It was smaller than the size of a palm and was curled up in the corner of the rice paper. Its eyes were not open yet, and the most eye-catching thing was the pink hair on its forehead.
No matter how one looked at it, it was no different from a newborn mouse.
"My dear, you can even do this to me. You really do love me."
Gou Liang laughed dryly and praised Han Zhan. He reached out and touched it. The sleeping ugly thing opened its eyes in shock. The pair of clear black and white eyes were innocent and lovable. It seemed to have an indescribable charm that attracted people's eyes unconsciously. They couldn't help but want to touch it and kiss it.
Without any reason, his heart softened.
"What's going on?" Gou Liang was surprised. He definitely didn't have a good impression of this ugly thing. Hmph.
Han Zhan smiled and said, "Its eyes have the power of the law. It's naturally lovable."
"This setting sounds like a fox spirit." Gou Liang asked him, "Did you give it this?"
Han Zhan heard him say "it" again and again. He couldn't accept that this little guy was his original body at all. He laughed and shook his head, "You are not my creation. This law is above my will."
"Huh?"
So awesome? Gou Liang asked again about its origin. Han Zhan only smiled and didn't say anything.
Han Zhan's slender hand gently took it out of the rice paper and placed it in the palm of his hand. Gou Liang's eyes flashed. This scene was very familiar. He had seen it in his dream a long time ago.
Han Zhan touched its back, and the ugly thing suddenly curled itself up even tighter. The pink hair on its forehead instantly turned into a bright red color. The corners of its mouth curled up, and it blinked its eyes as if it was shy. What was even more outrageous was that two dimples actually appeared on its furry face!
"This is maliciously acting cute. It's against the rules."
Gou Liang tutted and poked its dimples. The little guy's big round eyes turned around, as if he had really crossed time and space to see Gou Liang. Suddenly, he fiercely widened his eyes, the hair on his forehead spurted out flames, and a low growl came from his throat. Even if he looked like he could be pinched to death with two fingers, the intimidating pressure came from all over the sky. Gou Liang trembled and broke out in a cold sweat, almost kneeling on the ground.
"Nonsense."
Han Zhan scolded. The oppressive feeling that the ugly thing was emitting suddenly stopped. It barked and angrily turned its back to Han Zhan and disappeared from his palm.
"F * ck …" Gou Liang finally found his voice. "Isn't this your soul mirror image?"
Han Zhan got up and wiped his sweat. He shook his head and whispered, "You have a special power of law in your body. Even if it exists in my memory, once it appears in the world, it will not be under my control."
Gou Liang leaned on his chest and snorted, "But at least I have reached a consensus with it on one thing. It doesn't like me, just like I don't like it."
Han Zhan hugged him on his lap, one hand around his waist, and the other hand continued to draw an unfinished portrait. He smiled and said, "I remember once, when you saw a mortal's baby photo, you also asked me for it. I showed you the mirror image, and in the end … you rushed in and ate your childhood self in one bite."
Gou Liang: "…"
Was it really okay to describe such a cruel thing in the tone of a fairy tale?
"Then what will I look like when I grow up?"
Gou Liang did not learn his lesson and still had great interest in this.
Han Zhan paused and said seriously, "You are no match for it now. You will be eaten."
Gou Liang: "…"

Prince Cheng's residence.
The Fifth Prince, Prince Cheng, had just returned from the palace when he heard from his son about the plan to assassinate Han Zhan and Gou Liang. His face immediately changed.
"Why did you decide on such a big matter without discussing it with me? Who gave you such courage? Quickly withdraw your men! "Prince Cheng said sternly." Look at the situation now. How can we allow you to act so recklessly? "
"Father, you are exaggerating. Han Zhan and Wei Xuanming did not take you seriously at all. Instead, they favored Third Uncle. If they get the support of these two families, it will be useless no matter how we manage in the imperial court. Do you want them to get the position? Instead of waiting until the wood is turned into a boat, it is better to get rid of the root of this disaster now — "
Slap!
Prince Cheng slapped Xuanyuan Ming hard on the face. "You short-sighted thing!"
"Didn't you ask why Han Zhan and Wei Xuanming went to the banquet? My Third Brother's second wife is Han Zhan's aunt. Her life is hanging by a thread. My Third Brother used her as a target. Seeing that she is about to die, Han Zhan can't refuse her. As for Wei Xuanming, he has always been obedient, but he can't represent Elder Wei's thoughts. Yesterday in the palace, your Imperial Grandfather hinted that we should not cause trouble for him. Now you want to kill him. Do you think you can hide it from everyone, or do you think your Imperial Grandfather won't live for long and you don't need to take his words seriously? "
"This child does not dare. This child has no such intention!"
