The old man was very happy.

"What?!"

Su Bai's mood, which had just calmed down, was in turmoil again.

Little Mu Mu, is she going to die?

Su Bai quickly asked: "What's going on? Why did you say you were going to die?!"

"It's a long story, big brother, you should go and do your own things..."

"It's okay!"

Su Bai shook his head and said firmly: "Go ahead, I have time."

"Alas..."

Mu Mu sighed, walked to the pavilion in the garden, and sat on the stone platform.

Su Bai also followed and sat next to her.

Mu Mu turned his head and looked at Su Bai's profile.

Although half of it was covered by the mask, one could still see the pair of eyes that were as bright as stars and revealed a gentle and caring expression.

"What's wrong?" Su Bai asked when he saw that she didn't speak and was staring at him.

"It's okay..."

Mu Mu shook her head gently, her eyes like water, "Big brother, can you take off the mask?"

"...Okay."

Su Bai nodded and took off the half-face mask on his face.

His true face was revealed.

Of course, this was not the first time that Mu Mu had seen Su Bai's face.

But now, he still wanted to see Su Bai very much.

After watching quietly for a while, Mu Mu's lips curled up in satisfaction.

He lowered his head and stopped looking.

Gently and slowly, Mu Mu leaned her head on Su Bai's arm.

She was too petite to even lean on Su Bai's shoulder.

"..."

After hesitating for a while, Su Bai tentatively reached out his hand and held little Mu Mu's slender and thin shoulders.

Then he pulled Mu Mu, hugged her and let her lean on his chest.

Mu Mu: "..."

Her body was a little tense, and two blushes flew on her cheeks.

But she didn't say anything, nor did she resist.

"It's okay..."

Su Bai gently patted Mu Mu's shoulder and said softly: "Brother is here, brother will solve it for you."

This is how he used to comfort Xia Cha, he hoped to make little Mu Mu feel better.

"Hmm..."

Little Mu Mu hummed softly.

Nestled in Su Bai's arms, Mu Mu felt a burst of warmth in her heart.

After a brief thought and organizing his words, Mu Mu began to say:

"Back then, after the alien object fell, my great-grandmother and her sister, the ancestors of my clan, all underwent strange changes."

"For some reason, my great-grandmother has never died. But my ancestors, as well as I, have had their lifespans reduced year by year."

"One year shorter, after five generations, even if they are powerful, they will not live for more than a hundred years."

"And I am even more special, with an even shorter lifespan!"

"A huge amount of Yin Qi has gathered in my body!"

"The external manifestation is my eyes, which are dark black, without any white..."

"I guess ...I can still live for a month or so."

"The things that grandma asked you to collect are to prolong my life."

"But, those things are just a temporary solution for me."

"Taking those is very painful. My whole body feels like it's being stabbed by ice needles, as if they're freezing me."

"Even so, they can only slightly increase my lifespan for a short period of time."

"At the same time, because of those drugs, the yin energy accumulated in my body is increasing."

"After I die, these yin energy will probably explode. Turn an area into an eternal frozen prison."

...

Mu Mu spoke in a calm tone.

She explained her problem clearly.

Su Bai listened with a wave of shock.

I didn't expect that Mu Mu would only have one month to live.

I didn't expect that the smart, cute and cheerful little girl I first met would actually be under such great pressure.

She is just waiting for death to come...

It's so painful, she is so young!

She is at the age of joy and innocence, in her prime years.

But she has to wait for death every day and every hour.

But she is not depressed, not indignant.

Instead, she is still innocent, still smiles every day, and lives every moment well...

Su Bai felt pity and distress in his heart, and gently stroked Mu Mu's silver hair, wanting to make her feel comfortable and light.

"Brother's arms and big hands are so warm..."

Mu Mu squinted her eyes and rubbed Su Bai's chest with her little head comfortably.

This made Su Bai even more uncomfortable, and he asked distressedly: "Is there no way to solve it?"

"I don't know..."

In Su Bai's arms, Mu Mu

Gently shook her head, "Grandma has tried many ways and is still working hard."

"Now, removing the Yin Qi from the right half of the city may be the last way."

"Maybe if the Yin Qi here is removed, the Yin Qi in my body will also disappear, and I can bathe in the sun."

Su Bai frowned slightly.

This method is unreliable no matter how you look at it.

Mu Mu cannot touch the Yang Qi, at least not a lot, if the Yin Qi in this place is really removed.

What will happen if Mu Mu is exposed to the sun?

It's hard to say...

Alas.

It's really sad.

At first, I thought Mu Mu had some hidden tasks.

Now, Su Bai would rather Mu Mu had no tasks and was healthy.

"Brother, don't worry about me."

Mu Mu stretched out his fingers and tried to reach between Su Bai's eyebrows and touched Su Bai's eyebrows.

He gently stroked Su Bai's frowning brows, trying to smooth them out.

Mu Mu's little hand felt soft and boneless, and was icy cold.

As if there was a kind of power to calm the mind, Su Bai's frowning eyebrows gradually smoothed out.

"Don't worry, Mu Mu has been lucky since childhood, she won't die so easily."

Mu Mu opened her eyes like transparent crystals and looked at Su Bai, her eyes curved, "Besides, Mu Mu asked her brother to buy me a lollipop, grandma wouldn't let me eat it... um..."

As if she realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said, little Mu Mu stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.

"Hmm?"

Su Bai lowered his head and looked at her in confusion.

Little Mu Mu took back his hand guiltily and didn't look Su Bai in the eye.

"What's wrong? Why didn't the city lord let you eat it?" Su Bai couldn't help asking.

"Hmm..." Little Mu Mu's eyes slanted quietly, and whispered, "It's okay, she said it would cause tooth decay."

"Mu Mu?"

Su Bai didn't believe it, and asked with a heavier tone.

"Woo..."

Mu Mu whimpered, pinching the corner of her clothes with her fingertips, "Grandma said that eating things from the left half of the city is not good for me. But there is nothing I can do. Not many people here make lollipops, and the taste is not good."

"Why is it not good?"

After hesitating for a while, Mu Mu said, "The yang energy will conflict with the yin energy in my body. The two energies will be eroded in the fight..."

Su Bai's face tightened, and he asked hurriedly, "Will it be very uncomfortable? Will it have a great impact on your body?"

Before, he bought candy for Mu Mu!

"...It will be a little painful, a little uncomfortable..."

Su Bai fell silent.

Somewhat I don't know what to say.

Mu Mu wants to eat candy, which is fine, but her physique...

But Su Bai can't say anything to scold her, and he can't bear it!

Seeing Su Bai silent, Mu Mu became a little nervous, and timidly pulled the corner of Su Bai's clothes, "Brother, don't be angry, I won't eat it anymore..."
