Before Li Mu could finish, Zhou Zhong asked directly, "Are you talking about the Shen Kingdom?"
Li Mu nodded and said, "Yes, it's the Shen Kingdom."
Zhou Zhong rubbed the teacup with his fingers and said lightly, "The Shen Kingdom is already a mature country. It's not possible for one person to change such a country."
Li Mu said, "Just tell me what you need. The Great Zhou will try its best to satisfy you. The Thousand Fox Country can also help."
Zhou Zhong glanced at him and asked, "Can you represent the Great Zhou and the Thousand Fox Country?"
Li Mu said, "You don't have to worry about that. This is a win-win situation. You can be promoted, and the Great Zhou can be free of the Shen Kingdom's troubles. Why not?"
The two looked at each other. Silence was better than a thousand words.
Two hours later, several figures flew out of the valley. Li Mu rode the white dragon, and the two demon corpses carried Xiong Three and Ying Si. They flew in the direction of the Thousand Fox Country.
No one was more suitable than Zhou Zhong to lead the people of the Shen Kingdom to freedom and liberation. He needed to be promoted, but it was difficult to do it alone. Li Mu had his own ideas, and he only needed a reliable tool to work for him. The two of them hit it off immediately.
When Li Mu approached the Thousand Fox City, a white shadow suddenly flew out of the city. Then, the shadow of a fox tail attacked Li Mu.
Li Mu raised his hand and grabbed at the fox tail. A huge palm print appeared in the void and grabbed at the fox tail.
When the two collided, Li Mu's palm print collapsed. However, the fox tail's momentum did not decrease and continued to attack him. Li Mu formed another seal and summoned a barrier to block the fox tail's attack.
However, in the next moment, a white shadow flew up from the Thousand Fox City and hit Li Mu.
Li Mu's body was sent flying. He hurriedly dealt with the attack of the Phantom Princess and said, "Are you crazy?"
Phantom Princess did not respond at all. She held two short swords in her hands and continued to approach Li Mu.
It was only then that Li Mu realized that something was off. Her strength had increased too much since the last time they met. Based on what she was displaying now, she had definitely surpassed the fifth level. When she launched another fox tail attack, Li Mu looked at her butt and indeed found six fox tails.
She had already become a six-tailed beast.
No wonder she attacked him the moment she saw him. She probably wanted to get back at him. Li Mu struggled to deal with her. If he did not use his mystiques and spells and did not use his dao bell, he was naturally no match for a Sixth Realm cultivator. However, he could not use powerful dao techniques like the Demon-Slaying Protection Curse on Phantom Princess.
Li Mu's heart moved, and two demon corpses appeared in front of Phantom Princess. Li Mu took the opportunity to say, "I already know that you have advanced, it's about time …"
Phantom Princess did not continue to pester Li Mu. She stopped while she was ahead. She floated in the air and asked Li Mu, "Are you here for me?"
To prevent her from making a fuss, Li Mu nodded and said, "I lost contact with the two demon corpses not long ago. I was worried that something happened to you, so I came to take a look."
Phantom Princess looked at him and said suspiciously, "But Hu Jiu said that you did not let them call me out."
Li Mu glanced at Hu Jiu below and explained, "I was worried that it would affect your cultivation. Speaking of which, how did you reach the sixth level so quickly?"
Phantom Princess was unconvinced. "So what? Zhou Yi is still at the seventh level. You are not curious about her, but why are you curious about me?"
Li Mu just wanted to change the topic and asked casually. She was already at the peak of the fifth level. Now that she was the empress of a country, she could enjoy the Psychic Power of thousands of demon corpses. She also had the foundation that Thousand Fox Country had accumulated for many years. Growing another tail was just a piece of cake for her.
He did not expect that she would drag the empress into everything. Fortunately, the empress was not here. Otherwise, the two of them would probably fight again. Li Mu did not reply to her and flew to the square in front of the palace.
Phantom Princess also flew down. At this time, Ao Cheng Xin flew over impatiently. She looked at Phantom Princess and asked Li Mu, "Is this my master for the next three years?"
Phantom Princess looked at the girl with dragon horns on her head and asked, "What master?"
Li Mu's eyelids twitched. He waved his hand at Cheng Xin and said, "What master? I don't even know what you are talking about. Go play by yourself first. I will call you when we go back."
