Baili Huangyi turned pale with fright. Seeing the fear in everyone's eyes as they looked at Gu Liyan, he immediately shouted to Wang Guozhong, "Minister Wang, hurry, hurry and protect me!"
Wang Guozhong looked at Gu Liyan, a hint of awe inexplicably appearing on his face.
He calmly walked forward, looking at Gu Liyan with a serious expression, and then did something that shocked everyone:
Wang Guozhong knelt down before Gu Liyan and said respectfully, "I am Wang Guozhong, greetings to the Fox Fairy. I have offended you before, please forgive me..."
Baili Huangyi's eyes widened as he pointed at Wang Guozhong, trembling with rage, and shouted, "Wang Guozhong! What are you doing? Didn't you hear me ordering you to protect me? Why are you bowing to him?!"
Without turning his head, Wang Guozhong said, "Although I am loyal to Your Highness, Prince Yan, it doesn't mean I will always be your dog. I always have to fight for something for myself..."
"What? Say it again if you dare!" Upon hearing Wang Guozhong's words, Baili Huangyi trembled with anger and spoke with a gloomy gaze.
Wang Guozhong raised his head and said to Gu Liyan with a serious expression, "The Wang family has been loyal and virtuous for generations and has never done anything against loyalty and righteousness. Today, I, Wang Guozhong, dare to disobey the orders of Prince Yan, just to apologize to the Fox Fairy and beg the Fox Fairy to save my seriously ill daughter!"
After Wang Guozhong finished speaking, he immediately kowtowed and knelt down to express his gratitude, saying, "If the Fox Fairy is willing to forgive and save my seriously ill daughter, I am willing to serve you as a slave for generations!"
Seeing Wang Guozhong say this, Baili Huangyi coldly replied, "Fool! Your daughter has a terminal illness that is incurable. He can't save her at all!"
"Then let me ask you, Your Highness, why did your poison have no effect on the Fox Fairy?" Wang Guozhong knelt on the ground and spoke coldly, "You didn't even notice such a detail beforehand, yet you tried to threaten the Fox Fairy. Who is the fool here?"
"You, you—" Baili Huangyi never expected Wang Guozhong to be so audacious in defying him. He was speechless for a moment, and his chest heaved with anger...
Upon seeing this, Feng Huaxian hurriedly went up to support him and gently patted his back, saying, "Your Highness, please take care of yourself!"
Wang Guozhong knelt before Gu Liyan and respectfully said, "I am willing to pay any price, including my own life! I only beg the Fox Fairy to save my daughter!"
A purple glint flashed in Gu Liyan's eyes. He saw that Wang Guozhong's pure and kind heart was not a lie. After a long pause, he spoke, "Your daughter does indeed have a terminal illness, but if you do a good deed every day from today onwards and accumulate merit for your daughter, it should alleviate the symptoms."
Upon hearing Gu Liyan's words, Wang Guozhong was overjoyed and prepared to kowtow in gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Fox Fairy..."
"Don't thank me yet!" Gu Liyan said coldly. "If you continue to act for evil people and do bad things, you will surely take your daughter's life with your own hands!"
Wang Guozhong's face immediately changed, and he hurriedly said, "I swear that I will never associate with evil people again, and I will never do anything that harms others for my own benefit! If I break this oath, may I be struck by lightning!"
Gu Liyan nodded. "I don't need you to give anything. Just be yourself and remember the vow you made today."
Wang Guozhong repeatedly kowtowed in gratitude, sincerely saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Fox Fairy. I will never forget my vow today!"
Gu Liyan waved his hand without saying anything to Wang Guozhong. Instead, he looked at the guards around him who were staring at him as if they had seen a demon, and coldly said, "You mortals, get out of here at once!"
Gu Liyan's shout startled everyone, causing them to instinctively back away and make way for him.
Gu Liyan took Yan Moxue's hand and walked towards the exit.
As Gu Liyan and Yan Muxue were about to leave the cave, Baili Huangyi coldly asked, "Young Master Mo! Are you really a fox spirit?"
Gu Liyan paused, turned her head coldly to look at Baili Huangyi, and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"Young Master Mo, you're not just a magician who knows illusions, are you?" Baili Huangyi smirked. "As far as I know, the Fox Fairy doesn't reveal herself easily."
Baili Huangyi narrowed his eyes and smiled wickedly, "Soldiers, do not be afraid! He is not the Fox Spirit, but merely used sorcery! All of you, work together to execute this sorcerer on the spot!"
As soon as Baili Huangyi finished speaking, the guards around him seemed to have gained courage, gripping their weapons tightly and watching Gu Liyan warily.
Gu Liyan narrowed his eyes, noticing the renewed hostility from the surrounding guards. He coldly said, "Since you believed him and think I possess sorcery, then I will show you what true magic is—"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and then saw Gu Liyan standing in the void. Their eyes widened in surprise.
"How...how did he do that?"
"They already said she's a fox spirit, so being able to stand in mid-air shouldn't be a problem, right..."
Gu Liyan looked down at the crowd and coldly said, "Ignorant mortals..."
Gu Liyan raised his hand, pointing to the very center of his feet, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light. "Freeze! Freeze—"
As Gu Liyan finished speaking, starting from the center, the ground began to turn into frost at a visible speed...
As Baili Huangyi watched the frost rise and freeze beneath his feet, feeling the bone-chilling cold, he was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated.
Seeing that Baili Huangyi was awkwardly dodging his ice seal, Gu Liyan didn't think it was too much and stopped freezing him near his feet. Even so, Baili Huangyi was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
Gu Liyan landed in front of Yan Muxue, who looked at him with adoration. The two smiled at each other, understanding each other's feelings without needing to say a word...
