Su Qing, however, felt extremely pleased. She laughed ferociously, "Hahaha, you've finally met your match. You deserve it. This is what happens when you oppose this princess."

She summoned an ice blade, her eyes seemingly laced with poison, and stabbed it fiercely at Li Muge, who was curled up on the ground.

His pale blue lips moved slightly.

But in the end, he didn't speak up to stop them.

The pain Li Muge had anticipated did not come; instead, she fell into a warm embrace.

What reached my ears was Su Qing's exclamation.

"Emperor Wuchen, what brings you here?"

Li Muge was in a lot of pain, so much so that everything in her vision blurred.

Wuchen infused his cultivation into Li Muge's body with his magic, but the damage the Demon Arrow inflicted on the demons was far too great.

Li Muge's soul has been severely injured.

"Emperor Wuchen, why did you still save her? Li Muge is a despicable woman. Only I, only I, am truly sincere towards you."

Su Qing simply stopped pretending.

The scars on her face made her speak as if she were a ghost.

Wuchen's eyes were covered with white silk.

"You dare to hurt her?"

Wuchen raised his hand, and the wooden zither reappeared in his hand.

"I will not let anyone who hurts Li Muge get away with it."

Dustless, the strings are plucked.

It was clearly the gentlest melody, yet the murderous intent within it was impossible to ignore.

"Su Qing, get out of the way." Bei Ye pulled Su Qing away, cast a spell and used his spiritual power to form a shield to resist Wu Chen's magic.

Azure saw that the mission was complete.

He glanced apologetically at Li Muge, who was lying in Wuchen's arms, while tightening his grip on the bow and arrow in his hand.

He turned and left.

Everything he did was for the Eldar.

A tribe that has been trampled into the mud by the masses no longer has the right to act as it pleases.

"Kitano, you need to understand that anyone who stands in my way will die."

Wuchen now only regrets not killing Su Qing sooner. If he had killed Su Qing that day...

Li Muge would not have suffered the kind of harm she is experiencing today.

It's all his fault.

Su Qing, oblivious to her own mortality, continued to provoke Wu Chen, insisting on her innocence.

"Emperor Wuchen, Li Muge deserves all of this. She turned me into a demon, she killed my father and mother, and she changed my life."

"Otherwise, it should have been me who loved you." Su Qing cried uncontrollably.

It's Li Muge.

Li Muge is the real culprit.

She ruined her own life, which should have been perfect.

She ruined her relationship with Emperor Wuchen.

Suddenly, Wuchen snapped a string on the zither. The broken string seemed to have its own consciousness, breaking through Beiye's spiritual barrier.

Kitano reached out to block.

The strings cut his hand, but he still didn't grab them, watching helplessly as they sliced ​​through Su Qing's throat.

Su Qing didn't even have time to react; she only felt a sharp pain in her neck and fell to the ground.

Blood quickly flowed down Su Qing's neck and onto the ground.

"No." Kitano's pupils contracted; a piece of flesh had been torn from his hand by the strings.

However, they still failed to protect Su Qing.

"Qingqing." Beiye rushed forward in a panic and hugged Su Qing, but Su Qing's eyes were filled with resentment as she stared straight at Wuchen, the man she had chased for half her life.

"Wu...chen." Su Qing finished saying this word, but ultimately received no response from Wuchen.

She closed her eyes with resentment and unwillingness.

"No, Qingqing, don't die, don't leave me." Beiye was in unbearable pain.

"Qingqing, please, don't leave me." Bei Ye picked up Su Qing's body and carried it to this spot.

In the silent forest, only Wuchen remained, holding Li Muge in his arms; Li Muge's body was frighteningly hot.

Wuchen's body was scalded red in several places, but he seemed to feel nothing.

He held Li Muge tightly and wouldn't let go.

"Li Muge, with me here, you won't vanish into thin air." Wuchen used all his magical power to channel it into Li Muge's body.

Protect Li Muge's soul and prevent the demonic arrow from burning him.

perhaps…

She should have guessed it sooner.

However, she still harbored resentment towards Wuchen because of the past, and was unwilling to believe that the Wuchen Emperor in this life was the Qingming Master who had accompanied her in the previous life.

In a daze.

Li Muge opened her eyes and looked at Wuchen's face. For some reason, it overlapped with the face of her master, Qingming.

She slowly raised her hand and grasped Wuchen's hand, gently touching the birthmark between his fingers.

"I'm sorry, it was my fault, I was wrong." Li Muge coughed up blood with every word she spoke.

"No, I didn't recognize you sooner."

Blood stained the clothes.

But she was originally dressed in red.

It wasn't very noticeable.

"It's not that you wronged me, Mu Ge. It was me who was blind and blinded by evil magic. But please believe me, you have always been the only one in my heart."

"How could you be so foolish?" Li Muge raised her hand, wanting to touch Wuchen's face one last time, but when she was about to get close to Wuchen's face, she fell limply.

Wuchen knew that Li Muge was going to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation.

But he was really worried about Mu Ge.

He used magic to infuse his divine consciousness into Li Muge's body.

Wuchen raised the corners of his lips.

That way, he can protect Li Muge for a long, long time.

I only wish for the rest of my life.

May you enjoy peace and health.

___

A hundred years later.

Phoenix descends upon the continent.

"Let me go! This princess will not marry. Whoever wants to marry me can marry me. This princess is going to cultivate Taoism."

A woman dressed in a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe was bound hand and foot and stuffed into a sedan chair by servants.

The bride was a princess of the Eastern Luo Kingdom.

The old woman followed behind the sedan chair, advising, "Princess Muge, just accept your fate. Besides, you are a noble princess of our Dongluo Kingdom. How can you cultivate Taoism?"
