Li Mu froze, staring at his wife in a daze, not knowing what to say.

"Hubby, the Li family needs an heir, the future Lin family needs an heir, and even the Shen family needs an heir, I've thought about it, accepting reality and accepting them."

"No nonsense, we'll cure the disease, we'll have a child, don't you think nonsense."

Li Mu held Lin Wan in his arms as the couple embraced each other.

"Wife, don't worry, it'll be cured, no matter what the cost, I'll cure you, and we'll definitely have children, lots of them!"

Lin Wan wrapped her arms tightly around her husband and buried her head in his arms, crying silently and painfully.

Both had red eyes when they returned to the cabin.

The crowd looked at them in amazement, wondering what they had all been through and why they looked so sad.

"Brother Mu!" Shen Xingyue called out.

Li Mu waved his hand and said to everyone, "Don't be embarrassed, all of you, the Bone Knife has already been sent away by me."

Sent away, the crowd looked at him in surprise, not understanding what the word sent away meant.

"Where did you take it, son?"

"The bottom of the sea!"

What?

Several Shen family elders stood up unanimously and looked at him with complicated expressions.

The latter bowed deeply at everyone.

"Elders, I was reckless in this matter, but for the sake of Star Moon's safety, I can only do this."

"Good!" The Slabbed Taoist exclaimed, "Instead of constantly being tempted by it, it's better to get rid of it once and for all, when it's broken, it's bound to suffer, Brother Mu did the right thing!"

"Yeah, my son did the right thing, whatever hidden secrets there are, risking Yue Ni's safety just isn't worth it, good send!" Third Auntie immediately agreed.

The other few old men had regrets, but the wood had been turned, so they could only accept the facts with a bitter smile and didn't say anything.

"Brother Mu!" Shen Xingyue looked at him with affection, tears flashing inside her eyes.

Lin Wan said sourly, "Your wooden brother can't afford to take risks with your safety, he's heartbroken for you, do you feel beautiful in your heart?"

Shen Xingyue smiled sweetly, red-faced, and lowered her head.

An interlude ended there.

With the sinking of the Bone Knife, Hidden Secrets thus fell silent in the depths of the sea.

Perhaps after years of erosion, it will dissolve in time forever.

Late night, dark bodies of water.

The bone knife was suspended in the seawater, with a faint glow emanating from its circumference.

Suddenly, it began to rise towards the surface, gaining speed until it disappeared.

......

An uninvited guest has appeared on the cruise ship Kunan.

It was a small beast, fox-bodied and white-tailed, with a bow tied around its head, walking on the deck in a dignified manner.

Strangely enough, even when it passed in front of the eyes of the patrolling officers, those martial artists were unaware of it and regarded it as if it was invisible.

The little beast found its way directly to Mr. and Mrs. Li Mu's cabin and knocked politely on the door a few times.

Li Mu opened the door with sleepy eyes, and then, with a look of horror, looked at it.

Ignoring him, the little beast went around him and straight into the cabin.

"Who is it?" Lin Niangniang got up from the bed and saw the little beast at a glance, and couldn't help but eek out.

The little beast jumped onto the bed and put on a cute face.

Immediately softened, the Lady of the Forest reached out and picked it up, asking her husband, "It's, it's..."

"Its name is Hope!"

"It's Hope, it's so cute!"

Hope purred softly twice and wagged her tail vigorously towards the Lin Niangiang.

Lin Wan was overjoyed and pleaded with Li Mu, "Hubby, give it to me, will you, please!"

"How dare you ask for something of unknown origin?"

"We can ask if we don't know where they're from. Hope is so good, she'll tell the truth, right?"

As Lin Wan said the last sentence, her eyes looked at Hope while the latter nodded her head vigorously.

Lin Niangniang was overjoyed and asked cheerfully, "Little Yuan is so good, will you follow me in the future, can I be your master?"

Hope nodded vigorously twice and woofed twice more, looking like she agreed.

......

In a cloud of wakefulness, the two Li and Shen family members in charge were gathered together again, and the people were considered to be tossed by Little Brother Li, their gazes were all a bit dull, and they looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Li Mu let out Lin Wan behind him and gestured for everyone to see for themselves.

Ahhhh a shriek!

Shen Xingyue hid behind her third aunt.

The several old men of the Shen family instantly surrounded her in the center, looking at Lin Wan with a wary expression.

They looked nervous and ready to strike at any moment.

Of course, the target that made them look like enemies was not the Lin Niangniang, but the little beast behind her.

Hope hid behind Lin Wan as if she was also frightened.

It didn't dare to show its head and peeked out from between the Lin Niangiang's legs.

Lin Wan picked it up and said cheerfully, "Little guy, what are you afraid of, they are all good people and won't hurt you."

Hope burrowed into her arms and closed her eyes, not daring to look.

The third aunt trembled and asked, "Who is it, daughter-in-law?"

"It is Hope!" Lin Wan introduced.

The Shen family members' complexion became even more tense, and they couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"What's wrong with you guys?" Lin Wan asked in surprise.

With that, she laughed out loud.

