After changing Li Ji into the new clothes, the fiery red color only made her face look even paler and bloodless.
Mo Shisheng's gaze was deep as he looked away from the basin of bloody water. His heart felt incredibly heavy, as if a huge stone was pressing down on it, making it hard to breathe.
She carried Liji away to the underground royal city, the place where Liji first met her, and now it became Liji's final resting place.
Mo Shisheng never expected that despite her efforts and Li Ji's perseverance, they still couldn't make it through.
Li Ji risked her life to protect the health and safety of the child she had saved, but she lost her own life in the process.
Mo Shisheng placed Li Ji's body in an ice coffin. The transparent coffin allowed people to clearly see Li Ji's eyelashes, each one distinct.
Suddenly, Mo Shisheng had a strange feeling that Li Ji was still alive, or that she was just sleeping.
Turning her gaze away, Mo Shisheng saw Jiang Ge and Jiang Yao both looking somber as they went out, but they managed to hide their sadness by holding the little dumpling.
Mo Shisheng reached out and took the little dumpling, saying softly, "Go say goodbye to Li Ji, we should go."
"Miss, Li Ji, she..."
"She's asleep, so please take good care of the baby until she wakes up."
Mo Shisheng smiled slightly, holding the little dumpling in one arm and using the other to gently pat Jiang Yao's head. "Go say goodbye, and keep your laughter down."
"good……"
Jiang Yao nodded, choking back tears, and turned to go inside with Jiang Ge.
Mo Shisheng specially placed Li Ji's ice coffin in the place where she lived before her death. This place held too many memories for her, including her relationship with Ming Qiancheng, which originated from this place.
After Jiang Ge and Jiang Yao went inside, Mo Shisheng put the little dumpling on the ground and said with a slightly cold look, "Stand still."
"..."
The little dumpling was a bit confused when he was suddenly put on the ground. Before he could recover, he heard Mo Shisheng's cold words. He was so frightened that he quickly turned into the size of a three-year-old and stood in front of Mo Shisheng, his two little hands nervously clenching.
"Now that you've been born, I will ensure your safety and well-being. But little dumpling, you must remember your mother. Her name is Li Ji."
Mo Shisheng slowly squatted down, gently placing one hand on the top of the little dumpling's head. "It's not your fault that you were breech in Li Ji's belly, but why can't you ease her pain? Little dumpling, you are the one who lost your mother at birth. She gave her life to bring you into this world."
"..."
The little dumpling seemed to understand Mo Shisheng's words, his round little face showing a blank expression, making him seem very lonely and pitiful.
The sadness was amplified in the quiet atmosphere, and tears welled up in the little girl's bright black eyes.
His little face scrunched up, and he reached out his tiny hand to gently grasp the hem of Mo Shisheng's clothes, "Mother..."
"Remember, Liji is your mother. She gave her life to bring you into this world, understand?"
Mo Shisheng sighed, reached out and hugged the little dumpling into her arms, "I'll send you back to your father's side. From now on, you'll be responsible for growing up healthy and strong, staying by your father's side, and taking care of him in place of your mother."
"Can……"
“There are no buts. You are a descendant of the Demon Realm, and you must return to the Demon Realm. I believe you can understand everything. You are not an ordinary person; you can understand everything I say.”
Mo Shisheng knew that the little dumpling's intelligence was at least that of a human ten years old.
