At the top of the Hongyan Pagoda, Mu Qiuyao carefully placed Shen Zhao's body on a stone platform.
Then she took a light breath and said with a smile, "Alright, kid, there are no outsiders here."
Stop pretending, get up and tell me what you're thinking, so I can cooperate with you.
However, Shen Zhao did not react at all.
Mu Qiuyao continued, "I knew you wouldn't die so easily."
You must have come up with some scheme again, right? Tell me quickly, and I'll definitely cooperate fully.
Just like when we were in the Western Regions, we'll advance and retreat together.
Shen Zhao remained lying there quietly, without the slightest reaction.
"Still pretending? You don't trust me, do you?"
Mu Qiuyao got up and walked to the windowsill, looking down at the entire Chang'an landscape.
"If you are really dead, then I'll tell you a secret."
Actually, ever since you left last time, I've felt a little strange.
At the time, I didn't know what that feeling was; I just felt a little empty and lonely.
I was actually quite happy when you sent Ji Bingyan from the Central Region to ask for my help.
Why? Because you asked me for help, of course!
Mu Qiuyao turned around and walked to Shen Zhao's side, smiling as she said, "But when I hear that you're with Song Yanran, my heart aches a little."
So I sent you my personal undergarments along with that letter. You must think I'm being indecent, right?
Haha, looking back, I still find it unbelievable that I would do something like that to you. How does that feel?
Shen Zhao remained lifeless, lying peacefully on the stone platform.
Seeing that Shen Zhao still did not react, Mu Qiuyao gently stroked his hair: "Boy, tell me, does this count as love?"
Only when I think of your face do I feel a secret melancholy, and also a sense of happiness.
There was also a tiny bit of shyness, a feeling I had never experienced before.
I want to ask you, do you have feelings for me? Get up and tell me right now, don't sleep anymore.
However, Shen Zhao still did not react.
Mu Qiuyao gripped Shen Zhao's hand tightly and pressed it against her face: "Kid, you still don't want to answer me? I've said so much to you, can't you give me some feedback?"
A tear slid down Mu Qiuyao's cheek and landed on Shen Zhao's cold hand.
Her emotions gradually intensified, and her voice began to tremble with tears: "Actually, that feeling is love, right?"
Kid, I actually have another very important secret in my heart, and that is that I really envy Su Yunying and Song Yanran.
Because they were all pure in their past lives, while I was so wretched, so impure.
When you and they were deeply in love and inseparable, I simply didn't have the courage to step in.
Because I know I'm not a clean person, I don't deserve to be like them, able to actively seek my own happiness.
But I really envy them. There's something I've been wanting to say for a long time.
From our journey to the Western Regions to your help in quelling the rebellion in the Northern Regions, I've already fallen for you.
This feeling came from the bottom of my heart, completely different from when I was forced to conform when I was branded with the mark of slavery in my previous life.
There was bitterness, jealousy, and sweetness; I really wasn't lying to you.
It's completely different between you and that beast Lin Feng. The only thing I'm afraid of is that you'll despise what happened to me in my past life.
Therefore, I didn't dare to approach you first; I could only watch you silently from behind your back.
I thought that if you were happy and content, I would gradually return to my own life.
However, I truly can't forget everything we went through!
Mu Qiuyao was already in tears, tightly holding Shen Zhao's hand, expressing all the feelings she had buried in her heart for so long.
"So, you won't care about my past, you're willing to forgive my shameful past, you're willing to accept me? Get up and tell me, Shen Zhao, tell me, Shen Zhao~"
Seeing that Shen Zhao remained motionless and lifeless, Mu Qiuyao could no longer bear it and burst into tears, lying on his body.
"Don't die, you can't die, how can you die? If you die, will you leave me all alone?"
"Shen Zhao, how could you be so cruel? I finally experienced what true love is, and you left without a word?"
"Get up, talk to me, tell me if you want me or not~"
"Shen Zhao~~"
Mu Qiuyao finally couldn't hold back anymore and grabbed Shen Zhao's clothes tightly. Her heartbroken cries echoed throughout the Hongyan Pagoda.
After a long while, once she was certain that Shen Zhao was dead, Mu Qiuyao got up, wiped away her tears, and gently stroked Shen Zhao's cheek.
He then took out a piece of white silk from his storage ring, tore off a section, and tied it around his head.
Then he took out a bottle of spiritual spring water, poured it on the remaining cloth, and gently wiped Shen Zhao's face.
At this moment, her expression was solemn, and the light in her eyes disappeared.
After wiping Shen Zhao's face, Mu Qiuyao suddenly transformed into the "Qiu Zhao" sword that Shen Zhao had forged for her.
Immediately, a burst of sword energy shot out, and the inscriptions on a stone tablet in the center were reduced to ashes and vanished.
Immediately afterwards, the sword flashed and carved two lines of text on the stone tablet:
The tomb of my deceased husband, Shen Zhao.
The tomb of my deceased wife, Mu Qiuyao.
"If we cannot be together in life, we can be buried together in death!"
"Even if you die, I won't live on alone, but before I accompany you to the underworld..."
Make sure the entire city of Chang'an remembers everything you've done for them; in this life and the next, they owe you.
If you don't ask for anything in return, then let me help you. My man cannot be wronged like this, absolutely not!
