Li Mu looked at the unfamiliar girl on the bed and then looked at Liu Hanyan, who was standing at the door with tears in her eyes. His lips moved as he wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say.
He had been caught red-handed in bed. What else could he explain?
Although even Li Mu himself didn't know why this young girl would appear on his bed, he didn't know.
Liu Hanyan didn't say anything. She wiped her tears and turned to run away.
Chasing after his future wife was more important. Li Mu didn't care about what was going on with the girl on the bed. He quickly chased after her without even wearing shoes.
As soon as Liu Hanyan ran into the yard, Li Mu caught up with her and hugged her from behind.
Li Mu hugged her tightly and hurriedly said, "Don't be angry. Let me explain …"
Liu Hanyan didn't struggle. Two streams of tears flowed down her cheeks. She choked and said, "I saw it with my own eyes. What else do you have to explain? Isn't it enough for you to do whatever you want outside? You actually brought her home …"
Li Mu said with a wry smile, "I-I don't know who she is. I saw her when I opened my eyes this morning …"
"Do you believe what you're saying?"
"I …"
Li Mu didn't know how to explain. Suddenly, a vague voice came from behind him.
The girl walked out of the room naked and barefoot. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at Li Mu and Liu Hanyan. She asked in confusion, "Benefactor, Sister Liu, what are you doing?"
Hearing this extremely familiar voice, Li Mu turned around and was stunned. He said in surprise, "Xiao Bai?"
The next moment, his vision went black. Liu Hanyan had covered his eyes from behind.
Liu Hanyan's face turned red. She said angrily, "Xiao Bai, quickly go into the room!"
The girl looked at her and asked in confusion, "Why?"
Liu Hanyan said with a red face, "Look down."
The girl lowered her head to take a look. After a brief moment of shock, she let out a cry of surprise and her figure instantly disappeared on the spot.
A moment later, Li Mu and Liu Hanyan stood in the room, looking at the girl who had wrapped herself in a blanket. They murmured, "You, how did you transform …"
"I, I don't know either." The girl's face was bright red as she said, "Last night, last night, I just wanted to give it a try and then fell asleep. When I woke up, I became like this …"
Li Mu looked at Liu Hanyan and said, "Do you believe me this time?"
Liu Hanyan was a little ashamed and said, "I'll help her find some clothes."
After Xiao Bai transformed, although she wasn't as tall as Li Qing, she was still half a head taller than Wanwan.
Wanwan's clothes didn't fit her, so she could only make do with Liu Hanyan's clothes.
In Liu Hanyan's room, she stood behind Xiao Bai, helping her comb her hair while looking at the girl's face in the bronze mirror.
Even though she was very confident in her appearance, when she saw the girl in front of her, she couldn't help but feel ashamed.
The girl in front of her was really the most beautiful girl she had ever seen.
Even as a girl, when she saw her naked body, her heart couldn't help but beat faster.
"Lil …" Her lips moved. She suddenly realized that when she was a little fox in the past, she didn't feel anything when he called her Lil 'White. But now, when he called her Lil' White again, he felt a little weird.
She secretly looked at her again and asked, "Xiao Bai, what's your name? We can't keep calling you Xiao Bai in the future, right?"
The girl smiled and said, "My surname is Su. Big Sister Liu can just call me Xiao Bai in the future."
Liu Hanyan helped her comb her hair and couldn't help but say, "Xiao Bai is really beautiful."
Xiao Bai said shyly, "Big Sister Liu is the beautiful one."
Li Mu stood at the door and said, "You guys stay at home. I'm leaving."
Even though Xiao Bai's transformation was a happy event, Li Mu was going to Yang County today. He couldn't let Constable Zhao and the others wait for him.
Liu Hanyan put down the comb and said, "Xiao Bai, sit for a while and stay at home. I'll send him out."
Xiao Bai nodded obediently.
Li Mu walked into the courtyard and said, "It's only a few steps from here to the yamen. You don't have to send me off."
Liu Hanyan walked over and helped him tidy up his collar. She asked, "Xiao Bai has transformed. Are you very happy?"
