Green Embroidery, who was standing to the side, was captivated by Mo Han's domineering aura just now, and said with a shy expression, "Actually, I don't think he's too bad. In the end, he didn't kill the puppet, did he?"

Qingge turned her head and glared at Lüxiu. "You wouldn't happen to have a crush on him, would you?"

"No, no..." Green Embroidered face immediately turned red.

Lan Ying interrupted Lü Xiu and said, "Princess Qingge, I think we should recruit Mo Han instead? After all, he is very strong and should have a way to eliminate the dragon's resentment."

As soon as Lan Ying finished speaking, laughter came from outside the door: "Hahaha, she's right!"

Mo Han pushed open the door and walked in, looking at Qing Ge and saying, "If you're willing to say a few nice words, I might help you eliminate that Dragon's Wrath!"

"Mo Han!" Qingge suddenly stood up, pointed at Mo Han, and said angrily, "How dare you show your face in front of me!"

"Why wouldn't I dare? I am now nominally the sage you selected! Of course, you can depose me if you want, but if that happens... you'll probably never see Gu Liyan again!" Mo Han's lips curled up in a threatening tone.

“Gu Liyan will be back in a few days, and he will be able to help me eliminate the dragon’s resentment! As for you, you’d better be sensible and leave immediately!” Qingge said coldly.

"Haha, alright then, I'll wait for him to come back and see how he solves this for you!" Mo Han sneered. "Anyway, Long Yuan won't affect me, so I'm not in a hurry!"

Qingge was so angry she was practically fuming, but she didn't say a word in rebuttal.

Little did she know that the real Gu Liyan was right beside her, but because she hadn't investigated properly, she missed the chance to recognize him and watched him leave without trying to stop him.

If Gu Liyan could come back, unless...

Mo Han looked down at Qingzhi in his arms, her face beaming with a meaningful smile—

As the source of the dragon's resentment, Long Wei kept a close eye on the palace gates, constantly monitoring the people coming and going inside.

"Gu Liyan, I never expected you to end up in the palace again by some twist of fate! But if you come out this time, I will definitely not give you a chance to turn things around!" Long Wei stared coldly at the city gate.

Just then, she saw Mo Chen carrying Gu Liyan slowly walking out of the city gate, and her expression suddenly changed. "This, this guy, how could he possibly break my curse and turn into human form?"

Long Wei looked at Mo Chen with a puzzled expression, "Could it be that this guy helped him break the curse?"

After thinking for a moment, Long Wei decided to test Mo Chen. She leaped down from the pavilion and chased after Mo Chen and his companion.

Gu Liyan on his back had fallen into a deep sleep. Mo Chen tiptoed carefully through the alleys, away from the noisy streets.

However, what they didn't expect was that someone had already set their sights on them. Long Wei walked towards them, his target being the two of them.

Mo Chen stopped a distance away and watched as Long Wei walked towards him, greeting him with a smile, "Beautiful lady, what's up?"

Long Wei's lips curled up slightly as she pointed at Gu Liyan, who was on Mo Chen's back, and said, "I'm not looking for you. I want the person on your back. As long as you hand him over to me, I'll let you go. Otherwise... you'll die here!"

Mo Chen blinked and couldn't help but smile. "Beautiful lady, isn't it a bit too outrageous of you to forcibly abduct a man in broad daylight, under the clear sky? Besides, this man is no ordinary person and is still unconscious. Taking advantage of him in his vulnerable state is a bit inappropriate, isn't it?"

"Hmph, enough nonsense, hand the person over to me!" With that, Long Wei's hand transformed into a sharp dragon claw, stabbing towards Mo Chen.

Seeing the sharp claws coming towards him, Mo Chen moved with lightning speed, easily dodging them, and immediately created distance between them.

Looking at Long Wei's menacing expression, Mo Chen's face showed lingering fear. "Beautiful lady, isn't your scratching weapon a bit too lethal? I'm not afraid of getting hurt, I'm fast enough to dodge it, but what if you accidentally hurt your own face and get disfigured?"

"If I'm going to break anything, I can only break your appearance!" Long Wei shouted angrily, "Take this!" and stretched out her dragon claws to grab Mo Chen again.

Mo Chen dodged the attack with a relaxed smile, looking at Long Wei with a grin and teasing, "I said, carrying someone on my back is quite heavy, why don't you let me put him down and we can fight again?"

"Damn it!" Long Wei cursed angrily at his relaxed expression. "If you're so capable, then don't hide!"

Mo Chen dodged again in a flash, creating some distance and chuckling, "If I hadn't dodged, wouldn't you have killed the puppet I was carrying? I can see that you weren't hitting me, you clearly wanted to kill the puppet I was carrying!"

puppet?

Hearing his words, Long Wei stopped attacking and looked at Gu Liyan on Mo Chen's back with a puzzled expression. "You mean he's not Gu Liyan?"

"Who told you he was Gu Liyan?" Mo Chen looked at Long Wei strangely.

"This is a puppet left behind by Gu Liyan. Recently, it's been acting very weak for some reason. I was just about to go to Gu Liyan to ask what's wrong when I ran into you as soon as I left the city!" Mo Chen explained carefully.

Long Wei looked at the unconscious Gu Liyan and asked, "Is it really not him?"

Mo Chen looked at Long Wei and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "What? Could it be that Gu Liyan betrayed you? That guy... he's had quite a few women, like Hua Baixian, An Qianbai, Su Xian'er, and..."

"Alright, alright, why are you so long-winded? Talking to you is a waste of my time!" Long Wei pouted and turned to leave.

"Hey beautiful, you're leaving already? Can we exchange contact information? You can even leave a communication talisman!" Mo Chen called out to Long Wei's retreating figure, but Long Wei left without turning her head.

After Long Wei's figure disappeared from sight, Mo Chen curled his lips, glanced at Gu Liyan who was lying unconscious on his back, and said irritably, "For you, I've almost run out of lies in my life!"
