When these words, which could be considered a confession of love, fell into Lin Qingyan's ears, those eyes, glowing with a bizarre red light, stared blankly, looking at Gu Chengyin without blinking.
Even her brain seemed to crash, going completely blank, with only the last few words repeating endlessly in her heart.
As long as it is Lin Qingyan... I like it all...
Just two simple sentences, but the impact they carried far exceeded Lin Qingyan's imagination.
She had originally prepared a lot to say, things she could never voice in her usual aloof state.
She had wanted to act even more coquettish, more clingy, to fully release herself while in her inner demon state.
But now, she couldn't say a single word.
Her eyes were filled only with Gu Chengyin's earnest gaze.
Her mind was filled only with the confession he just made.
The blood-red color in her eyes began to fade rapidly.
In just half a breath's time, she returned to her aloof self.
"Chengcheng!"
Accompanied by a deeply moved cry, Lin Qingyan wrapped her arms tightly around Gu Chengyin.
The force was astonishingly strong, as if Gu Chengyin would disappear the moment she let go.
Although he was hugged so tightly he could barely breathe, Gu Chengyin did not push her away.
He was now used to Lin Qingyan's seamlessly shifting styles.
One moment, a cold and detached fairy; the next, a satisfied and coquettish little girlfriend; and then, a sweet and seductive inner demon.
She changed her face faster than turning the pages of a book.
But no matter which one, to him, they were all Lin Qingyan.
That was why he had spoken those heartfelt words just now.
After all, it was truly hard not to like a fairy so beautiful and so versatile.
Of course, it was merely just liking her.
Gu Chengyin reached out and gently patted Lin Qingyan's back.
"I'm here."
Only then did Lin Qingyan let go, revealing that aloof face.
However, two tear tracks appeared on her cheeks.
Gu Chengyin paused slightly, then raised his hand to gently wipe the tears from Lin Qingyan's cheeks, smiling as he said:
"Why are you crying? If you cry any more, Auntie will turn into a little tabby cat."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingyan could no longer maintain her aloof facade.
She burst into a chuckle.
With tear tracks, a coquettish pout, and a bit of shy annoyance, she looked indescribably beautiful.
"You're the little tabby cat!"
Lin Qingyan huffed coquettishly and reached out to lightly punch Gu Chengyin's chest.
Gu Chengyin backhandedly caught her wrist and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, I'm the little tabby cat, and Auntie is the big tabby cat."
Lin Qingyan looked at him, her eyes still shimmering with tears, but the corners of her lips couldn't help but curve upward.
She looked absolutely contented.
After helping Lin Qingyan wipe her tears clean, Gu Chengyin finally asked, "Why did Auntie suddenly let the inner demon out?"
Lin Qingyan pouted, feeling a bit embarrassed.
If this expression were placed on her usual aloof self, it would be simply unimaginable.
But now she did it so naturally, as if this was who she truly was.
"I saw that there wasn't much going on right now," Lin Qingyan said, her voice carrying a hint of guilt.
"I just wanted to weaken the inner demon and break through earlier."
Gu Chengyin couldn't help but say, caught between laughter and tears, "It's not that there's nothing going on."
"If nothing unexpected happens, Jiang Qingshan will come over later."
Lin Qingyan blinked, asking in confusion, "He will come over?"
Gu Chengyin nodded and explained, "Madam Jiang will definitely tell him when she gets back. As long as Jiang Qingshan has even a shred of the pride of a Golden Core cultivator, he will come looking for me."
Lin Qingyan nodded thoughtfully.
Although she didn't like political maneuvering and scheming, it didn't mean she couldn't understand it.
After Jiang Jianli returned, she would definitely relay her conversation with Gu Chengyin to Jiang Qingshan.
What would Jiang Qingshan think after hearing it?
But no matter what he thought, he had to come and talk to Gu Chengyin personally.
Because Jiang Qingshan was in the Golden Core realm, and a Golden Core cultivator had their pride.
This was Gu Chengyin's calculation: using Jiang Jianli as a mouthpiece to make Jiang Qingshan come to him on his own initiative.
This way, the initiative would be in his hands.
Having figured this out, Lin Qingyan didn't say anything.
Instead, she shrank back into Gu Chengyin's embrace and muttered softly, "If they see it, they see it. It's not like it's something shameful."
Gu Chengyin, however, shook his head and stated, "That won't do."
His tone was very serious, showing no intention of backing down. "Only I can see your inner demon."
Although Gu Chengyin's original intention was that Lin Qingyan was the Jingzhe of the Celestial Master Mansion.
She had her own face and majesty to maintain. If others saw the appearance of her inner demon, her image would be completely ruined.
But when these words fell into Lin Qingyan's ears, they took on a completely different meaning.
Only he could see the inner demon.
What did this mean?
It meant Gu Chengyin didn't want others to see it.
It meant he wanted to keep it all to himself.
It meant...
He was possessive of her.
Lin Qingyan's eyes instantly lit up.
Gu Chengyin had desires for her!
This was exactly what she wanted!
She wanted Gu Chengyin, and she also wanted Gu Chengyin to want her!
Just as Lin Qingyan's emotions were surging, a voice suddenly came from outside.
"Lord Jingzhe, Young Master Gu, may I ask if it is convenient right now?"
"My father has arrived and wishes to meet with Young Master Gu."
It was Jiang Jianli.
Just as Gu Chengyin had expected, Jiang Qingshan had indeed come.
After letting Lin Qingyan get up from his embrace, Gu Chengyin did not reply verbally. Instead, he walked toward a window on the other side.
This palace had two floors, and Gu Chengyin and Lin Qingyan were currently on the second floor, which was also the best spot for viewing the scenery.
Pushing the window open, Gu Chengyin immediately saw Jiang Jianli and Jiang Qingshan standing below.
After giving a slight smile to acknowledge them, he did not go downstairs to welcome them. Instead, he sat on a chair by the window, revealing only half of his head.
In this way, Gu Chengyin was looking down from a high vantage point.
Meanwhile, Jiang Qingshan could only tilt his head up to look at Gu Chengyin above.
Seeing Gu Chengyin's posture, Jiang Qingshan and Jiang Jianli exchanged a glance.
Both of them understood something.
He was establishing his status and position.
Gu Chengyin sat upstairs but did not come down, and his meaning was very clear.
He was the master, the superior, and this was the prerequisite for their conversation.
Without this prerequisite, there would be nothing to talk about.
Although Jiang Qingshan felt very helpless about this, he did not say anything.
Instead, he cupped his hands toward Gu Chengyin above and said, "Young Master Gu."
Gu Chengyin nodded slightly. Just as he was about to answer, he caught sight of Lin Qingyan suddenly walking toward him from the corner of his eye.
However, due to the height difference, Jiang Qingshan and Jiang Jianli, who were down below, did not see her.
After walking over, Lin Qingyan leaned down close to Gu Chengyin's ear and whispered:
"Chengcheng, I am very happy."
"So, I want to make you happy too."
These words left Gu Chengyin completely baffled and confused.
Happy about what?
What happiness?
What did he do?
How did she become happy?
Wasn't she just crying?
Filled with doubts, just as Gu Chengyin was about to ask.
Lin Qingyan's next action made his eyes widen in shock.
He saw this cold and aloof Fairy Jingzhe suddenly lean down and kneel before his crotch.
Meanwhile, an eerie blood-red light surfaced in her eyes.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
