Chapter 72: Chapter 72 : The Three Realm Spear (4)

Xie Jianyu’s lips were so soft and sweet, reminiscent of the sweetest peaches that grew in the Golden Dragon Palace’s renowned orchard.

When the omega raised his hands and caressed the sides of Zhang Fengxi’s neck during the kiss, Zhang Fengxi was practically a lost cause.

Enraptured by Xie Jianyu’s beauty and gentle mannerisms, Zhang Fengxi helplessly drowned in a pool of eternal bliss. A pool from which he was unable and refused to get out from.

The two men rolled on the small bed, showering each other with love and affection while minding the safety of the baby in Xie Jianyu’s stomach. When Zhang Fengxi looked into Xie Jianyu’s beautiful almond eyes, he could not help but choke out the words, "Jianyu, I love you."

The smile on Xie Jianyu’s face became wider and he replied, "I love you too, my Lord."

Zhang Fengxi did not know when, but he eventually fell asleep while inhaling Xie Jianyu’s sweet, calming scent.

He was startled awake in the middle of the night. His arms were empty.

Xie Jianyu was gone from bed.

The omega in question stood in the middle of the tent, some distance away from the small bed.

"Jianyu?"

Xie Jianyu slowly turned around when he heard Zhang Fengxi calling his name.

"My Lord..."

Zhang Fengxi’s heart almost stopped when he saw what Xie Jianyu was holding.

The Realm Splitting Spear.

Zhang Fengxi slowly moved to the edge of the bed.

"Jianyu, give me the spear."

Xie Jianyu shook his head. He stepped backward when Zhang Fengxi crawled on the bed in his direction.

"My love, please," Zhang Fengxi begged. "Please give me the spear."

Xie Jianyu ran his hands across the spear’s body. The blade was resting precariously near his neck. Zhang Fengxi did not even dare to breathe out loud.

"My Lord, why?" Xie Jianyu asked in a low voice.

"Why... why what?"

"Why did you kill me?"

"..."

Zhang Fengxi’s mouth dropped open.

Tears fell across Xie Jianyu’s fair cheeks.

"I just gave birth to our child. Why did you kill me?"

Had Zhang Fengxi been struck by thunder that very moment, he might feel a lot better.

"Jianyu, I..."

I, what?

Zhang Fengxi did not know what to say. Should he tell Xie Jianyu that he killed him to avenge Liu Wenyuan? Although Xie Jianyu could not help it? Although it was not, and never Xie Jianyu’s fault???

"You were so cruel," Xie Jianyu sobbed.

"You killed me and cut me into a thousand pieces..."

"No, Jianyu! It was not me!"

At least not the second part.

But he also did not prevent it. He let it all happen.

The previous life’s Xie Jianyu died in such a miserable manner.

Zhang Fengxi wanted to get off the bed, run over to Xie Jianyu, knock the spear off his hands, and pull the omega into his arms.

Unfortunately, he could not move.

To be more precise, he was held back by invisible chains that were wrapped around his arms, legs, and torso.

Zhang Fengxi struggled to free himself. Meanwhile, Xie Jianyu kept talking.

"You did not even save our child."

"I tried!" Zhang Fengxi roared. "Jianyu, I tried! I searched the entire world for a cure!"

"You didn’t want him."

More tears fell from Xie Jianyu’s eyes. He closed his eyes and sighed.

"Why? I thought that you loved me. You said that you loved me."

Zhang Fengxi’s own tears stung his eyes.

"Jianyu, please. Put down the spear, let’s talk, okay?"

Xie Jianyu hugged the spear to his fragile form.

"Last time, do you remember? You used this spear to kill me."

"..."

He did.

He stabbed Xie Jianyu using the Three Realm Spear and killed him.

"I..."

Zhang Fengxi curled up his fingers into fists.

"I am sorry. Jianyu, please forgive me."

A strange light was reflected in Xie Jianyu’s eyes.

"What if I want more than just an apology?" he asked. The gentle and fragile appearance was gone, replaced by a bloodthirsty expression that Zhang Fengxi had never before seen on Xie Jianyu’s face.

Zhang Fengxi swallowed hard.

Xie Jianyu carefully approached the bed and leaned closer to Zhang Fengxi. His face was so close that Zhang Fengxi could see his reflection in Xie Jianyu’s vengeful eyes.

"What if I want you to pay with your life?"

Zhang Fengxi closed his eyes and said with a trembling voice, "If my death can comfort you, then I willingly die in your hands."

"Then die."

Xie Jianyu raised the spear above his head and stabbed in Zhang Fengxi’s direction.

Zhang Fengxi’s eyes were closed as he awaited the cold embrace of death. It never came. Instead, he heard an eardrum-piercing scream, followed by the sound of a body hitting the ground.

Zhang Fengxi opened his eyes abruptly.

Lying on the ground just beneath the bed was Xie Jianyu. There were numerous cuts on his body, some shallow and some deep. He groaned from pain as he clutched his pregnant belly.

"Hurts," he sobbed.

Next to him was the Realm Splitting Spear, the weapon that refused to attack its master and chose to attack the person who wanted to hurt its master instead.

Blood drained from Zhang Fengxi’s face as he gazed at the pool of blood that slowly built under Xie Jianyu’s body.

"My Lord..." Xie Jianyu sobbed. "My child... our child... please save our child."

Zhang Fengxi cried out in extreme sorrow. He pulled away from the invisible chains that held him back. The pain was non-existent because his entire body had gone numb.

Zhang Fengxi knelt next to Xie Jianyu and cradled his blood-soaked body in his arms.

"No," he begged. "Jianyu, no. No, you must not die. No..."

More tears fell from Xie Jianyu’s beautiful eyes. The vengeful gleam was gone. In his dying moments, he reverted to the Xie Jianyu who loved Zhang Fengxi.

"My... Lord..."

Xie Jianyu raised a trembling hand and smeared blood across Zhang Fengxi’s cheek.

"I... love... you..."

Zhang Fengxi let out a heartwrenching scream when the bloody hand fell from his face and Xie Jianyu closed his eyes forever.
