Xi Ling coldly snorted. "Atonement? "Even though I, Xi Ling, have always been a wild and arrogant person, I have never maliciously harmed anyone. What kind of sin do you want me to redeem?"

The old man looked at him with sympathy. "The sin of a previous life."

"Ridiculous, do you think my West Tomb will believe such absurd words?" Xi Ling was extremely disdainful.

The old man sighed, "This old man knows that His Majesty will not believe me. This old man only pitied Your Majesty, and did not wish for His Majesty to leave so mysteriously, so I came here today."

Xi Ling's expression was not good. At any moment, he could kill this old man.

The old man shook his head and calmly left the man's sword. Walking to the door, he said, "A month from now, the color of His Majesty's blood will darken. When it turns black, it will be when His Majesty passes away." The old man turned his head. "Your Majesty, you won't make it through the summer." After saying this, the old man unexpectedly disappeared. Even Xi Ling opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

The old man's sorrowful voice echoed in the air, "Destined cannot be solved."

"Mistress." The black-robed man tried to call out to him, but Xi Ling did not let him continue. The black-robed man tactfully left.

Su Nuo slightly frowned and woke up from Xi Ling's embrace. Seeing that it was Xi Ling, she asked in a daze, "Ling, what's wrong?" This was the first time in these days that Su Nuo had called out to him so clearly, especially when he woke up.

Xi Ling regained his senses and caressed Su Nuo's face. "I'm fine. Did you sleep well just now?"

Su Nuo nodded. She actually did not have a nightmare day after day. She leaned her head against the Western Tomb and said, "Ling, I just had a dream about an old grandpa."

Xi Ling faintly felt a jump between his brows. "Then, did you clearly see what that old man looked like?"

Su Nuo slightly raised her head and seriously thought, "I can't see it clearly, but the old grandpa looks very kind. He has white beard on his hair, and he's like an immortal. He even pulled my hand and said he wants me to cherish you."

Su Nuo knocked on the door and said, "Ling, you don't look good, are you sick?" Su Nuo faintly recalled that she seemed to have been sick a few days ago, constantly having nightmares. At that time, this was how her Ling Family was always accompanying her.

Thinking of this, Su Nuo was very worried in her heart. "Ling, you don't need to take care of me. Go and have a good rest."

Xi Ling hugged Su Nuo tightly. "I'm fine. I'm fine. Don't worry." Xi Ling tightly pressed his face against Su Nuo's. And at a place that Su Nuo couldn't see, his eyes were ice-cold.

Although the words of his idiotic woman made him a little worried, but no matter what, he would not believe that there was such a thing as karma in this world. From his point of view, the West Tomb only had the law of the jungle, and this life was already over, there was no way for him to reincarnate.

Therefore, he only wanted to live his life well and obtain everything he wanted. As for what he didn't want, it had nothing to do with the West Tomb.

However, aside from the sudden twitching of his body and the fact that Su Nuo's consciousness had stabilized, Xi Ling was very happy. However, the more frequent the twitching was, the more he could no longer ignore it.

"Ling, are we going out to play?" Su Nuo asked as she watched her servants pack their things.

A heart-wrenching pain filled his entire body. He didn't even know where the pain was coming from. However, Xi Ling only clenched his fists tightly and spoke to Su Nuo with a normal expression, "That's right. Didn't you, an idiot woman, always want to go out and play? Since there's nothing else you need, I'll reluctantly accompany you out to play."

"Really." Su Nuo's face was suddenly filled with smiles.

The pain suddenly intensified, causing Xi Ling's face to gradually turn pale. A thin layer of cold sweat flowed down his forehead. Xi Ling wanted to stand up and leave, but no matter what, he couldn't stand up.

Su Nuo turned around. No matter how silly she was, she could tell that something was wrong. She quickly moved closer to Xi Ling. "Ling, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine." Xi Ling answered with some difficulty.

Su Nuo did not believe him at all. She was so flustered that she told her servant girl to go ask for an imperial physician. Xi Ling stopped her, "It's nothing. It's an old illness left behind when I was young. It happens occasionally." The West Tomb was in a panic.

"Then we still need to see a doctor." Su Nuo was really anxious, so anxious that she couldn't fly to the hospital all of a sudden.

Xi Ling smiled at Su Nuo. "Imperial Physician Gu Nuo is useless." He paused for a moment, then pulled her to his side. "Hold me for a bit, then I won't feel pain anymore."

Su Nuo still wanted to call for an imperial physician, but seeing her family's mausoleum hurt so much that even her lips were white, she didn't know what to do. She didn't have the heart to make her family's mausoleum say another word, so she hastily said, "Okay, okay, I'll hug you, I'll hug you." As he said that, he hugged Xi Ling and consoled him.

Sweat trickled down Xi Ling's face, but he still smiled. Indeed, his idiotic woman cared for him a lot. At this moment, Xi Ling thought to himself, this kind of pain in exchange for the care of an idiot woman, it was truly worth it.

