With Liu Hanyan by her side, Wanwan's progress was also very fast.
Although her cultivation level was still at the Third Realm, her ocular techniques were becoming more and more powerful. Even Li Mu couldn't control himself after looking at her pair of big, watery eyes for a long time.
Liu Hanyan left, but Wanwan was left behind to act as Li Mu's spy.
Fortunately, Li Mu had Xiao Bai. In this family, she was the only one who was wholeheartedly loyal to him.
"Okay, okay …" Li Mu put Wanwan down and asked, "They're gone. There are only three of us. What are we eating tonight?"
Wanwan became energized at the mention of food. She rubbed her butt as she hugged Li Mu's arm and said, "Let's eat barbecued meat … No, let's eat hotpot again. No, barbecued meat again. Emm … How about hotpot again …"
Wanwan was very conflicted about whether to eat hotpot or barbecued meat. In the end, Li Mu decided to eat hotpot and barbecued meat at the same time.
After eating and drinking to their fill, she and Xiao Bai cleaned up and washed the dishes. Li Mu went to the backyard and continued to repair the Law Bell.
A complete Law Bell was very important to him. The sooner he repaired it, the sooner his family's safety would be completely guaranteed.
However, he knew that those small spells that had never appeared in this world were almost used up. If the Law Bell couldn't be completely repaired before they were used up, he could only wait for it to slowly repair itself.
However, if that was the case, he didn't know how long he would have to wait. A year or even several years was very likely.
And this was under the condition that Li Mu had already repaired most of the cracks. If it weren't for Li Mu's intervention, it would probably take dozens or even hundreds of years just by relying on its self-repair ability.
The next day, Li Mu went to the palace as usual.
There wasn't much to do in the Imperial Secretariat recently. Li Mu handled his own business in the Imperial Secretariat in the morning. In the afternoon, he went to Changle Palace to help the Empress approve memorials and discuss the reform of the Department of Imperial Offerings with her.
In Changle Palace.
Li Mu sat at the side, carefully reading the important memorials. Zhou Yi leaned lazily on the dragon throne, reading a book called "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". Occasionally, she would raise her head to look at Li Mu. Seeing that he was seriously correcting the memorials, she lowered her head again to read.
By the time Zhou Yi came to her senses, she had already been in the yamen for a long time. She looked up at Li Mu again and asked, "It's been a quarter of an hour. Why haven't you gone back yet?"
Li Mu flipped open a new memorial. Without raising his head, he said, "My wife has returned to Mount Baiyun. I'm not in a hurry to return today. I'll read a few more memorials."
Zhou Yi unconsciously sat up straight and asked, "Which wife?"
Li Mu: "Both of them went."
"How long will you be gone?"
"Three or four months."
…
Zhou Yi put down the book in her hand and said, "Then you're not in a hurry to go back. Finish reading these memorials first."
Li Mu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that won't do. Xiao Bai and Wanwan are still waiting for me to eat at home."
Zhou Yi said, "I'll have the Mei Wei bring them to the palace. I haven't seen the little fox in a long time. I'll also order the imperial kitchen to prepare some food. In a while, you can all eat at my place."
Li Mu was stunned for a moment. Then, he could only nod and say, "Then, then okay …"
It seemed that ever since Liu Hanyan came to Shen 'du, the Empress hadn't gone to the Li Manor. In any case, there was no one at home. It didn't make much of a difference if he went back sooner or later. It was better to work overtime in the palace and get a working meal.
Soon, Mr. Mei went to the Li Manor to pick up Wanwan and Xiao Bai.
It was Wanwan's first time entering the palace. At first, she was a little reserved. However, under the influence of Xiao Bai, she soon became relaxed. The chatter of the two girls brought some liveliness to the usually lifeless Changle Palace.
Li Mu noticed that when the Empress looked at Wanwan and Xiao Bai, who were chasing each other in Changle Palace, there was a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.
Li Mu's impression of the Empress was that she rarely smiled. At most, she was expressionless.
Perhaps she saw her own teenage years in Wanwan and Xiao Bai.
However, their teenage years should be different. Wanwan and Xiao Bai were at the age of innocence. At the Empress' age, she should have become the Crown Princess and officially started her unfortunate life.
While Li Mu was reviewing the reports, the Empress took Wanwan and Xiao Bai to the Imperial Garden to admire the flowers.
Mr. Mei once said that the flowers in the Imperial Garden were all planted by the Empress herself. Planting and nurturing flowers was her greatest hobby.
Who didn't like these beautiful things? If he really had the chance to kidnap the Empress in the future and live in seclusion with her, he would let her plant flowers all around the house. Every day, when he opened the door, he would reap the joy of the whole day.
After finishing the last report, Li Mu left Changle Palace and walked towards the Imperial Garden.
Although he had been to Changle Palace more than a hundred times, his fixed route was from the Secretariat to Changle Palace. He had never been to other places.
Fortunately, Li Mu knew the direction of the Imperial Garden. After walking out of Changle Palace, he walked in a direction.
After a few hundred steps, Li Mu suddenly sensed something and stopped in his tracks.
