Li Muge composed herself and rearranged the memorials on the desk.
Just then, a subordinate rushed in to report that a young man named Chang Yan had arrived outside and specifically asked for her.
Li Muge paused in his hand, picking up the memorials. How could Chang Yan have come to this place, from the ancient timeline to the present Phoenix Continent? How did he manage to find his way here after so much time had passed?
"Sigh." Li Muge looked up and pressed her temples, not knowing how to face Chang Yan, not knowing how to face the boy who was so sincere to her. It could be said that from the moment she made her choice, she never thought that she would be able to see Chang Yan in this time and space.
"Let him in." Li Muge stood up. No matter how difficult it was, she still had to face the situation.
This is also why she felt guilty towards Changyan.
Falling in love with Changyan was not her wish, but Changyan's sincerity towards her was genuine; she had truly loved Changyan even when she had amnesia.
When making her choice, Li Muge made a hypothetical scenario for herself: if she hadn't lost her memory, even if she hadn't fallen in love with Yun Qi...
The answer is no, given how much blood has been spilled on her person.
Li Muge knew exactly what she was thinking. She sat on the high seat, and a man in a dark blue robe came into her view.
Chang Yan's white hair was loose. He looked up and met Li Muge's eyes. He saw panic and guilt in Li Muge's eyes, but no more affection.
"Li Muge, I've come today wanting an explanation?" Chang Yan said calmly.
"Chang Yan..." As Li Muge looked at Chang Yan carefully, she suddenly realized that the Chang Yan standing in front of her might also have traveled from ancient times.
She was sent here by Shakyamuni. It's unlikely that Shakyamuni would send Changyan here.
Li Muge fell into deep thought.
A moment later, she stepped down from her high position and told Yun Qi everything about her past: "Chang Yan, I know I will always owe you an apology, but I can't deceive you, and I can't deceive myself."
Chang Yan's affectionate eyes held a hint of sorrow: "So you chose Yun Qi, but Li Muge, was everything we had just been a lie? I really can't accept that we were once so deeply in love."
"But after regaining your memories, you were so eager to go find Yun Qi that you didn't even want to give me a goodbye or an explanation." Chang Yan's tears finally fell.
Li Muge sighed deeply: "Changyan, I know I've wronged you, but if there's anything I can do to make it up to you besides feelings, I definitely will..."
Before she could finish speaking, Chang Yan interrupted her with a cold laugh: "Li Muge, what will you use to compensate me? Don't I have money, status, and power before? I gave all of these up for you before."
Chang Yan suddenly hugged Li Muge, his voice like that of an abandoned little animal: "Muge, I've given up everything. From beginning to end, all I've ever asked for is you."
“I…” Li Muge once thought she was calm and decisive enough, but when she saw Chang Yan again, her words of refusal stuck in her throat.
Yun Qi, dressed in white, appeared at the palace gate and accidentally knocked his cane to the ground.
When Li Muge turned around and saw that it was Yun Qi, she immediately pushed Chang Yan away without hesitation.
Yun Qi's face was gloomy: "I'm so sorry, Your Majesty, it seems I've ruined things." Yun Qi stumbled away.
“I…” Li Muge ran to Yun Qi without hesitation: “Demon Lord, wait for me, I could have explained.”
"Mu Ge..." Chang Yan's call did not receive a response from Li Mu Ge. She didn't even turn her head. Chang Yan could feel that Li Mu Ge's heart and eyes were only on Yun Qi.
"Yun Qi." Li Muge chased after Yun Qi, panting heavily. Actually, there was nothing between her and Chang Yan, but for some reason, Li Muge didn't feel guilty about being seen by Yun Qi. She was just afraid that this awkward man would misunderstand.
Even if she and Changyan had something going on that led to this situation, Yun Qi wouldn't blame her; wasn't all of this a result of his own indulgence?
If he hadn't erased Li Muge's memories, how could Muge have fallen in love with Changyan? He could only blame himself for all of this.
Hearing Yun Qi's self-blame, Li Muge became even more anxious. She used her magic to catch up with Yun Qi and grabbed her wrist, saying, "Yun Qi, you did nothing wrong."
Yun Qi paused, seemingly wondering how Li Muge knew what she was thinking.
Li Muge pursed her lips, tiptoed, and threw herself into Yun Qi's arms: "Yun Qi, you did nothing wrong, I know that. You did it for my own good, but Yun Qi, do you know? I, Li Muge, have lived for so long that I have long since come to terms with life and death."
"
"A mortal's life is only a hundred years. I am already lucky to have lived for tens of thousands of years. If I am to die tomorrow, I hope we can stay together today. Yunqi, you always say you are selfish."
"But actually, I'm the most selfish one." Li Muge hugged Yun Qi tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks. Her whispered words were like a lover's murmur.
“Yun Qi, through countless reincarnations, I am no longer the Shakya who loves Ye Luo who cares for all living beings. I am just a selfish coward who is afraid of losing my lover.”
"So Yunqi, if fate is destined to kill me, I hope that in my last moments I can die with you."
"Without you, the people of the Three Realms have no meaning to me. If we cannot live together, then let Yun Qi die with me."
Li Muge's voice was filled with obsession and madness. When Yun Qi heard Li Muge tell him to die with her, he suddenly felt enlightened.
"Okay, Muge." Yun Qi hugged Li Muge's back: "No matter what happens in the future, I will face it with you."
