The next day
Around noon, Yan Muxue woke up yawning and stretching.
"Ah, this feels so good! I never expected to have trouble sleeping in Thousand Jue Mountain on my first try!"
Yan Muxue stood up but hadn't taken a step when a muffled groan came from behind her. Startled, she immediately realized that she had been sitting on Gu Liyan's tail last night.
Looking down, I realized I had indeed stepped on his fox tail!
Turning around, I saw that Gu Liyan had knelt down on the ground at some point.
Gu Liyan, who was awakened by the pain of Yan Muxue stepping on his tail, was pale-faced.
"Ah, I'm so sorry, Gu Liyan, I didn't mean to!" Yan Muxue helped Gu Liyan up. "Are you alright?"
Gu Liyan leaned weakly against Yan Muxue's chest, slowly opening his eyes. "It's already dawn..."
"Okay." Yan Muxue nodded.
Gu Liyan looked at Yan Muxue and said, "Strange..."
Yan Muxue looked at him in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"What are you doing..." Gu Liyan looked at Yan Muxue, "Why are you swaying around like that?"
"What?" Yan Muxue didn't hear Gu Liyan's words clearly, but she saw Gu Liyan's body sway and fall down.
"Hey Gu Liyan, you..."
Gu Liyan saw Yan Moxue's lips moving, but he was suffering from tinnitus and couldn't hear her words at all.
So tired... So sleepy... Why... do I have no energy left...
Gu Liyan's vision went black—
Noon had passed, and Gu Yan had returned specifically to wait for Gu Liyan's greetings, but Gu Liyan hadn't arrived. He slammed his fist on the table and stood up, cursing, "This is outrageous! This time I'll skin you alive!"
Gu Yan took out his discipline whip and strode menacingly towards Gu Liyan's room. Just as he reached the door, he saw Yan Muxue helping Gu Liyan walk around the corner. He immediately confronted her and roared, "Gu Liyan! Do you know what time it is—"
Before Gu Yan could finish speaking, Yan Muxue suddenly raised her head, her eyes red, and shouted at Gu Yan, "He's already fainted, what more do you want from him?"
Gu Yan was stunned, only then did she see that Gu Liyan, whom Yan Muxue was carrying, had lost consciousness and was lying limply on her body without moving.
“Xiao Li…” Gu Yan hurriedly stepped forward to check on Gu Liyan, only to find that his body was cold, his body was empty of energy, and even his life signs were intermittent.
Gu Yan's hand trembled slightly as she looked at Gu Liyan with some surprise. "How could he..."
Yan Muxue asked anxiously, "What happened to Gu Liyan?"
Gu Yan took a deep breath and calmed down immediately. She said calmly, "Take him back to his room to rest. Don't worry about anything else!"
