Accompanied by the happy twittering of birds, the next daybreak arrived.
With a scream of surprise, the woman in white came back from her coma.
She sat bolt up, her impeccable face quite tense and alarmed. Regaining her constant vigilance at once, she looked all around. But when she got a clear view of the surroundings, her expression became startled.
"Where am I?" She wondered.
She then remembered the thing that happened last night and still felt weak for the lack of internal qi and blood.
The place she lay was a flat rock covered by a thin layer of dry grass, which looked like a hastily prepared bed. And there were no fetters or shackles at the place as she had imagined. What surprised her more was that she discovered the toxicant inside her had been cleaned. And judging by the refreshing environment, she was not in a dungeon confining prisoners.
"You are up?"
A familiar voice flutter
"Ah, why leave in such a hurry?" Li Mu protested without thinking, "Don't you need to take a bath after getting up? I say, this lake is quite clean and the environment is very picturesque..." Abashed and speechless, the woman in white clapped her hand on her forehand. "Little monk, you... want to watch me take a bath?" She suddenly leaned close to Li Mu, her face only an inch away from Li Mu's. Her eyes firmly bore into his, as if she was going to see through his pupils to exam his soul. A bit taken aback, Li Mu drew back in haste. He then put on a politely sheepish smile and said, "Er, don't take me wrong. I'm just making a fairly necessary suggestion under a specific circumstance." "Humph, lustful monk," the woman in white teased and said with another giggle, "you haven't completely gotten rid of mundane desires. I figure you master will bring you back and cut off your lower part and give you detentions soon or later."
If he chose to turn a blind eye to such an outrageous deed, what was the point of him learning martial arts anyway? If he failed to save these two poor people, wouldn't his ambition of saving Earth be a big joke? Thus, Li Mu marched over towards the crowd. But just before he could open his mouth to speak, something beyond his expectation happened. Six high-spirited young men made a way out of the throng of onlookers and darted forward. They quickly pulled Granny Cai over from those aggressive soldiers and stood in front of her like a line of shields. With their sudden move, Li Mu was in no hurry to step forward. He decided to have some patience and see what those young men wanted first. "Who, who are you? How dare you confront the Defending Warriors? Huh? What are you doing? Huh? You want to defy authority?" roared the rough, bearded leader of the guards. He flung out an arm and yelled, "Surely you a
"What?" The young Brigadier General was stunned. But next second, he burst out laughing until he shed tears of laughter at last. "Hahaha, you're killing me! I should have... haha... bumped into a guy... haha even more arrogant than me... Kid, you're the law? Haha, what do you base this conclusion on?" "Well, what about you? What do you base your conclusion on?" Li Mu snapped back. "Me? Haha, my base is the fact that I'm surnamed Qin, and there is the royal blood running down my veins," the young man said with a scornful look, "What do you say? Isn't that a good justification?" "Not good enough." Li Mu shook his head and continued, "For me, your justification is not only inadequate but far from solid enough." "Oh?" The young man narrowed his eyes. A derisive smile curled up his lips, and he said, "Not enough for you? If so tell me, what's your justification then?" Li Mu swung a fist up and said, "This is my justifi
"What? Ask me to kneel here. You... dare to humiliate me?" The young general roared and said, "I am from the royal family of the Qin Dynasty. In my body flows the blood of the royal family, but you dare to ask me to kneel..." "Whack!" Li Mu raised his hand to slap him. "Don't I owe you my slap? Is it still unclear? Under the monument, all the martyrs are the heroes who once defended the royal family of the Qin Dynasty and the territory of the Empire of the Great Qin Dynasty. But you are only a mad fool who benefits from the deeds of predecessors. That I ask you to kneel should be your glory. It is reasonable for the emperor of the Empire of the Great Qin Dynasty today to salute before such a monument." When Li Mu finished his words, he looked down at the young General Qin Lin and said, "Will you kneel or not?" "If you are brave enough, kill me," the young General Qin Lin, with blood filling his mouth, sneered, "Yo
