In the end, Li Mu was forced by the little green snake to do it again.
Then he lay on the grass and did not want to move anymore.
The White Demon King couple were rather content. They wandered the world and lived the life Li Mu wanted to live, but they gave their daughter to him. Li Mu not only had to take care of their food and clothing, he also had to worry about their cultivation.
Fortunately, Bai Tingxin finally remembered this last time and began to cultivate according to the new heart sutra like her sister.
The two sisters sat cross-legged on the grass with their eyes closed, but their faces gradually revealed a shocked expression.
They could clearly feel that the surrounding spiritual qi of the world was surging into their bodies at an extremely fast speed. It was several times faster than their usual cultivation speed.
This meant that their cultivation speed in the future would also increase by several times.
This kind of heart sutra seemed to be tailor-made for the Snake Race.
After circulating her mana for a cycle, Bai Tingxin opened her eyes and stared straight at Li Mu. She asked, "Uncle, are you a snake like us?"
Other than the Snake Race, she could not think of anyone else who could create this kind of cultivation heart sutra.
Li Mu knocked her head. "What are you talking about? Impudent."
Bai Tingxin gently twisted her body and slid to Li Mu's side. She bit her lower lip and said softly, "I was wrong …"
Li Mu got up from the grass and said, "You two take your time cultivating. I still have things to do. If there's anything you don't understand, ask me."
Before Bai Tingxin slid into his arms, Li Mu hurriedly left the courtyard.
She used to be angry with tea. After not seeing her for such a long time, her anger had gotten worse. Moreover, she was intentionally or unintentionally teasing him. Li Mu had to be on guard against her.
Different from her sister, this green snake did not care about the things that humans did. What etiquette, what shame, what forbidden love, she probably did not have such awareness at all.
Early the next morning, Li Mu arrived at the Changle Palace. The Secretariat had already drafted the memorial establishing the Great Zhou Demon Registry. Furthermore, it had been reviewed and approved by the sect. In the end, as long as the Empress' Jade Seal was stamped, it could be handed over to the Secretariat for specific implementation.
Inside the hall, Mr. Mei looked at Li Mu and asked, "What did you do yesterday? Why are you so pale and weak?"
Li Mu sighed and said, "Don't mention it, the two snakes at home are too clingy. Yesterday my mana was drained by them and I almost couldn't get out of bed in the morning …"
Zhou Yi and Shangguan Li, who were reading, suddenly looked at Li Mu.
Mr. Mei was both embarrassed and angry. He said, "Bastard, this is His Majesty's bedchamber. Don't say anything!"
Li Mu explained, "Yesterday I taught them a new cultivation method and helped them cultivate more than ten times. My mana and energy were all exhausted … What were you thinking?"
Mr. Mei was stunned. "So that's what happened …"
Li Mu asked in return, "What did you think it was?"
Mr. Mei said awkwardly, "I thought so too …"
On the side, Zhou Yi and Shangguan Li also retracted their gazes.
Li Mu only just realized that although he was just stating facts, if someone's mind was filled with nonsense all day long, it was easy to create ambiguity.
However, he did not expect that the Empress, Mr. Mei, and Shangguan Li, these three people's bodies were purer than the other, but their minds were dirtier than the other. What were they thinking in their minds just now? They were all red in the face and ears. The Empress' neck was even covered with a light pink color.
After this small episode, the atmosphere of the entire Changle Palace became awkward.
The three people's eyes kept glancing at Li Mu. Li Mu felt uncomfortable all over. After reading a few memorials, he said to the Empress, "Your Majesty, I'm not feeling well today. I'll go back first."
Zhou Yi nodded and said, "Go ahead."
As soon as Li Mu left, Mr. Mei complained, "He didn't say it clearly. How would I know what he meant? There's a new mistress in his house. I thought he kidnapped two snakes from somewhere …"
Shangguan Li glanced at her and said, "There's nothing wrong with what he said. It's your mind that's not pure."
Mr. Mei looked at her and asked, "Your mind is pure. If your mind is pure, why are you blushing?"
Shangguan Li was speechless for a moment. She explained, "My, my face is already red. Besides, Your Majesty is blushing too …"
Zhou Yi stood up and said, "Changle Palace is a bit hot. I'll go take a walk in the imperial garden."
After returning home, there was nothing to do. Li Mu was bored, so he checked on the cultivation of the girls.
Wanwan didn't care about cultivation. She mainly focused on eating, playing, and cultivating. Xiao Bai wanted to become stronger and find the enemy who killed Granny to avenge her. She looked like she was eating and playing with Wanwan, but she was actually cultivating seriously in private.
