In essence, he was not a human being; his body wasn’t of ordinary flesh and blood. Self-immolation with Yin Thunder nearly extinguished his vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghouls naturally couldn’t sense the breath of living things on him; they trampled over him, allowing Ying Xiu to survive unnoticed beneath the mud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Baili Yu, who had departed, didn’t realize that the instigator of the ghoul disaster was still alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Ying Xiu survived the ghoul army’s feast, his vitality was nearly severed, lingering on the brink of death in Chaotic Netherworld Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a snared insect, without the strength to struggle for survival, he could only watch helplessly as his scorched skin ulcerated, peeled, and decayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that cold mud, Ying Xiu’s mind was clear, but his body was completely immobile; there was no greater torment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until later, unable to withstand the cruel wait for death in solitude, Ying Xiu chose to drown in the wet mud, and Du Yicui appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mere woman at the Kaiyuan realm, appearing in Chaotic Netherworld Valley, safely took such a dying person like him out of the valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She placed him in a remote area near Central Netherworld, using precious medicinal herbs of immeasurable value to sustain his life day and night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wandao Immortal Alliance is renowned globally for its ’generosity.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though every day, bowl after bowl of scalding, unknown bitter medicine was poured into his stomach with little observable effect, Ying Xiu had become someone devoid of heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the empty chest, without a heartbeat, he continued to linger like a living person for three years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Yicui said the medicine was keeping him alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was indeed true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Xiu thought that, on that day, when he buried his head deep in wet mud, choosing a disgraceful death with gallant sacrifice, he was no longer afraid of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But until now, staring at the bowl of gradually cooling medicine, Ying Xiu realized he had overestimated himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He feared death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was terribly afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he didn’t want to see any light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he didn’t have the courage to leave this room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Xiu tried his best to escape this world in his own way, yet he...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Couldn’t bring himself to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Couldn’t leave this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Du Yicui’s cold gaze, Ying Xiu’s emotions, dead like ashes, suddenly surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but raise his head to observe her, catching the deep impatience and disgust in her eyes she couldn’t be bothered to hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if she truly considered that if Ying Xiu gave up on drinking the medicine and died here, it would be a relief to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Xiu suddenly realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only lifeline for three years had reached the point of shaky instability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Xiu felt ashamed of the fear and anxiety he nurtured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt disgusted at having to rely on such a woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly realizing it, the medicine he had been too lazy to glance at in three years was essentially crucial; he could no longer maintain his usual demeanor of indifference, hoping to die sooner and transcend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he realized, even a woman like Du Yicui wasn’t afraid of him seeking death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this secluded little room, Ying Xiu was oblivious to worldly affairs, unaware of what had transpired in the outside world over three years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he could see that a woman like Du Yicui, who was profit-driven, cared for him in such a place for three years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unwavering, she must have some need for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today, her attitude subtly changed, vastly different from the usual; she seemed to encourage him to give up on life actively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Xiu suddenly realized his life seemed unimportant to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he continued behaving arrogantly, perhaps this woman would truly leave him unheeded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Xiu desperately wanted to escape this world, but that didn’t mean he wanted to remain alone to decay forever in this cramped darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Set aside the last bit of his pathetic self-esteem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Driven by fear and anxiety, Ying Xiu silently lifted the bowl of medicine and drank it, gulp by gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no lips, the liquid dripped down his chin, soaking the gauze on his face, appearing increasingly wretched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Yicui’s raised eyebrow slowly relaxed, seeing the Crown Prince inferior to a beggar finally obey; she wasn’t sure if she was disappointed or relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took the empty bowl, glanced at the filthy mess on the bed with an unusually serious tone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since Your Highness wants to live, you might as well live with dignity;
