Tears welled up in Yan Moxue's eyes, and Gu Liyan could see his reflection so clearly in her eyes.
Gu Liyan looked at her with a sincere expression and said, "Xue'er, don't leave me alone every time, I..."
Gu Liyan was speechless, unable to finish her thought: Though she hadn't exhausted herself searching, she was already weary of separation. She had waited and longed for their reunion for far too long!
In short, all those words can be summed up in one plea: "Xue'er, I don't want us to be separated again! Because I don't know if this will be the last time..."
Gu Liyan choked out his words, tears streaming down his face and falling to the ground.
When Yan Muxue saw Gu Liyan's tears streaming down his beautiful face, tears welled up in her own eyes. He didn't want to be separated, so how could she be willing to leave!
Yan Muxue gritted her teeth and said, "Fine! Since that's the case, I won't back down anymore! Xiao Li, if you die today, I'll die with you! We'll search the heavens and the underworld together, and we'll never be apart!"
After saying that, Yan Muxue tightly gripped Gu Liyan's hand. Hearing Yan Muxue's words, Gu Liyan affectionately ruffled Yan Muxue's hair and whispered, "Silly girl, I won't die today, and I won't let you die either!"
Yan Muxue thought Gu Liyan was trying to comfort her, and nodded without denying it, saying, "Yes, none of us will die..."
But in his heart he thought: Even if we die, when we reach the underworld, we must be together no matter what!
Seeing that Yan Muxue had been persuaded by Gu Liyan and refused to bow down to him, Baili Huangyi coldly said, "Miss Xue'er, you'd better think carefully. Don't make a foolish decision for the sake of so-called affection and regret it for the rest of your life!"
Yan Muxue turned to look at Baili Huangyi and said resolutely, "You are not even one ten-thousandth as good as Xiao Li. You should give up on the idea of me being with you!"
"Huh? I'm not as good as him?" Baili Huangyi sneered. "I am the King of Yancheng. It's only a matter of time before I expand my territory and unify the world. He's just a wild man from the mountains!"
Baili Huangyi pointed at Gu Liyan and said, "Can he give you wealth and glory? Can he give you a magnificent empire? With me, you can have all of that! Because I can change your destiny!"
Change your destiny?
Yan Muxue smiled. If it were in the past, she might have been more considerate, since what she wanted to change was her own destiny!
But ever since I got together with Gu Liyan, everything has been alright, whether it's good or bad, as long as I'm with Gu Liyan!
Yan Muxue smiled slightly, a smile that was unforgettable: "I don't like wealth and fame, I only like being dressed in white, as pure as snow, with him, with me!"
"With him, what need is there for a magnificent empire? We can roam the world together, and the whole world will be ours!" Yan Muxue said with a smile, then looked at Gu Liyan with eyes full of tenderness.
She and Gu Liyan exchanged a smile; their hearts were already in sync, and what she wanted was what he desired!
Seeing the two of them exchanging glances, Baili Huangyi angrily said, "You stupid woman! Not only can he not give you anything, but he's also a dying man, his life force waning..."
"Running out of fuel?" Before Baili Huangyi could finish speaking, Gu Liyan interrupted him, raised her head to meet Baili Huangyi's cold gaze, and said indifferently, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, Your Highness!"
Baili Huangyi didn't understand his meaning and hadn't reacted yet when he saw Gu Liyan stand up, showing no signs of illness.
Baili Huangyi composed himself and then noticed that Gu Liyan's complexion was gradually regaining its color. He looked at Gu Liyan in astonishment and stammered, "You, weren't you poisoned? How could this be..."
Gu Liyan smiled, took Yan Muxue's hand, and said confidently, "I was indeed poisoned, but you may not know, but I am immune to all poisons! My fatigue just now was just the process of detoxification!"
"What?!"
Everyone stared at Gu Liyan in astonishment.
"Xiao Li!" Yan Muxue exclaimed with delight, "Are you really alright?"
Gu Liyan smiled and nodded.
Baili Huangyi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Gu Liyan with suspicion. "Impossible! That venom is definitely not something an ordinary person can cure!"
At this point, Baili Huangyi looked at Gu Liyan with suspicion, pointed at him and asked, "You, who exactly are you?"
Gu Liyan smiled and said slowly, "I've warned you many times, fox spirits are not something a mortal like you can deal with!"
Baili Huangyi's eyes widened. He already guessed the answer in his heart, but he couldn't believe it or say it aloud.
Gu Liyan squinted at Baili Huangyi and said, word by word, "If you want to occupy this land and become king, you must understand who the real master is here!"
"You, could you really be—" Baili Huangyi stared wide-eyed at Gu Liyan.
Gu Liyan smiled and flicked her sleeve, revealing fox ears and nine fox tails, making her beautiful and alluring features even more striking!
Everyone's eyes widened when they saw Gu Liyan's posture.
"A fox spirit! It's the fox spirit!"
The soldiers who had initially surrounded Gu Liyan with imposing force were suddenly thrown into panic, retreating hastily and daring not to approach any closer. Several even knelt down and kowtowed.
Baili Huangyi subconsciously took a few steps back. "You, you really are..."
"I thought you were a wise ruler, but I never expected that in order to expand your territory, you would actually choose Thousand Absolute Mountain as your first target for invasion." Gu Liyan glared angrily at Baili Huangyi. "What angers me even more is that you have been plotting against Xue'er all along! You are truly audacious!"
