The situation in front of him has already exceeded Igarashi's control.

He initially thought that his meticulous planning over the years had achieved complete success.

Soon, Akiyama Tsuki would be resurrected and return to this world.

By then, even if his own life came to an end, it would be worth it.

But the current result tells him that everything is not as simple as he imagined.

The Corpse Nurturing Pill he just fed Akiyama Tsuki is not some resurrection Divine Medicine...

Currently, this Corpse Nurturing Pill is continually transforming Akiyama Tsuki's body, and Igarashi can hardly imagine what kind of monster the woman he deeply loves will become when the effects wear off...

"You clearly told me that within this Underground Palace Tomb, there is medicine that can bring you back to life. Why is it like this..."

All information about this Underground Palace Tomb was heard by Igarashi from Akiyama Tsuki.

That night, she was covered in blood, lying in his arms, telling him not to grieve for her and saying that she will not die.

If he could open the Underground Palace Tomb and retrieve a resurrection Divine Medicine from within, then the two of them could continue to be together.

She gave him hope, stopping him from taking his own life to join her years ago.

Yet after years of struggle, this hope brought him this kind of result...

"Why! Why did you lie to me!"

Perhaps, Akiyama Tsuki was deceiving him from the beginning; she never thought she could come back to life. It was all just to fabricate a lie to keep him alive.

Igarashi looked at the woman with beautiful eyes closed in the air and couldn't help but roar!

The roar was extremely sorrowful, echoing back and forth in the great hall!

But alas, Akiyama Tsuki never responded.

She still floated in mid-air with her eyes tightly shut.

"..."

Xu Fan was watching from the side, feeling somewhat touched.

He could understand Igarashi's feelings at the moment.

This guy's motivation to live was for revenge and to bring Akiyama Tsuki back to life, but now all is ruined by his own hand, and right now, his heart must be in turmoil.

Having basically recovered, Xu Fan exhaled a mouthful of impure air and got up from the ground.

Carrying Asao Mai on his back, he walked toward Igarashi.

Suffering such a huge blow, Igarashi was sitting lifelessly on the ground, not moving at all.

In this state, Xu Fan could probably kill him right now, and he wouldn't retaliate.

He has no desire to keep living at all now, does he?

"So, speaking carelessly is fine, but medicine shouldn't be taken recklessly."

Thinking of making him feel a bit better, Xu Fan muttered a sentence, but alas, Igarashi wasn't too amused by Xu Fan's joke.

He didn't even lift his eyelids.

"You won, kill me..."

After a while, Igarashi, sitting on the ground, finally spoke.

No matter how much he schemed, in the end, Akiyama Tsuki still couldn't be brought back to life, and Igarashi felt he was the ultimate loser.

He no longer wanted to move, just hoping Xu Fan would end him so he wouldn't have to live in pain any longer.

"..."

If earlier this guy had asked him to kill him, Xu Fan wouldn't have even considered it.

Now, with such a pitiful person, Xu Fan really couldn't do it.

Igarashi wasn't truly a bad person; at most, he was just an infatuated soul.

His years of effort had turned to nothing, and Xu Fan didn't want to cruelly finish him off now that he's been hit so hard.

"If you want to die, do it yourself. I don't have time for this."

Glancing at Igarashi, Xu Fan leapt and seized the Seven Treasures Relic hovering in the air.

"Damn it! You're serious!"

Before Xu Fan could closely examine the Seven Treasures Relic in his hand, Igarashi raised a hand, intending to end his life!

Xu Fan saw it and quickly reached out to block him.

"You won't kill me, fine, but why stop me?"

Stopped from ending his life, Igarashi glared at Xu Fan without reservation.

What a bad temper this guy has...

Being glared at by Igarashi, Xu Fan was speechless.

He pursed his lips and said, "In my opinion, you didn't love Akiyama Tsuki that much."

"Say that again!"

A casual sentence made Igarashi explode like a dynamite stick.

With eyes red as fire, he glared at Xu Fan, almost about to kill!

In this world, aside from himself, no one dared claim to love this woman more!

"Hehe, Igarashi, you're such a smart guy, but you also make foolish mistakes."

Utterly unafraid of Igarashi, Xu Fan looked at him and sneered coldly.

"Who told you that after taking the Corpse Nurturing Pill, there's no hope?"

"What if? What if there's still a ray of hope for her to come back to life? Have you ever considered?"

"If you end your life now, fine, do you think anyone else will care about her fate then?"

"What do you mean?"

These questions from Xu Fan brought Igarashi to his senses.

He looked seriously at Xu Fan and asked, "Do you know what the Corpse Nurturing Pill is?"

"Of course I don't know."

"You!"

Looking at Xu Fan with expectancy and getting such an answer, Igarashi nearly acted on impulse!

Seeing his rashness, Xu Fan pursed his lips.

"Can you keep your cool?"

"I don't know, but it doesn't mean others don't."

The Corpse Nurturing Pill has attracted the attention of the Heavenly Witch Sect, clearly related to Corpse Refinement.

Specific information might be something he can find later on.

Whether or not Akiyama Tsuki can be resurrected, Xu Fan doesn't know, but there's always a glimmer of hope, right?

Having been dealing with this guy over the days, honestly, he's quite a talent.

For him to die like this would be such a pity.

Xu Fan had an idea and squinted, saying, "From today onward, you'll be my underling, and I'll help you find a way to save her. How about that?"

"Hehe."

Faced with Xu Fan's offer, Igarashi coldly laughed without reservation.

His arrogant demeanor showed clear reluctance.

"Forget it if you don't want to."

Xu Fan rolled his eyes, took the Seven Treasures Relic, and turned to leave.

Walking out carrying Asao Mai, Xu Fan began silently counting in his head.

Right around counting to ten, he heard Igarashi's voice from behind.

"Wait."

Hearing Igarashi's voice, Xu Fan turned around.

His calm demeanor made Igarashi burst into laughter.

"Don't think I don't know your little tricks."

Having dealt quite a bit with Xu Fan, Igarashi clearly understood that this guy was using reverse psychology on him.

He looked seriously at Xu Fan and said, "Working for you, no problem."

"But don't you forget what you just said."
