Inner hall.

Gu Yanyan lowered her head shyly in front of the two of them.

"Uh! Actually, I don't know why, it's just that I seem to age more slowly than others."

He sounded very embarrassed.

Linghu Lan was speechless: ...Girl, even your way of showing off is so unique.

She imagined this scenario in her mind.

Woman A: I have money.

Gu Yanyan: I'm not old!

Woman B: I have the right.

Gu Yanyan: I'm not old!

Woman C: I am beautiful.

Gu Yanyan: I'm not old!

Women: ...Goodbye, we have nothing more to say to you.

Linghu Lan is now that ABC girl.

That's such an awesome skill! I want it too! t_t

Mu Xingzhi put his arm around Linghu Lan and laughed heartily.

"well!"

Gu Yanyan instantly understood the meaning behind Mu Xingzhi's laughter: This king can grow old with her, but you can't.

It felt like I had instantly and completely crushed my opponent.

Linghu Lan: ...How boring. I'm an old lady, and I'm already grateful if no one dislikes me. Only you treat me like a treasure.

Gu Yanyan: I was inexplicably fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection

Gu Yanyan stayed.

Help them sell alcohol together.

She has shed her naivety, but remains innocent.

She didn't like to bother Linghu Lan and often sat alone in a daze.

The aroma of wine, the glow of candlelight.

Then you can think things through more clearly.

After leaving the Chu King's residence.

She did business with Xu An for several years.

Then she suggested that she go out for a walk by herself.

Xu An smiled and said softly, "Okay! Go and come back soon, I'll wait for you here."

She didn't understand the deeper meaning behind those words at the time.

After many years, I naturally understood.

Unfortunately, there's no going back.

Later, she traveled to many places.

Because, as the girl said, no path in life is wasted; every step counts. It broadens your horizons, integrates into your soul, and ultimately shapes you into a brand new self.

She finished the bowl of chicken soup.

But after wandering around and stopping along the way, he still ended up back by the girl's side...

Is this fate, or reincarnation?

She couldn't understand...

...

There was one more person in the tavern.

Someone asked, "Is this your daughter?"

Linghu Lan was speechless: How dare you swear at me...

I've grown up to be an elder to my peers; it's so painful it's almost like I'm bleeding from a hemorrhage.

Gu Yanyan chuckled and replied, "Yes! What would you like to drink, sir?"

Linghu Lan ate a whale: ……t_t

I have absolutely no desire to take advantage of this.

Sometimes she wondered if it was the handful of various pills she fed Gu Yanyan when she saved her that had a magical effect, making her immortal?

Unfortunately, there's no way to verify it.

Some pills haven't been drawn from the system for a very long time.

She also forgot what kind of "medicine" she had been given that day.

The three of them lived their lives quietly like this.

Until one day.

Death has come.

Mu Xingzhi left before Linghu Lan.

At that time, he was a thin old man bedridden with illness, but one could still see the youthful vigor in his eyes.

Even in his old age, he'll still be a handsome old man.

Linghu Lan held his hand tightly, waiting for that moment to arrive.

The light in his eyes faded, then instantly brightened with surprise. He stared at Linghu Lan in astonishment, uttering a weak voice, "You..."

Linghu Lan nodded: "I know, I know everything, my Weitang."

Mu Xingzhi smiled.

He could no longer make a sound, yet his joy remained.

Linghu Lan pressed her forehead against his, her cheek against his.

I could feel his life rapidly slipping away from his body.

Finally, only an empty shell remained.

She thought she wasn't heartbroken.

But she still couldn't control herself and burst into tears.

Hello, Your Highness!

I only wish that we could meet again in the next life, and be young once more.
