Gu Liyan's body temperature had dropped and he had become cold. Liu Mengxian held his hand tightly, trying to warm him with her own body heat, but it was no use.
“He didn’t die, right? No matter how many lifetimes he’s been searching for me, he won’t leave me this time either, right?!” Liu Mengxian stroked Gu Liyan’s face and spoke softly.
But that stunningly beautiful face, as if asleep, showed no reaction whatsoever, not even a stealthy breath.
Mo Han couldn't express her emotions; she felt neither anger nor joy. She could only let out a long sigh and say, "Every time, he would sacrifice himself for you. This time, he chose to die for you... I hope you won't let him down again."
Liu Mengxian clenched her fists, suppressing the tears in her eyes. She gently placed Gu Liyan on the ground, slowly stood up, and turned to the crowd, saying, "He wasn't the poisoner. He just wanted to collect the toxins from the water to find the antidote, but someone turned the bottle he was using into poison. It was all a setup! Also, I lied just now. Mo Li did give me the medicinal herbs, but Wang Qi destroyed them herself. Everything was hindered by a woman. If it weren't for her... I would have already developed the antidote!"
Everyone suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Wang Qi with anger.
Wang Qi hurriedly spoke up, "Everyone, don't listen to her nonsense! Liu Mengxian just said that Mo Li didn't give her the medicinal herbs, how could she so easily pin the blame on me after he died? In the end, it's because you're incompetent and unable to make the antidote, so you're pushing all the responsibility onto me!"
Liu Mengxian laughed and said, "If you hadn't controlled my mind, I wouldn't have been controlled by you, and I wouldn't have wronged Xiao Li, causing him to die a tragic death."
Wang Qi spoke arrogantly, "Don't you dare wrong an innocent person! What evidence do you have?"
"Evidence? You think I can't produce it? However, no matter how many people here believe me, I, Liu Mengxian, will shatter your snake people's conspiracy today!"
Wang Qi sneered at Liu Mengxian. Now that Gu Liyan was dead, there was no antidote other than his blood. Moreover, the Imperial City Plan had already been implemented.
Liu Mengxian's chances of thwarting the conspiracy lie in Gu Liyan coming back to life!
Wang Qi, who had been looking on with a smug and lucky expression, was stunned for the next second. Under everyone's watchful eyes, Liu Mengxian had completely changed. Her short hair had instantly grown to her waist, and her shirt had turned into a pink long skirt, making her look like a fairy descending to earth!
"A fairy has descended to earth!"
"Quickly kneel and worship the fairy!"
"May a fairy descend to earth and bless us!" Upon seeing Liu Mengxian before them, everyone knelt down and prayed fervently.
Wang Qi was completely stunned. "This, this is impossible! You, you used an illusion! There are absolutely no fairies in this world!"
Liu Mengxian squinted at Wang Qi and coldly said, "Since you don't believe me, then I'll show you a miracle!"
After saying this, Liu Mengxian stretched out her arms and exclaimed, "Life is endless, all things are revived!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the poisonous fog was dispelled by a warm current, and all life seemed to be reborn.
"It's amazing! I feel like I have energy again!"
"Ah! Your face is getting rosy."
The crowd rejoiced and cheered for this magical and great power, shouting, "Long live the fairy!"
Seeing everyone's excited expressions, Liu Mengxian showed no joy. Even though the grass was sprouting and the flowers were blooming, everything was a new beginning! But…
"Heh, you survived..." Liu Mengxian looked at Gu Liyan and sneered, "But he's gone!"
Liu Mengxian returned to Gu Liyan's side, and looking at his tightly closed eyes, she felt a pang of pain in her heart. Until the moment of his death, Gu Liyan was in excruciating pain, both physically and mentally!
Tears welled in Liu Mengxian's eyes as she murmured to herself, "Xiao Li, you are indeed so selfish! Giving me back the cycle of life, handing me back the memories of us—do you not want to remember me anymore? Or are you torturing me, making me experience the loneliness and pain you've felt?"
His time stopped at a certain minute and second, never moving forward again, and his timeline will never intersect with Liu Mengxian's...
Liu Mengxian picked him up and felt that his body was very light, like a withered flower without any vitality.
Seeing Gu Liyan's pale face, Liu Mengxian forced back her tears and choked out, "Little Li, I'll take you back. I have so much to tell you. You only know your own story, but you don't know mine. I want to tell you everything!"
Liu Mengxian walked off the stage with tears streaming down her face. Everyone hurriedly made way for her, watching her walk past with a face full of grief and tears, and dared not go up to speak.
Just as Liu Mengxian walked up to Wang Qi, she suddenly turned her gaze to Wang Qi and coldly said, "Baichuan, if it weren't for your interference and framing of Xiao Li, he wouldn't have died! However, Xiao Li said he sympathized with you, so I will show mercy and spare your life today! Don't think that just because no one is taking your life now, I'm warning you, it doesn't mean you'll never pay with your life! From today onwards, you will live in repentance forever, and there will be no place for you in this royal city!"
After saying that, Liu Mengxian left and walked away.
Wang Qi's face was terribly gloomy. He never believed that Liu Mengxian was a fairy with divine powers.
After Liu Mengxian left, everyone pointed at Wang Qi and said:
"Drive her out of the capital!"
"Witch, leave the royal city!"
Wang Qi, her face contorted with rage, coldly retorted, "What are you saying about me? You dare call me a witch? Do you want to die?!"
Under Wang Qi's threats, the crowd not only showed no fear, but instead pointed at Wang Qi and cursed, "Witch, you'll die a horrible death!"