Xuanyuan Ming turned pale with fright. He knelt down and admitted his mistake. "Father, please calm down. I will withdraw the order now."
"Hurry up and go!"
"Yes, yes!"
Xuanyuan Ming hurriedly scrambled away.
After he left, the wheelchair slid out from behind the screen. Prince Cheng's eldest son, Xuanyuan Yue, frowned. "Third Brother's actions were indeed reckless. The Wei Family, the Han Family, and the Xiahou Family have been the same for thousands of years. They are definitely not as simple as they appear to be. Our ancestors have never touched them. There must be a reason why they can't be touched. We can only do it ourselves. If we can't, there is no need to offend them. "
"That's the reason. We almost let that bastard ruin Father's many years of planning. How foolish."
Prince Cheng scolded. Xuanyuan Yue comforted him, "Third Brother is still young and doesn't see things well enough. Fortunately, it hasn't caused a disaster yet. Father, please forgive him … Sigh, I only hate that I'm just a useless person and can't help Father with his worries."
Prince Cheng hurriedly said, "My son, don't belittle yourself. If it weren't for you, Father would have been killed by that bastard Third Brother. Let's not talk about this. Yue 'er, how do you feel today? Do you still feel unwell? "
"I'm fine now. Thank you for your concern, Father."
Xuanyuan Yue smiled.
Prince Cheng waved his hand and a trace of regret flashed through his eyes.
The one he liked the most was still his eldest son. As Prince Cheng's first child, Xuanyuan Yue had been raised by him since she was young. He had poured the most effort into her. Xuanyuan Yue's talent was extraordinary and had never disappointed him. However, he didn't expect that when he was thirteen years old, he would be harmed by that bastard Third Brother and have his legs crippled.
Thinking about this, Prince Cheng felt his heart burn with anger. He hated the Third Prince who was vying for the throne with him very much.
Xuanyuan Yue's eyes dimmed a little but she quickly concealed it. She asked, "Father, you said that Imperial Grandfather hinted that we are not allowed to find trouble with Wei Xuanming. What is the reason for this?"
Prince Cheng shook his head. "Father can't figure it out. I only know that before Imperial Father met with us, he had met with Elder Wei. I couldn't find out what they talked about."
"This matter is strange. I heard that Elder Wei had met with the Marquis of Shuyang alone at the Marquis Of Shuyang's birthday banquet. The two of them had a secret conversation for more than two hours. Could it be that Imperial Grandfather gave this instruction because of their secret conversation? But what does this have to do with the Wei Family's son? "
As Xuanyuan Yue spoke, her voice became softer and softer. She thought carefully but couldn't think of any clues.
Seeing this, Prince Cheng said, "Forget it. It can't be related to the fight for the throne. Since Imperial Father is willing to give some face to the Wei Family, we'll just listen."
Xuanyuan Yue agreed and the father and son began to talk again.
When they heard the sound of Xuanyuan Ming turning back, Xuanyuan Yue pushed the wheelchair away. Prince Cheng repeatedly confirmed that the assassination plan had been canceled and sent Xuanyuan Ming away with a warning.
Prince Cheng and his son had breathed a sigh of relief too early. They didn't know that Xuanyuan Ming was asking a tiger for its skin. The sword he thought he was holding in his hand didn't listen to his orders.
Thus, the assassination attempt was carried out as scheduled.
It was the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month. In Tianyang, there was a custom. On this day, the unmarried children would cut the ice to get fish and personally cook it for their parents.
Gou Liang and Han Zhan were inseparable. They decided to bring their younger siblings to the Wei Family's farm outside Tianyang City to ice fish.
When they left the city gates, Xuanyuan Xu's carriage was already parked at the side. He welcomed them and said, "Before I left the palace, I heard that the ice lake in the Wei Family's farm is a scenic spot in the capital during winter. The fish produced in the lake are also full of spiritual energy and taste excellent. It's just that Chang Ning isn't home, so I didn't want to disturb you. This year, no matter what, you must broaden my horizons."
Before Gou Liang could say anything, someone rode forward on a horse and laughed. "Since Your Highness has said so, how can I refuse?"
It was Ouyang Zhuo. Behind him was Chi Tao.
