He had just been reborn when he was imprisoned by his nemesis, the Empress?

Since it's Bai Li, it's perfectly normal for her to lick your ears.

Xu Yi sighed softly and reached out to press down on her wrist.

"Bai Li, can you please stop pretending to be Xue Si? It's really hurting me."

"I've always been honest and open with you, without holding anything back, so why do you always have to deceive me like this?"

Her wrist was pressed against a warm palm, and upon hearing the name "Bai Li" again, the calm on her face completely crumbled, and she could no longer maintain her facade.

"Xu Yi, how...how did you figure that out?"

Why do you still remember me, this little white fox, in this life?

Xu Yi simply looked at her quietly without saying a word.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Bai Li felt a little flustered by his gaze and subconsciously pressed him for an answer.

Xu Yi's gaze darkened, revealing obvious disappointment.

"You've been lying to me all along, why should I talk?"

"I...I didn't mean to lie to you, I just...didn't want to lose you too soon!"

Bai Li hurriedly defended herself, her voice choked with emotion.

Xu Yi frowned, his tone filled with confusion.

"Tell me, 'Who exactly are you?' How can you talk about losing me? What kind of logic is that?"

Bai Li lowered her head in grievance, her snow-white eyelashes trembling slightly.

"If you knew that I was Bai Li, it wouldn't be long before you asked me to take you to those two very powerful women."

"At that time, they definitely won't allow me to exist."

After hearing this, Xu Yi slowly looked at her.

"You...know about the two women beside me?"

"Um."

Bai Li nodded gently, her eyes reddening.

"I searched for your reincarnation for over five hundred years, and only this month have I finally found you."

"At first, I saw the three of you together enjoying yourselves, and I thought I wouldn't disturb you in this life, so that you could live a peaceful and happy life."

So I found a place to stay in this world.

"I was thinking of watching you from afar for a while before heading back."

She sniffed and continued.

"But I never expected that fate would arrange for us to meet."

"You and one of the women insisted on sealing your spiritual power and slid recklessly across the snow-capped mountain, which resulted in an avalanche..."

"I know it's time for me to repay this kindness."

"I rushed forward and saved you from unconsciousness; in fact, I also saw her."

"But seeing that she was only buried in the snow and was not seriously injured, I carried you away."

"I didn't dare bring her along, after all, if she breaks the seal, her strength is just too terrifying."

"I can tell she's a very controlling woman."

"I'm afraid that once she wakes up, she'll take you away immediately."

"That's why I brought you here to hide, and even disguised my identity."

As Xu Yi listened to her recount her story word by word, he was unable to blame her any longer.

If the other person truly searched for five hundred years, just to find his reincarnation, then her devotion...

Xu Yi was already beyond reproach.

He remained silent for a long time, but finally asked the last question that had been lingering in his mind, his tone much calmer.

"So, is my illness real or not?"

Bai Li immediately looked up, her eyes extremely serious, and nodded emphatically.

"It's true, it's absolutely true. I would never joke about your body."

Halfway through her sentence, she lowered her head again, her voice weak and filled with remorse.

"However, all those fabricated details about the illness I just made up are definitely fake..."

"Just now, while we were sleeping, I couldn't help but lick your ear. I'm sorry, I just wanted to be close to you."

Xu Yi sighed heavily. It turned out that he was really sick, and seriously so.

He raised his hand and vigorously ruffled Bai Li's hair, making it messy, his tone tinged with helplessness.

Do you know?

"Even if you hide me well, Jiang Xuange and Su Qingluan, who are just two women by my side, will still come looking for me."

No, it won't.

Bai Li quickly looked up and took out a small silver pagoda from her bosom.

"I have the Heavenly Mystery Tower that my mother gave us. This tower can conceal heavenly secrets and hide our presence, so they will never be able to find this place."

"My mother gave me two magical treasures when I came out to find you this time, and I was asked to give them to you on her behalf."

Her voice suddenly softened, her eyes filled with tears, and as she looked at Xu Yi, every word she spoke was sincere.

"Xu Yi... thank you, thank you for saving my mother with your life in my previous life."

As she spoke, the longing and gratitude that had accumulated over five hundred years turned into tears, which slid down her cheeks.

Seeing her tears, Xu Yi reached out and patted her head, his tone softening.

"Okay, stop crying."

Then he sighed heavily again, this time with annoyance and worry.

Bai Li's appearance before them would indeed trigger a second "world" war.

But if Jiang Xuange and Su Qingluan can't find themselves, they'll really go crazy.

They might start fighting amongst themselves.

Therefore, we can't stay here any longer.

Xu Yi looked at the Heavenly Mystery Tower in Bai Li's hand and slowly spoke.

"Bai Li, put away the Heavenly Mystery Tower. I can't stay here forever."

Bai Li was taken aback and hurriedly asked...

Why?

A hint of worry flashed in Xu Yi's eyes.

"If they can't find me, they might do something drastic."

Bai Li's face paled, and she hurriedly grabbed his sleeve, her voice filled with urgency.

"But...but you're still sick, your body can't take it anymore, how can you walk?"

Xu Yi patted the back of her hand and said softly.

"You can come along."

Bai Li's hand suddenly paused, her eyes instantly dimmed, and she gently shook her head.

"I...I can't go with them."

Looking at Xu Yi's expression, she understood that Xu Yi truly liked Jiang Xuange and Su Qingluan.

Based on these past few days of covert observation...

Those two women truly loved Xu Yi, and they were both extremely possessive.

Those two women would absolutely not tolerate me.

Although she really wanted to be with Xu Yi, she didn't want to put him in a difficult position, making him feel caught in the middle.

I've already been very selfish.

She couldn't continue being so selfish, hiding him here without considering his feelings or the worries of those two women.

Xu Yi was just her savior, not her husband, so she had no right to hide him.

Xu Yi saw her evasive eyes and instantly understood the reason.

"Why? Are you afraid they won't accept you?"

Bai Li quickly shook her head, forcing a smile.

"No, I was planning to give you these two things after I cured your illness, and then go back."

"There are still many things in my family. Over the past five hundred years, my mother and I have returned to the Celestial Fox Clan where she used to live."

"I also became the clan's elder, and I had to manage all the clan's affairs, big and small, so I really couldn't leave."

Xu Yi stared into her eyes and said with some distrust.

"You're lying to me again, aren't you?"

Bai Li looked away, not daring to meet his gaze.

"No... I'm definitely not lying to you this time. Since you're afraid they might do something extreme, I won't stop you."

She reached into her storage bag and took out several exquisite porcelain bottles, handing them to Xu Yi in a slightly hoarse voice.

"These few bottles of pills can cure your illness. Take two pills a day, crush them and mix with water or swallow them directly."

"Rest at home and you'll get better soon."

"I...I'll head back now. I'll come see you again after I've taken care of everything."

"I'm sorry, Xu Yi, I lied to you before."
