Chapter 1041:


"No, no, don’t, don’t do this!" Ye Chen shouted anxiously.


"Brother Chen..." Ms. Yan’s voice was weak, she looked at Ye Chen with affection and then said, "Sometimes, in this world, we are indeed not in control of ourselves, and I have my own difficulties, so I hope you don’t blame me, okay?"


"No, I didn’t... I never blamed you!" Ye Chen held Ms. Yan tightly, letting his tears flow freely, then said aggrievedly, "Sister, I never once blamed you, even if you were to kill me, I wouldn’t hold any grievance, but why do you keep helping me over and over again? Now that I think about it, there really are no good people for no reason in this world. I once thought that the Red Clothes Great Master of the Church Court was a good person for no reason, but it was you, Sister!"


"Fool, who else would I help if not you?" Ms. Yan’s voice was very weak, and her face very pale, lacking any blood color. Seeing this, Ye Chen urgently shouted, "Doctor, doctor, Jimmy, quickly get the doctor for me!"


"Yes, yes!" Jimmy had been guarding beside Ye Chen the whole time, afraid that the strange old woman might suddenly attack from the darkness. When Ye Chen asked him to find a doctor, he dashed into the inner city without turning back, shouting madly.


"Brother Chen, it’s useless!" Ms. Yan shook her head, saying, "Sister knows her situation better than anyone else. I can feel my Primordial Energy draining away. Brother Chen, don’t worry, sister won’t leave you. Even if I turn into a mere soul, I’ll watch over you from the sky. Always..."


"Sister!" Ye Chen saw that Ms. Yan’s voice was getting weaker, and he shouted urgently, "No... don’t... don’t leave me!"


"There’s no such thing as an endless banquet in this world, Brother Chen. Sister has done things that let you down!" Ms. Yan could hardly keep her eyes open, and she tried hard to make herself more awake. She took a deep breath, a breath that almost choked her, and urgently said, "Brother Chen, sister never told you about your parents, nor did I tell you I once infiltrated the Dragon Team, just as a mole, to grasp more Huaxia matters, to gather more information for the Church Court to establish in East Asia!"


"No, I don’t blame you, because... because none of this was your choice!" Ye Chen said urgently.


"Brother Chen, I...I’m so... cold!" Ms. Yan’s face turned ashen. Although Ottawa’s temperature wasn’t cold, Ms. Yan felt cold because her Life Energy was draining. Ye Chen held Ms. Yan tightly and shouted, "Quick, move the bonfire over!"


"Yes!" The soldiers hurriedly started to move the bonfire close to Ms. Yan.


"Sister, is it still cold?" Ye Chen felt the warmth of the flame. However, Ms. Yan’s complexion still didn’t improve. She nodded and said, "In Brother Chen’s arms, sister feels... a lot better!"


"Sister, don’t worry, I will definitely save you!" Ye Chen gritted his teeth and promised.


"Sister believes in you..." Ms. Yan nodded weakly, only feeling her eyelids getting heavier, feeling her Life Energy continuously depleting, and sensing she didn’t have much time left. Ms. Yan said weakly, "Brother Chen, I... I’m so tired, I really want... to sleep!"


"No, sister, don’t sleep. You mustn’t sleep!" Ye Chen shouted urgently. At this moment, falling asleep might mean never waking up again. Ye Chen kept calling out to Ms. Yan, but at this moment, Ms. Yan could only see Ye Chen’s lips moving, could see Ye Chen’s anxious expression, but couldn’t hear any sound from the outside world. Her world seemed to have become quiet, as quiet as a phantom world.


"Brother Chen, kiss me..." Ms. Yan said with her eyes half-closed.


"Okay!" Ye Chen kissed her without hesitation. Ms. Yan’s lips were icy, with a slight warmth lingering only on the tip of her tongue. Ye Chen held Ms. Yan’s red lips, trying to pass some warmth to her. A flush appeared on Ms. Yan’s face, and her arms, previously resting on Ye Chen’s shoulders, gently fell down, her ten slender fingers slowly relaxing, touching the ground.


As Ms. Yan’s fingers fell to the ground, a brilliant ray of light left the center of her brow, unnoticed by anyone. In the void, a free-floating hue appeared, as if a shadow of Ms. Yan, with a slight furrow between its brows as if troubled by something. She lowered her head, speaking softly, "I don’t want you to see my aged face down there."


The voice was as crisp and melodious as an oriole exiting a valley. On the ground, Ms. Yan’s smooth, rounded arms ultimately slipped down, and she unwillingly closed her once beautiful eyes.


"Sister..." Ye Chen’s heart was filled with sadness.


"Mr. Ye, the doctor is here!" Jimmy shouted urgently. A doctor in a white coat hurriedly ran over, carrying a silver first aid kit. Accompanying him were two nurses.


"Quick... make way!" The doctor panted heavily, and the two nurses hurriedly placed a stretcher on the ground. Ye Chen dared not delay and quickly laid Ms. Yan flat on the stretcher. The doctor rushed to check for signs of life. After his examination, the doctor shook his head helplessly and said, "It’s no use, there’s no longer any sign of life."


