Looking at her vacant eyes, Chu Yuxiao then realized that his words had scared her.

With his sword-like brows slightly furrowed, he raised his voice to bring her back to her senses, saying:

"Yan’er, don’t think too much.

If you don’t want to see all of this, I can send you back to the palace. I will block any news so that you won’t know anything, and you just need to calmly wait for me to bring back the antidote.

Come on, let me take you to rest for a while, and then arrange for someone to escort you back to the palace. The battlefield is no place for you..."

Su Yan followed him dumbly for a few steps when suddenly she heard terrified screams from under the city wall.

She turned her head to look, just in time to see a boy of about ten years old collapsing in a pool of blood, while a woman was holding him, letting out a painful scream.

Su Yan’s feet immediately stuck to the ground, unable to move.

"Who... who killed him?" She trembled, her lips quivering, as she asked.

Not even sparing a child...

What has Chu Yuxiao’s army become?

Demons?

Chu Yuxiao furrowed his brows and turned her body, pressing her head against his chest, softly comforting her:

"Don’t look, leave everything to me."

"You are devils, beasts! Give me back my child, give me back my child!"

The piercing screams made Su Yan shiver violently, and her tears immediately flowed down.

Gripping Chu Yuxiao’s arm tightly, Su Yan cried out:

"Let them go, let them go quickly! They are innocent, you can’t do this to them!

Chu Yuxiao, I’d rather die, I don’t want to trade someone else’s life for my own! I don’t want the antidote anymore, please let them go, I beg you... I..."

Her vision went black, and Su Yan couldn’t catch her breath, suddenly fainting.

"Yan’er!" Chu Yuxiao caught her body in time and panicked instantly.

...

Blood, blood everywhere.

And the painful cries of people echoed continuously in her ears, intermittently, like a dull knife sawing at her brain, making her head feel like it was about to split.

In her unconscious state, Su Yan kept shaking her head, begging Chu Yuxiao to stop killing, to stop hurting anyone...
