Yang Ningchang slowly turned her head toward Zhu Ding. "I swear upon my life. I'll use everything I have to make you pay the price."
Rumble—
It was as though heaven had acknowledged Yang Ningchang's swearing oath. A bolt of thunder suddenly descended, accompanied by a fierce thunder roar.
Zhu Ding's face was unsightly beyond words at the moment. His body was trembling as he was so furious. He stared at Yang Ningchang gloomily for a while and said. "Are you sure you want to do this?"
Yang Ningchang responded calmly. "I always stand by my words."
Hearing this, Zhu Ding's breath became heavy. His expression suddenly turned savaged as he laughed wildly. "Hahaha. Good! Very good! I'll wait for that day."
Zhu Ding didn't say anything further and walked out of the scene. The Dragon Soul team members glanced at each other and hurriedly followed Zhu Ding behind.
After Zhu Ding went away, Qin Yi hesitated briefly and decided to say it. "Miss Yang, I didn't dare to give you advice, but I have to remind you something. The water is deeper than you think. There are a lot of people involved in this. You have to think about it carefully."
Without waiting for Yang Ningchang to answer, Qin Yi waved his hand and left the scene with his team.
Yang Ningchang and Lynn looked at each other for a while before walking to Yun Lintian's side.
Seeing Yun Lintian's lifeless body up close, Lynn could not suppress the grief in her heart anymore and cried aloud while hugging him. "Why did you leave me again? Why?"
Yang Ningchang couldn't bear to see this scene. She raised her head to look at the moon in the sky, trying to prevent the tears from coming out.
At this moment, Yun Lintian and Xia Yao's illusory figures watch the scene playing before them silently. They could clearly feel how much pain and sorrowful Yang Ningchang and Lynn have right now. Especially Yun Lintian. His illusory body trembled slightly as he was overwhelmed by guilt.
"You see. They all love you with all their hearts. Yet you still let them down in the end." Xia Yao turned to face Yun Lintian and said calmly.
Yun Lintian let out a long sigh and said. "What's the use of saying it now?"
"Of course, there is." Xia Yao said with a faint smile. "I just want you to learn how to cherish someone who loves you."
Yun Lintian looked at Xia Yao in confusion. He had already died. What was the point in learning it?
Xia Yao didn't say anything and waved her hand gently. The surroundings instantly changed, and both of them appeared in a shabby bedroom.
On the bed, a white-haired old woman was lying weakly. Her face was full of wrinkles, and there was a sorrow between her brows. It was as though she had never felt happy once in her life.
Standing aside was a young woman in her twenties. Judging from her posture and look, she seemed to be a servant. The young woman covered the old woman with a quilt and said softly. "You should take some rest, Old Lady."
The old woman didn't seem to hear her words as she kept staring at the ceiling.
Seeing this, the young woman let out a soft sigh and walked out of the room.
Yun Lintian stared attentively at the old woman. For some reason, his heart was extremely disturbed just by watching her.
"You don't know here?" Xia Yao asked softly.
Yun Lintian's brows knitted together, trying to figure out who was this old lady.
Xia Yao turned to look at the old woman and said. "She's Yang Ningchang."
Yun Lintian blurted out immediately. "Impossible!"
Xia Yao curled her lips and said. "How is it impossible? This is her at the end of her life." She paused for a moment and said. "She did everything as she said back then. After you died, she had sacrificed everything in her possession to avenge you. She was later expelled from her Yang family and was forced to a dead end by Zhu Ding. The reason why she was still alive until now was that her father had secretly helped her… This is the result of her obsession."
Yun Lintian was trembling. He looked at Yang Ningchang, who had long lost her luster with indescribable feelings. He didn't expect she would end up like this because of him.
"If you chose to live up back then, perhaps this would never happen." Xia Yao said.
Yun Lintian's lips shook slightly as he muttered. "I'm sorry, Ningchang."
At this moment, Yang Ningchang seemed to hear something. Her dimmed eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly turned her head toward Yun Lintian's position.
"Lintian… Is that you?" Yang Ningchang spoke softly. Tears had already flushed her eyes. She didn't care whether the man in front of her was an illusion.
Yun Lintian was shocked. He didn't understand what was going on right now until Xia Yao pushed him gently and said. "Go. Talk to her."
Yun Lintian was pushed forward and arrived nearby the bed. He looked at Yang Ningchang, who struggled to get up with complicated feelings.
A moment later, he uttered. "I'm sorry. It was me who harmed you."
Yang Ningchang seemed to possess strength all of a sudden. She got up from the bed and hurriedly moved forward. "Is it you, Lintian? Tell me, is it really you?"
Yun Lintian smiled sadly and held her shoulders. "It's me."
Yang Ningchang sobbed heavily and plunged herself into his arms. "I know you would be somewhere around me for all this time… I miss you so much."
Yun Lintian didn't know what to say at this moment. He could only pat her back and listen to her.
After a while, Yang Ningchang raised her head to look at Yun Lintian and said softly. "You are still handsome as ever… Too bad. I have become an ugly old woman now."
Yun Lintian gently wiped the tears from her face and said. "No. You are still as beautiful as before."
Yang Ningchang laughed slightly and suddenly coughed heavily. Blood spilled out from her mouth and splashed on Yun Lintian's body.
Yun Lintian was stunned as he could perceive Yang Ningchang's vitality leaving her body at the fastest speed.
