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 495 Paying the Price

"That's right! If we don't start now, we're leaving!" The group of people who came with the man said in unison.

Gu Liyan smiled and looked at them. "You are welcome to come and go as you please. My senior brother and I have no right to interfere with your freedom. As for the dishes not being cold yet and not all the guests having arrived, I think it would be better to wait."

Gu Liyan looked at Wang Qi, who was grinning mischievously in his arms, at a loss for what to do, and said angrily, "You did this on purpose!"

Wang Qi's lips curled up. "What do you mean, 'on purpose'? I don't understand what you're saying. Oh, right, Xiao Li, I also brought you a gift! Look over there..."
