Chapter 1173: Chapter 847: Chasing Wife in the Crematorium

He knew that Shen Tang had a soft heart, and as long as she could get pregnant, there would be a lifelong bond between them that could not be erased.

There were still decades to go; she would eventually forgive him.

He would prove to her that even without other Beast Husbands, he could take good care of her, and the love he could give her was no less than anyone else’s.

The System couldn’t stand it anymore, [Host, you’ve said so much, but this snake still doesn’t get it!]

[Host, give him something harsh—fake your death and run away pregnant, or commit suicide in front of him to honor Shen Li and the others! Let him truly experience the agony of pursuing a lost love.]

Shen Tang said, "What kind of terrible idea is that?"

[Hehe, all the tragic romance novels I’ve been reading lately are written this way. The host should fiercely torment him, make him regret for life, so he dares not to do such things again.]

Shen Tang:... That’s way too melodramatic!

This method might work on others, but Xue Yinzhou’s nature is extreme and suspicious; such a drastic provocation might make him even more reactive, his desire for control becoming terrifyingly intense, leading to even more uncontrollable events.

Xue Yinzhou had a hard time controlling the Bone of Devouring, and his personality had become much gentler than before. Shen Tang didn’t want to provoke him; what if it intensified his negative traits? Wouldn’t it be counterproductive?

Returning to the plot of the dream, Shen Tang eventually got pregnant and gave birth to a snake egg.

Xue Yinzhou became even more cautious, putting everything else aside, taking care of the mother and child every day, wholeheartedly incubating the snake egg.

But Shen Tang no longer wanted to see him, asking him to leave with the snake egg and not to appear in her sight again.

She said: Come back when he understands what true love is.

A helpless compromise, a disguised breaking of the ice.

Xue Yinzhou felt they finally had a chance to reconcile, so he put even more effort into hatching the egg, hoping to see her again once the child hatched.

Xue Yinzhou left the Royal Palace with the snake egg, heading to another place he had originally prepared for hatching the egg, an environment that was good and full of energy, suitable for incubating the snake egg.

But unexpectedly, when Xue Yinzhou returned, he found the Royal Palace had been attacked, and Shen Tang had been taken away.

It turns out the beastmen from the Divine Hall had not been completely eliminated—after all, the Divine Hall had been plotting on Eris Star for so many years. Even if the empire falls overnight, it was impossible to eradicate the residual forces quickly.

Those people came back with revenge in their hearts, attacking the Royal Palace while Xue Yinzhou was away and taking the females away.

The strength of those beastmen was formidable, and the palace guards were simply no match for them.

Shen Tang had just given birth and was weak, also no match, and was ultimately taken away by them.

Xue Yinzhou was furious to the extreme and very remorseful.

No matter how strong he was, he was ultimately just one person and couldn’t handle everything by himself.

If Shen Li and the others were still there, they could have taken good care of Shen Tang, and she wouldn’t have been captured.

Xue Yinzhou later found the lair of those assailants, killed everyone, and retrieved Shen Tang.

But Shen Tang was seriously injured.

When Xue Yinzhou found her, she had been tortured beyond recognition, a bloody hole in her chest, her heart crushed, and her Crystal Core removed, leaving her devoid of superpowers.

She was like a fragmented, broken doll, with blood pooling beneath her, her breath almost entirely vanished.

Seeing this scene, Xue Yinzhou nearly went insane.

He stumbled over, wanting to hold the female in his arms, but he trembled, unsure of how to proceed.

He didn’t even dare to embrace her, fearing that any movement might shatter her.

He sought out the best doctors, issuing a death order: Shen Tang must be saved.

But the female’s injuries were too severe; her Crystal Core was shattered, her body having no self-healing ability left at all. Even with the best medical skills, the best drugs, if the female held a strong will to live, perhaps there might be a slim chance of survival.

But Shen Tang had long since lost the will to live.

She felt she had failed Shen Li and the others, unable to protect them, and now she wanted to go with them, to reunite with them.

In the end, she withered away in his arms, like a flower in full bloom that wilted with regret.

The beloved female lay in his embrace, lifeless.

Xue Yinzhou’s large tears fell, yet his expression reflected a kind of numbness, as if his heart was dying too.

It was all his fault.

He was the one who caused Tangtang’s death.

If only he hadn’t acted so extremely for his own selfish desires back then, things would not have turned out this way.

He initially wanted Shen Tang to stay by his side longer but ended up losing her completely.

Xue Yinzhou was filled with regret and agony, even contemplating following her in death. If heaven gave him another chance, he would certainly not make the same choice.

As long as he could bring her back, he was willing to pay any price, be it his life or any other cost.

He only wished for her return, to stay by his side.

Nothing else mattered.

"Tangtang..."

When Xue Yinzhou awoke, he was covered in cold sweat, his pillow and bedding soaked through.

He looked down at the female still sleeping peacefully in his arms, his expression showing astonishment and confusion.

After a long while, he slowly came back to his senses.

It turned out he had been dreaming.

A nightmare.
