In the eyes of Illusion Princess and Hu Jiu, Li Mu was just a lecher. He might as well admit it so that his image would not collapse.
After striking Hu Jiu a few times, Li Mu said to Illusion Princess, "You can choose not to admit it, as long as you feel good about it."
Illusion Princess snorted and said, "I'm not that stupid fox in your house. I'll repay what I owe you in the future. You want me to repay you with my body? Dream on …"
Li Mu shrugged and didn't want to argue with her anymore.
As long as she did not think that Li Mu was Little Snake, nothing else mattered.
He walked into the prison and saw that the Jiujiang Commandery Prince was still alive. It would not affect his return to the Fairy's Capital.
There were many human women imprisoned by the Jiujiang Commandery Prince and his followers. Li Mu had already ordered the local government to contact their families. Illusion Princess, Hu Jiu, and Hu Jiu were healing some demons. Many female demons were used as cultivation furnaces. They were recklessly harvested and damaged their foundation.
Li Mu wanted to help, but these demons were very resistant to humans. He could only watch from the side.
The matter of the Jiujiang Commandery Prince was over. General Liu also left the city and returned to the army.
The Jiujiang Commandery Prince walked to Li Mu and said, "Lord Li, we've contacted most of the victims' families. Some of them did not have families and refused the government's arrangements. They wanted to follow the fox demon …"
Li Mu sighed and said, "Let them make their own decisions."
After going through such a thing, it was hard for them to have any good feelings towards the government. They had not gone through their sufferings and had no right to interfere with their decisions.
The Jiujiang Commandery Prince's Mansion was temporarily used to house the victims. Illusion Princess was healing them, but her mana was limited. Soon, she overdrew her mana and was forcefully helped by Hu Liu to a room to rest.
When Li Mu walked into the room, she was lying on the table and sleeping soundly. She was holding two spiritual jades in her hand to recover her mana.
Li Mu let out a sigh of relief. Now, this matter was finally over.
From then on, there was no more Little Snake Wu Yanzu. There was only the Great Zhou's Li Mu.
He turned around and left. When he reached the door, the sleeping Phantom Princess murmured, "Little snake, don't go. Help me rub my shoulders. I'm so tired …"
Li Mu paused for a moment. After a long silence, he sighed.
…
When Huan Ji woke up, her eyes were a little dazed.
In her dream, she vaguely felt a pair of hands gently kneading her shoulders. It was very comfortable. When she woke up, there was nothing behind her. This made her suspect that it was an illusion.
Hu Liu walked in from outside and said, "Master Illusion Princess, you're awake …"
Illusion Princess asked, "Who just came in?"
Hu Liu snorted and said, "That blind man!"
Illusion Princess knew that she was talking about Li Mu. She then realized that this pervert didn't take advantage of her while she was sleeping, right?
She didn't know if he had touched any other places besides her shoulders. Fantasy Princess lowered her head to look at her chest and then turned back to look at her round and perky breasts. She couldn't remember if anyone had touched her there before.
She stood up and asked angrily, "Where is he?"
Hu Liu said, "He left."
Illusion Princess was stunned and asked, "Where did he go?"
"He should have returned to the Great Zhou's Shen 'du." Hu Liu's expression was a little complicated, "When he left, he said that the Jiujiang County King's matter was the imperial court's fault. So, Master Illusion Princess doesn't owe him anything and doesn't need to repay him with your body …"
Illusion Princess snorted and said, "In his dreams. Who said I was going to repay him with my body?"
Hu Liu said, "Also, before he left, he asked the Jiujiang County King's officials to escort us back. This is the first time I've seen a human like this. Is he doing all this just because he wants Master Illusion Princess's body?"
Illusion Princess didn't want to think about this and said, "Let Hu Jiu prepare. Let's go back. I don't want to stay here for another minute …"
…
After leaving Jiujiang County, Li Mu buried everything that happened in the past few months in his heart. He didn't want to mention it to anyone.
He wanted to return to Mount Baiyun and tell Xiao Bai the cultivation method of the fox race. Then, he wanted to spend some time with Liu Hanyan and Li Qing. He hoped that they weren't in seclusion.
