Gu Liyan raised his eyes slightly upon hearing Qingge's words. "Get up? I'm already too weak! How could I possibly have the strength to get up?"
Gu Liyan rolled his eyes and simply pretended to be dead! He was actually quite comfortable in this position!
"Gu Liyan! Get up right now!" Qingge tried to push Gu Liyan away, but before she could even exert any force, her hands were already stained red with his blood.
Not only were his actions gentle, but his tone of voice also changed completely: "Gu Liyan, are you alright?"
Hearing the change in Qingge's tone, Gu Liyan didn't dare to be too presumptuous. After all, he was covered in injuries, and even ten of him couldn't defeat one Qingge. He decided to stop while he was ahead...
"It's alright..." Gu Liyan responded softly, then struggled to roll over and get off Qingge.
Qingge calmed down a bit, then said irritably, "You're pretending to be dead when nothing's wrong, you're such a sly fox! Just wait until you're better, see how I deal with you..."
Before she could continue speaking, Qingge suddenly felt a warm, damp sensation on her chest. Looking down, she saw that her clothes were stained red with Gu Liyan's blood. Looking at Gu Liyan again, she saw him lying on the ground, completely unconscious.
"Hello? Hello! Gu Liyan!" Qingge rushed to his side.
Gu Liyan's last glimpse was of Qingge's anxious gaze, her eyes still glistening with tears...
—At night, the lights in the village are faintly visible.
Ding ding ding
"Who is it? Why are you knocking on the door so late at night!" Sixteen-year-old Li Hao was home alone and hadn't gone to sleep when he heard a knocking sound at the door.
Upon opening the door, a beautiful woman stood before him. Li Hao subconsciously swallowed hard. "A fairy..."
"Hello, may I stay the night? I'll pay." Qingge looked Li Hao up and down, seeing his youthful face and innocent admiration, and smiled as she spoke.
"Sure, sure! Of course, no problem!" Li Hao stepped aside without saying a word. "Fairy sister, please come in."
Qingge didn't go in immediately. Instead, she pointed to the bamboo forest in the distance and said, "My husband is injured. Can you help me?"
"Oh? Fairy Sister, you have a husband?" Li Hao sighed with a bitter face, "What a pity, we are destined to be apart!"
Qingge smiled awkwardly, "My husband is seriously injured, please help me as soon as possible."
"No problem, helping others is Li Hao's duty!" Li Hao patted his chest and said.
Qingge nodded. "Then I'll trouble you. He's in the bamboo forest. Please come with me."
"No problem, no problem."
Qingge led Li Hao to the bamboo forest, where Li Hao immediately saw a man in white leaning against a tree, covered in blood and breathing weakly, his face obscured by smoke.
"This, this brother..." Li Hao had never seen many people who had bled so much and still survived, but this man in front of him was definitely one!
"Could you please help me?" Qingge asked sincerely.
"Okay, okay, leave it to me." Li Hao hurriedly picked up Gu Liyan.
The two returned to Li Hao's home. Li Hao carefully placed Gu Liyan on his bed and looked at them with some suspicion as he examined the wounds on Gu Liyan's body.
Qingge noticed his gaze and hurriedly took out some silver and stuffed it into Li Hao's hand, saying, "This is for our accommodation fee."
Li Hao was startled when he saw it. "So many?!"
Qingge nodded and said earnestly, "We come from the palace and have a special identity, so please keep it a secret. Also..."
Qingge glanced at Gu Liyan and said, "It would be best if you could get me some medicine."
"Oh, no problem! Fairy sister, go find your first-aid kit right away." Li Hao hurriedly ran out, feeling a little flustered carrying so much money!
Qingge picked up a towel from the side, dipped it in water, and wiped Gu Liyan's face. Soon, his beautiful face became clean.
But the paleness of his face was particularly noticeable. Qingge stared blankly at Gu Liyan.
"Gu Liyan, who exactly are you? If you're a demon, why are you associating with humans? And the stories you told me, are they really true? Does a celestial palace truly exist in this world...?"
"What happened to the little fox and the flower fairy in the end? I really care about their ending! Please wake up and tell me, okay?"
"Here it comes, here it comes, the medicine box is here!" Li Hao hurriedly carried the medicine box in and placed it on the table.
Turning to Qingge, he said, "Fairy Sister, I don't know which medicine can cure this man. You see... I'll go!"
Li Hao suddenly exclaimed, and Qingge looked at him in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Li Hao stared at Gu Liyan in disbelief, his face etched with shock!
“He, he’s not…” Li Hao pointed at Gu Liyan, his face flushed.
Qingge looked at Li Hao with a puzzled expression. "Do you know Gu Liyan?"
Li Hao blinked and looked at Qingge. "Huh? You, wait a minute."
Li Hao rushed out in a panic and went straight into his parents' room, rummaging through drawers and cupboards. Qingge was puzzled, but then saw Li Hao run back with a painting in his hand.
"Fairy sister, look at this!" Li Hao opened the calligraphy and painting with a delighted expression.
Qingge was stunned. The painting clearly depicted Gu Liyan. He had his eyes closed, held a jade flute in his hand, and was surrounded by many women, each of whom was as beautiful as a fairy. All of them were looking at Gu Liyan!
There were actually nine women in total!
"This painting is a family heirloom! Tell me, which famous painter in the world could paint so many people in the same scroll? And every single one of them is a beauty!" Li Hao boasted proudly.
"If only the scene depicted in this painting were real! Surrounded by so many beauties, people wouldn't have to limit themselves to three wives and four concubines. They could practically start a new imperial harem!" Li Hao stroked the painting with envy.