If she didn't take the initiative, no matter how much resources Li Mu provided her, she wouldn't have been able to reach the fifth level so quickly.
Li Mu would remind them about their cultivation every few days. The new Bai sisters were the ones that Li Mu had to pay more attention to recently.
They had changed their cultivation methods. At the beginning of their cultivation, they would definitely encounter many problems.
In addition to the cultivation method, Li Mu also taught them a few powerful Snake Clan Abhijina.
Snakes were cold-blooded and were naturally good at hiding. At the same time, they were very sensitive to heat and smells. They were also natural tracking experts. In addition, the Snake Clan's poison techniques were something that even high-level cultivators would be wary of.
Although the two sisters looked sweet, they were actually more poisonous than the other.
In the natural world, the more beautiful an animal or plant was, the more likely it was to be poisonous. Li Mu didn't forget that Wu Bo was almost poisoned to death by Yinxin. If he was really poisoned, other than antidote pills, any Fu-lu talisman would be useless.
As a human, Li Mu could learn about fifty to sixty percent of some Demon Clan Abhijina. However, even if he was squeezed dry, he wouldn't be able to squeeze out a drop of poison.
However, this didn't mean that Li Mu couldn't teach them.
In terms of theoretical knowledge, he wasn't afraid of anyone. Li Mu was teaching them how to turn the poison into a mist and then condense it into a poison arrow to cause an area attack. Bai Yinxin learned quickly. In just an hour, she was already very proficient.
Li Mu walked to Bai Tingxin and said, "It's your turn. Go all out and attack me with the spell I just taught you."
Bai Tingxin shook her head and said, "But what if I hurt Uncle?"
Li Mu glanced at her and said, "I won't blame you even if you hurt me. If you can hurt me, I can promise you one more thing."
Bai Tingxin said excitedly, "You said it. Pinky swear!"
Li Mu stretched out his little finger and hooked it with her white finger. Bai Tingxin retreated to the side and spat out a cloud of poison mist from her mouth. Soon, it surrounded Li Mu. In the poison mist, one couldn't see anything in front of them.
Whoosh!
An undetectable sound of wind breaking came from the poison mist.
Li Mu slightly leaned his body and dodged a poison arrow.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the poison mist, poison arrows were constantly shot from all directions. Li Mu tilted his head and lifted his feet to dodge the poison needles. He always locked onto a breath in the poison mist.
At a certain moment, when several poison arrows were shot, Li Mu's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot. He appeared beside the breath and stretched out his hand to grab it.
A long object was caught in Li Mu's hand.
Then, a trace of doubt appeared in Li Mu's eyes.
Even if she revealed her true form, it wouldn't be so thin and hard.
Li Mu withdrew his hand and found that he was holding the sword he gave Bai Tingxin. Her emerald green shirt was hanging on the sword.
Then, a head quietly appeared beside his wrist and gently bit his wrist.
Li Mu felt a sharp pain in his wrist. Then, his whole body began to feel numb. His legs went soft and he fell into Bai Tingxin's arms.
Bai Tingxin hugged him and said with a smile, "Uncle, I won."
Li Mu never thought that he would be pecked in the eye by a wild goose all day long. He played with snakes all day long and finally got his wrist bitten by a snake.
Bai Tingxin was smart enough to use the Concealment Technique he taught her to hide her breath. With the cover of the poison mist, she deceived Li Mu. Then, when he thought that victory was in his hands, she gave him the final blow.
This time, Li Mu was indeed careless.
On the one hand, he underestimated the enemy too much. Now, even if he was facing a powerhouse in Dongxuan, as long as he hadn't been in Dongxuan for many years or was half a step into the Upper Realm like the slovenly Taoist priest, he could fight. He didn't believe that he would fall in the hands of a little snake demon who had just condensed a Monster Core.
On the other hand, she was Li Mu's niece. Li Mu's trust in her made him not treat her as a real enemy.
Various reasons caused him to fail in front of the two sisters and lose face. Now, he was still lying in Bai Tingxin's arms.
Li Mu suppressed the snake venom with his magic power and stood up. Just as he was about to throw an antidote into his mouth, he was stopped by Bai Tingxin.
She grabbed Li Mu's wrist and said, "The antidote can't be removed completely. Let me help you."
Li Mu asked, "How are you going to remove it?"
Bai Tingxin licked her red lips and a trace of shyness appeared in her eyes. She said, "My saliva can be removed. I'll feed you …"
Li Mu shook off her hand and said, "It's just snake venom. How can it stump me? I'll force it out myself."
With that, he strode to his room.
Bai Yinxin looked at her sister with dissatisfaction and said, "Tingxin, you're too much. How can you bite him?"
