Liu Hanyan made the decision to open a branch in the prefecture capital four days ago.
She used three days to arrange everything in Yangqiu County. After Zhang Shan heard about this from his wife, he was worried that the two of them would encounter danger on the road, so he took the initiative to escort them here.
Li Mu knew very well that Liu Hanyan saying that she wanted to open a branch in the prefecture capital was just an excuse.
Some things would happen countless times after the first time.
In these three days, Li Mu also wanted to return to Yangqiu County countless times to dual cultivate with her every night. After all, this was much easier than cultivating alone.
Opening a branch was just a spur of the moment thing and she hadn't prepared anything yet. The first thing she had to solve was the problem of accommodation.
To her, this couldn't be any easier.
After dinner, she went to the broker house and bought a two-storey house. She gave the broker ten taels of silver as a reward. The broker helped her complete all the transfer procedures within two hours and asked people to clean the house inside and outside.
Zhang Shan couldn't help but sigh as he moved the boxes one by one from the carriage into the courtyard, "It's so good to be rich. When can I buy a house like this …"
Li Si calculated and said, "It won't take too long. If you work in the county yamen and don't eat or drink, you can save five taels of silver a year. You can buy a house in two hundred years. If you're willing to come to the prefecture yamen, you only need about a hundred years …"
Liu Hanyan suddenly said, "If Brother Zhang Shan doesn't want to be a constable and is willing to come to Yunyan Pavilion, I guarantee that you can buy a house like this within ten years."
Li Si also said, "Didn't you just say that Lord Zhang's transfer order has arrived? He's about to leave Yangqiu County. When that time comes, you won't have much to do in the county yamen. Why don't you come to the prefecture capital …"
Although the temptation of silver was great for Zhang Shan, he still said worriedly, "I'm not familiar with this place …"
Li Si patted his chest and said: "What are you afraid of? Don't worry, I will protect you."
"You?" Zhang Shan pursed his lips and said, "You've only been in the prefecture city for a few days. Who can you protect?"
Li Mu glanced at Zhang Shan and said, "He's really capable."
Li Si was now living in the Prefectural Minister's Mansion. In such a large prefecture, there were not many people that he could not protect. Even Li Mu needed his protection.
Zhang Shan was still somewhat hesitant. He said, "Let me think about it."
Li Si went straight to the point. "Do you want to stay in Yangqiu County to accompany your wife?"
The hesitation on Zhang Shan's face disappeared as he said firmly, "I've made up my mind!"
After careful consideration, Zhang Shan decided to resign.
First of all, after Zhang County Magistrates was transferred, he had lost his backer in the county yamen. His life in the future might not be as good as before.
Second of all, the job of a bailiff was too dangerous for an ordinary person like him. If he was not careful, he could lose his life. Especially after his experience in the past six months, he had long wanted to quit.
Most importantly, he did not have to struggle for 200 years.
It was already late, so Zhang Shan could not go back. He planned to leave early the next morning.
Liu Hanyan said, "There are many rooms in the new house. If Brother Zhang Shan doesn't mind, you can stay here for the night."
Zhang Shan was about to agree. After all, staying in an inn cost more money. Li Si shook his head and said, "There are no bedding in the new house. It's too troublesome to prepare …"
Zhang Shan said, "I can sleep on the floor. It's fine."
Li Si put his arm around his shoulder and said, "You came all the way here. How can I let you sleep on the floor? You can sleep with me tonight. My bed is very big and comfortable …"
Zhang Shan was dragged away by him. Before he left, Li Si looked back at Li Mu with a meaningful look.
Liu Hanyan also gave Li Mu a look. It was a look that Li Mu was very familiar with.
Li Mu's throat moved. He swallowed and said, "I, I want to go back to the inn tonight."
Liu Hanyan asked, "You're staying in an inn?"
Li Mu nodded and said, "I haven't found a place to rent yet."
Liu Hanyan pointed to the east and west rooms and said, "There are so many rooms here. You can choose one to live in. It'll be convenient … convenient for cultivation in the future."
