Guo Yi's eyes were tightly closed, his breathing as gentle as a strand of silk. The White Bone Saintess held him in her arms, crying like a child who had lost its mother, with tears dripping onto his handsome face and then sliding down to his neck.

  "Ah! I didn't expect her to love me so deeply, and yet I deceived her again." Although the sobbing sound beside his ear was so sorrowful, Guo Yao dared not open his eyes. He knew that if he opened them now, it would be like seeking death.

  Guo Yi surprisingly didn't faint, what's going on now?

  At that time, Guo Yi was about to nail Blue Sky Dragon to death with one sword, when he saw Bone Master and Corpse Master arriving. Suddenly, he knew that his identity had been guessed by White Bone Saint Girl. Guo Yi knew that what would happen next would be absolutely more than ten times more dangerous than the battle with Blue Sky Dragon.

  At this time, all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, but none of them could resolve the crisis. In the end, he had no choice but to use a desperate trick, and for the sake of his own life, he once again deceived our Holy Maiden.

  "Her Highness, he's still alive." Bone and Corpse, their clothes tattered, crawled back.

  "What's going on here?"

  The White Bone Saintess placed her fingers on Guo Yi's pulse and indeed felt a faint beat. Her face suddenly broke into tears of joy, and she slowly transmitted a warm spiritual energy into Guo Yi's Xianmen to help him recover from his injuries.

  She held Guo Yao in her hands, and her body slowly floated up, step by step slowly moving towards the pavilion on Kun Island. She was afraid that Guo Yao would catch a cold from the wind at the edge of the island; she was afraid that her own hands were not soft enough; she was afraid that there were still people who wanted to harm him, and she was terrified... The Holy Maiden, who originally feared nothing, was now terrified, fearing too many things.

  Xiao Changsheng was puzzled at this time. Originally, he had been crying more sadly than anyone else for the Holy Maiden of Guangyue Temple who wanted to beat or kill him. However, Guangyue's so-called wife, Ye Nü, was laughing very happily instead. He could only sigh and say: "I completely don't understand, women are really a kind of supernatural creature, I reckon only Master can fully understand them!"

  Xiao Changsheng recognized the woman in black, but did not recognize Guo Yao. At this time, he was still thinking of his master, the elegant and skilled thief, unaware that his master had already been carried into the woman's boudoir.

  Kuang Ye exaggerated his injuries to gain sympathy, making it seem like he was on the verge of suffocation. On this day, the White Bone Saint Girl continuously poured her spiritual energy into his dantian without restraint, enveloping his body entirely in spiritual energy for a whole day, allowing his cultivation to grow even with his eyes closed.

  Night falls, and on the attic there is a single lamp like a bean.

  Guo Yi knew it was time for her to wake up; otherwise, if she continued like this, even with her high cultivation, she would inevitably suffer severe internal injuries.

  Kuang Ye opened his blurry eyes, and when he saw the White Bone Saint Girl, he seemed to see again that silly girl who chased him all over the mountain outside the Yu Yin City. The same soul but a different face, both familiar and strange.

  Due to the massive spiritual energy output, her hands had become icy cold, and her body was trembling non-stop, as if she would faint at any moment.

  "He's awake!" Seeing Guo Yi open his eyes, she was overjoyed and almost jumped up from the ground, but soon realized something and calmed down, thinking to herself: "A seriously injured person who has just recovered needs rest, I mustn't disturb him."

  Guo Yi looked at her pair of beautiful eyes changing rapidly, and suddenly felt a warmth in his heart, this was the first time his soul had stirred since learning of Liu Yanran's death.

  The two people locked eyes for a long time, exchanging many things in their gaze, but ultimately fell silent.

  Kuo Yi broke his silence and smiled slightly: "Are you especially hating me now?"

  "No." The White Bone Demon Maiden said.

  "Are there many questions you want to ask me?"

  "No."

  "Then, why did you save me?" Guo Yi asked after a pause.

  "I don't know!" The white-boned holy girl's beautiful eyes sparkled with a wandering divine light, and finally gave an answer that wasn't an answer.

  Guo Yi asked three questions, but she dodged them all. She turned around and avoided Guo Yi's gaze, counter-questioning: "Do you like Ye Nü?"