"Why? Are you heartbroken?" Bai Tingxin rolled her eyes and said, "He asked me to do my best. Besides, I wanted to detoxify him, but he didn't let me …"
"You're still talking!"
Bai Tingxin retracted her head. Most of the time, she was still afraid of her sister. Her voice was no longer as confident as before. She whispered, "He won't eat my saliva. I'll let him drink my blood, okay?"
In the room, Li Mu sat cross-legged on the bed with a worried look on his face.
He didn't know if it was because she had the bloodline of the dragon race, but the snake venom was so overbearing. Although it couldn't do anything to Li Mu, Li Mu had a hard time removing it. Even if he used an antidote, there would still be residual poison. It would take him at least a few days to remove it.
There was a knock on the door. Bai Tingxin said, "Uncle, I'm here to detoxify you. If you don't want to use your saliva, you can use something else …"
Li Mu had already said that. If he compromised now, his dignity as an elder would be gone. How could he discipline them in the future?
He said faintly, "No need. I'll remove all the poison in 15 minutes at most. You can continue to cultivate."
Bai Tingxin said, "Oh," and left in disappointment.
Li Mu got down from the bed. He knew the Four Heavenly Books and knew more about the snake race than any snake in the world. How could he be helpless against the poison of a small green snake?
A moment later.
In the Imperial Garden of the palace.
Li Mu looked at the Empress awkwardly and said, "Your Majesty, I was bitten by a snake …"
Zhou Yi frowned and said, "The two snakes in your house?"
Li Mu said, "She was careless. The snake venom is very overbearing. I can't remove it in a short time, so I came to Your Majesty."
Zhou Qiong was deep in thought. She was wondering under what circumstances Li Mu would be bitten by the snake demon at home. Where was he hurt? Was it his tongue or some other place …
She looked at Li Mu and asked, "Where are you hurt?"
Li Mu pulled up his sleeves, revealing two rows of small wounds on his wrists.
Zhou Yi's face relaxed a little and said faintly, "Give me your hand."
Li Mu reached out his hand. Zhou Yi held his hand. Li Mu felt a majestic mana invading his body. A few drops of white liquid flew out from the wound. At the same time, the discomfort in his body disappeared completely.
After removing the snake venom from his body, Li Mu returned home quietly. Xiao Bai, Wanwan, and the sisters Yinxin and Tingxin were playing cards in the yard. Li Mu turned invisible and swaggered across the yard.
Li Mu could use ordinary invisibility in front of them. With their cultivation, they couldn't find him at all.
Bai Tingxin played a card, then looked at Wanwan and said, "Wanwan, it's your turn."
"Oh, oh …" Wanwan came back to her senses and saw Bai Tingxin's card. She pushed down her own card and said, "I won …"
Li Mu went through the wall and returned to the room. He tidied up his clothes, opened the door, and walked back to the front yard.
Bai Tingxin had lost several times in a row and had long wanted to find an excuse to slip away. When she saw Li Mu walk out of the room, she immediately trotted over and looked around him. She said disappointedly, "You really solved it …"
Li Mu glanced at her and asked, "You seem very disappointed?"
Bai Tingxin's gaze wandered and she smiled guiltily, "No, how could I …"
She quickly looked at Li Mu again and asked, "You said that if I can beat you, you will agree to one of my conditions. Does it still count?"
Li Mu nodded and said, "Of course it counts."
Bai Tingxin said, "Then I'm going to say it now."
Li Mu was already prepared to lose a lot of money. He said, "Say it."
Bai Tingxin said, "Marry me."
In the courtyard, Bai Yinxin was speechless. Wanwan and Xiao Bai stood up nervously.
Li Mu thought he heard wrong and asked again, "What did you say?"
Bai Tingxin said, "Marry me."
Li Mu said, "This joke is not funny."
Bai Tingxin said with a serious face, "I'm not joking."
Li Mu also became serious, "I'm your uncle. If you do this again, I'll tell your father."
Bai Tingxin was not worried at all and said, "Tell him. My father said that love should be free and should not care about the prejudice of the world. When he was with my mother, everyone was against it, but they still got together. Moreover, they have us. He often encourages us. We are demons, so we don't care about the things of humans. He doesn't care if you call him Big Brother or Father-in-law …"
Like father, like daughter. Li Mu finally knew why Bai Tingxin's personality was like that.
He could no longer persuade her from an ethical point of view. He thought about it and said, "But I already have a wife."
Bai Tingxin pointed at Wanwan and Xiao Bai who were not far away and said, "You still have them. This is not your excuse …"
Li Mu opened his mouth and finally looked at Bai Yinxin and said helplessly, "You have to control your sister …"
