Alone in a small boat, the young man in white drifts through a cold and dark world; all of this is an unknown cycle of reincarnation—
Just as He Ruixin was about to enter the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, a figure suddenly rushed out of the pavilion. Before Hua Baixian could even see who it was, she was pulled into a hug, and heard the person's shivering voice say, "I'm freezing, I'm freezing to death!"
Rui Xin blinked, looking at Qian Mo with her legs wrapped around Hua Baixian's waist, and couldn't help but smile, "Qian Mo, I didn't expect you to be afraid of the cold too!"
"Nonsense! The chill emanating from the thousand-year-old ice is unbearable for most people!" Qian Mo blurted out without thinking, but then immediately realized that the speaker was Rui Xin and asked in surprise, "Xin'er, why are you running around like this too?!"
"Hehe, I came with Sister Flower Goddess!" Rui Xin smiled and pointed to Hua Baixian, whom Qian Mo was holding.
Qianmo was taken aback, then realized that he was still holding Hua Baixian. He said awkwardly, "Fairy sister, you're here too! Hehe, it feels like ages since we last met. I really missed you!"
Hua Baixian asked coldly, "Can you come down?"
"Ah? Oh! I'm sorry." Faced with Hua Baixian's indifferent face, Qianmo was startled and hurriedly let go and stood up obediently. Then, she said with a serious face, "Whether it is this time or the first time we meet, I have been rude. Please forgive me."
Rui Xin couldn't help but speak up, "Okay, don't be so formal, we actually have something important to discuss."
"Oh? What happened to Tianji Pavilion?" Qianmo asked curiously upon hearing this.
“It’s my friend Gu Liyan. He was taken to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion because I made a deal with Emperor Tianyi. His fate is now unknown,” Hua Baixian said.
"A deal? And their fates are still uncertain?" Qianmo stroked his chin and thought for a moment: Could it be that the handsome man is the Flower Goddess's friend?
Rui Xin's eyes flickered as she noticed a lifeline within the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion becoming dim and lifeless. She immediately exclaimed, "Sister Flower Goddess, we need to hurry! Big Brother's lifeline is about to disappear!"
Hua Baixian's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and she immediately rushed into the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. Before she could even react, Qian Mo hurriedly shouted, "Hey, hey, hey, don't go in! The Profound Ice Domain is not something you can withstand—hey!" Qian Mo urgently warned them loudly, but even so, Hua Baixian and Rui Xin still didn't turn around.
"Is there anyone in this world more curious than me?!" Qianmo's eyes widened. "Don't they know how terrifying the power of the Xuanbing Domain is?"
That extreme cold ice could pierce flesh and freeze the soul. In this world where he was all alone, Gu Liyan's soul was slowly and permanently frozen by it.
That is a world where everything is sealed at the bottom of the sea, a deep sea from which one can never escape once they fall into the abyss.
Dressed in white, he lay slumbering on the cold seabed, his expression peaceful, as if he were simply asleep…
——
The coldness seemed to freeze Hua Baixian's blood, but when she saw Gu Liyan encased in the Xuanbing ice, the coldness paled in comparison to the excruciating pain in her heart.
Hua Baixian couldn't help but choke up, and staggered to his side, "Gu Liyan..."
In the cold world, the fiery tears of blood flowed down Hua Baixian's cheeks and fell onto the ice, blooming into crimson teardrops.
Behind her, Rui Xin, who saw Gu Liyan for the first time, froze on the spot, utterly shocked. "It's him! It's actually him!"
Hua Baixian didn't notice Rui Xin's change. She casually picked up the divine weapon beside her and slashed at the ice.
Buzz—
The divine artifact trembled, but it didn't cause any cracks in the Xuanbing. Seeing this, Hua Baixian didn't give up. "Gu Liyan, wake up quickly! I have something to tell you!"
Hua Baixian kept slashing at Xuanbing, saying, "Gu Liyan, I wanted to leave with you. I refused because I didn't want to abandon the little fox... If I had known that the little fox was also you, I would have agreed to your request without hesitation!"
She didn't have time to explain that she rejected Gu Liyan because she was worried about the little fox running away, fearing that the tiny life would be discovered by other members of the Celestial Clan!
"If you tell me you're the little fox, I'll definitely leave with you!" Hua Baixian's vision blurred with tears. "We'll leave together, leave this heartless world together... Little fox, wait for me, wait for me! I'll save you, please don't give up, wait for me!"
Rui Xin watched Hua Baixian grow increasingly frantic, her small hands trembling slightly, a nameless sorrow welling up inside her.
At this moment, Qianmo, who had come in again, saw this and couldn't help but choke up. He then picked up his sword and joined the rescue operation.
Her goal was: regardless of whether he could become hers, such a handsome young man absolutely could not die!
"Ah!" Hua Baixian felt a sharp pain in her palm, only to find that the icy frost had already stuck her hand to the sword, and the divine weapon had become somewhat dull.
Without saying a word, Hua Baixian tore off her skin and flesh, the blood dripping onto the ice and seeping into the Xuanbing. Then she took out a new divine weapon from the weapons displayed nearby.
——
Thump thump thump...
In that once silent and dark sea of the heart, a heartbeat that conveyed the soul suddenly came.
Gu Liyan's tightly closed eyelashes twitched slightly. Just then, a warm current flowed into his body, making him feel comfortable all over. "So warm, it's like... being bathed in sunlight."
Slowly opening his eyes, he realized that his body was bound by countless chains from the seabed, unable to break free. "These are soul chains?! Right, because I extracted Jiu Chen, I used all my essence blood to wash away Jiu Chen's soul imprint. I have already..."
Is he dead?!
Gu Liyan gave a regretful, bitter smile. "Heh, although I knew it would end like this, I'm still a little unwilling!"
