Mu Mu's tears dripped onto little Yin Lin's face. The little guy blinked and stretched out his hand to touch Mu Mu's eyes. His covered black eyes were full of worry.

Mu Miao looked at Ling Xi with tear-filled eyes and shook his head, indicating that he would not cry anymore and would not make any rash noise.

Only then did Ling Xi put his hand down.

Mu Mu's voice was filled with tears, and she tried her best to lower her voice, "Why are you here?"

Ling Xi crossed her arms and said nonchalantly, "Such a serious incident has occurred. As the princess of Daqi, I naturally have to come and protect my queen and prince."

"Of course, I'm not referring to you." Ling Xi looked him up and down, and pointed at Yin Yan in his arms. "It's this brat, and you are not worthy."

"You only cry when things go wrong. I don't want to be loyal to a useless emperor like you in the future."

Mu Miao lowered her eyelashes and wiped the tears from her face. "Whatever you say."

He didn't have time to bother with Ling Xiduo. He kept paying attention to the movements of the two people outside, ready to go find Yin Yan as soon as they left.

A sharp sword flew past Mu Mu's face and pierced the man's chest. The remaining man shuddered and shouted angrily, "Who?! Come out!"

Mu Miao was startled for a moment and turned to look at Ling Xi.

Ling Xi was calm and composed. The long sword in the scabbard tied to her belt was gone. She curled her red lips and quickly formed seals with her hands, "You useless piece of shit, learn from me."

As she clasped her hands together, the ground around the man trembled, and a large hand formed from the ground slapped the middle. Before the man could even let out a scream, blood and flesh splattered everywhere.

Mu Miao swallowed and looked at Ling Xi hesitantly, "...Thank you."

The huge palace was filled with people searching for Yin Yan and Mu Miao. Mu Miao could only carefully avoid them and find the right time to shuttle between different palaces to look for Yin Yan.

Mu Miao took out a phoenix feather dagger, which was given to him by Yin Yan when he was just able to transform. Yin Yan taught him step by step how to use the sharp blade to protect himself.

Mu Mu hid in the dark, found the right moment and skillfully threw the dagger. The golden phoenix fire wrapped around the blade, and just a little bit of it was enough to burn the entire body to ashes.

It can be said to be an essential artifact for killing people and disposing of corpses.

What puzzled Mu Miao was that Ling Xi had been following him. Finally, after tying up a man and finding out that Yin Yan had left the palace, Mu Miao turned and looked at Ling Xi.

"Why are you following me?"

"I didn't follow you." Ling Xi denied it seriously, moved closer to Mu Mu, stretched out a finger and poked little Yin Lin's face, "The child is in your hands. As long as you give me the little prince, I will leave immediately."

Mu Miao didn't trust her and hugged little Yin Lin cautiously, "Impossible."

Ling Xi shrugged. "That's no use. The Ling family has been loyal to the king of Daqi for generations. The one in your arms is my future master. If you don't give it to me, I won't leave."

Mu Miao was indignant, "Don't even think about it."

He would never hand little Yinlin over to anyone else.

Mu Miao no longer paid attention to Ling Xi. Since he couldn't drive her away, he just ignored her.

Since Yin Yan has left the palace, Mu Miao plans to go to Ming Jue's mansion to take a look.

001 suddenly said: [No need to go.]

Mu Miao was puzzled. [Why? Mingjue will definitely help me.]

He thought 001 meant that Mingjue would not help him.

001: [Ming Jue doesn't exist at all. In the original historical trajectory, the Prime Minister had no son at all. Ming Jue exists for you, but that doesn't conform to reality.]

Mu Mu stopped and took a breath. [But, I just played with him all day yesterday.]

001: [Perhaps Xi Yunchi felt that you were lonely during this period and came to accompany you. After all, in the original world, Yin Jingnan only had Yin Yan in Daqi, and the other officials' children were hostile to him.]

Mu Miao: [...Can you help me locate Yin Yan? ]

001: [Okay, anyway, Yin Jingnan did find Yin Yan in the end, so this doesn't go against the facts.]

"But, little fool, what's coming next will be very painful. Now you can leave this world. Do you want to go?"

——I killed him.

Yin Jingnan's words were still ringing in his ears, but Mu Miao knew that Yin Jingnan would never take action against Yin Yan. Did this mean that there had been an unusual turn of events?

