Chapter 370 Did you do it?
Ling Shu squatted down in front of Mu Qingqing, gently stroked Mu Qingqing's tender little face, and said to Mu Qingqing with a lonely expression, "Qingqing, be good! Come with your mother, your mother will take you home."
"Mother! Are you alright?" Mu Qingqing looked at Ling Shu with concern and tenderness, wiping away the tears from the corners of Ling Shu's eyes. "Mother, I'm alright! Let's go back first, Father will catch up with us!"
"Qingqing...! Father may not be able to come back for the time being!" Ling Shu suppressed his grief and faced reality.
Mu Yu was a human, while Ling Shu was a demon. Humans and demons have different lifespans, so Mu Yu and Ling Shu's love wouldn't last. Ling Shu knew this from the moment she decided to be with Mu Yu. However, after they became a family of three, she never expected that Mu Yu's lifespan would be so short. Their daughter, Mu Qingqing, was only eight years old when Mu Yu couldn't hold on any longer and passed away prematurely.
Back then, Ling Shu refused to marry Bai Cheng of the Bai family of the wolf clan and fled to the human world. There, she met Mu Yu, a nobleman of the human race, fell in love, and hid in the human world, disappearing from the spirit cat clan. She lived a carefree and happy life for eight years, and the three of them lived happily for eight years.
Until two days ago, Mu Yu fell seriously ill and vomited blood. Before falling into a coma, he left a will, wanting to return to the Mu family mansion to visit his elderly mother, Mu Wanyan. Ling Shu used magic to save Mu Yu's life. After finally returning to the Mu family mansion, Mu Wanyan saw her beloved son tortured beyond recognition and immediately vented all her anger on Ling Shu and Mu Qingqing. She even drove Ling Shu and Mu Qingqing out of the Mu family mansion in a very disheveled state.
Ling Shu, holding Mu Qingqing's hand, glanced back at the Mu residence. Mu Qingqing shook Ling Shu's hand and looked at her: "Mother, let's go! Don't worry, Father is only temporarily away! It's not forever!"
"Yes! Qingqing is right!" Ling Shu replied to Mu Qingqing indifferently, her eyes still looking back with reluctance. She was still worried about Mu Yu, but at the moment, she also had to take care of young Mu Qingqing. She was really overwhelmed. She thought of finding a place to settle Mu Qingqing first, and then secretly coming to see Mu Yu.
Just as Ling Shu was leading Mu Qingqing away, she noticed that someone was following her. She knew very well that when she used her magic to heal Mu Yu, she had already been discovered by the Spirit Cat Clan, and the people following her now were from the Spirit Cat Clan. So she led Mu Qingqing toward the desolate mountains and wilderness.
Mu Qingqing looked at Ling Shu suspiciously and asked, "Mother! It's getting dark, are we staying here tonight?"
Ling Shu sensed that Mu Qingqing was trembling. This was the first time Mu Qingqing had ever slept on the streets, so it was understandable that she was afraid. However, Ling Shu didn't know when the Spirit Cat Clan would make a move against him. Fearing that innocent people would be implicated, Ling Shu didn't dare to stay at an inn and could only take Qingqing to the desolate wilderness.
Ling Shu squatted down and explained to Mu Qingqing, "Qingqing, don't be afraid! We'll make do for the night! We'll sleep here! Your mother is here, so you don't need to be afraid."
Mu Qingqing hugged Ling Shu's neck and patted her back: "Mother, it's alright! Qingqing isn't afraid! Mother can endure hardship! So can Qingqing!"
"Mother, you rest here for a while, Qingqing will go and gather some firewood!"
"Qingqing! Let Mother go!"
"Mother, don't worry! Qingqing has grown up! This is nothing to Qingqing!"
Mu Qingqing turned and left.
Ling Shu watched Mu Qingqing's departing figure, then glanced coldly behind her and said, "You've followed me for so long, now you can come out!"
