The setting sun is as red as blood, and the afterglow of the sunset is like a piece of gorgeous silk, gently spreading across the horizon, rendering the entire sky a dazzling golden color.

At this time, the jewelry store that was originally bustling had become deserted, and the people seemed to have been blown away by an invisible hurricane and disappeared without a trace.

Shen Li was anxious to rescue Yun Chenyu who was trapped inside.

When her fingertips, as cold as snow, just touched the corner of Yun Chenyu's clothes, a warm and sticky liquid dripped onto the back of her white hand without warning.

Shen Li's heart tightened and he subconsciously raised his head.

Through the collapsed roof, a brilliant and gorgeous golden light poured in, like the descent of holy light, but it could not cover up the heartbreaking scene before its eyes.

Yun Chenyu's figure looked increasingly pale and weak.

Bright red blood was continuously gushing out from his back, flowing down his body like a flood that had broken through a dam, gradually dyeing his clothes red, and falling from his lapels drop by drop, blooming into sad and beautiful blood flowers on the ground.

"Yunchenyu! Nothing can happen to you!"

Shen Li screamed at the top of her lungs, and tears blurred her eyes at some point.

"My one-year assessment of you hasn't even ended yet. How could you just leave me like this? Nothing must happen to you!"

Yun Chenyu's handsome face was now stained with blood, but he still endured the severe pain, slightly curling up the corners of his lips to reveal a smile.

"I don't know if I can escape this disaster this time, but at this moment, the only thing I want is an answer from you.

At this point, are you satisfied with this king?"

His voice was low and hoarse, as if every word he said required a huge effort.

Shen Li shook his head, and more and more tears welled up in his eyes, dripping onto his clothes like beads with broken strings.

"Satisfied, so far, I am very satisfied with you!"

Yun Chenyu grinned slightly, the smile seemed a little pale and weak, but it still revealed a hint of relief that was hard to conceal.

"You've been unwilling to accept my feelings before, and now that I'm about to die, you say these words to comfort me?"

"Yun Chenyu, you've saved me several times, so no matter what, you must stay strong and live on! Whether it's the military camp or the imperial court, they can't do without you!"

Shen Li bit her lips tightly, trying hard not to cry out loud.

At this moment, her heart felt as if it were being pricked by thousands of tiny needles at the same time, the pain was unbearable.

Whenever she thought that the man in front of her might leave her forever, her heart ached as if it was about to break.

"How are you? Are you hurt?"

Although he was in an extremely weak state, Yun Chenyu still asked about Shen Li's condition with concern.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

"I'll immediately find a way to remove these pillars that are pressing on you."

As she spoke, she began to push the extremely heavy pillar with all her strength.

"Don't waste your energy... This pillar is too heavy, and there's a lot of miscellaneous wood piled on top. You can't move it by yourself."

At this moment, his breath was getting weaker and weaker, and even his voice could not detect any emotion.

"No! I won't give up! Even if there's only a glimmer of hope, I'm going to get you out of here alive!"

"My only wish is that you can live in peace. Promise me, okay?"

"No! I want you to live with me!"

Shen Li held Yun Chenyu's hand tightly and burst into tears.

“Didn’t you blow the bone whistle just now? Jamel Xiao will definitely come to rescue you!”

As he spoke, Shen Li stretched out his hands without hesitation and began to pull hard at the heavy wooden pillar on Yun Chenyu's shoulders and other wood around him.

She struggled to pull it out while muttering to herself:

"We are of the same roots, why are we so eager to fight each other?

Why? Why would the Crown Prince be so cruel to you, even to the point of wanting to kill you? You've never had any desire to fight for the throne, your only thought being to defend your country and conquer the battlefield.

You are the patron saint of our Yunyan, but why did he want to put you to death?"

Hearing this, Yun Chenyu raised his head slightly, a faint smile appearing on his face, but this smile revealed a hint of bitterness and helplessness.

He said softly: "How do you know that I have no intention of competing for the throne?

Yun Tingye was addicted to alcohol and sex all day long, stupid and incompetent, and his governance of the country was a mess.

Moreover, he is insidious and cunning, and his methods are extremely cruel. He may even have bad intentions towards you and have inappropriate thoughts about you.

Faced with such a shameless man, do I really have to continue to tolerate him and be inferior to him forever?

If this is true, how can I protect my beloved?"

Speaking of this, Yun Chenyu couldn't help but think of the past, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.

He took a deep breath and said with trembling lips, "My mother died unjustly because I was unable to protect her at the time.

Whenever I think of this, my heart aches.

Now, I must not repeat the same mistake!

If I want to completely change all this, if I want to protect the person I cherish most in my heart, I can only do so by mastering the supreme power.

What's the use of being a mere prince and being called the God of War?

Without the power to overturn the world, let alone protect you, I wouldn't even be able to control my own life!"

The atmosphere seemed to freeze into ice in an instant, so heavy that it was hard to breathe.

The man whose back was bent by the heavy object had beads of sweat rolling down his forehead like rain, and the words that came out of his mouth, with a kind of indomitable and arrogant attitude, were deeply imprinted in Shen Li's heart.

She stared blankly at everything in front of her, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.

After a long while, she came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream and shouted hurriedly:

"Yun Chenyu, please stop talking and save your energy. We need to hold on and wait for the rescuers to arrive."

Before he finished speaking, there was another terrifying sound of collapse.

Yun Chenyu was completely pressed to the ground.

Shen Li was terrified, his heart seemed to skip a beat, and a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to his forehead.

When she finally came to her senses, she found that Yun Chenyu had his eyes closed and lost consciousness.

In the faint moonlight, Shen Li's gaze fell on his lips. His originally rosy lips now appeared a strange purple color, almost pale.

"Yunchen Territory? Yunchen Territory!"

Shen Li's voice began to tremble. She stretched out her right index finger tremblingly and carefully touched it under his nose.

However, where the fingertips touched, there was dead silence, without a trace of breath.

Fear surged into Shen Li's heart like a tide, and tears burst out again.

She shook his arm: "Yun Chenyu! You damned big pig, wake up quickly! You can't fall asleep like this!"
