Gu Yan raised his hand and gently wiped the blood from Mo Li's mouth. "It's been so many years since I've looked at your face closely... I really miss it..."
"Master...I..." Mo Li's eyes glistened with tears, but before he could continue speaking, he suddenly caught his breath...
Gu Yan reached out and grabbed Mo Li's neck, pinning him to the ground. "Do you know why I've been avoiding you all these years? Seeing you in human form, I can't help but think of the grudges I once tried to forget! It's because of your face! It's because you have the same face as him!"
"Ah... Master... no... don't... uh..." Mo Li looked at Gu Yan in horror, struggling to breathe and trying to break free from Gu Yan's grasp...
"Why? Why you of all people! Give me back my disciple Gu Liyan! White Emperor! Why you of all people!" Gu Yan's face was contorted with rage. Seeing that Mo Li could still speak, he went berserk, his left hand gripping Mo Li's neck, his right hand's nails sharp as blades, digging viciously into Mo Li's chest—
"Ah..." Mo Li's pupils contracted, and he trembled all over in pain...
laugh--
Gu Yan pressed down on Mo Li's neck with his left hand to prevent him from moving an inch, while his right hand was pulled out from Mo Li's chest, blood splattering all over his face, making him look incredibly terrifying!
Mo Li's white robes were instantly stained with blood, turning into blood-stained clothes. The stench of blood filled the surroundings, making it extremely pungent!
"Die, White Emperor!"
As he spoke, Gu Yan raised his right hand, his sharp palm aimed at Mo Li's chest...
Mo Li's pupils contracted, and he forgot to resist. He saw that the sharp palm was stabbing towards his heart without any mercy!
"No--"
Suddenly, Gu Chengyan rushed over and pushed Mo Li aside. However, Gu Chengyan seemed to be possessed by a demon and actually raised his hand to stab at Mo Li. Seeing this, Mo Li hurriedly shouted, "Master, no!"
Pfft—
Gu Chengyan shuddered. She felt an emptiness in her heart, as if she had lost her heart again...
Looking down, he saw a hand pierce his heart from behind; blood gushed out, turning from scalding hot to icy cold.
"No!"
Gu Chengyan heard Mo Li shouting desperately, and looked up at Mo Li, whom he had shielded, his handsome face crying so sorrowfully!
Why are you crying again...?
And she was crying so sadly...
Her crying was heartbreaking...
Gu Chengyan looked at Mo Li and suddenly remembered when he was dying, that naive young man cried so heartbrokenly!
“Gu Liyan…”
Gu Chengyan blinked at Mo Li...
"Chengyan!" Mo Li hugged Gu Chengyan tightly, crying with unbearable heartache. "No... How could you be so foolish! Don't you know that if you possess someone else and die, your soul will be scattered?!"
"Why, why did this happen..." Mo Li's tears fell onto Gu Chengyan's face, burning hot.
Looking at Mo Li's heartbroken expression, Gu Chengyan suddenly smiled, a tear rolling down her cheek. She softly said, "Gu Liyan... I owe you a tear... Today, I return it to you. From now on... we owe each other nothing!"
After saying that, Gu Chengyan closed his eyes...
Mo Li stared blankly at Gu Chengyan, who was no longer breathing. In her arms lay only an empty shell of a body that no longer belonged to her; her soul had dissipated, gone forever.
She died in place of Gu Liyan during her lifetime, her physical body annihilated.
After her death, she died protecting Gu Liyan, her soul scattered.
Because they met as children, Gu Liyan used tears to gain sympathy, which led Gu Li to take in the dying girl...
Now, she has repaid everything, and she can be free.
