Lei Che yawned. "This kid is too green!"
Gu Liyan was pale. Not only was he ignored by Luo Zichen and the others, but they also threw him onto the lawn. They curiously peered out the window at Yin Yang and Xuan Qing'er.
"I said, can you guys do something about me...?" Gu Liyan looked helpless.
Still failing to garner attention, Gu Liyan could only sigh helplessly and take out the Thread of Fate to cast a spell on Xuan Qing'er and Yin Yang—
The ring fingers of their right hands were tied together with the "Thread of Fate," and their faces flushed red as their eyes met, becoming intensely passionate.
"Yin and Yang, I..."
"Qing'er..."
The crowd peering through the window watched with excited expressions, and just as they were about to witness a good show, Gu Liyan swiftly closed the window—
"Do not look at what is improper!"

Demon Conference
Bu Yunrui watched Mo Chen with an expression of anticipation, but the latter, just like last time, remained oblivious and continued drinking his hot tea.
Cang Mu, without changing his expression, asked, "Strategist, the losses this time have been heavy. Do you have any new countermeasures?"
"That's how battles are; not everything goes as planned. As for countermeasures, the best one is to have the Holy Maiden appear. Regardless of the outcome of the match, we will achieve our goal!" Mo Chen suddenly smiled slightly, seemingly unconcerned about the casualties.
“But the casualties and losses this time are heavy. Strategist, you must stabilize the morale of the troops,” Bu Yunrui said with a half-smile.
"Your words are a bit too harsh, Holy Son. Sacrifices are inevitable when it comes to achieving great things. Besides, didn't the Celestial Clan also lose a great general?" Mo Chen said indifferently.
“The strategist is right, I was overthinking it,” Bu Yunrui said, his gaze turning cold.
As he spoke, Bu Yunrui turned to look at the expressionless Cang Yue and said, "Moon Saintess, you must seize this opportunity to redeem yourself and return victorious!"
Cang Yue remained calm, completely unconcerned about winning or losing, and coldly replied, "I understand!"
To everyone's surprise, Mo Chen didn't hold the paper fan in his hand, but instead played with the ring on his finger and said, "Clan leader, I see that the Holy Son is in good health recently. Why don't we go together tomorrow to witness this unification battle?"
Not only was Bu Yunrui taken aback, but Cang Mu, who was sitting in the upper seat, was also surprised. Hua Baixian, who was sitting on the side, looked at Mo Chen with a smile on his face, wondering what bad idea he was up to.
Bu Yunrui squinted, lost in thought, and did not speak.
Cangmu coughed once. "Ahem, since that's the case, Holy Son, tomorrow you will go to the Celestial Clan with the strategist!"
"Yes!" Bu Yunrui replied without further thought.
Mo Chen looked at Bu Yunrui with a smile, as if he had made up his mind.
After the meeting, Hua Baixian went straight back to her room, while Cang Yue left with a heavy heart and went back to her room.
Mo Chen and Bu Yunrui, on the other hand, seemed to have made an appointment, sitting in their seats and looking at each other.
“Mo Chen, you came to the Demon Clan to demonstrate your strength, resorting to despicable means of sneak attack to severely injure me, all for the sake of obtaining the position of strategist and commanding the demon generals, right? Now why are you asking me to go to the battlefield with you? What exactly do you mean by this?” Bu Yunrui said coldly.
"Hehe, Holy Son, you were hostile to Mo Chen from the very beginning. Back then, I was still arrogant and proud, so I couldn't help but attack you. As for now, the battle between the two armies has reached a decisive moment, and it is the two of us who need to join forces to fight the enemy." Mo Chen said with a smile, "Holy Son, you can rest assured, tomorrow the command will be entirely in your hands!"
“You…” Bu Yunrui frowned, unable to understand Mo Chen’s line of thinking.
"Tomorrow, the Demon Clan will unify the two realms. Holy Son, you must personally step forward to hand over the reins!" Mo Chen stood up, opened his paper fan, and said with a smile, "Mo Chen has always supported the Holy Son!"
I hope you're telling the truth!
After saying that, Bu Yunrui stood up and left.
Watching Bu Yunrui leave, Mo Chen narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Hmph, I'll see how you handle tomorrow's upheaval!"

The darkness that had banished Gu Liyan left her momentarily disoriented, unable to distinguish reality from illusion...
In this world where the Celestials have no night and the Demons have no day; in these two extreme worlds, the Outer Heaven and the Outer Mountain, how did he end up in this irreversible situation?
Lying on the soft, natural grass, Gu Liyan had already recovered her depleted life force, but she was filled with countless thoughts about the past.
He closed his eyes, overwhelmed by the many unforeseen events that had unfolded recently: his unexpected arrival at the Heavenly Palace after fighting with Gu Changyuan, his acquaintance and friendship with Hua Baixian, his recognition of the ancient precepts left behind by the White Emperor, and his involvement in the conflict between the Celestial Clan and the Demon Clan…
He suddenly felt as if he were being gripped by the invisible hand of fate, unable to break free, and even sinking deeper and deeper...
"The more confused you are, the less you should look back!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice reached his ears. Gu Liyan opened his eyes and saw Yin Yang, who was also dressed in white, lying beside him. He was taken aback and asked, "You, how did you get out?"
"Qing'er is asleep. I came out for a stroll and saw you looking preoccupied." He spoke with a sly smile, then flipped his hand and produced three jars of wine, placing them in front of him. "Feeling down? Come and have a drink!"
He then filled the glass to the brim.
Gu Liyan sighed, picked up his wine cup, and drank it all in one gulp. Yin Yang, due to his physical condition, only took a small sip.
"It's very bright, isn't it?" Yin Yang asked, looking at the sky.
Gu Liyan nodded. "Yes..."
"Do you like this kind of sky?" Yin Yang asked, gazing at the heavens. "Is there ever no darkness, only eternal light?"
