A touch of red makeup
A Dance That Intoxicates the Soul
A long song laments the endless night.
Su Xian'er looked at herself in the bronze mirror; dressed in a red wedding gown, she was stunningly beautiful!
"Miss, the sedan chair outside is ready. We can set off now," Xiao Cui excitedly ran in and announced.
Su Xian'er got up and walked towards the door expressionlessly.
Upon arriving at the gate of the Su residence, Di Xin couldn't help but smile when he saw Su Xian'er's appearance. This beauty was ultimately his!
Su Xian'er glanced at Di Xin, who was all smiles, and then at Su Hu, who was bowing his head respectfully. Without saying anything, she got into the bridal sedan chair.
"Let's go!"
Di Xin smiled and pulled Su Xian'er's hand to his side. Su Xian'er resisted and pulled it away, her eyes filled with undisguised disgust.
"Hmph, if you dare to disobey me, I will be angry!" Di Xin said coldly.
Su Xian'er lowered her head and said nothing.
Upon seeing this, Di Xin took her hand and said, "Don't worry, I promise you that as long as you behave well, I will give you everything you want!"
Su Xian'er silently closed her eyes.
Just then, a startled cry came from behind.
"Who goes there? Protect the Emperor!"
A masked man in white walked towards them from behind, knocking down anyone who tried to stop him.
"General Li, go and take a look!" Di Xin said.
Li Jing frowned, a bad feeling creeping over him. "Yes!"
Gu Liyan held the jade flute Chang Shang in his hand, his face calm and composed. Anyone who came within a meter of him was knocked to the ground.
Instead of killing it, he strode towards the red bridal sedan chair ahead.
He knew she was there!
The crowd parted to make way, and Li Jing stepped forward. Upon seeing Gu Liyan, he couldn't help but sigh, as if he were the one who had arrived. He said directly, "Su Xian'er has already decided to marry the King. You should go back!"
Gu Liyan raised his head to meet Li Jing's gaze and said calmly, "Xian'er likes me, I think you know that!"
Li Jing shook his head and earnestly advised, "Gu Liyan, but now he likes Su Xian'er and the King. You are all alone, and you can't possibly defeat him!" Li Jing frowned as he spoke.
"Ha! So? I should just let Xian'er marry him?" Gu Liyan gripped Chang Shang tightly and sneered. "Does being king mean that he can take away other people's love as a matter of course?"
“Gu Liyan, you’d better not challenge the imperial authority! It won’t do you any good!” Li Jing said.
Gu Liyan burst into laughter, his eyes flashing with icy coldness. "Hahaha, imperial power? How laughable! In the face of absolute power, what do you think imperial power is?"
Li Jing gritted his teeth, drew his sword and pointed it at him, saying, "Gu Liyan, if you don't listen to my advice, don't blame me for taking action!"
Gu Liyan's face was gloomy as he looked at Li Jing and coldly said, "Su Xian'er and I love each other. Why are you stopping us from being together? Do you think that being an emperor gives you the right to take away someone else's love at will?"
"I apologize, although I find this shameful, but I cannot disobey the imperial decree!" Li Jing said, frowning.
Gu Liyan couldn't help but sneer, "Hmph, in the end you're just a lackey!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Liyan leaped up and stepped into the void, shouting, "Hand over Su Xian'er to me, otherwise, I can't guarantee whether this land will still have any life tomorrow!"
At this moment, Gu Liyan no longer cared about world peace or the so-called path of justice; all he wanted now was for Su Xian'er to be with him!
She is the only one who cannot be possessed by anyone else!
Li Jing narrowed his eyes, a murderous glint in them. "Fox demon, if you remain stubborn, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Gu Liyan glanced at it coldly, then raised the Changshang sword in his hand. "Changshang, fight alongside me today!"
The jade flute seemed to have come to life, transforming into a streak of light that shot out of Gu Liyan's hand, spun several times in the air, and then turned into a jade sword before returning to Gu Liyan's hand.
Immediately, Gu Liyan swooped down and attacked Li Jing directly—
Not far away, Su Xian'er saw Gu Liyan the moment he stepped into the void. The person she had been longing for was right in front of her. How could she not be excited: "Xiao Li!"
With that, he jumped down from the bridal sedan chair. Di Xin frowned, grabbed a bow and arrow from a guard, and chased after him.
Amidst the chaotic clash of swords, Li Jing grew increasingly astonished by Gu Liyan's power. He was not using sorcery at all, but rather a profound and mysterious Taoist sword technique!
"Gu Liyan, who exactly are you?!" Li Jing hurriedly retreated during the opening.
Gu Liyan said coldly, "As you know, I am the fox demon!"
Li Jing gritted his teeth, sheathed his sword, and began to chant an incantation.
Gu Liyan raised an eyebrow, only to see Li Jing take out a seven-story exquisite pagoda.
"Gu Liyan, I thought you were a good demon, and I didn't want to use the Linglong Pagoda to deal with you, but today you have truly disappointed me!" Li Jing said coldly.
Gu Liyan stepped forward without fear and couldn't help but smile, "The Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, I didn't expect to meet it here!"
Li Jing was taken aback. "What?"
Gu Liyan's eyes were filled with longing. After all, his master had left without saying goodbye, and he didn't know where he was now.
Just as Li Jing was about to cast a spell when he saw Gu Liyan lost in thought, Su Xian'er rushed forward and snatched the spell away, standing between Gu Liyan and Li Jing.
"Miss Su, what are you doing?" Li Jing was shocked, not expecting Su Xian'er to suddenly appear.
"You two stop fighting! Gu Liyan and I have something to say!" Su Xian'er turned to look at Gu Liyan with a serious expression.
Gu Liyan was overjoyed upon seeing Su Xian'er, exclaiming, "Xian'er..."