Without waiting for Li Mu to speak, she added, "If you think it's inconvenient, I can buy the house next door. You can choose to live next door. You can pay me rent every month."
"It's too troublesome to buy another house. I'll go to the inn to get my luggage …"
Li Mu thought about it carefully. Even Liu Hanyan didn't think it was a problem. He had nothing to worry about.
In these three days, he wasn't used to being away from Liu Hanyan.
After he went to the yamen, she didn't cook and wait for him at home. There was no one to Dual Cultivate with at night … Although Li Mu didn't show it when Liu Hanyan came to the county town, his empty heart was suddenly filled.
Li Mu returned to the inn and packed his luggage. When he returned, Wanwan had already helped him tidy up the room and made the bed.
The quilt on the bed wasn't new. There was a faint fragrance. Wanwan took Li Mu's bag and said, "Miss used to cover you with this quilt before. Miss said she would buy you a new one tomorrow …"
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "No need. It's okay if it's an old quilt. It's fine as long as it can be used."
Li Mu packed his luggage and heard the sound of footsteps coming closer behind him.
Liu Hanyan leaned against the door and glanced at Li Mu. "You're here?"
A moment later, on the bed.
Li Mu and Liu Hanyan sat cross-legged facing each other. Their palms were facing each other. Mana quickly circulated in their bodies.
Li Mu now somewhat understood why those who cultivated Heretical Cultivation would go further and further down this path once they started harming people. Why those righteous sects would strictly restrict the shortcuts their disciples took.
Li Mu thought that he had a firm mind, but even he couldn't resist the temptation of such a rapid increase in mana.
Of course, he just couldn't resist Dual Cultivation with Liu Hanyan. He never had the thought of harming people by extracting their souls.
As for Liu Hanyan, she was clearly even less firm than Li Mu.
Li Mu suddenly had a thought. Liu Hanyan couldn't wait to rush over from Yangqiu County. Did that count as having some kind of desire for him?
He used the method of guiding her emotions to test her. He actually absorbed desire from her.
Li Mu opened his eyes and looked at Liu Hanyan in shock. He didn't know if what he absorbed was desire to see, touch, or lust.
Liu Hanyan, who had her eyes closed and focused on cultivation, suddenly opened her eyes. She felt a familiar feeling coming from her body. She looked at Li Mu and said angrily, "Did you suck me again?"
Li Mu quickly stopped. Liu Hanyan snorted and said, "Do you think you're the only one who knows how to suck?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Mu felt an emptiness in his body. He looked down and found that there was a yellow emotion in his body that was attracted to her.
Yellow was desire. This was his desire for Liu Hanyan …
Li Mu was stunned. Could it be that he also had desire for Liu Hanyan?
His transcendence energy was much higher than Liu Hanyan's. He could cut off her guidance at any time, but this would hurt her. Li Mu simply let her guide him. At the same time, he continued to absorb the desire in her body.
Not long after, the two of them fell on the bed at the same time. Liu Hanyan said weakly, "I don't want to play anymore. I'm so tired …"
Then she looked at Li Mu and asked, "You, you actually have desire for me!"
Li Mu said, "Aren't you the same?"
Liu Hanyan explained, "I'm doing it because of cultivation."
Li Mu said, "Me too."
Liu Hanyan was too lazy to speak again. She lay on the bed, her chest rising and falling as she recovered her strength.
Li Mu thought of Li Si's words and suddenly said, "Say, aren't you worried that you won't be able to get married if we do this every night?"
Liu Hanyan said indifferently, "I'm not thinking of getting married."
Li Mu said, "I'm going to get married."
Liu Hanyan turned to look at him angrily and asked, "What do you mean?"
Li Mu explained, "What I mean is that since we're already like this, we can't leave each other. Why don't we just be together? It won't waste the pure Yin and pure Yang constitutions …"
Liu Hanyan was stunned and asked, "Didn't you say that I'm not as good as Constable Li, not as obedient as Wanwan, and that I'm not your type?"
Li Mu: "…"
Liu Hanyan got up from the bed and looked at Li Mu warily. She asked, "Why did you suddenly change your mind? Tell me, are you after my money?"
