Bai Zheng stared at Feng Linyuan for a long while before her lips trembled: ”Swear, you will definitely wake up and marry me.”

Feng Linyuan solemnly nodded: ”I swear, I will definitely wake up.”

”Marry me.” Bai Zheng emphasized each word.

”Zheng, you know that even if I wake up, I won't be able to live for long …” Feng Linyuan laughed bitterly.

”Swear that you will wake up, live well, and marry me. You said you would protect me for the rest of my life. ” Bai Zheng stubbornly refused to give in.

Feng Linyuan looked at Bai Zheng, and the two of them stared at each other, in a deadlock.

In the end, Feng Linyuan helplessly sighed and said in a low voice, ”Alright.”

Bai Zheng stared at Feng Linyuan without blinking. Then, she slowly put down the hand that she was blocking.

Feng Linyuan swallowed the pill without hesitation.

Bai Zheng stared closely at Feng Linyuan, only to see that not long after she swallowed the medicine, Feng Linyuan's forehead started to sweat profusely.

Bai Zheng immediately pulled him down and laid him down, then took a thin blanket and gently placed it on Feng Linyuan's body. However, Feng Linyuan's eyes were still closed, his brows were knitted from start to end, and his lips started to exude a green and purple hue.

It must have hurt. Bai Zheng bit her lips and continued to wipe it with her handkerchief.

The current Feng Linyuan felt as if his whole body was in excruciating pain. A wave of fury was burning from his throat all the way to his internal organs, as if it was going to tear him apart.

It was as if someone had set a fire in his chest that was constantly burning, but there seemed to be a ball of cotton stuck at his mouth and nose, blocking his breathing. He could not even take a breath of air even after exerting all his strength.

Bai Zheng looked at Feng Linyuan's expression and his entire heart tensed up.

A multitude of pain welled up from the bottom of her heart. She could not help but raise her hand and grab Feng Linyuan's hand as she spoke in a hoarse voice.

”Feng Linyuan, you must endure. You must endure. You just promised to marry me and protect me, and then you intend to go back on your word? It was you who said that marrying me will dissolve your fate … ”

Feng Linyuan clenched his teeth, his entire body trembling, as though he was about to lose consciousness. But when he held Bai Zheng's hand, he completely restrained his strength and didn't use any strength.

He had been sweating, and his body was cold even in the charred room.

”Are you cold? Are you very cold?” Bai Zheng held Feng Linyuan's hand, and felt that it was getting colder and colder. She looked at the trembling Feng Linyuan, and saw his pale face.

Bai Zheng sat on the side of the bed, bent down, and pulled Feng Linyuan into her embrace.

”You promised, you will marry me, and if you go back on your word, I will capture you and bring you back to the Underworld, Feng Linyuan, you won't be able to escape …”

Bai Zheng kept on talking to wake Feng Linyuan up. The arms around each other tightened, and the two figures intertwined like vines around a tree trunk.

It was like a weak light that was emitted from the darkness, causing one's heart to tremble.

Feng Linyuan's consciousness became more and more unfocused. He was in too much pain. It was as if thousands of ants were gnawing all over his body, and his limbs and bones were in unbearable pain.

In a trance, he seemed to have arrived at a familiar city.

”Yuan, that little brat Zhuo Yi has come to disturb the peace of my Great Zhou again. This time, the two of us will beat him until he can't recover, and will completely withdraw back into his Xiliang!” A hearty laugh came from the person in front of him. That person was dressed in a military uniform and had a head full of black hair that was tied high to his head. He looked at the person with a spirited expression.

”Father!”

The scene changed, several figures could be seen within the military tent, their silhouettes reflected in the candlelight.

”Yuan'er, the matter of the rations is up to you. Zhuo Yi is a cruel and merciless man, he has always been swift and decisive in battles. If we want to win, we have to catch him off guard. ”

With that, he turned his head with a smile and said to the people behind him, ”Liang Sheng, He Dong, Lin Qiao, quickly go and rest. There will be another tough battle tomorrow.”
