    Time flies, a few days have passed.

    In just a few days, the reconstruction work to exit the imperial capital has reached its final stage. The once dilapidated and ruins-like city of the imperial capital has been restored to its original form, and even now it is more luxurious than before.

    Because Li WuXin has regained new life, there is joy in the imperial capital.

    And Chen Mo has also gained a moment of tranquility during this period.

    The two elixirs brought back from Zhongzhou have all been absorbed and refined by him. His realm has finally reached the third grade, and is even rapidly improving.

    The ice dragon beast core obtained in the secret realm that day, as well as the remaining ice dragon corpse collected by Chu Ruomeng, were also fully utilized by him.

    Chen Mo's realm is increasingly refined, and at this time, Zhao Qingling and Mu Qiuge, who have been following Chen Mo and the others, have finally arrived in the imperial capital city.

    The two of them are not comparable to Xiao Douding, Zhao Hu, and the like in terms of realm, so their pace is naturally slower, which is why they only arrived today.

    In addition to the two of them, they also brought back the corpse of Miao FeiYu.

    Hearing the news that the two had returned, Chen Mo hurried out to greet them.

    Unexpectedly, on his way there, he ran into Su Qin, who had been waiting for Miao Feiyu's return.

    "Chen, Chen Gongzi, I heard that someone has returned, is it Xiao Yu? Is it Xiao Yu who has returned? Where is Xiao Yu?"

    Suki blinked her eyes and her eyes were full of expectation.

    Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he wanted to speak but then stopped himself, "No, your Xiao Yu hasn't completed the mission yet, how could he come back? You're overthinking it..."

    Chen Mo looked at the little bean stuntman following him, and quickly pulled her aside to one side.

    "Little bean stuntman, you must not let Su Qin know about Miao FeiYu's affairs. Just take care of her for a while. These days, you must accompany her well and don't let her think too much. I'll be busy..."

    "Relax, big brother. I brought Su Qin back, so it's my duty to take care of her."

    Little bean stuntman patted his chest, making a resolute promise.

    Now Su Qin's IQ is like a child, with not much thinking involved. It's still easy to look after her and take care of her.

    Saying that, Little Bean pulled the unyielding Su Qin away.

    At this opportunity, Chen Mo went to find Zhao Qingling and Mu Qiuge, who had hurriedly returned, and arranged for Miao FeiYu's burial in a mountain outside the imperial capital city.

    Miao FeiYu had nothing on him when he died, just a magic staff that Su Qin had given him before and a special dagger used for killing enemies.

    Chen Mo thought for a moment and decided not to bury the two items with Miao FeiYu. They were relics after all, and if one day he had to tell Su Qin the truth, these items should be entrusted to her care.

    The magic staff was inserted sideways next to the tombstone.

    The dagger was placed horizontally in front of the tomb.

    "Chen Mo, some things can be hidden for a while, but not forever. When do you want to tell Su Qin about this?"

    Mu Qiuge stood by Chen Mo's side, quietly watching the tombstone that had already been set up.

    "Delay it as much as possible."

    Chen Mo helplessly sighed, "Su Qin was subjected to inhumane torture in Tai Yan mountain. Despite this, she never thought of ending her life. It was because she had Miao FeiYu as a mental reliance. If she knew that Miao FeiYu had died, I'm afraid she couldn't bear the blow."

    "Now, she has become somewhat retarded, her mind is like a child, children have a big memory span. I told Little Bean to take good care of her. In a while, perhaps she can slowly forget the miss of Miao FeiYu."

    "Until that feeling has faded significantly, maybe it will be time."

    Chen Mo had promised Miao FeiYu before his death to take good care of Su Qin, so he naturally had to consider her in all aspects.

    Mu Qiuge did not say much after hearing that, if it were her, she might only be able to handle it like Chen Mo did.

    After dealing with Miao FeiYu's affairs, it was already late at night.

    Chen Mo went back to rest for the night, and the little bean stuntman rushed over early the next morning.

    "Big brother, something bad happened. Su Qin is missing."

    Little Bean looked anxious. Although she had sent her poison insects to search within a few miles, they had still not found Su Qin's whereabouts.

    Little Bean was panicked. Although she had been ordered by Chen Mo to take good care of Su Qin, she did not know how to explain the current situation.

    Thinking about it, she could only come to Chen Mo to report.

    Upon hearing this, Chen Mo immediately jumped out of bed, "What happened?"

    "I, I'm not clear either. Yesterday, she wanted to find Miao FeiYu, I tried to calm her down for a long time until midnight, and then she slept. I thought there should be nothing wrong, so I also slept with her. But when I woke up this morning, she was nowhere to be found."

