Gu Liyan nodded to Gu Yixian, but as Gu Yixian was about to leave, he suddenly thought of the blurry figure in his dream, and a sense of fear arose from the bottom of his heart. He subconsciously grabbed Gu Yixian's hand, his voice trembling slightly, "Yiyi, you, you will always be by my side, right?"

Gu Yixian looked at Gu Liyan in surprise, then smiled and said, "Of course, you are my husband! If I don't accompany you, who will?"

Gu Yixian grasped Gu Liyan's hand and pressed it close to her cheek, speaking gently, "Xiao Li, don't worry. No matter what happens, I will be by your side. In the future, besides me, there will be our child, and we will both be with you."

Hearing Gu Yixian's words, Gu Liyan finally felt relieved and let go of her. "Okay, then, after I wake up, I'll take you somewhere. If I sleep for too long, remember to wake me up!"

Gu Yixian smiled and nodded. "Okay! I understand. Go to sleep now!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she watched as Gu Liyan closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep. Gu Yixian's expression changed slightly as she tucked the blanket in, took a deep breath, and walked out of the room.

Outside the door, Gu Changqiu and the others were all waiting at the entrance. Seeing Gu Yixian come out, they hurriedly went forward.

With a fierce and menacing look, Gu Changqiu brandished the stick in his hand and spoke menacingly:

"Yiyi, where's that fox demon? Has he woken up? Quick, let's go in and kill him before he recovers his strength! To prevent future trouble!"

Hearing Gu Changqiu's words, Gu Linlin sneered, "I knew there couldn't be such a handsome young man in this world. I never imagined his true form was a fox demon!"

Gu Yixian looked at Gu Linlin coldly without saying anything.

Seeing that Gu Yixian had no rebuttal, Gu Linlin spoke up again to mock her, "Little sister, we don't blame you for meeting the wrong person, but you can't possibly not tell the difference between a human and a demon, can you?"

Gu Changqiu finally couldn't hold back any longer. "Yiyi, drive that fox demon out!"

Gu Yixian's face was gloomy as she coldly looked at Gu Changqiu and said, "Although Xiao Li is a demon, he has never done anything to harm me, nor has he wronged you. Moreover, he is now my husband and the future master of the Gu family! You have no right to drive him away!"

Gu Changqiu's expression changed slightly, and he said with a gloomy face, "Yiyi, stop making trouble! How can you let a vixen into the Gu family? Even if the future of the Gu family is all women, I'm not dead yet, it's not your turn! Now, you must listen to me!"

"Hmph, do you think I, as the head of the Gu family, need your permission? I can easily go out and start my own household with Xiao Li. Don't forget, the 'key' is still in my hands!" Gu Yixian said coldly.

"You—" Gu Changqiu was speechless.

Upon hearing this, Gu Linlin immediately stepped forward with a fawning expression and said, "Little sister, don't be angry. You don't know enough about that mysterious fox spirit. It's only reasonable for Father to test him for you!"

Gu San Niang nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, Yi Yi, this time you should listen to your father!"

Gu Yixian coldly surveyed the crowd. "My eyes are not blind. I don't need you to point fingers at me or the people I like! Alright, put away your supernatural powers! It's getting late. I hope you've forgotten the scene of Xiao Li transforming into her true form just now, otherwise I won't hesitate to destroy what you want!"

Everyone's face darkened, but they were powerless to refute Gu Yixian. Helpless, they left one by one, led by Gu Linlin and Gu Changqiu.

Gu Yixian coldly watched the departing figures of the crowd, let out a long sigh, and took out the red pill from her bosom. Just now, while Gu Liyan was unconscious, she studied the effects of this pill and finally understood its medicinal properties.

"Will the treatment also take away his mind, causing him to go mad... Xiao Li, how can I save you...?"

——

In Gu Changqiu's room, the candlelight never went out, and he found it difficult to sleep.

"I just don't understand. Knowing full well that the pretty boy is a monster, why is Gu Yixian still so stubborn and insists on keeping this menace around?" Gu San Niang sat up angrily and complained.

Gu Changqiu remained silent and did not speak.

Gu San Niang immediately panicked, "Chang Qiu, can't you think of a way to get rid of that pretty boy? What if he goes crazy one day and kills us all? We won't even know how we died!"

Gu Changqiu sighed and remained silent while lying on the bed.

Finally, Gu San Niang couldn't hold back any longer and sat up, angrily pushing Gu Changqiu. "You spineless coward! Look at how your good daughter has bullied you! When her mother Qiu Ge was alive, you couldn't hold your head up. Now that Qiu Ge is dead, you're still being suppressed by her daughter. You're a complete waste!"

Gu Changqiu sat up abruptly, his face cold as he said, "I'll go into the city tomorrow and invite a sorcerer to perform a ritual. As long as that fox demon is secretly killed, everything will be fine! We can just say that the fox demon's lifespan is nearing its end, and Yiyi won't blame us!"

Gu San Niang's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, as long as that fox demon dies, Gu Yi Xian will definitely be heartbroken and hand over the key!"

"Alright, it's settled then! I'll go into the city tomorrow! Don't tell anyone else about this yet, including that girl Linlin. We'll make plans after we've got the key to the treasure vault!" Gu Changqiu said with a sinister expression.

"I know, I know!" Gu Sanniang couldn't help but say with a smile...

——

The next morning, Gu Liyan slowly woke up and felt someone holding his hand. Looking down, he saw Gu Yixian sleeping soundly by the bedside...

Gu Liyan withdrew his hand, slowly sat up, and smiled as he looked at Gu Yixian's adorable sleeping face. "Yiyi, I can finally be with you..."
