Mo Chen smiled and nodded.
Seeing Mei Meier wake up, Gu Liyan's hands trembled slightly. The Soul-Painting Eye wouldn't lie to him; Mei Meier...
It was just a final burst of energy before death!
There is no way to break this curse!
Mei Meier looked at Gu Liyan and nodded gently, "Thank you, Demon King..."
Gu Liyan came to her senses. "No... I..."
Why are you thanking me?
I--
I can't save you!
Gu Liyan clenched his fists, his heart filled with self-reproach.
“Brother Chen…” Mei Meier looked at Mo Chen with tenderness in her eyes, a stark contrast to her alluring demeanor.
"Yes, I'm here."
For some reason, Mo Chen gripped Mei Meier's hand tightly, unusually calm...
"I love you..." Mei Meier said, a tear rolling down her cheek.
Mo Chen's lips moved, but he didn't say anything.
Gu Liyan watched the red thread dissipate, about to speak, but then saw Mei Meier close her eyes—
There is no sign of life!
Before her hand could fall, Mo Chen pulled her into a tight embrace and whispered in a voice only he could hear, "Yes, I know..."
I know
I've always understood
But
I cannot give you a promise of a lifetime.
I can't give you happiness for all eternity.
Even more so
--I love you too
Gu Liyan opened his mouth and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, Mo Chen, I..."
"Thank you, Gu Liyan," Mo Chen said.
Gu Liyan was taken aback and looked up at Mo Chen in surprise.
"You restored her to her most beautiful moment..."
Mo Chen gently stroked Mei Meier's face and smiled warmly, "She has asked me many times if I would hate her if I didn't have such a stunning appearance."
“I said yes! I said I would leave her without hesitation!” Mo Chen said to himself.
Gu Liyan did not interrupt him and continued to listen to him say, "She said that I am just like those vulgar mortals, only liking ethereal beauty."
“I told her that’s just human nature.”
"Who knew she wouldn't get angry? Instead, she told me she would stay beautiful forever, no matter what means she used..."
Mo Chen choked up as he said, "I know, she was afraid I would leave, afraid I would abandon her... She often told me, 'Time is passing, youth is fading, if I am not here, life will have no meaning!'"
Gu Liyan suddenly realized that Mei Meier thanked him because she had restored her appearance.
So...
The person she loved from beginning to end was Mo Chen!
Gu Liyan took a deep breath. Such a strong-willed woman was truly rare.
Suddenly, he thought of Hua Baixian. Why did he have to avoid seeing her in this way?
Is it because you're afraid you can't have it both ways?
Why can't I love her passionately just once?
Even if it means going crazy for love, even if it means going against the world!