After Cai Zhijie rode his horse to come to the front, he first saw Prince Qin Lin in a miserable situation, then he was a bit shocked. However, when he saw Li Mu standing on one side with a hostile face, his heart violently throbbed. "Why is this killing god here?" He realized that he was about to be involved in a terrible matter. Even if he motivated all the soldiers of subordinate government organs in the eastern city, Li Mu wouldn't be defeated. After all, during the battle in the Heaven Sword Martial Club, Li Mu's strength was really too horrifying, especially his last punch, by which he immediately defeated a peerless master of the Natural Realm who cultivated some Natural Qi. He was just like a demon. That battle left a very deep impression on Cai Zhijie and caused him to generate a kind of instinctive fear of Li Mu. However, it was too late to retreat now. He stopped and felt nervous as if he
It was a perfect opportunity. Zhou An stood before the window of the restaurant and looked at the burning-out incense before the monument in the distance. He couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth. "I get the help from heaven!" Zhou An was almost excited. It seemed that he had imagined the scene of the prince being grateful to him after he killed Li Mu, and his prestige spread throughout all of Chang'an City and the empire... which would be a quite beautiful scene. "Hoho, hahaha..." Zhou An couldn't help laughing. "What makes you laugh in such a way?" A very abrupt voice came from behind him. Zhou An was shocked and turned back. At first glance, he was shocked and seemed to be petrified. "You... Why are you here? That..." He saw Li Mu, who was still under the monument the previous moment, appear at a table behind him beyond his awareness. Sneering at
Li Mu walked in the military cemetery and was in a good mood. This kind of comfort was not from massacring, but from the comfort that he dared to fight against unfairness. What was martial arts for? As for this problem that was full of interpersonal relationship philosophy, the ancient Chinese sages on Earth had verified it again and again. It could be done for the sake of revenge, self-protection, no humiliation, doing whatever one wanted, being brave, no grievance... but in a word, it was to protect those people and things one wanted to protect. Today, Li Mu felt this kind of happiness. He felt that he had a type of enlightenment. After the battle against Heaven-Sword Celestial Being, Li Mu gradually had this kind of psychology. With the battle just now, this kind of enlightenment in Li Mu's heart became increasingly clear. This kind of enlightenment was th
Li Mu did not speak but focused on observing. He found his current state quite bizarre. He had a vague feeling that right now, he was not corporeal but spiritual. He was communicating with the souls that died on battlefields. Undoubtedly, everything he saw at this moment kind of subverted his outlook. "Could there really be a region beyond the grave?" Li Mu wondered. He was also brooding about the meaning of what the General Flame just said. If what he implicated was that people of the Holy Clan could see them, then, those of the Holy Clan must know the existence of the souls of dead soldiers in the military tomb. If so, what else was behind that piece of information? He faintly discerned that he might have just made an amazing discovery. "Youngster, we have seen all of what you said and did in front of the monument." "Thank you." "You defended the glory of the souls of th
Li Mu's cultivation nowadays was at the peak of the Golden Immortal, and his battle power could cut down the first generals.If one were to obtain a drop of Immortal Marrow, one could instantly leap into the peak of Immortal Generals, and at that time, even if one were to face an Immortal King, one would be able to defeat him in battle, not to mention traversing across the major state capitals, even if it was the entire Eastern Sacred Continent, the heavens and the earth were vast, and one could go to it.At that time, it would be like a fish out of water to find Wang Shiyu, Hua Wanyong, and the others.At that thought, Li Mu immediately became desirous of this Immortal Marrow."One drop of Immortal Marrow, one great realm, so if a bottle of Immortal Marrow were all swallowed, wouldn't it directly soar into the Immortal Emperor, Immortal Emperor or even Immortal Lord realm?" Li Mu said.Xia Jing was stunned and then giggled."I didn't expect that
Uh-huh?What a scene of déjà vu.Li Mu all of a sudden, remembered the legendary Liu Huangshu Baidicheng entrusted the orphan.It's a pity that the Emperor is not Uncle Liu.And Li Mu is not Zhuge Kongming.Li Mu said indifferently, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I can make a dao oath that I won't taint the imperial power of Huangji Cliff for the rest of my life.""Cough cough cough ......" the emperor coughed, hastily said: "I ...... am not using words to frame you, I... ...In the chaotic world, there is no strength, sooner or later ...... sooner or later is the death ...... of the disaster ...... wood brother you if you are the emperor, or you may be able to ...... preserve a trace of my bloodline, I ......"Li Mu said, "Your Majesty's meaning, I understand, but my words remain the same, I will never dye the royal fist, Emperor Chen will be a bright ruler."The emperor sighed and said, "I understand ...... all ...... all stand down ....