Phantom Princess grabbed Cheng Xin's wrist and brought her to the side. She asked, "What do you mean by what you said just now?"
Li Mu glared at Cheng Xin and took the initiative to explain, "This dragon has committed a serious crime. I captured her and brought her back to be Her Majesty's mount."
Phantom Princess snorted and said bitterly, "You keep saying 'Your Majesty' and giving her everything. Are you as good to your wife as you are to Zhou Yi?"
Li Mu looked at her and said, "You heartless fox. You know who I am the best to. This dragon is only at the fifth level. How many things have I given you? Two seventh level, eight sixth level, a page of the Heavenly Book, and countless pills. Touch your conscience — do you have a conscience?"
Li Mu took the initiative after the attack. Phantom Princess was speechless.
He did not stop there. Instead, he took the opportunity to fling his sleeve and said with great disappointment, "I gave you everything I have, and you actually said such things. You have disappointed me too much. Cheng Xin, let's go …"
After that, he turned into a stream of light and flew straight into the sky.
Li Mu had a wishful thinking in his heart. If Phantom Princess did not chase after him, it would be good. He would directly return to the South Commandery. This was his plan from the beginning. In the past, her strength was not as good as his, and Li Mu had taken advantage of her a lot. This time, her cultivation had finally surpassed Li Mu's. With the fox's vengeful personality, he would definitely suffer if he stayed here.
However, his wishful thinking fell through in the end.
Phantom Princess was faster than him. She stretched out her hands, puffed out her chest, and blocked in front of Li Mu. She whispered, "I was wrong. Don't go …"
Li Mu looked at her. He did not know whether to leave or not.
In the end, he flew back. Zhou Zhong still had a few days to take care of the small country. It was fine for him to stay in Thousand Fox Country for a few days, as long as the Empress did not know.
As soon as Li Mu returned to the Imperial Palace, the spiritual snail in his storage space began to ring. Perhaps it was because of a premonition.
Li Mu made a silent gesture to Phantom Princess. Then, he picked up the spirit snail and said, "Your Majesty."
It was very lively on the other side of the spirit snail. Li Mu heard the voices of Zhong Ling, Xiao Bai, and Wanwan at the same time. The Empress was obviously in the Li Residence.
In the courtyard of the Li Residence, Zhou Yi held the spirit snail and asked, "Didn't you say that the matter in the South Commandery has been resolved and you will be back soon? Why aren't you back yet? Ling 'er misses you …"
Li Mu coughed lightly and said, "Regarding the matter of the Shen Kingdom, I have some ideas. If it succeeds, perhaps the Great Zhou will never be disturbed by the Shen Kingdom again …"
Zhou Yi was silent for a while. Then, she said, "Be careful. If you need anything, tell me."
Although she, like Ling 'er, hoped that Li Mu would come back soon, she also knew that what he was doing now was beneficial to the country and the people. It was related to the Great Zhou and the gathering of the Emperor's Qi in the ancestral temple. It was not the time for her to be willful.
Li Mu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. After I'm done here, I'll return soon."
"Cough, cough!"
Phantom Princess suddenly covered her mouth and coughed a few times. Then, she apologized to Li Mu, "I'm sorry, my throat is a little uncomfortable …"
Li Mu could clearly feel that the Empress's breathing had become faster.
She asked in a deep voice, "Where are you?"
Li Mu said honestly, "The Yao Kingdom …"
Zhou Yi took a deep breath and asked, "The Shen Kingdom is south of the South Commandery. The Yao Kingdom is north of the North Commandery. Are you going to the Yao Kingdom to quell the chaos in the Shen Kingdom?"
Li Mu quickly said, "Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation."
Zhou Yi said coldly, "Explanation? You should be in the South Commandery, but now you're in the Yao Kingdom. How do you want to explain this? How about I help you make up an excuse? You were originally in the South Commandery. Through the demon corpse you gave to the fox spirit, you sensed that she was in danger. Then, you crossed the entire Great Zhou to see that fox spirit?"
Li Mu's lips moved. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
Phantom Princess walked to Li Mu's side and said to the spirit conch, "This is the truth. If you don't believe me, there's nothing we can do …"
