Gu Tao led Xiao Ying in search of Gu Li Yan's whereabouts, but they were attracted by the nearby amusement park. The two held hands and went into the amusement park to play all day. It wasn't until dark that they came out of the amusement park, exhausted.

"This place is so much fun! I didn't have time to play last time!" Sakura said with lingering excitement. "Brother Momo, thank you for taking me out to play. Nobody wanted to play with me when we were up the mountain."

Gu Tao chuckled and said, "You don't need to thank me. Actually, I've never had any playmates my own age. We must be what the adults call childhood sweethearts, right?"

Sakura nodded. "Yes, yes, childhood friends! We'll be childhood friends for life!"

Hearing Sakura's words, Koto blushed slightly as she touched her nose.

"Oh no, we were so busy having fun that we forgot to look for your parents!" Sakura said apologetically. "I'm so sorry, Momo-nii-san, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."

Gu Tao shook her head and said, "It's okay. I know my parents. As long as they are together, no difficulty can break them."

Sakura glanced at the time and said hesitantly, "So, should we continue searching today? I'm a little hungry..."

"We've been out all day and we must be tired. Let's go back and get something to eat and then rest," Xiao Tao said.

The two left the amusement park, unaware that someone was watching them from behind...

Li Hao, who had been staying at home all day, couldn't sit still any longer. He went outside and stood in front of Gu Liyan. "Shall we play Dou Dizhu together?"

Gu Liyan was carefully trimming the weeds in the yard when she glanced at Li Hao and asked, "How can the two of us play?"

“And what about your wife?” Li Hao said.

"I don't have time!" Hua Baixian, who had overheard their conversation from a distance, said irritably, "Don't you even look at your yard? The flowers and plants are almost withered. There's so much work to be done!"

Li Hao stared wide-eyed and said, "Why bother with them now? They're not that important."

"Flowers, plants, and trees are gifts from nature. They decorate so much beauty and produce so much oxygen! How can you say they're unimportant?" Hua Baixian retorted angrily. "Now the city is emitting so much garbage, and the air quality is so bad. Don't you even think about why?"

Li Hao was so intimidated by Hua Baixian's imposing manner that he couldn't speak. He hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I was wrong, big sister. Do whatever you like, make it beautiful!"

Hua Baixian snorted irritably and ignored her, continuing to plant the flowers and plants under her care.

Gu Liyan couldn't help but laugh. As the Flower Goddess, Hua Baixian naturally loved flowers and plants, so she would be angry to be told that by Li Hao.

Li Hao approached Gu Liyan and whispered, "Your wife is really a lovesick fool! Look at her lovesick face, oh my god! It's terrifying!"

"What's so scary about it? Her love for flowers, bordering on obsession, just proves she has a girlish heart. You're still young and don't understand girls!" Gu Liyan said with a smile.

Li Hao pouted and said, "Yes, yes, I'm young, you guys are all experienced! I'm going to watch TV!"

Gu Liyan smiled slightly and said nothing. He cleared the weeds from his hands, checked the time, and prepared to remind Hua Baixian to cook. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a ghost standing there, looking at him.

Gu Liyan stared at him blankly, and was about to speak when Hua Baixian called out to him from behind, "Little Li, it's getting dark, shall we cook first?"

Gu Liyan turned his head and nodded, "Okay, you go cook first, I'll clean up here."

Hua Baixian nodded, "Okay, don't work too hard!"

After saying that, Hua Baixian went into the house.

"Don't worry!" Gu Liyan said, picking up a broom and walking towards the illusory soul.

With no one around, Gu Liyan frowned and whispered to Xu Hun, "Why are you here again? Hurry up and leave! I won't be able to explain if Xiao Bai and Li Hao find out!"

The illusory soul spoke, "They can't see me. No one in this world can see me except you."

Gu Liyan said irritably, "Then tell me, what do you want from me this time?"

"For the safety of this spacetime, you need to accept a mission," the illusory soul said.

"I'm not answering!" Gu Liyan said irritably. "How many times have I told you, I'm not capable of protecting anyone else right now. I myself said I'm like a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river, barely able to save myself!"

"This mission concerns the safety of this spacetime, and also the safety of you and Hua Baixian, and I can only ask you for help now..."

Before Xu Hun could finish speaking, Gu Liyan interrupted him, saying, "That's enough, you don't need to continue! Can you let me be a little selfish in this life?"

Looking at Gu Liyan's serious expression, Xu Hun sighed helplessly and said, "All you want is to be with Hua Baixian, but have you ever thought about it? Once the God of Cholera has his eye on you, who can truly escape?"

Gu Liyan's expression changed. "You mean the God of Cholera?"

"Yes, speaking of which, he's still your old rival." Xu Hun nodded and said, "Shangguan Honghuo!"

Gu Liyan was stunned for a moment and said in surprise, "How could he...?"

“According to the investigation in the Nine Springs Realm, Shangguan Honghuo has awakened, but unlike you, he awakened when he was bitten by a bat and his life was hanging by a thread.” The illusory soul said, “To be honest, awakened individuals may awaken their personal abilities a second time in critical moments, but Shangguan Honghuo is an exception.”

Gu Liyan frowned and asked, "Is he in this city now?"

“Yes, he is actually the source of this natural disaster!” the Void Soul said.

Gu Liyan's face darkened. "Then how do you expect me to stop him? You know me, Xiao Bai, I'm just an ordinary person."

“As I just told you, there’s a possibility of a second awakening in a critical moment, which is why I’m here to see you.” As he spoke, the illusory soul took out a reagent from his pocket. “This is an enhancement agent that I brought back from another dimension. If you’ve thought it through, you can try it, but I can’t guarantee its absolute safety.”
