Li Mu looked at the woman in the album carefully and confirmed that she looked very similar to his inner demon.
Although the woman in the painting was younger, there was no doubt that this was a portrait of her from a few years ago, just like Liu Hanyan's portrait.
Li Mu thought that his inner demon was a figment of his imagination. He didn't expect to find the original in reality. He looked at the bottom left corner of the portrait and found the woman's information.
There were two lines of words at the bottom left corner of the portrait.
Zhou Yi, eldest daughter of Minister Zhou Jing, now the Crown Princess. She has an extraordinary appearance and outstanding cultivation talent. It is said that the Crown Prince doesn't like her. She has been married for two years and is still a virgin …
Li Mu stood there in a daze, his mind blank.
This was the first time he heard the name Zhou Yi. But wasn't the daughter of Minister Zhou Jing, the former Crown Princess, the current Empress?
This album looked quite old. It was at least five years ago. At that time, the Empress was still the Crown Princess, and the artist didn't have to be so secretive.
But even five years ago, this kind of thing should be discussed in private in a small circle. It couldn't be brought out in public.
Of course, this wasn't important to Li Mu.
The important thing was, how could his inner demon be Her Majesty the Empress?
This couldn't be a coincidence. There was no such coincidence in the world. He had never seen the Empress's true face. How could he imagine her in his dream?
The only possibility was that the woman in his dream wasn't some inner demon. She was the Empress herself!
With her Level-7 cultivation, she could easily use the Dream Transference Technique to invade Li Mu's dream.
But why did she invade Li Mu's dream? Why did she ravage him in his dream?
Li Mu thought about it carefully, and soon remembered that every time the Empress appeared in his dreams and brutally ravaged him, it was when he was gossiping about the Empress.
For example, whether she was still a virgin, whether she didn't get along with the former Crown Prince …
He was so gossipy during the day, and he would be beaten up in his dream at night.
No wonder Mr. Mei's expression was so strange when he saw the image of the woman in his dream.
No wonder when the Empress summoned him, her back was facing him.
When he saw the picture album, all the mysteries in Li Mu's heart were solved.
It's fake.
It was all fake!
Her Majesty the Empress being magnanimous and magnanimous was all a lie!
On the surface, she didn't seem to care about anything, but in fact, she had already thought about how to take revenge tonight.
What made Li Mu even more unimaginable was how she knew that he was gossiping about her. Although Transcending Realm powerhouses possessed remarkable abilities, they didn't have clairvoyant eyes and ears. They didn't have the ability to know everything under the heavens without leaving their homes.
No matter what, the mystery that had troubled him for many days was finally solved.
At this moment, Li Mu didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
He did not give birth to an inner demon, this was naturally a joyous matter, but the truth was even more terrifying than the birth of an inner demon.
Li Mu closed the album. After calming himself down, he carefully analyzed the situation.
If the Empress really wanted to blame him, she could casually find a reason to make Li Mu suffer.
However, she only beat him up in his dream. In reality, she doted on Li Mu in every possible way. She gave him magic weapons, spiritual jades, tributes, and even personally helped Li Mu break through the realm. This showed that she didn't intend to pursue the matter.
This made Li Mu comfort himself, but at the same time, he felt that it was difficult to adapt.
The Empress gave him the feeling that she was powerful and majestic. What she showed in front of the ministers and Li Mu was indeed such an image.
No one knew that the Empress had another face that would reveal itself at night.
At this time, Wang Wu slipped in from outside and said, "Boss, I know I was wrong. I won't be lazy in the future. Can you return that book to me? It took me a lot of effort to find it …"
Li Mu glanced at him and asked, "What book?"
Wang Wu looked at the album on the table. He knew that although it was close at hand, it no longer belonged to him.
He shook his head and said sadly, "It's nothing. I'm going down …"
After taking two steps, he turned back and reminded him again, "Boss, you can read this book by yourself. Don't spread it out. This thing was banned back then, and now it contains disrespectful content. You can't let anyone know about it …"
The great disrespect was naturally referring to the portrait of the Empress.
