"Daddy, Daddy Mu." The little girl said in a crisp voice and kissed Li Mu on the face. She held Li Mu's neck tightly with her little arms.
"Still pretending? You don't even recognize your own child. Are you still a human? "Bai Mochou sneered, looking disdainful.
The Husky also looked up at Li Mu and said, "Little Mu, you've only been here for a few days, but you've already made such a big child."
Li Mu really wanted to give this guy a flying kick to kill him. "What time is it? Why are you still stabbing him here?"
"Little girl, who are you? I don't think we've met before." Li Mu asked patiently.
The little girl shrank in Li Mu's arms and said, "Daddy Mu, I'm Daji."
"What? Daji? That little white fox? " Li Mu immediately understood. The little fox had entered the Everlasting Heaven for only a few months, but she had actually entered the Energy Shaping Realm and transformed into a human being. Li Mu held the little girl in his arms and looked at her. Sure enough, under the long black hair, there was a hairy fox tail.
"Tingting's mom seems to be a different person." Little Daji hugged Li Mu's neck and looked at Shangguan Yuting timidly, a little scared.
Li Mu said grumpily, "That's not your Tingting's mom. She's a … crazy woman."
"What did you say?" Bai Mochou's eyes were filled with coldness, and an icy mist appeared.
Li Mu also said coldly, "If it weren't for fear of hurting Ting 'er's body, I would have already suppressed you."
Bai Mochou sneered and said, "Try me."
At this time, a glimmer of light flashed at the gate of the Nine Heaven Gates, and another figure appeared. It was the Goddess of Martial Arts, Guo Qinyan, who finally came out.
Li Mu and Qiu Yin looked at each other and almost cried out.
How could they forget about the Goddess of Martial Arts?
Li Mu was knocked out by the Husky, Bai Mochou, and Daji, while Qiu Yin was preoccupied with the duel with her master Li Poyue. Guo Yuqing, on the other hand, was in low spirits because of Jiang Qiubai. She seemed to be thinking about how to save Jiang Qiubai … For that reason, the three of them had all forgotten about the Goddess of Martial Arts, Guo Qinyan.
If he had left just now, Guo Qinyan would probably have died of anger when she came out.
"Wow, you finally came out. We've been waiting for you for a long time." Li Mu spoke first without hesitation.
Qiu Yin opened his mouth but didn't say anything. He sighed in his heart. Third Brother is really too shameless. Did you forget about me just now? You actually spoke so shamelessly.
Seeing his enthusiasm, the Goddess of Martial Arts's eyes glinted. Then, she nodded and stood behind Guo Yuqing without saying anything.
When Bai Mochou saw that another valiant and beautiful woman had popped up, and Li Mu was so attentive and shameless, she immediately snorted and opened her mouth to taunt …
Guo Yuqing said, "Let's get out of here first. The Everlasting Heaven is closed. The entire Nine Heavens Imperial Court will disappear soon. We need to go back to the Wolf Temple first."
Bai Mochou seemed to be a little afraid of Guo Yuqing. At that, she glared at Li Mu and said no more.
The group of people followed the floating white jade steps to the gate of the tunnel. The moment they passed through the gate, they heard a rumble behind them. When Li Mu looked back, he saw the white jade steps flew up one by one and flew toward the Nine Heavens Imperial Court. At last, they fell into the city. Then, the Nine Heavens Imperial Court, which looked like an immortal palace in the clouds, seemed to have a rocket booster at the bottom. With a roar, it soared into the sky and disappeared into the horizon of the two moons and two suns.
The Everlasting Heaven was closed.
The group followed the way they came and entered the tunnel. Then, they passed through many labyrinths and saw the traces of the battle between Jiang Qiubai, the Wave-making Master, and Gu Bansheng. At last, they came to the gate of the Wolf Temple.
By then, it was already midsummer outside.
The prairie was verdant and lush. Standing at a height of a thousand meters and looking down, the whole land seemed to be covered with a layer of jade carpet. Flowers and trees dotted the landscape, which was extremely beautiful.
"Third Brother, I have a favor to trouble you," Guo Yuqing said.
Li Mu was stunned. Then, he said, "Big Brother, please tell me."
"When you return to Taibai County, send your sister-in-law and the two kids to the Wolf Temple on the prairie." Guo Yuqing looked down at the verdant prairie and said calmly.
Li Mu said, "Big Brother, you're going to stay here."
Qiu Yin also looked at Guo Yuqing and said, "Big Brother, are you going to take over the Wolf Temple again?"
Guo Yuqing nodded and said, "Junior Fellow Apprentice Jiang is sleeping in the Everlasting Heaven. All his persistence and pride are in the Wolf Temple. If I also leave, the glory of the Wolf Temple will be buried in the torrent of history. He once protected the glory for me. Now, I can't be selfish anymore … From now on, the Wolf Temple on the prairie will stand on this land forever." “
Li Mu was silent. Then, he nodded and said, "Big Brother, don't worry. I will personally escort the sister-in-law and the two kids to the Wolf Temple."
Qiu Yin also said, "Third Brother and I will escort the sister-in-law to the Wolf Temple."
"I'll go to the Western Qin. When I come back, I can be your guide." The Goddess of Martial Arts also said.
In fact, she was very excited in her heart.
Everyone on the prairie knew what the Great Jebe Guo Yuqing meant to the prairie. There had once been a beautiful and peaceful era on the prairie, which was the era shrouded by the glory of the Great Jebe. Since the Great Jebe left the prairie, the major tribes on the land had fallen into chaos and war again. In particular, the rise of the Spider Shrine had stirred up trouble and set off a storm of blood. If the former Great Jebe came back to the prairie, the people of the prairie might have a peace in that troubled world.
