A chill permeated his entire body, piercing his flesh and soul. His heart ached, aching for what he had lost. No one knew the agony Gu Liyan was enduring at that moment.
In this cold space, Gu Liyan paced back and forth, frowning. "What can I do to save her... What should I do, what should I do..."
"Daddy—"
Just as Gu Liyan was looking anxious, he suddenly heard Xiao Tao's voice in his ear.
"Xiao Tao?!" Gu Liyan looked around. "Xiao Tao? Is that you?"
"It's me!" Xiao Tao's voice was filled with excitement, and at that moment a pink shadow appeared.
"Xiao Tao! You're still alive!" Gu Liyan looked at Xiao Tao with surprise and delight.
“Of course! I am a spirit created by you, Father, with your life spirit. I am a life form that is given energy by love and affection in the world. How could I die so easily?” Xiao Tao’s small body floated down onto Gu Liyan’s shoulder. “Now Xiao Tao’s spirit is in Brother Mo Chen’s body. Father, you don’t need to worry.”
"Yes, I'm glad you're alright!" Gu Liyan said with a smile.
"Is Daddy worried because of Mom?" Xiao Tao asked, seeing Gu Liyan's anxious expression.
Gu Liyan nodded. "Yes, I'm thinking about how to help your mother break free from Cang Ye's control."
“Cang Ye entered Mother’s body in the form of a soul. I think Father, if you want to harm him to save Mother, you must also use the form of a soul—”
Gu Liyan frowned slightly. "So, I have to die again?"
"No!" Xiao Tao hurriedly stopped him. "Daddy, where you are right now is the critical line. If your consciousness weakens even a little, your soul will be locked forever at the bottom of the abyss!"
Gu Liyan frowned. "I've been through this many times before. I'm definitely not going to die because of this!"
Having made up his mind, Gu Liyan completely ignored Xiao Tao's objections and withdrew from the consciousness space.

Gu Yixian looked at Gu Liyan with a worried expression. His pale face revealed a resolute and stubborn expression, as well as a touching sentimentality and a longing for freedom.
Although he lacked passionate enthusiasm, exceptional talent, and lofty ambitions, he still possessed his own empire, loved ones, and someone he was determined to protect with all his might. Because of that person, he had a powerful reason, a compelling cause for his unwavering devotion.
He was so pure, so innocent, and so gentle...
Gu Yixian smiled slightly as she looked at Gu Liyan. For some reason, perhaps because she was the original owner of this body, she gradually developed feelings of love for Gu Liyan.
With a gentle smile, Gu Yixian covered Gu Liyan's cold body with the blanket. "Gu Liyan, you must get better soon. I have something I want to tell you..."
Just then, Mo Chen ran over carrying a blanket. "I brought all the blankets from the entire mountain gate. Do you see if he's any better?"
Gu Yixian took the blanket and covered Gu Liyan with several more layers. She turned to look at Gu Liyan's still pale and bloodless face, frowned slightly and said, "I've already stopped the bleeding and applied medicine. I think he should wake up after a few days of rest."
Upon hearing this, Mo Chen glared angrily and said, "You hurt him and then you still want to save him? What's the point of that?"
Gu Yixian turned her head and glared at Mo Chen. "I'm willing. Besides, you're my slave now. What right do you have to tell me what to do?"
"You..." Mo Chen was so angry that he pointed at Gu Yixian but couldn't speak.
Just then, Gu Liyan suddenly coughed softly, "Cough..."
Gu Yixian's gaze immediately shifted from Mo Chen, and she ran straight to Gu Liyan's bedside. Seeing that Gu Liyan had woken up, she immediately said with concern, "Gu Liyan, you're awake!"
Gu Liyan noticed Gu Yixian's slight frown and, judging from her tone, immediately understood that the person before him was not his beloved woman, but rather his enemy.
Gu Liyan's face was cold and displeased. He looked at Gu Yixian and said irritably, "Are you that confident?"
Gu Yixian looked at Gu Liyan with a puzzled expression. "What do you mean by this?"
"You could have let me die on my own, why didn't you kill me?" Gu Liyan said coldly. "Are you that confident? Do you really think you can control all of us?"
"Hmph!" Gu Yixian snorted coldly and stood up. "Gu Liyan, you ungrateful fox! I thought that as your wife, our relationship would improve, but I didn't expect you to be so heartless, completely ignoring me! I intended to be with you, but you showed no intention of accepting me at all!"
Mo Chen looked at Gu Yixian with a surprised expression: What the hell?! Cang Ye actually fell in love with Mo Li?!
Mo Chen was so surprised that he became a little flustered.
Gu Liyan stared coldly at Gu Yixian, unmoved.
Gu Yixian looked at Gu Liyan, and her eyes lit up immediately. "Ah! I know! Gu Liyan, so you wanted to force me to kill you!"
Mo Chen looked at Gu Liyan in surprise, "What?!"
"Once you die, you can enter Gu Yixian's body with your soul. Then you'll have a chance to fight me. Ha! Hahaha, Gu Liyan, you're really clever!" Gu Yixian sneered.
Gu Liyan pursed his lips and spoke, then frowned as he looked at Gu Yixian without saying a word.
Seeing Gu Liyan's reaction, Gu Yixian sneered, "Hmph, just as I thought! You think you can save your woman by defeating me? Heh, don't even think about it! I've already destroyed her fetus. I've become the lifeblood connecting her to her body. If you kill me, or if I leave her body, she will die!"
