Shelley Inn's popularity grew, and it became a popular meeting place for lovers who wanted to chat freely. As a result, Xiao Linzi had to invest more money, and after several renovations, Shelley Inn was now built to be quite grand.
Gu Liyan looked at Xiao Linzi, who was obsessed with money, and said with disdain, "I really don't know why you humans work so hard to make money. Isn't it better to just enjoy life?"
"This is the difference between humans and demons. You rely on strength, while we rely on profit," Xiao Linzi said truthfully.
Gu Liyan thought about it and agreed. The weaker demon race could only become slaves, and the principle was still the same. So he decided not to dwell on it. "Alright, we are different."
"Alright, stop slacking off. Miss Su will scold you again when she gets back. Hurry up and go greet the guests." Xiao Linzi said with a mischievous grin.
"Where did she go so early in the morning? Are you and her hiding something from me?" Gu Liyan asked with a suspicious look.
Xiao Lin chuckled, "It's a secret!"
Gu Liyan rolled her eyes. Since she couldn't get an answer from him, she decided not to waste her breath and continued running around serving customers...
"Have you heard? A new sect called the Demonic Cult has emerged, and in just a few months it has already grown to a hundred people!"
"What school of thought? I think they're just a bunch of assassins."
"Shh, keep your voice down! Do you want to die?!"
"I heard that group of people come and go without a trace, and they kill people without hesitation, which is terrifying."
"Who said that? I heard they take people's money to solve their problems, and the people they kill are all the most wicked and evil!"
Hearing the discussion at the next table, Gu Liyan frowned. "The Demonic Sect? Could it be..."
Whoosh—
"Ah, a fairy has descended to earth!"
"Oh my god, I actually saw a fairy sister!"
"Pinch me! Am I dreaming?"
Exclamations came from outside the door. Gu Liyan looked over and saw that the doorway was completely surrounded by people.
Gu Liyan squeezed through the crowd and asked, "Who is it? Standing at the door so early in the morning, don't you know you're delaying business?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Liyan looked up and met the eyes of the beautiful woman. Both of them were stunned.
After removing her armor, her entire demeanor changed; she became gentle and tender, and much more mature.
Gu Liyan opened his mouth, "I didn't expect it to be you..."
“Gu Liyan!” Hua Yuxian’s eyes reddened, and she couldn’t help but choke up as she spoke.
Gu Liyan opened his mouth, but before he could react, Hua Yuxian rushed towards him and threw herself into his arms.
"Great! I've finally found you! I knew you weren't dead!" Hua Yuxian hugged Gu Liyan tightly and said.
The last time Gu Liyan saw Hua Yuxian in a hurry, he didn't dare to make a sound because he couldn't guess her purpose. This time, however, she showed him a lot of concern, which warmed his heart.
But just then, Gu Liyan suddenly raised his head and met another pair of eyes. He saw Su Xian'er looking at him angrily, saying nothing, and turning to walk straight into the backyard.
Gu Liyan's brow twitched, and his heart skipped a beat.
I finally confessed my feelings to her and got her approval, so I mustn't let Su Xian'er misunderstand!
Gu Liyan hurriedly pushed Hua Yuxian aside, "What are you doing here?"
"Actually, I've been here for more than five years..." Hua Yuxian lowered her head and said somewhat shyly, "I... I've been looking for you all this time."
Gu Liyan frowned slightly and said, "There are too many people and too many eyes here. I'll find you a room. You can stay here first."
Xiao Linzi looked at Hua Yuxian's face not with surprise as expected, but with shock and worry. "How could she be here? Has the location connecting to the Heavenly Palace gate been revealed...?"
The sudden appearance of Hua Yuxian and her stunning beauty made her memorable to those who were interested.
Her embrace with Gu Liyan was even rumored to be a legendary romance.
You are a beautiful woman, and you are an extraordinary man; this is a perfect match made in heaven.
Su Xian'er watched Gu Liyan and his companion go upstairs one after the other, and then heard the constant chatter in the hall:
"This fairy is far more beautiful than Miss Su!"
"Miss Su is still young, how can she be compared to a fairy!"
"I think if the waiter and Miss Su are together, then I, Fairy, can go and pursue them."
"Look at your pathetic state! Chasing after a fairy? Dream on!"
Hearing everyone's words, Su Xian'er pursed her lips and lowered her head. "Am I really not as good as her...?"
——
Gu Liyan led Hua Yuxian to the guest room. Before Gu Liyan could speak, Hua Yuxian smiled and said, "I searched many places and heard news about you, but in the end, all the clues went cold. Later, I heard that there is a Gathering Fate Tree here that can grant wishes, so I planned to come here to pray for blessings. I never expected to actually meet you."
By the end, Hua Yuxian's face was visibly flushed.
Gu Liyan, however, didn't seem to care and said, "I've actually been living here all along. The boss is my friend. No one is living here for the time being, so you can stay here for now."
As he spoke, Gu Liyan tried to avoid Hua Yuxian's affectionate gaze, "You rest first, I have something to do..."
"Wait!" Hua Yuxian grabbed Gu Liyan's hand.
At that moment, Su Xian'er walked to the door.
"Gu Liyan, I was not capable enough to help you before, please believe me!" Hua Yuxian looked at Gu Liyan with a sincere expression.
Gu Liyan withdrew her hand and said softly, "What happened before wasn't your fault, you don't need to take it to heart."
"Thank you. So... have you found Xiao Bai?" Hua Yuxian asked somewhat nervously.
