Gu Liyan gently placed Gu Yixian on the ground. Xiao Tao looked at Gu Yixian and couldn't help but want to cry for some reason.
"dad……"
Xiao Tao had just called out when she saw Gu Liyan's gloomy face and immediately fell silent in fright.
Without saying a word, Gu Liyan sat cross-legged next to Gu Yixian.
Holding Gu Yixian's hand, Gu Liyan gently said, "Yiyi, don't be afraid. When this life ends, I will find you again in the next! I will not let you be alone. In the next life, and the life after that, no matter how many reincarnations you go through, I will protect you! Now there is also Xiaotao. We will find you and accompany you through the final tribulation..."
Xiao Tao looked at Gu Liyan and listened to his words, and couldn't help but sob. She wiped away her tears and snot, trying her best not to cry out loud.
Gu Liyan put down her hand and gently patted Xiao Tao's head to comfort her.
Gu Liyan glanced at the jade hairpin on Gu Yixian's chest, and his heart trembled violently, the pain causing him to instinctively clutch his chest.
"Dad?" Xiao Tao looked at Gu Liyan with a worried expression. Gu Liyan waved his hand, "It's nothing..."
Gu Liyan reached out and placed his hand on the jade hairpin on Gu Yixian's chest. After hesitating for a moment, Gu Liyan looked at Gu Yixian again, as if trying to imprint her face deeply in his mind...
After staring at Gu Yixian for an unknown amount of time, Gu Liyan's hands had become stiff.
"Dad?" Xiao Tao called out worriedly after seeing Gu Liyan remain motionless for a long time.
Gu Liyan stared blankly at Xiao Tao, and finally couldn't help but cry, "Xiao Tao, I'm sorry, I failed to protect your mother!"
Gu Liyan pulled Xiao Tao into his arms, his heart aching so badly he could hardly breathe...
"Daddy, don't cry, and Xiaotao, don't cry either! Mommy will be unhappy if she sees this!" Xiaotao sniffed and said.
Gu Liyan released his hand, wiped away his tears, and nodded to Xiao Tao, "Yes, you're right, we can't let your mother be sad!"
Gu Liyan reached out and gripped the jade hairpin tightly again, taking a deep breath. "Yiyi, let's meet again in the next life!"
Without hesitation, she pulled out the jade hairpin. Instantly, Gu Yixian's physical body seemed to disintegrate, transforming into countless stars that slowly became transparent before vanishing...
Upon seeing this, Xiao Tao burst into tears, crying, "Mommy, Mommy's gone! Waaah..."
Gu Liyan walked over and hugged Xiao Tao, speaking gently, "Don't worry about Xiao Tao, she's gone to another place now, we'll find her!"
Little Peach blinked her pink eyes and looked at Gu Liyan, "Daddy, Mommy didn't leave us, right?"
Gu Liyan smiled and nodded. "Yes! Of course! However, finding your mother may involve many difficulties. You are still young and lack the ability. You need to work hard to become stronger. When you grow up, Dad will accompany you to find your mother! Okay?"
Xiao Tao nodded earnestly, "Yes! I will grow up quickly and become strong, then I will find Mom with Dad!"
Seeing Xiao Tao's earnest expression, Gu Liyan was reminded of his own past, when he too had gone to find Hua Baixian with the same intention...
But now that we have Xiaotao, things should be much easier, right?
I couldn't help but laugh:
If I bring my son with me in the next life, she shouldn't deny it, right?
—It is said that Mo Chen, who was poisoned, used the Nine Springs Token to return to the Nine Springs Realm due to exhaustion. He collapsed and lost consciousness. He slept for an unknown amount of time before waking up.
"...Where am I...?" Mo Chen sat up, clutching his head. "I feel dizzy and lightheaded..."
Just then, a childish voice suddenly exclaimed:
"Dad, he's awake!"
Mo Chen was startled. How could there be a child's voice in the Nine Springs Realm?!
Following the sound, I saw a boy who looked to be only about ten years old. He had a pair of fluffy white fox ears, a playful little tail wagging behind him, and stared at me with big, pink, watery eyes. He looked so cute that I couldn't help but want to kiss him!
Seeing his expression, Mo Chen stammered, "You, you wouldn't be......"
Xiao Tao sensed an aura emanating from Mo Chen that was many times stronger than hers, and she was immediately frightened. She promptly turned and ran towards the hall, shouting, "Daddy! Daddy! The weird uncle is awake!"
"Hey, what nonsense are you spouting, you brat? Who's the weirdo?! Don't run! Stop right there!" Mo Chen was both amused and exasperated, and then chased after him.
At this moment, two figures dressed in white sat facing each other in the hall, with a table full of tea sets in front of them, the aroma of tea filling the air and soothing the soul.
Splash...
The man moved with practiced ease, pouring two cups of tea, one for himself and the other for the man in white opposite him.
Just then, Xiao Tao suddenly ran in and darted into the arms of the man in white who was pouring tea. "Daddy! Daddy! That strange uncle who's been sleeping for so long has woken up!"
Gu Liyan patted Xiao Tao's head with a smile and said with a slight smile, "Really? It's good that you're awake."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Mo Chen walked in. "Hey, you little rascal... why are you running so fast! Whoosh whoosh whoosh... don't you know that someone who's just recovered from a serious illness can't be caught?"
Seeing Mo Chen panting, Gu Liyan couldn't help but laugh, "Who's talking about a brat? Our Xiao Tao is clearly a fox child!"
Before Mo Chen could say anything, Xiao Tao immediately became unhappy, pouting and jumping out of Gu Liyan's arms with her hands on her hips, and said in a serious tone:
"Dad! I don't want you to talk about people like that! It sounds like something a tiger cub would say! Those tiger-headed, tiger-like creatures are nowhere near as powerful as our fox clan!"
Then, he directly addressed the white-robed man sitting opposite Gu Liyan, saying, "Aren't you right, Grandpa?"
