The abyss, dark and cold.

The first glimpse of that abyss made me feel as if I was about to be swallowed up by it.

"...You guys said that the guys from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion said Mo Bai is down there, is that true? Are we really going down?" Gu Li asked, somewhat doubtful.

Looking at the bottomless abyss, Gu Yan was not sure. Regardless of whether what Tian Yi said was true or false, if it was true, that would be fine, but if he was deliberately deceiving them, wouldn't they fall into his trap?

Gu Liyan thought for a moment and said, "Why don't I go down and take a look by myself? I have a way to come back up."

"No!" Gu Yan and Hua Qingwu said at the same time.

"What if you can't get up here?" Gu Yan looked at Gu Liyan with a worried expression.

"Exactly! This is forbidden territory. We don't know what's down there. What if something happens to you?"

Gu Liyan was taken aback. Looking at the two of them, who were speaking in perfect harmony, he smiled and said, "If you two talk like that, I'll start to suspect that you two are my father and mother."

Hua Qingwu blushed and said, "You, you're blind, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Gu Yan scratched his head sheepishly, "Don't talk nonsense. Even if I like Qingwu, it doesn't necessarily mean she likes me!"

Hearing Gu Yan's words, Hua Qingwu stared at him with wide eyes, her face turning even redder.

Seeing their reaction, Gu Liyan, Gu Li, and Mo Chen couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Suddenly, Mo Chen realized something was wrong. Tian Qi hadn't come with them, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Wait a minute, didn't that shirtless guy come with us?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Qingwu exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no! Brother Tianqi must have run to tell Brother Tianxuan! If Brother Tianxuan finds out we've come to the forbidden area, he definitely won't let you off the hook!"

"What should we do then?" Gu Li exclaimed anxiously. "How about we leave?"

"Never mind, let's go down together! If we really can't get back up, we'll die together!" Gu Yan glanced at everyone, gritted his teeth, and spoke, but his gaze finally settled on Hua Qingwu. "Qingwu, your brother Tianxuan won't do anything to you. You don't need to risk your life with us..."

"I don't want to! If Brother Tianxuan finds out, he'll definitely tell the clan leader. If the clan leader comes back, I'll never be able to leave the Hua Manor!" Hua Qingwu pouted and said, "I'd rather stay there forever than live with you forever!"

Gu Yan stared blankly at Hua Qingwu, watching her face grow increasingly flushed. He grabbed Hua Qingwu's hand and asked earnestly, "Qingwu, are you telling the truth? You're willing to be with me, right?"

Hua Qingwu glanced at Gu Yan and nodded seriously.

Gu Yan smiled and asked, "Then, would you be willing to be my wife and Xiao Li's mother?"

Hua Qingwu blushed and buried her head in Gu Yan's arms, nodding gently once again.

Gu Yan was overjoyed. He took Hua Qingwu's hand, looked at her affectionately, and said, "Qingwu, I promise I will never let you down!"

"Mmm!" Hua Qingwu nodded and smiled sweetly.

Seeing them embrace each other happily, Gu Liyan felt both joy and bitterness.

The joy stemmed from the fact that her mother was the first Flower Goddess, but the bitterness came from the fact that all Flower Goddesses met tragic ends! Like her own little Bai…

"Oh no! They're here!" Gu Li suddenly saw Tian Qi leading Tian Xuan and a group of soldiers approaching from not far behind them, and hurriedly warned them.

Gu Yan looked at Hua Qingwu with some reluctance and asked, "Qingwu, are you really sure?"

Hua Qingwu nodded without hesitation, "Yes, Gu Yan, I've made up my mind! I'm going to follow you!"

"Okay!" Gu Yan pulled Hua Qingwu to the edge of the forbidden abyss, held her hand tightly and said, "Qingwu, no matter what dangers lie below, I will always be your support. You must hold my hand tightly!"

Hua Qingwu nodded, gripping Gu Yan's hand tightly. "Yes! I'm holding on tight!"

Gu Liyan nodded to Gu Yan and the others, and after they understood, they all jumped down together.

When Tianxuan and Tianqi arrived, they saw Hua Qingwu being pulled by Gu Yan and jumping into the abyss. They hurriedly shouted, "Qingwu!"

However, it was too late; Hua Qingwu had already jumped down with Gu Yan...

Tianxuan cursed under his breath, then turned to Tianqi and scolded, "How could you be so careless as to let Qingwu go with them alone? Did you see that? They actually took Qingwu and jumped into the abyss! Who gave them the guts!"

Apocalypse also spoke in disbelief, "I...I don't know, how could they...they really jump down..."

"A bunch of damned demons! If it weren't for them, Qingwu would never have gone with them!" Tianxuan cursed inwardly.

Looking at the dark abyss, Tianxuan coldly said, "Everyone keep a close eye on this place. If those demons dare to come out, kill them on the spot!"

"yes!"

Tianqi lowered his head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Tianxuan, it's all because I didn't think things through..."

Tianxuan said coldly, "If you really know you're wrong, then stay here and keep an eye on those demons to atone for your sins!"

After Tianxuan finished speaking, he turned and left...

On the other side, Gu Liyan and the others jumped into the dark abyss. In the pitch black, Hua Qingwu screamed in fright.

"Ahhh!"

Not long after hearing Hua Qingwu's voice, Gu Liyan heard Gu Yan's scream and immediately asked, "Father, what happened!"

"Qingwu, you pinched me so hard!" Gu Yan said with a pained expression.

Hua Qingwu loosened her grip slightly, but hurriedly asked, "I... I just heard Brother Tianxuan's voice. Could he be chasing after us too?"

Gu Li, standing to the side, spoke up, "Don't worry, he's such a rigid and pedantic person, he wouldn't dare come to the forbidden area!"
