Inside the bamboo house, a woman in a green dress was absorbing the Yang Qi of the man on the ground. Suddenly, her expression changed and she looked at the door.
Light footsteps came from the door of the bamboo house.
A young man pushed the door open and said, "Guo Dadan, I was wondering what you were up to these days, sneaking out. It turns out that you are keeping a woman in the mountain. If you don't give me some benefits, I will go back and tell your wife. She will break your legs …"
Hearing this, the woman in the green dress softened. She put on a charming smile and walked away. After closing the door of the bamboo house, she said with a sweet smile, "Don't. What benefits do you want? I will give it to you …"
As she spoke, she spat out a puff of pink mist. The young man inhaled the mist and his expression became blurred.
He looked at the woman in the green dress and murmured, "I want you …"
The woman in the green dress waved her sleeve and the man on the ground flew to the corner of the bamboo house, unconscious. She put one hand on the young man's chest and twisted her body. She said, "Young master, you are so naughty …"
The young man was in a daze. Step by step, she helped him to the bed and looked at him. She said in a low voice, "You are quite handsome. I can't bear to part with you …"
She put the young man on the bed gently and climbed onto the bed herself. She kept twisting beside him. Wisps of white mist flew out from the young man and were absorbed into her body.
After a while, the woman in the green dress stopped. She looked confused.
Although the young man who came in later had abundant Yang Qi, she only managed to absorb a little bit of it with great effort. On the other hand, it seemed that something in her body had been sucked dry.
She felt dizzy and her legs were weak. She fell back onto the bed.
She suddenly looked up at Li Mu and said in shock, "You, you are not …"
Li Mu cast a spell with his left hand and a white light flashed outside the house. The Baiyi Sword flew in from outside and was held in his hand. Li Mu pointed the sword at the woman and said coldly, "How dare you, demon! I can tell at a glance that you are not human!"
Li Mu had already seen that the woman's true form was a green snake when he was outside.
The Yang Qi of Guo Village's man had been sucked away by this shapeshifting snake demon.
The woman was furious when Bai Yi pointed at her. "Damn it! You're a cultivator!"
Li Mu said coldly, "You didn't walk the righteous path, so you should have expected this day to come!"
The woman in the green dress coldly snorted, "That will depend on your ability!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly disappeared into thin air, leaving only a green dress on the bed.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Li Mu jumped down from the bed. Holding Baiyi in his hand, he chased after a green shadow that was fleeing at high speed at the door.
The body of this snake demon was a green snake about ten feet long. Its body was covered with fine scales. Li Mu had just chased out of the bamboo house when he heard the sound of wind breaking.
A black shadow came right at his head.
Li Mu stretched out his arm to block. His body retreated a few steps before he regained his balance.
Even so, his arm was still numb.
The most powerful thing about monsters was their bodies. If not for Li Mu's dual cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism, and the fact that his body had been tempered twice by Xuandu and the Abbot of Jinshan Temple, the snake demon's tail whip would have broken Li Mu's arm.
However, the head-on confrontation just now had given Li Mu a clear understanding of his physical strength.
Although the snake demon had the upper hand in the attack just now, its tail was still trembling slightly. This meant that Li Mu's physical strength was not much weaker than its monster form.
Li Mu decided to take Bai Yi in. He wanted to use his physical strength to subdue this shapeshifting snake demon.
Li Mu still remembered Xuandu's bravery.
The snake demon's attack did not work. It used its tail as a drill and stabbed at Li Mu's chest.
Li Mu reached out at lightning speed. He grabbed the snake demon's tail and swung it away. The snake demon was thrown out and hit a tree hard.
The snake demon's body was aching. It was also shocked. This human cultivator's body was not much weaker than that of monsters.
It sat on the tree and said angrily, "Damn human cultivator, I have no grudge against you. Why do you have to make things difficult for me?"
