Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

In the end, Mu An only tapped Mu Ling'er on the head.

He is not Xiao He, and he would never chase after Mu Ling'er to beat her up.

He used to be able to easily understand Mu Ling'er's thoughts.

Amidst the falling petals, the two set up a copper pot and spent a peaceful night.

The bright moon shines, and the Milky Way is dazzling.

Just like countless nights under the starry sky, the two of them sat in front of a copper pot, cooking their favorite dishes.

Mu Ling'er spoke, and Mu An listened.

It includes the events that have happened over the years, as well as Mu Ling'er's ever-changing thoughts.

Tonight, Mu Ling'er didn't hide anything. Instead, like a little girl, she told Mu An about her complicated thoughts over the years.

Even though her goal was very clear from the beginning, Mu Ling'er's thoughts still wavered during this long process.

After all, Mu An's current situation is such that there is no one to refer to, and Mu Ling'er has no idea how to help Mu An.

From their last trip together, from the moment Mu An completely treated her like a child, Mu Ling'er knew that things could no longer be delayed.

It was at that time that Mu Ling'er chose to take a gamble and embark on this long "treasure hunt".

From the moment the "game" began, Mu Ling'er knew that what she was doing was hardly wise, but she also knew that if Mu An stayed in the Mu Manor and it was just the two of them together, he would only get closer and closer to the Great Dao itself.

Perhaps this is not a bad thing for the world as a whole, but from Mu Ling'er's perspective, she cannot accept such an outcome no matter what.

At that time, Mu An didn't need Mu Ling'er by her side, but rather she needed to communicate with more people and rediscover the feeling of being human in the process.

To achieve this, she cannot be near Mu An.

This point has already been proven by Mu Ling'er during her more than ten years of traveling around the world.

As long as she is by Mu An's side, Mu An will never be able to communicate properly with others.

Left with no other choice, Mu Ling'er made her own decision.

She ran away from home to play a seemingly silly "game" with Mu'an.

Through this game, by forcing Mu An to interact with others, Mu An is allowed to rediscover the feeling of being a human being.

……

It took seventy years from the beginning when they were completely unable to communicate to the later when they showed a little bit of humanity and were able to communicate with others.

In the Tianqi Domain, where the average lifespan is less than forty years, seventy years is far too long.

Along the way, Mu An's changes were too small and his progress too slow, so slow that Mu Ling'er had no confidence at all. She could only adjust and try again and again after hitting a wall.

Unlike any other time, this time, Mu Ling'er had no one to rely on and could only grope her way through the fog alone.

Even now, Mu Ling'er still doesn't know how to restore Mu An's humanity.

The reason she chose to appear at this time was more because she felt that Mu An should be able to listen to her properly now, instead of looking at her like she was a child at the beginning of this "game".

As long as we can communicate effectively, things will take a turn for the better.

Fortunately, this time, Mu Ling'er made the right bet.

Tonight, Mu An seemed to have returned to her original self, listening attentively to every word she said.

Even though she knew in her heart that it was still a long, long way from what she truly wanted, Mu Ling'er was still overjoyed tonight.

Things need to be done step by step, and a good start is encouraging in itself.

……

The blooming peach blossoms on Peach Mountain astonished the entire Qing'an Prefecture.

For true powerhouses, the life force enveloping Mount Peach is the most dazzling signal.

The great True Lord returned to his Qishan Road.

……

After much deliberation, Mu Yong, sitting on the dragon throne, finally gave up the idea of ​​visiting the Mu residence.

He didn't know much about Mu An, but he knew Mu Ling'er.

As Mu Ling'er's nominal adopted son, Mu Yong felt that Mu Ling'er was probably not satisfied with what he had done over the years.

In Mu Yong's view now, Mu Ling'er is more of an idealist than a qualified ruler.

……

Inside the Spirit Beast Garden, Qingxi sat on a blue stone atop the mountain, drinking wine while admiring the sunset.

As the peach blossoms bloomed across the mountains, Qingxi raised her wine jug from afar.

"come on!"

……

Deep in the riverside, within the magnificent Dragon Palace, Ao Yun slowly opened her eyes as she slept.

"The boss is back?"

After glancing in the direction of Peach Mountain, Ao Yun closed her eyes again.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep..."

……

Behind the Five Elements Sect, Fang Wuxiang emerged from his meditation room and bowed respectfully towards Peach Mountain.

The order to be cautious in speech and action was immediately relayed to every disciple of the Five Elements Sect.

……

Countless ordinary people in Qing'an Prefecture didn't think too much about it; they were simply amazed by the spectacular sight of peach blossoms blooming in autumn.

As word spread, the news of the blooming peach blossoms quickly spread throughout Qing'an Prefecture, and countless tourists flocked to Peach Mountain to admire this rare spectacle.

……

Unbeknownst to anyone, neither Mu An nor Mu Ling'er, the main protagonists of the incident, stayed long in Qing'an Prefecture.

Without alerting anyone, the two stayed at the Mu residence for half a day before leaving the familiar mansion.

After that day, there was one more elder in Sui'an Academy who was always smiling.

Although they didn't know each other very well, Mu Ling'er quickly became familiar with the other students in the academy thanks to Bai Ling's status as her teacher.

Fang Qing and Yun Wan both liked this new teacher with his gentle tone.

Only Bai Ling and Li Yin had some reservations about this.

Because Li Yin took such good care of her, Bai Ling had gradually become accustomed to a life where everything was done for her.

Mu Ling'er's arrival made Bai Ling much more diligent. She no longer spent all day hunched over her desk, nor could she do whatever she wanted all day.

There wasn't any complicated reason; it was simply because doing so would get me a knock on the head from Mu Ling'er.

Although it didn't hurt, Bai Ling said she didn't want to be hit.

How could she possibly be allowed to be hit on the head in front of her students when she is now the "majestic" Master Bai?

Bai Ling complained to Mu Ling'er more than once, but Mu Ling'er laughed and pinched her round face together.

As for Li Yin, she actually quite liked Mu Ling'er as her teacher, because Mu Ling'er would often teach her some useful knowledge in her spare time, and also teach her how to deal with Mu An.

As a teacher, Li Yin felt that Mu Ling'er was impeccable and much more reliable than Bai Ling.

The only thing that made Li Yin dissatisfied was...

She had finally managed to get Bai Ling used to her dependence on her, and her plan to abduct Bai Ling and "defy her superior" had just made considerable progress when Mu Ling'er's arrival shattered everything.

……

March, the 82nd year of the Five Kingdoms.

On a peaceful afternoon, Mu Ling'er walked into Mu An's study and extended her hand in front of him.

"What's wrong?"

"Lend me Liuyun, I need to go on a long trip."

"Is there anything you want to do?"

Mu Ling'er smiled and nodded, responding in a gentle tone.

"Slay a few demon lords, kill some scum, and clean up this world."

Mu An stood up, raised his hand to summon Liu Yun, and asked as he handed Liu Yun to Mu Ling'er.

"I'll go with you."

Their eyes met again, and in front of Mu An, Mu Ling'er smiled and shook her head.

"I hope you can rediscover your humanity, but I don't want you to keep compromising because of me."

The voice, which had been tinged with laughter, paused for a moment, and Mu Ling'er's smile softened.

"My wish is to seek a future for all living beings, not yours, Da'an, just as you told me a long time ago."

"We are not responsible to anyone except our own conscience."
