Gu Liyan knelt on the ground, clutching his chest. His hands were warm, but his body was ice cold. Blood flowing from between his fingers instantly stained his white clothes red. Even though the rain could wash away the filth, it could not remove the bloodstains on his white clothes.

The cold rain intensified the pain. Gu Liyan endured the agony, gritting his teeth as he looked at An Qingling and asked, "You, why..."

"Heh, why? Why did I come here to beat you up? I only heard from Qianbai that you're very strong and can protect her, so I wanted to see you and test your strength. But what's disappointing is..." An Qingling shook her head with a disappointed expression and said sarcastically, "What's disappointing is that you couldn't even withstand a single move from a blind man like me! It seems you're not so great after all, and you're not worthy of our young lady at all!"

"You—Pfft…" Upon hearing An Qingling's mockery, Gu Liyan's blood rushed to his head, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood mist.

"Gu Liyan! Don't get agitated! This guy is just spouting nonsense, he's not as strong as you!" Mo Chen hurriedly advised from within the contract space.

Gu Liyan remained silent. He knew that his emotions were fluctuating greatly and he was full of flaws. He absolutely could not lose his composure.

Hearing Gu Liyan cough up blood, An Qingling's face twisted into a ferocious grin. She couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Haha, little brother, your strength is lacking, but your temper is certainly fierce! This blood even has a different smell than ordinary people! I just didn't expect to have misjudged you this time, and come all this way for nothing. I was waiting for you at the door to finish your cultivation, but I didn't expect you to be so weak! A mere fifth-level Astounding Cloud Realm cultivator is really nothing to brag about!"

Gu Liyan, panting heavily, gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger as he looked at An Qingling.

"However, I heard from the young lady that you are quite handsome and have a gentle personality towards girls. I suppose you are one of the best virgins, right? Since you are not worthy of the young lady, why not have sex with me! I, An Qingling, am practically a half-master of the Shadow Hall. Having sex with me would be a blessing for you! Of course, you can still keep the young lady company day and night. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds? Hahaha! I think the young lady will be very happy when she finds out!"

Gu Liyan's face grew increasingly gloomy upon hearing An Qingling's words. Just then, the wind around them suddenly weakened, and the rain began to fall.

A sharp, mournful sound, chillingly cold—

An Qingling seemed to have noticed the change, and frowned slightly.

At this moment, Gu Liyan took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and said in a voice as cold as frost: "So that's how it is. It's not that I was slow or that I didn't see it, but that I was intimidated by your spiritual pressure. However... even if you are stronger than me and what you say makes sense in your understanding, there is still one thing you are wrong about."

An Qingling raised her head and asked Gu Liyan, "Did I say something wrong? Heh, where did I say something wrong? Do you think someone as useless as you is worthy of the young lady? It's your good fortune to have you with me, what right do you have to object?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Liyan slowly raised his head. The dark sky was devoid of any light, and the rain was also hidden by the darkness. However, the sound of the rain calmed Gu Liyan down and made him more clear-headed.

He raised his hand to wipe the rain from his face, and a smile suddenly appeared on his stunningly beautiful face. "You're wrong! Utterly wrong!"

Gu Liyan's smile deepened, and he squinted at An Qingling's legs, unable to help but laugh, "You're not only blind, but also a useless cripple!"

Upon hearing this, An Qingling's face stiffened. She hadn't expected Gu Liyan to say that! She immediately flew into a rage and yelled, "You bastard! Say that again if you dare!"

Seeing her angry expression, which had completely eroded her composure, Gu Liyan couldn't help but laugh. He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth again and looked at An Qingling with a smile:

"Heh, as a cripple, not only do you lack any self-awareness, but you also come out to seduce married men. You're shameless! If you could get down and walk a few steps to prove you're not crippled, I might consider keeping you as a mistress! After all, serving tea and water is faster by walking!"

"Hahaha! Gu Liyan, you're amazing! Look how angry you've made this woman; even the wrinkles on her face have become more pronounced!" Mo Chen, in the contract space, couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing Gu Liyan's retort. "I knew I hadn't misjudged you! You're such a cunning fox!"

An Qingling clenched her fists and angrily said, "You, you bastard, you're asking for it—"

As soon as she finished speaking, she slammed her hand on the armrest of the wheelchair, and suddenly several sharp beams shot out from the wheelchair pedals, carrying killing intent as they flew towards Gu Liyan.

As the approaching sharpness grew ever closer, Gu Liyan stood rooted to the spot, neither dodging nor avoiding, only raising an eyebrow and letting out a soft groan.

In an instant, five needles, each half a foot long and stained with blood, pierced through Gu Liyan's back. The blood faded under the wash of the rain, leaving only their silvery sharpness...

Instantly, Gu Liyan's face turned pale, but he still stood in front of An Qingling, smiling at her with a madness and a hint of ferocity...

Upon seeing this, Mo Chen in the contract space couldn't help but exclaim, "Gu Liyan! Are you alright?"

Five nails pierced his chest, each one penetrating his entire chest, completely staining his white clothes with blood! It looked truly horrifying and unbearable to look at.

Gu Liyan lowered his head slightly, looking at the silver needle piercing his chest. Then, looking at An Qingling in front of him, he suddenly smiled and asked, "Blind man... guess how many of your nails hit me?"

An Qingling's eyelids twitched, and she subconsciously smelled the blood in the air. The strong smell of blood made her uneasy. "You, you didn't hide?"
