Seeing the cold smile on her face, Li Mu knew that he wouldn't be able to get away this time.
The sword in Yin Xin's hand, the spiritual jade in Illusion Princess's hand, and Li Mu's face changing ability. If it was just one thing, Li Mu could find a reason to get away with it, but with all of these things combined, it wasn't something that could be solved with just a coincidence.
Li Mu thought that after the little snake died, he wouldn't have to see Illusion Princess anymore and wouldn't have to worry about being exposed.
However, he didn't expect that after the little snake and Illusion Princess's fate ended, Li Mu and Illusion Princess's fate began. He would meet her no matter where he went, and each time, his identity would be exposed.
Li Mu tried to act dumb, he looked at Illusion Princess and asked, "What did you just say?"
Illusion Princess asked, "What were you doing just now?"
Li Mu explained, "I was thinking about something just now, and I heard someone say that they were rubbing shoulders. I thought it was my empress … Let me tell you, little fox. Although we're working together, you'd better show me some respect. Don't order me around like a servant."
Illusion Princess said coldly, "Act, continue acting."
Li Mu asked, "What did I act?"
Illusion Princess asked, "Do you dare to swear?"
Li Mu didn't care, "Swear what?"
Huan Ji said, "Swear to the heavens that if you are lying, then you will be struck by lightning and your Sparrow Yin Soul will dissipate forever!"
Li Mu's expression became complicated. The first half of the sentence was fine, but the second half was too vicious. He had suffered so much in order to condense the Sparrow Shade all those years ago. Even if he was beaten to death, he would not joke about his lifelong happiness.
He wanted to make Illusion Princess unconscious and wipe away her memories to solve the problem once and for all.
However, her cultivation was higher than Li Mu's, so he couldn't do that. If he used force, he might permanently hurt her.
In the end, Li Mu gave up on this idea. His voice changed as he sighed and said, "Mistress Huan Ji, why are you doing this?"
Hearing the little snake's voice from Li Mu's mouth, Illusion Princess's body trembled. Her chest rose and fell more and more heavily.
Fake, so all of this was fake.
The little snake's loyalty was fake, so was his sacrifice. She was sad for nothing. Hu Jiubai cried for nothing. From start to finish, there was no little snake. The little snake was Li Mu!
Then, Illusion Princess thought of something that made her even more ashamed.
It was the stone statue of Li Mu that she once placed in her courtyard to vent her anger.
She made the little snake look like Li Mu and ravaged him countless times. She made him massage his back and shoulders, and made him wash his feet …
. that was Li Li Mu.
After knowing that she tortured the real Li Mu, Illusion Princess didn't feel any joy in her heart. Instead, she felt ashamed.
She wasn't Li Mu's opponent. She could only use these little tricks to deceive herself and others. Moreover, it was in front of the person involved. Illusion Princess couldn't describe her current mood. Anger, happiness, shame, all kinds of emotions mixed together. Her heart was in a complete mess.
Suddenly, she finally remembered something. She looked at Li Mu and questioned, "You were the one who leaked Hu Liu's information to the Great Zhou court. So you're the traitor!"
Li Mu was silent and didn't speak.
Illusion Princess asked again, "Meizong's spy in the palace, you were the one who leaked the information!"
Li Mu continued to remain silent.
Illusion Princess gritted her teeth, "Jiujiang County …"
Li Mu explained, "It wasn't me that time in Jiujiang County. It was Bai Xuan. I just used that opportunity to fake my death and get away."
Illusion Princess took a deep breath and calmed down after a long time. She said self-deprecatingly, "So that's how it is. You went undercover in Meizong to steal their information, for the Great Zhou court …"
Li Mu shook his head and said, "Not really. It's just that my Xiao Bai lacks the cultivation method after Five Tails. I came to Jiujiang County to look for that fox demon. Later, by chance, I was brought to Thousand Fox Country by you and joined Meizong …"
Illusion Princess looked at Li Mu and suddenly said, "No wonder, no wonder you always want to comprehend the Heavenly Book. It turns out that you've been scheming against me. You carried Hu Jiu's body back. You charged in every mission to win our trust, just like how you won Bai Xuan's trust …"
At this point, all the mysteries in her heart had been solved.
She finally looked at Li Mu and said, "So you said that you're a pervert. You like me and want me to be your woman. That's also a lie you made up to hide your identity and dispel my suspicions?"
Li Mu said honestly, "I'm a pervert, but I didn't help you to make you owe me a favor and repay me with your body. It's because of the little snake. I owe you. That's my compensation to you."
"Compensation? Do you think that's compensation?" Illusion Princess pointed at her chest and asked, "You can compensate for other things, but how can you compensate for this? Do you know how sad and sad Hu Jiu was after the little snake died?"
The scene that Li Mu was most worried about still happened.
Money debts were easy to repay, but love debts were difficult to repay.
Considering the identity of the little snake, Hu Jiu and Illusion Princess had sincere feelings for him. Even if the little snake was fake, their feelings were real. At this moment, the one standing in front of Illusion Princess was not Li Mu, but the little snake named Wu Yanzu.