Reimu smiled.Snap your fingers.Phew.A golden stream of light flashed by.Emperor Zhen, who was roaring at the top of his lungs, his voice came to an abrupt end, and his hands covered his neck, a splash of blood seeped out, followed by golden flames, which spewed out from his body."You ...... you dare to kill me?"He looked at Li Mu incredulously and eventually turned into a puff of flying ash.In the great hall, there was an instant dead silence.The horrific images, although they had ended, the aftermath was still like a hurricane, still madly hitting everyone's nerves over and over again.Prince Wood actually went out and killed someone?He actually made a move?Killing a royal son with royal blood flowing in his body right here in this great hall?He dared.He really dared.All the ministers felt that their bodies were cold, as if they had fallen into an ice cave, like the cold winter of the t
The other ministers in the hall, hearing such words, could not help but look at Zheng Yuan with shocked gazes.The so-called Emperor Tatsu's son is a wild seed, this kind of thing, if you don't explode it sooner or later, and you don't explode it at this time, what is the intention?Besides, it's not certain whether it's true or not.Saying such words in such an important meeting of the court was tantamount to slapping the emperor's face in public and rubbing the emperor's majesty, on the ground.What a nerve.On one side, Servant Yin's face changed wildly as she shook her head and argued, "No, it's not like that, Chen'er is His Majesty's child ...... "When the Emperor intended to set up Emperor Chen as the Crown Prince just now, she vaguely realized that this was a dangerous signal, the treacherous darkness of the palace court was not something she could resist as a small servant girl.But I didn't expect the slander and danger to come so
"Tatsu-chan!"Servant Yin was filled with a huge surprise in her chest and subconsciously rushed over to the little boy and held him in her arms."Mother, you're here too ...... Mother, I've seen father."The little boy dug into Squire Yin's arms with delight.His first words had to do with his parents.But many snickers resounded clearly and audibly in the great hall.Although no one said anything, the meaning was clear: 'Father' is a word you call, too?Servant Yin, however, didn't pay that much attention.In the instant she saw her son, her heart, without the slightest bit of nervousness or panic, held her son firmly in her arms, and the only thought in her entire life and soul at that moment was to protect her son at all costs."Do not make a noise and stand aside."The Grand Eunuch opened his mouth to chide.The little boy then kept his mouth tightly shut.He was foolish and hadn't seen much of the world, b
A cold aura flickered.A sword to the death.The sharp sword was about to pierce the young maid's brow.Just then, a sudden change occurred.Suddenly space and time seemed to freeze, and the black-clothed assassin realized that his immortal sword, after all, was no longer able to progress the slightest bit.What's going on?He was alarmed in his mind.And yet the next moment--Ding!The sword body incredibly broke apart and turned into countless shards.The tip of the sword flew backward and penetrated the black-clothed assassin's throat.Before the blood could soar out, his body erupted into a ball of golden flames, which then turned into flying ash and dissipated into the air.The little maid looked at what was in front of her in shock.In that moment just now, she thought she was bound to die.It turned out to be the assassin who died.Who saved me?She gasped in horror and looked arou
The Emperor was sitting on the throne of the Nine to Five, a little tired.The fact that he was poisoned was not revealed to the public.So until now, no one has known.But the toxin was eating away at his body so frantically that his energy was declining so much that his entire body felt extremely tired at all times.The sound of ministers' ears arguing seemed near and far away in the ear.The hand-wringing Prince Tatsu was led by the great eunuch and stood on the side of the dragon chair.Eight or nine year old boy, for the first time out of that small compound, face full of fear, timid, like a small goat caught in a wolf pack, not knowing what to do, lowered his head, twisted the corner of his coat, did not even dare to come out of the atmosphere.This look, in the eyes of the ministers, is even more unbearable."Your Majesty's intention to establish a Crown Prince is a major event, and should not be done in haste, perhaps it should
The little boy did not return until late afternoon.The young maid tried to inquire about the news several times, but was mercilessly stopped by the palace's close guards guarding the entrance of the firewood courtyard.She had been until, herself, she was secluded.This alarmed the young maid even more.What the hell is going on?What kind of terrible things would Tatsu'er face if he went to the palace?The Empress and the Noble Consorts, they won't poison him, will they?Why did His Majesty suddenly summon Chen'er to the palace?She speculated in her mind in fear, her tears were like a fountain that she could not control at all.It's a mother's love for her son.Humble but great love.Kneeling on both knees in the courtyard, she looked up at the Hao Sun that was gradually setting in the sky, and at the silver full moon that had already risen, shedding tears and silently praying with her life and soul."Tatsu'e
The Emperor was at the half-step Golden Immortal level of cultivation, and although this realm was forcefully instilled with various resources and secret techniques, the realm was enough after all.The lifespan of a half-step Golden Immortal could be more than five thousand years.So the Emperor never thought that he would have to face death head on, so soon."It's so ...... ungrateful."He smiled bitterly on his face and sighed deeply on the inside.But in the end, you have to face reality.The biggest problem to consider today was who should inherit the throne of Huangji Cliff after his death.He had only ascended the throne as emperor for just over two years, and because he was diligent in his political affairs and too young, he had not even considered the matter of the succession of the throne.In the harem, there are but one wife and two concubines.These three women were not his true love, but were allied for the sake of pr
