Chapter 360
Changsheng stood there, his eyes seemingly cracked, his face covered, making it impossible to see his expression.
Nalan Jingwen deliberately tried to disgust him; after all, he disgusted himself first.
She didn't have the energy to guess what the other person was thinking. Since he couldn't speak, she should just shut up.
Everything between them ended the day his deception was revealed.
Changsheng stood there, looking at her for a long time, as if trying to confirm something.
Finally, he chuckled softly.
"The prince remains as ruthless as ever."
Nalan Jingwen did not respond to him. Pei Yunche seemed to realize something and silently tightened his arms.
Chang Sheng suddenly turned his face away and looked back. Two men appeared at the door, holding a woman in their arms. They forcibly brought her in, one on each side. Nalan Jingwen was stunned when he saw the woman's face.
Ah Man, with a sour face, was reluctantly led in, but when she met Nalan Jingwen's eyes, the anger in her eyes vanished and was replaced by astonishment.
After being released, she quickly walked towards Nalan Jingwen. Upon seeing this, Pei Yunche subconsciously took two steps back. Aman grabbed his clothes and, to Pei Yunche's shocked gaze, swiftly checked Nalan Jingwen's pulse.
The surprise in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a solemn expression.
"You've gotten yourself into this state after all this time?"
Nalan Jingwen pursed his lips and looked at her without saying a word.
Aman released her hand, turned to Changsheng behind her and said, "You forcibly kidnapped me just to cure her?"
Before Changsheng could speak, she plopped down on the recliner.
"It's incurable."
"His fate is sealed; he may die."
Pei Yunche's pupils contracted, his knees buckled, and he knelt heavily on the ground. Aman was startled and quickly shifted her position.
"I've seen this trick of yours many times. If you can't cure me, you can't cure me. Kneeling to me won't help."
"His tendons and veins are severed, his hands and feet are useless, his dantian is destroyed, not to mention the numerous injuries on his body. His body is showing signs of deterioration. Even a god couldn't save him."
Pei Yunche tried his best to suppress his emotions and asked in a trembling voice, "Is there really no way to reverse the situation?"
Aman glanced at him and said, "Yes."
Nalan Jingwen turned his head and said to Pei Yunche, "Get up."
Pei Yunche looked down at her, his eyes frighteningly red, "What should we do..."
Nalan Jingwen remained silent. He quickly stood up, picked Nalan Jingwen up, and carried him into the house, comforting him as they walked: "It's alright. She can't cure you, but I'll find someone who can. I don't believe that in this vast world, there isn't a single person who can cure you!"
I don't know if I was saying this to comfort her or to comfort myself.
"Let's go, let's go now."
Looking at his gaunt face, Nalan Jingwen calmly said, "There's no need to go through with this anymore."
Pei Yunche didn't pause at all, as if he hadn't heard. Nalan Jingwen raised his voice and repeated, "Stop messing around, Pei Yunche."
Pei Yunche suddenly stopped, his eyes bloodshot, a thin layer of tears already covering them. He looked down at her, as if all his sorrow and pain were frozen in those tears.
He roared in despair, "What do you mean by 'making a fuss'? I haven't given up yet, Nalan Jingwen, what gives you the right to give up?!"
"You want me to give up just because some unknown person is spouting nonsense that makes no sense!"
"Nalan Jingwen, what gives you the right?!"
Tears streamed down his cheeks. Nalan Jingwen closed his eyes as if he couldn't bear it any longer, ignoring the pain welling up in his heart, and spoke calmly yet cruelly:
"If she says that, then there is no one in the world who can cure her."
Like a heavy hammer blow, it struck Pei Yunche's already shaky heart with a dull thud, leaving only a buzzing sound in his ears.
Aman was initially angry at Pei Yunche's words and was about to stand up to argue when a sword flashed before her eyes and she felt a cold touch on her neck. She looked up and met Changsheng's calm and indifferent eyes.
She raised an eyebrow. "You want to kill me?"
Changsheng ignored her provocation, his voice flat yet tinged with coldness.
"Either save her or die."
"choose one."
Aman scoffed, rolled her eyes, and leaned back, lying directly on the recliner, letting the sharp sword rest against her neck.
"To be honest, you two are a match made in heaven. When I said you were going to die, she coerced and tempted me, even risking her own life, to save you."
Changsheng listened to her words, his dark pupils fixed on her, his long eyelashes drooping and trembling almost imperceptibly, but he did not move.
Ah Man found a comfortable position to lie down and continued, "And you, you went to great lengths to capture me, and then rushed here to have me save her. Now you want to kill me because of her. That's why we say you two are a match made in heaven."
Selfish, extreme, and ruthless.
"But even if you kill me, I'll still say the same thing: if I can't save you, I can't save you."
The sword pressed closer to his neck. "How do I know you're not lying to me?"
Aman was not afraid at all. "I have a certain relationship with her. To put it nicely, we are half friends. How could I stand by and watch a friend die?"
"but……"
She glanced in Pei Yunche's direction, her tone suddenly becoming somewhat heavy.
"If it had been earlier, I might have been able to give it a try."
"too late……"
It's too late now.
Changsheng's frail body swayed almost imperceptibly. The attendant beside him seemed to notice something was wrong and wanted to sheathe his sword and return to his side, but without his order, he dared not make any other move.
He closed his eyes briefly to conceal his emotions, then opened them again and walked towards Nalan Jingwen.
Pei Yunche disliked Changsheng and took two steps back to distance himself from him. Changsheng didn't look at him, but stared at Nalan Jingwen, curling his lips into a smile. His eyes were captivating and alluring as he said, "Your Highness, you can't die now."
“If you die, I’m afraid Nalan Yin won’t be able to survive either.”
What do you mean?
Nalan Jingwen frowned, not quite understanding the meaning behind his words.
Changsheng met her questioning gaze and said calmly, as if he were talking about something very ordinary, "You and Nalan Yin have formed a life-and-death curse. The so-called life-and-death curse is to link the lives of two people together. If one of them dies, the other cannot live either. In fact, all your pain will be reflected back to him, truly achieving the goal of living and dying together."
"However, the life-and-death curse on you is a little different. He must have tampered with it. For him, if you die, he will die with you, but if he dies, nothing will happen to you."
Changsheng looked at her shocked expression, his emotions well concealed, his voice as light and charming as ever, as if he were coquettish.
"If Your Highness does not wish him to die, then you can only do your best to live."