Li Mu said with lingering fear, "What's there to be happy about? I was almost scared to death by her, and also by you …"
Liu Hanyan said bitterly, "She was born so beautiful and wholeheartedly wanted to repay your kindness by giving herself to you …"
Li Mu glanced at her and said, "Aren't you beautiful? Have some confidence in yourself."
Liu Hanyan lowered her head and said, "I know I'm not as beautiful as Xiao Bai. She's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen."
Li Mu stretched out his arms and pulled her into his embrace. He said, "In my eyes, you're the most beautiful. No matter who you compare yourself to, you're always the most beautiful. Don't ever doubt this."
"Mm …" Liu Hanyan made a soft sound of acknowledgment. She stood on her tiptoes and kissed him gently on the cheek. She said, "Come back soon. We'll wait for you at home."
Li Mu returned her kiss before leaving the house and hurrying towards the yamen.
Xiao Bai's sudden transformation had caught him off guard and almost caused Liu Hanyan to misunderstand. Fortunately, it was more daunting than dangerous and he managed to get through it safely.
The only pity was that after Xiao Bai transformed, he couldn't always hold her in his arms and play with her like a cat …
Not long after Li Mu left, Wanwan came running in with a lunchbox in her hand. The lunchbox contained the breakfast she had bought. When she saw the unfamiliar girl in the courtyard, she was stunned and asked in confusion, "Miss, who are you looking for?"
… …
Li Mu arrived late at the yamen's entrance. When he saw Constable Zhao and the others standing at the yamen's entrance, he hurriedly said, "Sorry, I was delayed by some matters."
The constables behind Constable Zhao looked at Li Mu with envy.
Constable Zhao pointed at Li Mu's face and shook his head. He said, "I really envy you young people."
Li Mu realized something and reached out to wipe the lipstick mark on his face. He said awkwardly, "It's getting late. Let's get going."
Other than Li Mu, Constable Zhao had brought four other people with him to Yang County.
One of them was the determined young man named Lin Yue who had passed the three tests with Li Mu and Li Si that day. The other three were old men from the yamen.
With the speed of a Spirit Condensing Realm cultivator using a Spirit Traveling Talisman, it would take more than four hours to travel from Yang County to the county capital.
Everyone had to rest along the way. By the time they reached Yang County, it was already past noon.
After reaching Yang County, they didn't go to the yamen. Instead, they went directly to the village where the plague had spread.
Cultivators who had refined the seven spirits were immune to all diseases and evils. Although it was an exaggeration, they were immune to more than ninety-nine percent of the diseases of mortals.
The six of them arrived at the village entrance and knocked on a villager's door. Just as they were about to ask about the situation in the village, the villager suddenly fell to the ground unconscious.
One of the constables touched his forehead and exclaimed, "It's so hot."
Constable Zhao said, "Help him in first."
The two of them helped the villager into the house. Constable Zhao asked the villager's wife to get a bowl of water and turned a piece of Fu-lu into talisman water. He pinched the villager's mouth and poured the talisman water into his stomach.
The villager's complexion improved after the talisman water entered his stomach, but he still didn't wake up.
Constable Zhao frowned and said, "How can it be useless …"
Li Mu walked forward and said, "Let me try."
Although Fu-lu often had mysterious powers, it wasn't omnipotent. Disease Dispelling Talismans could cure common diseases such as headaches and fever, colds and diarrhea. However, there were many diseases that couldn't be cured.
His hand glowed with a golden light. Under the astonished gazes of Constable Zhao and the others, the golden light was transferred into the villager's body.
The villager's pale face gradually turned rosy, and his breathing calmed down. One of the constables touched his forehead again and exclaimed, "It's not hot anymore …"
Li Mu heaved a sigh of relief. Although the Heart Sutra couldn't directly increase his strength, it was very useful in treating illnesses and saving people.
Constable Zhao looked at the villager and muttered, "What kind of plague is it that even the Disease Dispelling Talisman doesn't work?"
The young man named Lin Yue suddenly stretched out his hand and looked at the villager's eyelids and tongue. Finally, he leaned on the villager's chest and listened. His expression gradually became serious and he said, "It's the plague …"