Illusion Princess's words were like a question to the little snake's soul.
Li Mu fell into a deep silence.
Illusion Princess finally laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "You're right. I was too naive. You're Li Mu, the most important official of the Great Zhou Empress. You're just a spy from the Great Zhou court. There was never a little snake. We've been touching ourselves all this time. I have to say that you're really good at acting. Everyone was fooled by you, including Bai Xuan now …"
Li Mu sighed. In the depths of his heart, what he was afraid of was not the embarrassment when his identity was exposed, but the disappointment when Illusion Princess and the others found out the truth.
The smile on Illusion Princess's face disappeared, and she became calm again. She said calmly, "Let's get down to business. Are you sure you can deal with that Sage Sect Elder? Although he's injured, he's still a Seventh Realm cultivator. He's not someone a Sixth Realm cultivator can deal with."
Li Mu heaved a sigh of relief and said, "It's hard to kill him, but it's enough to injure him heavily. As long as he doesn't join forces with that old wolf, Qianhu Country will be safe."
Illusion Princess nodded and said, "I understand. Leave this to me."
Li Mu asked, "What will you do?"
Illusion Princess took a deep breath and said, "Call Bai Xuan over."
Soon, Bai Xuan stepped into the room again and said in surprise, "Junior Sister, you've thought it through?"
Illusion Princess looked at him coldly and said, "If I don't agree, Huan Yun, Hu Liu, and Hu Jiu will die. Bai Xuan, you're too despicable."
Bai Xuan just smiled and said, "Whether I'm despicable or not, as long as I can marry you, I don't care what methods I use."
Illusion Princess was silent for a moment and said, "I can agree, but you have to agree to three conditions."
Bai Xuan was happy and immediately said, "Junior Sister, please tell me."
Illusion Princess said in a low voice, "First, you can only have me as your empress. You can't marry anyone else."
Bai Xuan agreed and said, "I can swear that I can only have you in my harem."
Illusion Princess continued, "Second, I want you to release Huan Yun, Hu Liu, Hu Jiu, and the elders of Meizong Sect."
Bai Xuan thought for a moment and said, "I can temporarily release Hu Jiu and Hu Liu, but Senior Brother Huan Yun's cultivation is too strong. I can't let him go. However, I can promise you that he won't be tortured in the dungeon. I'll treat him well every day. As for the other elders, I'll release them after our wedding. Is that okay?"
Illusion Princess was silent for a moment and nodded, "Okay."
Bai Xuan smiled and asked, "What's the third condition?"
Illusion Princess said, "Our wedding has to be lively. We have to invite all the demons in the city. It has to be done under the witness of the elders of Meizong Sect. We have to announce it to the Demon Country and let all the demons know …"
Bai Xuan hesitated. He could agree to most of these things, but the elders of Meizong Sect were healing and he couldn't disturb them …
Illusion Princess sneered and said, "You're not even willing to do such a simple thing for me. How dare you say you like me?"
Bai Xuan thought for a moment. He was the king of Qianhu Country and the great elder of Meizong Sect. He thought that the elder would give him some face. He finally made a decision and said, "I can agree to all of these."
Then, he looked at Illusion Princess again and said, "But Junior Sister, I've shown enough sincerity. To show your sincerity, shouldn't you give me the Heavenly Book?"
Illusion Princess stretched out her hand and a page floated in her palm and slowly flew to Bai Xuan.
Bai Xuan put away the Heavenly Book. He couldn't wait to go back and study it. He smiled and said, "Junior Sister, you can move freely in this palace, but don't go out. I'll arrange our wedding as soon as possible …"
Then, he walked out of the door and hurriedly told Li Mu to look after Illusion Princess. Then, he left and couldn't wait to go back to the palace to study the Heavenly Book.
Li Mu transmitted his voice and sighed, "Although Bai Xuan is sinister and despicable, he treats you quite well."
Illusion Princess was already in his hands. If it was someone else, they would have already forced themselves on her and wouldn't agree to so many of her conditions.
Illusion Princess sneered and said, "He's not as good as you in every aspect. But there's one thing that you'll never be as good as him."
Li Mu was not convinced and said, "What is it?"
Illusion Princess's mouth twitched and said, "He's more loyal than you."
Li Mu couldn't refute this. Illusion Princess was still angry and wouldn't let go of any opportunity to attack him. It was best to keep a distance from him. He walked into the courtyard. Not long after, he saw two people bringing Hu Jiu and Hu Liu in.
Hu Jiu quickly walked into the palace. When Hu Liu walked past Li Mu, she suddenly realized something and hugged his arm.
Li Mu subconsciously wanted to pull his arm away, but she hugged him even tighter.
Hu Liu stuck close to Li Mu and transmitted her voice, "I'm your woman now. If you want to act, act like it. If you're suspected, all your efforts will be wasted …"
The two small monsters outside the palace looked at Li Mu with envy.
Hu Jiu turned around and said coldly, "Cheating couple!"
