After Hua Yue's dance ended, a middle-aged man in a brown robe walked onto the stage. His face was honest, but his eyes were shrewd. He looked in Mo Li's direction and spoke calmly:
"Now, please welcome our hero! Young Master Mo!"
As he spoke, he pointed at Mo Li, and immediately everyone's eyes fell on Mo Li.
"Is he the young master Mo who saved us?"
"He looks so elegant!"
"Look! That woman next to Young Master Mo!"
"Even though only half of her face was visible, the aura she exuded was simply like a fairy descending to earth!"
Countless praises rang out from the crowd, their eyes fixed on Mo Li and Hua Mulan with intense fervor.
Seeing the intense gazes of the crowd, Mulan became somewhat nervous. Although she commanded an army and countless soldiers had watched her closely, she was dressed in women's clothing today, which made her feel shy.
Mo Li, who was beside Hua Mulan, noticed her nervousness, smiled slightly, held Hua Mulan's hand tightly, and said, "Don't worry, I'm here."
Mo Li smiled and pulled Hua Mulan along, walking forward...
Stepping onto the stage and looking at the crowd, Mo Li suddenly noticed that the people of the city were kneeling down one by one.
This made Mo Li quite embarrassed, and Hua Mulan's mouth dropped open in surprise.
"Thank you, Young Master Mo, for saving my life!"
"Thank you, Young Master Mo, for saving my life!"
"Thank you, Young Master Mo, for saving my life!"
A voice like a tidal wave spoke, and Mo Li trembled all over. They were treating him like a god!
Suddenly, Mo Li subconsciously looked into the distance. It was the landscape behind the royal city. Even in the darkness, he could still see the aura of the mountain range, which stretched towards the royal city like spider silk! He had never imagined that the royal city would have the destiny to become the capital of the Central Plains! For a moment, he felt as if he had seen the blueprint for the world.
Looking at the majority of the people kneeling on the ground, the vast majority clearly had simple and kind faces, and honest, simple smiles—
They looked at him with delight and fervent worship, regarding him as a hero who would save the world!
But what merits did Mo Li possess? He wasn't a god, just a small fox demon who had taken human form but didn't yet possess much power...
Just then, Mo Li felt a powerful force of destiny growing within his body. Warm energy spread throughout his entire body, as if countless water valves had been opened, constantly flowing into his body with surging and boundless energy of heaven and earth!
Mo Li couldn't help but tremble slightly with excitement; this was faith!
It is the power of faith!
It is the most powerful faith technique in the Nine Dusts Technique for absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!
In an instant, the power within Mo Li surged, directly restoring his strength to 50%!
He was so excited he couldn't speak, so thrilled he forgot he was standing in the center of ten thousand people...
In the distance, looking at Mo Li on the stage with an excited expression, Mo Han had already figured something out and couldn't help but smile slightly.
Just then, Mo Chen's voice came from behind: "If you had made your move earlier, you would be the one standing up there now."
Mo Han smiled slightly, seemingly unconcerned about fame or fortune. He shook his head and said, "I can no longer resolutely walk that path. My heart has begun to fear the darkness..."
As he spoke, he looked up at the deeper sky and sighed helplessly, "I am no longer qualified to be someone else's faith!"
Mo Chen looked into his deep purple eyes, which seemed to be swallowed by darkness. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but was pulled back to reality by the sound of the flute on the stage.
That was a tune played by Mo Li, an impromptu piece!
Hua Mulan looked at Mo Li and, for some reason, felt an urge to dance along with his song; her body moved naturally.
Mo Li smiled slightly upon seeing this. The consciousness of the Flower Goddess's true soul was still imprinted on her body. They could be said to be somewhat one. The Flower Goddess's imprint meant that the bond between them would never be broken!
Therefore, she understood the meaning behind his song, and he understood the posture in her dance!
The melodious flute music and graceful dance moves made everyone truly enjoy a feast brought by celestial beings!
Just then, someone suddenly exclaimed, "Look! Fireflies!"
As everyone watched, the fireflies came toward Mulan, illuminating the entire stage for her. Not only that, but butterflies, which should have been sleeping in the night, also fluttered over. Countless fireflies and colorful butterflies surrounded the man in white and the girl in pink on the stage.
Fireflies pay homage, and ten thousand butterflies dance in unison!
"A divine skill! A divine skill indeed!" an old man exclaimed with ecstasy, disregarding his poor health, and knelt down shakily.
As he spoke, the people who hadn't knelt down before also knelt down one after another.
This will become an unforgettable memory for them, a source of pride that can be passed down as a legend for generations to come!
As the dawn broke and the light of day shone upon the earth, the crowd looked up, only to find that the immortal on the stage had vanished...
——
"Little fox, slow down!" Mo Li said hurriedly as he ran with Hua Mulan holding her hand. After a while, Hua Mulan got tired and hurriedly spoke up.
Mo Li stopped and raised her hand to remove Mulan's mask. Her delicate and lovely face was truly beautiful, with a shy blush on her cheeks.
"Mulan, you danced so beautifully just now!"
Mulan was a little puzzled. "I don't know why, but as soon as you played the flute, I really wanted to dance..."
Mo Li raised his hand and hugged her. "Such a beautiful dance can't be given to others to see. From now on, only I am allowed to watch it!"
Hua Mulan was exceptionally intelligent, so how could she not understand that Mo Li was confessing his feelings to her? However, she still rationally pushed Mo Li away, saying, "We can't indulge ourselves like this. We still have the responsibility to drive out the barbarians!"
Looking at Mulan's righteous expression, Mo Li felt a pang of heartache for her. "Mulan, you could go to the battlefield to fight when I wasn't around, but now that I'm by your side, you shouldn't go to the battlefield anymore..."
Upon hearing this, Mulan's expression changed. She looked at Mo Li with some displeasure and said in a sharp voice, "I joined the army in my father's place. I must carry on his will, otherwise all my past sacrifices will be for nothing! Besides... besides..."
Hua Mulan looked at Mo Li's slightly furrowed brows and wondered whether she should continue. So she gritted her teeth and said directly, "Mo Li, I don't think we can be together right now."
Mo Li's face stiffened slightly, and she asked nervously, "What do you mean? Mulan, what did you say?"
"Although we are in love now, it's not time for us to be in love yet," Mulan said firmly. "Until the barbarians withdraw from the Central Plains, I will still be General Mulan!"
Mo Li immediately understood that Hua Mulan was only thinking about fulfilling her father's great ambition and being loyal to the country; she had never thought about personal feelings!
But……
Mo Li looked at the love line connecting Hua Mulan's ring finger and his own hand, and he felt really unwilling!
Why do people who clearly love each other refuse to stay together?
Mo Li's face grew paler and paler, his chest feeling so heavy it seemed it might explode at any moment...
