"You framed Young Master Mo, you don't even deserve to be called a human being!"
"Go back to your Great Serpent Kingdom! The Dragon Kingdom doesn't welcome you!"
Wang Qi was trembling with rage, pointing at the crowd and yelling, "You bunch of ignorant fools! Do you think you're good people? You are..."
Wang Qi's words came to an abrupt halt, and everyone stared in astonishment at what lay behind him. Little did they know that a dagger had pierced Wang Qi's heart from behind.
Wang Qi looked down at her chest in disbelief, her hot blood flowing uncontrollably. She turned her head slightly and saw that Huo Tong was standing behind her!
"You, you bastard..." Before Wang Qi could finish speaking, Huo Tong ruthlessly pulled out a dagger.
The light in Wang Qi's eyes waned, and she collapsed weakly to the ground, her body gradually growing cold...
Huo Tong stomped on Wang Qi's foot and coldly said, "You vixen, today I will act on behalf of Heaven!"
"good!"
The crowd applauded and cheered.
Huo Tong became smug, but upon seeing Mo Han's gloomy face on the stage, he immediately dared not act rashly and respectfully said, "Commander Mo, I was deceived by the slander of a villain. Please forgive me, Commander Mo! I, Huo Tong, swear that I will follow you and drive all the snake people back to the Great Snake Kingdom!"
Mo Han looked at Huo Tong expressionlessly, "Send them back to the Great Serpent Kingdom, and then what?"
Then?
Huo Tong looked at Mo Han, wondering if killing Wang Qi to show his surrender was not enough.
As Mo Han watched Huo Tong's injuries gradually heal, she suddenly smiled and said, "Alright, from now on you will follow me. When the poisonous fog dissipates, tomorrow we will muster the army and drag out all the snake people from the royal city!"
Huo Tong breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and secretly rejoiced as he looked at Wang Qi lying on the ground.
A red snake slithered out from the crowd, disappeared into the alley in a flash!
The Liu family closed their doors. Liu Mengxian placed Gu Liyan on the bed, lay down beside him, and gently spoke with her head on his chest, "Little Li, do you know? What I like most is being in your warm embrace. It's not just warm, but also makes me feel safe. But... right now, you make my heart flutter with panic, and I feel terribly cold."
"You know what? In every lifetime, I've dreamed of a day when we could let go of everything and live a blissful life as a divine couple, with you farming and me tending the flowers..."
"Oh right, I almost forgot we still have Xiao Tao. We can't forget about her. It's been a long time since we've seen her. Perhaps she's grown into an adult by now? I don't think you clearly remember whether Xiao Tao was ultimately identified as a boy or a girl."
"Xiao Li, do you remember? Where did we first meet? That's right, it was the Heavenly Palace! I saw you back then when you were still a fox. It was the first time I saw you so tragically yet so adorably. I told myself then and there that since I had met you, I would take responsibility for this fox's life and death!"
"Later, when I went out to pick flowers, you appeared before me as a young man in white. I was stunned and mesmerized. In that instant, I silently made a promise to myself that I would marry no one but the one before me! In truth, you are just too beautiful, so perfect that I am ashamed of myself!"
At this point, Liu Mengxian couldn't stop her tears from falling, and choked out, "When you reappeared and wanted to take me away, I didn't know how to tell you that I hoped to go to the ends of the earth with you, and also take that weak little fox with me... I even doubted that I liked both you and that fox!"
"It turns out I was right; the feeling of liking you is only for you. But I regret it so much; my choice back then was wrong! We missed our chance to leave, and it was my fault that you were kidnapped. All these misfortunes are because of my wrong choice!"
Liu Mengxian's face was streaked with tears, her body trembling in Gu Liyan's arms. "I saved you not so you could save me, but because I love you, I didn't want you to die, I didn't want you to get hurt! Why, why were you so foolish, protecting me life after life, getting hurt for me life after life? If you wanted to make it up to me, all of this would have been enough! Why did you have to live such a painful life alone? Why did you still hold onto hope even in pain? Why did you still try to redeem me even when you were riddled with wounds?"
Liu Mengxian cried uncontrollably. If Gu Liyan were still awake, she would have loved to ask him what kind of power made him sacrifice so much!
"In that life, I was a flower fairy. I met you at the right time, but I missed the best opportunity to hold your hand and travel the world together. One mistake led to another, and in the end, we were separated by life and death."
"In that life, I was Su Xian'er. I waited for you and longed for your appearance, but I couldn't hold on until the end. I have no resentment or hatred, only regret that I didn't get to see you one last time before I left!"
"In that life, my name was Mulan. I had a lot of resentment in my heart. I resented that I knew you loved me too late, I resented that I could only watch you walk into the Yellow Springs helplessly, and I resented that I could not do anything for you for the sake of the world!"
"In that life, I was Gu Yixian. The happiest thing was the time I spent with you, having Xiao Tao with you, and being able to protect you in the end!"
"In that life, I was An Qianbai. I was cowardly and incompetent, afraid of power. I killed you, my most beloved one. Even if I am haunted by your memory and try to atone with my soul, hoping to be by your side to see you one more time, it is all in vain!"
"In that life, I smiled at Hua Xiaoxiao, innocent and romantic but foolish and ignorant, causing you and Xiaotao to sacrifice for me."
"In that life, I was Qingge. We went through hardships together but couldn't stay together for life. The final outcome was not what I wanted. But Xiao Li, do you know? I'll wait for you where you left, until you wither and turn to ashes, until the end of my life!" Liu Mengxian held Gu Liyan's hand tightly and said with a smile, "I don't regret waiting for you, because I know that you waited for me in the same way!"
