The flames spread, relentlessly engulfing Gu Liyan, trying to completely engulf him...
The arrow that pierced his chest from behind was seeping crimson blood, staining Gu Liyan's spotless white robes. His rapid breathing sounded heavy.
"Gu Liyan! Don't blame me for not giving you a way out if you don't surrender!" Duan Tianqi's voice came from outside the door. He turned to the prepared archers and ordered, "Fire!"
Whoosh whoosh——
"Ah..." Countless arrows shot at him again. Gu Liyan had nowhere to hide and was hit by arrows again. He tried to crawl behind the table to hide, but an arrow flew by and pierced his right leg.
"Ugh..." Gu Liyan groaned, his face contorted in pain, and all his remaining strength dissipated.
Gu Liyan collapsed to the ground, a bitter smile on her face: "At this point, what am I struggling for...?"
The fiery serpent came towards him, but Gu Liyan felt no heat at all. Protected by his Xuanbing Domain, even though he was riddled with holes, he completely ignored the flames.
At this moment, if he could simply crush the Nine Springs Token, he could return to the Nine Springs Realm and never have to concern himself with anything in this world again, including her—
“She doesn’t trust me, she’s never trusted me from beginning to end! In this life, she’s not only powerful, but also intelligent and brave; she doesn’t need my protection at all…”
Gu Liyan gave a bitter smile. No matter what she did, she still doubted herself.
Let's just go back like this.
In any case, some people have already realized that they want to unify the world.
Anyway, she's strong enough to protect herself.
It's just a matter of time. For Gu Liyan, staying here is already dispensable!
Gu Liyan closed her eyes in despair, tears falling to the ground and quickly evaporating in the flames...
Go back, in this world, it's already...
Nobody cares about you anymore!
"Gu Liyan!"
That familiar voice, that concerned call, sent a shiver down Gu Liyan's spine.
Turning his head, he saw that the Gate of Chaos was not closed. He saw Qingge looking at him with anxious and deep affection, and he could hardly believe what he was seeing. "Qing, Qingqing..."
"Gu Liyan! What are you standing there for? Come here quickly!" Qingge urged hurriedly when she saw that Gu Liyan was still conscious.
Gu Liyan stared blankly at Qingge, momentarily forgetting how to speak: Why didn't she leave? Was she waiting for me? Did she believe me?
"You, you..." Gu Liyan's throat was hoarse, and he couldn't speak because of the smoke.
Just then, another volley of arrows shot into the room. Gu Liyan's attention was entirely on Qingge, so he did not dodge at all and was hit by two more arrows.
"Ah! Watch out, Gu Liyan!" Qingge hurriedly warned.
Gu Liyan cried out in pain and collapsed heavily to the ground.
Qingge cried uncontrollably, "Gu Liyan! You stupid fox! Come here right now! Waaah, come here right now! I'll take you to the Weilong Kingdom to heal your wounds! Come here right now!"
Gu Liyan had been hit by countless arrows and bled profusely. The pool of blood on the ground terrified Qingge, who turned pale with fright.
"Gu Liyan, come here quickly! Don't die! Waaah, I'll agree to anything if you come here. You can come with me to Weilong Kingdom, or become a divine beast of Weilong Kingdom, just don't die! Please..." Qingge said anxiously.
Gu Liyan slowly raised his head to look at Qingge, raised his hand, but no longer had the strength to get up.
Upon seeing this, Qingge crossed the Chaos Domain without saying a word and returned to her former room.
Gu Liyan's pupils contracted, and he stared blankly at Qingge, who had reappeared in front of him, before snapping out of his daze and hurriedly saying, "Go! Go... Go away..."
As Qingge listened to Gu Liyan's hoarse voice, tears streamed down her face, whether from the surrounding heat or from other emotions...
"Qingqing...you have to go..." Gu Liyan pointed at the Gate of Chaos and said, "The gate, the gate is about to close, you, you have to go, don't worry about me..."
Qingge squatted down and, without saying a word, pulled the arrow out of Gu Liyan's body.
"Ah—" Gu Liyan screamed in pain, looking at Qingge with a puzzled expression.
Qingge held nine arrows stained with Gu Liyan's blood in her hand. Looking at the still-dripping arrows, Qingge gazed at Gu Liyan with heartache, took a deep breath, and said, "Everyone who hurt you, I will make them die!"
Gu Liyan stared wide-eyed at Qingge. It was the first time he had ever heard such words of defense from his "Xiao Bai".
Qingge stood in front of Gu Liyan, and the nine arrows seemed to come alive, floating in front of her.
Her eyes were icy, carrying an unwavering resolve that seemed to conquer the world, and she declared in a loud voice:
"No one is allowed to touch my people except me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the arrows in the room floated up and, led by the nine arrows, shot out in unison.
"Ahhh—"
The next second, screams erupted outside the door, and it was clear that Duan Tianqi's men had suffered heavy losses.
Gu Liyan was stunned for a moment, and Qingge had already come to his side. Seeing that Gu Liyan was covered in blood, Qingge gently helped him up, said nothing, and walked towards the Gate of Chaos.
Through the chaos, he gained her trust, and she, in turn, won his heart...
Gu Liyan looked at Qingge's resolute face and smiled slightly: Xiao Bai, is it your turn to protect me in this life?
Having just stepped out of the chaos, Gu Liyan could no longer hold on, and all his weight pressed down on Qingge.
"Oh my god!" Qingge was suddenly pressed down into Gu Liyan's arms, the weight of which almost made her breathless. She immediately said irritably, "Gu Liyan! You stupid fox! Get up right now!"
