Gu Liyan grabbed her hand and said coldly, "But you doubt me!"
Seeing Gu Liyan's angry expression, Mei Meier was slightly taken aback, and her heart skipped a beat. However, she quickly calmed down and forced an awkward smile.
"No, I didn't expect the Demon King to be so vengeful. Mei'er only suspected the masked official, and didn't suspect the one who made the demons tremble with fear! If I had known earlier that you, Demon King, were that powerful balancer, I would have already submitted to you!"
As Mei Meier spoke, she observed Gu Liyan's expression. Seeing that his mood had eased, she breathed a sigh of relief and said in a coquettish tone, "Demon King, you hurt me."
Gu Liyan was slightly taken aback, then quickly let go of her hand, leaned against a nearby rock, and said nothing.
Having learned about Gu Liyan's personality, Mei Meier's eyes crinkled with allure, and her words flowed sweetly. Without any hesitation, she boldly wrapped her arms around Gu Liyan's neck, saying, "My lord, you've already rejected me once, you can't reject me this time!"
As he spoke, he slowly lowered his head and moved closer to Gu Liyan...
Gu Liyan flashed out of the hot spring, while Mei Meier missed her target and fell into the hot spring.
Splash—
Mei Meier was soaked from head to toe, glaring angrily at Gu Liyan, "You, you—"
Seeing Mei Meier's disheveled appearance, Gu Liyan almost couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Cough, you, you should wear more clothes, don't catch a cold."
He turned around, put on his clothes, laughed loudly, and ran out.
"That brat! He has no sense of chivalry whatsoever! This guy is driving me crazy!" Mei Meier said angrily, picking off a plum blossom petal from her hair.
Just then, laughter came from inside the room: "Haha, I told you, you can't win his heart!"
Mei Meier left the hot spring, put on her robe, and angrily said to the person who came out, "I see now. You've been looking for that kid the whole time, haven't you? What about finding someone to inherit Plum Manor so we could leave together? You were lying to me! Humph! Now he's come to me himself, and instead of meeting him, you're just pushing me onto him to do useless work..."
Seeing Mei Meier's angry expression, Mo Chen stepped forward to comfort her, "I'm sorry, I made you suffer. I just wanted to test him to see if he would remain steadfast..."
Before the words were finished, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind, "So—"
"Did you actually come to this world to help me?"
Mo Chen looked at Gu Liyan, who appeared behind him, with a surprised expression: When did this guy get back?!
Gu Liyan looked at Mo Chen with a mischievous grin. "I accidentally activated the Soul Painting Eye just now and saw Mei Meier's marriage line in the room. Who knew that my curiosity would lead me to peek and gossip a bit? I didn't expect to run into an acquaintance!"
Mo Chen was speechless: This guy is doing this on purpose!
Gu Liyan scrutinized the two of them, then his expression suddenly changed drastically. The red lines visible in Hua Hun Tong were slowly fading, and he was immediately horrified.
Generally speaking, there are only two such cases.
First, feelings have faded, and there is no possibility of continuing to love.
Second, one side is completely destroyed, with no hope of reincarnation.
Seeing Gu Liyan's solemn expression, Mo Chen asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you...?"
Before she could finish speaking, an arrow suddenly fell from the sky and pierced through Mei Meier's chest.
Mei Meier's face turned deathly pale instantly, and then she collapsed.
Mo Chen hurriedly helped Mei Meier up. "Meier!"
The words had barely left his mouth when countless arrows rained down on Plum Manor. Gu Liyan was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to shield the two, casting a spell: "Nine Dust Illusionary Spirit Array - Defense!"
The pale purple light shield blocked the arrows, and Gu Liyan breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly turned around to check on Mei Meier's injuries.
Seeing the incantations engraved on the arrow's blade sent a chill down his spine. "This is... a poison curse!"
In the ancient books preserved in Thousand Absolutes Mountain, this long-lost poisonous curse rune is the nemesis of all demon races.
"Brother Chen... I, I'm in so much pain..." Mei Meier said hoarsely, tears streaming down her face.
Mo Chen held her hand tightly. "Don't be afraid, Mei'er, I'm here. I'll save you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mei Meier's face began to corrode. Gu Liyan trembled all over. Was this the terrifying power of the poison curse? It was corroding so quickly!
"Ah..." Mei Meier's wounds continued to widen, and the unbearable pain made her scream, "My face hurts so much! Ah..."
Seeing this, Mo Chen hurriedly looked at Gu Liyan and said, "Gu Liyan! Quickly use your Life-Giving Power to save her! Quickly—"
As he spoke, Mo Chen didn't even realize he had suddenly roared. In his heart, he had long since come to regard Mei Meier as one of his own...
Before she found Gu Liyan after arriving in this world, it was Mei Meier who took her in.
Although it was he who proposed establishing a trading post for humans and demons, it was Mei Meier who painstakingly managed it.
During this time, Mei Meier faced constant rumors and gossip from the demon race, as well as the risks to the human race. All of this was for Mo Chen!
so--
Mo Chen lowered his head, his expression unreadable, and spoke in a hoarse, low voice to Gu Liyan, "Gu Liyan, please... save her!"
How could Gu Liyan refuse Mo Chen, who was willing to lower himself to seek help from his former enemy?
Gu Liyan gritted his teeth, nodded, stepped forward, pulled out the arrow stuck in her body, and directly used the Life-Giving Technique on Mei Meier.
A moment later, seeing Mei Meier's face gradually recover, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Mei Mei'er was pale, but she still smiled and looked at Mo Chen, gently saying, "I'm fine, Brother Chen."
