More and more blood splashed, and the arrows shot more violently.
Xu An cast a spell and suspended himself in the air, isolating himself in another time and space.
I only saw a few people trying to drag the man away, but as soon as they stepped out of the crowd, five or six ghosts in black armor flashed by like shadows and rushed towards them at high speed.
"Your Highness! Go! Only if you survive, someone will avenge us!"
The man at the back turned around and cast a spell, trying to resist the pursuing ghost army, but they suffered heavy casualties and everyone was seriously injured, and there was no way to delay for too long.
"Chang Ye! Chang Yan! You are my uncle's only bloodline! Come with me! Come back! I command you, come back!"
"Your Highness, Your Highness, they were born to die for you. You are the heir to the throne, nothing can happen to you! They are just your stepping stones! Dying for you is also a merit!"
"They are not stepping stones! They are my family! They are the last people in this world who care about me! They can't die! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
The hysterical cry was filled with helplessness. Seeing Asu Yuyi rushing towards them recklessly, Xu An frowned and couldn't help but worry.
The familiar flash of lightning lit up, striking a person to ashes.
"Your Highness, you are the only one who is qualified to sit on the throne of the Western Region. One day, avenge us openly and honestly!"
"Yu Changye, I don't want the throne at all! If you all die for your country, what's the point of me sitting on the throne!"
Asu Yuyi spun around and swung out a lightning-colored spiritual power, which pierced through several people who rushed over, severely injuring them and forcing them back.
His usually calm face now showed sadness and fear.
He was also seriously injured, and even several pieces of his hard armor were broken. The dark red blood dyed his waist black. With messy hair and a slight stubble, he didn't look like a prince at all.
Xu An naturally couldn't stand idly by in this bloody battle, she had to get rid of his nightmare.
The sharp spear flew towards Asu Yuyi at a high speed, and the man beside him jumped forward, trying to block the attack with his body.
"Shun An."
At the critical moment, the dazzling sword light steadily protected the man.
"With my divine seal, Jingkong——"
A resilient female voice sounded out of nowhere. Asu Yuyi looked back and saw that the spear in front of Yu Changye was blocked by a long sword.
Suddenly, green light patterns quickly spread to the surroundings, causing the sand in the air to stop in mid-air.
The magic circle that came from the sky controlled everyone on the ground and bits of spiritual power floated down from the sky, putting all living things in a state of stagnation.
Such a large magic array stunned Asu Yuyi. He looked up in surprise, his eyes fixed on the slowly falling figure.
The woman in front of me had flying black hair and her eyes were brighter.
He came back to his senses, turned around to check the motionless man behind him, and after making sure that he was okay, he turned back to look at Xu An. However, after just a glance at her, he immediately ran towards the battlefield covered with blood and sand.
Xu An knew that he wanted to find his uncle, "A Su Yuyi, don't go, your uncle is fine."
She reached out and grabbed his bloody arm, "Listen to me, I'm here to take you out of the nightmare. Everything you're experiencing now is an endless nightmare. If this continues, you will die..."
Xu An paused. She didn't understand him and had never tried to understand him. She didn't seem to have any stories worth remembering for him.
"nightmare…"
"Everything here is an illusion, a nightmare conjured by the Chaos Demon. Now, you need to wake up."
Facing her serious look, Asu Yuyi pursed his lips and smiled tremblingly, "So... they... can't survive anymore, right?"
The man's bitter smile was particularly stiff, with sadness between his brows. Xu An was stunned and his eyes were slightly evasive.
How should she tell him?
Tell him the cruel truth.
Is he so lucid even in his dreams?
My heartbeat hit the ground, but I was suddenly pulled over by the man, "Be careful."
The ferocious monster roared in pain and pounced towards Xu An, but was knocked down by lightning.
She met his gaze, only to see his eyes trembling, his intense gaze as if he knew her.
Wait...he...
"A Su... Yu Yi?" Xu An suddenly held the man's face, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, "You remember it, right? You remember me, remember how we met."
Their eyes met, the atmosphere was quiet for a moment, and wet tears slid down between her fingers.
The steady face in front of him showed a look of grievance and regret, which made Xu An hold his breath, "A Su Yuyi..."
"Why, why can't I save them even in my dreams? Why do I experience this nightmare over and over again but can only watch them die miserably..."
"I knew it was a dream a long time ago, but I didn't want to wake up. Only in the nightmare could I see them again, so I stayed. I tried to change everything, but even in the dream, I couldn't save them..."
Hearing his answer, Xu An tightened her chest. She felt inexplicably sad and distressed.
She choked on the words in her throat, not knowing how to give advice.
Being able to soberly accept the pain in the nightmare, how desperate he must have been at that time...
His consciousness was not corrupted by the monster, and he endured everything alive, experiencing it over and over again without hesitation. Xu An could not imagine how suffocating Asu Yuyi's past was.
"Xu An, please go out. This time, I want to sleep with them forever. I don't want to go back to the cold palace. I don't want to step on their corpses to set foot on that place again."
The man closed his eyes, held back his tears, and smiled calmly. He had wanted to go and accompany them for a long time. Now that all the revenge had been taken, it was time for him to go and meet his mother and uncles.
The sudden farewell made Xu An panic. For a moment, she couldn't think of any reason to advise him.
He was so lucid, even in his nightmares. From a psychological point of view, Asu Yuyi had really given up on living.
"No, Asu Yuyi, no, I want you to wake up." Xu An raised his hands and hugged the man tightly, his voice choking with sobs, "They all hope that you will inherit the throne, do you really want to disappoint them?"
"A Su Yuyi, aren't you waiting for my answer? I am willing to marry you and be with you. Wake up, please?"
The panicked and choking voice trembled, and Xu An could not care too much, even if he lied to him for a lifetime, until he grew old.
His slender five fingers slowly rested on the woman's back, and she could hear heavy breathing beside her ear. "Princess, I am no longer a little kid. I can tell whether I like you or not. Your Highness does not need to choose to deceive me out of pity."
He curled his hands, paused for a moment, and then withdrew the five fingers that were pressed against Xu An's back.
"It's been ten years. From the time I lost my first trusted person while leading troops to war to now, it's been a full ten years. In these ten years, my grandfather, mother, aunt, sister, brother, uncle... all my trusted people have been buried on the battlefield one after another. I am the only one left in the entire Yu clan."
"I am the only one who lives alone. For the sake of my father's so-called kingdom, and for me to ascend the throne, they used their lives to build a step for me. I have no choice but to consolidate my position, but I have long wanted to stop living alone."
"Xu An, do you know that my father's will was already drawn up? He, he chose Asu Peiye as his successor... the madman he tortured for nine years! What about me? What is my mother to me? Our entire Yu clan is loyal and brave, fighting for him on the battlefield, bleeding for him, and he is not even willing to make my mother the queen!"
"He married my mother just to use our Yu clan as a stepping stone, and he made me fight just to consolidate everything for Asu Pei Ye. But what did this lunatic Asu Pei Ye do wrong... Who should I hate? Hahaha... Who should I hate?"
