After being reborn, I hugged the villainous boss tightly.

On the day of the Lantern Festival.

Fu Chenchu ​​led Wu Xuan'er on a boat trip on the lake, followed closely by several attendants.

Many colorful lanterns floated on the lake, which was very beautiful. There were also passersby carrying lanterns on the shore, making the scene very lively.

"this is delicious!"

Wu Xuan'er ate all the way, her cheeks bulging out.

Fu Chenchu ​​chuckled: "Slow down, no one's going to take it from you!"

"It's really delicious!"

Wu Xuan'er held the food in her hand to Fu Chenchu's mouth: "You eat it!"

Fu Chenchu ​​paused for a moment, but still lowered his head to eat what she was fed.

Seeing the two acting so intimately, Xie Yao bit her lip in anger.

Qingqian frowned as she watched Fu Chenchu ​​feign affection, feeling so disgusted that she wanted to run over and tear the mask off his face.

I have something for you!

As Wu Xuan'er spoke, she raised her eyes and gestured to Qing Qian behind her.

"..."

Qingqian glared resentfully at Fu Chenchu ​​and handed him the lantern.

Wu Xuan'er blushed slightly: "I spent a long time making this lantern, and I'm giving it to you."

Fu Chenchu ​​took it, a gentle smile on his handsome face.

"Thank you, Xuan'er, I like it very much!"

Then fireworks started going off in the sky again, and Wu Xuan'er happily snuggled in her lover's arms to watch them.

The dazzling fireworks shone into her eyes, making her beautiful peach blossom eyes even more stunning.

Xie Yao curled her lips in a mocking smile: "Since you're about to die, I'll let you be happy for a little while longer!"

Just as everyone was enjoying the fireworks in the sky, dozens of men in black suddenly emerged from the lake.

Wu Xuan'er instinctively shielded Fu Chenchu ​​behind her.

As soon as the man in black came aboard, he started slashing at the people on the boat.

Seeing this, Qingqian quickly hid, knowing that she didn't know martial arts and couldn't be a burden to Xuan'er.

These men in black were clearly after Fu Chenchu, and they were all slashing at him with their knives.

The guards behind him quickly stepped forward to protect their master and began fighting with the man in black.

Wu Xuan'er held Fu Chenchu ​​tightly, not letting him leave her side.

The assassins today were exceptionally skilled, and Wu Xuan'er was having a very difficult time fighting them. Luckily, she brought her attendants with her; otherwise, she certainly wouldn't have been able to protect Fu Chenchu ​​by herself.

Suddenly, a very powerful man in black rushed out, dodging everyone and attacking Fu Chenchu ​​behind her with every move. Wu Xuan'er was unarmed and was quickly slashed on the arm.

Seeing that she was injured and unable to protect Fu Chenchu, the man in black jumped up and stabbed at him fiercely.

Wu Xuan'er reacted quickly, pulling him behind her to shield him.

"No, Xuan'er!"

Upon seeing this, Qingqian rushed over without hesitation.

In an instant, Wu Xuan'er only saw Qing Qian being stabbed through the chest by the man in black. Blood flowed down the wound, dripping onto the deck and staining her vision red.

She stared blankly, her eyes wide, her voice stuck in her throat, unable to utter a sound.

After a long while, she regained her voice and screamed at the top of her lungs, about to rush over.

"Don't go over there, it's dangerous!" Fu Chenchu ​​grabbed her.

"No, Qianqian is still there!" Wu Xuan'er struggled.

Fu Chenchu ​​held her tightly, preventing her from going over.

Qingqian gripped the blade, preventing the man in black from passing by.

Unexpectedly, the man in black pulled out a knife and kicked her away.

"Guards! Protect the Prince!"

When the man in black who was about to step forward saw soldiers running towards him from the shore, he quickly jumped off the boat.

"Qianqian!"

Wu Xuan'er's legs gave way and she fell onto the deck. Without thinking, she crawled toward Qing Qian, who was lying in the distance, and picked her up.

"cough"

Qianqian coughed lightly, and blood gushed from her chest, seemingly endless.

"No, Qianqian, if you don't hold on, I can save you!"

Qianqian knew what she meant, and shook her head with difficulty. She didn't want her to waste her life trying to save her.

Wu Xuan'er cried her heart out: "Hold on, I will definitely save you, I beg you, you can't leave me!"

Looking at Fu Chenchu ​​behind her, Qing Qian wanted to speak, but when she opened her mouth, it was filled with blood, and she couldn't say a word.

When Fu Chenchu ​​saw her looking at him with resentment, he raised an eyebrow, and the panic on his face disappeared.

Qingqian withdrew her gaze and spoke with difficulty, "...Fu...Chenchu"

Wu Xuan'er's vision was blurred with tears: "Qianqian, what are you saying? What do you want to say?"

She leaned down and put her ear close to her mouth.

"You must...be well, you absolutely must..."

After Qingqian finished speaking with difficulty, she lowered her head and slowly closed her eyes.

"...Qianqian, wake up! Don't leave me!" Wu Xuan'er shook her.

"Xuan'er, Qingqian is dead!"

Fu Chenchu ​​walked over and tried to help her up.

"Don't touch me! Qianqian won't die! I can save her!"

At this point, Fu Chenchu's eyes lit up; he had been waiting for this moment.

After taking Qingqian back, she busily took out a box containing a wriggling worm.

This was given to her by her father when she married into the family. He said that if she added her heart's blood, it could save anyone. He also told her that she must never let anyone else know about it, and that she should not take it out casually.

Wu Xuan'er was preoccupied with Qing Qian and didn't notice the greedy eyes behind her.

Qingqian sat on the bed with her hands tied by red ropes, her head drooping limply, her eyes tightly closed. Anyone with eyes could see that she was dead.

Wu Xuan'er took out the Ten Thousand Gu Insects and, without hesitation, plunged the knife into her own chest. Blood dripped down the blade and into the box.

The myriad worms seemed to have spotted something delicious and began sucking her blood.

Wu Xuan'er's face turned deathly pale, but she still plunged the blade deeper, causing even more blood to flow.

After absorbing most of the Gu worms' energy, it gradually shrank its body without moving, and then visibly shrank into a round shape.

Wu Xuan'er knew she had succeeded. She picked it up and staggered over to feed Qing Qian.

Unexpectedly, a masked man rushed in and snatched the item from her hand.

She turned around to grab it, but lost her footing and fell to the ground.

The man looked down at the disheveled woman at his feet, smiled, and narrowed his deep eyes.

But he didn't intend to torment her, and turned to leave.

Wu Xuan'er crawled over and grabbed the man's sleeve, her voice broken: "No...that's the medicine to save...Qianqian, you can't take it!"

The man didn't say anything, and ruthlessly brushed her hand away.

"No, I beg you!"

Wu Xuan'er tried to get up, but her eyelids were too heavy for her to lift. As soon as she got up, she fell hard and fainted.

The man watched coldly as she fainted, then raised his hand and removed the mask from his face.

Fu Chenchu ​​looked at Qing Qian, who was already dead on the bed, and smiled wickedly.