Gou Liang glanced at Han Zhan, who nodded at them, and laughed. "The two of you are already married and have children. Why aren't you waiting to eat the children's filial piety today? Instead, you came out to suffer the cold wind."
Chi Tao waved his hand and said, "Don't make fun of us. How old is his son and I? My son, for example, this morning, the wet nurse helped him catch a fish that he had been raising in the pond and brought it to his grandfather and me. My mother was afraid that he would catch a cold. It's much more precious than when we were young. I don't dare to trouble that little ancestor. "
Ouyang Zhuo said, "Brother Wei, please don't dislike us. It's so cold and there's no place to play. It wasn't easy to wait for this day of fun."
Since they had met, there was no reason to refuse. Thus, the group of people traveled together.
When they arrived at the Wei Family's farm, they went straight to the ice lake.
The ice lake was indeed beautiful. The large lake was covered with a thick layer of ice. The surrounding trees were covered with frost, like clusters of blooming snowflakes. It was very beautiful.
When the daughters alighted from the carriage, they were shocked by the magnificent scenery and exclaimed in admiration.
Xuanyuan Xu said, "It really lives up to its reputation. Even with this scenery, it's not a wasted trip. Chang Ning, quickly tell me what else is there to see and do here. Take me there — "
When he turned around, Gou Liang was no longer behind him.
The Wei Family's second son hurried forward and said, "Sixteenth Master, my elder brother and brother Han Zhan had something to do and left. He hasn't been to the farm for many years, so I'm afraid he's not familiar with it. If you want to see it, why don't I lead the way? "
Xuanyuan Xu nodded in agreement, but he was more curious about what Gou Liang and Han Zhan were doing secretly, leaving their two families behind.
Gou Liang and Han Zhan were indeed up to no good.
The two of them rode quickly to the back mountain of the farm. This was the second highest peak in Tianyang's capital. There was a magnificent scenery called "Heaven's Cut Pusan."
Pusan was split in half at the highest point, straight into the ground, unfathomably deep. The place where the sky was cut off was shrouded in fog all year round. It was completely unreal. Many people had entered to explore the mystery, but once they stepped into the fog, they would lose all traces. After forty-nine days, they would automatically appear downstream of the moat, which was a hundred miles away from it. They would lose all memories of the exploration, without exception.
However, as soon as someone mentioned the two words "Pusan," they would be so scared that they would kneel and beg for mercy, wailing loudly. It was obvious that it was not a pleasant experience.
Gradually, Heaven's Cut Pusan became a scenery that could only be seen from afar.
At this time, Gou Liang and Han Zhan were standing on the precipice of Pusan, looking down at the rolling clouds under their feet.
Gou Liang squatted down and fiddled with the thick white fog with his fingers. He withdrew his hand and licked his fingertips. His eyes lit up and he said, "It's sweet."
Han Zhan leaned over and picked him up, saying, "It's even sweeter down there. I'll take you there."
As he spoke, he jumped into the fog with Gou Liang in his arms and accurately stepped on a cloud. The cloud quickly froze, and Gou Liang and Han Zhan fell down. The speed was so fast that Gou Liang, who was unprepared, only had time to hug Han Zhan's neck and scream before they reached the bottom.
Gou Liang shook his head, which was a little dazed because of the severe weightlessness, and said speechlessly, "This direct service is really considerate."
Han Zhan lifted him up and jumped off the ice with him in his arms. Only then did he put him down.
"It's so comfortable here. Is there geothermal heat?"
Gou Liang stretched his body and took a deep breath, but he didn't smell any sulfur. Instead, he smelled a faint sweet fragrance.
Han Zhan took his hand and said in a low voice, "Be quiet, don't wake them up."
Gou Liang was curious, "What are they?"
Han Zhan said, "Your pets."
Pets?
Gou Liang glanced at Han Zhan. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that Han Zhan's smile was not good.
The deeper they went, the warmer it became. Gou Liang looked around and found that this cave was exactly the same as the one he saw in Heavenly Sun Sacred Mountain where his canine teeth were sealed. He wondered if his pets were related to the power of darkness.
However, it turned out that he was thinking too much.
When he saw the two "pets" huddled together and snoring, Gou Liang almost shouted out loud. These two pets looked exactly the same as the two Pixiu soul pets he raised in the Space Control Department that only ate and did not vomit!
Quickly tell him that this must be a coincidence!
Han Zhan knew what he was thinking. He held back his laughter and said, "You're the one who developed the Pixiu soul pets, and … the soul coins they eat are your snacks."
Huh?!
