She seized the throne through a coup, and although she didn't feel she owed that old man anything, it was still an act of patricide.

She was afraid, afraid that her father's vengeful spirit would return and assimilate her brother into a similar person.

"In a bad mood?" Su Qiluo's voice came again in my mind.

Mu Qingyun lowered her eyes and nodded slightly.

"Is it because of what happened in your sea of ​​consciousness?" Su Qiluo squeezed her hand, thought for a moment, and then gently tapped her knuckles a few times, giving her a simple hand massage.

"Hmm." Mu Qingyun closed her eyes. "I know it's fake, but I still think about it and it makes me feel a little uncomfortable."

Hearing this, Su Qiluo understood.

When he saw those images in her mind, his first guess was that they were the time travel and rebirth stories in novels and TV dramas, and that this body must be filled with some kind of terrifying thing.

Sigh, to be honest, he didn't want to watch it in the first place. But when he first heard that "elder sister" and that group of people in ancient costumes, he guessed that this was Mu Qingyun's secret.

But there was nothing he could do; their minds were connected, and he couldn't help but see them even if he didn't want to.

Now, he's actually glad he saw it back then, so he can comfort her now.

"The illusions in your mind's eye present the things you least want to happen to your subconscious; they are not only fake, but also things that are simply impossible."

He gently squeezed Mu Qingyun's hand and took a breath. "The people inside should all be your closest relatives. You know it's fake, which means you understand them. Since you understand them, what is there to be upset about?"

"Su Qiluo, you have no idea what I've been through. Do you know why I got together with you in such a short time?" Mu Qingyun felt quite comfortable being squeezed by his hand, but still wanted to explain.

"Hmm?" Su Qiluo responded.

Upon hearing this, she looked up at Su Qiluo's profile. He was truly handsome, with a perfect jawline.

“I’ve been through a lot. I’ve never liked anyone before, not even for a moment. Su Qiluo is the first person to make my heart flutter.”

"It's strange. Before, my heart was as cold as an iron tree, but this time, just hearing your name made me feel a little expectant. After meeting you, it felt like I fell in love at first sight."

"But I want to be honest with you, I only like and have a good impression of you. I want to try what it's like to be in a relationship. I'm sure I don't love you deeply."

"True love should be unreserved and without any secrets, but I don't want to tell you the secrets buried in my heart."

He listened to her ramble on, things he didn't really like to hear. It made him feel like he was a guinea pig, just trying to let her experience the feeling of being in love.

However, after carefully considering these words, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be the same way.

He had suffered hardships since childhood, and apart from Mu Qingyun, he had never been attracted to anyone else. Once he was attracted, he would always mention Mu Qingyun and announce it to Yi Beixuan in a high-profile manner.

He probably just likes it.

If you truly love someone deeply, you won't choose to be with them when you only have a few months left to live.

"To be honest, I feel the same way as you." Su Qiluo smiled, not wanting to hide anything, and spoke honestly to Mu Qingyun.

Surprised by Su Qiluo's frankness, Mu Qingyun chuckled softly in his ear: "You really are different from other men. Even if other men were like this, they would still use sweet words to complain about me and make a fuss with me."

"They say love at first sight is liking, but love that grows over time is true love. So, would you like to try that kind of love that grows over time with me?"

Su Qiluo glanced at Diewu, estimated the distance between her and Mu Qingyun, reached out and hugged Mu Qingyun, pulling her into his arms.

"Okay." Mu Qingyun nodded in agreement.

It's strange, she was getting more and more stuck in a dead end the moment she started thinking about it, but after chatting with Su Qiluo for a few minutes, she suddenly felt much better.

Is this... the allure of love?

Held in his arms, Mu Qingyun closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.

snort.

Kazel slowly opened his eyes. The light energy fluctuations beside him had disappeared, indicating that the two had already rested.

He rubbed his legs and frowned.

Although he learned of Mu Qingyun's location through rumors, he was actually quite far away from here, and the terrain was difficult to traverse.

Fortunately, Mu Qingyun and the others flew, and he also did his best to rush here. Luckily, they met before dawn.

He had no idea what the two were doing, so he remained still, afraid of disturbing their good time.

If they're in this situation, they'd better get through this quickly to avoid any unforeseen complications.

...

Night fell over the land, and it was time to travel again.

This time, Su Qiluo brought Kazel along, and Diewu brought Mu Qingyun along.

Mu Qingyun kept a close eye on the compass in her hand. As she passed a certain place, the compass suddenly began to tremble violently. Just as she flew past, the compass suddenly pointed in the opposite direction.

"Wait!"

She immediately called out to the others, "Go back, the compass is moving."

Upon hearing her words, everyone immediately became excited and followed her instructions to get to the ground.

Stepping into the ruins, Mu Qingyun watched as the compass moved erratically, but it never found a precise point, making it impossible to pinpoint the exact location.

"Ah, why don't we walk along this path and take a look?" Butterfly Dance folded her wings and took the lead in walking forward.

She deliberately chose to walk on relatively flat ground, but as she walked, she felt something was amiss.

The ground was flat, but too loose; it felt like I could fall in at any moment.

To be honest, sometimes a woman's intuition is really accurate.

The moment Butterfly Dance had that thought, the ground beneath her feet broke open, and she plummeted downwards.

"ah--"

A scream rang out, and Mu Qingyun, watching Diewu disappear in an instant, jumped down without thinking.

"Mu Qingyun!"

"Brother Mu!"

Seeing her jump, Kazel and Su Qiluo followed suit without hesitation.

Below was a large pot that could hold six people, and it contained some water.

One by one, the four people fell down with four "plop" sounds, like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather, and they all fell into the pot.

"Hmm, where am I? Why does this water smell so strange?" Butterfly Dance was soaking wet, and a strange smell emanating from her body reached her nose, causing her to frown involuntarily.

Cover your mouth and nose!

Kazel's voice suddenly came, and his expression changed drastically. There was no water in the pot at all; it was clearly just incense that had been thrown into the pot and boiled.

Mu Qingyun subconsciously held her breath, trying to jump out of the pot, but something seemed to be sticking to her, making it impossible for her to move.
