"I feel as if I'm floating and about to fly away with the wind …" Hua Xiangrong opened her eyes with a look of surprise. She felt that she had never been more energetic. This kind of comfort was not the kind of comfort after a good rest, but as if the whole world in front of her had become bright and beautiful. She said in surprise, "The effect of this Breathing Method is really remarkable …"
She was like a little girl, delicate and lovely.
Li Mu said, "According to this method, as long as you have time, you can practice every day. It won't take long for you to be a peerless master in the world." He had great expectations for Hua Xiangrong.
Hua Xiangrong's eyes were shining, and she stretched herself in a charming way, "As long as I can always follow you, Young Master, I will be satisfied." After that, a layer of blush appeared on her white oval face, and her cheeks flushed, which made her extremely lovely.
This was a kind of confession to Li Mu in a different way.
As an otaku, Li Mu's vanity was greatly satisfied.
He said, "Later, ask Xin 'er to tell Madam Bai that I will stay in the Holy House tonight and ask Madam Bai not to disturb me again …"
"Ah … Young Master, you want to stay overnight?" Hua Xiangrong exclaimed, and the blush on her face became more and more obvious. Her voice was slightly trembling, and she looked at a loss.
Li Mu was stunned and immediately realized that Hua Xiangrong had misunderstood his meaning.
However, Hua Xiangrong obediently lowered her head, subconsciously twisted her long hair with her slender and delicate fingers, and said in a voice as low as a mosquito, "In fact … in fact, I … have long regarded myself as Young Master's woman. I … will ask Xin 'er to tell him."
She looked a little flustered and a little surprised.
She looked like a frightened deer, so shy that she couldn't even raise her head.
To put it bluntly, although she was a famous prostitute, she was actually just a young girl of 16 years old. Although she was inexperienced, she knew more than ordinary women what it meant to spend the night, so she became more shy.
The shyness of a virgin.
Li Mu was moved.
That world was not as open-minded as that on Earth, where it was not impossible to have sex out of friendship, especially in the Western Qin Empire where the customs were serious. If a girl agreed to such a request from a man, it meant that she really loved the man and wanted to give everything to the man wholeheartedly.
He once whipped a famous horse when he was drunk, deeply afraid that he would implicate a beauty.
A beauty's grace was the hardest to bear.
Li Mu's vanity was satisfied. While he was touched, he couldn't help but feel a burst of pressure.
What kind of feelings did he have for Hua Xiangrong?
Was it love?
He couldn't be sure.
However, it was true that he would think of her when he was free from cultivation.
However, this was clearly not the time to reflect on these problems.
Li Mu hastily explained, "Hua 'er, I'm leaving Chang' an to handle some errands. But I don't want others to know that I'm gone. So, I want to create a false impression that I'm spending the night here …" As Li Mu spoke, he suddenly felt that his idea was rather lousy. In that case, the girl's chastity was really in his hands.
Hearing that, Hua Xiangrong became more shy. She uttered an "ah" and hurriedly said, "I understand. Young Master, don't worry. I will definitely cooperate with you." She really didn't complain at all. In fact, she felt very happy to be able to help Li Mu.
Li Mu sighed inwardly and didn't know what to say. He couldn't help reaching out to hold Hua Xiangrong's little hand and gently squeezed it.
Hua Xiangrong looked soft and breathed like orchids. She didn't struggle and let Li Mu hold her hand.
This was the first time in her life that she had been touched by a man of the opposite sex, but she surprisingly didn't panic or feel uncomfortable. Instead, she felt the faint warmth from Li Mu's hand, which made her feel an unprecedented sense of security.
"Practice the calling method I taught you well. If there is anything you don't understand, wait for me to come back."
Li Mu stood up.
He ran the Muscle and Bone Changing Technique. Under Hua Xiangrong's amazed gaze, his muscles moved and his bones changed. Finally, he turned into a horse-faced man who looked to be in his thirties. Then, he performed a Taoist magic art to conceal his breath and left the Holy House silently.
…
…
The next afternoon.
In the autumn, the sun was shining brightly.
In Taibai County, it was quiet and peaceful. Everywhere was shrouded in a joyful atmosphere of harvest.
Taibai County was half a mountain city. Most of the crops were mainly planted in terraced fields. Fortunately, there were plenty of mountain springs and underground water. Irrigation was not a problem at all. In addition, the weather was favorable this year, so the harvest in the fields was very good.
The carriage was unimpeded all the way on the official road on the outskirts of the county.
"The air is so good." Sitting in front of the carriage window, Li Mu's mother could not help but sigh with emotion.
