Little Peony suddenly felt lost about the future; the land beneath her feet was no longer peaceful.
"Mu Ge, what should we do? We've been abandoned." Little Peony cried, looking lost and confused.
Their eyes were filled with helplessness about the future.
"It's okay, don't cry again. You're such a crybaby. It's just that the world is closed off, it's not a big deal."
Li Muge comforted her.
She flew to the capital with Little Peony on her sword. By then, the capital had become a living hell.
Monsters called zombies have taken over the capital.
Inside the Regent's Palace, most people have undergone mutations, and only a few have survived.
When Li Muge and Xiao Shaoyao arrived.
Just then, they heard the sounds of beating coming from ahead, and Li Muge and Xiao Shaoyao exchanged a glance.
They followed the sound.
"The world has changed. Do you still think you're the same regent?"
"You're asking for it, you little bastard."
"Pah! What kind of regent is he? In the hearts of us commoners of the capital, he's nothing more than a disgusting child prostitute who seduced people when he was young."
Several guards surrounded Yun Qi, knocked him to the ground, and kicked him triumphantly every now and then.
The words "pedophile" struck a nerve with Yun Qi, and a surge of black energy appeared in his palm.
He was already thinking about how to torture these people who dared to humiliate him.
"What are you talking about?" Li Muge kicked the door open, her phoenix eyes narrowing slightly. "How dare you speak to the Regent like that?"
As Yun Qi's eyes caught sight of Li Muge, the killing move in his hand vanished instantly.
Several guards glanced furtively at the sword in Li Muge's hand, but then remembered that this Princess Muge was a well-known fool in the capital.
They all burst into ferocious laughter.
“Princess, you’ve come to protect your regent husband, but unfortunately he’s just a useless piece of trash now.”
These servants hadn't seen a woman in a long time.
The malevolent gaze swept over Li Muge and Xiao Shaoyao, scrutinizing them from head to toe.
One of the guards, who was in the lead, raised his hand to rub his chin and laughed in a disgusting way.
"Princess, how about this? You and your little maidservant, have some fun with us, and we'll be merciful and support that bastard Regent and you two beauties for free, how about that?"
"Let's play." Li Muge cast a slight spell, and they actually started fighting each other.
"I'm not playing with you guys anymore. If you want to play, you can have fun by yourselves."
Li Muge said coldly.
He walked past the group of people fighting amongst themselves, reached out to the regent, and extended his hand to him.
At this moment, the regent lay in the dark mud, disheveled and utterly wretched, his eyes devoid of any light.
Li Muge felt a sharp pain in her heart. The Regent was the first person in her life who had ever been kind to her, even though he never seemed to have a good attitude towards her.
But when she was injured, he stood up for her.
They will also support her in cultivating immortality.
She's completely different from everyone else.
“Regent, I’ll take you away.” Li Muge repeated.
"Really? You won't regret it?" Yun Qi's dark eyes were deep, and his words sent chills down one's spine.
Even the little peony felt fear and retreated slightly.
Seeing that the Regent was hesitating and not reaching out, Li Muge directly took the Regent's hand and said, "Yun Qi, I will not regret it. Saving you was the best decision I ever made in my life."
"Okay." A glint appeared in Yun Qi's eyes.
The room seemed dark, with a sliver of sunlight shining in from the corner of a broken window.
But now there is a very serious problem.
This sword can't even support three people!
"Little peony, transform quickly." Li Muge made a decisive choice.
"Oh, he values romance over friendship," Little Peony muttered before transforming into a bracelet and wearing it on Li Mu's wrist.
"Regent, hold me tight, don't fall." Li Muge stood on the Qingming Sword.
If he were to fall from that height, the Regent, being only human, would certainly be beyond saving.
Sensing that Yun Qi behind her was quite reserved, Li Muge casually grabbed the Regent and told him to hold her tight so he wouldn't fall flat on his face.
A strange feeling arose in Yun Qi's heart, but his eyes remained unreadable.
Li Muge didn't know.
After they left, the room where those people were was immediately devoured by zombies.
Several people were devoured by zombies in fear.
In order to survive in the apocalypse.
Even mortals without magical powers gradually began to change.
They gave birth to supernatural abilities.
This world, abandoned by the immortal realm, is divided into three classes: ordinary people without magical powers.
These people are the lowest in status in the end times.
One type is those with superpowers.
They have mutated or possess various types of supernatural abilities, which are also the abilities that fate has bestowed upon them for survival.
The third type is the cultivators who didn't have time to board the celestial ship.
They remained in the human world.
Naturally, one must also find a way to survive.
As a result, the devastated world began to rebuild various cities.
Just as Li Muge was wondering where to go...
The regent standing behind him suddenly spoke up: "Let's go to Yanshan. It's deserted there, so there will naturally be fewer zombies."
"Okay, show me the way." Li Muge focused on controlling his sword.
Yun Qi felt the warmth emanating from Li Muge, and a feeling he couldn't quite describe welled up inside him.
This was the first time in his sordid life that someone had been so steadfast and protective of him, and that person was his wife in name only.
The Yanshan Mountains are indeed desolate and uninhabited.
Not only because of its remote location, but also because of the legend that the mountain is haunted.
Anyone who sets foot here will be devoured by the evil spirits of Yanshan.
In short, everyone who enters Yanshan is destined to die a terrible death.
Li Muge curled his lip. In any case, given the situation in Fenglin Continent, he would probably die a horrible death no matter where he went.
Going into the mountains might offer a brief respite and a chance to survive.
Little Peony returned to human form, nestled beside Li Muge, and stepped into Yanshan.
"Mu Ge, I feel so scared here. Could there really be evil spirits?"
Little Peony's teeth were chattering.
Li Muge said helplessly, "Big sister, you are a monster yourself, what are you afraid of evil spirits for?"
“That’s right, I am a monster.” Little Peony puffed out her chest, but her courage was shattered before it even lasted a second.
"But this place is really scary."
Li Muge: "..."
If Little Peony, a demon, is this scared, then the Regent, an ordinary human, must be even more terrified.
Li Muge turned around and glanced at the Regent.
His expression was calm.
However, Li Muge automatically constructed an image of the Regent's inner thoughts in his mind: he was clearly very scared, but he still pretended to be strong.
"Regent, don't be afraid, I will protect you."
"Protect me." Yun Qi's lips curled slightly.
"good."
After Li Muge turned around, his eyes were gloomy, which was something Li Muge himself had said.
If you change your mind.
A wisp of black energy surged in Yun Qi's hand.
No.
He wouldn't give Li Muge a chance to back out.
He had already given Li Muge a chance to be free, but she didn't cherish it and insisted on going against the grain.