"Did you guys think it was Shen Fontaine?"

"Could it not be?" The Slabbed Taoist said coldly.

"Of course not, Hope is Hope, and Shen Fangting is dead!"

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, and the third aunt asked uneasily, "Daughter-in-law, this matter cannot be joked about, are you telling the truth?"

"A thousand times over, husband, you explain."

Li Mu knew that everyone had misunderstood, thinking that inside Hope's body, Shen Fangting's soul was still sealed.

That's not good. It has to be explained right away.

Otherwise, there was no chance that the Shen family would do something radical.

He was clear about the Shen family's feelings towards Yue Ni, in their eyes, the old ancestor's legacy was far less important than Yue Ni's life, and for the sake of the latter, everything could be sacrificed.

They had done this before, and they could certainly do it again for Moonie.

Li Mu hurriedly recounted the whole story, including his own analysis.

Finally, he tells everyone that he can be sure that it's Hope standing in front of them, and there's no mistaking that familiarity.

Shen's family members all breathed a sigh of relief.

In their minds, Li Mu's prestige was high, and they were willing to trust Mu's words.

Since Brother Mu made a pledge, it proves that Hope is not Shen Fangting.

Then, this little beast was a pet and had nothing to do with that mysterious old ancestor.

Shen Xingyue finally dared to show her face, curiously looking at Xiao Yuan, who was also sizing her up, her expression filled with confusion.

Second Grandpa laughed, "Yue Ni, Xiao Yuan must be guessing your identity, you suspect it is Shen Fang Ting, I guess it is also suspecting you are Shen Fang Ting."

"Second Uncle, this joke is not funny at all!" Miss Shen said with some unhappiness.

Another wave to Hope.

"You come here!"

Hope shivered in fear and zipped back into Lin Wan's arms.

Lin Wan carried it out and placed it on the ground, smiling, "Go on, let her take a good look at you, don't be afraid!"

Xiao Yuan crouched and sat on the ground, not daring to move, Lin Wan pushed it again, and only then did Xiao Yuan get up and slowly walked towards Shen Xingyue.

It was only a few meters between them, and surprisingly, it made it feel like it was out of a million miles.

Finally rubbing up against Miss Shen's side, its body had long since shivered into a ball, and its head was about to droop to the ground, as if it was very afraid of Shen Xingyue.

Third Auntie laughed, "Yue Ni, it did take you for Shen Fang Ting, look at it, it's completely terrified."

Shen Xingyue crouched down and reached out to touch Hope.

The latter rushed to the ground and shrank into a ball.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not her, my name is Shen Xingyue, and you're Hope, aren't you!"

Hope raised her head and pointed at Shen Xingyue's mouth with her small paw.

The latter did not read the action and looked at it quizzically.

Hope pointed to her mouth again.

Lin Wan explained from the side, "Sister Xing Yue, you and Shen Fang Ting look alike, but you are two people after all, it is impossible for you to speak with the same voice, Xiaoyuan wants you to say a few more words, its good to judge if you are Shen Fang Ting or not?"

"Oh, so that's how it is, well then I'll say a few more words, my name is Shen Xing Yue, I'm Brother Mu's best friend, nice to meet you."

Hope stood up suddenly, two little paws by her ears, revealing her white belly.

What is the meaning of this, Miss Shen is not sure, did not dare to act rashly.

Hope breathed a huge sigh of relief, it looked like it already knew that this woman was not Shen Fangting.

It began to circle around Shen Xingyue, circle after circle, for more than ten circles.

From time to time, it was still sniffing around her body.

Suddenly, its expression became arrogant, squatting down opposite Shen Xingyue and woofing at her.

Along with that, a small paw gestured as if to reprimand her.

After barking furiously for a while, Hope stopped paying attention to Miss Shen and went back with her chest out.

The crowd didn't know what was going on, you looked at me and I looked at you, none of them were sure what it had just said.

Shen Zixing whispered, "Sister Xingyue, I think, it seems like it's scolding you!"

Shen Meier chimed in, "Yes, I think so too."

In fact, it wasn't just the two sisters who thought so, everyone did.

This little thing stunk up Shen Xingyue and didn't know how the latter had offended it.

"Brother Mu, it scolded me!" Miss Shen said aggressively.

Li Mu thought it was funny and said to Hope, "It's not like they've offended you, why are you cursing them, the evil your old master did has nothing to do with her, you can't take it out on her."

Hope shook her head and woofed and woofed again.

Liamu seemed to see it.

Xiao Yuan sniffed out the death aura from Shen Xingyue's body and guessed that she had increased her life expectancy against the heavens, and it couldn't stand to see this kind of behavior, thus, it stigmatized the other party.

It is inevitable that everyone will feel embarrassed once this result is stated.

Reeki chooses to play dumb and explains Hope's behavior as revenge.

According to him, Shen Xing Yue and Shen Fang Ting looked too much alike, and Hope didn't like the latter, and even said that there was too much resentment built up.

When it was certain that Shen Xingyue did not pose a threat, it became bold.

So, making a mistake, he used Miss Shen as a punching bag, and vented his anger painfully.