If he seizes this opportunity, can he change the future?

Mu Miao shook her head gently, [No, I won't go back.]

001 guessed what he was thinking. He looked at the information that Qu Linxi had just sent him. The information also showed that Yin Yan's ending was that he was killed by Yin Jingnan.

Although he didn't know why this happened, 001 firmly believed that there must be something fishy going on.

001 sighed and said earnestly, "That's fine, but little fool, I must tell you that even if all causes and effects change temporarily, they will eventually return to their original state."

Afterwards, he told Mu Miao the location of Yin Yan.

Mu Miao resolutely carried little Yin Lin and ran towards the woods outside Cheng. Ling Xi was confused by his sudden action and ran after him.

These outsiders all came from other worlds around them. There were many powerful people among them. Those who stayed in the palace were all people of low strength. The truly powerful ones were all led out of the city by Yin Yan.

Mu Mu was too lazy to run, so he paused for a moment. In an instant, white wings spread out behind him, and he flapped his wings and flew to the tree.

Mu Miao held little Yinlin in one hand and supported the tree trunk with the other, looking down at the lush forest. Through the layers of leaves, he could vaguely see several figures constantly moving back and forth.

Ling Xi nimbly jumped onto the tree and stood beside Mu Mu. She rested her finger on her chin and looked at the pair of white wings. "Hey, you're not human. What tribe are you from?"

Mu Miao: "Same as Yin Yan."

Ling Xi stared at him speechlessly, "If you don't want to say it, you don't have to. Why are you being so perfunctory? Do you think I'm a fool?"

Mu Miao: “?”

He was clearly telling the truth, how could he be perfunctory?

But the movement below attracted Mu Mu's attention. A man wrapped in a black robe rushed straight towards Mu Mu.

Ling Xi pushed him and said, "Why are you standing there? You've been discovered, why don't you take action now?"

Before she finished her words, a cloud of black mist rushed towards them. Mu Mu frowned, tapped her toes, and flew up.

Mu Miao took out the phoenix feather dagger with his backhand. The golden dagger turned a few times between his fingers. He chopped it head-on, cutting the black mist in half. The two halves fell to the ground and were burned up by the burning phoenix fire.

The grass that was covered by the black fog withered very quickly, revealing bare land.

Mu Mu moved his fingers, and the phoenix feather dagger quickly returned to his hand. This skillful action seemed to have been performed countless times. Mu Mu actually didn't know how to use the dagger, it was completely an instinctive reaction of this body.

"Pa pa." Ling Xi clapped his hands, glanced at the ground, and glanced at Mu Miao. "Wow, not bad."

After being belittled for so long, Mu Miao felt inexplicably happier when he heard this compliment. He suppressed the smile on his lips and looked at the man in black robe on the other side with a cold expression.

Mu Mu looked him up and down and taunted him, "You're wrapped up so tightly, are you ashamed to be seen?"

The black-robed man was wrapped up completely, not even a hair was visible. He spoke in a hoarse and unpleasant voice, "Your Highness, you are so harsh. This is not good. Children are more likable if they are well behaved."

Mu Miao frowned, "You know me, who are you?"

The man in black robe smiled and was about to keep the secret, but the next second he heard Ling Xi say slowly, "Second Prince Qin, it's not right for you to bully a child here."

Qin Yuxuan took off his hood with a gloomy look, "...How did you recognize me?"

Mu Miao also looked at Ling Xi curiously.

Ling Xi spread his hands with an innocent expression, "I didn't recognize him, I was just guessing. I didn't expect that I would be so lucky to guess right on the first try."

Qin Yuxuan: "..."

Mu Miao clenched the Phoenix Feather in her hand, "Where's Yin Yan? Where did you take him?"

Even though his identity was exposed, Qin Yuxuan remained calm. He glanced at Mu Miao and Ling Xi with disdain and chuckled, "Now you know how to find your father? But I'm sorry, I didn't know either."

"But..." He changed the subject and stared at Mu Mu, a faint black mist lingering in his hands, "As long as we catch you and the little brat you're holding, there's no need to worry about him not coming out."

This also means that Yin Yan is safe now.

Mu Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

Ling Xi slowly moved to his side, secretly reached out and pushed him, and moved his mouth slightly, "Take the little prince and go quickly."

