Little Peony looked up at the Penglai Wonderland, trying not to let her tears fall, and picked up the jade comb in her hand.

"Mu An, do you know? On the night before my wedding, Mu Ge combed my hair, hoping that I would be happy after we got married."

"What did Mu Ge do wrong?"

Mu An wanted to explain.

Little Peony interrupted him: "Fine, I know. You're going to say that Mu Ge will drag me down and kill me, but that's something that will happen in the future."

"Even if Mu Ge is a bad person, she will always be genuinely good to me."

"The world forced her to bear the name of a jinx, forced her to become a demon. What did Mu Ge do wrong?"

"In this short life, her mother died early, her father despised her, her husband passed away, and her respected master wanted to kill her for the sake of the common people. How ridiculous."

"It's ridiculous. Mu Ge finally became the Crimson Moon Sect Master and was able to live and have the ability to protect herself."

"Yet he still died at the hands of the friend he trusted most."

"It was me, I killed my best friend with my own hands," Little Peony choked out.

"Even if you didn't consider Mu Ge, did you ever consider me?" Xiao Shaoyao clenched her fist tightly, letting the comb cut her hand and draw blood.

Blood dripped onto the ground, but Little Peony didn't even blink.

"How could you do this, Mu An? How could you lay a hand on me and make me kill Mu Ge with my own hands?"

"I didn't want to either, but..." Mu An wanted to explain, but found himself powerless to do so.

"Yes, because you know that Mu Ge is most vulnerable to me, and only I am the most likely to kill Mu Ge. You have put Mu Ge's life on my shoulders."

"As you wish, Mu'an will live, but I will never be happy again in my life. I will live forever in self-blame."

After saying that, Little Peony smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, if I had known that this was how I would live, I would have preferred to be dead."

"I will keep vigil for Mu Ge forever."

"Mu An, and today we will say goodbye." Little Peony bowed to Mu An, her innocent and naive gaze gone.

His voice became steady: "Mu An, I hope we will never meet again."
