No...
Although she already knew the answer, Mo Shisheng still couldn't help but want to get an answer from Ming Beiya. There was always a sliver of hope, but the moment Ming Beiya spoke, that sliver of hope vanished.
Mo Shisheng lowered her eyes slightly, nestled gently in Ming Beiya's arms, and buried her face in his chest. "Sleep."
"good."
Ming Beiya was naturally overjoyed and held Mo Shisheng in his arms as if she were a precious treasure. He wasn't sleepy at all, but perhaps because Mo Shisheng was by his side, he felt a little drowsy.

The cold winter should be leaving soon, and the trees along the roadside are sprouting tender green buds.
Li Ji sat by the lake, her hands gently resting on her abdomen, her face showing an unresolved sorrow.
After she sighed again, she looked up and saw a familiar figure. At first glance, she thought she was seeing things, but when she looked again, she found that the figure was still on the other side of the lake.
A look of joy appeared on Li Ji's face, "Shi Sheng!"
The lakeside was very empty, carrying Li Ji's voice far away with an echo.
Mo Shisheng had just come out for a walk and was about to go back when she heard Li Ji's voice. She raised an eyebrow and looked in the direction the voice came from, and sure enough, she saw Li Ji standing there.
Seeing that Mo Shisheng had noticed her, Li Ji was even happier and waved her hand vigorously at her, "Here! Shisheng, come here for a second!"
"..."
Seeing Li Ji's mentally challenged appearance, Mo Shisheng really wanted to pretend she didn't know her. However, it was rare to run into an acquaintance in the Demon Realm, and Mo Shisheng was secretly quite happy.
When she reached Li Ji, she noticed that Li Ji had cautiously stood up. "Shi Sheng, what brings you to the Demon Realm?"
Mo Shisheng didn't answer, but instead frowned slightly as she watched Li Ji get up, seemingly afraid of bumping into something. "What's wrong with your body?"
"Huh? Nothing's wrong."
Upon hearing this, Li Ji was taken aback for a moment before quickly replying.
Such a flustered explanation would be unbelievable to anyone.
However, Mo Shisheng didn't press further. If Li Ji didn't want to answer, then she didn't want to, so why should she keep pressing her?
"Why not sit on the rocks when there are chairs over there? It's much more comfortable there."
Mo Shisheng glanced lazily at Li Ji, probably knowing that she was acting very cautiously, so he reached out a hand to support Li Ji's arm.
Li Ji was surprised that Mo Shisheng would support her, and she was stunned for a moment before following Mo Shisheng into the pavilion and sitting at the stone table.
"I've come here to find Ming Beiya."
Mo Shisheng gently raised her eyes to look at Li Ji, "You didn't know he and Ming Qiancheng are brothers?"
Are you His Highness?
Upon hearing Mo Shisheng's words, Li Ji suddenly remembered that Mo Shisheng had been rescued by His Highness when he was in the underground royal city.
Now that she heard Mo Shisheng's name, she realized that Ming Beiya was the prince's name, and that he was Mo Shisheng's beloved.
However, Li Ji has never met Ming Beiya, not even after coming to the Demon Realm.
"Um."
Mo Shisheng nodded slightly. "Did Ming Qiancheng bring you to the Demon Realm as well when he left the Underground Royal City?"
"Um."
Li Ji nodded, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Mo Shisheng's arm. "Shisheng, aren't you afraid? This is the Demon Realm."
"..."
Mo Shisheng's gaze gently fell on Li Ji, a hint of confusion in his eyes, as if he didn't understand why Li Ji would ask this question.
