Good and evil had their retribution. This was the cycle of the Heavenly Dao.
Li Mu didn't expect retribution, and he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
In the past, he had despised Liu Hanyan for not being as good at fighting as Li Qing and not being as obedient as Wanwan. She had actually remembered all of this.
He looked at Liu Hanyan and opened his mouth, but he was speechless.
The atmosphere on the bed was somewhat awkward. Liu Hanyan got off the bed and put on her shoes. She said, "I'm going back to my room …"
Li Mu had originally wanted to explain that he was not after her money, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. In any case, they were already living together. In the future, there would be plenty of opportunities to prove himself.
To prove that he was not after her money, but purely after her body.
After coming to the prefectural capital, Li Si's words had awakened Li Mu from his dreams. At the same time, Li Mu had recognized himself, and also began to face matters of the heart.
In this half a year, Li Mu had focused on condensing his soul to survive. He did not have much time or energy to think about these issues.
Even under such circumstances, two women still walked into his heart.
Li Qing was the guide to his cultivation. She taught him cultivation, helped him condense his soul, protected him in all aspects, and saved his life several times.
Although Liu Hanyan's cultivation was not high, she was kind-hearted and considerate. She had countless shining points. She fulfilled almost all the fantasies a man had of an ideal wife.
To Li Mu, she was far more attractive than this.
Pure Yin and Pure Yang were innately suited for dual cultivation. After tasting it for the first time, the two were already inseparable.
When he thought of Li Qing, Li Mu still felt some regret. However, he also knew very well that he could not change Li Qing's determination to seek the Dao.
Li Si said that he had to cherish the people in front of him. Although he was talking about himself, Li Mu was thinking about Liu Hanyan.
Today, when Li Mu saw her at the entrance of the prefectural government, he had already made his decision.
However, Liu Hanyan was not Wanwan. It would not be easy to win her over.
Feelings could not be rushed. Anyway, she had already arrived in the prefecture capital and did not plan to leave in a short period of time. They had plenty of time ahead of them.
When he went to the county yamen tomorrow, he would ask Li Si for advice.
Li Mu composed himself. Xiao Bai ran in from outside and jumped onto the bed. She said obediently, "Benefactor …"
Her cultivation had improved a lot compared to a few days ago, mainly because of the old fox's teachings before his death. Currently, she had not completely digested the soul power, otherwise, she would have been able to transform.
However, due to the increase in its cultivation, the demonic aura it was emitting had also grown stronger.
There were many cultivators in the county city. The head constable of the county government was only at the Soul Condensing Realm, while the six sub-constables of the county government were all at the Spirit Concentrating Realm. The county captain had even reached the Middle Three Realms. The risk of being exposed in the county city was very high.
Even though she had never harmed anyone and the demonic aura it emitted was clear and pure, a demon was still a demon. If she was exposed in front of cultivators, there was no guarantee that they would not have evil intentions.
Li Mu gently stroked her head. Xiao Bai leaned on Li Mu. Her gem-like eyes curved into crescents and her eyes were filled with contentment.
Li Mu thought for a moment. The hand that was stroking her gradually emitted a golden light.
The Light of Buddha could expel the demonic aura from demons. There were many demons and ghosts in the Jinshan Temple, but they did not have any demonic aura or demonic aura. This was because they had been practicing Buddhism for a long time.
Li Mu used the Heart Sutra to activate the Light of Buddha. After a long time, he could expel the demonic aura from her body. Li Mu had used this method to expel the demonic aura from the little snake. This method could not only prevent the demonic aura from leaking out, but it could also prevent her from being harmed by the Light of Buddha in the future.
As the Light of Buddha entered her body, Xiao Bai felt warm and comfortable all over. She could not help but let out a moan.
The Soul Energy in her body gradually merged into her body under the Light of Buddha. She rubbed her head against Li Mu's hand. Her eyes were a little intoxicated.
She could already feel that she was not far away from taking human form …
In the inner courtyard, Liu Hanyan's room was still lit.
She sat in front of the table and held her chin with one hand. Her eyes were blurred as she muttered, "What does he mean? What does he mean by we can't leave each other? Why don't we just be together? Does this mean that he likes me …"
Li Mu had expressed his disdain for her more than once.
He despised her for not having a higher cultivation than Li Qing and not being as obedient and cute as Wanwan. Liu Hanyan's confidence in herself had long been destroyed. Now he said something that she did not expect. Could it be that he was the same as her and had also been poisoned by the dual cultivation?
