"Don't you know our lives are tied together? If anything happens to you, I'll die with you! We've both lived for over a thousand years, don't you have any sense of awareness at all? I think we really should change our contract! If you do this a few more times, I'm about to get angina!"
Not only did Wu Wenfeng stare blankly at Mo Chen, but even Jin Yi was stunned. They clearly heard Mo Chen say, "I have lived for over a thousand years!"
This...this is practically a monster!
Both of them were thinking the same thing.
But as soon as the thought came to mind, the two froze again, and the previous phrase "dead fox" made perfect sense!
But then another question arises: it makes sense if Gu Liyan is a thousand years old as a fox spirit, but what about Mo Chen, who is a thousand years old...?
Are you sure you've graduated from elementary school in math?!
Gu Liyan looked at the furious Mo Chen, and the bewildered Wu Wenfeng and Jin Yi, and simply smiled, "It's good that you're here..."
As he spoke, Gu Liyan suddenly felt dizzy and his body went limp, causing him to fall to the ground.
Mo Chen reacted quickly and helped Gu Liyan up, "You rascal, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Liyan looked at Mo Chen and felt dizzy, her chest tight and unable to breathe, unable to speak for a long time.
Upon seeing this, Wu Wenfeng and Jin Yi hurriedly ran forward.
Seeing Gu Liyan covered in cold sweat and with a pale face, Wu Wenfeng became worried. "Brother Gu, are you alright...?"
Jin Yi glanced at Gu Liyan, who had no injuries, and asked with some confusion, "Lord Gu, are you feeling unwell?"
Gu Liyan gritted his teeth and endured the pain, saying, "I'm... fine..."
Mo Chen frowned and touched his pulse, his pupils immediately contracting. "How could this be... Have you lost too much blood? Why is there less than half of your blood left in your body! Also, how did you deplete so much of your soul power?! Gu Liyan, what happened to you! If you don't want us to die together, tell me quickly!"
Gu Liyan glanced at Mo Chen, waved her hand, and said weakly, "I really, I'm fine... Let's go, take me with you..."
Mo Chen gritted his teeth and carried Gu Liyan on his back. The weight on his back felt as light as a breeze...
Mo Chen frowned, recalling what he had just said to Gu Liyan. He turned to look at Gu Liyan and said softly, "Gu Liyan, don't worry... I won't let you die!"
Gu Liyan smiled slightly, "Don't worry... I won't die before the mission is completed!"
Mo Chen looked up and happened to see Wu Wenfeng and Jin Yi looking at them with curious eyes. He said softly:
"If there are any problems, let's talk about them when we get back."
Wu Wenfeng nodded without saying anything. He trusted Gu Liyan and, without hesitation, trusted Mo Chen!
However, Jin Yi stepped forward, glanced at Mo Chen, then at the weak Gu Liyan, and said with a determined look, "Let me carry Gu Shengjun."
Mo Chen was slightly taken aback, wondering why Jin Yi would say that. He glanced at Gu Liyan on his back with a questioning expression.
Gu Liyan patted Mo Chen on the shoulder without saying anything, and Mo Chen understood and put him down.
Seeing that Gu Liyan and Mo Chen trusted him, Jin Yi said earnestly, "No matter who you are or what your background is, you are now the Ancient Saint King! You are the chosen one of Heaven chosen by the Heavenly Palace, and this will never change once it is confirmed. Protecting you is my responsibility for the rest of my life!"
Wu Wenfeng looked at Jin Yi with surprise. He didn't expect that Jin Yi, who came from Tianfu, could accept the fact that Gu Liyan was a demon so easily!
That's fucking amazing!
Returning along the same route, Gu Liyan slept the whole way, and the group moved much more quietly.
Mo Chen looked down at Gu Liyan on Jin Yi's back with some confusion.
"What are you thinking about?" Jin Yi asked softly.
"Hmm?" Mo Chen frowned slightly, glanced at Gu Liyan, and did not speak.
“He’s very tired and sleeping soundly, so don’t worry about us talking waking him up,” Jin Yi said.
Mo Chen nodded. "He... almost died."
Jin Yi sighed, "It's my fault for not protecting him well."
"No, the one who said that was me." Mo Chen looked at Gu Liyan and said, "I am his weapon, the one who can protect him! I wasn't by his side when he was adventuring..."
Hearing Mo Chen's words, Wu Wenfeng looked at Mo Chen and said, "Big brother, you, you and Gu Liyan..."
"Xiao Feng, there's something else I've never told you..." Mo Chen pursed his lips and began, "Actually... I'm already dead!"
Jin Yi's pupils contracted and her eyes widened as she stared at Mo Chen. "What?!"
Wu Wenfeng stood rooted to the spot, staring at Mo Chen in astonishment.
"If I don't die, how can I become someone else's weapon?" Mo Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I could be considered the spirit of the weapon in Gu Liyan's hands..."
"Brother, what are you saying? You're still standing right in front of me, how could you be dead?" Wu Wenfeng's hands trembled slightly.
Mo Chen sighed. He knew that Wu Wenfeng wouldn't be able to accept it if he told him, but that was the truth, and how could he hide it for a lifetime?
“No one can live a lifetime, let alone more than a thousand years. The reason I am strong is because I have experienced too much life and death, too much separation, and too many battles. I am different from you.” Mo Chen said to Wu Wenfeng.
"Brother, what do you mean by this?" Wu Wenfeng suddenly had a bad feeling.
“What I mean is… Xiao Feng, we can’t go back… we can’t go back to the way things were,” Mo Chen said.
