Yan Muxue looked around, thinking she was on the same path as Gu Liyan, but she still couldn't see him after coming out, and she immediately felt disappointed.
Cang Mu said impatiently, "Let's go, I've been wanting the demon wine for almost ten years!"
Cangyi squinted and said, "No rush, let's ask him what his attitude is first."
"Him?" Cang Mu and Yan Muxue were both puzzled.
Just as they were about to ask, Gu Liyan's voice came from behind them: "The person Cangyi is talking about is me."
Upon seeing Gu Liyan appear, Yan Muxue's face lit up with joy, but the joy vanished instantly, because Gu Liyan's expression was icy, and his gaze never lingered on her for even a moment.
"It's you!" Cang Mu frowned as he looked at Gu Liyan. "Aren't you a demon? How dare you show your face in front of us?"
Gu Liyan glanced at Yan Muxue, his cold gaze softening. "I have no connection with the demon race. Mo Chen was just a pawn I tricked into entering the Nine Netherworld together."
Cang Mu said with a disbelieving look, "Hmph, do you think we're all fools who would believe you!"
As soon as Cang Mu finished speaking, Yan Muxue immediately replied, "I believe you!"
Cang Mu blushed. "Even though you are a demon princess, you don't have to embarrass me like this!"
Yan Muxue stepped forward, looked at Gu Liyan, and said, "I believe you!"
Hearing Yan Muxue's words, Gu Liyan's heart trembled violently. "Xue'er..."
In Gu Liyan's view, Yan Muxue had already fallen for Baili Huangyi. He had thought that there was no longer any feeling between him and her, but after scanning around and not seeing Baili Huangyi, he realized that Yan Muxue and the others had given up on Baili Huangyi.
Given Yan Muxue's trust in him, how could he not be moved?
Cangyi squinted at Gu Liyan, "Even so, so what? You still want to join my demon race as a demon?"
Gu Liyan pursed his lips and looked at Yan Muxue, "If I could be with Xue'er, I would pay any price!"
"Impossible! The Demon Race would never accept the Monster Race!" Cang Mu said coldly.
Gu Liyan opened his mouth as if to speak, but Yan Muxue said, "Xiao Li wouldn't lie! I believe him!"
Hearing Yan Muxue's words, Gu Liyan lowered his head with a look of guilt. He had no intention of deceiving her, but this was the only way to make Mo Bai believe him...
Yan Muxue held Gu Liyan's hand and looked at him, "Xiao Li, tell them you won't lie to me!"
Gu Liyan nodded. "I wouldn't lie to you!"
Yan Muxue smiled innocently, "Yes, I knew it, Xiao Li wouldn't lie to me!"
Before Cang Mu could say anything more, Cang Yi spoke up, "Since Your Highness trusts him, let's go back together."
"What!" Cang Mu exclaimed in surprise, "This guy is a demon!"
Cangyi glared at Cangmu. "Don't worry, my demon race has a million people. Do you think we can't keep an eye on one demon?"
Cang Mu curled his lip and glared at Gu Liyan. "Anyway, I don't believe him!"
Yan Muxue pouted and hugged Gu Liyan's arm. "I don't care if you believe me or not, I believe him!"
Seeing that his words were of no use, Cang Mu could only sigh in obedience, "Alright, I understand. Let's go back together!"
The four set off together, and after walking for a short while, Gu Liyan discovered a huge ancient tree in the desolate land. The tree had a hole that could be passed through by one person, which should be the way to the place where the demons lived.
“If a tree can make a home in a tree hole, it must be no ordinary tree,” Gu Liyan said, looking at the giant tree.
"You do have some discernment. This tree is an ancient tree with a thousand-year history and possesses the spirit of nature. It is surrounded by spiritual energy, making it infinitely better than your penniless demon race!" Cang Mu sneered.
Gu Liyan pursed his lips but didn't dare to speak.
"Alright, let's go." Cangyi said, and then walked in front.
Yan Muxue was about to go second, but Cang Mu glared at Gu Liyan and shouted, "You go second!"
Gu Liyan knew that Cang Mu did not trust her, so she did not dare to refute him and hurriedly followed Cang Yi.
Yan Muxue glared at Cang Mu and walked behind Gu Liyan, with Cang Mu following behind.
Inside the tree hollow was a hidden world, with a path leading straight down. It was difficult to walk in the darkness. Yan Muxue behind her had stepped on Gu Liyan's feet countless times, and each time she would say "sorry" but never change her mind.
Gu Liyan turned around and looked at Yan Muxue, speaking gently, "If you're afraid of the dark, you can walk close to me."
Yan Muxue's cheeks flushed crimson in the darkness, and she softly hummed in agreement. However, with Cang Mu behind her, she didn't dare to be presumptuous.
For Gu Liyan, even in darkness, his vision becomes incredibly clear as long as he uses the Soul Painting Eye.
After walking for a long time, the surrounding roads widened considerably, and the light gradually returned. Just then, a look of panic flashed in Gu Liyan's eyes, and she suddenly pounced on Cangyi. Caught off guard, Cangyi was directly tackled by Gu Liyan, and then felt a gust of wind rush past his head before he was shot into the wall behind him with a "thud".
"You brat, what are you doing!" Cang Mu rushed forward, pulled Gu Liyan up from the ground, and punched Gu Liyan in the stomach without thinking twice.
"Uh..." Before Gu Liyan could react, he was hit hard, and his blood and qi surged so much that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Cang Mu! Stop!" Cang Yi, who had gotten up from the ground, saw that Cang Mu was about to continue, so he hurriedly stopped him.
Yan Muxue, who was behind, belatedly realized what was happening and ran over to help Gu Liyan, asking with concern, "Xiao Li, are you alright?"
Gu Liyan, whose face was pale beneath the mask, waved his hand and whispered, "I'm fine."
