Chapter 239 You don't need to be so self-conscious.
"You're a Great Luo Golden Immortal now, practically a god?" Mu Yue stared at Gu Yan in shock. Gu Yan had just finished explaining the different realms to him. He looked at Gu Yan with wide eyes, "What kind of monsters are you?"
"I'm not a monster, I'm just a little smarter than others," Gu Yan said earnestly.
Mu Yue: "Why do I want to punch you right now?"
Gu Yan smiled slightly at him, a smile that could eclipse the world: "Really?"
Mu Yue was stunned by his smile, her eyes wide with disbelief. Her face flushed red at an alarming rate, and her heart pounded wildly, almost leaping out of her chest. Hit him? How could she possibly bring herself to do it? This...this face was just too handsome.
It took Mu Yue a long time to come to his senses. Once he did, he became furious and embarrassed: "Don't smile at me like that!"
After he finished speaking, Gu Yan burst into laughter.
Mu Yue turned his head away, his cheeks flushed red as if they were about to bleed. He found the white-clad youth in front of him utterly detestable. Despite how detestable he was, he couldn't bring himself to hate him.
"Alright, I should go now," Gu Yan said.
Mu Yue immediately turned around: "Where are you going?"
"I just came to see you, and now that I've seen you, I'll head back now," Gu Yan said.
"Wait!" Mu Yue didn't want the person in front of him to leave so quickly, so he took a step forward. "Are we still friends?"
Before Gu Yan could answer, he said to himself, "Look at what I'm saying. You're so powerful now, and I'm not even a demigod. What right do I have to be your friend?"
He had barely finished speaking when Gu Yan reached out and patted his shoulder:
"I never look at people's appearance when making friends, because no one is better looking than me. I also don't look at their cultivation level when making friends; anyway, even if their cultivation level is higher than mine, I will surpass them very quickly."
"So, you don't need to feel inferior in front of me."
Gu Yan said with a smile.
Mu Yue: "..."
This guy is so annoying!!
"You didn't get beaten to death for talking like that?" Mu Yue looked Gu Yan up and down with an incredulous expression.
"I was just teasing you. Of course we're still friends," Gu Yan said.
Hearing Gu Yan say that they were still friends, Mu Yue was delighted. He looked at Gu Yan and said, "Since we're friends, how about we go somewhere else for drinks? Are you coming?"
After more than three thousand years apart, Gu Yan found it hard to refuse such an invitation as a friend, so he accepted.
So, Gu Yan once again came to the palace of the Baiyue Empire.
The last time he came here was over 3,500 years ago. At that time, he had disguised himself and changed his appearance. But now Gu Yan appeared in his true form, and the entire palace was in an uproar. Wherever he went, the demons there stared at him intently.
"So beautiful!"
"Who...who is this? Who is that person with His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Oh my god! This looks so good!"
"I always thought His Highness the Crown Prince was the most handsome man in the world, but I never imagined there was someone even more handsome than him."
"I can't take it anymore, my heart, my heart is going to explode!"
Several demons, after watching for a while, actually fainted.
Regardless of gender or age, everyone who saw Gu Yan couldn't take their eyes off her.
Mu Yue said to Gu Yan with some displeasure, "You really are a troublemaker."
He himself was an exceptionally handsome man, attracting admiring glances wherever he went, but not as exaggeratedly as Gu Yan.
"If you say that, I'll be sad," Gu Yan said with a slight smile.
His smile triggered a burst of screams.
"Aaaaaaahh ...
"I'm going to die!!"
He smiled!
Several exaggerated demons coughed up blood and fell off the city wall.
Mu Yue: "..."
How utterly shameful!
How could their Moon Worship Empire have such a disgraceful demon race? But when he glanced at Gu Yan beside him and saw his face as smooth as ice and jade, his features perfectly flawless, his heart pounded uncontrollably, and he even felt his blood rushing to his head. It took him a long time to suppress the agitation in his heart.
Ah! He's a troublemaker.
Mu Yue felt that the best way to clear up the previous misunderstandings was to take Gu Yan to visit his mother, so he took Gu Yan to Empress Shu Lan.
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
Inside the main hall, magnificent palace lanterns hung high, and the totem of the Howling Moon Wolf was embroidered on the light gold curtains. Empress Shu Lan wore a purple palace dress, her silver hair was tied up with several hairpins inlaid with light purple gemstones, and there was a crescent-shaped mark on her smooth forehead, just like Mu Yue's. Her slender eyebrows and eyes were painted with exquisite red eyeshadow, and long tassel earrings dangled from her ears.
The Empress is beautiful, but the white-clad youth standing before her is the true beauty.
Empress Shu Lan stared at the white-robed youth in front of her, unable to recover for a full five minutes.
She stared, her eyes wide with amazement.
How can there be such a good-looking person in this world?
"Creator, you are so great that you could create such a handsome man!" Empress Shu Lan's heart fluttered, and she had already fallen in love with the white-robed youth before her.
"Mother? Mother?"
Mu Yue called out several times, but Empress Shu Lan did not wake up.
Mu Yue regretted it; he shouldn't have brought Gu Yan here.
"Mother--"
Mu Yue yelled and pinched her mother, finally bringing Empress Shu Lan to her senses.
Her beautiful face flushed, and a shy expression appeared on her face:
"Ah Yue, who is this...?"
"This is my good friend Gu Yan," Mu Yue introduced.
"So it's Young Master Gu. You are indeed a handsome and talented young man," Empress Shu Lan said softly.
Gu Yan simply smiled; he still remembered how the woman in front of him had threatened to kill him.
"Um..." Gu Yan said a little shyly, "Actually, we've met before."
"What?" Empress Shu Lan exclaimed in disbelief. She'd seen him before? They'd seen him? When? Why did she have no recollection of it? Logically speaking, such a handsome man, once seen, would be unforgettable. Who could forget a face they'd ever seen?
"Have we met before? When?" Empress Shulan asked.
Gu Yan said, "More than 3,500 years ago, at that time, my name was Li Bai."
After saying that, Gu Yan felt a little embarrassed.
Empress Shu Lan froze for a moment, then blushed deeply and said, "You, you are...you are..."
Is he Li Bai? Is he that lecherous Li Bai?
This...this...
"It was a misunderstanding, a real misunderstanding. I have come here today to apologize to Your Majesty. I have offended you greatly that day, and I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness!" Gu Yan said, clasping his hands in a fist and bowing to Empress Shu Lan.
