Never bow your head
Despite being warned so many times, Gu Liyan never expected that she would still forget it time and time again!
Leng Shaohan turned his gaze to the sky, the gray sky making him feel rather depressed. He let out a long breath and softly spoke to Gu Liyan:
"Gu Liyan, let me look at you one more time, I want to..."
At this point, Leng Shaohan clenched his fist and said, "I want to remember you for the rest of my life!"
Gu Liyan was taken aback, thinking that Leng Shaohan harbored resentment towards her and wanted to take revenge in the next life. However, she did not hesitate to take off her mask.
Since he wants to see it, let him see it.
If he wants to hate, then let him hate.
This is a debt he owes, which may take a lifetime or several lifetimes to repay.
A peach blossom unfolds between her brows, a purple lotus blooms between her eyebrows, a face of unparalleled beauty...
Even though it wasn't the first time he'd seen this face, Leng Shaohan was still stunned once again.
Childhood memories were instantly awakened—"Remember, stay away from the person with the peach blossom mark under their eyes and brows, they are your mortal calamity!"
A life-or-death ordeal?
What a life-or-death ordeal!
Leng Shaohan smiled bitterly. This life-or-death ordeal was just too perfect, making him willing to pay half a lifetime's price to preserve his beauty!
The warning that served as a lifelong lesson still seemed to echo in his ears, but it was no longer important to him now!
I've already crossed that warning line; there's no way back to the safe zone...
Leng Shaohan removed his mask, revealing a single, scalding tear that slid down his equally handsome face.
Do you regret it?
No regrets
Do you hate him?
—No hatred
Because Gu Liyan was the life he saved, he gave selflessly and had no regrets about their bond...
While Leng Shaohan was in a daze, Gu Liyan continued to use her life force to heal him. However, even so, the huge blood hole healed very slowly, and blood continued to gush out.
Before long, Gu Liyan felt that his spiritual energy was completely exhausted, and a wave of dizziness almost made him fall over.
Seeing that Gu Liyan's breathing was weakening, Leng Shaohan hurriedly pushed his hand away and scolded, "Foolish! Do you want to die with me?"
Upon hearing Leng Shaohan's words, Gu Liyan immediately looked up at him, her face contorted with grief, and said, "I can't let you die! You saved me, how can I let you die! I will save you, no matter what it takes!"
"Gu Liyan... have you forgotten what you promised me?" Leng Shaohan's voice softened as he pointed at Gu Liyan and said, "I can die, but you must fulfill your promise to me!"
“Leng Shaohan…”
Gu Liyan was about to retort when Leng Shaohan interrupted him, "Don't say sorry or anything. If you feel sorry for me, then fulfill our promise properly!"
Gu Liyan pursed his lips and nodded solemnly.
Leng Shaohan smiled with relief, and said calmly, "Gu Liyan, I was prepared from the very first moment I saw you..."
Gu Liyan looked at Leng Shaohan with a puzzled expression, not understanding his meaning.
"This is fate, this is my fate! It was destined from the very beginning..." Leng Shaohan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Perhaps, this is something I owed you in my past life..."
Leng Shaohan took a deep breath and stood up. Gu Liyan looked at him in confusion, not understanding what he was going to do.
Leng Shaohan looked at Tianqi, who was watching the show as an outsider, and coldly said, "Gu Liyan, you have to promise me one more thing..."
Seeing Tianqi's smug smile, Leng Shaohan's lips curled up slightly: "Remember, never let your enemies control you! Otherwise, I'll look down on you!"
Hearing Leng Shaohan's words carrying a hidden meaning, Tianqi narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at him.
What reason did Gu Liyan have to refuse? He nodded immediately and said, "I agree."
Leng Shaohan smiled slightly as he looked at the Flower Grief Pool. "You need to fill that pool with spiritual blood, right?"
Gu Liyan was stunned. Before he could speak, he saw Leng Shaohan transform into his true form, the Ice Silkworm.
Its enormous body was like a sparkling crystal, its pure color reflecting the "color of light," and it occupied most of the Sky City!
Gu Liyan stared blankly at Leng Shaohan's true form, momentarily speechless. However, what happened next left him even more stunned—
The enormous body seemed to explode, splattering countless drops of blood, and a rain of blood descended, completely filling the Flower Grief Pool!
Gu Liyan's eyes widened. Leng Shaohan was sacrificing his own body, self-destructing to let him pass this test!
It takes so much courage for a body to self-destruct...
Leng Shaohan reverted to human form and looked at Gu Liyan, speaking weakly, "Gu Liyan... I... this is all I can do for you..."
After saying that, Leng Shaohan's body collapsed limply to the ground.
"Shaohan—" Gu Liyan rushed over and supported his falling body.
Seeing Gu Liyan's concerned gaze, Leng Shaohan smiled slightly, "Gu Liyan... just now when I abandoned my original body... I suddenly saw you standing at the entrance of the Shelley Inn in my mind... Do you know what kind of place that is..."
Gu Liyan trembled, staring at Leng Shaohan in astonishment. In her memory, there was only one person connected to the Shelley Inn—
"You are...you are Xiao Linzi?" Gu Liyan's voice trembled as she looked at Leng Shaohan.
"Ah...it seems...it seems that's what you call me..." Leng Shaohan blinked wearily, his breathing becoming somewhat slow.
Looking at Leng Shaohan, who was covered in blood, and then thinking of Xiao Linzi, who had once taken care of him and shared drinks with him, Gu Liyan could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
