As she spoke, she tried to push Gu Liyan into the room, but Gu Liyan waved her hand and said, "It's nothing. Although I can't see, I already know the layout of the room. Don't worry about me!"
"Hmph, be careful you don't blow your own horn and then fall down!" Gu Yixian rolled her eyes and said.
Gu Liyan did not refute Gu Yixian, but instead spoke to her gently with an extremely serious expression, "Yiyi, listen to me, don't worry about this."
Gu Yixian was taken aback. Looking at Gu Liyan's unusually cold expression, she frowned and asked, "Why? Sister-in-law Zhang Xiang has been very good to me, and I watched Xiaohu grow up. They..."
Gu Liyan grabbed Gu Yixian's hand, interrupting her, "Don't forget, you still have something that binds us together on your person!"
Gu Yixian was stunned for a moment before she realized that Gu Liyan had stopped her so that she could focus on her pregnancy.
“But… Sister-in-law Zhang Xiang…” Gu Yixian was still a little worried.
Gu Liyan pursed his lips and said, "Then leave this matter to me!"
"But, Xiao Li, you..."
"Don't worry, although I can't see and my body hasn't fully recovered, I still have some tricks up my sleeve!" Gu Liyan smiled gently, looking quite handsome.
Gu Yixian looked at Gu Liyan with some worry. Before she could stop him, Gu Liyan waved to Xiaohu and said, "Xiaohu, come here."
When Xiao Hu saw Gu Liyan calling him, he hurriedly ran over and asked, "Big brother, you'll help me, right?"
Gu Liyan smiled and said, "Because of you, your sister Yiyi and I had the chance to reconcile. I haven't repaid you yet!"
Hearing Gu Liyan's words, Xiao Hu didn't immediately ask for help. Instead, he blinked and looked at Gu Liyan's dim eyes. Considering their conversation just now, Xiao Hu became worried. "But, big brother, your eyes... I'm afraid they can't beat my father's..."
Hearing Xiao Hu's words, Gu Liyan had a headache. After all, he was a fox spirit who had cultivated for a thousand years. No matter how injured he was, he was still stronger than an ordinary person, right?
However, even if he explained it, Gu Yixian and Xiaohu probably still wouldn't be convinced...
Gu Liyan helplessly raised his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, the jade flute Chang Shang appeared in his palm. Seeing Gu Liyan perform it as if by magic, Xiao Hu couldn't help but exclaim, "Big brother, are you, are you a god? How did you do that?"
Seeing Xiao Hu's reaction, Gu Liyan smiled smugly, "Big brother, I am a cultivator, of course I can do it!"
Little Tiger asked excitedly, "Then, big brother, can you teach me magic? That way I can protect my mother!"
"You have too early to start cultivating, and besides, it's too late to save your mother now."
"Oh? Is that so..." Little Tiger was immediately disappointed.
"However, I can teach you how to control this treasure!" Gu Liyan chuckled and said, "It all depends on whether you want to learn!"
Little Tiger nodded eagerly, "I want to learn! I want to learn!"
——
For the rest of the day, Gu Liyan spent the entire time teaching Xiaohu to play the jade flute. Seeing Gu Liyan's pale face, Gu Yixian couldn't help but speak:
"Xiao Li, let Xiao Hu rest for a bit! You two have been studying for five or six hours already!"
Hearing Gu Yixian's words, Gu Liyan also felt a little tired and nodded, saying, "Okay, let's rest for a bit."
As he spoke, he prepared to stand up, but before he could rise, Gu Liyan felt his body go limp and he collapsed to the ground—
"Xiao Li!" Gu Yixian hurriedly helped Gu Liyan up. Looking at his exhausted face, Gu Yixian asked with concern, "Are you alright? Lie down and rest for a bit."
Gu Liyan nodded slightly. He had only used his demonic energy a few times, but he hadn't expected it to gradually deplete.
Looking at the exhausted Gu Liyan, Xiao Hu spoke through teary eyes, "It's...it's Xiao Hu's fault, I've made big brother almost die..."
Hearing this, Gu Liyan couldn't help but laugh and scold, "You little rascal, it's not that I'm exhausted by you, it's that I'm driven crazy by you!"
Little Tiger burst into tears, "Big brother, big brother is really going to die... Waaah..."
"You brat, can you stop cursing..." Gu Liyan's expression suddenly changed before he could finish speaking. His blood surged up and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Upon seeing this, Gu Yixian exclaimed, "Xiao Li!"
Gu Liyan trembled all over, feeling as if a strange force was draining the life force from his body...
Gu Yixian placed her hand on Gu Liyan's hand, and a cold aura spread from Gu Liyan's body. In the blink of an eye, Gu Yixian and Xiao Hu in the room could exhale their breath...
Gu Yixian's expression changed drastically upon sensing that Gu Liyan's pulse was unusually weak.
At this moment, Xiao Hu, trembling all over, spoke up, "Sister Yi Yi... Xiao Hu, Xiao Hu is cold, so cold..."
Gu Yixian glanced at Gu Liyan, whose consciousness was beginning to fade, and then at Xiao Hu, who was trembling all over. She gritted her teeth and ran out the door with Xiao Hu.
The sunlight chased away the cold, which helped to lower their body temperature.
Gu Yixian looked at the room; the floor of the cold-filled house was covered with a layer of frost. "Xiao Li..."
Gu Yixian turned to Xiaohu and instructed him, "Xiaohu, don't go anywhere here. I'm going in to check on him."
Xiao Hu held Gu Liyan's jade flute and nodded.
Without saying a word, Gu Yixian gritted her teeth and ran into the room.
The moment I entered the room, I felt a chill wash over me and I couldn't help but shiver.
Gu Liyan, lying on the bed, looked pained, clenching his teeth tightly, his body trembling constantly.
