Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress

After coughing, Liu Rushuang’s body trembled softly for a moment, then fell limp in Han Moze’s arms.

A second later, Liu Rushuang shut her heavy eyelids and let her head droop powerlessly onto Han Moze’s arms. She faced slightly outwards, and so strands of her hair swayed softly against the night breeze. She looked like she had taken her last breath.

Han Moze sensed Liu Rushuang’s incredibly weak breath and suddenly froze. His nose felt sore and it felt like there was something in his eyes wanting to pour out.

Han Moze immediately reached his hand out to hold Liu Rushuang’s head. When he saw Liu Rushuang’s pale white lips covered in blood, Han Moze couldn’t help but start to tremble softly. The brimming tears poured from his eyes like a broken string of pearls and slid down her face. One drip after another, they fell upon Liu Rushuang’s blood soaked clothes.

“Shuang’er, wake up! Could you not sleep? I’ll give you whatever you want. Shuang’er! Please, I beg you, wake up! I beg you!”

Liu Rushuang heard the sound of Han Moze crying, and two rows of tears also fell from the corner of her eyes. Her eyelids slightly fluttered for a moment, then she slowly squinted. “Ze, don’t cry, alright? Because when I see you cry, I feel like crying too,” she whispered.

Han Moze took a deep breath and held back his brimming tears. He hugged L, kissed her forehead and spoke with a quiet, slightly choked up voice. “Alright, Shuang’er. I won’t cry anymore. You shouldn’t cry anymore either, alright? I was wrong to make you sad. Sorry, sorry! I’ll never make you sad ever again!”

Liu Rushuang’s complexion looked as white as paper and her body was so ice-cold that it hadn’t the slightest bit of heat. Barely awake, she managed to speak in a soft voice. “Ze, after I pass away, you must live on. Got that? Because I’ll be watching you from heaven every second. Seeing you happy would make me happy. Also, you’re the ruler of a nation. You mustn’t not have an heir. After I’m gone, you…”

“No! Don’t speak anymore. Shuang’er, I don’t want anyone besides you.” Han Moze couldn’t help but stop Liu Rushuang from finishing. His heart ached and the tears fell uncontrollably.

Liu Rushuang seemed to have already known that would happen, so she said no more. She shut her eyes, as though she had no more strength to speak but slightly turned her body. “It’s so c-cold…” She mumbled.

Han Moze immediately stripped off his outer clothing and wrap it around Liu Rushuang, then tightly cuddled her in his own arms. “Shuang’er, don’t sleep. I’ll take you back to the palace now, alright? I’ll definitely heal your wounds.”

“Ze, watch the sunset with me just once, won’t you?” said Liu Rushuang in a quiet voice.

Han Moze laid his head upon Liu Rushuang’s ice-cold shoulder and shuddered as he cried. “Alright, Shuang’er. I’ll watch the sunset with you. From now on, I promise to do anything you want. I’ll always stay with you and never leave you ever again,” murmured with a slightly choked up voice.

All the strength in Liu Rushuang’s entire body disappeared, as she fell limp against Han Moze’s body. She had a faint smile upon her face which was so pale that there wasn’t a speck of blood.

Standing not too far from Han Moze was a yellow cat demon who had a pleased look on her face. “That wretched human. It looks like he’ll be dead soon. Seeing the sad and distressed look on his face feels great!” She said with her piercing voice and a smile on her face.

“That nightmare enchantment circle was created by two hundred of our cat demons after all. No normal human can break the illusion. From how I see things, that human will die without a doubt!” Agreed a white cat demon.

“Haha! You’re right. Only death awaits humans who enter the nightmare enchantment circle. We just don’t know how much longer it will take for this human’s nightmare to end,” replied the yellow cat demon.