  "There isn't," said Guo Yao.

  "So you and she became husband and wife?"

  "No."

  "Then, who do you like?" The White Bone Saint Maiden asked after a pause.

  Kuo Yueh took a deep breath. This question was really too difficult to answer, and any man would feel at a loss for what to do when faced with it. In the end, he could only come up with three all-purpose words: "I don't know."

  Both of them asked three different questions, but the way they answered was exactly the same. Both shook their heads and smiled, then fell back into silence.

  The light was dim, and the woman's boudoir always emitted a faint fragrance. Guo Yi lay on her bed and naturally smelled it more clearly.

  After a long silence, it was as if the whole world had only two people left, the moon and sun were orbiting around them, they became the center of the entire universe, suddenly both spoke out at the same time:

  "You should have scolded me!"

  "She doesn't love you at all!"

  Upon hearing each other's words, both of them were taken aback at the same time, and then they couldn't help but force a bitter smile. Astonishingly, they simultaneously said the same sentence: "I already knew."

  Guo Yixin's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly thought "it's over", wondering if the show wouldn't be messed up anymore. So he asked: "You already know everything? What exactly do you know?"

  "I know you never liked me, so you pretended to be dead in Nanling to deceive me. Since you never liked me, what right do I have to scold you..." After saying this, her voice had already started to choke, she tried hard to open her eyes which were full of tears, wanting to hold back the tears, but they just wouldn't stop and flowed out uncontrollably, soaking through her black veil.

  "No, it's not what you think, I've actually had you in my heart all along, from the very beginning. My purpose for going to the Ghost Realm was to find you, but...but then I met her..." Guo Yao felt a pang of pain in his heart, wanting to say these words out loud, but ultimately he didn't have the courage to speak them aloud.

  He got up from the bed, he felt that this was not a time for a man to pretend to be dead, some things had to be made clear, otherwise she would only be heartbroken and become the second SiSi.

  Guo Yi turned her slender body around from behind, then gently wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes with his fingers, and then lightly removed the layer of black veil covering her face.

  From start to finish she didn't resist at all, but in her eyes there was a hint of panic and confusion, because she had no idea what Guo Yi would do next.

  This is an exceptionally delicate face, her beauty is not inferior to Liu Yanran's, but the difference lies in that Liu Yanran has a kind of ethereal and otherworldly quality, whereas she is more akin to the cold and gloomy hell. However, at this moment, a hint of blush appears on this cold face, just like a large white rabbit seeing a human for the first time, with a hint of fear and naivety.

  Guo Yi's hands gently cupped her blushing cheeks, looking straight into her eyes, and said softly: "You're a good girl, but I'm not a good person. I fell in love with one woman, liked another, and owed a third. The woman I loved is dead, my heart died with hers, and I don't want the heart of the woman I like to become our burial object too, do you understand?"

  "Am I the woman you like?" The White Bone Demon Maiden nodded, her face not only didn't show disappointment, but instead revealed a smile. She then leaned her head against Guo Yao's chest and softly laughed: "I don't understand, I only know she has already died, so I will be the woman you care about most in your heart. Your heart is dead, so I'll come to be your heart."

  Kuo Yeh: "......"

  "It's all over! How could I forget? This girl is missing a screw in her head, she doesn't understand what I'm saying at all!" Guo Yi slapped his forehead and cried out in dismay.

  The White Bone Demoness broke free from Guo Yi's arms and walked towards the door, her body suddenly radiating a fierce and murderous aura once again.

  "What are you doing?" Guo Yi asked in a daze.

  She turned back to Guo Yi with a cold smile: "I once said that any woman by your side I want her dead, let alone Hong Xiangyin who plotted against you, she should be killed even more."

  "You can't kill her now," said Guo Yao.

  The Holy Maiden of White Bones' face turned cold: "Why?"

  "Because she saved my life, I want to help her with one thing. After this is over, you can kill her, I won't stop you." Guo Yao said.

  On that day in Blue Ocean City, the master of Blue Ocean Manor personally took action to kill Guo Yi. If Hong Xiangyin hadn't intervened to save him, he would have likely lost his life at the hands of the master of Blue Ocean Manor. Therefore, Hong Xiangyin used this as a bargaining chip and asked Guo Yi to help her with something.

