Such a magical weapon that wards off evil and suppresses yin provided her with a great deal of security.
She leaned against the headboard, holding the hilt and slowly drew the blade, which was sharp on both sides. Unable to resist, her fingers lightly touched it, and just from that brief contact, her finger began to bleed.
What Gu Lili did not expect was that the blood on the blade disappeared on its own, as though the sword had absorbed it.
She squeezed another drop of blood from her injured finger onto the sword, just as before.
After getting out of bed and going to the washroom, Gu Lili dripped some water onto the blade, but it didn’t have the same effect; the droplet remained on the surface.
The cyan Jiuquan Sword of Long Yubei could be used as both a sword and a spear, but this red Huiling Sword was just a sword.
His sword bore a dragon pattern, and so did this one.
Who on earth could have forged such an evil-subduing sword?
After coming out of the washroom and putting the sword back in its place, Gu Lili felt sleepy and quickly drifted into a dreamscape.
She was clearly asleep, yet her consciousness was very alert, an indication of poor sleep quality.
Gu Lili felt she had opened her eyes, but she was not in her own room where she had fallen asleep, but in a lush and verdant jungle.
A fierce fight was unfolding.
She saw a white ferret-cat sitting in a tree, watching the battle.
Looking at the combatants, it was Long Chan fighting toe-to-toe with a man dressed in black.
Whenever Long Chan was slightly careless, his throat was seized by the man, but at the critical moment, the ferret-cat leaped from the tree and landed precisely on the man in black’s back, its claws fiercely scratching the man’s eyes.
At this moment, Long Chan managed to seize victory.
The man in black died, his soul scattered.
And Long Chan himself looked utterly disheveled.
He looked at the white ferret-cat that was also looking up at him and then crouched down.
"Little thing, where is your home?"
Not getting any response, he stood up, "If you want to follow me, do so. If not, go home." Fresh chapters posted on NovєlFіre.net
He walked ahead, and the ferret-cat followed behind.
Long Chan glanced back and his eyes gleamed with a smile.
The scene suddenly changed; Long Chan was sitting cross-legged with the ferret-cat at his side. He reached out to grab the ferret-cat’s tail, "Let’s see if you’re male or female."
The ferret-cat seemed embarrassed, its limbs struggling and flapping, clearly unwilling.
But Long Chan still managed to determine, "So you’re a little she-cub."
The ferret-cat twisted its body and lay on the ground, refusing to look at him.
Seeing this, Gu Lili couldn’t help but feel that the ferret-cat was quite amusing.
Thinking of what Su Changzhi had said, that the ferret-cat had fallen into a well and drowned made her feel a sense of pity.
When she awoke, the scenes from her dream were vividly etched in her mind.
"How come I dreamt of that again..."
Could it be that she was a ferret-cat in a past life?
The idea felt too absurd to Gu Lili.
Yet, she couldn’t understand why she would dream of Long Chan’s beloved pet.
She took out her digital drawing tablet, sketched the cat from her dream on the computer, colored it, and then transferred the image to her phone. Just as she shut down the computer, Gu Xia’s voice came from outside the door, "Sis, Mr. Long is here."
Holding her phone, she went downstairs and saw Long Yubei with a suitcase, his gaze coated with a layer of frost, "My home does not welcome you, why are you still here?"
"I’ve thought it through carefully. I am the biological father of the child, and I have a responsibility to take care of you and the child. So from today onwards, I will live here with you."
Gu Lili was at a loss for words, "Who allowed this? Did you get my consent?"
"You wouldn’t agree, but I want to do this."
