If in the future, he had to make a choice between Lan’er’s life and loving her, he would choose to let her live. This way, he would hold true to it.

He hoped that he would never have to face such a choice.

Hearing Si Mobai’s words, Feng Tianlan’s body stiffened. “Will your head continue to ache if you do not become Wu Ya back?”

“I don’t know. Maybe it is the case. After all, Wu Ya loves Yunyi deeply.” Si Mobai looked down at her. “What do you hope for?”

“Mobai,” Feng Tianlan exerted some strength and struggled out of his embrace. She looked up at him seriously and said, “If it will always hurt, then I hope you can become Wu Ya again.”

“I don’t want to be Wu Ya. I won’t be able to love you anymore.” Si Mobai’s heart was warmed by her words. Switching positions, they would have done the same for each other.

Although she said so, he still hid it from her because he did not want her to be sad.

Feng Tianlan looked at the small scar between his brows and reached out to gently stroke it. “But I can’t bear to see you hurting forever. Furthermore, it’s Wu Ya who does not love me, it’s not you who do not love me anymore.”

Si Mobai’s pain tolerance had always been good, but today, he had been in so much pain that his face had turned pale several times and was even breaking out in cold sweat. One could imagine how painful it was.

Although she wanted to continue loving him, she didn’t want him to be in pain at all.

Si Mobai reached out and pulled her back into his embrace. He rested his chin on her head and said, “Silly wife, you must believe in my unwavering love for you, till death do us part.”

What he said just now was a sort of test for Lan’er. Now that he had his answer, he dared not let her know the truth about his pain because Bi Ling would threaten her. By then, even if he was willing to bear the pain, Lan’er would not allow it.

Lan’er would then be easily threatened by Bi Ling. He would not allow this to happen.

Feng Tianlan could feel his breathing getting faster and faster. His body was even shivering slightly. “Husband?”

“I have a headache, it must be the residual memories of Wu Ya protesting, let me hold you.” Si Mobai hugged her tightly, breathing hard, the pain was hurtling throughout his body and he could feel the poison in his heart lurching over and over, tormenting him.

Feng Tianlan dared not move, she was extremely worried, she did not even dare to speak to him, afraid of expending his energy, she could not do anything about the pain and she felt so helpless.

“Talk to me.” Si Mobai hugged her and breathed heavily. He only wanted some conversation to divert his attention from the pain.

“I want to hear the story of Wu Ya and Yunyi.” She wanted to know why Wu Ya liked Yunyi so much that even a remnant memory could have such a deep obsession, causing Mo Bai to feel immense pain.

“Okay.” Si Mobai lowered his head and gently kissed her hair, “A thousand years ago, three islands were floating on the Wushang Continent. They were called demigods by people in the lower realm. There were Wuya Holy Shrine, Jintian Sanctuary, and Ethereal Tower, also known as Wu Ya, Su Jingfeng, and Yunyi respectively.

“One day, the Ethereal Tower was shrouded in infinite purple rays and the legendary artifact, Biling Pearl, appeared. It was said that the Biling Pearl could bring the dead back to life and had the immortal power to let people live forever in eternal youth. It also had endless spiritual power. It could help people ascend to immortality and dominate the world. Therefore, Wu Ya and Su Jingfeng traveled from afar and arrived at Ethereal Tower in search of the Biling Pearl..”
