Upon hearing this, Gu Liyan's pupils narrowed slightly. She hadn't expected that she and Mo Chen had unintentionally saved the old man's life.
"However, despite her vitality, she lacked the strength to keep going. She couldn't go on for more than half the journey. If I hadn't arrived in time, she would have almost rolled down the mountain and died!" Long Wei sneered.
"So, what are you trying to say?" Gu Liyan asked, frowning.
Long Wei tore off her veil, revealing her ferocious face covered in dragon scales. She pointed at Gu Liyan menacingly and said, "I am a dragon demon. Although I have grievances, my heart is good! You are also a demon. You should understand the cycle of heaven and the retribution for good and evil! I am only seeking revenge. Why are you stopping me?"
"You said it yourself, it's for revenge, but you shouldn't have dragged innocent bystanders into this mess and harmed the other people of Weilong Kingdom." Gu Liyan looked at Long Wei and said coldly, "As far as I know, wasn't it Yang Qi from the General's Mansion who harmed you? You've already killed his entire family, aren't you satisfied yet?"
Long Wei's face was cold, and she exuded resentment. "What do you know? Everyone in the Mighty Dragon Kingdom deserves to die! Only when they are all dead can my resentment be dispelled!"
Gu Liyan frowned. "Your kind of revenge will only lead to widespread suffering!"
"So what? Their lives have nothing to do with me!" Long Wei sneered.
Gu Liyan was overwhelmed by the resentment emanating from Long Wei, and his face turned pale instantly.
Seeing Gu Liyan's pale face, Long Wei suppressed her resentment and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
With the surrounding pressure gone, Gu Liyan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Actually, there are many ways to solve this problem. Why did you choose such an extreme method?"
"Hmph! So you mean I should just keep my resentment to myself?" Long Wei's eyes turned red with anger, her resentment soaring to the sky.
Gu Liyan groaned, unable to bear the dragon's resentment emanating from Long Wei any longer.
Gu Liyan gritted her teeth and said, "As long as you don't vent your resentment on innocent people... I'll cooperate with you however you want to vent, how about it?"
Long squinted at Gu Liyan. "Oh? Is that so? I originally planned to capture you this time and persuade you to join my camp. Since you've said so, I'll give you a chance!"
Long Wei's lips curled into a sinister smile, a smile that, for some reason, sent chills down Gu Liyan's spine...
Boom! The thunderous sound resounded throughout the entire Mighty Dragon Kingdom.
The singer, who was embroidering the brocade pouch, trembled slightly as the needle pierced her flesh.
"Hiss..." Blood dripped onto the sachet. Qingge watched as the blood seeped into the peach blossoms, her heart aching with pain!
"Gu Liyan?" For some reason, Qingge really wanted to see Gu Liyan at this moment.
She got up, put down the sachet, and ran towards Gu Liyan's room—
"Pfft..." Gu Liyan spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning deathly pale. He looked down at his hands and saw a faint trace of transparency.
Although it is only a division of the soul, it is still connected to the mind of the original body. If the soul is damaged, this part will also be able to sense it.
"Could it be..." Gu Liyan's face darkened, a vague sense of foreboding creeping in.
"Gu Liyan!" A clear voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Gu Liyan frowned, thinking to himself, "Qingqing? Why is she here at this time?"
"Gu Liyan! Are you there?" Qingge's voice was anxious from outside the door.
Gu Liyan didn't delay any longer. He quickly wiped away the bloodstains he had vomited, tidied himself up, and went to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, before Gu Liyan could even react, Qingge suddenly threw herself into his arms.
"It's so good to see you're alright!" Qingge said, her eyes reddening and her voice choked with emotion.
Gu Liyan was taken aback for a moment, then reached out and patted Qingge's head, smiling as he asked, "Why are you crying?"
Qingge looked up, about to say something, but then noticed that Gu Liyan's face was a little pale. She asked anxiously, "Gu Liyan, why do you look so pale?"
Gu Liyan's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "I didn't tell you that I am actually a soul now. I am like this because I have been exposed to the sun for a long time during the day."
"Oh? What should we do then? Right, I'll ask them to bring you the curtains later, shall I?" Qingge said anxiously.
Gu Liyan smiled slightly, patted Qingge's head and said, "Don't worry, I just need to rest for a bit and I'll be fine..." Before he could finish speaking, Gu Liyan's expression suddenly changed, he felt a wave of dizziness, and then his body fell forward, throwing himself into Qingge's arms.
"Gu Liyan?" Qingge quickly pulled Gu Liyan to her feet and held him in her arms. "Gu Liyan, are you alright?"
Gu Liyan stared blankly at Qingge, his eyes vacant and lifeless. In that instant, he felt as if he had been severed from his original self, and for a moment he forgot how to answer Qingge.
"Gu Liyan, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Gu Liyan's unusual behavior, Qingge cried out with tears welling up in her eyes, "Don't scare me!"
"Qing...Ge...I'm fine..." Gu Liyan paused, then slowly spoke.
"Gu Liyan! You scared me to death!" Qingge hugged Gu Liyan. "I thought something had happened to you."
Gu Liyan held Qingge in his arms. He had indeed been in trouble, and this time it seemed... to be quite serious!
——
A white-furred dog, covered in mud, crawled out of the burned ruins, its limbs trembling and looking extremely weak.
"Ah! That scared me to death! It was just a dead dog!" The soldiers who were cleaning up the ruins were startled when they saw a shadow flash by.
He then picked up a broom and swung it at the dog's mouth, cursing repeatedly, "You damn dog! You dare scare me! I'll beat you to death!"
"Woof..." The dog whimpered, lay down on the ground carefully protecting its head, and endured the soldier's beating.
