The masked man suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze widening in shock.

"How...how is this possible? That girl...she actually is..."

Just as the masked man was in shock, Lin Ruixin, far away at the Gu family home, seemed to have sensed something...

Looking up at the sky, seeing its gray hue, her youthful, pretty face couldn't help but smile. "Oh dear, how interesting! I never imagined there would be an ancient, primordial soul on the other side who could glimpse my past... How fascinating!"

At that moment, Gu Yixian pushed open the door and came out of the room. Seeing Lin Ruixin smiling as she looked at the scenery, she went up to her and asked, "Xinxin? What are you looking at?"

"Flower Goddess!" Lin Ruixin turned around excitedly to greet Gu Yixian, asking adorably, "Flower Goddess, what are we having for lunch?"

"Then let's see what Ruixin likes to eat the most!" Gu Yixian smiled and patted Lin Ruixin's head. She really loved Ruixin when she was dressed as a girl again!

For a moment, I really hoped that I was having a girl, preferably a beautiful and cute girl like Ruixin!

"Anything is fine, as long as it's made by you, I promise I'll eat it all!" Lin Ruixin said with a smile.

Gu Liyan, who had just stepped out of the room, couldn't help but shudder upon hearing this. He knew Gu Yixian's cooking skills better than anyone! She was definitely a level ten master chef in the dark arts!

She immediately stepped forward and said, "Rui Xin, your sister Yi Yi is making medicinal cuisine for me today, so she won't have time to cook for you. I'll ask the cook to make some for you!"

Lin Ruixin blinked, seeing the expression on Gu Liyan's face that he was giving her, and immediately understood what he meant. However, Lin Ruixin narrowed her eyes and directly rejected his kindness, saying coquettishly, "No, no, I'll be very sad if I can't eat the delicious food that big brother can eat!"

Gu Liyan couldn't help but twitch his lips a few times: "This child... is hopeless!"

Lin Ruixin couldn't help but giggle, and immediately sent a telepathic message to Gu Liyan, "Big brother, have you forgotten? I'm a soul, I don't have a sense of taste!"

Gu Liyan was taken aback. That's right! Because he hadn't seen Rui Xin for so long, he had almost forgotten that she wasn't "human"!

However, neither of them spoke directly to Gu Yixian. Instead, Lin Ruixin looked at Gu Yixian with a pitiful expression, using all her charm and cuteness to say:

"Actually, Ruixin has never eaten human food before; she's just curious and wants to try it! I don't trust other people!"

Then, Lin Ruixin looked at Gu Yixian with longing and said, "Sister Yiyi, I really hope you can cook for me today!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yixian's eyes immediately shone with maternal warmth as she looked at Lin Ruixin, nodding without hesitation, "Of course, no problem! My cooking skills are absolutely top-notch! Wait here, I'll make it for you right away!"

After saying that, Gu Yixian happily ran towards the kitchen, completely ignoring Gu Liyan's suspicious gaze.

Seeing Gu Yixian run away, Lin Ruixin couldn't help but laugh, "It seems you still don't understand her well enough, big brother! It looks like the Flower Goddess prefers cooking to medicinal cuisine!"

Gu Liyan sighed and shook his head. "She just likes to do things for people she likes, there's no other reason! But, Rui Xin really thanks you."

Lin Ruixin's request was, of course, intentional! By having Gu Yixian cook, Gu Liyan was spared the pain of taking medicinal food—

Hearing Gu Liyan's words, Lin Ruixin smiled and turned around to stand in front of him, wrapping her arms around his neck and clinging to him. "Big brother, I'm not just helping you, I'm helping myself too!"

Gu Liyan looked at Lin Ruixin with suspicion, sensing that something was off about her. However, his Soul-Painting Eyes couldn't fathom what Ruixin was thinking, so he could only ask, "Ruixin, can you tell me your true purpose in coming to this world?"

Upon hearing Gu Liyan's words, a sharp glint flashed in Lin Ruixin's eyes, but she quickly concealed it. She then nestled close to Gu Liyan, her face filled with adoration, and spoke:

"Big brother, don't you know? Ruixin came all this way just for you!"

Gu Liyan frowned. "For me? You..."

Before Gu Liyan could finish speaking, Lin Ruixin interrupted him, "Big brother, Ruixin has done you a huge favor! Aren't you going to give me any reward?"

Seeing Lin Ruixin's slightly narrowed eyes, Gu Liyan subconsciously took a step back. For some reason, a sense of fear suddenly rose in his heart, but it vanished...

Seeing that Gu Liyan seemed to be rejecting her, Lin Ruixin smiled even more and moved closer to him, saying, "Big brother, you have to give Ruixin a reward!"

Gu Liyan couldn't avoid Lin Ruixin, so he had no choice but to say, "Ruixin, my strength has greatly diminished. Not only can I not protect Yiyi, but I also can't help you with anything, and I'm afraid I can't give you anything..."

At this point, Lin Ruixin suddenly raised her hand to cover Gu Liyan's mouth, smiled gently, and said, "If you have anything, big brother, would you be willing to give it to Ruixin?"

Gu Liyan looked at Lin Ruixin with a strange expression, removed her hand, and asked, "I have it? If something I have is useful to you... then you can take it!"

Lin Ruixin's eyes suddenly lit up, and she couldn't help but smile. "Then, I won't be polite!"

As she spoke, she hooked her arm around Gu Liyan's neck and pressed her lips directly to his.

Gu Liyan stared in astonishment at Lin Ruixin, who was so close to him. Before he could even resist, he felt his soul power being taken away by Lin Ruixin, and his already weak body became even weaker...
