"Little Peony." Li Muge hesitated for a long time before finally saying what she wanted to say, even though she knew Little Peony would definitely not agree.

"What's wrong?" Little Peony smiled at Li Muge. She liked her current life very much. It was quiet and undisturbed by anyone. Most importantly, she could stay by the Dharma Protector's side.

"Little Peony, since you like tranquility, I have heard that there is a place in the human world that is extremely secluded and has particularly beautiful scenery. I believe that if you go there, you will definitely love it."

Li Muge tried her best to keep her tone calm so that Xiao Shaoyao wouldn't notice anything amiss.

Perhaps sending Little Peony away would be the right choice.

"Guardian." Little Peony called her by the wrong title again, but in Little Peony's heart, Mu Ge would always be that woman who, although fierce, was very kind to her. She knew that the Guardian actually looked fierce.

In fact, she is not fierce at all. The Dharma Protector should be an extremely gentle and caring woman. It's just that her past life was too bitter, which made her too afraid, so she chose this indestructible disguise.

"Guardian, are you still unwilling to forgive me because of what happened before? Guardian, I know I was wrong. Can you please not send me away?" Little Peony's tears fell drop by drop under the tree she had planted.

"How could that be? Little Peony, don't cry. It's really not. I really don't care. Besides," Li Muge deliberately put on a stern face, "You still don't understand. If I really cared, I would have settled things with you long ago. I just think you're too bored staying here. Look at how carefree you used to be."

“Now, although the conditions in the Immortal Realm are much better than those in the Demon Realm, it’s too stifling.” Li Muge patted Little Peony’s head: “Little Peony, go and see the outside world. It will broaden your horizons and your mood.”

Little Peony resolutely rejected Li Muge's suggestion, stubbornly expressing her unwillingness to leave. Li Muge found it difficult to persuade her, and if Little Peony knew the truth, she would probably be even less willing to leave.

Li Muge returned to Chunqiu Pavilion.

We haven't even had half an hour of rest yet.

A subordinate reported that Ye Yingyuan had arrived.

"He's coming?" Li Muge could share memories with her alternate personality, so she naturally knew why Ye Yingyuan had come. After thinking for a moment, she pondered and said, "Let him in."

Ye Yingyuan entered the Spring and Autumn Pavilion leaning on his cane. He had originally thought that the Three Realms were all bleak, but Li Muge's words gave him hope again.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Ye Yingyuan wanted to kneel down.

"No need for formalities." Li Muge rubbed his temples. "Tell me why you've come."

Ye Yingyuan's lips moved slightly: "I have come here this time hoping to fulfill my promise and revive Yao Ling Tongtong."

Li Muge nodded: "I understand, here you go." She took a small purse from her sleeve and tossed it to Ye Yingyuan.

"This is..." Ye Yingyuan caught the pouch, opened it, and saw a spirit pearl that glowed with green light.

Li Muge sighed: "When members of the Yaoling clan's royal family are born, they actually leave a wisp of their primordial spirit in their ancestral hall. Once the owner of the primordial spirit is in danger, the only remaining primordial spirit will automatically seal itself. However... if Ye Yingyuan wants to truly revive Tongtong, it may take thousands or tens of thousands of years. Are you really willing to spend that time on Tongtong?"

After confirming that Li Muge had not deceived him, Ye Yingyuan carefully placed the spirit pearl containing Tongtong's soul on his chest, then knelt down before Li Muge: "Your Majesty, I am willing. In this world, the only person who is truly good to me is Tongtong. I am willing to give up even if it takes hundreds of thousands of years, let alone thousands of years."

"Alright!" If it were before, Li Muge would have thought Ye Yingyuan was incredibly foolish.

But after falling in love with Yun Qi, Li Muge put herself in his shoes and thought that if she were in Ye Yingyuan's situation, she would also be willing to wait.

After saying goodbye to Li Muge, Ye Yingyuan prepared to leave Chunqiu Pavilion.

"Wait a minute." Li Muge called out to Ye Yingyuan, "Ye Yingyuan, you have said goodbye to me, but there is still someone you have not said goodbye to."

"Who else?" Ye Yingyuan asked, puzzled.

There was no one else in this hall except Li Muge.

Moreover, although the Three Realms are vast, Ye Yingyuan curled his lips in self-deprecation, and those he associated with were merely entangled in matters of interest.

"Ye Luo." Li Muge raised her hand and looked at the color of her newly done nail polish. Although she said it lightly, she didn't know why she still felt a little guilty.

"Impossible. She's already dead. Does Your Majesty expect me to go to her grave to say that? But too much time has passed; I doubt I'll be able to find her grave anyway."

Ye Yingyuan's face was grim, and he gripped his cane tightly.

"She is indeed dead, but Ye Yingyuan, you may not know that when Ye Luo sealed the demon race, he used one of her soul fragments. Coincidentally, that foolish woman Xiao Xue destroyed the passage between the demon race and the human world in order to save her daughter."

Li Muge didn't finish her sentence. She felt that it would be better for Ye Luo, her older sister, to say the rest to Ye Yingyuan.

Li Muge threw the file in his hand and disappeared from the high platform seat.

Completely baffled, Ye Yingyuan turned to leave when a familiar voice came from behind him, causing him to freeze instantly.

"Ying Yuan".

"This...this is?" Ye Yingyuan froze briefly, then gritted his teeth. This was his older sister, Ye Luo.

"Ye Luo, after all these years, I never thought I, as your younger brother, would see you again." Compared to Li Muge, Ye Yingyuan hated Ye Luo even more, because Ye Luo had abandoned him time and time again for the sake of so-called peace in the world.

"Ying Yuan." Ye Luo's face was gentle, but she was much weaker than before.

"Your sister has never abandoned you." Ye Luo had watched her younger brother grow up since he was a child, so she naturally knew what Ye Yingyuan hated.

Now that his last remaining soul fragment is about to disappear, Ye Luo wants to explain everything clearly.

May Ye Yingyuan no longer be tormented by hatred in his future life.

“I didn’t abandon you, sister. Sometimes I really wish it was me who sacrificed for the sake of humanity, instead of Tongtong.” Ye Yingyuan’s eyes reddened as he questioned Ye Luo: “Sister, you are so cruel. Tongtong is so kind and innocent, why did you use her? Why did you make her sacrifice herself to exchange for your peace in the human world?”

Ye Luo lowered her eyes: "Little brother, I admit that I did know back then that only Tongtong could return the Zhenshi Pearl to its original place."

"But I never had the thought of letting Tongtong sacrifice her life for the peace of the world. I don't know how Tongtong found out. When I saw it, it was too late to stop her."

Ye Luo slowly approached Ye Yingyuan.
