The Blood Spirit Fruit was the first spirit tree that Mu Qing planted in his space, and now it has grown up and is bearing fruit, with dozens of fruits.
After finishing the fruit, Tao Wuqing relaxed even more, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Mu Qing and asked, "Are you a member of our ancestor's clan?"
Mu Qing nodded indifferently, thinking to herself, "The child in front of me has a trace of the Wood Clan bloodline, so let's just say that's acceptable."
"Perhaps I really am a member of the Wood Clan," the thought flashed through Mu Qing's mind, but disappeared before she could grasp it.
Tao Wuqing reached out and wiped away the powder from between her eyebrows, revealing the red mole mark there. She explained calmly, "My ancestor was Tao Yao, who came to the dynasty several hundred years ago."
"When our ancestor came here, he had lost his memory. He only vaguely remembered that his name was Tao Yao, but he couldn't remember anything else."
"After arriving, I met Sima Huan, who was then a young emperor. Then, I followed Sima Huan in his campaigns to conquer the south and north, and we unified the seven kingdoms."
"Later, Sima Huan made his ancestor the queen."
"When our ancestor learned that Sima Huan was being urged by the officials and was worried about the matter of becoming the crown prince, he took a piece of peach branch from his own body and watered it with his blood every day to help him take human form."
"After transforming into human form, Tao Zhi was made crown prince by Sima Huan."
"Later, after my ancestor went out with Sima Huan, he never returned."
"The crown prince, who was formed from his essence and blood, was our great-great-great-grandfather. He acted as regent and married and had children at the request of the officials."
"Due to insufficient vitality, it withered and died before the age of thirty, and its body turned into a withered peach branch after death."
"After that, there was turmoil in the previous dynasty, and a change of dynasty occurred. Our ancestors went into hiding."
Now, I'm all alone.
At this point, Tao Wuqing's mood became somewhat low.
Gu Jixuan, who was standing to the side, reached out and patted his shoulder, offering silent comfort.
Mu Qing looked at the red birthmark between his eyebrows and asked, "You...you are the legendary Shuang'er?"
Upon hearing this, Tao Wuqing shook her head, indignantly saying, "I...I'm not like that."
"These are all just rumors. Because our ancestor was from the Wood Clan, a branch gave birth to our great-great-great-grandmother... so people spread the rumor that our ancestor was bisexual, able to marry and have children..."
"We have a trace of blood from our great-great-great-grandfather. Some of us have a red mark between our eyebrows. Not everyone has it; only a very few have ever had it."
"Actually, it's because the bloodline of our ancestors is extremely thin, so it can't form a peach blossom mark and only forms a small, incomplete red dot."
Tao Wuqing explained somewhat hastily, "We are just like ordinary men and cannot have children. It's all a misconception from the outside world, which is why I've always covered my forehead with makeup."
At this point, he excitedly clenched his little fist.
Gu Jixuan, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but curl her lips into a slight smile.
Upon hearing this, Mu Qing suddenly understood.
It turns out that in the original owner's memories, the so-called identity of Shuang'er was just a misunderstanding from beginning to end.
Mu Qing recalled how she had worried about whether she was a twin, and couldn't help but feel both amused and exasperated.
Immediately, feeling pleased, he chuckled softly.
Seeing everyone looking at him with confusion, Mu Qing stopped smiling and waved his hand at them, saying, "I'm sorry, I just remembered something else."
He thought to himself, "Don't ask me why I'm laughing. Anyway, I'm not going to tell you how worried I was about being a twin."
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion: "When falsehood is taken for truth, even truth becomes falsehood; truth and falsehood are intertwined, making it difficult to distinguish..."
