Gu Xiao Su wiped Xiao Ye’s face with a towel, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Husband..."
She was truly heartbroken. Seeing Xiao Ye severely injured, grief and heartache washed over her like a tidal wave.
In Gu Xiao Su’s memory, Xiao Ye was powerful and omnipotent.
This was the first time Gu Xiao Su had seen Xiao Ye so weak.
However, upon hearing Gu Xiao Su’s soft cry, Xiao Ye’s eyelashes trembled slightly.
He opened his eyes and gently caressed Gu Xiao Su’s face.
"Wife, I'm fine... Don't cry."
Gu Xiao Su saw the tenderness in Xiao Ye’s eyes. His fingers wiped away her tears.
"Husband, which immortal sect gravely injured you to this state?"
Gu Xiao Su couldn't hide her anger. She wished she could avenge Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye’s reaction, however, was intriguing. He grew silent upon hearing Gu Xiao Su’s words.
Gu Xiao Su was not foolish; she noticed Xiao Ye’s abnormality.
"Is it my sect?"
Gu Xiao Su’s lips turned pale as she asked, her voice trembling.
Xiao Ye’s gaze was calm. He replied to Gu Xiao Su, "More than that."
So, her sect was also involved?
She wondered if her sect had participated in the plan to destroy the Demon Sect due to her disappearance.
Gu Xiao Su couldn't help but say, "Husband, why don't you let me come forward and mediate the misunderstanding between you and the immortal sects?"
Xiao Ye immediately refused, "No!"
Seeing Xiao Ye agitated, his wounds worsened.
Gu Xiao Su gently channeled her true qi to Xiao Ye’s wounds and said cautiously, "Husband, don't get agitated. I won't come forward."
A hint of tenderness appeared in Xiao Ye’s eyes. He smiled gently at Gu Xiao Su, "It's just a small injury, wife. I'll be better in no time."
How could Gu Xiao Su not know that immortal sect secret techniques were not ordinary injuries?
Even the Demon Lord couldn't withstand such a blow!
Over the past few days.
Gu Xiao Su took meticulous care of Xiao Ye, her busy figure visible throughout the entire Demon Sect.
Their affection was evident.
Gu Xiao Su, who never did chores, learned to cook porridge in the kitchen for Xiao Ye.
As Gu Xiao Su fed him, Xiao Ye smiled faintly, "Wife, my life is so wonderful now, I don't even want to get better."
"Don't be glib."
Gu Xiao Su snorted lightly, her spooning of the porridge gentle.
A hint of worry appeared in her eyes. She had witnessed Xiao Ye's condition day by day.
His wounds were slow to heal, and the demon cultivators who came to treat him all shook their heads.
Gu Xiao Su inquired privately, and they all said he was gravely injured.
These words filled Gu Xiao Su with dread. She didn't want to lose Xiao Ye.
However...
This was also an opportunity for Gu Xiao Su to leave.
When Xiao Ye was at his full strength, Gu Xiao Su had no chance to leave the Demon Sect.
Now that he was injured, she could leave without being noticed.
Gu Xiao Su lay beside Xiao Ye, her heart filled with endless struggle.
Looking at Xiao Ye’s sleeping face, she whispered in the smallest voice, "I'm sorry, husband."
Gu Xiao Su could not forget her sect, nor did she want to stay in the Demon Sect forever.
If Xiao Ye hadn't recalled the carrier pigeons and kept her in the dark for so long, perhaps she wouldn't have had the heart to leave.
But Gu Xiao Su had made up her mind. On the seventh day of caring for Xiao Ye.
Gu Xiao Su dressed in plain white, her appearance simple and unadorned, somewhat resembling her former saintess demeanor.
Xiao Ye spoke a few words to Gu Xiao Su as usual. His body seemed to be recovering.
Gu Xiao Su helped Xiao Ye walk a few steps. He smiled and said, "Wife, I'll be able to take you out to play soon."
"Don't suppress your injuries with your true qi too much."
Having been Xiao Ye's wife for so long, how could Gu Xiao Su not understand his nature?
She was certain that Xiao Ye was suppressing his injuries with his true qi, maintaining a carefree facade.
Xiao Ye chuckled and looked at her, "You know me best, my wife."
He reluctantly covered his wound and then looked out at the bright sunshine.
"I was just worried that you would be bored staying in the Demon Sect, wife, and I wanted to take you out to see the world quickly."
Hearing Xiao Ye’s concern for her, Gu Xiao Su’s gaze suddenly became evasive.
Although Xiao Ye was the Demon Lord, he was devoted and attentive to her, never having done anything wrong.
In the future, she might not be by Xiao Ye’s side.
Their fate seemed to have reached its end.
Gu Xiao Su felt a pang of sadness. Her gaze towards Xiao Ye was unfathomable, "Husband, I won't be bored."
If the immortal sects agreed to her being with Xiao Ye, Gu Xiao Su knew she would return to his side.
Xiao Ye said leisurely, "Wife, I remember you said you wanted to release sky lanterns. Shall I take you after I get better?"
"Okay."
"And the street food, I'll bring you extra portions of your favorite peach pastries."
Gu Xiao Su's nose inexplicably turned sour. She saw the affectionate gaze in Xiao Ye's eyes.
Her heart softened boundlessl, and she longed to embrace Xiao Ye.
Gu Xiao Su carefully helped Xiao Ye back to the bed and covered him with the blankets.
She asked softly, "Husband, what do you want for lunch?"
"I want eel soup. Your eel soup is delicious, wife."
Gu Xiao Su playfully teased Xiao Ye, then walked out of the room.
She went to the kitchen and prepared the eel soup.
Gu Xiao Su didn't pack much, just a small bundle. She used her Nascent Soul stage power and left the Demon Sect without anyone noticing.
...
Outside the scene.
Gu Xiao Su felt a surge of excitement as she saw Gu Xiao Su leave the Demon Sect.
Because of Xiao Ye’s kindness to her, Gu Xiao Su feared that the reincarnated her would be reluctant to leave.
"It seems my sect is more important to me. I haven't been deluded by Xiao Ye over these years..."
Gu Xiao Su smiled genuinely, wishing to go as far away as possible.
Upon seeing that Xiao Ye had deceived her with carrier pigeons, Gu Xiao Su also felt immense anger.
He had used such despicable means to keep her by his side.
Gu Xiao Su absolutely did not want her heart to soften. Fortunately, the Gu Xiao Su in the reincarnation had left as expected.
"Gu Xiao Su, isn't your fate with him over?"
Left King stroked his chin, looking curiously at Gu Xiao Su, "What happened between you two later? Was it exciting!?"
Gu Xiao Su stiffened. What happened later?
She tried to recall her memories but found that she couldn't piece them together.
Gu Xiao Su’s expression was blank. She clutched her head, certain she could find some missed details.
Why... couldn't she remember until now?
Seeing Gu Xiao Su not answering, Left King pursed his lips indifferently.
He stood beside Gu Xiao Su, muttering speculatively, "You went back to your sect this time, and you didn't completely break ties with King Xiao, did you?"
"No!"
Gu Xiao Su immediately spoke.
She blinked dazedly, surprised at her own outburst.
She hadn't recalled anything, yet she was so certain that they hadn't broken ties.
Gu Xiao Su and Left King stared intently at the screen...