Gou Liang blinked his eyes. Han Zhan rubbed his head and finally could not help but laugh, "It's just that they don't know how to appreciate your beauty. Therefore, as far as I know, other than the director who was asked by me to raise a Pixiu soul pet, the two you raised are the only three Pixiu soul pets that are sold in the Space Control Department."
Gou Liang said seriously, "I'm just poor, I can't afford to raise other soul pets!"
That was definitely not his beauty! Although … after looking at them for a long time, these two pets were also ugly but cute.
"Shh." Han Zhan brought him around the snoring pets and walked deeper into the cave. He said in a low voice, "Ever since the Heavenly Sun people stopped exploring, they haven't had a playmate for a long time. If they discover us, it will be hard to get rid of them."
Gou Liang looked back at the soundly sleeping Pixiu pet. Suddenly, a scene flashed in his mind. A snow-white giant wolf grabbed the round pets and threw them away like a ball. Then, it flew over to pick them up and threw them away again … Gou Liang facepalmed. So, how did the Lord God raise him? Why did he not only love to bark, but even his hobbies were no different from a dog's?
"… Xiao Kener?"
"Hmm?"
Gou Liang came back to his senses and realized that they had already reached the end of the cave.
The cave walls were full of sparkling and translucent flowers. They flickered on the fiery red rock walls and were extremely dazzling. In front of him was a hot spring that was emitting steam. The clear water was clearly visible. The walls of the pool were white like jade, and at the bottom of the pool were colorful eggs that were engraved with complicated and mysterious patterns. It was extremely enchanting.
Gou Liang went forward and squatted down to take a closer look. He said in surprise, "These eggs are really engraved with laws. What kind of eggs are these? Did those two Pixiu give birth to them? "
"They're both males." Han Zhan said.
"So what if they're males? As long as you're willing, they can give birth to a football team."
Gou Liang completely disagreed. Even the Lord God was gay, what was impossible?
Han Zhan who heard his thoughts coughed and pulled him over. He took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Gou Liang was very interested in the eggs at the bottom of the pool. Just as he was about to swim down to take a look, Han Zhan pushed him against the wall of the pool.
Gou Liang then realized that his eyes had turned a faint gold color.
"What's wrong?"
Han Zhan didn't answer. He leaned forward and pressed the hot part of his body against Gou Liang's body. He said hoarsely, "Xiao Kener, I can't wait any longer."
He kissed Gou Liang's lips and eagerly rubbed against them. He separated Gou Liang's legs and rushed in. Gou Liang, whose lips were sealed, curled up from the sudden intrusion. He didn't feel any pain. He was sweating all over and couldn't help but shout, "It's so hot … Han Zhan, what's wrong with you? It's too, too hot."
It was as if a hot iron was wedged into his body. Although Gou Liang didn't feel any discomfort, the unprecedented heat still made his heart palpitate.
Han Zhan gasped softly. The tight softness finally gave him some relief. He gently kissed Gou Liang's forehead and said, "I'm sorry, Xiao Kener. In here … I can't stand it."
"What?"
Gou Liang was so hot that he couldn't hear anything clearly. He couldn't even taste the delicious pure Sovereign's Might that Han Zhan fed him. His body shook violently from the violent impact. He could only hug Han Zhan with all his strength and instinctively cry out.
After a long time, Gou Liang realized that the eggs engraved with the Laws of Nature in the pool were none other than his tears.
They originated from the pair of crystal-like eyes that made it difficult for people to suppress the desire in their hearts. Even Han Zhan found it difficult to control himself.
"Roar?"
A cry close to his ear made Gou Liang, who was immersed in pleasure, come back to his senses. He turned his head and met a pair of eyes that were as big as copper bells.
"Ah …"
Gou Liang was so shocked that he immediately shrank back. Han Zhan groaned and pounded even harder.
Gou Liang clasped his back tightly and sobbed, "Han Zhan … there's, there's something … the Pi, Pi Xiu is awake … quickly, chase it away …"
Han Zhan chuckled. "Xiao Kener, you're biting so tightly. You like this kind of excitement, don't you?"
"Bullshit, you're not allowed to be seen by others!"
Gou Liang glared at him. Han Zhan smiled and said, "Don't worry, it can't see us."
Gou Liang turned his head and saw that the Pi Xiu kept reaching its head towards them, but it was blocked by an invisible force. It roared in confusion.
However, he didn't have the energy to care about it.
He could only sink, sink, and drown in Han Zhan's gentleness.