He turned to look at a palace next to him. His heart was pounding. Suddenly, he had a strong urge to step into this palace.
It seemed that there was something in this palace that was attracting him.
Li Mu looked up at the top of the palace and saw the words "Ancestral Temple".
He subconsciously walked towards the palace, but before he could get close, a loud shout suddenly came from the palace.
"Get lost …"
At the same time, a strong aura swept out from the palace and pressed down on Li Mu.
Li Mu took a few steps back. His hair fluttered behind him, and his clothes fluttered. However, he also condensed an extremely strong "force" on his body. The two forces collided and formed a powerful impact. In the sky, several floating clouds suddenly scattered.
At the same time Li Mu's telekinesis condensed into force, a dragon's roar came from the palace. Then, a golden light suddenly flew out.
It was a golden dragon. After flying out of the palace, it rushed towards Li Mu.
The golden dragon was very fast. Li Mu had no time to dodge, nor did he try to.
He did not feel any threat from the golden dragon.
The golden dragon flew to Li Mu's side and instantly wrapped around his body.
In the next moment, Li Mu's expression changed slightly.
He felt that the telekinesis he had accumulated was quickly flowing into the golden dragon's body.
Li Mu controlled his telekinesis so that it would not be taken away by the golden dragon. He grabbed the golden dragon's body with one hand, wanting to fling it away.
However, his hand passed through the golden dragon's body. The dragon was actually an illusory object. It did not have a physical body at all.
Seeing that the telekinesis he had painstakingly accumulated was about to be taken away by the dragon, Li Mu made up his mind and used the Guiding Technique to compete with it.
The man and the dragon were evenly matched in the contest for the telekinesis. Neither could do anything to the other.
At this moment, three figures walked out of the palace.
The three of them were old men with white hair and beards. They wore crowns on their heads, which were different from the Empress's crown. They wore black dragon robes, and the golden dragon embroidered on their banners only had four claws.
What shocked Li Mu was that the powerful aura emitted from the three of them was not weaker than the scruffy Taoist priest's.
There were actually three peak Sixth Realm experts in the palace.
Seeing the golden dragon coiling around Li Mu's body, an old man's face darkened. He said coldly, "Those who disturb the Emperor's aura should be punished by death!"
He stretched out a withered finger and pointed at Li Mu from afar.
A powerful force of heaven and earth quickly gathered.
An illusory finger appeared in front of Li Mu's eyes.
A terrifying aura was emitted from the finger. He was about to summon the Dao Bell to defend himself when a figure appeared in front of him.
At this moment, the old man's right index finger had already pressed down.
Crack!
His outstretched finger was directly broken.
He ignored his broken finger and looked at the figure in front of Li Mu in shock and anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "What are you doing?!"
The Empress looked at the three of them indifferently and said, "Go back."
Then, she waved her hand gently. A powerful force swept the three old men back.
The Empress glanced at the golden dragon again. The golden dragon trembled and quickly scurried back into the palace.
It was only now that Li Mu sensed the golden dragon's abnormality. He looked in the direction of the palace and muttered, "Your Majesty, this is …"
The Empress said, "Emperor's aura."
It was not the first time Li Mu had heard the name "Emperor's aura." The Empress had been able to reach Seventh Realm because she had obtained it.
However, he had only heard of Emperor's aura before. Today was the first time he had seen it.
It was said that Emperor's aura was born from the Telekinesis of the people of the 36 counties. Li Mu did not realize it earlier, but now he realized that the golden dragon itself was formed from Telekinesis.
However, the Telekinesis was too vast and had already given birth to a spirit. The so-called Emperor's aura was the Telekinesis Spirit.
If Li Mu absorbed a few more decades of Telekinesis, his body should also give birth to a Telekinesis Spirit.
This damned Telekinesis Spirit. It already had so much Telekinesis, yet it still coveted this little bit from him. Wasn't it too greedy?
However, it was the first time Li Mu had seen such a vast amount of Telekinesis. If he had enough spiritual jades, he only needed to swallow this Telekinesis Spirit and probably reach Sixth Realm immediately.
If this Telekinesis Spirit completely matured, it would not be impossible for him to reach Seventh Realm immediately.
The Empress looked at Li Mu and asked, "Do you want to go in and take a look?"
Li Mu paused and nodded slightly.
He followed the Empress to the entrance of the palace. Three old men stood in the palace. The leader said in a low voice, "This is the ancestral temple. Those who are not members of the royal family cannot enter."
The Empress looked at them calmly. "I let him in. Do you have any objections?"
The old man said, "We are the guardians of the ancestral temple. If you want to let an outsider in, you have to step over our dead bodies first."
The Empress looked at Mr. Mei, who was waiting outside the palace, and said, "Mei Wei, arrange for someone to come and collect the body."
After saying that, the other two old men pulled the old man away, one on the left and one on the right.
"Royal Brother, forget it …"
"It's not a big deal …"
"Didn't the Zhou Family also come in back then …"
"If he wants to see, let him see. It's not like he'll lose anything …"
