At this moment, he was dressed in a dark informal robe, the wind blowing in from the window caused his long jet-black hair to rise, with a few strands brushing against Su Yan’s cheek.

He lowered his head slightly, his long eyelashes cast down, and his eyes flickered.

"I can’t lose you, you know... I can’t lose you again..." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

His low whispers brushed against Su Yan’s heart, making her feel such pain and discomfort.

She never wanted to leave him, never wanted to die.

However, she didn’t want to exchange someone else’s life for her own.

"Chu Yuxiao, we have a few days left, during this time, promise me not to hurt anyone else, okay? A few days should be enough to find Cang Mo, right?"

There was no response from him.

Su Yan closed her eyes in disappointment, pulled her hand back, turned away from him, and said, "Please leave, I’m tired and want to rest."

The person behind her did not move.

She continued, "Do you think, after getting the antidote this way, I can be with you in peace? Please, don’t do something you’ll regret and suffer for."

Silently, two lines of tears fell.

She didn’t want to threaten him like this, but she had no choice...

"...Fine, I promise you. I won’t harm them for now, but if we don’t find Cang Mo after three days, then you’ll do as I say, okay?"

"...Okay."

Walking out of the room, Chu Yuxiao looked at the gray night sky, his gaze somewhat vacant.

Having lost the Fire Pearl, he had long since lost most of his demonic power.

The last time he attempted the ancient Forbidden Technique, he was forced to stop midway, injuring his heart pulse, and even now, his power remains hindered.

He no longer had the ability to search for someone.

Cang Mo was a ruthless person; Fengdu City had fallen, and he would have found all means to escape.

Now, he stayed here only hoping that he would return to surrender the antidote.

If he doesn’t return, how can he obtain the antidote...

"Your Majesty, the person has been brought."

Chu Yuxiao snapped back to reality, coldly said, "Bring him over."

"Yes."

A guard, bound and tied up, was dragged and thrown at Chu Yuxiao’s feet.
