"Don't worry! The rope that tied him up was made from the spiritual root of a thousand-year-old tree. He can't escape at all!" Little Tiger said with a grin.
“No, that’s not what I meant… I meant that even if we bind his physical body, what if he throws it away and runs away?” Lei Dong said awkwardly.
Upon hearing Lei Dong's explanation, Mo Chen and Xiao Hu exchanged a glance, then immediately turned around and ran back!
As expected, when they rushed back, Cangye's body had already collapsed on the ground, and his life was unknown!
Mo Chen went up to check and couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! They actually let that guy get away!"
Little Tiger glanced at the empty wooden cart and sneered, "I didn't expect even the little shrimps to get away! But don't worry, they won't go far!"
After saying that, Xiao Hu raised his little hand, and all around him, countless trees began to tremble, and one could vaguely see that the trees were glowing with a green fluorescence.
"Sleeping tree spirits, please help me..." Little Tiger murmured, and countless fluorescent lights instantly merged into one, extending into the depths of the forest and forming a path.
"Come on, let's follow them!" Little Tiger grinned, revealing his fangs.
Cang Ye and Lei Li, one soul each, continued running deeper into the forest.
"I finally found a suitable body, and these two damned guys ruined it all!" Cangye's form was like a cloud of black mist drifting through the forest, leaving faint black particles in its wake.
Lei Li remained silent, feeling a mixture of worry and tension: worrying about whether Lei Dong's choice was right or wrong, and tense about whether his own chosen side was right or wrong.
However, regardless of right or wrong, it seems there's no turning back...
Just as Lei Li was feeling worried, Cang Ye suddenly stopped.
"Master? What's wrong?" Lei Li asked curiously.
Cang Ye stood still, surveying his surroundings and sensing the aura around him. He squinted at a spot not far away and said, "This is where I met Gu Liyan!"
"What's wrong? He's not here." Lei Li scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.
Cang Ye squinted, his gaze falling on the dense forest not far away. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and a slight upturn of the corners of his mouth could be faintly seen within the darkness:
No! He's here!
Lei Li looked at Cang Ye with a surprised expression.
Cang Ye waved his hand and said, "Let's go! This time I'll see who can stop me from killing him!"
Gu Liyan escaped from his clutches once, and then escaped again because Lei Dong saved his life. In the end, even Gu Yan was his father...
How could Cang Ye accept letting the same person go again and again!
"As long as we capture him, Mo Chen and Xiao Hu will have to listen to me! Even the Grand Strategist Gu Yan will have to act according to my wishes!"
Having made up his mind, Cang Ye turned around and ran towards the cave where Gu Liyan and Gu Yixian were.
——
What met my eyes was not darkness, nor light, but endless crimson.
Gu Yixian looked around, a sense of fear and panic creeping into her heart.
"Xiao, Xiao Li? Are you there?"
In the empty world, only her own voice echoed, and Gu Yixian was so frightened that she involuntarily retreated and shrank into the corner.
Suddenly, she subconsciously looked down and found that her slightly protruding belly had already flattened!
"My child! My child!" Gu Yixian was terrified.
Just as she was at a loss, a pair of warm hands pulled her out of the dream—
"Yiyi! Yiyi!" Gu Liyan looked at Gu Yixian with a worried expression.
Gu Yixian opened her eyes, which were filled with tears. Looking at Gu Liyan, whose face was pale, she swallowed hard and choked out, "Little...Little Li—"
"Yes, I'm here, it's alright now." Gu Liyan hugged her tightly with heartache.
Gu Yixian lowered her head, looking at her slightly protruding belly, and couldn't help but hug Gu Liyan and cry bitterly, "Waaaaah, I just dreamed that our child is gone!"
"No, no, it's not not there! He's right inside you!" Gu Liyan comforted Gu Yixian by stroking her head.
Gu Yixian trembled all over, her heart pounding rapidly. Sensing her change, Gu Liyan held her tightly in his arms. What he didn't say was that his own heart was also beginning to race…
Gu Liyan frowned, recalling that there were no records of children born from the union of humans and demons among the demon race.
However, there is a possibility of marriage between humans and demons, but it will harm the mother.
Gu Liyan glanced at Gu Yixian, who was drowsy in his arms, and became worried. If Gu Yixian were to be implicated because of this, he would truly be a sinner!
"Xiao Li?" Gu Yixian called softly, only to find that Gu Liyan had already lost in thought.
"Xiao Li? What's wrong? Is your wound hurting again?" Gu Yixian sat up and asked, tugging at his clothes.
"Ah, sorry, I was thinking about something just now..." Gu Liyan said with a smile.
"If you feel unwell, don't hold it in. You must tell me, okay?" Gu Yixian said with a worried expression.
"Look, I can maintain my human form for so long now, I'm really fine!" Gu Liyan gently stroked Gu Yixian's head and said, "We're out of medicinal herbs, I'll go out and find some more, and bring some food with me."
Gu Yixian glanced at Gu Liyan with some reluctance, but seeing the herbs that were almost used up and the food that was nearly finished, she could only nod and say, "Then be careful, I'll wait for you to come back."
Gu Liyan nodded and got up to leave the cave.
Gu Liyan, having emerged from the cave, transformed into a little fox and disappeared directly into the dense forest.
Lei Li, who was hiding to the side, exclaimed excitedly, "That's him! Master, should we...?"
Cang Ye squinted at the cave. "Go and bring that little fox back to me. I want to see what's hidden in this cave!"
