At the end of every wuxia tale, the villain is supposed to die miserably at the hands of the great hero.
Yin Liansha was no exception.
Abandoned by all, besieged on every side. On Thunderclap Cliff, a sword pierced his heart.
The great hero was a good man. Knowing that the villain had been alone since childhood, with no family or friends, he even came back especially to bury him.
As he hovered between life and death, the villain looked at the hero's face through the cold rain, his vision blurred.
Why are you crying?
As if you weren't the one who struck the blow.
Li Yingpu, forget it. Before he drew his last breath, the villain thought lightly. This is all there can ever be between us.
.
As the saying goes, evil people live a thousand years. The villain, whose blood had once run dry and whose breath had stopped, somehow drew another breath.
The villain who hadn't managed to die was carried home by the great hero and locked away.
The hero personally cared for him day and night, feeding him meals and medicine, nursing his long-standing illness.
He even laid down eighteen rules, telling him to let go of his hatred, change his ways, stop wanting to kill, and relinquish his obsessions.
Well, would you look at that. He wanted to be a Buddha and deliver him from the sea of suffering through his own suffering.
He had lost count of what day it was since he'd been locked up.
The summer night was cool, and a gentle breeze blew.
The lotus flowers in the pond Li Yingpu had planted for him were in full bloom.
Yin Liansha had just survived another bout of life-threatening coughing and wheezing. He wanted to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, but he didn't even have the strength to lift his thin, bony fingers.
...Forget it, Great Hero Li.
He murmured and gave a weary laugh, closing his eyes as he leaned against the man's chest.
How long can you really keep someone alive when his heart meridians are shattered, hmm?
The great hero held him, wiping his face, rubbing his back, and helping him catch his breath. At his words, he fell silent for a long time, his eyes reddening.
The porcelain spoon clinked against the white bowl.
Li Yingpu brought another spoonful of medicine to the man's pallid lips and said hoarsely, "Don't fuss. You coughed up blood... Lie down properly and take another sip of medicine."
