“Lord, let’s go.”
Yan Yi had been standing at the border for three days. With the physical endurance of an ability user, standing for several days didn’t have much of an impact.
But his disheveled appearance was something his confidants had never seen before.
Yan Yi came back to his senses, glanced nostalgically at the castle clusters, and with a hoarse voice said, “Let’s go.”
He had thought about dying to put it all to an end. Living another day meant another day of suffering. But behind him was the entire Sunshine Empire. If he died, the Sunshine Empire would fall into chaos, and the hard-won peace would instantly collapse.
Before leaving, Qin Jiaren had told him something, “The Queen wants you to live, to live in pain, to live a lifetime of pain.”
He asked, “Did she really say that?”
“Of course, if Her Majesty hadn’t said that, why would she let me convey this message to you?” Qin Jiaren’s cold face actually showed a bit of a smile, “You don’t understand Her Majesty at all. She holds grudges very deeply.”
Yan Yi was stunned for a moment. Reflecting on the past, he realized that Tang Guo indeed held grudges. Whoever had wronged her, she had retaliated against them all.
Living was indeed the greatest revenge against him.
She didn’t directly retaliate against him; instead, she wanted him to live, to endure the pain of losing a loved one day after day.
“Let’s go.”
He didn’t know how long the life of an ability user was. But he only knew that in the days to come, living one day was one day of pain. Once he calmed down, his heart felt like it was being torn apart piece by piece.
Later, a particularly strange rumor circulated in the Sunshine Empire. The monarch of the Sunshine Empire had a peculiar habit—he liked to eat fever-reducing medicine.
Not just eating occasionally, but eating every day, every meal. Skipping a meal is as painful as an ordinary person not eating at all.
Wherever he went, he would carry a bottle of fever-reducing medicine. At mealtime, he would take the medicine first, then eat.
Many people who had witnessed this scene thought Yan Yi was sick.
Who would take medicine for no reason, especially fever-reducing medicine? Ability users didn’t get fevers or colds. At most they would get injured in battle.
They had never seen anyone take medicine with a smile and a look of satisfaction on their face, as if they were savoring the most delicious food in the world.
The news that Lord Yan of the Sunshine Empire, was sick spread throughout the planet. Of course, aside from this, he still governs the Sunshine Empire diligently and without the slightest bit of carelessness.
Those who knew him well knew he was particularly busy and never had any free time. He couldn’t sleep well at night and relied on a large amount of medicine to control his sleep every day.
If it were an ordinary ability user, they might have had a mental breakdown long ago.
But not Yan Yi. He had been examined by pharmacists, and the result was that his body was extremely healthy, capable of living for several hundred years without any issues.
Upon learning of this outcome, Yan Yi was not happy. He couldn’t eat or sleep well every day, and whenever he closed his eyes, he would think of the past, feeling as if his heart was being cut by a knife. Yet, his body remained in good health. It seemed that this was heaven’s punishment for him, to make him live in pain.
“The male protagonist’s halo is indeed strong. To be so healthy.” Tang Guo was convinced, “Well, the longer he lives, the more pain he suffers.”
[Host, Yan Nian is coming to the Sunset Empire.]
The system kept a close watch on the people Tang Guo was interested in, monitoring them at all times.
“Oh… almost forgot about her. The heroine’s halo is quite strong too. Even after all this, she can still live well.”
[Host, she’s not living well at all. You might have misunderstood something. Yan Nian’s current life is worse than the original Yan Nian’s. It’s unknown what drug Yan Yi injected into her; she can’t even die if she wants to, and she’s especially attractive to men.]
