She was his light, also his despair.

  Yan Beiting relied on his exquisite lightness skill and jumped onto the Yong'an Pavilion.

  This Yong'an Pavilion is seven stories high and is the tallest building in the entire Sheng family compound.

  Also in Kyoto Imperial Palace, one of the few high-rise buildings.

  It was built by the Ministry of Works specifically for the Sheng family when the former emperor granted Sheng Jing a hereditary title as Marquis Yong'an.

  I hope that after Sheng Jia becomes a noble, when he climbs up this building, he can still see the poverty of the common people in all directions.

  When encountering natural disasters and man-made calamities, the people are on the verge of collapse, yet they can still lend a helping hand to the imperial court...

  Yan Beiting stood on the rooftop, his robes fluttering in the wind, but he himself remained motionless, like a lifeless statue.

  But the cold chill emanating from him grew heavier and heavier...

  He hadn't thought about everything he experienced in the cave for a very, very long time!

  That was several months before he went on an expedition.

  It was he who actively sought out Sheng Jin'ou in Yun Cheng.

  Know that little girl went to the mountain to pick medicine, want to go say goodbye to little girl.

  However, he was pursued by the remaining forces of the Third and Sixth Princes, dragging the little girl into a life of bloodshed and danger.

  All the killers were killed off, and everyone around him was dead too.

  Too many people died, and the smell of blood was too strong, which attracted fierce beasts from the mountains.

  He pulled the little girl and competed with the black bear and wolf pack for speed, and escaped into that pit during the escape.

  It didn't fall all the way down and was blocked by a protruding rock in the center of the hole.

  In that case, he can go up first and then quickly come back to save her.

  But he was worried that the little girl would be afraid and get sick if she stayed alone in such a dark and cold cave, so he did something most impulsive - exhausting all his internal energy and cultivation, using all his strength, and even using his own body as a springboard to send the little girl up.

  She promised to come back and save him, and he also believed it.

  But he fell down and couldn't grab the edge of that protruding rock again!

  He kept falling down and landed at the bottom of the hole.

  But beneath it was a den of poison!

  He crashed into a snake's nest and smashed two snakes that were tangled together.

  That is the king and queen of the group of snakes.

  He was inevitably bitten by a group of snakes and covered in scales all over his body.

  Then, it was one episode after another of toxic eruption...

  Every time he had an attack of poisoning, he stared fixedly at the entrance of the cave.

  The cave entrance is too far away, at night, can't see a glimmer of light.

  At noon, the bright spot was no more than the size of a fingernail.

  Perhaps it was his body that was different from ordinary people, he wasn't killed by the venom of the snakes.

  To survive, he drank the blood of a group of snakes, swallowed the gallbladder of a venomous snake, and tore apart the flesh of the snakes...

  But he didn't expect that after the snakes decreased, more poisonous creatures crawled out of big and small holes!

  As a prince, he was poisoned many times.

  But he was born with wisdom and dodged countless assassinations.

  He doesn't trust anyone and since his mother left, he hasn't had deep feelings for anyone.

  He washed the imperial city and the streets of Kyoto with the blood of his elder brothers...

  He can be more ruthless than anyone else, colder and more merciless...

  But she just happened to pay all her trust and feelings to his little girl.

  But his little girl abandoned him...

  All the poison he had escaped from fell doubly upon him in that poisonous den.

  Make him despair, make him experience the taste of being worse off than dead...

  He couldn't climb up and could only trample on the poisonous substances to find another exit...

  A short period of over ten days feels like a lifetime.

  When he swam out of the dark river, he became the most poisonous substance in the entire poisonous cave.

  His blood flowed into the water, and a layer of fish appeared on the surface of the water...
