Chapter 128: Willing to Embrace Death

Zhou Min glared at the smug Xie Beihan, almost grinding her teeth in frustration.

The people she brought with her were almost completely wiped out, and even Jiang Tian fell into their trap!

She had lost!

And she had no idea where Chu Nanli and Ye Siheng were at this moment!

Chu Hanlin also arrived with his guards, his voice cold as he said, "It was you, stealing my son’s hair to harm the prince? Now, you have nowhere to escape."

Zhou Min sneered, "Just a few people trying to stop my footsteps? Simply delusional!"

She took out a paralyzing talisman and threw it while using a teleportation talisman herself.

Chu Hanlin made a move earlier, injuring Zhou Min, hoping to seize the teleportation talisman from her.

However, Zhou Min held onto it tightly, refusing to let go even if it meant getting hurt.

A golden light flashed by, and she disappeared without a trace.

Chu Hanlin furrowed his brows, feeling a sense of regret.

"She got away just like that?"

Xie Beihan looked at the bloodstains on the ground and asked, "Should we still keep an eye on Sixth Sister?"

"She’s injured and should be unable to cause any more trouble," Chu Hanlin said.

"You should go back to the mansion."

"Alright," Xie Beihan replied.

Indeed, Nanli was neither in the Mansion of Prince Yu nor the Anyang Marquis Mansion.

She had already taken Ye Siheng and went to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

As soon as the hour arrived, she used a red thread to connect Ye Siheng’s wrist and then set up a blood formation.

A brilliant golden light appeared, and she immediately entered Ye Siheng’s dream, where his soul was sealed.

It was dim all around, with no moonlight or sunlight, only herself.

Nanli had anticipated this and remained calm.

In this sealed place, she could only bring her soul and not any talisman.

After a moment, the darkness receded.

Before her eyes, she saw familiar plants and trees—it was the Mansion of Prince Yu!

A maid pushed Nanli and said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go."

Nanli snapped back to her senses and realized she was wearing the same maid attire, holding a food box in her hand.

Her soul was sealed, and this was Ye Siheng’s dream.

Nanli had a thought and wanted to see what kind of dream he was having.

She followed the other maids to the Wutong Courtyard, where Ye Siheng resided.

As soon as she entered the room, Nanli saw "herself" and two children, while Ye Siheng, dressed in black, played with the children on the side, his face gentle and filled with happiness.

The boy clamored, "Father, you promised to teach me archery today."

The girl immediately said, "No, Father promised to teach me the zither today."

The two children each held one of Ye Siheng’s hands, not letting go of each other.

The fake Nanli smiled and said, "Don’t bother your father one by one. Mother can also shoot arrows. Let me teach you."

After some consideration, the boy reluctantly agreed.

A family of four, full of joy.

Nanli had already set the table with the maids’ help.

She couldn’t help but glance over there, feeling a strange emotion in her heart.

This was Ye Siheng’s dream, and it turned out to be marrying herself and having children.

Twins, to be exact.

After entering, Nanli had only one hour and couldn’t delay any longer.

She gritted her teeth and no longer hesitated, forming hand seals with both hands and striking the fake Nanli and the two children.

In an instant, the illusion disappeared.

"A’li!" Ye Siheng’s face turned pale, his voice filled with pain.

He reached out his hand, wanting to hold onto this beautiful dream.

Nanli pulled him over and said, "Wake up, my lord. I am the real Nanli."

However, Ye Siheng’s eyes turned fierce.

In his eyes, the Nanli in the dream had a slight difference in appearance and was not his Nanli.

Moreover, she was despicable, disturbing his beautiful dream.

"How dare a mere evil spirit impersonate Nanli ?"

Ye Siheng reached out, his dragon claw technique powerful, instantly injuring her shoulder.

Nanli almost forgot that she was currently in Ye Siheng’s dream, just a little maid.

And the pain in her shoulder spread, indicating that she could feel pain and even death here.

She tugged at the corner of her mouth, realizing how powerful the White-Browed Daoist’s curse was.

Stepping back a few steps, Nanli stared at Ye Siheng and said, "Then please, my lord, take a look."

Enduring the pain, she formed hand seals with both hands, using the ghost-suppressing Hand Seal she had demonstrated in front of him before.

Although the movements were complex, with Ye Siheng’s intelligence, he would surely remember them.

Ye Siheng’s eyes immediately became somewhat unfocused.

Taking advantage of this, Nanli formed another hand seal and touched Ye Siheng’s forehead.

Indeed, Ye Siheng discovered that she was Nanli, coupled with her Pure Heart Technique, she effortlessly awakened.

"A’li?"

Ye Siheng recalled his actions earlier and felt remorseful,

"Did it hurt?"

"No matter,"

Nanli gently shook her head.

Ye Siheng’s memories were in disarray, he only remembered being stabbed and then falling into darkness.

He glanced at his arm and saw that the wound had healed, without any discomfort.

He asked, "Could it be that I have fallen into some sort of illusion? Am I now awake?"

"Not yet awake, Your Highness. I used talismans to enter your sealed realm and help you break free from this confinement," Nanli explained.

Ye Siheng’s face immediately darkened as he stared at Nanli, "You truly are reckless."

He had vaguely sensed that something was amiss, but he never expected Nanli to choose such a danger way.

"Even if it is recklessness, I have entered now. I must break this curse so that we can awaken together,"

Nanli said, "Otherwise, the two of us will be trapped here for eternity."

Ye Siheng’s expression grew even more somber.

Unable to control himself, he pulled her into his embrace, holding her tightly as if he wished to merge her into his own body.

"A’li, you needn’t to do this for me." Nanli’s heart raced.

For some reason, she could only feel this way towards Ye Siheng.

It was as if, regardless of the next lifetime or the one after, she would make the same choice.

But she didn’t say much to Ye Siheng, as time was running out.

She asked him to let go and began to investigate the various focal points of the sealing curse.

Nanli quickly discovered some clues.

Meanwhile, in the Taixu Palace of the Qi Kingdom.

The White-Browed Priest suddenly opened his eyes and walked to a formation, furrowing his brows slightly, "So you truly went in and found the key to breaking the curse."

He dropped a few talismans, immediately altering the formation.

As long as Nanli made one final mistake, the sealed location would ignite into a raging fire, reducing them to ashes.

Prince Qi stood nearby, his handsome face adorned with a smile, "I never expected her to cultivate and still be such an affectionate person, willing to sacrifice herself for Ye Siheng."

"They..." White-Browed Priest shook his head lightly, not continuing his words.

They were all waiting for news of Nanli’s and Ye Siheng’s demise, but they never expected a change to occur in another part of the formation at the last moment!

White-Browed Priest widened his eyes, but before he could react, he was struck by a backlash, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

"National Teacher!" Prince Qi exclaimed in surprise, unaware of what had just transpired.
