Seeing this, Heisong gritted his teeth and said, "General Hua, I'll tell that leader right now that you're already engaged!"
Hua Mulan shook her head. "It's no use. If you tell the truth, that's fine, but if you lie, it's the crime of deceiving the emperor! It will only implicate you..."
Hua Mulan turned to look at everyone and said, "Forget it, you all go back first. I'll stay here in the palace by myself."
Wang Jian sighed, unsure of what to do. "Then, I shall take my leave."
The people behind him all said goodbye.
Hei Song glanced at Hua Mulan and said in a low voice, "General Hua, I know your relationship with Boss Mo, and I understand your feelings. I, Hei Song, don't consider myself a good person, but I... I'm willing to share General Hua's burdens. If... if you're willing to acknowledge me and follow me, Hei Song, I'd rather be his enemy than not..."
"Black Pine!" Mulan interrupted Black Pine. His dark, honest face now bore a resemblance to Mo Li. Mulan smiled slightly, shook her head, and said, "What I need is freedom, someone who loves me, and someone I love."
"But since he died, I've realized that the freedom I craved, the future I looked forward to, and the opportunity I thought I could seize to change my fate—all of it was just an illusion, just my wishful thinking!"
"Mo Li, he gave me hope. I really have a feeling that as long as he is here, I... he will give me whatever I want, even if it's the world, even if the world is broken and incomplete, he will give me a complete world and protect me for the rest of my life!"
Hua Mulan pursed her lips, a tear falling. "But he's dead. He died before my eyes, taking my hope, my future, my heart—"
“He took everything away from me, leaving me with nothing. Tell me… what am I supposed to do?” Mulan said in anguish.
Hei Song thought he could save Mulan, but he never expected...
Her heart had died along with Mo Li's...
Hei Song sighed and said helplessly, "General Hua, I was being rude. Ah, I wish you happiness!"
With that, Heisong turned and left.
Mulan looked at the retreating figure of the black pine tree, gave a bitter smile, and collapsed to the ground with her legs giving way. "Happiness? Without him... what happiness do I deserve?!"
"Mo Li! You are so heartless! You in the underworld, do you even know that the woman you love is being forced to marry someone else?"
Hua Mulan quietly looked at the spear in her hand, the image of Mo Li flashing through her mind, along with the scenes of their encounter and getting to know each other along the way—
When the wind rises, I meet you, your tightly closed eyes gently tinged with a smile...
I see you amidst the rising smoke of war, a slight, arrogant smirk playing on your lips...
I love your radiant smile and your gentle, watery eyes...
Although I always say I don't care, I don't know when my heart was filled with you...
The world is so big, but you alone hold up my sky and my earth!
Hua Mulan smiled slightly, tears falling onto the sharp blade of the spear. "Mo Li, I finally understand why, even though I hurt your body and your heart, you can always smile and tell me that you still love me?"
"So...so you always knew...that I loved you..." Mulan hugged her spear and suddenly burst into tears. "Only after losing you did I understand how heartache feels, how painful, how suffocating!"
"Mo Li, I'm sorry, I... I really don't want to be separated from you, so... so..." Hua Mulan gripped her spear tightly, her gaze suddenly turning cold and unwavering.
Mulan smiled slightly and said, "Forgive me for my final selfishness. Please let me accompany you to see the scenery on the road to the underworld!"
Hua Mulan stood up with a smile, holding her spear and pointing the tip at her chest. "Mo Li, wait for me! I'm coming—"
The spear pierced Mulan's chest, the pain overwhelming her senses. Tears streamed down her face again, but then she suddenly smiled, "Mo Li, you fool, it hurts so much... why are you still smiling..."
Mulan lay on the ground, her long black hair scattered everywhere, her stunningly beautiful face deathly pale, a faint smile on her lips, tragically beautiful and resolute!
Her body gradually grew cold, her consciousness gradually faded, she felt very light, and finally she knew nothing more—
Gu Yan looked at his hands, his fingernails still bearing traces of blood—the blood of Mo Li, so vivid and glaring.
In the dark cave, two people were tied up in a corner.
"Damn it, the battle is over, why won't they release us!" Mu Qing said angrily.
Hei Yan sighed and said helplessly, "Of course we are still useful, otherwise they wouldn't have kept us here."
Mu Qing was even more furious: "What did I do to offend him?"
Hei Yan chuckled. "Hehe, little sister, remember this: don't talk about conditions or reasons with strong people!"
Mu Qing pouted, "If my master were here, I wouldn't have fallen into his hands! I really don't know where my master is!"
(I've already died and returned to the safe zone—the Netherworld!)
"Your master? Heh, Mo Han?" Gu Yan smiled as he walked up to Mu Qing. "He's dead!"
Mu Qing was stunned. Before she could react, Gu Yan had already arrived in front of her and said with a smile, "Not only him, but even the person you love died at my hands!"
Mu Qing looked puzzled. "Me, the person I love?"
Gu Yan chuckled, "The Barbarian King was your husband in your past life. After the battle, I sent Habi to assassinate him. And Gu Liyan, the one you loved so much and my little apprentice, also died by my own hand!"
"What? What did you say?"
