Around noon, a beam of red light suddenly shot out from the center of Sky City. The dazzling red light shot straight into the sky, transforming into a celestial abode that connected with the heavens.
Upon witnessing this phenomenon, Yin Yang arrived at Gu Liyan's room and hurriedly began, "Gu..."
Before he could call Gu Liyan's name, he saw Gu Liyan lying on the bed, fast asleep, with Xiaolong and Xiaohu standing guard beside him, looking at him with threatening eyes. He immediately fell silent and did not continue speaking.
Upon seeing Yin Yang walk in, Xiao Hu immediately curled his lip and glared at Yin Yang with a look of disgust. For some reason, he felt inexplicably displeased with Yin Yang.
It's possible that Yin Yang harbored resentment because he didn't offer to help when they first met.
Xiao Long scrutinized Yin Yang, his brows furrowed, but he still asked in a low voice, "What do you want with Gu Liyan?"
Yin Yang glanced at Xiao Long, then told him the truth without hiding anything:
"The Heavenly Palace's sacrificial ceremony should be starting soon, and his woman will be offered as a sacrifice, so I wanted to inform him..."
Xiao Long glanced at Gu Liyan, who was still fast asleep, and snorted coldly, saying, "Hmph, the offering as a sacrifice is a pretense; the real purpose is to force Gu Liyan to appear, isn't it?"
Yin Yang was slightly taken aback, not expecting that Xiao Long would reveal the truth so easily. He pursed his lips and remained silent, feeling a little guilty.
Xiao Long stood up, walked up to Yin Yang, and coldly spoke:
"I don't know what Gu Liyan's enemies' motives are, but I suspect—you must have your own agenda regarding Gu Liyan now, right?"
Xiao Long stared at Yin Yang with a suspicious look. "Or are you in cahoots with those people?"
Yin Yang looked at Xiao Long, her amber eyes gleaming with shrewdness. She blinked, but offered no explanation. Instead, she turned to Gu Liyan and softly said, "You two take good care of Gu Liyan..."
After saying that, Yin Yang turned and left.
Watching Yin Yang turn and leave with a cold expression, Xiao Hu couldn't help but curse, "Pah! What a piece of trash! I knew he wasn't genuinely helping Gu Liyan! Look at his attitude!"
Xiao Long glared at Xiao Hu, then looked at Gu Liyan, only to see that Gu Liyan had opened her eyes, her gaze empty and seemingly fixed on nothing in particular.
Upon seeing this, the little tiger immediately shut its mouth.
"Gu Liyan, don't mind him. Xiao Hu was just expressing his personal opinion."
Seeing Gu Liyan's worried expression, Xiaolong felt for some reason that he cared about Gu Liyan's mood at the moment, so he spoke up for Yin Yang.
Gu Liyan slowly sat up, and spoke with a calm and composed expression:
"I have never doubted my friends, you are no exception, Yin and Yang... are no exception either!"
Gu Liyan spoke with certainty.
Xiao Long looked at Gu Liyan with a surprised expression: So, what Gu Liyan means is—
Are they already friends?
Gu Liyan lowered her head, blushing slightly at her exposed chest. She immediately and awkwardly fastened her belt, inwardly complaining, "Don't these guys know the principle of 'don't look at what is improper'? Even sword spirits and demonic beasts should know this basic rule!"
Gu Liyan's embarrassed face immediately turned red. Xiao Hu, with his straight-laced expression, didn't notice the change in Gu Liyan's expression, but Xiao Long seemed to sense something and asked with concern:
"You still need to rest. Wouldn't it be dangerous for you to go out like this?"
Gu Liyan waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's okay. I'm not that delicate. Besides, this isn't the first or second time I've lost my life essence. I recover very quickly."
Xiao Hu, who was drinking water nearby, almost choked on his water when he heard Gu Liyan's words. "Cough cough? I bet this isn't the first or second time you've done this! I'm telling you, buddy, you need to be more careful! Not everyone deserves to be saved by you like Xiao Long and I do!"
This time, Xiaolong didn't criticize Xiaohu's words. Instead, he wholeheartedly agreed, "Yes, although the lifespan of demons is long, it can't withstand your kind of recklessness. If you exhaust this last drop of your life force, your foundation will be completely destroyed!"
Gu Liyan knew they were worried about him and smiled reassuringly, "Don't worry, as long as we win this time, I will still be the energetic Gu Liyan I always am!"
Xiao Long was still a little worried when he saw that Gu Liyan's face was a bit pale. "How about this, while we still have some time, Xiao Long and I will use our essence blood to help you heal your external injuries."
"What?" Gu Liyan thought he had misheard. The blood essence of their dragon and tiger clans was extraordinary.
Before Gu Liyan could ask any questions, Xiaolong had already started making arrangements: "Xiaohu, go and call that Yue Yang guy, hurry up and prepare the bathwater."
Gu Liyan smiled bitterly. How much did they hate Yin Yang? They had said his name so many times and still couldn't remember it. Moreover, the source of their communication with him was still Yin Yang, who was asked to boil the bathwater!
Will Yin and Yang get angry?
"Hey! You!" Little Tiger shouted as he saw Yin and Yang observing the Sky City in the courtyard.
Yin Yang turned his head and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Yes, it's you! What was that yin day again?" Little Tiger asked with an impatient expression.
Yin Yang was speechless. Was his own name really that hard to remember?
Although somewhat annoyed, he still stepped forward and asked, "What do you want?"
"Hurry up and prepare the bath water, we need it," Xiao Hu urged.
Yin Yang's face darkened. "At a time like this, you still have the mind to take a bath?"
"Stop talking nonsense! It's for Gu Liyan's healing! Hurry up! Don't delay!" Xiao Hu said, turning around and going back to his room without hesitation.
Yin Yang's face lit up with joy. "Could it be that they have a way to restore Gu Liyan?"
Yin Yang didn't dare to delay and hurriedly went to prepare the bathwater.
The little dragon, who was secretly observing Yin and Yang, frowned slightly and asked with some doubt:
