Suddenly, An Qianbai stopped talking abruptly. Her pupils contracted slightly, and she subconsciously released Gu Liyan. Gu Liyan's body went limp and he fell to the ground.

An Qianbai, like a startled rabbit, suddenly stood up and stared at Gu Liyan in disbelief. Gu Liyan, whose clothes were disheveled from her rough behavior, had a deep wound that exposed bone, with flesh turned outwards...

What puzzled An Qianbai even more was that Gu Liyan's aura was barely perceptible. What puzzled An Qianbai even more was that Gu Liyan's internal organs still contained a large amount of poison from the death energy in her body!

An Qianbai stared blankly at Gu Liyan, "How... how could this be? How could this be?"

An Qianbai's hands trembled uncontrollably. She had thought that Gu Liyan wouldn't be afraid of the poison in her body, but why was he still affected?!

"Could it be that he had chest tightness because of this?"

An Qianbai thought that Gu Liyan was just pretending to be weak to gain her sympathy! Who knew that Gu Liyan had actually been poisoned by his own body!

An Qianbai looked at her hands and cried out, "Why? Why did I end up hurting the person I love?! Why!"

"Love him? When have you ever loved him? Xiao Li has sacrificed so much for us, but after you woke up, you doubted and resented him, and even planned to imprison him for life! This is not love!"

Just then, a voice suddenly appeared in An Qianbai's mind.

An Qianbai's face turned pale. "Shut up! Now is the time for me to take control of my body!"

"When faced with others' ridicule, when kicked out of my home, when stoned bloody by those ignorant people, I survived time and time again by gritting my teeth and fighting for my life! My life, my world, doesn't need your hypocritical and filthy soul!"

"Shut up! An Qianbai! You are also a part of me! What's yours is mine, I did nothing wrong!" An Qianbai shouted like a madman.

"Haha, that's hilarious! After being awakened by Father, you not only took over my body, but also ruined my beloved like this. You're the one who should shut up!"

An Qianbai looked frantic. "Shut up! I'm the one helping you keep him by your side! Do you think Father will let him live after his identity is exposed? If I hadn't suggested making him our contracted beast, he would have been tortured to the point of wishing he were dead! And you've seen it! This is just the beginning!"

"What Xiao Li wants is freedom, not shackles! You don't understand him at all. He'd rather die here right now than be in those shackles!" The voice in his mind softened. "I'm already prepared to go to the underworld with him. If he dies, I won't live alone. I'll drag you down to hell with us!"

An Qianbai trembled violently. "Madmen! You're all madmen! I'm doing this for our own good! Why won't you accept me!"

"You're only doing this for yourself. I know everything you've thought and done in the consciousness space. You want to become the Holy Maiden and take revenge on everyone in the Shadow Hall, even Father! But Gu Liyan stopped you and injured Wang Xian, so you lost your chance. Therefore, you want to take revenge on Gu Liyan and make him your slave forever! Am I right, Mother?"

An Qianbai's face twisted in anger. "You were the ones who were awakened, so why are you all rebelling against me!"

"Your true heart has long been blinded by hatred. You say you love your father? That's utterly ridiculous! If you truly loved him, why would I have been born with that aura? You just want to climb higher and take revenge on everyone!"

An Qianbai cowered in the corner, terrified. "No! No, that's not it!"

The voice in my mind said resolutely, "I'll say it one last time, leave my body! You are already dead, there's no need for you to occupy my body any longer! Otherwise, I will burn my soul to ashes, taking the seed with me..."
