Boom—
The thunderstorm outside the window intensified, and the deafening thunder made Gu Liyan tremble all over.
She said—
She said contracted beasts?
Does she intend to make me her contracted beast?!
An Qianbai pinched his chin so hard it hurt, and a sudden fear rose in Gu Liyan's heart, but he still refused to believe the truth. The woman in his heart would never say such a thing!
"Xiao Bai, what...what do you mean?" Gu Liyan swallowed hard, her eyes pleading, expectant, and with a touch of pitiful vulnerability.
"Huh? Gu Liyan, are you really stupid or just pretending?!" An Qianbai couldn't help but burst into laughter when she saw Gu Liyan's delicate and pitiful face. "Hahaha, judging from your appearance, you wouldn't actually have fallen for me, would you?"
Gu Liyan felt a sharp pain in his heart. He looked at An Qianbai in disbelief. How could she be so heartless as to say such a thing to him!
Gu Liyan's face paled slightly as she stared at the familiar figure in disbelief.
The sincerity, gentleness, and expectation in his eyes were all so base and despicable!
An Qianbai squinted at Gu Liyan. In his eyes, she truly understood everything, yet her words remained cold and detached.
"Gu Liyan, you don't actually think you've won my heart, do you? Or do you think that because I used your ability to restore your original appearance, you're qualified to stay with me forever?"
Gu Liyan stared blankly at An Qianbai. Her words were like knives, piercing his heart!
His heart was rejecting all of this, but the cold temperature from An Qianbai's hands felt so real!
"Gu Liyan! You're so naive!"
Gu Liyan shuddered. Was he naive?
He is indeed naive!
He naively believed that as long as he was by her side, he could protect her for life, but the repeated losses caused him endless pain and self-blame...
He was already exhausted, but he kept going. No one would call that naive or foolish!
Gu Liyan's throat bobbed slightly, his eyes reddened, and he looked at An Qianbai, choking back tears as he spoke, "So...so you...you're going to kill me...?"
"Kill you?" An Qianbai raised an eyebrow, squinting at Gu Liyan. How could she not understand Gu Liyan's true feelings for her?
"Heh, killing you would be a waste of your sincerity towards me. Since you like me so much, why don't you sign a contract with me and become my contracted beast for all eternity?"
Gu Liyan stared at An Qianbai in astonishment. So, she intended to keep him under her control for the rest of his life!
But he hadn't completed his mission in the Nine Springs Realm, so how could he agree to her request?
"I'm sorry, Xiao Bai... I... I can't be your contracted beast..."
Upon hearing this, An Qianbai rushed to Gu Liyan, grabbed his collar, and scolded, "Gu Liyan! You said you were willing to take care of me for the rest of your life! You've already revealed your identity as a demon. Do you think you have any other ideas to stay by my side besides becoming my contracted beast?"
Gu Liyan hung his head, dejected, and said with a bitter smile, "I won't cause you any trouble, I will... I will leave you..."
Leaving her is the only way to prevent her from getting involved in my crisis. Even if I never see her again in this life, as long as she's happy and content...
An Qianbai's eyes were bloodshot as she gripped Gu Liyan's collar tightly. "You want to escape? Heh! What I, An Qianbai, have set my sights on, no one can take away! And I certainly won't let him leave on his own!"
Gu Liyan looked up at An Qianbai, his face full of hesitation, and said, "Stop it, Xiaobai. I have things to do, so I can't be your contracted beast. If... if you're willing, how about I come back to be your contracted beast after I've finished my business? Then, I will definitely obey your orders!"
Snap—
Gu Liyan shuddered, the burning pain on his face so vivid...
He looked at An Qianbai, who had raised her hand and slapped him, with some confusion.
An Qianbai pointed at Gu Liyan's chest and said:
"Gu Liyan, let me tell you, you have no right to negotiate with me now! You can't even protect me, let alone accomplish your mission. You're just a useless piece of trash with broken meridians! I'm giving you the chance to accompany me for the rest of your life, to fulfill your life's wish. I'm granting you that wish. You should be thanking me, not disobeying my orders!"
Gu Liyan was going crazy listening to An Qianbai's words. How could she have become so unreasonable? And even so heartless as to hurt herself!
His Flower Fairy
His Su Xian'er
His Mulan
His Gu Yixian
That's not how it works!
Is this her?
Is this really her?
Gu Liyan felt a sweet taste in his throat. He was so angry that he felt like vomiting blood. Who on earth had turned her into this state?
This shouldn't be happening! The people he's protecting shouldn't be like this!
Gu Liyan looked at An Qianbai with a conflicted expression. Wasn't this her own idea? Was it just something imposed on her and forced upon her?
Gu Liyan thought for a moment, then grabbed An Qianbai's hand and pressed her for an answer, "Xiaobai, tell me, this isn't what you wanted, is it? This is just a demand your father made of you, isn't it! You wouldn't do this to me! You wouldn't do this to me!"
An Qianbai felt a sharp pain from Gu Liyan's grip, and pushed his hand away with a look of disgust, coldly saying:
"Gu Liyan, you need to understand one thing: in this dog-eat-dog world, survival is the only truth. As for the true love in your mind, that's just a trick to fool children!"
Hearing An Qianbai's cold, ruthless, and even heartless words, Gu Liyan's face turned deathly pale.
