"Qing'er!" Di Xin walked towards Mu Qing excitedly.

"Stop!" Mu Qing looked at him coldly and scolded, "Di Xin, as far as I'm concerned, I'm already dead five years ago! Stop bothering me!"

"Qing'er, let me explain. Five years ago, your palace caught fire. When I arrived, you were nowhere to be found. I still don't know who killed you, and I've been looking for you for the past five years!"

In front of Mu Qing, Di Xin did not refer to himself as "I, the Lonely One"; his heart was filled with longing for her!

"Looking for me?" Mu Qing pointed at the two dead women lying on the ground, pretending to be hers, and said angrily, "Is this your evidence that you came looking for me? What do you think I am? Someone else can take my place?"

"No, Mu Qing, the only person I've ever loved is you!"

Mu Qing shook her head and couldn't help but sneer, "Do you think I would believe that? You have three thousand beauties in your harem now, you don't need me at all! Besides, no matter what happened in that fire, you still owe me! If you hadn't brought me into this cage, how could I have suffered so much humiliation and finally had to use a clever escape to avoid a fatal threat!"

"It's all your fault!" Mu Qing's eyes reddened slightly, and there was another reason—

It was him, he was the real culprit who caused Gu Liyan's serious injury!

Di Xin nodded, looking dejected, and said, "That's right. It's all because I brought you to the palace that you suffered this calamity. Tell me, how can I make amends for my mistake? I'll give you anything I have!"

Mu Qing coldly replied, "Fine, since that's the case, I want the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart!"

Di Xin was stunned, looking at Mu Qing in astonishment. "A heart with seven orifices?! You, do you know that this heart with seven orifices is the heart of the sage Bi Gan? Bi Gan was a wise strategist and advisor of our Great Shang Dynasty, how could you..."

"What? You can't do it? Since you can't, then I'll go get it myself! If your men dare to stop me, I guarantee they'll die a horrible death!" Mu Qing glanced coldly at Di Xin, then turned to leave.

"Wait!" Di Xin hurriedly spoke, looking at Mu Qing with a determined and expectant expression, and asked, "Qing'er, if I obtain the Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart, will you stay by my side?"

Mu Qing looked at Di Xin and said, "Let's talk about it when you can get it! I'm only giving you three days!"

After saying that, Mu Qing turned and left without looking back.

Looking at Mu Qing's back and then at the two beauties lying lifeless beside him, Di Xin felt no grief for some reason. Instead, he felt even more eager to conquer Mu Qing!

Clenching his fists, he was determined to win Mu Qing's heart!