The pain slowly subsided and finally returned to normal. Su Nuo was still hugging Xi Ling in fear. Her expression was close to tears. Xi Ling held Su Nuo in his arms. "You idiot woman, you're really ugly now."

Su Nuo looked at his face. "Does it still hurt?"

Xi Ling held Su Nuo's hand and caressed his face that had turned pale due to the pain. "I already said, as long as you hold her, it won't hurt anymore."

However, Su Nuo tightly gripped his hand in fear. "Ling, don't scare me, really, don't scare me."

Xi Ling asked in a slightly serious tone, "Idiot girl, if I die one day, will you —"

Without waiting for Xi Ling to finish speaking, Su Nuo's expression completely changed. She immediately left Xi Ling's embrace, her entire body trembling. "Impossible, that is impossible."

Xi Ling was stunned for a moment. A kind of heartache spread within his heart. He was indeed unable to be selfless like the Duke of Bei Chen. Even though this idiotic woman was already like this, he still wanted to know his place in her heart.

"Good, that's impossible. I will live to the age of one hundred." Xi Ling walked over and held the trembling Su Nuo in his arms.

Su Nuo no longer had that nightmare and was able to recognize the West Tomb. In fact, she did not whisper to herself again and again about how the tomb was a holy place, but she would still be in a daze. Her eyes were empty and there was nothing inside.

In early summer, the wind that blew towards them always brought with it a wave of heat, but it wasn't particularly hot either. Leaving it on someone's face was rather comfortable.

Su Nuo liked to ride a horse on a day like this. She opened her hands and let the ruthless wind escape from her fingers, leaving behind a vague feeling.

"Ling, I like summer." Su Nuo turned around and said to Xi Ling behind her.

"Why?" In his heart, Xi Ling recalled the words of that old man. He knew that he wouldn't live past this summer.

"Because summer gives me a very brilliant feeling, short and wonderful." Su Nuo explained.

Xi Ling hugged her from behind and whispered into her ear, "It's good that you like it."

When Xiling and Su Nuo arrived at Wu Valley half a month later, Su Nuo looked at the road that led to Wu Valley and suddenly felt uneasy. "Ling, is there something you want to bury me in?"

"Idiot woman, are you being forced into delusions?" Xi Ling said as he followed Su Nuo inside.

Wu Gu was still the same as three years ago. Upon entering, he saw Wu Xi drinking tea and the two of them. He smiled and said, "I was wondering why my eyelids are constantly jumping today. So it's you!" Then he looked at Su Nuo and his smile deepened.

Xi Ling held Su Nuo as they dismounted. Without even looking at Wu Xi, he said, "I came here to give you face."

Wu Xi smiled, "Then can I reject it?"

Xi Ling ignored him and carefully placed Su Nuo on the ground. Wu Xi shook her head as she looked at him, "Not bad, you're really considerate and considerate. Big sister, I'm so envious of you."

It had been three years, but when he heard the word 'big sister', he didn't know why. Su Nuo felt goosebumps all over her body and didn't know how to accept it.

"Alright, you've been tired all day. Go and get some sleep." Xi Ling acted as if they were in their own territory, bringing Su Nuo with them to the previously prepared room. The corner of Wu Xi's mouth twitched.

Once inside the house, Su Nuo was put to bed. Only then did he remember and hurriedly said, "Ling, we should get Wu Xi to treat your illness. His medical skills are so good."

Xi Ling interrupted her, "Alright, but I'm tired now. I'll go tomorrow." As he spoke, he carried Su Nuo to sleep, not giving her the chance to retort.

Su Nuo looked at the closed eyes of Xi Ling and could only give up. Fortunately, her family's Ling Family had promised her that they would go back tomorrow.

Late at night!

Xi Ling opened his eyes and carefully removed Su Nuo's hand before leaving the room.

"Hey, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? Are you trying to seduce me?" Wu Xi faced the West Tomb inside his house.

Xi Ling didn't even bother to give him a supercilious look and directly sat down in front of him. "I might have been poisoned." As he spoke, he extended his hand towards Wu Xi, asking her to take his pulse.

"For a dignified emperor of the Southern Champion Kingdom to be poisoned, it is truly a huge joke." Although she said this, Wu Xi had already begun to put in a lot of effort for him. After a while, she said, "There's no sign of any poison."

Xi Ling slightly frowned as he recalled the old man's words. Without saying anything further, he took out a knife and cut his own hand, causing all of the blood to fall into the cup. Wu Xi saw that the blood in the cup had turned serious. The color of the blood in the cup was already darker than usual.

Wu Xi tested the poison, and finally shook her head, "There's no poison in the blood at all."

Xi Ling looked at the truth of what the old man had said, and after a long while, he said, "Wu Xi, do you believe that there is a reincarnation, a past and present life?"

"I do." Surprisingly, Wu Xi firmly said.

Xi Ling was surprised. "You believe me?"

"I believe it, because I had a dream ever since I was young, and then I met him." As Wu Xi spoke, her eyes were filled with sadness.

Xi Ling's expression became even more serious. "You mean that it was because of the entanglement of his previous life that you had this life?"
