An Qianshan pinched An Qianbai's chin and said in a mocking tone, "An Hun, An Hun, you are nothing more than a soul living in your daughter's body. Do you still want to treat me like you did twenty years ago? Or do you think I'm still that ignorant little demon under your command?! How naive!"
Upon hearing An Qianshan's words, Gu Liyan stared at him in astonishment, "You, you're also a demon?!"
"He doesn't deserve to be a human or a demon! He's just a half-demon rejected by the world!" An Qianbai said indignantly. "I saved him and gave him everything, but I never expected that he would betray me for personal gain. I never expected that he would even think of betraying his own wife and children now!"
An Qianbai clenched her fists, making no attempt to hide the resentment on her face as she looked at An Qianshan.
An Qianshan sneered, "Hmph, say whatever you want. In my eyes, you humans are nothing but ants. You can't escape birth, aging, sickness, and death. In the end, only the strong will remain in this world!"
Gu Liyan could understand An Qianshan's madness. He was right. Compared to their demon race, the lifespan of humans was nothing more than that of an ant barely surviving in the world.
but……
Gu Liyan raised his head and looked at An Qianbai's familiar face, and said softly, "You're wrong. Some people live as if they're dead, and some people die as if they're alive!"
An Qianshan narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "What do you mean? You know the secret of immortality, don't you!"
Gu Liyan didn't say anything, only chuckled, his face full of mockery.
Seeing Gu Liyan's confident expression, An Qianshan couldn't sit still any longer. He moved swiftly and stood in front of Gu Liyan, shouting, "You fox demon, do you know some secret to immortality? Tell me now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Liyan felt his breath catch in his throat. His entire body was suspended in mid-air, and his feet instantly left the ground. An Qianshan was gripping his neck tightly with both hands, his eyes filled with bloodlust as he questioned him.
"Speak! What do you know?!"
"Ah... I... even if I knew... I wouldn't, I wouldn't tell you!" Gu Liyan's lips curled into a mocking smile.
Seeing Gu Liyan's mockery, An Qianshan was furious. She freed one hand and pinched Gu Liyan's deep, bone-revealing wound tightly, saying hatefully, "Hurry up and talk!"
"Ah—" Gu Liyan cried out in pain.
"Speak up! Speak now!!" An Qianshan glared at Gu Liyan with a ferocious expression.
An Qianshan should have realized long ago that Gu Liyan not only suppressed the poison in An Qianbai's body but also restored her appearance. He must have some kind of power that can bring the dead back to life and grant them eternal youth!
He must get it!
It must be in his hands!
Thinking about his desires, An Qianshan's strength increased even more.
"Uh..." Gu Liyan started slapping An Qianshan's hand repeatedly. He was scared. This madman had no idea that he had lost all his magic power and could not communicate with him telepathically. If An Qianshan continued to abuse him like this, he would die!
Seeing Gu Liyan's increasingly pained expression, An Qianbai was terrified and rushed over to grab An Qianshan's hand, anxiously saying, "What are you doing? Stop it! Stop it now! You'll kill him! If he dies, you'll never know the truth!"
Seeing An Qianbai pleading for Gu Liyan, An Qianshan remained unmoved and instead exerted even more force!
A trickle of blood appeared at the corner of Gu Liyan's mouth; his face was contorted in pain, and his complexion flushed red.
Gu Liyan's strength in slapping An Qianshan's hand suddenly weakened, and his eyes began to gradually become glazed. Seeing Gu Liyan's weak and feeble appearance, An Qianshan finally realized what was happening and hurriedly let go of his hand, throwing him to the ground.
"Cough cough...cough cough cough..." Gu Liyan coughed as he coughed up the blood in his throat, then collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
"Gu Liyan, are you alright?" An Qianbai rushed forward to comfort him.
Gu Liyan waved his hand, his voice hoarse and weak, "I'm... fine..."
An Qianshan narrowed his eyes at Gu Liyan and said coldly, "Speak, what exactly do you know?"
Gu Liyan smiled as he looked at An Qianshan. He should have known long ago what kind of big boss awaited him in this world. He never expected that in the end it would be a half-demon who also pursued immortality and had wild fantasies!
That makes things much simpler—
Gu Liyan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a fox-like smile, then he shrugged with an innocent expression, "I don't know what you're talking about, Hall Master An..."
An Qianshan's face flushed red, and he angrily raised his foot and kicked Gu Liyan in the stomach with all his might. "Playing dumb? Do you know the secret to immortality? Tell me!"
"Uh..." Gu Liyan was kicked away by An Qianshan and crashed directly into the iron bars of the cage with a dull thud.
"Pfft..." Gu Liyan coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, his whole body aching and weak, causing him to curl up into a ball and lie on the ground, trembling from time to time.
Seeing this, An Qianshan wanted to go forward and continue fighting, but An Qianbai pounced on Gu Liyan, hugged her in his arms, and shouted loudly to An Qianshan, "Father, if you kill Xiao Li, I will never forgive you in this lifetime!"
An Qianshan trembled upon hearing An Qianbai's voice and froze on the spot.
When Gu Liyan heard the word "Xiao Li", he laughed out loud, "Ha, Xiao Bai... Is it you?"
An Qianbai held Gu Liyan in her arms, watching his white clothes stained with bright red blood. Tears streamed down her face as she choked out, "It was me, it was my mother who gave me back control of my body. Xiao Li, I'm so sorry for causing you such serious injuries. That kick he gave you just now must have hurt a lot, right?"
