Ximen Chang’s pupils constricted.

  Using his crutches, he strode toward the villa.

  The bodyguards, who had followed him, wanted to pull Ximen Chang back, but he waved them away.

  Ximen Chang rushed into the villa.

  The fire had originated from the master bedroom on the second floor. The wind was blowing tonight and the fire spread very quickly.

  Ximen Chang covered his mouth with a handkerchief and ran to the second floor with his weak body.

  The bedroom door was locked but he knocked it open.

  After the door opened, he saw a tall figure wearing a white shirt lying on the bed.

  He was surrounded by a scorching fire.

  Ximen Chang rushed over and grabbed that person’s arm.

  The person on the bed had drunk a lot.

  Opening his eyes drunkenly, his pupils constricted slightly when he saw Ximen Chang pulling him. However, he calmed down very quickly.

  “You’re still alive.”


  Ximen Chang said hoarsely, “Come out with me!”


  Tang En shook Ximen Chang’s hand away, his handsome face turning more ferocious. “I’m leaving soon, shouldn’t you be happy? Or do you want to capture me and let me experience a life worse than death?”


  The surrounding fire made the temperature in the room scorching.

  Ximen Chang’s body was injured. Although he had recovered a little over the past few days, he was still weak. He could not pull Tang En up from the bed.

  “Enen, get up and come with me.”


  He still called him Enen at this time.

  Tang En looked at Ximen Chang and shook his hand off. “Stop pretending, alright? Saving me will only make me suffer more! I’m already satisfied that I got my revenge and made you experience a life worse than death!”


  Instead of leaving, Ximen Chang sat by the bed.

  His feminine eyes looked at Tang En deeply. “The environment I grew up in made me stubborn and dark. Actually, I felt bad every time I hurt you. But you didn’t listen to me, and I wanted to teach those who didn’t listen to me a lesson… But I forgot that you weren’t my subordinate or my pet. You’re my savior and the most important person to me…”


  The smoke from the fire in the room was so choking that one could hardly open their eyes. Seeing that Tang En was unwilling to leave, Ximen Chang lay down beside him.

  When Tang En saw Ximen Chang’s actions, his pupils constricted in shock.

  “Ximen Chang, what are you doing?”


  “I’ll go with you.”


  “Scram, I don’t need you!” Tang En knew that his sins were unforgivable. He could not live the life he wanted anymore. His ending was destined to be a tragedy.

  He would rather die in this house that had been a warm memory to him.

  Ximen Chang looked at Tang En, a smile slowly appearing on his feminine face. “Whether you believe it or not, I never really hated you for what you did to me.”


  Tang En was shocked.

  He had made him live a life that was worse than death—one that was painful and unbearable—yet he did not hate him?

  “I owe you a lot. I regret not treating you well in the past.” Ximen Chang closed his eyes as a tear fell from the corner of his eye. “I hope that when I’m in the netherworld, I can take all the blame. I can plead with Hades to let you reincarnate. I’m willing to be reincarnated as a pig or a slave in my next life.”


  Tang En looked at Ximen Chang in disbelief.

  The expression in his eyes flickered under the light of the fire.

  With a bang, the lights in the room crashed to the ground because of the heat.

  The scorching heat burned their skin.

  Tang En sat up from the bed suddenly. He pulled Ximen Chang up and pushed him out.

  Ximen Chang grabbed Tang En’s arm as well.

  If they wanted to stay, they would stay together. If they wanted to leave, they had to leave together.

  Just as the two of them walked to the door, something fell from the roof. Tang En pushed Ximen Chang away quickly.

  Tang En was hit and fell to the ground.

  When Ximen Chang saw this, he returned without any hesitation.

  Suddenly, something fell from the roof.

  It hit Ximen Chang.

  He fell beside Tang En.

  Tang En looked at Ximen Chang, his eyes red. “You… why…”


  A smile appeared on Ximen Chang’s feminine face. He was very handsome when he smiled, but he had seldom smiled in the past. “I’ve already handed the reins of the Ximen family to Ah Jin. He will do a good job… I have nothing to worry about anymore. I have to go to Hades’ palace to ask for forgiveness and let you be forgiven.”


  “I caused you to become like this. I committed grave sins. It’s all my fault.”


  Tang En opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but his consciousness had already blurred.

  Countless images appeared in his mind.

  Before he fell into endless darkness, he thought that Xiao Ying would appear, but the one who appeared was Ximen Chang.

  Tang En’s lips moved and Ximen Chang saw him say, “I don’t blame you anymore.” Then, he slowly closed his eyes.

  …


  By the time the bodyguards rushed in, the two of them had already fallen into the sea of fire.

  …


  A week later.

  Long Ming slowly woke up.

  Opening his eyes, he stared at the white ceiling and the white walls. He was dazed for a moment.

  This should be the hospital, not the underground palace.

  “Brother Long Ming, you’re awake?”


  A soft female voice sounded by his ear. Long Ming turned around and saw the woman standing by the bed. He frowned slightly. “Liu Yiyi?”


  Liu Yiyi nodded hurriedly. “Yes, it’s me.”


  Long Ming’s expression darkened and his dark eyes shot a poisonous gaze. “Why are you here?”


  Long Ming looked around the ward. Apart from Liu Yiyi, there was no one else around.

  Liu Yiyi did not know what Long Ming was looking for. Hearing his cold tone, she was slightly disappointed. “After Your Majesty was hospitalized, I took care of you here every day. Miss Long only came once or twice.”


  Long Ming pursed his lips slightly. “Where are the others?”


  “Granny was worried about you and came every day. Mo Tian also came, but only I stayed here.”


  Long Ming’s expression was cold and did not change.

  “Brother Long Ming…”


  Before she could finish, Long Ming interrupted her coldly. “I’m not your brother. Address me as Your Majesty.”


  Liu Yiyi was stunned by Long Ming’s words.

  “Also, I’m not interested in you. Don’t keep gossiping in front of Granny.”


  Tears fell from Liu Yiyi’s eyes.

  Unable to withstand his coldness, Liu Yiyi covered her mouth and ran out crying.

  Not long after Liu Yiyi left, Mo Tian came over.

  Seeing that Long Ming was awake, he hurriedly got the doctor to come over and do a checkup for him.

  An hour later, the doctor said to Long Ming, “Your Majesty, as long as you rest properly, you will recover from your injuries. The blood clot in your mind is also slowly dissipating. In my opinion, you don’t have to undergo surgery and it won’t be long before you recover.”


  After the doctor left, Long Ming looked at Mo Tian. His lips moved, wanting to say something, but he stopped himself.

  “Your Majesty, the latest news is that Ximen Chang and Tang En both died in the villa where Miss Ying once lived in R Country.”
