Lei Li chuckled and said, "Don't even think about escaping. After tonight, your soul will be separated from your body and dissipate. Even a great immortal can't save you!"
Gu Liyan chuckled calmly, "Is that so...that's quite a pity..."
Seeing that Gu Liyan showed no fear, Lei Li immediately raised his whip and lashed it across Gu Liyan's body, making a series of cracking sounds, while mockingly saying, "So—let me—treat you well—before you set off—"
"Uh—" Gu Liyan curled up in a ball, hugging herself tightly.
Seeing that Gu Liyan offered no resistance, Lei Li was immediately in high spirits. Just as he was enjoying the beating, Lei Dong suddenly walked in. "Lei Li, Master is calling you. Go and see."
Lei Li put away his whip, looking puzzled. "Why is Master calling me at this time?"
"I don't know either. You should go and check. Maybe it's something important." Lei Dong didn't even glance at Lei Li and walked towards Gu Liyan.

"You let me go once, so I'll let you go once. It's fair!" Lei Dong looked at Gu Liyan calmly.
"You, you're not afraid..." Gu Liyan opened his mouth.
“I’m afraid, but I also have my own principles! You could have killed me back then, but you let me go. If I had turned around and killed you, that would have been repaying kindness with enmity!” Lei Dong said seriously.
Gu Liyan couldn't help but smile. "You're quite an interesting fellow. If we weren't on opposing sides, I think we could become friends."
"But... that's just a hypothetical."
