Hua Mansion
Gu Liyan walked through every corner of the Flower Mansion, and wherever he went, flowers bloomed everywhere. Withered flowers sprouted new buds, as if welcoming a new life.
In the distance, a beautiful figure quietly watched Gu Liyan, neither stepping forward nor interrupting the grand ceremony.
The spotless white-clad youth had shed his childishness, and with every gesture, he transformed the Flower Mansion into a white world, a pure and pristine white!
Gu Liyan stopped in her tracks, standing on the stands, feeling weary and tired. She wanted to lie down straight, nestled among the soft, comfortable embrace of nature...
But even though I did that, the scent I smelled when I fell down wasn't as pure as the natural scent; instead, it was a faint body fragrance that smelled wonderful!
Gu Liyan slowly opened her eyes with a puzzled look, and looked at the person supporting her, somewhat surprised, "It's you?"
"Hmm." Hua Yuxian looked coldly at Gu Liyan's flushed face—this fox is perfectly fine! What's with this exhausted look?!
"You've been here the whole time?" Gu Liyan asked curiously, blinking as he lay in Hua Yuxian's arms.
Hua Yuxian nodded with a gloomy expression. "Yes!"
"I'm so sorry I didn't notice you!" Gu Liyan laughed, expressing his embarrassment.
Hua Yuxian's face darkened to the extreme, and she finally couldn't help but speak up, "Can't you get up by yourself!"
Before Gu Liyan could speak, Hua Yuxian released him and threw him to the ground. Gu Liyan fell to the ground, feeling the soft texture beneath him. Instead of being angry, he laughed, "I really didn't expect that after this ceremony, this place could actually be used as a bed! The sky is my house, the earth is my bed, I won't need to build a house anymore..."
"Hmph, disgusting!" Hua Yuxian blushed and cursed upon hearing this.
Gu Liyan sat up with a smile. "How is it sordid? Isn't it?"
Hua Yuxian said righteously, "Anyone who lives outdoors is considered to be in the wilderness. Not only that, but you also use the ground as your bed. This is truly a great disrespect to heaven and earth!"
Gu Liyan stared blankly at Hua Yuxian, then burst into laughter:
"Hahaha, I thought the Heavenly Palace only had stubborn beings like Emperor Tianxuan, who only remembered past grudges and grievances. I never expected... I never expected that you would be just like those old guys! Hahahaha!"
Hua Yuxian was furious. "Shut up! If you laugh again, I'll chop you up!"
As he spoke, he actually drew his sword and pointed it at Gu Liyan.
Seeing Hua Yuxian's sword thrusting towards him, Gu Liyan looked up, a tear instantly rolling down his cheek. Hua Yuxian's hand trembled involuntarily, and before she could say anything, Gu Liyan dodged the blade and pulled her into a tight embrace.
"Sister Yuxian... I have to admit, you and Xiaobai look so alike... and I also have to admit, seeing you—makes me miss her so much!"
The trembling body in her arms made Hua Yuxian feel a pang of heartache. She had come to the Hua residence to monitor Gu Liyan, but she hadn't expected that this guy would perform the growth ceremony for the Heavenly Palace so soon after recovering from his injuries.
"What should I do... I really want to go to her, but I can't!" Gu Liyan was torn with pain, and tears really fell down her face.
Memories of the Flower Goddesses' joy and pain kept surfacing in his mind. Even Gu Liyan, with his strong mental power, began to suffer from the memories he inherited.
He has his own thoughts and memories. If his life's memories are occupied by the memories of others, he—
Is it still him?
Hua Yuxian didn't know how to comfort him or how to express herself, so she could only let Gu Liyan hold her, perhaps giving him the illusion that he was holding Hua Baixian.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Liyan collapsed wearily into Hua Yuxian's arms and fell into a deep sleep.
Looking down at Gu Liyan, Hua Yuxian suddenly realized that this fox demon from another race was not as dangerous as Emperor Tianxuan had said!
His handsome face surpassed that of every man in the Celestial Clan, making Hua Yuxian unable to resist reaching out to touch his cheek—
Smooth, moist, with the bitterness of tears.
"Gu Liyan—what kind of person are you really?"
Hua Yuxian smiled slightly, her beauty captivating.
When Gu Liyan woke up, he was still in Hua Yuxian's arms, but Hua Yuxian, as if infected by his weariness, fell into a deep sleep.
Gu Liyan smiled slightly, took off his coat and covered Hua Yuxian with it, then stood up and stretched. "Let's continue the ceremony!"
A beautiful woman in a gentle breeze, her white robes fluttering amidst the flowers, Gu Liyan's gaze remained firm and bright—
——
The atmosphere in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion was now rather solemn. Before the Heavenly Chess Emperor was a game of chess, and the one playing against him, the one who would win or lose, was Yin and Yang.
"Yin Yang, you've lost," Tian Yi said.
Yin Yang didn't care at all. "Master, you're mistaken. You're the one who lost!" he said, wielding a black chess piece and making a sharp move, but in doing so, he connected his own large group of stones!
A strange glint flashed in Tianyi's eyes, then he put down the chess piece in his hand. "You're right, I lost!"
"Since Master began teaching me Yin-Yang Chess, this is the first time I've won against him. May I smile?" Yin-Yang said with a slight smile.
Tianyi paused, then shook his head. He had once taught Yin and Yang—
On the chessboard, remain calm and composed; off the chessboard, neither grieve nor rejoice over victory or defeat.
Seeing Yin Yang's long-lost smile, Tian Yi suddenly felt as if he had finally seen a new dawn in his heart.
"Have you resolved your inner conflict?" Tianyi asked.
"Exactly! I never imagined that the knot in my heart that had troubled me for so many years could be untied by just a pot of wine!" Yin Yang's eyes softened, and his smile was youthful as he said, "If I had known it was so simple, I would have drunk every last drop of wine in your residence, Master!"
"You came here to see me today for someone else, didn't you?" Tianyi looked at the defeated chess game before him, where hidden killing intent was constantly present, making him feel a chill down his spine.
