Hua Baixian's cheeks burned as she looked at Gu Liyan, who had been left alone in the Flower Grief Pool, and then at Xuan Qing'er, who was staring at her angrily. She immediately shouted, "What do you know? I killed him! He died because I abandoned him. I have to stay with him. Otherwise—he'll be too lonely, won't he?"
With a pale, wan face, she looked at the wound in Gu Liyan's heart and sighed, "You know he's lonely, so why did you betray his feelings? Don't you believe in his sincerity towards you at all?"
Hua Baixian looked at Yin Yang and cried out, "I know, of course I know, but what can I do? We can't live or die together. His life is my death. The life-and-death pact prevents us from being together. How can I bear to ask him to give up? I just want him to know that he can't protect me, to give me up, but... but why..."
Hua Baixian gripped Gu Liyan's collar tightly, roaring in agony, "Why are you so stubborn! You'd rather die than not love me!"
"Don't underestimate the love he admires!" Rui Xin stepped forward with a gloomy face, looking at Hua Baixian with anger in her eyes. "In the end, you don't understand him at all!"
"If you knew him, how could you have made a bet with Mo Chen and fallen for his trick? Tell me, do you even deserve to like him?"
Hua Baixian stared blankly at Rui Xin, unable to refute her accusations at all.
Rui Xin clenched her fists, her face still youthful, but her tone was sharp: "His heart has already been certified by the true soul of the Flower Goddess, while your heart has long been tainted by long-standing resentment and hatred!"
"Though bound by a life-and-death pact, we share the same roots but walk different paths. Life and death are born from the same root, so the stronger he becomes, the stronger you become, and I think the resentment deep in your heart will also grow stronger! In the end, you just want to get revenge on him, deliberately making him pay for you, right?"
"Xin'er!" Yin Yang hurriedly spoke up to stop her.
Hua Baixian's eyes were vacant; did she harbor resentment towards Gu Liyan?
No, how could that be!
He always has to protect himself!
But when he was needed most, he wasn't there for me!
Licheng is destroyed, and all the fear in Huashangchi has taken over his heart!
Hua Baixian covered her head, "No, no... I don't resent Xiao Li, I don't, I don't!"
Rui Xin looked at Hua Baixian with a cold gaze, "The resentment hidden within you is the culprit that killed Gu Liyan! Don't deny that you haven't thought for a moment that Gu Liyan would die for you!"
Hua Baixian trembled all over; she had thought about it.
Gu Liyan only lived for himself, because he had promised to protect him, so...
He could only die for himself!
die……
So, she really wanted to know if he would die for her...
Hua Baixian suddenly froze, looked at Mo Chen, pointed at him, and shouted, "Mo Chen, you lied to me!"
Mo Chen smiled slightly. "It seems you've remembered. The real bet is—"
"Would Gu Liyan die for you?!"
"You despicable bastard, I'm going to kill you!" Hua Baixian's face was streaked with blood and tears as she looked at Mo Chen with eyes full of murderous intent.
Hua Baixian attacked Mo Chen like a red lightning bolt, but Mo Chen raised his paper fan to block her fist. "You think you can hurt me!"
"Ah—" Overwhelmed with grief, Hua Baixian gathered her dying aura in her hands and struck Mo Chen repeatedly.
Mo Chen sneered repeatedly, "You don't even know any moves. Compared to everyone else, you're nothing more than someone who exudes the aura of death. You're really pathetic!"
"You bastard, die—" Blood and tears froze on Hua Baixian's face, making her look like a terrifying witch.
"He's really weak, not even as good as Gu Liyan in one move. Speaking of which, he'll never have a chance to live again. I'm really glad! Hahaha!" Mo Chen laughed loudly.
"Ahhh—Mo Chen—go to hell—" Hua Baixian's screams were heart-wrenching.
Seeing the two locked in fierce combat, Xuan Qing'er had already drawn her sword, ready to fight. "Should we go help Hua Baixian?"
Yin Yang shook his head and said, "I think Mo Chen is deliberately provoking Hua Baixian, forcing her to vent her resentment. What exactly is he trying to do?"
Watching Mo Chen and Hua Baixian battle, the outcome remained undecided.
Hua Baixian, panting heavily, looked at Mo Chen, whose breathing was steady, and for a moment had no means to fight back.
“If Gu Liyan can’t beat me, then you have even less chance!” Mo Chen said with a smile.
"You deserve to die—" Hua Baixian gritted her teeth and spat out a mouthful of blood. "Ugh—"
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Hua Baixian felt weak all over, experiencing a sense of weakness and stinging in her soul.
"It looks like it's done!" Mo Chen said with a smile.
"You, what did you say—" Hua Baixian glared angrily at Mo Chen. Every word he uttered enraged her, making her blood boil.
"Heh heh, I'm telling you, the death energy within you has successfully backfired!" Opening his paper fan, Mo Chen's wicked smile resembled that of a judge from hell. "Soon, the death energy within you will turn against you, merging your soul into the resentment of death!"
Hua Baixian stared blankly at Mo Chen, forgetting to attack him. His meaning was—
She's about to die? Impossible! How could she possibly die?
She possesses the aura of death!
"You don't need to doubt it anymore. The life and death contract evolved naturally based on sacrifice. Your death contract, to put it nicely, is called possession; to put it bluntly, it's devouring. It attaches itself to a living being and slowly devours your life force, leaving only death energy, so that you can become the next pitiful sacrifice!" Mo Chen looked at her incredulous face and said, "Oh, by the way, all the dead are buried in that Flower Lament Pool!"
"Ugh—" Hua Baixian spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed. "How...could this be..."
