Mo Chen's dispatch of Li Nezha to the East Sea to find the Dragon Pearl, and his deliberate provocation of Mu Qing to lure her back to Di Xin's side and seize the Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart, all seemed to be manipulated by an invisible hand.
Little did they know, someone had truly foreseen the future and orchestrated the fates of many—
Beneath the peach tree at this moment, an endless desolation pervades the scene, with only the handsome young man in white sleeping soundly, and his companion holding a fan, seemingly idle...
Gently fanning himself with a paper fan, Mo Chen's gaze fell on Gu Liyan's face, and he couldn't help but say with disdain, "The Realm Lord said that this guy's love tribulation was affecting this world. I didn't expect it to really be a love tribulation!"
As Mo Chen spoke, he looked up at the nearly withered peach tree, frowned slightly, and muttered to himself, "These peach blossoms are truly something to love and hate!"
Having said that, she lowered her head and looked at the fading peach blossom mark between Gu Liyan's eyebrows and eyes on his exquisite face, and couldn't help but curl her lips in disdain, "Tch, what a troublesome fox! If it weren't for the Lord of the Realm's orders, I would really like to leave you here!"
As he spoke, he helped Gu Liyan up and made him sit cross-legged. He placed his right hand on Gu Liyan's chest and continuously poured his energy into Gu Liyan's body.
Suddenly, Mo Chen noticed that Gu Liyan was automatically absorbing the energy within his body. His expression changed drastically. "What kind of cultivation technique is this guy practicing? How can he be unconsciously absorbing so much of my energy?!"
"Damn it..." Mo Chen's breath hitched, his consciousness gradually blurred, and he hurriedly pulled away with his last breath.
Unable to stop trembling, Mo Chen stared at Gu Liyan in shock. At this moment, almost all the energy in his body had been drained away!
"Gu Liyan, you, you stinking fox..." Mo Chen's body went limp and he fell straight to the ground. Looking at Gu Liyan, whose eyelashes were already slightly twitching, he couldn't help but curse angrily.
Just as Mo Chen collapsed to the ground, Gu Liyan suddenly opened his eyes. His purple eyes pierced through the sky and emitted a dazzling light...
"Nine Dusts Technique, Fourth Level - Nine Springs Underworld Night!"
Whoosh—
In an instant, the world suddenly lost its color, and the clear sky turned into night. This phenomenon terrified all living beings in the world...
"What's going on? Why is it so dark?"
Where did the sun go?
"A monster must be about to be born!"
...
Seeing this phenomenon, the ignorant masses all interpreted it as a harbinger of impending disaster.
Gu Liyan suppressed the starlight in his eyes, looked at the withering peach blossoms, and said indifferently, "The calamity arose and the fate ended, all because of the vow made under the peach tree... I never thought that in the end I would be the one to ruin us!"
Gu Liyan understood that if they hadn't made that promise, they wouldn't have had to go through such pain, or at least the outcome wouldn't have been so painful...
Upon waking from the dream, Gu Liyan finally understood!
Shua Lala—
A sudden gust of wind accelerated the falling of the petals.
Time, as if it were something you couldn't grasp, seemed to speed up its passage in the wind!
It is urging
Fate and vicissitudes!
Gu Liyan stared coldly at the peach tree that seemed to understand human hearts, and softly said, "I don't have the ability to conceal all fate, nor am I strong enough to protect a pure land. I only want to protect the one I love!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Liyan's purple eyes flashed with indifference as he looked at the peach tree. With that one glance, he saw through its very essence and said, "I could create you yesterday, and I can destroy you today!"
Gu Liyan raised his hand, and the jade flute, Chang Shang, began to play clear, melodious notes. The determination in Gu Liyan's eyes was tinged with coldness.
"Nine Dusts Technique - The Tragedy of Judgment!"
The jade flute, "Long Lament," flew directly towards the peach tree, transforming into countless firefly-like flying swords that attacked the cherry blossom tree.
In the blink of an eye, the cherry blossom tree was pierced beyond recognition by countless flying swords. Gu Liyan frowned, feeling the sorrow emanating from the peach tree and the memories it carried. Suddenly, a faint pain arose deep within his heart, affected by it...
The etched pain in my heart comes from my love with Su Xian'er, filled with regret, sorrow, and the helplessness of remorse… And countless unknown people come before the peach blossoms, uttering vows of holding hands and growing old together—
This moved Gu Liyan deeply, but it was precisely because of this that he saw the beginning of this romantic calamity.
It wasn't content to be just a tree, a tree that could only listen to other people's stories! Slowly, it longed to see the world with its own eyes, to be attached to this painful mortal realm, and to encounter more love in human form...
"I see!" Gu Liyan sighed, a hint of regret in his eyes, and said, "Hurting me was not your intention, so I will give you a chance!"
A hint of sympathy flashed across Gu Liyan's brows. She raised her hand, and a gentle light enveloped it, a ball of pink light condensing in her palm.
"For seven days in total, my body will belong to you for three hours each day. You can use this body to explore the world! If you dare to do anything that violates moral principles, I will surely annihilate you completely!" Gu Liyan finished speaking and implanted it into his own body—
Mo Chen sat next to Gu Liyan, munching on a chicken leg and sipping fine wine, his brow furrowed in confusion. "So, you kept her here? With such a troublemaker, are you sure you can handle her?"
Gu Liyan sighed, "After all, Tao'er was born because of me, and I need to be responsible for her!"
Mo Chen couldn't help but smile wryly, "I'm really impressed with you, you're such a pushover!"
"Aren't you the same? You actually used all your power to awaken me..." Gu Liyan smiled wickedly and put his arm around Mo Chen's shoulder. "I'm telling you, we're in the same boat now, so stop acting like you don't care, okay?"
