"Aww..." Gu Liyan let out a low, painful cry, and when he opened his eyes, they flashed with a sharp purple light.
"Little fox, are you alright? Speak up! Oh right, I forgot you can't speak..." Hua Baixian looked at Gu Liyan nervously, not daring to step forward, her face pale with fright, and she was incoherent.
Gu Liyan felt a stinging pain in her eyes, yet a gentle energy was nourishing them. Finally, those eyes, gleaming with purple light, landed on Hua Baixian—
"The bones are depicted in form, but the soul is intangible—the soul's pupils are painted!"
Through her bright, clear pink eyes, I saw her sacred soul. The blooming flowers surrounded her, building a wall of life around her, charming, dazzling, and ever-renewing!
Gu Liyan stared blankly at Hua Baixian: "The true form of the Flower Goddess?! She—is actually the Flower Goddess of this Heavenly Palace!"
Hua Baixian looked at Gu Liyan with a puzzled expression. Seeing that he was no longer in pain, she picked him up and hugged him tightly, rubbing his soft and shiny fox fur against her chest!
She asked worriedly, "Little fox, are you alright? It's all my fault for making you eat so many pills. I promise I'll ask carefully before giving them to you next time!"
Gu Liyan's lips twitched involuntarily. "Then I swear, I will never get hurt again in my life!"
Just then, Hua Baixian hurriedly pushed Gu Liyan away from her arms.
Gu Liyan was startled and looked at Hua Baixian with a puzzled expression. She was flustered and at a loss for what to do. "Ah! Oh no! It's so late! My sister is coming back soon, and I haven't finished the task she gave me! Oh no, oh no..."
Hua Baixian hurriedly grabbed the flower basket. "You rest well, I'll be back in a bit!"
Gu Liyan watched Hua Baixian rush out the door in a flurry, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly, "That girl..."
He rose, his form changed, his black hair fell down, and his white robes remained spotless—
Turning his head, he looked at himself in the bronze mirror beside him. His fair skin was as bright as the moon, and his exquisite features made even the flowers decorating the room pale in comparison. He couldn't help but smile, "The Celestial Clan's elixir is indeed extraordinary. It actually restored my cultivation of a hundred years without any source of magical power."
Clenching his fist, feeling the pure and unadulterated energy, he couldn't help but smile. "Although I can't maintain the human form for too long, the feeling of rejuvenation is quite nice, even stronger than when I was at this level before!"
Gu Liyan went to the window, pushed it open, and sunlight shone on his face, gradually revealing a confident and handsome smile.
—On the other side
At the coldest border of Huafu, the ground bears traces of snow, and grows unknown ice-blue flowers, radiating a crystal-like brilliance, the allure of snow.
Hua Baixian squatted among the cold flower bushes, carefully pulling them up by the roots and placing them in her flower basket. With a sense of accomplishment, she said, "Qichen Pavilion is quite deserted. It would be better to decorate it with these flowers!"
Looking at the icy blue flowers that exuded a chilling aura, Hua Baixian completely forgot that her hands were frostbitten and continued to collect them.
Following the scent left by Hua Baixian, Gu Liyan discovered her sitting alone in the cold grass, carefully picking ice-blue flowers. Her cute and earnest appearance made him take a few more glances.
Suddenly, he noticed that the frostbitten hands had turned purple, and his expression changed drastically. "This stupid girl... how could she get close to such an evil flower!"
Without a second thought, Gu Liyan walked straight toward Hua Baixian...
Hua Baixian tossed her hair, her charming and adorable profile beaming with a smile. Just then, a strange voice suddenly came from behind her—
"It's too cold here! How can you be so careless with your health!"
Before Hua Baixian could even turn around and see who it was, she was pulled up from the ground, the flowers in her hand thrown to the ground. But before she could get angry, she felt a warmth coming from her hand—
Gu Liyan carefully held Hua Baixian's hands in his palms and spoke gently, "This flower is called 'Long-lasting Cold Heart.' It has a long lifespan, but its coldness penetrates to the bone. If you live near it for a long time, you will be poisoned by its coldness!"
Gu Liyan looked down at Hua Baixian's hands, which were gradually recovering, and breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness, it's not too serious!"
Hua Baixian raised her head and saw a young man in white with an exquisitely beautiful face and bright, clear purple eyes that seemed to reflect the universe and the stars, mysterious and dazzling!
But what shines even brighter at this moment is his smile, which is full of confidence and charm!
"Who, who are you?" Hua Baixian stared at Gu Liyan in a daze.
Their eyes met, and Gu Liyan smiled slightly. "My name is Gu Liyan!"
A gentle breeze caressed her hair and stirred her skirt, warming her once chilly hair, all because—
You're by my side!
