At the same time, within the garden where Mu Yao was in.
A clear and bright voice of a baby boy called out, “Mommy.”
Mu Yao turned to look at the boy sitting right in front of her, giggling with his big grape-like eyes wide open. He looked so adorable!
Mu Yao gulped. Her mind went blank when she saw this.
‘This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!’
No matter how calm and intelligent Mu Yao was, this was an unprecedented shock.
“You…”
Mu Yao swallowed and asked nervously, “What did you call me, kid?”
The little boy was stunned, then he tilted his head and said, “Mommy.”
A smile instantly appeared on his dazed face.
In the blink of an eye, the little boy had grown small front teeth.
Mu Yao’s shocked face was reflected in his big, dark eyes. However, the boy’s smile was so healing that Mu Yao felt her heart melt.
The next second, the girl on her lap opened her eyes and rubbed herself against Mu Yao’s belly.
Mu Yao was on the verge of breaking down.
‘This is too therapeutic!’
Holding her breath, she mustered her courage and stood up. With a plop, the little girl rolled to Mu Yao’s feet.
Mu Yao didn’t dare to look at the little girl, fearing that she wouldn’t bear to leave the children.
The pain in her body had lessened significantly.
Then, she closed her eyes, allowing her other senses to instantly become sharper. Mu Yao’s ears twitched and she sniffed around.
At that moment, other than some small animals moving in the grass and the rustling sound of the wind blowing across the grass, there were no other smells or sounds of movement.
Mu Yao suddenly opened her eyes and sighed softly. “Fortunately, they didn’t catch up.”
After ensuring the safety of the surrounding area, Mu Yao looked at the two babies subconsciously and felt conflicted.
She clearly understood what she had to do after leaving the cave. This was also the deepest regret of her past life. She wanted to kill everyone who had tried to kill her in one fell swoop. That would be the perfect ending to her tragic death.
Her death was closely related to her own family. Even now, she could still feel the intense pain she had felt right before her death. It was as if she had been betrayed and abandoned by everyone. In just one day, everyone who had loved her had simply watched her die in front of them. In fact, the person who had reported her was her beloved father!
Even though Mu Yao knew very well that her father wasn’t her biological father, the feelings between people couldn’t be fabricated. Eighteen years of kinship had turned out to mean nothing to him!
Because Mu Yao had all these weighing on her mind, she had left the cave to ask her family for an explanation. But what would they say? Of course, Mu Yao knew that nothing would come out of it, but she had to do it.
However, who would have thought that she would encounter the soldiers of Tianlong on her way out? It was then she found out that her death had to do with the defeat of the Tianlong soldiers.
On the surface, the citizens of Tianlong thought that Mu Yao was the Emperor’s child, and a demon who deserved to die. Only a few people knew that Mu Yao’s death was just a farce.
Her death was merely an absurd reason that the Heavenly God made up in order to obtain spiritual powers for cultivation. He had even plotted to kill the millions of soldiers under the Tianlong Emperor.
Because of her existence, the soldiers had died tragically. Because she had been labeled as a demoness who would bring calamity to the country. Anything bad that happened in Tianlong was because of her responsibility because she was still alive.
How absurd!
In the end, Mu Yao was just a scapegoat so that the people in power could answer to the commoners.
Before she died, the citizens had blindly followed the majority without any suspicions. No one had even thought of proving her innocence. However, she didn’t hate them.
She knew that even if these citizens rebelled, it would be of no use. They were just like her in her previous life. They were lambs that were at the mercy of others, not even knowing when they would die.
The ones she hated the most were the masterminds—the sorcerer, the priest, Tianxiang, and that terrifying Blood Pupil they called the Heavenly God! There was even her father, Xia Guoyong whom she did not want to acknowledge. They were all Mu Yao’s enemies!
After learning some of the truth, Mu Yao even thought about dying. When the soldiers attacked her in the mystical realm, causing her to collapse, she couldn’t help but think, ‘It’s so tiring to live. Why did I have to reincarnate?’
However, a dream stirred up her desire to live once again.
She had been in so much pain in her previous lifetime! She had been too weak and silly. Since she was lucky enough to be reincarnated, she would definitely not live like she did in her previous life, being an obedient lamb waiting to die.
Since she wanted to live, she had to be the one who slayed the lamb instead!
In this life, she had to rely on herself. She would no longer beg others as easily as she did in her previous life. What she had to do was become the enemy of her enemies!
That dream had strengthened her resolve.
Even now, Mu Yao was grateful that she had come to her senses. If she died again, she wouldn’t have found out that there were people who really cared about her in this lifetime.
Besides, the group of black shadow soldiers, who only had their souls left, had even offered their lives up for her…
Mu Yao’s eyes welled up at that thought.
Because of that, she had another purpose for coming out of the cave. She had to prove the innocence of the millions of soldiers who were killed by the Blood Pupil. She wanted to give Tianlong’s ignorant citizens a future!
But now that she had escaped the cave, this had happened!
If it had merely been a treasured sword, a manual, or treasure, Mu Yao was sure that she wouldn’t hesitate as much.
After all, her obstacle was alive and kicking. Besides, it wasn’t just one person, but two!
“Mommy.”
“Mommy!” Seeing that Mu Yao was ignoring them, the two babies started yelling.
Mu Yao felt like she was going to break down. She would be dragged down if she brought those two with her. This weakness would prevent her from taking revenge.
Besides, she’d never even done this in her previous life!
Raising a child? She’d been no more than a teenager, yet she needed to be a mother now? That was ridiculous!
