Nine Lives, Nine Worlds of Tribulation

Memories are like ever-blooming stone flowers, yet only the self believes them to be eternal. Ultimately, what they bring is the ruthlessness of reincarnation; perhaps no one will wait this time.

Chapter 408 Waiting for the Flowers to Bloom

Gu Liyan stood there dumbfounded: What happened to my Xuanbing Domain?!

Oh, right!

Gu Liyan suddenly remembered that she only comprehended the Xuanbing Domain when she transformed into human form. Since she had not yet transformed into human form, she naturally did not have it!

Since that's the case, I can only try to understand it again when I come of age...

"Gu Liyan!"

Gu Liyan came back to her senses

"Stop being stubborn and come over here!"

After saying that, Yan Muxue pulled Gu Liyan into her arms and hugged him tightly. Feeling his icy temperature, Yan Muxue said irritably, "Your body is so cold, don't you feel anything?"

After speaking, she softened her tone and asked gently, "Is this... any warmer?"

Gu Liyan nodded and said, "Thank you, I'm not so cold anymore."

Yan Muxue pursed her lips, lowered her head, and said, "I'm the one who should say thank you, Gu Liyan, thank you!"

"Huh?" Gu Liyan turned to look at Yan Muxue in confusion. "You, thank me?"

"Yes! Thank you for coming here to gather herbs for me, and thank you for giving me your clothes despite your own safety..."

Gu Liyan turned her head, somewhat embarrassed, "It's all as it should be, after all, you're a guest of Thousand Absolute Mountain..."

Yan Muxue was deeply moved upon hearing this. Gu Yan had described her as a slave of Thousand Absolute Mountain, but in Gu Liyan's words, she was the most honored guest, the one who had been protected and cared for...

"Gu Liyan, I admit that I was prejudiced against you at first, which is why I was so harsh on you." Yan Muxue said shyly, "Can you...can you forgive me?"

Gu Liyan had his back to Yan Muxue and didn't see her blushing face. He smiled and said, "It's okay, I didn't mind."

Yan Muxue smiled slightly and blurted out, "Gu Liyan, you're so kind!"

Gu Liyan scratched his head sheepishly, and before he could say anything, he suddenly saw that the longevity grass had already bloomed and the light on the flower path had faded. He jumped down from Yan Muxue's arms with joy, "The flowers have bloomed! Wait for me, I'm going to gather herbs."

"Hey, you..." Yan Muxue pouted as she watched Gu Liyan leave in a hurry, all the emotions she had prepared vanished.

The words she was about to say to him, she feared she would never have the chance to say them again in this lifetime...

Before long, Gu Liyan returned from gathering herbs and happily announced, "I've gathered them all! It's too cold here, let's go outside!"

"Oh." Yan Muxue said coldly, glared at Gu Liyan, and then turned and left.

Seeing her attitude now, which was completely different from before, Gu Liyan scratched his head in confusion: What's wrong with this girl? Why is she being so hot and cold?

After bringing Yan Muxue back to the other side, Yan Muxue shoved Gu Liyan's clothes into his arms in an annoyed tone, saying, "Here are your clothes back!"

Gu Liyan gave Yan Muxue a strange look, then casually stuffed the longevity grass into her hand and said expressionlessly, "Here's your longevity grass."

After saying that, he ignored Yan Muxue's expression and walked to the side to put on his coat.

Yan Muxue glared at Gu Liyan with annoyance, and then angrily ate the longevity herb.

After Gu Liyan finished dressing, he turned around and was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. "You, what are you eating?"

"What else could it be? Immortality grass!" Yan Muxue chewed angrily, swallowing the last bite.

She glared at Gu Liyan and said, "Didn't you say that if I ate this, I wouldn't need to eat for seven days? I'm starving to death right now, so of course I'm using it to fill my stomach!"

Gu Liyan's lips twitched, and he said with a wry smile, "But there's never been a case of eating the Longevity Grass directly. Actually, you can just brew a pot of tea with the flowers of the Longevity Grass and drink it. Why, why did you swallow it raw?"

Upon hearing Gu Liyan's words, Yan Muxue's eyes widened, and she gagged in disgust. But the longevity grass had already been swallowed, so how could she vomit it up?

Yan Muxue pushed Gu Liyan with a mournful face, pointing at him and angrily scolding, "You damn fox! Why didn't you say so sooner! Are you trying to get me into trouble! Ugh... Waaah, what should I do? I can't throw up!"

Gu Liyan couldn't help but laugh, "You didn't ask me!"

Seeing that she couldn't vomit, Yan Muxue stomped her feet in anger, "Couldn't you have stopped me? What if I had been poisoned to death?! It's all your fault, you bastard!"

Gu Liyan suppressed a laugh, stroking his chin thoughtfully as he analyzed, "There shouldn't be any problems with the drug's effects, right? Maybe..."

At this point, Gu Liyan suddenly smiled wickedly and swayed his fox tail, saying, "It will also have special effects! It's possible to grow a tail just like mine, and if the probability is high, you can even have a genuine fox face!"

Yan Muxue turned pale with fright and punched Gu Liyan repeatedly, yelling, "It's all your fault! What if I become ugly? You stinking fox, you dead fox!"

"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, it hurts..." Gu Liyan hurriedly begged for mercy.

What are you doing?!

Upon hearing this rebuke, Gu Liyan and Gu Yan froze on the spot like mice before a cat. They turned to see Gu Yan walking towards them with a cold face.

“Master…” Gu Liyan stood up obediently, while Yan Muxue subconsciously shrank behind him, lowering her head and not daring to look at him.

Gu Yan looked at the two of them coldly and said, "In the middle of the night, instead of sleeping, you two are having a date here!"

"No, we came here to..." Before Yan Muxue could finish speaking, Gu Liyan hurriedly interrupted her:

"It's because my wound is hurting so badly that I can't sleep, so I asked Yan Muxue to come out with me."

Gu Yan glared at Gu Liyan and snorted coldly, "If it hurts, just bear it. Don't be so delicate, acting like a little girl..."

He turned to Yan Muxue and said coldly, "Coming out so casually at night, you have no manners at all!"
