Li Mu would have thought that he had been discovered if Phantom Princess did not summon the elites of Meizong Sect.
Li Mu asked anxiously, "Lord Phantom Princess, can I leave now?"
Phantom Princess looked at him and said, "You don't have to go back. From now on, you will stay in the courtyard next to mine. I will summon you if I need anything."
Li Mu was delighted. He did not know if he was closer to her psychologically, but at least he was closer physically. He was one big step closer to his final goal.
He left Phantom Princess's place and went back to his room to pack his things. He met a few people from Meizong Sect along the way. They all stopped and clenched their right fist and hit their left shoulder. This was a gesture of respect from Meizong Sect.
Li Mu had won their respect after hiding near the Heretical Cultivation Organization for half a month and taking back the body of his fellow sect member.
At this moment, there was a storm in a Heretical Cultivation Organization.
"Trash, you can't even protect a body with dozens of people?"
"Someone swaggered in, took away the Demonic Corpse, and killed more than ten people. What were you doing at that time?"
"You trash, how dare you face me?"
…
An elder looked down furiously. Dozens of people knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads.
"Master, it's not that we're incompetent, it's just that the thief is too cunning. As soon as you left, he pretended to be you and tricked the corpse away. Although we realized that something was wrong later, that thief is extremely good at hiding. We couldn't find him at all when he snuck into the forest. We split up to search, but he defeated us one by one and killed a few of us. Moreover, this person is not afraid of death, as if he doesn't care about his own life, exchanging injury for injury, exchanging life for life. He's very difficult to deal with …"
"Cut the crap!" An old man waved his hand and said: "This is a great humiliation, truly a great humiliation. Pass down my order, anyone who can take that bastard's life will be rewarded with one thousand spirit jades. Anyone who can capture him alive and bring him to me will be rewarded with two thousand spirit jades!"
…
In Thousand Fox City, the spies of Meizong Sect quickly found out about the Heretical Cultivation Organization's kill order.
One thousand spiritual jades was a great temptation for cultivators below realm six, regardless of whether they were humans or demons.
But at the same time, for the first time, they learned the details of this matter from the Heretical Cultivation.
He had hidden for half a month just to wait for an opportunity.
First, he cheated the trust of the Heretical Cultivation. After being discovered, he was besieged by the Heretical Cultivation. In the process of escaping, he even killed more than ten Heretical Cultivation practitioners of the same level. What kind of fierce man was he?
Just thinking about the process would send chills down the spines of those who were timid.
In Li Mu's new residence, Hu Jiu floated in the air. She looked at Li Mu emotionally and said, "Little snake, I used to think you were timid and afraid of death. I want to apologize to you. You're a real tough guy, different from those pretty Xiao Bai guys …"
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "I'm back now. In fact, I'm also afraid of death. So when I do things, I plan carefully. We snakes are cold-blooded and are born to be stealthy. The forest is my territory. If they dare to come in, they'll die …"
Hu Jiu sighed and asked, "So it's really not because of love?"
Li Mu also said seriously, "I still like beautiful women. It won't change in my life."
Hu Jiu said, "Who do you like? Tell me and I'll give up completely."
Li Mu shook his head and said, "I can't tell you."
Hu Jiu thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Is it Miss Phantom Princess?"
Li Mu didn't deny it and said, "Big Brother Hu Jiu, please help me keep it a secret."
Hu Jiu sighed and said, "I knew it. Meizong Sect, Thousand Fox City, no, the entire Demon Nation, as long as they're capable, they don't like Miss Phantom Princess. But your love is destined to be fruitless. Unless you can capture Li Mu alive and bring him to Miss Phantom Princess and become the personal disciple of the Heavenly Monarch, then you'll have a chance …"
Li Mu clenched his fist and said, "I'll work hard."
Hu Jiu left in disappointment. Li Mu closed the door and lay on the bed.
Any female, no matter if she was a woman or a female demon, would find it hard to hate someone who liked her, even if she didn't like them.
Not to mention someone like him who was handsome and loyal.
In order to complete the mission earlier, Li Mu had to use all means to win Miss Phantom's favor.
After lying down for a while, Miss Phantom's voice came from outside, "Li Mu, come here."
Li Mu didn't move immediately. Instead, he waited for Miss Phantom to call him three times before he walked out of the room. He flew over the wall and landed in another courtyard.
