Since Gu Yixian treated her poisoning through vomiting, Gu Liyan has become obedient and no longer dares to hide anything from Gu Yixian.

That day, Gu Yixian did not go out to gather herbs, but instead took good care of Gu Liyan and gave him a "full body check-up".

Gu Yixian gently poked Gu Liyan's fair and delicate skin with her finger and asked, "Does it hurt here?"

"It doesn't hurt, but I feel a slight ache in my lower area..." Gu Liyan said truthfully.

"Here?" Gu Yixian subconsciously poked at the spot below.

"Ugh...it hurts!" Gu Liyan cried out in pain, squeezing out a tear.

Gu Yixian quickly withdrew her hand, "Sorry, sorry, I'll be gentler next time!"

Gu Liyan let out a long breath and said with a smile, "It's okay, this little bit of pain is nothing to me, you can continue."

Gu Yixian nodded and carefully probed Gu Liyan's other acupoints. When she reached his ribs, Gu Liyan's expression changed drastically. He suddenly curled up into a ball, trembling all over, and groaned, "Ah—"

Seeing Gu Liyan's pained expression, Gu Yixian quickly withdrew her hand. "Xiao Li, are you alright?"

Gu Liyan's forehead instantly broke out in fine beads of sweat, and his voice trembled slightly, "No, it's nothing..."

Gu Yixian helped Gu Liyan sit up, then took a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said with a worried expression, "Xiao Li, although the remaining toxins have not entered your bone marrow, I think they have left toxins in your internal organs."

Gu Liyan smiled and comforted her, "It's alright. With you, the immortal healer, taking care of me, I think I'll get better soon."

Gu Yixian chuckled softly, but suddenly her gaze fell upon a brand resembling a talisman on Gu Liyan's chest. Her expression immediately changed as she recalled the treatment she had given Gu Liyan over the past few days, using poison to fight poison and expel poison. She then spoke with a serious face:

"Xiao Li, tell me the truth, do you have any other hidden illnesses? Otherwise, why hasn't this method of fighting poison with poison been effective at all after so long!"

Gu Liyan frowned. If it were any other hidden ailment, the injury he sustained from Gu Yan should have been almost completely healed by now.

As for poisoning, it seems there isn't any...

Gu Liyan thought about the injuries she had sustained since meeting Hua Baixian, and still somewhat uncertainly said, "It seems... I don't think so..."

Gu Yixian sighed helplessly at Gu Liyan's ambiguous attitude and poked his head, "You really don't know anything about your own body. Luckily, you have a strong constitution, otherwise you would probably be long gone by now!"

Gu Liyan scratched his head awkwardly. "It's okay, I still have you, right? You'll take care of me, right?"

"What will you do if I'm not by your side one day?" Gu Yixian asked irritably upon hearing Gu Liyan's words.

Hearing Gu Yixian's words, Gu Liyan's heart tightened. He quickly sat up, turned around, and pulled Gu Yixian into his arms. His already pale face was now filled with helplessness and sorrow.

"Yiyi, please don't say that! I, Gu Liyan, have waited and waited, hoped and hoped, met you time and time again, but we were separated again and again. In this life, I have finally waited for you again. Please don't tell me you want to leave me again..."

Seeing Gu Liyan's worried expression, Gu Yixian smiled and hugged him to comfort him:

"What are you thinking? I was just saying 'what if'! Besides, I like you so much, how could I easily leave you? Moreover..." Gu Yixian blushed, "We have another connection now, don't we?"

Gu Yixian took Gu Liyan's hand and placed it on her stomach, looking shy. "Little Li, can you feel it? This bond from me..."

Gu Liyan could clearly feel the new life force quietly gestating within him! With a gentle smile, he pulled Gu Yixian into his arms, his face beaming with happiness, "Yiyi, I love you..."

Sensing Gu Liyan's reluctance to part, Gu Yixian smiled gently and patted his head, "Alright, how can you, as a fox demon, cry so easily!"

"I didn't cry!" Gu Liyan raised his head, his watery eyes completely betraying his words.

Gu Yixian looked at Gu Liyan and giggled, "Hehe, the way you lie is even cuter than when you're being mischievous!"

"I..." Before Gu Liyan could finish speaking, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door, but the voice was childish and mixed with a sad tone.

"Sister Yiyi, waaaaah...Sister Yiyi..."

Both of them heard the crying outside the door. Gu Yixian stood up and hurriedly ran to open the door.

Opening the door, Gu Yixian saw Xiaohu standing there crying sadly. She hurried over and asked worriedly, "Xiaohu? What happened? Why are you crying?"

Xiao Hu sobbed, wiped away his tears, and said, "Sister Yiyi, my dad is back, and he brought several very fierce-looking people with him..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yixian examined Xiaohu from head to toe, asking, "Did your father hit you? Are you injured anywhere?"

Xiao Hu shook his head and sobbed, "No, no, but, but Mom got hit, waaaah... I don't know why Daddy and Mom got into a fight, and, and hit Mom. Mom made me run here to hide for two days... waaaah..."

"What?" Gu Yixian's expression changed immediately, and she frowned deeply.

Upon hearing Xiao Hu's words, Gu Liyan put on his clothes and groped his way to the door, calling out, "Yiyi."

Hearing Gu Liyan call her name, Gu Yixian turned around and saw him coming out. She immediately rushed over to help him, saying, "Why did you come out? Come inside quickly, your injury hasn't healed yet!"
