As the group emerged from the imperial physician's office, they saw Li Erniang walking towards them. Li Erniang paused upon seeing Gu Liyan, her expression slightly changing. However, seeing Qingge and the others were present, she hesitated for a moment before continuing her journey, smiling broadly as she said, "Gu Liyan, it's so good to see you're alright!"
Gu Liyan said calmly, "Yes, this time I owe a lot to Li Jin. Not only did he help me recover my health, but he also helped me regain my peak strength."
Li Erniang chuckled awkwardly, "Oh, really? I didn't expect Jin'er to be so capable..."
"Hehe, I didn't expect Li Jin's medical skills to be so amazing." Gu Liyan laughed, her tone laced with sarcasm. "She's even better than Second Madam!"
"Hehe..." Li Erniang chuckled twice without saying anything.
"It's getting late. I'm taking Qingge back to her room to rest. You can make yourself at home." After saying this, Gu Liyan glared coldly at Li Erniang before pulling Qingge away.
After Gu Liyan and his companion left, Li Erniang's expression darkened slightly as she watched Li Jin seeing Gu Liyan off and Yang Wei behind him. It seemed Gu Liyan was ready to turn against her...
Just as she was about to say something, she saw Mo Chen slowly walk out of the Imperial Physician's Hall, carrying a pile of medicinal herbs in his arms. He said with a grin, "I didn't expect there to be so many precious medicinal herbs hidden here. Do you mind if I take some?"
“No, I don’t mind, I don’t mind,” Li Jin quickly replied.
Mo Chen squinted and chuckled as he left, not even glancing at Li Erniang.
After Mo Chen left, Li Erniang looked at Li Jin with a worried expression and asked, "How come Gu Liyan suddenly recovered? You shouldn't have been able to treat him so quickly. What exactly happened?"
With a bitter face, Li Jin told Li Erniang about the agreement she had made with Qingge, and also truthfully revealed that Gu Liyan knew she was a Soul Hunter.
Li Erniang's face darkened. "How could you be so careless! Now Gu Liyan is even less likely to leave with me!"
Li Jin was also helpless. "I thought I could take this opportunity to get a way to save my life from Gu Liyan, but I didn't expect that Gu Liyan had already foreseen the danger and sent Mo Chen back to the Nine Springs Realm to get the medicine. He just forced me to swear that if I broke the oath, my soul would be scattered."
Li Erniang said helplessly, "Things have come to this point, I can only ask that official for help..."
Back in the room, Gu Liyan hugged Qingge and said gently, "Qingqing, promise me you will never make such a decision again."
Qingge, holding Gu Liyan's hand, laughed and said, "Silly fox, who do you think I am? I am Princess Qingge, and your wife. How could I let anyone touch me! If he dares to disrespect me, I'll chop him down with one stroke!"
As she spoke, she took out a sharp dagger from her sleeve. Gu Liyan was so frightened that he quickly snatched it away and put it aside. He hugged Qingge and said gently, "Girls shouldn't be wielding knives and sticks. What if you hurt yourself? From now on, you'll be by my side. I won't let anyone hurt you!"
Qingge nodded with a smile, looking at Gu Liyan affectionately, "Yes, with you here, I'm not afraid of anything!"
Gu Liyan held him in his arms and said with a smile, "No one in this world can separate us now..."
With no one to stop them, the two were inseparable, spending every single day together. This continued until the Dragon God Ceremony three days later—
The crowd bowed in reverence, and the ceremony officially began.
"The dragon has returned to its rightful place..."
Mo Chen, as the host of the ceremony, spoke with a serious expression.
As Mo Chen finished speaking, Jin Xu transformed into a dragon and fell into the statue. The radiance of the divine dragon instantly shone throughout the world, like a fairyland.
Seeing this, the surrounding people knelt down and began to worship devoutly. Watching the people kneeling in worship, Gu Li seemed to be deep in thought: Once faith takes deep root, then there is a bottom line to restrain morality in this world. As long as the laws are proper and there are no oversights in the world's tasks, then everything is accomplished…
Gu Liyan looked at Qingge, a sense of unease creeping into his heart: If this continues, and I don't return soon, my soul power will naturally decline until the end of my life...
Noticing Gu Liyan looking at her, Qingge smiled and took Gu Liyan's hand, "Little Li, let's never be apart, okay?"
Gu Liyan was slightly taken aback, then nodded. "Yes, for a lifetime..."
Before Gu Liyan could finish speaking, a faint voice came from the distant void: "Heaven has eyes, good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished, only then can this world be considered truly peaceful."
Hearing that familiar voice, Gu Liyan's heart trembled. "This, this voice is... but how could it be!"
Hearing that familiar voice, Qingge was slightly taken aback, looking at Gu Liyan with surprise, "Xiao Li, that voice just now was..."
Seeing Qingge pointing at him with a puzzled look, Gu Liyan shook his head with a gloomy expression, "No..."
"immortal!"
"It's a deity! Quickly kneel down and worship the deity."
Before Gu Liyan could finish speaking, everyone pointed excitedly to the sky and looked up to see a huge white-clad phantom appear in the sky.
Mo Chen stared blankly at the illusory figure, then suddenly remembered something. He moved swiftly and arrived in front of Gu Liyan, grabbing her and saying anxiously, "Gu Liyan, let's go!"
Before Gu Liyan could react, Mo Chen pulled her a few steps away. Qing Ge looked at them in confusion and hurriedly caught up, "Xiao Li, where are you going?"
Hearing Qingge call his name, Gu Liyan broke free from Mo Chen's grasp, turned around, and looked at the enormous figure. It felt strangely familiar. Gu Liyan sighed and shook his head, saying:
"The Heavenly Dao has been established, and he is likely the new ruler of this world. His aura far surpasses that of the two of us. This world is entirely in his grasp. Where can we escape to but the netherworld?"
