Summary: Shen Wei will save Zhao Yunlan if it's the last thing he does.


There’s pain and nothing else.

The wounds on his body; the weakness of the blood loss; the light energy tearing him apart from the inside. It’d been a dull ache for weeks, but now it’s a million small blades cutting into him incessantly.

Shen Wei wants to close his eyes, but can’t—there’s Zhao Yunlan, too, always, and he’s hurt, badly, and Shen Wei can’t help—

Ye Zun summons more energy to hurl it at Zhao Yunlan. Shen Wei finds his strength.

He stands up; takes the hit for Zhao Yunlan; collapses; smiles.

Yunlan will live. That’s all that matters.