Chang 'an was already a beautiful place with beautiful scenery. But compared with Taibai Mountain, it was really far from it. Taibai Mountain with rustling pine trees was like a fairyland on earth. In the distance, Taibai County with red bricks and green tiles could be seen, which was antique, like a group of immortal palaces in a fairyland.
Grassy and Xia Ju were also chattering all the way. They had never left Chang 'an for more than a decade. Like skylarks who finally escaped from the golden cage, they were curious about everything.
Yesterday afternoon, they set off from Chang 'an and traveled day and night. By noon today, they had arrived outside Taibai County.
That was a little faster than Li Mu expected.
The horses and carriages Zheng Cunjian bought were indeed of the best quality.
After being checked at the gate of the county, the motorcade entered the city and went all the way to the government of Taibai County along the main road.
There were a lot of pedestrians on the street. They all looked peaceful and carefree. Whether it was a child with a bun on his head or an old man, they were all smiling. The passers-by also looked bright and beautiful. Obviously, life in the county was very comfortable.
"My son has done a good job in managing Taibai County." Li Mu's mother praised.
Born in a big noble family, she certainly had some insight. She could see the whole picture from a narrow view. In this respect, she had some insight.
Li Mu smiled but did not say anything.
Of course, that was the credit of Feng Yuanxing and other aides.
He had always been a hands-off manager.
However, it seemed that during the time he was away, everything in Taibai County was quite smooth. Nothing unexpected happened, so he was a little relieved.
Soon, they entered the county government.
It was only a dozen days since Li Mu left the county, but the county government had undergone great changes.
The Earth Evil Polaris Formation had brought great changes to the county government.
A faintly discernible wisp of Fairy Qi swirled and shrouded the entire county government. The Spiritual Qi was abnormally dense. Under the nourishment of the Spiritual Qi, the transplanted trees seemed to have been growing for decades. They were verdant and luxuriant with luxuriant branches and leaves. Skylarks, white cranes, white pigeons, and dozens of other spiritual birds could be seen inside and outside the red walls. Meandering water flowed, quiet and beautiful. It was like an immortal's cave.
"Is this the county government?" Li Mu's mother and the others were dumbfounded and could not believe it.
The air at the gate of the county government was sweet and refreshing. It was as if the Spiritual Spring was washing the body and soul. It was an extremely wonderful feeling.
Li Mu was also greatly surprised.
Everything in the county government was full of vitality, giving people a dreamy feeling.
The Earth Evil Polaris Formation had only transformed the county government for more than ten days. How could it have improved to such an extent? That was too exaggerated!
After the surprise, Li Mu was overjoyed.
The effect was better than he had imagined. Cultivating in such an environment, every breath he took would increase his cultivation base.
Feng Yuanxing, Zhen Meng, and the others came to greet him as soon as they heard the news.
"Your Honor."
"Your Honor, you're finally back."
Both of them were very excited.
"Your Honor, the county government has accumulated a lot of work. You're finally back. I'll immediately order someone to prepare the file and report to you …" Feng Yuanxing said with joy.
Li Mu said, "Well … Let's talk about it later."
"Get out of the way. I don't want to read the file at all."
Judging from the behavior of these two people, it was obvious that what happened in Chang 'an had not spread to Taibai County, which was also reasonable. Taibai County was remote and inconvenient in transportation. Moreover, in this world and this era, the communication was not as developed as imagined.
Li Mu and the others were welcomed into the county government.
After learning the identity of Li Mu's mother, Feng Yuanxing was even more shocked. He did not dare to neglect and immediately arranged several maids to serve them. They quickly cleaned a newly built courtyard in the county government.
Chun Cao and Xia Ju's status also rose with the tide.
When the little attendant Qing Feng showed up in a wheelchair, Li Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The little genius looked well and ruddy, much better than before Li Mu left. Moreover, Li Mu could tell that he was still in a good mood. He did not look depressed because of his disabled leg.
Zhao Ling, the female pharmacist of the Taibai Sword Faction, also showed up.
Seeing Li Mu, the proud little swan did not greet him. She just followed behind Qing Feng and pushed the wheelchair for him, pretending not to be interested at all. But the occasional peek at Li Mu revealed her curiosity.
Different from Feng Yuanxing, Zhen Meng, and the others, Zhao Ling was the little genius of the Taibai Sword Faction. She was much more advanced in terms of cultivation, martial arts theories, and experience. She keenly sensed that the current Li Mu was carrying a kind of indescribable aura, which made her feel pressured and even more distant from him.
She had only ever felt such a feeling from the Sect Leader.