    "How could that be? How could she suddenly disappear? Has the royal capital, the imperial capital, been searched?"

    "We've searched, my poison insects have searched, and even I told this to Liu WuXin, who is also helping to look for her. Now we are waiting for her message."

    After Little Bean finished speaking, Liu WuXin also came.

    "Xin"

    Chen Mo approached, "How is it? Have you found Su Qin?"

    Liu WuXin gently shook her head, "The vast imperial capital city has not found any trace of her."

    "How, how could this be"

    Chen Mo frowned slightly, his expression growing increasingly serious.

    "I also find this strange. Although the royal capital is vast, there are guards all around. Earlier, I had instructed them to take care of Su Qin, but no one saw her last night..."

    Liu WuXin frowned slightly, her brows and eyes carrying a hint of doubt.

    Little Bean hurriedly nodded in agreement, "Last night, although I was asleep, my poison insects were on alert at all times, but none of them could detect her whereabouts. It's as if she had vanished into thin air."

    "Vanished into thin air?"

    Chen Mo silently repeated these four characters, and suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, "Perhaps, I know where she is."

    Outside the imperial capital city, Miao FeiYu's tomb.

    Su Qin gently touched the newly erected tombstone with her hand, and her eyes were filled with a few tears, as if they were twinkling stars. However, the sorrow in her eyes could not be hidden.

    "A parting of over a dozen years, and I didn't expect that the next time we would meet, it would end up like this."

    "Xiao Yu, over these years, I've really missed you, and I really enjoyed the time we spent together. Thinking about the possibility of reuniting with you, even if I had to endure a lot of hardships, I still thought it was worth it."

    "Xiao Yu, do you know? I really miss you. I really want to be with you forever, just like you said."

    "Initially, when my father tried to stop us from being together, he said that we would never have a good outcome if we stayed together."

    "Never would I have thought that he was right."

    "But Xiao Yu, I'm not sorry. The time we spent together was the happiest time of my life. It was in the past, and it is now, and if there is a future, I believe it will be the same."

    Su Qin knelt in front of Miao FeiYu's tomb, weeping uncontrollably.

    Her eyes were red, and tears were falling one by one.

    "I know, I've always known that everything you did was for me. You left me for Miao State to seek the so-called Tian Fa and take revenge."

    "In fact, I'm fine, even if I suffered such painful tortures, as long as we can be together at the end, I don't care. As long as you are by my side."

    "I've never hated them. I only hate, I only hate myself for not realizing it until today. If I had realized it earlier, I wouldn't have let you return to Miao State."

    "Xiao Yu, you're still as foolish as before. You risked your life to seek revenge for me."

    Su Qin wiped away the tears on her disheveled face and said in a choking voice, "I suppose you didn't want to make me sad, so you asked Chen Gongzi not to tell me about your death, right?"

    "So, you want me to gradually forget you and live well?"

    "Chen Mo has done a good job. He has kept it hidden and hasn't let me know about your death."

    "But Xiao Yu, you had a symbiotic poison planted in you long ago. When you died, I knew it at that moment."

    "I know, you've always wanted me to live well. But Xiao Yu, how should I live in a world without you?"

    "Xiao Yu, do you think the world after death is like this? Will you feel lonely down there?"

    "You fool, without me watching over you, you might do something rash."

    Su Qin gently touched the dagger in front of the tomb, tears stopped, and her eyes were full of determination. She lifted her hand and grasped the dagger, placing it in front of her.

    "I'll keep you company on the road to hell. You won't be alone, Xiao Yu."

    "……"

    Chen Mo and the other two finally arrived at Miao FeiYu's tomb.

    They found her, but Su Qin now had no more breath. Blood was flowing from the wound, staining Miao FeiYu's tombstone red.

    Two pure white flowers grew up next to the tombstone, intertwined and relying on each other, just like Su Qin and Miao FeiYu.

    "Still too late."

    Chen Mo clenched his fists, sighed a sorrowful breath, "A loyal woman indeed..."

    Little Bean squatted down, gently lifting up Su Qin's body, "When I was young, I might have been able to bear it. But if my brother or you were like Miao FeiYu, perhaps I would have..."

    Halfway through, Little Bean recalled the scene of Chen Mo's death, and dare not look back.

    Liu WuXin clenched her fists with both hands, her eyes determined, "No, no, I will never let that happen again..."

    The blood at the wound of Su Qin had not yet clotted, and the blood slowly flowed to the root of the two unnamed flowers.

    The pure white flowers gradually turned into a blood red.

    Vivid and splendid.

    But at the next moment, the blood-red flowers began to wither, like the doomed couple heading to hell together...
