"The choice is in my hands, it was in my hands from the very beginning..." Gu Liyan muttered to himself as he walked, recalling every word he had spoken to Mo Chen and the Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor. "The Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor seems to be waiting for my choice as well. What kind of choice is it..."
Gu Liyan was filled with mixed emotions. Unconsciously, he returned to the battle and found that the demons were retreating one by one. He was overjoyed. "Could it be that the demon race has defeated the demon race? If that's the case, then there's no need to make any more choices!"
Overjoyed, Gu Liyan walked into the battlefield, where corpses littered the ground, only to find the bodies of demons and monsters.
It was a scene of carnage and bloodshed!
Gu Liyan said with a heavy heart: In fact, this war should not have happened in the first place. It was all caused by the spirit of the Reincarnation Compass tempting people's hearts with darkness, which aroused the selfish desires of countless people and caused a war! As a result, the current situation has led to the suffering of all living beings.
Gu Liyan was secretly heartbroken, but he kept thinking of the most important person in his heart—"Xue'er!"
Gu Liyan began looking around, searching for Yan Muxue. "Xue'er! Where are you!"
Just as Gu Liyan was desperately searching for Yan Moxue's whereabouts, a dark figure suddenly attacked him from the shadows.
As the sharp wind approached Gu Liyan, he became alert. The murderous aura made him react quickly, and he hurriedly dodged to the side, the sword shadow passing by him.
Gu Liyan distanced himself from the person and was about to retaliate when he looked closely and realized that the person who had ambushed him was Yan Muxue. He immediately lowered his guard and asked in surprise, "Xue'er?! How did you—"
Before Gu Liyan could finish speaking, Yan Muxue narrowed her eyes and coldly looked at him, saying, "You bastard, you dare to show your face in front of me! You're asking for death!"
Gu Liyan looked at Yan Muxue with a blank expression, not understanding what she meant. "Xue'er?"
Without giving Gu Liyan a chance to ask a question, Yan Muxue attacked Gu Liyan again with her sword.
Yan Muxue's moves were sharp, and Gu Liyan dared not dodge. After a few moves, Yan Muxue was helpless against Gu Liyan's agile movements and could not gain the upper hand at all.
Yan Muxue was unwilling to let Gu Liyan toy with her like this, and angrily attacked him again. Gu Liyan raised his hand to block Yan Muxue's attack, and with a backhand flick, he knocked her sword away.
"Xue'er, stop hitting her!" Gu Liyan said with a frown.
"Do you think I'll give up just because I'm unarmed?!" Enraged at losing her weapon, Yan Muxue swung her fists and attacked Gu Liyan once more.
Seeing Yan Muxue's insistence on attacking him, Gu Liyan frowned, truly unable to understand why she wanted to confront him.
He simply stopped fighting back and let Yan Muxue's fist hit his chest. The force of the fist overwhelmed Gu Liyan, and he staggered back several steps before finally stopping. He spat out a mouthful of blood mist, and his face turned as pale as paper.
Seeing this, Yan Muxue's punch weakened slightly, and she gritted her teeth, saying hatefully, "Don't think that just because you don't dodge, I'll forgive you!"
Yan Muxue was about to attack Gu Liyan again when Gu Liyan took a deep breath and weakly said, "Xue'er, please, please stop hitting me, okay? It hurts..."
Hearing Gu Liyan's weak voice, Yan Muxue's fist trembled slightly. Just as she was about to speak, a familiar voice suddenly rang out behind her, "Muxue, we should go!"
Gu Liyan frowned when he saw Yan Muxue's figure appear and said, "Cangyi..."
Cangyi glanced at Gu Liyan and said calmly, "Your Highness, you probably don't recognize this person, do you? He is the leader of the demon race, Lord White Emperor!"
Gu Liyan raised an eyebrow and subconsciously paused, then hurriedly explained to Yan Muxue, "Xue'er, I don't..."
"No wonder you were so attentive to me. You were just pretending to like me. You came to the Demon Realm with me because you wanted to know about the Demon Realm, didn't you? It seems my master was right. I was really blind to fall for you!" Yan Muxue looked at Gu Liyan with her eyes red.
"No, Xue'er, I didn't lie to you, I'm not..."
Before Gu Liyan could say anything more, Cangyi coldly interrupted, "Everyone says that the White Emperor is not interested in women, so how could he possibly fall for the demon race? Although your demon race did win this time, there's still a long way to go, and our battle has only just begun!"
As he spoke, Cangyi took Yan Muxue's hand, and the two whispered intimately, "Your Highness, let's go."
Yan Muxue nodded, glanced at Gu Liyan, her gaze filled with many complex emotions, a mixture of love and hate, reluctance and unwillingness!
Gu Liyan felt downcast as he looked at Yan Muxue. He knew that Yan Muxue must have already decided that he was the White Emperor of the Demon Clan!
Just as he was about to explain, he saw Yan Muxue holding Cangyi's arm behind her back, and his eyes widened in surprise. "You, you guys—"
Cangyi coldly said, "I have an agreement with the princess. If you are willing to take her away, I will help you keep your whereabouts a secret. If you do not take her away, then regardless of the outcome of this battle, our marriage will take place when we return!"
Gu Liyan trembled and looked at Yan Muxue with disbelief, saying, "Xue'er, what he said isn't true. You're just trying to make me angry, aren't you!"
Yan Muxue looked at Gu Liyan, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth onto the ground, and couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. However, remembering Gu Liyan's previous actions and his true identity now, she couldn't help but feel angry. "Intentionally provoking me? Don't you know who you are! How dare I provoke the White Emperor of the Demon Clan!"
Yan Muxue coldly said, "Do I need to repeat myself? From this day forward, we are strangers! If we ever meet again, we will be mortal enemies!"
Gu Liyan stared blankly at Yan Muxue, opening his mouth but not knowing how to explain.
Why did their relationship change so drastically in the blink of an eye?!
