore, as if he had been pierced by a sharp sword in the chest, he knelt down dejectedly.

"I see..." He stopped, stretched out his trembling hand, and slowly pulled up her messy skirt, with a bitter smile on his lips, "It's my fault, I shouldn't scare you like this... "

He wanted to force her, to force her to confess her sincerity.

But the anger faded, and despair came, but he lost the courage to break the boat, and there was no way to continue.

"Since you don't love me..." He slowly clenched his open skirt tightly, "I...let you go."

The flat tone seemed to be talking about the starry sky and the weather outside the window.

Tai'an suddenly raised his head and looked at the prince in disbelief.

Her shocked eyes were like golden needles, piercing him with scars.

The crown prince lowered his head, smiled wryly and asked softly, "Isn't it embarrassing?"

Thousands of thoughts in his mind wanted to destroy her who didn't love him, he was crazy like wanting to swallow her alive for a second, but she just refused lightly, and it was his own courage that was destroyed first .

"Love is something that shouldn't be compared like this, is it?" His fingers were cold, and he put on the silver jacket that had slipped off her shoulders again, "...I thought you two only met for three days, how can you compare? You and I have been together day and night for four years?"

He wanted to force her to confess her love for him, but in the end she forced herself to face that she didn't love him.

The crown prince stood up gently, and put his hand through her waist.

Tai'an flinched subconsciously. He was in pain like a thousand arrows piercing through his heart.

"Don't worry...it won't happen again in the future." He lowered his eyes, pulled out the "Saint Ancestors" from under her shrinking body, and rubbed it in his hand.

"After meeting you, I have worked hard to seek the throne for the rest of my life, just for one word from you."

He smiled, his eyes flickering: "You said...you want me to ascend the throne, build history and erect monuments for you, and never bear the reputation of deceiving the emperor and treason again."

"But now...since you have something more, all I want is for you to live happily and recklessly." The prince said softly, "If you really want to be with...Ge Shuhai, then I will Let you go free."

He turned around slowly, as if he had made up his mind, he suddenly drew out the dagger beside him, and swiped it on his arm.

Blood poured out like a spring, soaking the thin "Saint Ancestors" in an instant, and disappeared between the pages in the blink of an eye.

The knife wound was deep enough to show the bones, but he seemed dissatisfied, and waved his left hand to do it again.

Tai An flew over and hugged his arm tightly: "Are you crazy? You will go to the battlefield tomorrow, and your hand is injured. How can you fight?"

Her clothes are half off, showing her shoulders. He avoided his eyes, let her hold her, and said softly, "Did you feel it?"

She felt it.

Her primordial spirit hidden in the book devoured his blood like a storm.

The strength of the whole body gradually returned, as if after a long time of hunger, he finally got a full meal. And his blood energy gradually condensed her scattered pieces together.

The prince looked at her tenderly: "With these...you will last for a long time, and you will not be as weak as you are now. Tomorrow I will take you to the battlefield and put the "Saint Ancestors" on my chest. If I win , will save Ge Shuhai's life, and send you...to the Western Regions, to the sea, to be your rangers."

"But if I'm defeated..." He held her chin and looked at her steadfastly, "I'll leave this whole body of blood to you. All the blood will be included in the "Teachings of the Holy Ancestors", in exchange for your soul to be free."

Tai'an raised his head, and was so shocked by his every word that he almost lost his mind.

The desire to die is already there, and all thoughts are lost.

It's that feeling...

That feeling is back.

That feeling that life is going to die and she can't get it back no matter what.

Like the night when the queen's primordial spirit died, like the night when she jumped off the city wall and Sha Yuan died... The feeling she was most afraid of came again.

"No..." Tai'an trembled, afraid that if he didn't explain, he would never have another chance, "I don't want you to die! I never want to be with Ge Shuhai either! I want you to live well, for everyone Yan seeks well-being and inherits the country."

"Don't you understand? I can't be with you, not because I don't love you, but...I'm afraid I will become your burden."

I'm afraid I...kill you.

"Your Highness may not know..." She said with unprecedented gentleness, just like his childhood, listening to strange legends on a summer night in the countryside of Luoyang, "Everything in the world has a definite number. The difference between life and death , there is an insurmountable distance, and anyone who tries to break through life and death will not get satisfactory results.”

"Humans and ghosts have different paths. If we go against the sky, I'm afraid that we...will suffer from heaven's punishment. I have already died once. Even if the primordial spirit dies, it will only puncture the icing on the cake illusion." Tai'an Stretching out his hand, he wiped off the sweat dripping from his forehead, "But you are different. You haven't really lived yet."

You haven't avenged your mother, you haven't been crowned a great treasure, you haven't impressed those who stepped on you, you haven't become a generation of Mingjun, and you haven't left your name in history, and you haven't let the people of Dayan no longer suffer from the war. .

It was like a vague premonition that made her feel unspeakably sad every time she approached him.

"If you're with me, and I'm your burden everywhere. What's the point of me coming back from the dead?" She burst into tears, leaning on his shoulder, "It's hindering you and me from being together, It's never about loving you or not, but about life and death."

The prince grabbed her hand violently, with such force that he was about to strangle her: "Tai'an, how happy is life, what fear is there in death? How do you know your existence? Am I still alive?" Why?"

"You broke my heart, and you have thought hard to leave me, just to let me escape the divine punishment that I don't know whether it exists or not. But if I attack the city tomorrow and die under Ge Shuhai's arrows, what should I do? "

Tai'an was shocked, covered his mouth and reprimanded: "Stop talking!"

The difference between her and him is that he is invincible and omnipotent in her heart, but she never thought that he would die.

The prince gently pulled her hand down, and pressed his forehead against hers: "Shouldn't you, love me while I can still love you?"

He was never afraid of any divine punishment, and lived recklessly, treating every minute and every second as the end before his deathbed.

But she is a ghost, but she is carefully protecting his life.

"Do you... love me or not?" He stared at her for the last time.

Threatened by her innocence, he was completely defeated and failed to get her to confess her sincerity.

He won by threatening his life.

Tai'an couldn't and didn't want to say anything anymore, he just let go of the hand holding him, and threw the book in his hand aside.

She threw herself into his arms like a sinking boat, and when she raised her head again, she pressed her cold lips on his stubble-covered chin.

He is right. No one is a death judge, and cannot know who lives and who dies before the sunset.

She threw away all the uneasiness and fear that lingered in her mind, and exchanged for a lingering death before dawn.

It's a matter of course, it's a coincidence, it's a ecstasy, it's a warm cloud screen with green fragrance, and it's the end of the sunset.

It is what you want.

"Love," she said.