In the three days that Li Mu had left, she was completely distracted. It was as if a piece of her heart was missing. This was the most important reason that drove her to the prefecture capital.
If she could turn back time, Liu Hanyan would definitely not have taken the initiative to drink those few cups of wine with Li Mu.
If they did not sleep together that night, she would not be in this predicament today.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs.
However, when she thought about how Li Mu actually had lust for her, her mood inexplicably improved. It was as if she had found the confidence that she had lost in the past.
She had never considered marriage before. Now that she thought about it carefully, marriage did not seem so scary.
Except for the fact that Li Mu wanted to marry many wives, he did not have any obvious shortcomings. If she were to marry him, it did not seem unacceptable.
She smiled and said proudly, "It's too late to know my good now. What will happen in the future depends on your performance …"
"Bah!"
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Liu Hanyan secretly spat a few times. She said shyly, "Liu Hanyan, oh Liu Hanyan, you have never thought of marrying. You even want to snatch Wanwan's man …"
…
Zhang Shan and Li Si slept in the County Premier's Mansion last night. When Li Mu and Li Si sent him out of the prefecture capital today, his expression was still a little absent-minded.
Before he got on the carriage, he still looked at Li Si in disbelief and said, "Do you really want to enter the County Premier's Mansion?"
Li Si said with melancholy, "Do I have any other choice?"
Zhang Shan did not say anything. He just patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be too sad. I'll explain to Xiangxiang, Jin, Xiaohui, Ping 'er and Cuihua for you."
Li Si looked in the direction of Yangqiu County and gazed into the distance. He said calmly, "Tell them that I'm already dead …"
The prodigal Li Si was indeed dead.
Under the pressure of the County Premier, he could not act recklessly again.
Li Mu was also ready to face up to the relationship between him and Liu Hanyan. After returning to the county office, he humbly asked Li Si for advice on how to pursue a girl.
Li Si put his hands behind his head and leaned on the chair of the county office. He said, "Pursuing a girl varies from person to person. There is no experience that can be applied to everyone, but one thing remains unchanged."
Li Mu said, "Sincerity."
Li Si nodded and said, "There are countless ways to pursue a girl, but sincerity is the most important. In this world, sincerity is the most worthless, but it is also the most valuable …"
Li Mu said, "Can you be more specific?"
Li Si continued, "Lady Liu's life experience is miserable. She relied on her own efforts to get to where she is today. Such a girl will often close her heart and will not easily trust others. You need to use your sincerity to open her closed heart …"
In the past few days in the county office, Li Mu found that it was even more leisurely than the county office.
After all, it was the capital of a county. Demons, ghosts, and evil spirits without any cultivation would not dare to be presumptuous nearby, so the office was relatively free.
After listening to Li Si's advice, Li Mu went home early and went to the market to buy some dishes that Liu Hanyan liked. During dinner, Liu Hanyan sat down opposite Li Mu. She picked up her chopsticks and glanced at the table. When she found that Li Mu had made all the dishes that she liked, she suddenly looked up at Li Mu and asked, "Do you have something to ask of me?"
Li Mu shook his head and said, "No."
Li Mu denied it, and Liu Hanyan did not ask any more questions. After dinner, she prepared to clean up and wash the dishes.
This was a tacit understanding that she and Li Mu had developed when they were in Yangqiu County. If one of them cooked, the other would wash the pot and the dishes.
Li Mu stood up and put away the dishes. He said to Liu Hanyan, "Let me do it."
Liu Hanyan looked at Li Mu suspiciously. "You really don't have anything to ask of me?"
Li Mu said helplessly, "I said I don't …"
After a while, Liu Hanyan sat in the courtyard and glanced at the kitchen from time to time with a puzzled expression.
Li Mu's behavior today was a little abnormal, and it made her feel a little uneasy.
Thinking of what he said last night, Liu Hanyan was even more certain that something must have happened in the days when she was not by Li Mu's side.
Li Mu finished washing the dishes and took the initiative to peel an apple. He walked to Liu Hanyan and handed it to her.
Liu Hanyan looked around and said uncertainly, "For me?"
Li Mu asked, "Is there anyone else here?"
Looking at the apple that Li Mu had peeled for her for the first time, Liu Hanyan was not moved. She said with a nervous expression, "Don't be like this, I'm scared …"
