The End Times as a Song

Chapter 363 Save her

Four years of Great Wilderness

Spring:

Night Spirit Cat Clan of the Demon Realm, Night Hong Palace

The mansion was brightly decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, but no guests came or went, creating a desolate and lonely atmosphere. Inside the Guiyan Pavilion, in front of the dressing table, sat an eight-year-old girl named Mu Qingqing, dressed in a bright red wedding gown and with delicate features.

Two maids bustled around Mu Qingqing, who looked dejected and listless. Mu Qingqing turned to Xiaoxiao, the maid who was helping her with her hair and makeup, and asked, "Sister Xiaoxiao, I'm hungry!"

Xiao Xiao looked at Mu Qingqing with trepidation and helplessness: "Your Highness, I'm sorry to have to put you through this, please bear with it a little longer!"

Linglin glanced at the pastries on the large red table, swallowed hard, and looked at Xiaoxiao with a puzzled yet pitiful expression: "Afraid of what? Sister Xiaoxiao...!"

Qingyan walked up to Linglin and helped Xiaoxiao out of the predicament: "It's nothing! Young Master Linglin, just bear with it a little longer. The makeup is done, and now we will put the phoenix crown on the young master."

Linglin pouted and pointed to the phoenix crown on her head, saying softly, "Sister Qingyan, can we not wear the phoenix crown? This thing is so uncomfortable...!"

"Young Master, this...! This is putting me in a difficult position...!"

Linglin glanced at Qingyan, her expression forlorn, and sighed, "Never mind, I won't make things difficult for you, Sister Qingyan, please don't mind...!"

Xiao Xiao noticed Ling Lin's worries and knelt down in front of him to comfort him: "Young Master Ling Lin, today is your big day, cheer up...!"

Linglin looked dejected: "What's there to be happy about? Starting today, I'll be leaving my mother and living on my own...!"

Qingyan gently brushed Linglin's hair aside and whispered, "Young Master...!"

Linglin forced a bitter smile, neither sad nor bitter, and looked at Qingyan: "No matter what, thank you for taking care of both of you during this time."

"Young Master, this is what we should do...! Now, Qingyan will help you put on the phoenix crown."

"Hmm...! Okay!"

Qingyan held the phoenix crown, while Xiaoxiao helped by handing her things and helping her put on the phoenix crown.

A little while later...!

A beautiful young woman, simply dressed and with a graceful figure, entered. She had fair skin and a pretty face, and her hair was simply styled with a hairpin. Qingyan and Xiaoxiao, upon seeing her, bowed and greeted her, "This servant greets Your Highness, Ling Shu…!"

Ling Shu said softly to Xiao Xiao, "Get up! Leave this to me, you all step back...! Let me stay with my daughter for a while, who knows when we'll see each other again after this."

After saying that, she took the green comb from Xiaoxiao's hand, glanced at Xiaoxiao, and Xiaoxiao tactfully replied, "Yes, Master Lingshu, this servant will take her leave now..."

Qingyan and Xiaoxiao bowed and turned to leave the room. Linglin, seeing Lingshu, beamed with joy and called out, "Mother, you've come…!"

Ling Shu forced a bitter smile onto her face: "Yes! Lin'er, Mother will comb your hair now...!"

Linglin grabbed Lingshu's hand that was holding the comb: "Mother...! Xiao...!"

Before Ling Lin could finish speaking, Ling Shu asked anxiously, "What's wrong...?"

Linglin thought for a moment, then shook his head and replied, "It's nothing, nothing's wrong...!"

She let out a breath and obediently turned around.

Ling Shu took a comb and slowly began to comb Ling Lin's hair.

To avoid worrying Ling Shu, Ling Lin nodded and replied with a single word: "Okay...!"

As she combed her hair from head to toe with a green comb, a wave of sorrow washed over her, and tears streamed down her face like broken pearls, wetting the tips of Linglin's hair.