Mu Miao: "I can beat him."

Ling Xi raised an eyebrow in surprise, "His strength is second only to the Lord. You can beat him. Are you stupid?"

Mu Miao already had a plan. He handed little Yinlin to Ling Xi. Little Yinlin was in the hands of a stranger and held Mu Miao's hand unhappily.

Mu Miao pinched his little face and said, "Take him away first."

Ling Xi grabbed his hand, frowning, "Calm down, you can't beat him."

Mu Miao brushed her hand away and said, "How can you know if you don't try?"

The Phoenix clan, favored by Heaven, is completely different from the canary in a cage.

Mu Mu's body changed, and a huge phoenix replaced the human body. Its whole body was white, with a faint frost condensed between its feathers, and its ice-blue eyes stared at Qin Yuxuan coldly.

With its appearance, the temperature around it dropped a lot, and a layer of frost covered the grass, spreading from the white phoenix to the surrounding areas.

In the extremely cold land in the south of the territory, the snowy land raging with cold winds was spreading to the surroundings at an extremely fast speed. Heavy snow fell, and any objects touched by the snowflakes were frozen into ice sculptures in an instant.

The snow fell in more and more places, and the people who had not had time to hide were turned into ice in an instant, and shattered all over the ground the next second.

Heavy snow is spreading towards Kyoto.

Qin Yuxuan was surprised. The mythical beast in front of him looked exactly like a phoenix, except for its snow-white feathers.

But it is impossible for a phoenix to have white offspring.

Qin Yuxuan: "What the hell are you?"

Mu Mu ignored him, flapped his wings and flew into the sky, his long tail feathers fluttering beautifully, and bits of frost fell from his body.

The irresistible, bone-deep cold tortured everyone present. Ling Xi rubbed his arms and muttered complainingly, "This stupid thing can't distinguish friend from foe."

Even though his teeth were chattering from the cold, Ling Xi still took off his outer cape and covered little Yin Lin with it, "Don't let the child get frozen."

Little Yinlin didn't feel cold at all. He stared at the silver phoenix hovering in the sky with his eyes wide open. He stretched out his two little hands and grabbed it, "Ah..."

Brother.

Faced with Mu Mu's true form, Qin Yuxuan was completely powerless to resist and was completely suppressed by Mu Mu.

The powerful body of the divine beast could easily make him spit out blood with just one wing. When Qin Yuxuan knocked down the fifth tree, he could no longer hold back and covered his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

His eyes were red as he stared at Mu Mu.

How is it possible? It's just a little bird, how can it be stronger than Yin Yan?!

Ling Xi stared in amazement as Mu Mu beat Qin Yuxuan into a state of disarray, muttering, "No wonder the Lord chose you. It seems my defeat was not unfair..."

The appearance of such a huge monster above the forest naturally caused the other people who were chasing Yin Yan to stop and look up at Mu Mu.

Yin Yan also seized the opportunity to get rid of the group of people behind him.

His body was covered in blood, with a deep wound on his back that was visible to the bone. His white clothes were almost dyed red by the blood. Blood dripped onto the ground as he walked, and his brows were full of fatigue.

When he saw the silver-white phoenix, his heart sank, "Jingnan..."

Yin Yan naturally knew the little bird he raised. It was silvery white, as beautiful as the first snow in winter.

Seeing that the group had lost him and ran towards Mu Mu angrily, Yin Yan ran a few steps, and the next second a golden phoenix flew into the sky.

Its body was several times larger than Mu Mu's. Yin Yan directly held Mu Mu in his mouth and swooped down to the ground with him.

The moment they landed, they both transformed into human form.

Mu Miao opened his mouth, "Um, that... Yin Yan... I..."

sorry……

"What are you doing here?!" Yin Yan's eyes were red and watery, and he shouted at him loudly, "Do you know how dangerous it is here, huh?! Do you know?!"

Mu Mu was so dizzy from being yelled at that he couldn't find the words for a long time.

Seeing the outsider approaching, Yin Yan grabbed Mu Mu's hand and ran with him, and with his other hand he grabbed the stunned Ling Xi. Ling Xi staggered and quickly hugged little Yin Lin.

Qin Yuxuan struggled to get up, wiped the blood from his mouth, and stared at their departing backs with hatred, "Go kill them! I'm going to cut that little one into pieces!"