Miss Phantom frowned and asked, "What are you doing in the room? I've called you three times."
Li Mu said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Miss Phantom. I haven't gotten used to this new name and didn't react immediately."
Miss Phantom said, "Get used to it slowly."
She threw a token to Li Mu and said, "From now on, you're my personal guard. Wherever I go, you follow."
Li Mu stood with his chest out and said, "Yes!"
Miss Phantom said again, "Also, before you see me, you have to turn into that statue."
Li Mu touched his head and asked in confusion, "Why?"
Miss Phantom said indifferently, "There's no why. You just have to listen."
Li Mu didn't say anything else. He used his sleeves to wipe his face and quickly turned into another face.
Miss Phantom sized him up and waved her hand in the air. Li Mu's projection appeared in front of him.
Miss Phantom said, "There's still a bit of difference. Take a closer look. It's best if you can make me look exactly the same."
Li Mu revealed a troubled expression and said, "I, I will try my best …"
Two hours later.
After numerous tests, Li Mu finally turned into something that Miss Phantom was satisfied with.
Miss Phantom asked someone to bring him a set of clothes and said, "Change."
Li Mu went back to change into a new set of clothes. His original sword was broken in the battle with the Heretical Cultivation. Miss Phantom also gave him a new one. The quality was better than the original. It was at least Earth Grade.
When he stood in front of Miss Phantom again, she was stunned for a moment before she raised her hand and slashed at him.
Li Mu covered his head with his hands and said in panic, "Miss Phantom, don't!"
The short sword in Miss Phantom's hand stopped when it was just a hair's breadth away from his neck. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She smiled and said, "Although your cultivation has increased, it's because of external items. Your strength and cultivation aren't compatible. From today onwards, I will guide your cultivation every day. Now, you can use the sword in your hand to attack me."
At this moment, the way Miss Phantom looked at him made Li Mu think of the Empress.
Before she sparred with Li Mu, that was how she looked at him.
Li Mu finally knew why Miss Phantom made him like this.
She was using the excuse of guiding his cultivation to vent her anger. Although in her heart, Li Mu wasn't the Li Mu she hated, they looked the same so she felt good beating him up.
This meant that he became her scapegoat.
At this moment, Li Mu wanted to retaliate angrily, but in the next moment, he thought of Han Xin, Gou Jian, and Ultraman.
A great man knows when to yield and when not to. If you can't bear small things, you can't get a fox without entering the fox's lair …
For the Heavenly Book, for the secrets of Meizong, he endured.
Li Mu took a deep breath and looked at Miss Phantom seriously. He said, "Miss Phantom, I'm sorry!"
He stabbed with his sword and shouted, "Take this!"
The two swords in Miss Phantom's hands were replaced with two whips. She whipped Li Mu and said, "Too slow!"
"Still too slow!"
"There are too many flaws!"
"That's it?"
"How did you kill your way out of those people?"
Li Mu gritted his teeth and persevered. The Phantom Princess did not suppress her Dharmic powers at all. It was obvious that she was bullying him. However, Li Mu could only bear with it. He would remember this in his heart. Once he obtained the Heavenly Book and found out about the Meizong Sect's spy in the Fairy's Capital, he would return the whip he received today many times over.
Outside the door, Hu Jiu looked at the scene in the courtyard from afar. She shook her head and said, "Is this love?"
The fox demon beside her whispered, "How can you bully a demon like this? Miss Phantom is too much …"
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
In these few days, Li Mu accepted Miss Phantom's actions and didn't complain at all.
Although his body was humiliated, Miss Phantom would reward him with some recovery pills and various magic treasures after each session. The people of Meizong pitied him at the beginning but later on, they were only envious …
A few days later, Miss Phantom seemed to be embarrassed. Looking at the silent Li Mu, she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, I won't practice today …"
She sat on the stone bench and said, "Come and massage my shoulders …"
…
In a bathhouse in Thousand Fox City, mist lingered.
In the soundproof array, Li Mu was reporting to the Empress.
In the distant Changle Palace in Fairy's Capital, Zhou Yi, who was leaning on the dragon throne, sat up straight and said angrily, "What? She bullied you and even asked you to massage her shoulders. I didn't even let you massage me …"
Pa!
She suddenly stood up and slammed the table in front of her. The heavy wooden table was shattered into pieces. Zhou Yi's chest heaved up and down. She gritted her teeth and said, "Damn that fox, I'm so angry!"
