Su Yan smiled and said, "She is the person I like."

"Then aren't you still flirting and falling in love?"

Shen Muchan never expected her to be so shameless. She sneered and said, "So, you've taken advantage of someone and now you're bored?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly arose.

Gu Yuqiu raised an eyebrow slightly, and the thin layer of ice at her fingertips quietly shattered.

Even she would find it hard not to be interested in such talk, and some might even want to get up and turn around to look at their farce.

Su Yan seemed completely unaware of this.

"Oh, you know quite a lot."

She let go of Shen Muchan's hair, stopped ruffling it, poked her cheek, and said with a smile, "But this has nothing to do with you."

Shen Muchan could no longer maintain her cold smile. The slight chill of the fingertips made her lose her composure, and she took two steps back to maintain a safe distance.

"Or rather..."

Su Yan dismissively withdrew her fingertips, put her hands behind her back, looked at the girl, and said with a subtle expression, "Actually, you also want to take advantage of her?"

Shen Muchan was slightly taken aback, then looked at her as if facing a formidable enemy, her eyes gradually filled with hostility.

In yesterday's battle, apart from Lin Mushi, all the fifth-tier peak fighters who participated paid a price, including the old director.

The one who suffered the most losses was undoubtedly Xinglu, who was treated like a fool, followed by Su Yan.

Even a peak fifth-tier expert, approaching the realm of gods, might not be able to resist the invasion of the primordial will when their spirit is extremely weak.

Under the throne of God.

Ultimately, all power could not transcend that vast ocean.

Just then, Gu Yuqiu's voice rang out.

"She is the Su Yan you know, and her will has not been taken over by the Primal One. You don't need to worry about this issue."

Shen Muchan breathed a sigh of relief, then the hostility in her eyes turned into confusion. She looked at Su Yan with great incomprehension, wanting to ask a few questions, but in the end she didn't dare to.

Her injuries were also quite serious and troublesome.

Otherwise, why would she have only offered so little resistance when Su Yan was toying with her before?

You should know that back then, when Gu Yuqiu tried to do those despicable things to her, she fiercely resisted.

Although she ultimately failed, the outcome was much better... from licking feet to having her lips and tongue played with, it wasn't as humiliating.

"Let's get down to business."

Gu Yuqiu took out a tissue, wiped the water off her hands, and turned to look at the two people behind her.

Her gaze fell on Shen Muchan's disheveled hair. After a moment of silence, she asked, "What is it?"

Su Yan looked quietly into her eyes, as if she saw the stars and the sea in them. Her lips curled up slightly, revealing a beautiful yet complex smile.

Gu Yuqiu pretended not to have noticed anything.

"I want more, more benefits."

Shen Muchan looked at Gu Yuqiu and said, word by word, "The reason is that I risked my life for you yesterday."

Songtang thought to herself that what she was saying sounded really ambiguous.

"Did they risk their lives...?"

Gu Yuqiu thought for a moment and asked, "What do you want?"

Without hesitation, Shen Muchan asked, "How can I become stronger? What path should I take after reaching the peak of the fifth rank?"

Su Yan suddenly said, "Are you already thinking that far ahead?"

"if not?"

Shen Muchan found this statement incomprehensible and looked at her seriously, asking, "Am I supposed to wait until I'm about to die before I regret it?"

Su Yan smiled but didn't say anything.

Shen Muchan hated this kind of thing the most. She snorted proudly, thinking to herself, "You think you can't do it? Why do you think I can't either?"

A long period of silence.

Gu Yuqiu remained silent, her eyes somewhat vacant, as if she were pondering whether it was worth it.

All extraordinary individuals who have reached the fifth rank are aware that their own path is difficult to change, but this does not mean that they cannot apply the same principles to other paths.

Although different paths may lead to the same destination, they may not be able to travel together.

All the scenery she saw on her journey to the throne could be the most precious things in the world.

If that's the case, then Gu Yuqiu's long period of thought becomes understandable.

……

……

The courtyard grew increasingly quiet.

The snow stopped, the wind died down, but the chill intensified.

Pine sugar doesn't care about these things; its life structure is different from that of humans, and even more different from that of ordinary cats and dogs.

After Gu Yuqiu ascended to the throne, it nervously asked him how long it could live, since it was only a few years old and its beard had already turned white.

Surely it won't last more than twenty years?

Gu Yuqiu understood its concerns, and after carefully reading the answer, she happily gave a sincere reply, which was a rare occurrence for her.

After hearing that answer, Songtang never cared about lifespan again and lived a more carefree life.

—If I hadn't met Lin Mushi so late, it would probably have been even more light and breezy.

"No."

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Yuqiu finally spoke.

Many images appeared before her eyes.

That's everything she's achieved so far, right up to where she is now.

This is not a final burst of energy before death, but a simple summary.

Those two words were the result she arrived at.

"why?"

Shen Muchan's expression remained unchanged, and her tone showed no sign of disappointment.

"Because I can't give it to you."

Gu Yuqiu looked at her and said calmly, "You can understand it as me not being able to do it right now."

Shen Muchan said, "I can wait for you to return to your rightful place. I think I can live until then, as long as you agree."

Hearing this, Su Yan looked at Shen Muchan with pity, as if she were looking at a naughty child, and sighed almost imperceptibly.

It was as if they were mocking something.

Shen Muchan didn't care, staring at Gu Yuqiu without blinking.

That's all for now.

Gu Yuqiu said, "You can ask for anything, and I will try my best to fulfill it before I leave this world."

Shen Muchan shook her head and said, "I care about your life and death, but I don't like you. The only thing I want is to become stronger and go further on the path to godhood."

This means having no desires or wants other than these.

Songtang thought to herself, "Isn't this just taking advantage of someone's kindness?"

That's incredibly immoral.

But thinking of its deep red past and its life experiences so far, it was no longer surprised.

Making the most of everything without mercy is a common trait among Gu Yuqiu and Shen Muchan, both of whom are strong individuals who have emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

"Then let's wait until I come back."

Gu Yuqiu didn't want to continue the conversation, so she looked at Su Yan and said, "I'm hungry."

She paused, then looked at Shen Muchan, who was bowing her head and remaining silent, and asked, "Do you want to come along?"

Songtang opened her eyes wide, thinking, "Are you looking for trouble?"

"You may go."

Shen Muchan shook her head, her tone still calm, but with a hint of weariness.

Su Yan watched the girl's retreating figure until it disappeared from sight, then said softly, "Do you know why I'm not angry?"

Yes, she was never angry.

Whether it's ruffling her black hair or lightly poking her cheek, it's no longer a sign of anger.

Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement.

"I don't like Shen Muchan."

Su Yan turned around, looked into Gu Yuqiu's eyes and said seriously, "But she did pay a heavy price yesterday, almost dying. What you gave her is not fair to her."

Songtang couldn't help but meow, thinking, "So that's how it is?"

It had previously found it strange, just like Crimson, wondering why Su Yan, who was usually aloof, would suddenly start ruffling her hair and poking her face.

That seems more like what Gu Yuqiu did.

Thinking about it again now, I realize that all the unusual things had a deeper meaning.

Su Yan did that because she already knew what Shen Muchan wanted, and she knew even more clearly that it was impossible to obtain, and the outcome would inevitably be bleak.

So, she became unusually gentle and playful, unlike herself.

Gu Yuqiu liked Su Yan's way of handling things the most; she clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment.

"Yes, I know I have something to be guilty of."