  "So that's how it is, no wonder you two had to pretend to be husband and wife. Then what exactly does she want you to help her with?" When she found out that Guo Yi and Hong Xiangyin originally had a deal, she suddenly felt relieved and was no longer in a hurry to kill her.

  Guo Yi hesitated for a moment and said: "She wants me to go somewhere to help her get something."

  The White Bone Saint's brow furrowed slightly as she said, "What place? What thing?"

  "She said that once we arrive at Huadu City, she'll tell me... what? Don't look at me with that idiotic gaze, I know women's matters are usually troublesome, and this thing is definitely not easy to get, but she did save my life after all, so I agreed to it." Guo Yi replied calmly.

  Bai Gu Saintess smiled: "If you don't agree to her, then you're not Guo Yi anymore. If you encounter any difficulties, be sure to come find me, and remember that I am now your heart."

  Guo Yi didn't continue to stay at the White Bone Saintess's place, he needed some time to calm down. Under the night sky, he slowly walked towards his own pavilion, constantly thinking in his mind whether or not he should clarify things with her. After all, if they continued to be ambiguous like this, it would ultimately hurt both of them.

  As I was walking, I suddenly bumped into someone.

  "I've finally found you, young master."

  That person was actually the person in charge of Kun Island, Jin Yi old man. He saw Guo Yao and suddenly became overjoyed, hastily asking: "Hasn't the name of the Heavenly Doctor's successor been asked yet?"

  "Guo... Xiaoyan, or Guo... Yanran, eh! My head hurts, just call me Guo Xiaoyan!" After walking out of the White Bone Saint Girl's room, Guo Yi's mind was filled with either Liu Yanran or Li Xiaoyan, it was utterly chaotic. At this moment, he had no idea what he was saying and casually uttered a sentence.

  The old man in brocade clothes muttered to himself, thinking that there was no way a man would take a woman's name, and this disciple of the heavenly doctor was indeed as strange as his master.

  Although the old man in brocade clothes had a hint of doubt in his heart, his face still wore an unrelenting smile. He respectfully said: "Young Master Xiao Yan... or should I call you Young Master Guo? This old man has already sent news of your arrival back to Huadu Holy City, and the master of the house has learned of this joyful news. Because the holy city still needs the master to preside over it, he cannot come in person to welcome you, but instead dispatched Eighth Miss to do so, who should be on her way here right now."

  Bai Jia's eighth miss, is the second-ranked "Ling Xiao Fairy" Bai Xue'er in the three great beauties of Gu Xuan Domain, ranking above Liu Yanran. She is a peerless beauty who has even surpassed Chu Ge, the first-ranked on the Spirit List, in terms of emotional entanglements. Unfortunately, this beauty is the most outstanding female disciple of the Orthodox Three Great Sacred Lands' Su Nu Chan Monastery, destined to be unattainable by any man.

  Shuang Sheng and Guo Yi's peak showdown, the goal was this "Ling Xiao Fairy", unfortunately, Guo Yi didn't take it seriously at all, so he had already forgotten about it.

  Any man in the world who hears Bai Xue'er's name can't help but be excited, but Guo Ye is surprisingly calm, just nodding and responding with a simple "Oh! Got it."

  He was still thinking about the two women in his mind at this time, and he heard Jin Yi Lao Ren's words in his ears, nodding and returning to his residence.

  The old man in brocade clothes looked at Guo Yi's calm expression and couldn't help but admire him, stroking his chin whiskers and praising: "This is absolutely the least greedy and lustful man in the world. With such a state of mind, he must be an extraordinary medical saint."

  He was right about one thing, Guo Yao was indeed called the "Holy Hand", but it was the "Flower Picking Holy Hand" rather than the "Medical Holy Hand". If the old man in brocade knew this information, he would probably be worried that his eighth young lady might be picked by this "Flower Picking Holy Hand" accidentally!

  Wishing everyone a happy Lantern Festival! Had a bit of wine, feeling a little dizzy, might have written something sentimental, please bear with me.