Now she was no longer the daughter of the Zhou family, nor was she the Crown Princess. According to the law, she should be beheaded for privately drawing a portrait of the Emperor.
Perhaps the person who drew this portrait would never have imagined that the Crown Princess would become the future Empress. Otherwise, he would not dare to gossip about her in the book.
"Zhou Yi, the name sounds good …"
After becoming the Empress, no one dared to mention her original name. Although Li Mu was determined to be the Empress's bodyguard, this was the first time he heard her name.
Li Mu did not dare to look at the Empress again. He looked at the portrait and thought about Liu Hanyan for a while. Then he put away the album and sat cross-legged on the bed.
Now, with the help of the Empress, he had successfully advanced to the Abhijina level and stepped into the middle three realms of cultivation.
The middle three realms were a watershed for cultivators. Cultivators in the Immortal Realm could only use some small spells that borrowed wind and fog. Once they stepped into the Abhijina level, they could come into contact with the truly mysterious world of cultivation.
Walking on water and sitting on fire, entering the water to control the wind, swallowing knives and spitting flames, moving in the opposite direction, gathering beasts and regulating birds, and using great strength to restrict … After stepping into the Abhijina level, the number of Abhijina spells a cultivator could use would greatly increase, and they would all have a certain amount of power. This was the origin of the fourth realm of Daoism.
At the fifth realm, Creation, the number of Abhijina spells one could use would increase, and their power would also be stronger. They could use the Five Elements Escape Technique, Immobilization, and so on. Abhijina spells at this stage already had the power of Creation.
And at Dongxuan, they could carry mountains and restrict rivers, move scenery and take the moon, pinch fingers to calculate, see the secrets of the heavens, and predict the future …
As for the Upper Three Realms, they were even stronger. Li Mu did not think too much about this. His strength was forcefully raised by the Empress. If he did not stabilize it quickly, there would be a risk of it falling.
Although the taste of being forcefully raised was painful, if the Empress could give him this from time to time, the Creation was just around the corner.
Late at night, Xiao Bai beside him had already fallen asleep. Li Mu was still stabilizing his breathing.
Suddenly, a wave of sleepiness hit him. In front of Li Mu's eyes, the woman in his dreams appeared again.
After seeing the portrait of the Empress, Li Mu naturally no longer thought that this was his inner demon.
The Dream Marriage Technique of a Transcendent powerhouse could easily invade other people's dreams and weave them wantonly. This technique could also trap a person's consciousness in a dream, forever unable to wake up.
Li Mu forced himself to calm down. He could not show the slightest difference.
The Empress met him with the Dream Entry Technique because she did not want Li Mu to recognize her identity.
Once her identity was exposed, she would fly into a rage out of humiliation. He did not know what she would do.
Li Mu chanted the Clear Heart Technique, calmly greeted her, and said, "We meet again …"
The woman glanced at him and said lightly, "You don't seem to want to see me."
Li Mu quickly explained, "No, no, in the days when you did not appear, I was thinking about you every day."
"Thinking about me?" The woman looked at Li Mu and asked, "What about me?"
Li Mu did not continue this topic and said, "I think you are very similar to someone."
The woman asked, "Who?"
Li Mu said, "Her Majesty the Empress."
Deep in the woman's eyes, a trace of panic flashed for the first time. But her expression was still calm. She asked, "How so?"
"I can't say. It just feels so." Li Mu said and then shook his head. He murmured, "No, you and Her Majesty only look alike from the back. Your personality is completely different. You only know how to play with whips. You are vengeful and stingy. Her Majesty is broad-minded and considerate to her subjects. Not only did she give me spiritual jades, but she also helped me improve my cultivation …"
The woman glanced at Li Mu and said, "She is so good to you because she wants to use you."
Li Mu's face darkened. The Baiyi Sword appeared in his hand. He pointed at her and said, "Her Majesty is the person I admire the most. I will not allow you to disrespect her. You dare to criticize Her Majesty. I cannot tolerate this. Show me your weapon …"
