The boy's eyes surged with flames of anger and a reckless determination...
Mu Ruyue's heart ached.
The once cheerful and sunny boy seemed to have vanished, replaced by someone filled with the power of hatred...
Mu Ruyue couldn't bear it any longer and pulled Mu Haotian into her embrace.
In that moment, Mu Haotian's body stiffened, and he gently closed his eyes...
This embrace was so warm, reminding him of how she would hold him when he couldn't sleep at night because of fear...
As if, as long as she was there, no matter the time, he would feel at peace.
"Sister Xiao, you know so much about these things, you must have been close to my sister. Especially since you carry her scent... Over these years, without my sister by my side and Grandpa bedridden, I am truly exhausted, but I must hold on. This is the Mu Family that my sister risked her life to protect. How can I let it disappear? No matter how painful, I will persevere... So that my sister can rest easy in the netherworld."
