Verdant mountains, babbling brooks, fluttering butterflies amidst blooming flowers, and a refreshing fragrance permeate the air. In this world of flowers, a petal drifts down and lands in the center of the spring, creating ripples.

A colorful butterfly landed on the white, fluffy ear. Suddenly, the white ear twitched slightly, as if sensing danger, and the butterfly flew away in panic...

Gu Liyan slowly opened his purple eyes and felt a pain coming from his abdomen, causing him to gasp in shock.

"Ouch... That hurts! I must not be dead if it hurts this much!" Gu Liyan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like she had survived a close call.

"Let him bully the weak, I won't tell him the correct way to use the artifact, let's see what he can do to me!" He said with a miserable laugh.

Gu Changyuan could never have imagined that the artifact could only be activated by two people together, otherwise it would go out of control.

Thinking of Gu Changyuan's exasperated appearance, Gu Liyan couldn't help but find it amusing...

However, I'm afraid that if they meet again, they will become true mortal enemies!

Gu Liyan sighed, his heart heavy. He looked up and was slightly startled to see that the sky he saw had a different color from the world he knew!

The clouds in the sky were like seven-colored clouds, and the flowing water formed a beautiful landscape. Countless palace buildings were connected and floated in the air, forming a magnificent spectacle.

Gu Liyan's pupils contracted, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "Sky City! Could it be that this...this is the Heavenly Palace?!"

Ancient books record that in the celestial realm beneath the heavens, there is a lineage of celestial beings who reside in a place called the "Celestial Palace"!

This is the Heavenly Palace, so why is he here?!

Before Gu Liyan could figure out what was going on, he saw a delicate and lovely girl in a pink dress walking towards him from the flower bushes not far away, carrying a flower basket.

The expression that had been displeased suddenly changed when he looked in Gu Liyan's direction. His face immediately lit up with a smile, and he ran straight towards Gu Liyan, picking him up with a joyful look. "Wow—what an adorable little fox!"

"Cute?!" Before Gu Liyan could refute the mocking words, he suddenly felt his entire body suspended in mid-air. Only then did he realize that he had been forced back to his original form, and at this moment, his true form was only the size of a newborn fox, and he had even lost all his cultivation!

Gu Liyan panicked and even forgot to struggle in the hands of the little flower fairy.

"Ah! You're injured!" The little fairy exclaimed worriedly when she saw Gu Liyan's abdomen covered in blood. "He needs immediate treatment!"

Before Gu Liyan could resist, she placed him directly in the flower basket, gently stroking his soft fox fur and saying, "Don't worry, I have a magic medicine made from a hundred flowers. You'll get better right away after you take it!"

Looking into her sincere eyes, Gu Liyan simply accepted the favor and obediently played the role of the weaker party, rubbing his hand against her palm as a gesture of goodwill.

The little flower fairy almost jumped for joy, "Are you being coquettish? You're even more charming than those flower fairies!"

Gu Liyan was speechless. He was a pure-blooded nine-tailed fox who had cultivated for a thousand years. How could he be compared to that short-lived flower fairy?

Besides, this isn't being coquettish at all! It's just acknowledging and showing gratitude! He wouldn't stoop to such coquettish behavior!

The little fairy didn't notice Gu Liyan's eye roll and happily stroked his head gently. Gu Liyan simply ignored her, pretending to be a dead body lying motionless in the flower basket, dozing off.

Seeing him almost asleep, the little fairy smiled again, "You're so cute!"

Gu Liyan rolled her eyes. "If you say I'm cute again, I'll scratch you!"

Hua Baixian took Gu Liyan directly back to her boudoir, where the room was surrounded by flowers, making one feel refreshed.

In this environment, Gu Liyan discovered a warm current within his body helping him recover his magical power, suggesting that these flowers and plants possessed a powerful life force. Consequently, his wariness towards Hua Baixian, who had brought him here, lessened considerably.

She placed Gu Liyan on the bed, and just as he was about to get up, she slapped him back down. "Don't move, I'm going to treat you!"

Gu Liyan was in so much pain that she almost cried. This wasn't healing; it was torture!

Seeing Hua Baixian's earnest and serious attitude warmed Gu Liyan's heart. He hadn't had any contact with outsiders for three hundred years...

Then, Hua Baixian took out colorful bottles from the cabinet and muttered to herself with a blank look on her face, "Which bottle did my sister use when she was injured last time?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Liyan broke out in a cold sweat: "If you can't treat patients, don't bring them back so easily, okay?!"

"Never mind, these elixirs are all the essence of flowers anyway, no matter how many you eat, they won't kill the fox!" Hua Baixian walked over carrying all the bottles and jars, smiling at Gu Liyan. "Little fox, be a good boy and listen to me, you'll be fine after you eat all these elixirs!"

"Wh-what?" Gu Liyan was shocked. Did this girl really want him to eat so much?!

All of them?!

Seeing Hua Baixian getting closer and closer, Gu Liyan hurriedly retreated, only to find himself in a corner...

After consuming numerous unknown elixirs, in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Gu Liyan's eyes were glazed over, and he felt a heavy head, as if he were drunk. He lay on the bed looking so weak that he was almost foaming at the mouth!

Seeing this, Hua Baixian became a little anxious and poked his head with her finger. "Hey, little fox, are you alright?"

Gu Liyan glanced at her, intending to rub her hand to show he was alright, but a surge of energy rushed into his eyes, causing his small fox body to tremble uncontrollably, and he tightly closed his eyes.