"No, no!!" Ye Chen immediately knelt down, he lay on Ms. Yan’s body, sobbing: "Sister, no... Sister, this isn’t the outcome I wanted, why, why is it like this, why, why did you have to leave me!"


Ye Chen’s cries of grief made everyone at the scene bow their heads, Jimmy took off the hat from his head, and the members of the Seal Team all took off their Maozi. Jimmy led the bow of respect to Ms. Yan, he had been a spectator from beginning to end, observing all of Ms. Yan’s actions and gestures. To Jimmy, Ms. Yan was a woman who dared to sacrifice her life for love, she was a woman worthy of respect by people all over.


"Salute!" Jimmy shouted.


The sound of applause...


Everyone saluted in the direction of Ms. Yan, the Seal Team, the guard team of the Chaikefu family, and the workers present all saluted, each with a solemn expression. They knew that tonight, in Sunset City, a very important figure had passed away.


Ye Chen’s tears fell on the ground, but could not bring back Ms. Yan’s life. She still lay on the ground, with that smile and a hint of shyness, as if she were a bashful young girl. Ye Chen gently picked her up, whispering softly in her ear: "Sister, I’m going to take you to a place that belongs to you and me!"


Ye Chen whispered softly as he walked, and Jimmy and the others stepped aside to make way.


"Ten years of life and death blur indistinct, no thinking, only hard to forget. A lonely grave a thousand miles away, nowhere to speak the desolation."


Ye Chen murmured softly, tears fell onto Ms. Yan’s brow, he held her and slowly walked towards the Royal Palace. At this moment, a rain of flowers fell from the sky, as if the whole world were weeping, and from the void came a sorrowful song: "Ten years of life and death blur indistinct, no thinking, only hard to forget. A lonely grave a thousand miles away, nowhere to speak the desolation."


Jimmy and the others looked up at the flower rain in the sky, shaking their heads in emotion. Was this heaven’s painful cry of mourning too? Had heaven been touched by the moving story of Ye Chen and Ms. Yan? Feng Zhixiao and the others had already returned, and a heavy rain had washed all the bloodstains clean.


"It’s really frustrating, that it starts raining at this time!" Feng Zhixiao complained as he walked.


"Alright, we couldn’t catch up, so let’s focus on Brother Chen!" Li Tieniu rubbed his cropped short hair, saying: "It seems that the Grand Sect Leader in Red Robe is someone of great importance to Brother Chen!"


"Of course, she saved Brother Chen so many times, maybe Brother Chen had already conquered her at the bedside!" Feng Zhixiao flashed a lascivious smile.


"Enough, she’s gone, stop making fun!" Da Xia glared at them, saying: "Don’t you know, the Red Robed Sect Leader is actually a woman named Yun Yan, and she’s Brother Chen’s confidante, though they seem to have long surpassed the relationship of confidantes, so... haha, you understand!"


"Oh my god, is that so?!" Feng Zhixiao was surprised, he took off his hat, saying: "Salute to the wife!"


"Get out of here!" Everyone glared at Feng Zhixiao.


Ye Chen carried Ms. Yan into the Royal Palace, with no extravagant style, no bustling inner palace, and certainly no three thousand palace maidens to serve him. All there was was a magnificent, grand palace, three thousand steps, three hundred lions, more than a thousand guards standing neatly on the side of the steps.


Ye Chen walked step by step up the stairs, and on each side of the stairs, every ten steps there were two giant stone lions. This palace could be said to be exceedingly magnificent, most people standing on these steps would instantly feel a sense of open-mindedness to encompass the world, and a commanding presence.


Unfortunately, Ye Chen at this moment had no mood to admire such grandeur and magnificence, his heart was filled with sadness, more filled with pain. Ms. Yan’s death was a heavy blow to Ye Chen. However, this blow held extremely important significance for Ye Chen’s life. If he could stand up, then... he would surely soar high; if he could not bear this blow, then he would surely collapse, and perhaps there would no longer be anyone named Ye Chen.


Inside the palace, a bright light illuminated the hall brightly, Ye Chen placed Ms. Yan on the central table of the hall. The soldiers hurriedly prepared a bed for Ye Chen, a marble bed frame was brought in, and on the bed frame lay a large mattress. The mattress was handcrafted, originally meant to wait until Sunset City was completed before being brought in, unexpectedly it was used ahead of time. The mattress was adorned with patterns sewn in golden threads, incredibly beautiful.


Ye Chen placed Ms. Yan on the mattress, then covered her with the Phoenix quilt. A fiery Phoenix spread its wings on the quilt. Ye Chen’s tears never ceased, he closed his eyes, sat at the bedside, watching Ms. Yan who still kept her rosy glow. Just like a shy young girl.


Ms. Yan’s death brought Ye Chen grief that moved heaven and earth. It was Ms. Yan who saved him, if not for Ms. Yan, the one lying here would certainly be him. Ye Chen felt pain in his heart, he gritted his teeth, saying: "Sister, what virtue or ability do I have to meet a woman like you in this life. Is it my blessing from a past life, or is it because of some good deeds I’ve done in this life?"


Ye Chen whispered softly in Ms. Yan’s ear.
