"This question, why don't you go ask him yourself?"
Tang Xiaomin said to the ghost messenger beside her, "You, take her to see Tang Xu."
"Yes, Queen."
When Tang Yiyi heard the ghost messenger respectfully call her "Queen," she was once again shocked.
"Tang Xiaomin, what in the world is going on? What 'Queen'?"
The ghost messenger, who usually treated her with scolding and harshness, was now bowing and scraping to Tang Xiaomin.
The ghost messenger scornfully said, "The name of the Queen of the Underworld is not for you to utter. Look at your own status."
The ghost messenger angrily waved the whip in his hand and lashed it fiercely at Tang Yiyi.
She was already in a terrible state, and now it looked like she was being flogged even after death.
"Stop it. Just take her to see Tang Xu," Tang Xiaomin said.
Tang Yiyi had lost her life, and now she was a prisoner. As the saying goes, 'Don't chase a cornered rat.' There was no point in bullying her.
After Tang Xiaomin left, the ghost messenger, chaining Tang Yiyi with iron chains, led her on foot to find Tang Xu.
Tang Xu was in a special area awaiting reincarnation, and he was even treated as a VIP, living alone in an elegantly furnished small building.
The ghost messenger said coldly to Tang Yiyi, "You have one quarter of an hour. Speak quickly."
"If you dare to escape, I'll drag you back and send you to the Saw Hell to be sawed in half."
Having endured the torments of hell, Tang Yiyi learned her lesson and nodded her head vigorously.
"Go in."
The door to the small detached house was ajar. Tang Yiyi pushed it open and walked in.
In the relatively spacious living room, Tang Xu was lounging on the sofa, reading.
At first glance, he was a scholarly handsome man, as serene as if he had stepped out of a two-dimensional painting.
"Tang Xu..."
Tang Yiyi excitedly approached Tang Xu. Having had her tongue removed, she could only manage a hoarse sound.
Tang Xu looked up upon hearing her, and seeing Tang Yiyi, who had been so disfigured by torture, he was first stunned, but only for a moment.
"Yiyi, why are you here?"
Tang Yiyi excitedly grabbed Tang Xu's hand and threw herself into his embrace.
A thousand words turned into four words on her lips.
"I missed you so much."
After experiencing so many events, Tang Xu's feelings had changed.
Tang Yiyi, in his arms, he had once poured all his emotions into, even going so far as to kill his own sister to save her.
He used to think he loved Tang Yiyi dearly, and that whatever he did for her was voluntary.
It wasn't until Tang Yiyi died that he was diagnosed with severe paranoia.
Later, he was willing to risk his life to save Tang Xiaomin. Sudan Novel Network
Only then did he finally understand that his feelings for Tang Yiyi over the years were not love, but merely because he was ill.
He was a doctor, yet he didn't even know he was sick, and he had even harmed his own sister.
All of this seemed so absurd.
He pushed Tang Yiyi away and said indifferently,
"You've come to see me, is there something you need?"
Tang Yiyi, who had been pushed away, was stunned. She couldn't quite believe that Tang Xu would push her away.
"Tang Xu, every moment after death, I missed you terribly."
"And you, did you miss me?"
Tang Xu fell into a brief moment of confusion, hesitating whether or not to tell Tang Yiyi the truth.
Getting no answer, Tang Yiyi vaguely sensed that Tang Xu had changed, which made her nervous.
"Tang Xu, Tang Xiaomin just told me that you died saving her. How is that possible? She must be lying to me deliberately, she's best at sowing discord."
"Tang Xu, you've suffered. It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, Tang Xiaomin wouldn't have laid a poisonous hand on you. I'm sorry, Tang Xu."
"This feeling you have for me, I can only repay it in the next life. In the next life, you must wait for me, okay?"
"Next life?" Tang Xu asked.
"Yes."
"My torment in hell hasn't ended yet. Only after it ends can I enter reincarnation. In the next life, we will definitely be together again, as a family."
Upon hearing that they would meet again in the next life, Tang Xu was horrified.
In this life, because of Tang Yiyi, he had done so many wrong things, it was already enough suffering.
Forget about the next life. Honestly, he was now afraid of seeing Tang Yiyi.
Because Tang Yiyi's existence constantly reminded him that he was a man burdened with sin.
"Xiaomin didn't lie to you, I did die saving her," Tang Xu said.
"What? How can that be?"
Tang Yiyi was shocked, her face filled with disbelief.
"Tang Xu, you're lying to me, aren't you? How could you die saving her? You don't love her."
Love?
For Tang Xu, it was more accurate to call it an illness.
"Since you're here, it's better if I clarify some things with you."
"Before you died, I always thought I had loved you for years. For you, I was willing to do anything, even to the point of killing my own sister."
"After you died, I suddenly developed that feeling for Xiaomin too. I thought I had gone mad then."
"It wasn't until later, when a doctor accidentally discovered that I actually suffered from a severe paranoia, that I understood. My feelings for you were not love, but an illness."
"I can give everything for you, and I can also give my life for Xiaomin without hesitation. Do you understand now?"
Listening to Tang Xu's words, Tang Yiyi trembled all over, unable to accept this truth.
"You're lying to me... You're lying to me, aren't you? How can you not love me!"
"Impossible!"
Tang Yiyi screamed hoarsely, unable to accept such a cruel reality, frantically grabbing her hair, trying to escape from reality.
Tang Xu sighed helplessly. This truth was difficult for Tang Yiyi to accept, but all ties should be severed.
"I'm sorry, I was just ill. My feelings for you were not romantic love. I'm also very sorry to have to tell you the truth at this point."
"Yiyi, the mistakes of the past life cannot be undone. In the next life, let's not meet again."
Tang Xu, in a gentlemanly tone, spoke the most heartless words.
Tang Yiyi's heart felt as if sharp knives were slicing into it, one by one.
She had lost everything, leaving only Tang Xu's feelings.
Now, to be told that Tang Xu's feelings for her were not feelings at all, but an illness.
For her, nothing could be more painful than this.
"You're lying to me, how can you not love me?"
"You're lying to me, right?"
She excitedly grabbed Tang Xu's arm again.
"Tell me, tell me you're lying to me."
"Tell me you love me. Say it!"
Facing Tang Yiyi, who refused to accept the truth, Tang Xu remained unmoved, standing coldly in place.
He didn't push her away, only patiently explained verbally.
"Yiyi, whether you believe it or not, the fact is the fact. My feelings for you were truly not love."
