"Master, Master, now that the marriage thread has been tied, these two people will never be separated, right?" Little Li wagged her tail and pointed at the couple her master had just tied up, asking with a curious expression.
"Fool, there is no such thing as forever in this world!" The man gently patted Gu Liyan's head, shook his head with a wry smile, and said.
"Huh? But Master, didn't you say that as long as you're connected by a marriage thread, two people who love each other can be together?" Xiao Li frowned, increasingly puzzled.
"Have you forgotten the premise of the marriage line? No betrayal, no end of death." The man said calmly, "Moreover, human emotions are fickle, and they are destined to face death, so for them, there is no such thing as forever!"
"How could this be! Humans are so fragile..." Little Li muttered to herself, her fox ears drooping in disappointment.
"Don't worry, if one day you find someone you like who is human, you can use your destined marriage line to help her extend her life and achieve the same lifespan as you."
Little Li's eyes lit up. "Really, Master?"
"But you must remember, if your destined marriage line is broken, you will forever lose the protection of Yuan Yuan Jiu Chen and become just an ordinary fox!"
——
"Pfft..."
Gu Liyan's face was deathly pale, and drops of hot blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Upon seeing this, Su Xian'er was immediately shocked and felt a sharp pain in her heart: "Gu Liyan..."
Seeing Su Xian'er's panicked expression, Gu Liyan suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahahaha... I never expected that you would betray me first!"
Su Xian'er was stunned. "What, what do you mean?"
"Hmph, you still think you're the reincarnation of my lover? I'm just using your healing abilities!" Gu Liyan chuckled wickedly, squinting at Su Xian'er. "I secretly absorb your essence and blood every day so my body can recover! Otherwise, why do you think I keep you by my side?"
Su Xian'er was so frightened that she involuntarily stepped back. She remembered that Gu Liyan had come to her once or twice in her dreams and drawn blood from her finger. Could it have been then...?
"No, it can't be..." Su Xian'er looked at the bloodstains on Gu Liyan's lips and thought of the pale face under the mask. She shook her head firmly. Gu Liyan had never harmed her!
"Hahaha..." Gu Liyan raised his head and laughed loudly, "Indeed, women among humans are the most foolish! Bewitching you women is indeed the best choice!"
Su Xian'er turned pale with fright. Could it be that Gu Liyan had targeted more than just her? Were there others involved?
That's impossible!
"You, you're lying!" Su Xian'er clenched her small fists and exclaimed, "You never hurt me!"
"Hmph, of course I didn't harm you, otherwise how could I have fooled everyone! You, a mere ant of a human, dare to dream of being with someone of noble blood like me? Do you think you're worthy?"
Su Xian'er's legs went weak and she sat down on the ground. Looking at Gu Liyan's angry eyes, her heart turned to ice.
I liked everything about him...
She was just deluding herself!
Su Xian'er covered her mouth, her eyes slightly red, and instantly became teary-eyed. "Gu Liyan, how could you lie to me!"
Gu Liyan sneered, "Why can't I? I'm a demon! You believe what a demon says? You're incredibly stupid!"
Su Xian'er's tears fell instantly as she glared angrily at Gu Liyan and shouted, "Gu Liyan...you will die a horrible death!"
Gu Liyan trembled, his heart aching terribly, but his lips still held a calm smile. "You little ant, do you think your curse will come true? You're truly overestimating yourself!"
Su Xian'er never wanted to see Gu Liyan again, so she turned around and ran back to the bridal sedan chair, bursting into tears.
Gu Liyan watched Su Xian'er leave before turning his gaze to Di Xin.
Di Xin coldly looked at Gu Liyan, "Gu Liyan, is that it? You've offended my woman, you should leave something behind!"
Gu Liyan gave him a cold look but didn't say anything.
Di Xin squinted and waved his hand, and the crowd surrounded Gu Liyan.
Unaware of the threats around him, Gu Liyan's gaze was fixed on the bridal sedan chair behind Di Xin, and now, his heart was unusually calm.
Su Xian'er...
How could I not see your predicament? I understand human emotions! We've experienced such joys and sorrows together. Isn't it precisely because you chose to leave that I'm standing here waiting for you to turn back?
Although the outcome was somewhat sad...
but--
Silly girl! Don't look so distressed in front of me! If you keep looking so sad, I really don't know how to continue this act!
This outcome must be hard for you to accept, right? But it's okay, it's really okay! You're not afraid of pain, and neither am I! Let's each carry our last secrets and our dignity as we bid each other farewell!
But I'm so unwilling to accept this. You said Di Xin could give you everything, but I really want to tell you that only I can give you this—
That's what lasts forever!
A tender look flashed in Gu Liyan's eyes. Upon seeing this, Di Xin flew into a rage. Without hesitation, he raised his bow and arrow, aimed it at Gu Liyan's chest, and shot it straight at her.
The latter, Gu Liyan, did not dodge at all, letting the arrow pierce his chest, and instantly the hot blood stained his white shirt.
A fierce glint flashed in Gu Liyan's eyes. "This is what I owe her! Treat her well, or... I will definitely destroy your empire and then take her back!"
With that, he turned to leave.
Di Xin was slightly taken aback, not expecting Gu Liyan to say such a thing. Looking at Gu Liyan's back, he suddenly understood that Gu Liyan's love for Su Xian'er was so deep!
Di Xin threw down his bow and arrows, clenching his fists in anger—
He absolutely cannot be allowed to live!
No matter how much Di Xin hated Gu Liyan, no one around him dared to stop him now, even though he was covered in wounds...
Watching Gu Liyan's retreating figure, Li Jing sighed. He had already realized that Gu Liyan had never betrayed Su Xian'er in any way!
The red sedan chair made no stops and headed straight for Chaoge.
Gu Liyan stood still, looking back at the bridal sedan chair in the distance. Despite his excellent eyesight, he did not see Su Xian'er turn around.
Even a single glance—
Su Xian'er remained silent in the bridal sedan chair, her eyes filled with indifference, her hand tightly gripping Di Xin's...
A few days later, Di Xin and his entourage rushed to Chaoge City overnight, arriving in the middle of the night.
Unbeknownst to all of them, Gu Liyan had been following them all along, escorting Su Xian'er all the way to the outskirts of Chaoge City.
Watching his beloved depart, Gu Liyan finally felt physically exhausted, and his consciousness became increasingly blurred.
Xian'er
My Little Bai
That's all I'll send you here in this life.
Wishing you happiness...
The rain poured down, and Gu Liyan fell straight to the ground, gradually losing consciousness.