Just as he rose into the air, two figures blocked his path.
Li Mu glanced at the two high priests and asked, "What are you doing?"
One high priest said, "Her Majesty ordered that Master Li must return to the Shen 'du immediately after dealing with Jiujiang County King's matter."
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "You guys go back first. I'll be back soon. I need to go back to Mount Baiyun first …"
The two high priests didn't move.
Li Mu frowned and said, "What is the meaning of this?"
The other high priest said, "We can't go against Her Majesty's orders. Master Li, please excuse us …"
"What are you doing?"
"Are you rebelling?"
"Don't come over. Do you still want your Heavenly Secret Talisman …"
"At least let me pick someone up!"
…
Li Mu tried his best to persuade the two old men to let him go back to Mount Baiyun to pick up Wanwan and Xiao Bai. As for the idea of spending some time with Liu Hanyan and Li Qing, it was ruined.
However, the two of them were in seclusion, so Li Mu didn't feel that it was a pity.
The two girls' current cultivation bases weren't achieved step by step. As the core disciples of Fu-lu School and the future head of the school, they had a lot of homework to catch up on in the next few years.
Poor Li Mu was no longer a single dog, but he was still living the life of a single dog.
Fortunately, he had a strong will. Normal men wouldn't be able to resist the temptation of cat girls, rabbit girls, beautiful fox demons, and clingy snake girls. They would've been persuaded by Hu Jiu to betray him …
In a sense, Li Mu and the Empress were both pitiful people. One of them had a husband who died a long time ago, while the other was separated from his wife. If it weren't for their status and self-control, who knew what kind of sparks would fly between them after spending so much time together?
Xiao Bai had already started cultivating according to the new method. On the flying boat to the Divine Capital, Li Mu looked at Wanwan and Xiao Bai, who was laughing and playing with each other. He couldn't help but think of Phantom Princess and the days when he was undercover in Thousand Fox Nation.
There were no conspiracies, no schemes, and no schemes. Those were the days he missed …
Thousand Fox Nation.
Phantom Princess spent a few days settling down the demons and human female cultivators she rescued from Jiujiang County. Then, she dragged her exhausted body back to her residence.
Her magic power and body were overused. Even with her cultivation base, she felt physically and mentally exhausted at this moment.
It was already late at night. She walked to her courtyard and sat on a stone chair. She said subconsciously, "Little snake, come and help me massage my back …"
There was no response for a long time. Phantom Princess said again, "Little …"
Her voice gradually trailed off and finally disappeared completely. Only a long sigh was left in the silent courtyard.
At the same time, in Thousand Fox Nation's imperial palace.
Bai Xuan was pacing in his palace with a displeased expression. He snorted coldly, "I thought the Duke of Jiujiang was powerful. He's simply a piece of trash among trash. He let them escape …"
A servant behind him said, "I've already asked around. If it wasn't for that damn snake, Hu Jiu and the others wouldn't have survived this time."
Bai Xuan said, "I've long disliked that snake. It's good that he's dead. Next time, no one will ruin our plans. However, if Junior Sister dies like this, it'll be a pity. The heavenly fox bloodline in her body is so thick that even Master can't compare to it. If I can dual cultivate with her, it'll be very beneficial for me …"
He tidied up his clothes and smiled. "She almost died this time. As her Senior Brother, I should go and see her."
Phantom Princess Residence.
Phantom Princess sat in the courtyard and said lightly, "I'm fine. Crown Prince, please go back. I need to rest."
Bai Xuan stood outside the courtyard and said, "Junior Sister, rest well. I'll go back first."
He didn't even step into the courtyard. Bai Xuan returned to the palace with a gloomy face. When he returned to his bedroom, he saw a black figure standing in the hall.
His expression immediately became respectful. He bowed and said, "Envoy, what are your orders?"
The black figure asked eerily, "You should know where Heaven Lord of Illusion is in seclusion, right?"
Bai Xuan's eyelids twitched. He quickly smiled and said, "This seclusion is very important to him. Although he didn't tell me the exact location, there are only a few. If I search one by one, I'll find it …"
