Chapter 609: This is His Fate; I Can’t Save Him

This was his wife; no matter what, he had to find a way to save her.

Fan Yunxi continued to shake her head.

Suddenly, Xie Beihan frowned slightly.

He turned his head slightly, seeing something that made him stop insisting: "You’re right; we should just wait here for sixth sister."

Fan Yunxi sighed in relief and nodded slightly, "lord, you don’t need to worry, I’m really feeling much better."

Xie Beihan smiled at her, showing his white teeth, still exuding the vitality of a young man.

Fan Yunxi felt at ease, leaning against his chest.

"Okay, Xi’er, listen to me," Xie Beihan said, his voice somewhat weak. "There’s a cellar in the study; I’ve hidden some silver there—only fifty thousand taels... and there’s a divorce letter. You once asked me... asked me for a divorce, to return to Ruyang. That fifty thousand taels... take it with you as my compensation..."

Hearing this, Fan Yunxi felt her heart twist in pain.

As expected, Xie Beihan wanted to send her away...

She pressed down her emotions but couldn’t suppress a hint of tears in her voice: "lord, is this how deep your feelings are for the Ninth Princess? Is there no place for me in your heart, not even in themansion?"

Xie Beihan’s thoughts stirred.

Hearing her sobs, how could he still not understand her feelings?

However...

He opened his mouth but said, "Yes, I have no feelings for you. You... you were tricked into marrying me; you can find someone you truly like in the future. Don’t waste your time..."

Fan Yunxi felt both angry and anxious.

He didn’t heed the Ninth Princess’s advice and insisted on coming to save her. Even if he didn’t have romantic feelings for her, he treated her as his wife.

"lord, I don’t care who you have in your heart. I just want to..."

I just want to stay by your side.

Fan Yunxi straightened up, planning to express her feelings to Xie Beihan.

But—

Xie Beihan had already lowered his head, and she noticed his exposed skin, like his neck and hands, had turned purple-black.

"lord?" Fan Yunxi called softly.

He did not respond.

His head remained lowered.

Fan Yunxi thought, could it be that he fell asleep?

She reached out to lift his head to wake him, but as her hand extended, several drops of black blood fell, landing on her hand.

She froze.

Her breath caught in her throat.

"lord..."

At her call, Xie Beihan’s body could no longer support itself and fell backward.

Xie Beihan no longer resembled his former handsome self.

His face was purple-blue, lips blackened, oozing black blood.

Most importantly, his eyes were hollow, devoid of life.

"lord!!!" Fan Yunxi gasped, rushing forward.

Why?

Why did he suddenly become like this?!

Hissing—

A terrifying sound echoed around.

Fan Yunxi’s body stiffened slightly as she glanced around, noticing many green glowing eyes.

Those things slowly crawled out.

Snakes!

These snakes weren’t large but moved swiftly, their scales green, and on their heads was a red-purple bulge filled with a potent liquid swirling inside.

The green snakes revealed long, sharp fangs, flicking their tongues.

At first, there was one.

But soon there were more, crawling densely around them.

Fan Yunxi then noticed two small purple-black puncture wounds on Xie Beihan’s wrist.

It was from the snakes.

He had been bitten by poisonous snakes long ago!

He knew he was about to die; the words he spoke earlier were all just arrangements for the future...

Fan Yunxi’s heart ached unbearably, her mouth opening yet unable to catch her breath.

She cried out in anguish, kneeling and crawling closer, desperately trying to wake Xie Beihan.

"Xie Beihan!" She touched his face, pounding on his chest.

"Wake up... wake up!"

"Don’t leave me all alone; don’t leave me..."

No matter how she called, Xie Beihan did not respond again.

His body grew increasingly stiff.

Xie Beihan was dead, and those little green snakes had no interest in him.

They slithered closer to Fan Yunxi but seemed to fear something, merely lingering by her side.

With tear-filled eyes, Fan Yunxi’s mind remained blank.

She swayed, wanting to find Nanli to save him.

Yes, the Ninth Princess surely had a way to revive him.

There had to be!

Taking a step forward, the little green snakes retreated.

Just then, golden light erupted.

Nanli returned.

Seeing the ground covered with little green snakes and Xie Beihan lying lifelessly, her nose tinged with sadness.

Her gaze shifted, and she saw Fan Yunxi had turned into a weeping mess, with the Divine Wood hanging at her waist...

In that instant, she understood everything.

Xie Beihan, that foolish man, had made his choice.

As expected, fate was difficult to alter, and destiny was hard to defy.

"the Ninth Princess..." Fan Yunxi managed a faint smile, revealing a hint of joy, "lord, he had an accident; please save him, save him! I can exchange my life for his."

The little green snakes, noticing a new presence, quickly swarmed towards Nanli, eager to take a bite.

Nanli summoned a Fire Talisman, surrounding the area, causing the little green snakes to retreat.

Yet, they still flicked their tongues, unwilling to leave, waiting for an opportunity.

Nanli walked closer, not needing to check; she already knew Xie Beihan had completely passed, for his soul stood beside Fan Yunxi.

Because Fan Yunxi hadn’t held the Divine Wood long enough, she couldn’t see it yet.

Nanli wanted to open Fan Yunxi’s yin-yang eyes, but Xie Beihan shook his head, saying, "sixth sister, don’t let her be sad."

Nanli paused, then said to Xie Beihan, "This is his fate; I can’t save him."

Fan Yunxi froze for a moment, "Fate? This isn’t his fate; he came to save me, that’s why he died here! This isn’t his fate!"

She clenched her fists and shouted to the heavens, "Great Lord! All you gods! If you demand a life, take mine! Why must you take my husband’s life? He shouldn’t have such a short life; he shouldn’t end like this!"

Nanli frowned, clearly noticing that Fan Yunxi was too distraught and her emotions were uncontrollable.

Before she could speak, the ghostly figure returned.

He thought Nanli was afraid and had fled, but he hadn’t anticipated that this couple had separated between life and death in the blink of an eye, and he burst into laughter:

"I knew this would be the outcome! These green snakes are nourished by yin energy and are highly venomous; once bitten, even immortals cannot save you!"

"Chu Nanli, didn’t you realize? Your talisman formation can withstand me, but it cannot defend against these green snakes!"

"Lady, don’t you know? You’ve caused your husband’s death. At this moment, you should follow him in death; how can you bear to let him go alone?"

The ghost’s words could confuse the heart.

Fan Yunxi’s gaze became slightly dazed.

But the Divine Wood at her waist trembled, as if a spring breeze had blown through, instantly waking her up.

The ghost was also surprised, staring at the Divine Wood, cursing, "How can it be Kunlun Divine Wood? No wonder those green snakes don’t dare come close."

After all, the green snakes were nourished by yin energy and naturally feared it.
