Mo Li and Mo Han bound Jin Erjia and the others and brought them back to the royal city. Just as they arrived at the city gate, they saw Wang Qiankun and Mo Chen leading their soldiers out with solemn expressions.

"Mo Li!" Mo Chen saw Mo Li covered in blood and rushed over, thinking he was injured again. "Damn it, how did you get hurt again! What am I supposed to say to you..."

Mo Li rolled her eyes. "It wasn't me, it was Mulan who was injured."

"Mulan?"

Apart from Mo Chen and Mo Han, everyone else looked at Hua Mulan in Mo Li's arms with strange expressions...

Wang Qiankun's expression was rather unpleasant: Brother, you don't have to be so blatant about liking men!

"What exactly is going on?" Mo Chen was a little confused when he saw Mo Han return with Mo Li.

"It's hard to explain in a few words. Mo Li, take Hua Mulan back to heal her wounds first!" Mo Han said, then pointed to Jin Erjia behind him and said with a solemn expression, "The people behind us are very important. Send someone to keep an eye on them. Mo Chen and General Wang, you two come with me."

——

Mo Li placed Hua Mulan on the bed, closed the doors and windows, and looked at Hua Mulan's pale, sleeping appearance. He frowned slightly and said reproachfully, "How could you be so foolish? You actually used your own flesh and blood to shield me from arrows..."

Mo Li gritted his teeth and stopped arguing. He channeled his life-giving power into Hua Mulan's body. Although it was a small amount, it was enough to heal Hua Mulan's wounds to some extent.

"Cough cough..."

After Mo Li finished channeling the power of endless life, he felt like he couldn't catch his breath, and his head began to spin. The peach blossom mark at the corner of his eye also faded a bit. "Is the power of endless life almost exhausted...?"

Mo Li sighed, turned his back to Hua Mulan, and coughed softly.

At this moment, Mulan was awakened by a series of rapid coughs, and the burning pain from her wounds made her sweat profusely.

Suddenly, he saw Mo Li with her back to him. Looking at Mo Li's pale face, which was just as pale as his own, he realized how haggard she looked.

Hua Mulan recalled that when she first saw Mo Li, she was stunned by his stunningly beautiful face.

Then, in order to help them win, he fought the enemy general alone. At that time, I didn't help him because I was considering the overall situation. Fortunately, he won, and won very well!

What was initially thought to be a victorious ending turned into a surprise attack. Mo Li shielded her, the blood-soaked scene still vivid in her mind…

Now that she knows Mo Li is the fox spirit who saved her in the darkness... he's different now, his place in her heart is different...

"Mo Li..."

Mo Li was taken aback and turned around to look at Hua Mulan, who was smiling at him with eyes full of tenderness.

"You, you're awake..."

Mulan nodded, her eyes revealing only tenderness.

"I, I'll go get you some chicken soup..." Mo Li said nervously.

After saying that, he ran straight out of the room, and before Mulan could say a word, he was already out of sight.

Mo Li had just stepped out the door when she bumped into the soldier who was taking care of her. She quickly grabbed him and asked, "Hey, bro, is there still the chicken soup you make for me every day?"

The young soldier blinked his big, watery eyes and said, "Yes, does Young Master Mo want to drink it now?"

Mo Li nodded. "Okay!"

A short while later, Mo Li ladled out a bowl of the cooked chicken soup and carefully placed it in front of Hua Mulan. Hua Mulan looked at Mo Li with a pale face for a long time without taking it.

Finally, Mulan glanced at Mo Li and said with a resentful look, "Are you just going to be stupid and wait for the chicken soup to get cold before you give me any?"

Mo Li was stunned for a moment and then came to his senses. He handed the chicken soup to Hua Mulan. The moment he touched her hand, Mo Li clearly saw that Hua Mulan blushed shyly.

She... really likes me!

Seeing Mo Li's nervous expression, Hua Mulan couldn't help but smile. "Fox Fairy, so you can be this nervous too?"

"Huh?" Mo Li stared blankly at Hua Mulan, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Hua Mulan pursed her lips, her face full of smiles. It turned out that the person who had protected her from the very beginning was Mo Li, the person who knew her and loved her was also Mo Li. With his perfection and reliability, what reason did she have not to love him?

Just then, Mulan suddenly noticed that Mo Li's hand, cut by thorns, still had sharp thorns and was oozing blood. Mulan quickly put down the chicken soup, grabbed Mo Li's hand, and said reproachfully, "You stupid fox! Can't you feel the pain? Why don't you treat your wound!"

"Huh?" Mo Li paused for a second, then hurriedly said, "It's just a superficial wound, it's nothing serious."

Looking at Mo Li's pale face, Mulan did not expose his lie, but stared at his hand and silently shed tears.

Mo Li was startled and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Why are you crying? Is your wound hurting too much? Let me treat you again..."

Before Mo Li could finish speaking, Hua Mulan hugged him tightly, "Silly boy...you're such a fool..."

You are the one who has given the most.

You were the one who was hurt the most.

You're the one who's clearly been wronged.

Why bother caring about others...?

"You're so foolish!" Mulan hugged Mo Li tightly, feeling his cold body temperature and feeling a heartache that made it hard to breathe...

Mo Li smiled slightly, "If I weren't stupid, how could I be holding a beauty in my arms right now?"

Hua Mulan suddenly pushed Mo Li away and shouted, "Ha! So you've always known my secret, but now I know yours too..."

Mo Li blinked. "So?"

"So, if you treat me badly, or reveal the secret, I'll tell the whole world you're a stupid fox!" Mulan smiled wickedly, exuding a witch-like aura.

Mo Li was slightly taken aback upon seeing this, then burst into laughter, "Hahaha..."

"What are you laughing at? I'm serious!" Mulan rolled her eyes.

Mo Li's smile vanished, and he suddenly grabbed Hua Mulan's hand with a serious expression, looking at her with intense gaze. "So, does that mean you're willing to accept my love for you?"

Hua Mulan stared blankly at Mo Li, who was so close to her. His beauty made her feel somewhat inferior. How could someone as perfect as Mo Li like someone as ordinary as herself? Was this a dream?

Mulan lowered her head, her face burning. Even if it was a dream, even if one day the dream might end, she would enjoy the beauty of the dream to the fullest!

Hua Mulan suddenly smiled, raised her head, and looked at Mo Li with her clear and captivating eyes. Only her crisp voice could be heard:

"Yes, I accept, because I like you too!"

Seeing Mulan nod, Mo Li was so happy he didn't know whether to cry or laugh. How long had he waited to be able to spend this leisure time with her?

They couldn't be together often in the Heavenly Palace, they couldn't meet in Chaoge, and when they met again, the war prevented them from falling in love. Now, they've finally made it through, and they can finally be like they were before...

Even if it's a dream, even if I wake up, Mo Li wants this dream to be more beautiful, happier, and longer...
