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 49 Entangled Bonds

Su Xian'er's eyes widened: Xiao Bai?

She still remembered that name clearly; it was the person Gu Liyan thought about in her dreams.

What exactly is the relationship between this woman and Gu Liyan?

"I...not yet." Gu Liyan pursed his lips and said. He didn't know why he was lying, nor did he know why he didn't dare to look Hua Yuxian in the eye.

He always felt that Hua Yuxian's visit this time was a threat to him.

Hearing Gu Liyan's words, Hua Yuxian pursed her lips and couldn't help but smile. Looking at Gu Liyan's tall and straight figure, she couldn't help but take a step forward and hug him tightly from behind.

Gu Liyan was startled. "What, what are you doing?!"

Hua Yuxian gritted her teeth, her gaze revealing an inappropriate tenderness, and softly said, "Gu Liyan, there are some things I wanted to say to you back in the Heavenly Palace..."

"What?" Gu Liyan frowned, not understanding.

"I love you! I, Hua Yuxian, love Gu Liyan! Xiao Bai can die for you, and so can I, Hua Yuxian! I wouldn't mind sharing you with Xiao Bai!" Hua Yuxian gritted her teeth and said, "Although it sounds absurd, I'm serious!"

Boom—

Su Xian'er, standing outside the door, trembled. Suddenly, she understood everything: Xiao Bai, whom Gu Liyan loved, had died for him! No wonder Gu Liyan couldn't forget her.

And this Hua Yuxian, she was actually willing to make sacrifices for Gu Liyan...

Compared to him, what am I? Besides being a burden to him, what can I give him?

Now it seems that I was just a substitute for Xiaobai!

What's this all about?

He wasn't being sincere at all!

Su Xian'er was momentarily stunned, then turned and left without hesitation...

Gu Liyan had already guessed this would happen when he was in the Heavenly Palace, but he did not expect Hua Yuxian to come directly to him, and he did not expect her to confess her feelings to him directly.

Turning around, looking at Hua Yuxian with eyes full of tenderness, she had really changed a lot. She was mature, steady, elegant and generous, and had an innate leadership aura. She was truly the flower goddess manager who attracted everyone's attention!

Even so, there was no other place in Gu Liyan's heart that could be given to her...

“Hua Yuxian, I admit that you have piqued my interest, but even though you and Xiao Bai look very alike, I still only like your sister Hua Baixian,” Gu Liyan said truthfully.

"She saved my life, she filled my heart, and that will never change!" Gu Liyan smiled slightly and said, "It's getting late, you should get some rest. If you go back, please give my regards to Yin Yang!"

After saying that, Gu Liyan turned and left.

Hua Yuxian stared blankly at Gu Liyan's retreating figure, "Why... what is it about me that I can't compare to her?"

She's already dead, why won't you even look at me?

Why……

—The entangled bonds have plunged each of us into suffocating pain, from which we cannot escape.
