Leng Shaohan looked down in confusion, only to find that he was frozen from his feet to his knees by ice crystals. He exclaimed in astonishment, "How is this possible?!"
How could he be frozen when he was born with a body of ice?
Just as Leng Shaohan was wondering what was going on, a cold wind suddenly swept over him, and he instinctively looked up. What happened next was something he would probably never forget...
The once refined young man in white suddenly had a sharp gaze, and a peach blossom mark appeared on his handsome face at the corner of his right eye.
But what shocked Leng Shaohan even more was the faint purple lotus flower between the white-robed youth's brows.
Echoing those purple eyes, it was incredibly alluring!
"You, you are!" Leng Shaohan froze on the spot. He clearly remembered what his grandfather had said to him before he died:
Your life-or-death ordeal, your romantic entanglements, all stem from one person... If you hadn't killed him the moment that purple lotus bloomed between his brows, you would have died because of him!
Leng Shaohan stared at Gu Liyan in astonishment. His life-or-death ordeal, his romantic entanglements, were all because of this person…
Unable to shake the ice beneath his feet, unable to break free from the shackles of fate, he could not escape and could only be slaughtered at will!
Leng Shaohan closed his eyes in despair—
Although I failed to revitalize the demon race, I did find a way for them to survive, and I have lived up to my grandfather's teachings!
In the face of life and death, Leng Shaohan showed no fear!
The anticipated killing intent didn't come; instead, the chill slowly faded until the last rays of the setting sun shone on him, and the warmth that seeped into his body awakened him...
Leng Shaohan slowly opened his eyes. Wu Wenfeng and Gu Liyan had disappeared, and his feet were now free.
"He...he let me go?" Leng Shaohan stood there dumbfounded.
For a fleeting moment, he saw death and despair, but...
Ironically, it was the very person who brought death and despair who gave him hope.
Leng Shaohan looked at his hands, stained crimson by the setting sun, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "So this is what it feels like to survive a catastrophe..."
It's so good to be alive!
Leng Shaohan lowered his eyes slightly and suddenly noticed the bloodstains left on the ground not far away. He hurriedly stepped forward and wiped them with his hand. The warm touch must have been left by one of Gu Liyan and the other person!
“I froze that rude brat’s consciousness without harming him in the slightest, so this blood should be…” Leng Shaohan frowned slightly.
The smell of medicine on Gu Liyan's body could only mean that he was taking medication.
"Is he injured? He looks quite badly hurt..." Leng Shaohan frowned, then suddenly smelled a strange fragrance. He subconsciously smelled the blood on his fingertips, and his expression immediately changed. "Could it be that this guy is like me?!"
Just as Leng Shaohan was caught between doubt and excitement, Mo Hua watched coldly from the side, seemingly having observed for a long time, and showed no intention of making a move.
Hurried footsteps came from downstairs, and Mo Hua disappeared into the shadows with a cold face.
"Lord Cold!" Jinwu arrived at the scene and, seeing the ice shards scattered on the ground, hurriedly knelt on one knee. "Lord Cold, your subordinate is late..."
"Stop talking, come with me right now to chase after someone... no! I should say, someone of our kind!" Leng Shaohan said anxiously.

After leaving Wanbao Palace in a hurry, Gu Liyan led Wu Wenfeng to the residence where they had lived before.
"The most dangerous place is the safest place. I think leaving you here shouldn't be dangerous." Gu Liyan tucked Wu Wenfeng in and murmured to himself.
Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth onto his collar. Gu Liyan coughed lightly a few times, but coughed up blood again.
Looking at the dark blood on his hands, Gu Liyan frowned slightly. "I didn't expect... that my body would be tainted with the aura of death... It must be because I just used the power of endless life, and the backlash caused this aura of death to also erode my body..."
Gu Liyan sat to the side, and when he thought of the aura of death, he thought of An Qianbai.
"I wonder how Xiaobai is doing?"
Moonlight streamed into the room. Gu Liyan opened the window and looked at the bright moon, murmuring to himself, "I really want to see her at this time..."
Thinking of An Qianbai, Gu Liyan turned to look at Wu Wenfeng, who was still asleep, raised his hand to set up an array, and then turned and left.
Since longing is like a tide
Then let's go see the "sea".
...
Since An Qianbai took over the management of the Royal Casino, her status as a wealthy heiress has been secured, and her fame has only grown.
However, beneath this glamorous life, even with a smile on her face, it wasn't genuine.
Back in her room, her weary smile had become stiff and unnatural. Only then did she realize how incredibly tiring it was to live with a mask on...
Sitting in front of the mirror, looking at her face in the moonlight, she was beautiful and her face was flawless. However, every time she saw her face, she had an urge to destroy it.
"An Qianbai, why did you survive instead of him? You should have stayed with him! You're such a coward!"
An Qianbai smiled bitterly and spoke to herself in the mirror.
"If you die, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?"
An Qianbai suddenly paused, turned her head and looked at the boy in white clothes and wearing a mask at the window.
"Who...who are you?"
Gu Liyan looked at An Qianbai with gentle eyes and said, "We've met before."
An Qianbai looked at Gu Liyan in surprise, then suddenly came to her senses. "You, you're Mo Chen's friend, right? Why are you here again? Did Mo Chen send you to borrow money?"
Gu Liyan was both amused and exasperated. Borrowing money was one reason, but he really hadn't thought of it!
