The Transmigrated Cannon Fodder Overthrows the Male Protagonist - CH 68.1

Big Brother’s Epilogue (1)

On Mount Snowdrop, Lan Ziyu sat muddled and haggard, holding the body of a corpse that had grown cold and stiff. But he held Lan Min with unusual gentleness, as if the person in his arms was not dead but sleeping.

But the blackened bloodstains on her clothes let everyone know that the soft woman who had followed Lan Ziyu into the battlefield and finally sacrificed her life to protect the Emperor of the Lan Kingdom was the only Princess of the Lan Kingdom!

And she was already dead ….

But what was clearer in everyone’s eyes was that this dead Princess was more important to the Emperor of the Lan Kingdom than his life. The smell of blood in the air could not be masked despite the days of cleaning up the corpses and blood around them.

All those who were with Lan Ziyu in the ambush knew that on that day, their coldest and most indifferent Emperor, like a madman, hugged a woman who was dying and cried out in despair. And that woman, so righteously, blocked the poisoned arrow that was shot at Lan Ziyu when no one else reacted.

But did the woman not anticipate that the arrow would not only kill her but also drive the Emperor to madness with her death?

On that day, many people died, not only the enemy’s but also their own. Those guards who failed to protect Lan Min were sliced like melons by Lan Ziyu, one by one, ruthlessly, like a red-eyed beast.

There was only pain!

Only when Lan Ziyu fell and passed out, did the guards behind him dare to come out and carry him out of the sea of blood.

When he found Lan Min’s body in the pile of the dead, her coat was already red with blood, and Lan Ziyu, dressed in white, carried Lan Min, who was covered in blood, back to Mount Snowdrop, where he sat for three days!

He did not eat, did not drink, did not sleep, did not move, and his eyes were full of despair and death as if Lan Ziyu had died instead of Lan Min.

“Firstly, I want you to unify the three kingdoms and become the absolute King. And then I’ll take the kingdoms as your dowry to marry me! Secondly, I want you to unify the three kingdoms and find the silk and the flower to make me the only wedding dress in the world. Thirdly, our bloodline prevents us from having children, so I want you to raise an heir to the Lan kingdom like yourself and never let the kingdom fall into the hands of a foreigner! I want to be the Empress Dowager and your wife even after I die! If you don’t promise me, you and I will never meet again in the Yellow Springs for the rest of our lives!”

Lan Ziyu’s heart was already aching to the point that he could not feel it anymore, and his ears seemed to be hallucinating. His mind was consumed with Lan Min and the sweetness of the past. The vow she had so resolutely sworn – originally, he’d thought that the statement of the Yellow Springs was absurdity. But now that he thought about it, why did he feel so ridiculous?

Why did the happiness disappear so unexpectedly? When Lan Min suddenly rushed out that day, his heart felt ominous. But she had not a single piece of defence. Watching her slip away right in front of him, he could not even react to the shock.

When he reacted, she never woke up again. His heart, aching, could hardly breathe. With every beat, there accompanied cries of despair and throbbing pain.

He didn’t know how to relieve the heartbreaking pain, the suffocating desperation of breathing, other than to kill those who had caused Lan Min pain.

His mind went blank, except for the uncontrollable killing. Until the sudden pain in his head caused him to close his eyes. He closed his eyes and saw Lan Min lying quietly on the other side as if she was sleeping. Do you hate me that much?

That night, he had a dream, and the things in the dream were so clear: his cold self, the self who was cruel to the woman he loved, the self who watched the strange woman torment Lan Min into a pig, the self who eventually became a member of that disgusting woman’s harem and surrendered the kingdom of Lan to her…

When he woke up, he didn’t dare to go back to sleep because the dream of himself and Lan Min’s final cry of despair before she died made his body feel like it had fallen into an ice cave. That wasn’t him. He wouldn’t do that to Lan Min! It wasn’t him …it wasn’t …!
