Despite the continuous night rain, Gu Liyan, disguised as An Qianbai, walked along the road with a smile on her face, holding a red paper umbrella, undeterred by the wind and rain.
Looking at the Shadow Hall not far away, Gu Liyan couldn't hide his joy: "As long as we go in and stay there until tomorrow morning, we can transform into Wang Xian's appearance and sneak out with Xiao Bai to escape from the Shadow Hall!"
Gu Liyan gripped the red umbrella tightly, his gaze resolute. "When the time comes, I'll work with Xiaobai and Mochen to save this inhuman world!"
An umbrella, a red umbrella, drifted through the streets and alleys, and the person holding the umbrella was as beautiful as an angel. Passersby turned their heads and let go of the umbrella...
However, upon closer inspection, one would notice that the woman holding the umbrella had not a single drop of rain on her clothes, and even more surprisingly, her umbrella was also completely dry...
Gu Liyan, smiling, walked into the Shadow Hall, enjoying the admiration of everyone who saw her, yet without any obstacles.
He closed the door, casually placed the umbrella aside, and then transformed into Gu Liyan's original appearance.
His white robes were untouched by the dust of the world, and his exquisitely beautiful face wore an undisguised smile.
"Xiao Bai, I'm back!"
The room was pitch black, without a single ray of light.
Gu Liyan thought that An Qianbai was still vigilant and careful, knowing that they couldn't light the lamp. If someone discovered that An Qianbai, who had left, was still here, they would be unable to explain themselves and would be exposed!
Gu Liyan smiled and said, "I can light the lamps when I get back! Are you afraid of the dark?"
Gu Liyan continued talking to himself, and lit the candles, bringing light to the dark room.
"Xiao Bai, let me tell you, I taught that scoundrel Wang Xian a good lesson. You don't have to worry about him having any improper thoughts about you in the future! Oh, by the way, these are the new clothes that Wang Xian bought for you. I picked them out myself. Do you like them?"
Boom—
A loud clap of thunder outside the door startled Gu Liyan, who immediately shut her mouth. Recalling the scene of being punished by Gu Changyuan's heavenly lightning, the pain was excruciating! Cold sweat poured down her back, and she subconsciously took a few steps back.
Gu Liyan took a few steps back but bumped into someone. Turning around, he saw An Qianbai standing before his saintess with her head bowed. Because An Qianbai's head was bowed, Gu Liyan couldn't see her expression. However, seeing that it was An Qianbai herself, Gu Liyan relaxed his guard, smiled, and went to greet her, taking her hand and saying:
"Xiao Bai, I'm back. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting so long."
Upon hearing Gu Liyan's voice, An Qianbai slowly raised her head, her cold gaze revealing a hint of iciness as she looked at Gu Liyan with indifference.
Seeing An Qianbai's appearance, Gu Liyan's heart tightened. For some reason, he felt that An Qianbai was very different from the one he had met before, or rather, from the one he had first met!
However, Gu Liyan still spoke gently, "Xiao Bai, I'm sorry, you've suffered."
As he spoke, Gu Liyan walked over and pulled An Qianbai to sit down, saying gently, "Xiaobai, are you still angry with me?"
Seeing An Qianbai's indifferent expression and silence, Gu Liyan immediately felt nervous and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault! I didn't think things through before, and I underestimated your father. I'm so useless that I've caused you to come back and suffer again... But don't worry, now that I'm here, I won't abandon you again. If you're in a hurry, we can leave now!"
As he spoke, Gu Liyan pulled An Qianbai to her feet, but the latter remained unmoved and sat there motionless!
Gu Liyan looked at An Qianbai and cautiously asked, "Xiaobai, are you... still blaming me?"
An Qianbai raised her head, her usually indifferent face now bearing a sinister smile, and chuckled coldly as she looked at Gu Liyan's face.
Upon seeing this, Gu Liyan was slightly taken aback, subconsciously taking a few steps back. For some reason, she felt a strong sense of rejection, and a voice inside her was calling out, urging her to leave—
"What? Are you afraid of me?" An Qianbai sneered as she saw Gu Liyan take several steps back.
"No, I, I just... it was a bit cold in the night rain, and I was shivering, so I subconsciously took a step back..." Gu Liyan swallowed, but spoke calmly.
"Oh? Is that so? Since it's cold, why don't you have a cup of hot tea?" An Qianbai said with a smile, then reached out and poured a cup of hot tea, which seemed to have been prepared on the table, and handed it to Gu Liyan.
Gu Liyan took it and glanced at An Qianbai, who had a smile on her face. Although she was a little suspicious, she couldn't refuse An Qianbai's concern for her.
"Thank you..." Gu Liyan said as if possessed, but that one sentence made the two of them inexplicably become so distant.
Watching Gu Liyan drink the tea, An Qianbai smiled slightly and came to Gu Liyan's side. She raised her hand and took the initiative to stroke Gu Liyan's face, saying in a charming and seductive manner, "I never thought that this beautiful face could be so ever-changing. Little Li, you are truly an enigmatic person! Oh no! Perhaps I should call you Lord Fox Demon now!"
Gu Liyan trembled, put down his teacup, and looked at An Qianbai with a sincere expression. "Xiaobai, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I know that all of you are hostile to the demon race. I was worried that you would be conflicted if you knew I was a demon, so I..."
Before Gu Liyan could finish speaking, An Qianbai, with a mocking expression, looked at Gu Liyan coldly and said, "Huh? Conflicted? What's there for me to be conflicted about?"
"What?" Gu Liyan thought he had misheard and looked at An Qianbai with a puzzled expression.
"Hmph, a fully grown demon can transform into a human and change its appearance in countless ways. It also possesses the power of chess and has an extremely beautiful face, comparable to us ordinary mortals..." An Qianbai stroked Gu Liyan's face with her hand, then suddenly pinched Gu Liyan's chin and said without any politeness, "A contracted beast that perfectly matches my identity, why would I hesitate?"
