Gu Liyan was slightly taken aback. It wasn't the face that kept appearing in her memory, nor the charming and beautiful appearance she had imagined. Instead, it was as terrifying as her hands, riddled with holes!
Seeing Gu Liyan stunned, Qianbai immediately came to her senses and hurriedly snatched the veil from Gu Liyan's hand, angrily saying, "You, don't you know that a woman who casually removes her veil must be protected for a lifetime?! Even if she is not a slave, she must still make a vow to protect her!"
"It's alright, I'm a necromancer, this rule doesn't apply here. You can leave now!"
The shyness on Qianbai's face had turned into inferiority, as she knew she was not worthy of the perfect Gu Liyan!
Gu Liyan looked at her, unmoved by her order to leave.
Seeing Gu Liyan standing there looking at her ugly face, Qianbai felt ashamed and could only run away, away from this stunningly beautiful person who made the world pale in comparison!
Qianbai stomped her feet in anger, and without thinking, she turned around to run away. But the moment she turned around, Gu Liyan hugged her tightly from behind.
Thousands were stopped!
She stood there in astonishment, trapped by Gu Liyan's strong and powerful arms.
In her world, darkness and death were everywhere, and all living beings avoided her like the plague. Why? Why did this perfect person touch herself without any fear?
Isn't he afraid of being cursed by his own fate?
Misfortune has befallen her, death has been declared, she is a spirit woman!
"where are you going?!"
Gu Liyan's voice reached her ears, tinged with displeasure, reluctance, and even anger...
Gu Liyan's expression was uncertain. He couldn't help but shout, "Are you... going to leave me again? Are you really that unwilling to stay?"
A thousand questions arose, and before she could respond to Gu Liyan, she suddenly felt her shoulder become damp, and her heart skipped a beat:
Were those... his tears?
"Time and time again, I waited and waited in the netherworld, and hoped and hoped in the underworld, and then went through life and death tribulations with you, life after life. Are you really so heartless that you would just look at me and leave? Or... do you think that I, Gu Liyan, would stop loving you because your appearance is ruined?" Gu Liyan said, choking with sobs.
Upon hearing Gu Liyan's words, Qianbai suddenly felt a pang of heartache and sadness, a sharp pain that was unbearable in her chest.
Instantly, tears welled up in her eyes—
Perhaps it was because she fell in love with him upon seeing his stunningly beautiful appearance.
Perhaps it was the moment he reached out his hands that stirred his heart.
Perhaps it was because he didn't mind holding me at all.
In short, Qianbai felt that this person had become his destiny, something he could not escape, could not let go of, and could not sever ties with!
Gu Liyan turned her to face him, his hands trembling slightly as he gently and slowly raised them, carefully cradling her once beautiful and captivating face.
"It's alright, Xiao Bai. Now that we know it's you, it's really alright—" Gu Liyan smiled slightly, his gentleness as bright as the sunlight!
Qianbai's eyes were slightly red. She actually hated this ugly face, her innate bad luck, and that ghostly death curse!
She longed for the joy and laughter of friends.
How she longed to chat and laugh with him, hand in hand!
But unfortunately, no one in the world could get within ten meters of her; those who did were all dead spirits!
"Waaaaah..." Qianbai's grievances erupted like a floodgate bursting open.
She hugged Gu Liyan tightly and burst into tears, her sobs growing louder and louder.
For nearly twenty years, he endured not only the disdainful looks from his relatives and the oppression from his own clan, but also the beatings and curses from a group of strangers.
As an ordinary and frail girl, she suffered inhuman indifference and torment because of her physical condition, and no one offered her any help. How could she survive in this dog-eat-dog world?
"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you from now on." Gu Liyan affectionately ruffled her hair, showing no disgust at her ugly face, and kissed her forehead—
Under the flowers and the moon, a cup of fragrant wine, yet there are neither flowers nor wine, only the gentleman and the beautiful lady embracing each other.
Gu Liyan activated the power of life, causing the plants around the house to gradually grow.
Qianbai watched as every blade of grass and every tree grew at a visible speed under Gu Liyan's spell, and couldn't help but shout excitedly, "They're alive! They're alive again!"
Seeing Qianbai's excited expression, Gu Liyan smiled slightly and said with a doting look, "As long as I'm by your side, only flowers will bloom around you, and no life will wither!"
Hearing Gu Liyan's words, Qianbai's eyes glistened with tears as she struggled to hold them back.
Seeing this, Gu Liyan came to her side and gently wiped away the tears in her eyes. "It's okay. From now on, no matter how sad or painful you are, I will wipe away the tears in your eyes for you!"
Mo Chen in the contract space curled his lip, "She really is a lecherous fox!"
Qianbai kept her head down, her innate inferiority complex making it impossible for her to truly look Gu Liyan in the eye.
Gu Liyan naturally understood what she was thinking. Looking at her face, Gu Liyan raised his hand, clenched his fist, and said with a serious expression, "I, Gu Liyan, swear that in this lifetime I will restore An Qianbai's appearance and make her my bride! If I fail to do so, I am willing to die..."
Qianbai hurriedly reached out and covered Gu Liyan's mouth, "No, don't say it!"
