The cold water rushed in from all directions, but instead of squeezing her and suffocating her, it pulled her up from the deep bottom of the water.

"Wow!"

Jumping out of the water, what you see is sparkling waves and misty fog.

The full moon, which was thousands of times larger than usual, seemed to be pulled in from the distant sky, hanging above the swamp, staring at her silently.

She is dead.

The tide rises and the moon sets. The Red Kite people do not enter reincarnation after death, but only enter the Mother Lake.

Now, her soul appeared in the Mother Lake.

Mu Qing stared blankly at the full moon in the sky. The friendship that she had finally replenished after spending a hundred years of her life surged in the depths of her soul, like waves hitting black rocks in the water, drowning her reason again and again.

This was the first time in her life that she truly and clearly experienced what friendship was.

It was not the false appearance she created when she was still alive, imitating human appearance.

"Zhu Zhu..."

A sob escaped from the back of her throat.

Mu Qing raised her hands to cover her face and burst into tears.

The pain of separation from her best friend and never seeing them again was like a thousand cuts, tearing her soul apart.

At this moment, Mu Qing finally understood why she always wanted to stay by Mo Zhizhu's side when she was alive, and why she was so persistent in surviving in the world even if she had to face numerous difficulties and dangers. What was the reason?

She was fascinated by Mo Zhizhu's charm.

Have a yearning in your heart and pursue beauty.

Being friends with Mo Zhizhu was the happiest time in her life.

Mo Zhizhu has a somewhat similar personality to her, so he can understand her wild imagination in everything she says and does, and accompany her on her sudden impulses.

Even if I have no interest in her, I am willing to play with her and tolerate everything about her.

It is a great blessing in life to have such a close friend.

But Muqing's fate was flawed, she was born without the existence of "friendship".

Together with Mo Zhizhu, she was simply being herself.

When she was alive, she didn't know that her imitation of human kindness was actually extremely clumsy and full of flaws.

If Ruo Mo Zhizhu coughed, she would send him medicine to treat cough, cold and throat moisturizer.

If Mo Zhizhu suddenly sighed, she would immediately drag Mo Zhizhu to travel around and even act ugly to make him happy.

If Mo Zhizhu was thirsty or hungry, she would considerately prepare nectar water, wine, and various delicacies.

It seemed that she could take out countless things that others needed from her spatial magic weapon. She was considerate and caring to everyone, taking care of them in every possible way.

However, Mo Zhizhu coughed simply to clear his throat and did not need Mu Qing to prepare those medicines.

Mo Zhizhu sighed, worried that she didn't have enough time. She wanted to devote more energy to cultivation and didn't need Mu Qing to take her traveling.

When Mo Zhizhu was thirsty or hungry, he could go to the cafeteria by himself. He did not need his friends to be his maids and treat him like a baby with no ability to live.

Mu Qing gave Mo Zhizhu everything she could, but she never thought about what Mo Zhizhu really wanted.

She has no concept of this.

Mu Qing has no idea what friends are or how to get along with them.

But she happened to become friends with Mo Zhizhu and won his true love.

Her feet were drowned in the swamp, and the coldness spread to every inch of her soul, forcing her to wake up and think about one thing.

What kind of mood did Mo Zhizhu have as he watched her clumsily perform friendship and intimacy, saw through the hypocritical lies beneath her gentleness, and finally kept her by his side?

she does not know.

Even though he made up for the friendship that was lacking in his destiny, Mu Qing still didn't understand what Mo Zhizhu was thinking.

She only knew one thing—

I have let down Mo Zhizhu.

She exchanged Mo Zhizhu's true heart for his hypocritical and clumsy lies.

In the past, she didn’t know the weight of sincerity. Mu Qing felt that she had given a lot to Mo Zhizhu.

In the end, she died for Mo Zhizhu and others. As a friend, she was very dedicated and responsible, wasn't she?

It is only right that I should use this opportunity to exchange Mo Zhizhu's true heart.

No one owes anyone anything.

But now, when she had the same feelings as Mo Zhizhu, Mu Qing felt only regret and guilt.

As a friend, didn't Mo Zhizhu risk his life for her and give everything for her?

Over the years, she had often been in danger and had luckily survived, most of which were related to Mo Zhizhu.

It was because Mo Zhizhu stayed by her side all the time that she was able to survive time and time again.

What can she use to repay Mo Zhizhu's true love?

She only betrayed this true heart!

After crying, Mu Qing couldn't help but laughed miserably: "Zhi Zhu, I was wrong..."

It turns out that hypocrisy is like this...

Hurt others and hurt yourself.

Mu Qing closed her eyes.

She raised her hand and placed it over her heart.

"Hold Zhu."

"May you in the future..."

"Sincerity only rewards sincerity."

A red light appeared on Mu Qing's fingertips, and a myriad of shining threads emerged from her heart.

At the same time, the memories of Mo Zhizhu and her life in her mind were peeled off bit by bit and pulled out of her body.

The silk threads intertwined together and turned into a round bead overflowing with colorful light, which was held in Mu Qing's hand.

Mu Qing looked at the round bead with sudden enlightenment.

She doesn't remember anything anymore.

The tide rises and the moon sinks. The instinct of the Red Kite tribe tells her—

This is her memory before she died.

When the tide rises and the moon sets, the Red Kite Clan does not enter the cycle of reincarnation, but only enters the Mother Pond.

As long as they want, they can leave behind the memories of their past lives and reincarnate.

But they hardly ever do such a thing.

The huge memory mixed with a huge amount of information can, to a certain extent, help them avoid most of the detours in their practice.

But this is not without side effects.

These memories also include everything they said and did in their previous lives, every person they came into contact with, and everything they experienced.

And the "self" in these memories is a more "incomplete" version of themselves than they are now with certain emotions completed.

When they look back on these memories, they will have doubts and contradictions because they have completed their emotions and cannot understand their once incomplete selves, the words they said, and the things they did.

Is this unreasonable guy in my memory really myself?

Once the sense of strangeness arises, a sense of division will follow.

Once upon a time, there were many red kites who were attached to the people and things in their previous lives and were reincarnated with their memories.

In the end, because of this "inability to understand" and "inability to empathize", the self in this life diverges from the memories of the previous life.

The tearing feeling drove them crazy, and eventually they developed inner demons and died miserably.

These tragic histories were engraved into the instincts of the Red Kite Clan, warning them—

Don't reincarnate with memories of your past lives.

Throw them into the Mother Pond.

"Pfft."

Mu Qing withdrew his thoughts and casually threw the glittering round bead into the bottomless Mother Lake at his feet. The bead sank into the lightless water and finally disappeared.

She had no more worries in her heart.

As if sensing that she was prepared, the water level in the swamp continued to rise like a rising tide, swallowing her up little by little.

The huge full moon in the sky was gradually approaching the swamp below.

When the tide completely engulfed Mu Qing, the full moon also sank into the swamp, and the two merged into one, the world turned upside down, and life and death changed -

“Hmm…”

The cries of young birds can be heard in the Red Kite Clan’s mother pond where the tide rises and the moon sets.

The red kites summoned by the Mother Lake came to the edge of the lake and saw a wet baby bird being carried to the shore by the waves.

The high priestess stepped forward and held up the young bird. She stared at the bird in her hands with her cloudy eyes and said slowly, "May Mother Ze bless you, the little male bird, to grow up healthily. According to custom, I will give you a name on behalf of Mother Ze—"

"Mu Sheng."
