That man, whose mind was least steadfast, was easily transformed into someone else by a mere chaos magic spell, silently and without notice.
She had all those animals leave and also dismounted from the plum deer: "You’ve worked hard, little deer, go back quickly."
The little deer rubbed against her a few times with reluctance before trotting away with a tap tap tap.
"You Lan..." a voice, trembling with excitement, called out from not too far away.
Yu Wenrui had arrived a while ago and, unlike Yun Chuqing, knew at first sight that she was his You Lan.
He watched as she swiftly dismissed those people. This You Lan was very different from before.
Gu Shengyin furrowed her brow, still with that cold expression: "Who are you?"
Without waiting for Yu Wenrui to speak, she continued, "Strangers are not welcome here, leave immediately!"
His heart ached at her unfamiliar demeanor.
He revealed a smile: "You Lan, I know you hate me, but please don’t pretend you don’t recognize me."
He would rather she hated him for a lifetime than for her to wish to completely forget their shared past.
Gu Shengyin spoke coldly, "I am not your so-called You Lan. If you don’t leave, you will bear the consequences!"
Yu Wenrui looked at her pale, translucent skin and her white long hair, feeling a ceaseless surge of guilt and pain.
He would never forget who had caused her this condition.
"Are you... okay?" he asked.
Gu Shengyin looked at him in bewilderment and did not speak further. The tiger from earlier came out again, growling at Yu Wenrui in a low tone, clearly warning him.
Not wanting to cause conflict with her, Yu Wenrui helplessly said, "Alright, alright, alright, you want me to leave, so I’ll leave. Don’t be angry."
Having said that, he truly turned around and left.
Gu Shengyin always felt that he was not the kind of person to give up so easily.
Indeed, the system informed her that Yu Wenrui had built a small bamboo hut outside the valley, evidently planning to settle down for the long term.
"What do you plan to do, host?" the system asked.
Gu Shengyin was enjoying a cup of sweet flower nectar, still in a good mood as she greeted the little creature that had brought her the gift.
"What to do? I’ll leave once the task is completed," she said indifferently. After all, as long as Yun Chuqing wasn’t doing well, her duty was almost fully accomplished.
As for You Lan herself, living a godlike life in such a valley, no one could say she wasn’t living well.
The system suddenly understood: she didn’t care about that person outside at all.
The system was somewhat conflicted but still advised, "Judging by his demeanor, he is clearly deeply in love with the host, and he realizes his mistake..."
Gu Shengyin looked at the system with a mock smile, "Did he offer you some sort of benefit? Or what is his identity that you speak so highly of him?"
The system immediately chose to stay silent.
Yu Wenrui truly settled outside, and he would often stroll around the valley, then deliberately leave when approaching the boundary line drawn by the people inside.
It was intentional; he just wanted to see her more frequently.
He no longer hoped for forgiveness from her. Being able to occasionally see her, to have her lively face look at him, was already the greatest fortune of his life.
