“No!” 

Wei Wuxian shouted as he grabbed Lan Wangji’s body to prevent him from sliding down the dirt road and put his hand over the wound to try to heal him, although he knew that his power was not going to work.

“It’s no use. I used the Angel’s blade to kill him.” 

Wei Wuxian swung his head to face the familiar face of the man whom Lan Wangji trusted as his advisor – but he was actually the one that they were looking for before and did not recognize before he remembered everything.

“You! Why did you do this?” 

“Because I hate Angels, Wei Wuxian. You should have too, after all they’re your enemy.” The cold voice devoid of emotion was so unfamiliar to Wei Wuxian, after all he had always known him as the warm hearted, if not clumsy, Duncan. The one that he himself brought into their life because he wanted to help the man after he lost everything.

“Were you the one who kidnapped all the missing angels back then?”

They had their suspicions and even went as far as looking for him, but he disappeared just like smoke. It made Wei Wuxian wonder how Duncan was able to follow him here.

“Yes. I hate those Angels. They took my wife and my child because they were not pure blood. No. They took them because I was weak! If I was as strong as you, I would not let them take my family and reduce my existence to a mere… whatever I am now.” 

Duncan’s eyes looked so empty as he looked at the bleeding Lan Wangji, but Wei Wuxian was so heartbroken, the only thing on his mind right now was how to save the love of his life, instead of doing something to Duncan.

Then he remembered it. 

The necklace that Xie Lian gave him in case he needed him urgently.

Wei Wuxian took out the necklace and smashed it on the stone, and not a minute later, Xie Lian appeared.

“Xie Lian, help him, please!” Wei Wuxian was sobbing and there was blood all over him from Lan Wangji’s wound.

Xie Lian took a glance at the unconscious and bleeding Lan Wangji, and then to Duncan. Then he took out a red vial from his pocket and gave it to Wei Wuxian.

“He was stabbed by the Angel’s blade, and you know I can do nothing about that. This will at least help him with the pain.”

Even Wei Wuxian knew the fatal effect of the Angel’s blade against demons and especially angels themselves. It was a stroke of luck that Lan Wangji had lost his angel’s grace, but he was still an immortal and by extension, a supernatural being.

“Is there nothing else that we can do?” Wei Wuxian sobbed and Xie Lian was torn. He loved his brother dearly, and he didn’t want him to suffer.

But, Lan Wangji was an angel, and they were called Angel Devourers not because they were friends with them.

But then again…

“Xianxian… have you tried to give him your dragon? You both will share your power and lifespan if you have done so. But it was supposed to be done before he was stabbed by the Angel’s blade.”

“I… I was just about to give him my dragon, Xie Lian…” Wei Wuxian regretted his slowness, his indecisiveness, his stubbornness. If only he gave him his dragon when he gave him his heart blood, then this would not happen.

Xie Lian only sighed.

Love really could turn a smart man stupid, and he swore he would not want to fall in love with anyone, ever.