Li Mu said, "You have broken the law by absorbing people's Yang Qi to cultivate. Come with me to the yamen and be punished. I can spare your life."
"Don't even think about it!"
The snake demon snorted. "Do you think I can survive after I enter your yamen? Don't you humans like to extract my soul, extract my snake gall, and eat snake meat?"
Li Mu said, "Then let's see who's the real deal!"
The snake demon spat out its tongue and jumped on Li Mu with the help of the tree. It was so fast that Li Mu could only see a shadow.
Li Mu clenched his fists and punched forward. It hit the snake demon's head and made a dull sound.
Li Mu's fist was numb. The snake demon was sent flying. It struggled a few times but still could not get up.
It was shocked by Li Mu's strength and body. It endured the pain and dizziness and gritted its teeth. "If you hadn't sucked my strength dry, you wouldn't have been able to defeat me!"
Boom!
A white thunderbolt blasted a hole in the ground beside it.
The snake demon's eyes were wide open. She felt a strong sense of danger from the white thunderbolt.
If this thunderbolt hit her body, her body would definitely be turned into ashes. Even her soul would not be able to escape.
Li Mu saw that the snake demon was stunned and did not continue to force it. "How about we make a bet? If you win, I'll let you go. If you lose, you'll follow me back to the yamen and accept the punishment of the law. However, I can guarantee that the crime you committed will not be punishable by death."
The thunderbolt just now had proved that this person had the ability to kill her. He was the knife and she was the snake meat. She had no choice.
She sat up and asked, "What are we betting on?"
Li Mu said, "Let's bet on whether you can disturb my concentration. If you can, I'll let you go."
The snake demon hesitated for a moment and said, "Wait for me to put on my clothes."
She slithered into the bamboo house. When she came out, she had already turned into a human and was wearing an emerald green dress.
She walked to Li Mu's side and looked at him with fear and confusion.
But soon, she snorted. A normal man would not be able to maintain his concentration under her seduction.
Li Mu stood there. The snake demon's lower body revealed its original form and gently wrapped around Li Mu's legs. She hooked her arms around his neck and leaned close to his ear. She gently exhaled and said, "It's boring to cultivate alone. Why don't we do something happier …"
Although she said that, she was actually thinking about whether or not she should just reveal her true form and swallow him in one gulp.
This thought only flashed through her mind, but she directly rejected it.
First, she had never eaten a human. Second, she could not see through this person's cultivation. She was afraid that she would die in his hands before she could take action.
Moreover, although this human cultivator was abominable, he was quite handsome. If she could subdue him and absorb his Yang Qi to cultivate every day, it would be an inexhaustible source. Wouldn't that be a better way to cultivate?
Under such close contact, Li Mu's heartbeat was normal, but the snake demon's heart was in chaos …
She had always absorbed people's Yang Qi through illusions. When had she ever used her own body as bait?
This man's Yang Qi that hit her in the face made her a little restless for a moment. Even her body became weak and she no longer had the strength to wrap around Li Mu.
Soon, she realized that there was indeed a steady flow of power in her body.
She immediately let go of Li Mu and said in horror, "What did you do to me!"
Li Mu slowly opened his eyes and exhaled softly.
He did not expect that one day, he would still be reduced to the point where he had to rely on his body to cultivate.
The desire provided by this snake demon was more than the two female ghosts and Liu Hanyan combined. Collecting the seven emotions was indeed more useful the higher one's cultivation was.
"You lost," Li Mu looked at her and walked toward the snake demon. He said, "Come back to the county office with me."
He took a few steps and suddenly stopped. He raised his head and looked out of the bamboo forest.
There was a powerful Demon Qi that soared into the sky and was quickly approaching the bamboo forest.
That Demon Qi was much stronger than this green snake. It must be a monster of the middle three realms that had condensed a Demon Core.
The green snake also felt the Demon Qi. Joy appeared on its face and it said loudly, "Sister, save me!"
