“They stopped chasing us when we came out,” Gu Liyan said.
Mo Chen stopped, panting, and said, "No, let's rest! I'm too tired!"
Gu Liyan stopped and put Yan Muxue down, asking with concern, "How are you? Are you alright?"
"Xiao Li, I'm fine." Yan Muxue secretly glanced at Gu Liyan holding her hand and said shyly.
Gu Liyan, however, did not notice the emotions on her face. Instead, he looked around and saw that the pedestrians around him did not seem like walking corpses. Some of them were even shouting and hawking. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that we have truly entered the Nine Netherworld!"
Gu Liyan turned to look at Yan Muxue and said earnestly, "Xue'er, don't worry, I will find Baili Huangyi for you as soon as possible and have him take you back..."
Hearing what Gu Liyan said, Yan Muxue was stunned for a moment, then angrily shook off Gu Liyan's hand, pouting and saying irritably, "Then I really thank you!"

Watching the two of them walk ahead and chase after each other, Mo Chen scratched his head in bewilderment. "Strange, why do I feel like Lord Bai Di and this Miss Mo Xue are flirting?"
—You've hit the nail on the head!
High atop a distant tower, a mysterious masked figure stared intently at Gu Liyan's retreating figure...
Gu Liyan turned her head to look in the direction of the tower, but found that there was no one there.
"That's strange, why did I feel like someone was watching me just now?"
"Hurry up and catch up!" Yan Muxue stomped her feet angrily when she saw that Gu Liyan hadn't followed her and turned around to see him standing there in a daze.
