A-Xuan looked at the doors. Yan Hao was trying to run with Yan Ning, but he had already sealed the room.

He said, annoyed: "Can you stop already? This room is sealed; you’re not going anywhere."

A-Xuan squatted next to Gao Wei, whose face was drained of blood. He was sweating profusely and had a hard time breathing.

He said arrogantly: "I’m the one who sent a message from your cellphone to lure your subordinate so I could kill them all at once."

Gao Wei stood up, his legs were so weak that he was leaning against the wall. "You—you’re lying. That’s not possible; Yan Ning just said he’s been siphoning you."

A-Xuan approached him and pulled the dagger out of his heart. "You’re right; he has been siphoning just not my essence."

Yan Ning stumbled back, and Yan Hao looked at A-Xuan horrified. He had no idea he knew everything since the beginning and he even killed all the radicals on his own.

If he’s been siphoned then 200 vampires could’ve subdued him, but he killed them all. He asked in a shaky voice: "What did you do to Yan Ning?"

A-Xuan walked to him and asked amusedly: "Don’t you already feel it? Or is your essence that weak?"

He looked at Yan Ning and said: "You’ve always wanted to be the strongest in the kingdom so I made you the weakest. A human."

Yan Ning staggered back against the doors and shook his head. "No, this can’t be true."

A-Xuan smirked. "You’ve been siphoning poison all this time. Since you don’t believe me when I say you’re human, I’ll prove it."

A-Xuan sprinted and broke his arm. An ear-piercing scream resonated in the whole palace. Yan Hao fell to his knees; he looked at A-Xuan with a petrified expression.

A-Xuan looked at Yan Ning and asked: "Do you believe me now, or do you need more proof?"

Yan Ning was in so much pain that he had tears on his face. He looked behind A-Xuan and saw Yan Wang leisurely sitting on the throne, an amused smile on his face.

He ran to him like he was his salvation and begged: "Cousin, you’re not going to let him kill me, right? I would never do something so cruel, yet he’s willing."

"What the fuck did you say?"

A-Xuan was so angry everyone beside Yan Wang started to suffocate because of the pressure of his essence.

He walked slowly to Yan Ning, his eyes filled with hatred. "You were planning on waiting until my husband’s bright slumber ends so you could put him under dark slumber."

A-Xuan snapped his neck and his body fell limp on the floor. He flew across the room, grabbing Yan Hao by the neck.

Between gasps, Yan Hao begged: "Listen, this isn’t what you think, just tell me what you want, and I’ll do it, please. I swear I’ll follow any of your desires."

"You will?"

Yan Hao felt hope and nodded multiple times. "Anything you desire, I swear."

A-Xuan smiled as he said with hatred: "I want you to go into dark slumber."

Yan Hao’s eyes opened wide as A-Xuan ripped his heart out. With one hand, he threw his body and the other turned his heart to dust.

He walked to Gao Wei. "You also tried to kill my husband."

He pulled his heart out and threw it on the floor. After a few seconds, A-Xuan was still smashing it with his foot. Yan Wang got up and circled his arms around his waist.

He whispered in his ear: "It’s okay, I’m okay, wife."

A-Xuan turned, and Yan Wang felt his body shake a little as he hugged him. A-Xuan never felt this angry before. Even when he kept dying as cannon fodder, he felt numb over time, but this time it’s different.

He loves his husband so much that thinking about what they did to him in the original timeline made him want to destroy the entire world. He’s always been like that. Either he didn’t feel anything or he felt too much.

There is no middle ground in his feelings, and that is incredibly scary. What if his Gege thinks he is too intense?

He pulled back, and Yan Wang understood how he felt. "You don’t have to worry about how your feelings; I feel the same way as you do. Most of the time I just want to lock you somewhere so I can be the only one who sees you. I’ve never felt anything before, but ever since you came into my life, it became the opposite. I feel an incredibly strong pull toward you, and I will never let you go."

A-Xuan warned: "You can’t ever."

Yan Wang kissed him, and when he felt his mood stabilizing, he said: "I won’t, my love, I promise."

Hearing his promise, A-Xuan felt much better. In their three previous life, he always respected them.

He hugged him tightly and left after unsealing the room. Yan Lo came in to look at the result.

He looked at A-Xuan with worry. "Are you okay? You seem emotional."

"It has nothing to do with Yan Hao and Yan Ning; it’s just that they wanted to kill Yan Wang."

A-Xuan interlaced their hands. Yan Lo smiled. "Brother, you’re lucky; don’t fuck it up."

Yan Wang smiled and answered seriously: "I won’t." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

A-Xuan pulled him to their royal chambers.

A-Xuan and Yan Wang stayed together for 600 years. When A-Xuan felt like it was time for his husband’s dark slumber, he prepared a grand funeral for him and left the world right after.

Thanks to Yan Wang’s and A-Xuan’s hard work, the vampire and humans were dependent on each other.

When Yan Wang felt his dark slumber approaching, he abolished the law that said only the first son can be king and named Yan Lo his successor. A-Xuan sat in the locus space for a long time after receiving the power from the world.

He feels complicated, like his emotions aren’t his own anymore. How can he love someone to this extent? It’s bound to get him in trouble at some point or another. He thought for a while and left for the next world.
