“Mmm, you’re right. How about we make a different bet? Within a year, if you happen to fall in love with me, well get married. And if you don’t develop feelings for me, I’ll grant you anything you desire,” he gently persuaded.
Gu Qingluan raised an eyebrow. “Anything?”
“Yes, as long as it’s within my power.”
Gu Qingluan stroked her chin, finding this offer rather appealing.
Whether it was Feng Tianlan or Feng s.h.i.tian, they were both prominent figures.
Anything she could acquire from them would be of immense value.
No matter how she looked at this bet, she had nothing to lose.
“Alright! I’ll take the bet!”
Feng s.h.i.tian’s beautiful purple eyes flashed with a hint of amus.e.m.e.nt, and his pale lips curled up. “Then let’s sign a contract.”
With that, he used his arcane power as ink, and his index finger swiftly wrote a contract in the void.
In no time, the contract, ornate and resembling a dragon and phoenix dancing, floated in mid-air.
“Inject your spiritual essence into it, and the contract will take effect.”
Gu Qingluan hesitated for a moment.
She had a feeling this guy had come prepared, and she suddenly felt like she was about to board a pirate ship.
Feng s.h.i.tian raised an eyebrow slightly. “Afraid?”
“Ha!”
Gu Qingluan chuckled coldly.
She knew he was trying to provoke her, but she wasn’t one to back down easily.
Did he really think she’d fall for him within a year?
Dream on!
She infused her spiritual essence into the contract.
The contract radiated a burst of light, then dispersed into tiny specks, disappearing into the air.
“Get ready to lose!” Gu Qingluan looked at him, her lips curving in a challenging smile.
“I’ll be eagerly waiting,” Feng s.h.i.tian replied, his lips also curling into a satisfied smile.
He had only intended to test the waters, but he hadn’t expected her to actually agree to the bet.
Was she really that confident she could win?
As the two of them locked eyes, it felt like sparks were flying between them, creating an electric atmosphere.
Gu Qingluan couldn’t help but shift the topic, avoiding the impact of his handsome face. “Where did you go last night? Jing Feng mentioned a powerful and mysterious person appearing. They didn’t even know you had returned and were still searching outside. Shouldn’t we call them back?”
“Not in a hurry. My clone is still outside.”
“Clone?”
Gu Qingluan looked up at him.
“So, you’re actually another clone?”
No wonder she had felt something was off at the beginning, thinking he might be an impostor.
“It can only be considered a fragment of my soul.”
Suddenly, his expression changed slightly. “I’m running out of time; I must leave.”
“Wait, is the clone that disappeared last night still with Xiu Yunyi? Is he in danger?”
Gu Qingluan hurriedly stopped him.
“He’s in Death..”
He didn’t finish his sentence before Feng s.h.i.tian’s figure disappeared from where he stood.
She wished she hadn’t wasted so much time talking.
The most crucial point hadn’t been explained.
He had just said something about being “in Death…” – the Death Mountain Range?
Thinking of the disturbance in the Death Mountain Range that Su Lie had mentioned, Gu Qingluan immediately realized.
Feng Tianlan hadn’t returned, but a fragment of his soul had suddenly appeared in front of her. Did this mean he was trapped now, and he wanted someone to rescue him?
No wonder he had stopped her from calling back Jing Feng and the others.
Worried that time was of the essence, Gu Qingluan quickly left the room.
“Mistress, are you going out?”
Bo He, who had been listening to Su Lie, was guarding outside.
“Yes, when Su Lie comes back, tell him not to look for Feng Tianlan. I have something to do in the Death Mountain Range.”
“Now?” Bo He was greatly surprised..
