So... Is There Still Colin Gu?

Leon Zane struggled with all his might, but the whip restraining him seemed to have some kind of spell on it. Strange symbols glowed along its length, binding him tighter and tighter.

He, the dignified Young Dragon Lord, was actually being pinned to the ground and beaten up by a woman who hadn't even ascended yet. How could he show his face if word got out?

Leon Zane swore that next time, he would chop Rina Chu up and feed her to the dogs...

......

Inside the Spirit Barrier, Evan Xiao turned around and saw Grace following him in. His gaze turned cold. "Why did you come in? Get out."

"Evan Xiao!" Grace called out. "I came to Drake Abyss just to find you."

Evan Xiao's face remained cold and he said nothing.

"That day—"

"Shut up!" Evan Xiao glared at her, his expression icy.

He didn't want to hear anything about that day!

He didn't want to hear a single word.

"Can you just let me finish a sentence?" Grace yelled.

Miraculously, Evan Xiao actually shut up after she shouted at him.

"Do you remember what I told you about living two lives?" Grace asked.

Back then, she mentioned it to Evan Xiao while explaining how Ray was born.

"So what if I remember?"

"In my previous life, I went undercover beside Henry Tuoba for Colin Gu," Grace said. "Henry Tuoba treated me well, but my heart was only for Colin Gu. In the end... Colin Gu won. The Vermilion Kingdom became the Blue Moon Kingdom. Henry Tuoba lost everything—his country, his family, and was shot dead on the mountain... But when he died, he told me he didn't blame me..."

Grace looked pained. "That day, I thought you'd killed him. You have no idea how guilty I felt! I thought, in this life, I'd killed him again! I wanted to die to pay for what I'd done!"

Evan Xiao's eyes grew even colder.

"Anyway, that day, it was guilt—deep guilt toward Henry Tuoba—that made me act like that... But I don't have any other feelings for him."

Evan Xiao looked at her and asked, "So... there's Colin Gu too?"

"Huh?" Grace suddenly had a bad feeling.

Did she say something wrong?

"So it's not just Henry Tuoba, but also Colin Gu! Who else? Just say it all at once!" Evan Xiao's voice was so cold it could freeze.

Grace shook her head hard. "No! No! Colin Gu was my past life. In this life, from the very beginning, I've only ever liked you!"

Evan Xiao was silent for a moment before asking, "Are you done?"

Grace: "...I'm done."

"You all have until sunset tomorrow to leave Drake Abyss."

Grace stared at him: "..."

Evan Xiao opened the Spirit Barrier, grabbed her, and tossed her out. Then he left as well.

Then they saw Leon Zane had been beaten by Rina Chu until he looked like a panda.

One eye was black and swollen, his face covered in bruises, and he was smeared with mud and grass.

"Ah! Rina, how did you beat the Young Master Drake up like this?" Grace asked.

"He deserved it." Rina Chu saw Evan Xiao coming and didn't dare keep the whip around Leon Zane's neck, so she let him go.

Leon Zane immediately tried to kill Rina Chu.

Rina Chu darted behind Grace, sticking out her tongue at Leon Zane in triumph.

"If you're so tough, stop hiding! Come out!" Leon Zane shouted at Rina Chu, careful not to hurt Grace.

Rina Chu pointed at Evan Xiao. "The Crown Prince is gone! If you don't get lost, I'll beat you up again!"

Leon Zane looked back and saw the Crown Prince really had left.

"Hey? Crown Prince? Why'd you leave again? So what are we even doing here?" Leon Zane chased after him.