The tall woman among the outsiders lifted his chin and patted his face frivolously, her eyes scornful. "Don't use such an imperative tone. It makes me want to kill you."

Qin Yuxuan turned his head away in frustration.

The outsiders stared at the direction where Yin Yan and the other two had left, looked at each other, and leaped at the same time, stepping lightly on the branches through the woods, quickly chasing after them.

Mu Mu was led by Yin Yan the entire time. He caught a glimpse of the scars on Yin Yan's back and gasped, "Yin Yan...you...you lost a lot of blood..."

Yin Yan ignored him and turned around to scold him, "Don't talk, run quickly."

He turned his head and looked behind him. Several people were following him. Mu Mu naturally saw them as well. He threw out the Phoenix Feather Dagger with his backhand and controlled the dagger to attack.

But soon Mu Mu began to feel exhausted. This body was just a juvenile body that had not yet grown up, and the spiritual power in the body was limited. He had used up most of the spiritual power just now, and Mu Mu was panting.

Yin Yan suddenly stopped and put his hands on Mu Mu's shoulders. The blood on his hands soaked Mu Mu's clothes.

His eyes were filled with sadness. He stared at Mu Mu for a while, then suddenly hugged him in his arms and held him tightly. "...You are still so young, how can I leave you alone?"

Mu Mu felt a surge of panic and grabbed his hand, "What are you going to do?"

Yin Yan held him for a while, then looked at little Yin Lin and reached out to pinch his little face. Little Yin Lin thought his father was playing with him, so he smiled with his eyes curved and reached out to ask for a hug.

But Yin Yan did not hug him. Instead, he turned to look at Mu Miao and brought him to Ling Xi. He looked at the two of them and opened his arms to hug Mu Miao, Ling Xi, and the little Yin Lin that Ling Xi was holding in his arms.

Yin Yan pulled the corners of his lips together, revealing a smile. He patted Mu Miao and Ling Xi's heads one by one, "You two must live well. Little Yin Lin... I'm leaving it to you."

He fixed his gaze on the little Yinlin biting his finger and pulled his hand out, "...but if at the end, you can't keep it, just give up on it."

After he said that, he turned his head cruelly and walked back the way he came.

Mu Miao felt like a huge rock was pressing on his chest, and he couldn't help but call Yin Yan a few times, but he didn't look back.

The dazzling golden phoenix revealed its figure and flew in another direction. Mu Mu's face was wet with tears. She struggled to run towards Yin Yan, "Yin Yan! Yin Yan, come back!"

He rushed towards Yin Yan recklessly, but was pulled back by Ling Xi. Ling Xi stood in front of him with red eyes.

“Bang!”

Ling Xi slapped Mu Mu in the face, and Mu Mu's face was tilted. He stared at Ling Xi in a daze.

Ling Xi saw that there was another group of people chasing after them. He anxiously pulled Mu Mu and yelled at him, "Don't let the Queen's sacrifice go to waste. Wake up! Follow me!"

Her voice was so loud that little Yinlin burst into tears, and Mu Miao was reluctantly dragged away by Ling Xi.

Mu Miao and Ling Xi hid everywhere, and in the end Ling Xi's spiritual power was almost exhausted, and her red skirt was covered with a lot of dust.

They hid in a secret cave, covered the outside entrance with weeds, and huddled tightly inside.

Mu Miao seemed to have lost her soul. She just kept crying and didn't say a word. She stared blankly at little Yinlin. Ling Xi held little Yinlin in her arms and coaxed him. Little Yinlin was probably tired of crying and fell asleep sobbing.

Ling Xi glanced at Mu Miao, then gently placed little Yin Lin on the ground. He walked over to Mu Miao and pressed him against the wall. With a fierce look in his eyes, he pointed at his nose and threatened, "Don't try to kill me. It's not irreversible yet. Do you understand?"

Mu Miao burst into tears and covered his mouth tightly with his hands, fearing that his crying would disturb little Yinlin.

"I was praising you just now." Ling Xi said irritably, "You were reliable just now, but now you're not. Don't be such a wimp!"

Mu Miao was so desperate that she burst into tears. "Yes, I am so useless and cowardly. Wuwuwu, Yin Yan, I'm sorry..."

Ling Xi: “…”