Li Mu nodded and said, "Alright."
He agreed to go with the Goddess of Martial Arts.
Because Li Mu was worried that when he came back, he might not find the location of the Wolf Temple again.
At that scene, Bai Mochou, who was standing by the side, chuckled and looked at Li Mu contemptuously, as if saying, "I knew you would agree with me, you playboy."
Li Mu gnashed his teeth in anger.
"This female ghost is obviously picking on me!"
"Woof, I want to go, too." The Husky said longingly, "I'll take my White Wolf Queen to the harem …"
…
…
Three days later.
In the border area of the Western Qin Empire.
In Longcheng Pass.
Wu Beichen was standing on the East Gate, overlooking every corner of the city.
The military camp of the Great Moon Empire occupied an area of several square kilometers. White tents, which looked like masses of unmelted snow, were scattered everywhere outside Longcheng Pass. There were three or four thousand of them. The Great Moon Empire had deployed about 20,000 troops to surround Longcheng Pass. In the past half a year, they had been training their troops outside the city and had never launched a real attack on Longcheng Pass. They even sent supplies to Longcheng Pass several times. But in the past half a year, people were only allowed to enter but were not allowed to leave. Thus, the entire Longcheng Pass had become an isolated island.
By then, Longcheng Pass had become an isolated city cut off from the rest of the world.
At first, the soldiers and civilians in the city were still waiting for the arrival of the reinforcements from the Western Qin Empire to recover the border area.
But as time went by, they no longer counted on it.
Obviously, the empire had lost the power to recover the border area. In the past half a year, the Great Moon Empire had gained a firm foothold there.
Wu Beichen heaved a sigh.
He was a little at a loss.
He did not know where Longcheng Pass should go. Perhaps even the highest commander, the Eight-armed Judge Zong Wei, could not give a clear answer.
The Great Moon Empire neither attacked nor persuaded them to surrender. That strange situation had lasted for such a long time. Gradually, the soldiers and civilians in the city had gotten used to the current atmosphere. They were even not afraid of the troops of the Great Moon Empire outside the city.
What was wrong with the Western Qin Empire?
No one knew.
The news could not get in.
In the afternoon, after the shift, Wu Beichen took off his armor and went down the city wall with two bodyguards. He bought a pound of pork at the military supply center, crossed the street, and arrived at Granny Cai's house.
He pushed the door open and went in. The sound of swords clashing came from the yard.
Caicai was practicing martial arts with a young man who seemed to be in his early twenties. They were exchanging moves, and the fight was quite exciting.
The young man was handsome. Dressed in a coarse warrior suit, he looked gentle and always wore a faint smile on his face.
"Xiaowu, stop practicing. I brought some meat today. Have a good meal. Go and call your uncle over. Let's have a drink together." Wu Beichen walked in with ease. After greeting the young man, he handed the vegetables and meat to Granny Cai.
"Uncle Wu," Caicai greeted him with a smile and said, "Brother Xiaowu taught me a new set of swordsmanship today."
Wu Beichen said, "You little girl, you can master all kinds of swordsmanship and combat skills as soon as you learn them. I'm afraid your Brother Xiaowu can't teach you for long."
Caicai burst into laughter.
The young man named Xiaowu smiled shyly and said, "Caicai is a genius. If she can be guided by a good teacher, she will definitely fly a thousand miles. In less than ten years, she will be famous all over the world." He was a very outstanding young man. He was gentle and shy, and he was polite to everyone.
"Brother Madcap also said so. Haha." Caicai always beamed with joy when she talked about Li Mu.
Xiaowu said hello and went out to invite his uncle to the banquet.
Looking at the young man's back, Wu Beichen also felt a little emotional.
Five months ago, when the army of the Great Moon Empire besieged Longcheng Pass, the caravan of Xiaowu and his uncle from Qianyang Province was trapped in the city by the army. In the past few months, they tried all kinds of ways but failed to get out. So, they had to settle down and buy a courtyard next to Granny Cai's house. That was how they got to know Granny Cai and her grandson.
Xiaowu, who was born in a merchant family, was quite wealthy. He had been apprenticed to a famous teacher and learned martial arts. At such a young age, he had already reached the Great Master Realm. He could be regarded as a genius among ordinary people. These days, Caicai had been practicing martial arts with this kid and learned a lot of swordsmanship.
After a while, Granny Cai prepared the meal.
Xiaowu came back and said, "Uncle has something to do. He's not at home …"
Wu Beichen smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. You just have a drink with me."
Soon, the dishes were served, and the aroma filled the air.
Nowadays, Longcheng Pass was short of resources. Only people like Wu Beichen could exchange their military merits for wine and meat. But he could only do it once a month. As a bachelor, every time he bought wine and meat, he would bring it to Granny Cai's house so that Granny Cai and her grandson could benefit from it.
After drinking a few cups, Wu Beichen put down the cup with a smile and said, "Xiaowu, I'm afraid the army of the Great Moon Empire won't retreat for a while. Do you have any plan …"
Xiaowu smiled shyly and was about to say something.
In the clear blue sky, a jet of light suddenly flashed by and got closer and closer.
The people in the yard felt their eyes were dazzled, and then several figures appeared in front of them.
Caicai was the first to come to her senses. She jumped to her feet and rushed over, cheering, "Brother Madcap …" She saw Li Mu.
Wu Beichen also stood up in surprise.
They were Li Mu, Qiu Yin, Shangguan Yuting, and the Goddess of Martial Arts, together with Yuan Hou, the Husky General, and Daji, the little white fox.
Xiaowu's expression changed slightly, and his eyes fell on Li Mu.
"Finally here?"
