After thinking for a long time, Xuan Jizi looked at Li Mu and said solemnly, "How about I give up my position earlier? I believe that under your leadership, F Lu School will become better and better."
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "My cultivation is low and not enough to convince the others. Senior Brother, you should be the headmaster for now."
As a member of the F Lu School, the F Lu School had treated him well and had even given him the treasure of the school. Even if he had to spend a lot of precious resources and could only help the two Taishang Elders live for another three years, Li Mu would not hesitate.
Although asking the Empress and Phantom Princess for help was a bit of a freeloader, if the Empress was willing, Li Mu could be hers and there was no need to be so calculative.
As for Phantom Princess, Li Mu had helped her so many times, so it would not be too much for her to help Li Mu once, right?
The Empress said that after the materials were gathered, she would have Mr. Mei send it over. Li Mu did not think about it earlier and only now realized that he needed the help of a level-seven primordial spirit to write the F Lu. If Mr. Mei sent it over, wouldn't he be possessed by Xuan Jizi again?
If he had a choice, of course he would want the Empress to possess him.
So Li Mu took out the spirit snail again and told the Empress that there was no need to trouble Mr. Mei to make another trip. He would go back to Shen 'du to write the talisman himself.
Before that, he had to go to the Yao Kingdom.
Liu Hanyan and Li Qing stayed in the sect for the time being. Although the Empress had already reserved the Emperor's Qi for them, not everyone could be like the Empress, who could rely on the Emperor's Qi to reach level-seven when they were only level-five.
Before her, the Xiao Royal Clan had used large amounts of resources to forcefully push the Emperor or the Crown Prince to the Sixth Realm for safety reasons. Only then would they begin to inherit the Emperor's Qi. The two Grand Supreme Elders' Seventh Realm cultivations were so majestic that even if only a tenth of their Qi remained, they could still forcefully push the Creation Realm cultivator to the Seethrough Realm.
In the history of Fu-lu School, quite a few heads had been promoted this way.
Although the two Grand Shang Elders had the intention of passing on their power to Liu Hanyan and Li Qing, Li Mu still did his best to do what he should do as a disciple of the Fu-lu School.
The North County was not far from the Demon Nation. After a few hours, Li Mu had already appeared in the Thousand Fox Nation.
Phantom Princess had already told Fox Six to prepare the herbs that Li Mu needed. She asked Li Mu, "Is this enough? If it's not enough, you can go to the treasury and pick."
"Enough, enough."
Li Mu waved his big sleeve, and the pile of spirit herbs disappeared on the spot.
He looked at Illusion Princess and said, "Thank you."
Huan Ji rolled her eyes and said, "Why are you being so polite with me?"
Li Mu said, "These things are very important to me. It's all thanks to you. Continue with your work. I'll go back first."
Before he could fly up, Illusion Princess grabbed his wrist. She frowned and looked at him. She said, "You want to leave after taking things? How can there be someone like you? Also, it's already dark. Can't you stay for a night before leaving?"
Li Mu thought about it carefully and realized that it was not very good for him to do this.
After taking such precious things, what was the difference between saying thank you and those scumbags who took a girl's body and ran away? He looked at the completely dark sky and said, "Then I'll sleep for a night."
It was Li Mu's room in the harem. Phantom Princess had Fox Six bring in a few dishes. Li Mu had not eaten all day, but just as he picked up his chopsticks, the Empress's spirit snail vibrated again.
Li Mu made a shushing gesture to Phantom Princess and then picked up the spirit snail. The Empress asked from the other side, "Have you eaten?"
Just this one sentence showed that their relationship was not the same as before. The Empress used to use the spirit snail to summon him, and she would always find some excuse, such as discussing national affairs or giving advice on cultivation.
But now, she was so direct. With the Empress's personality, what was the difference between "Have you eaten" and "I miss you?"
It seemed that his strategy for the Empress was starting to work. Li Mu smiled and said, "I'm eating."
Phantom Princess suddenly felt that her throat was uncomfortable again. She covered her mouth and coughed a few times.
"Cough, cough."
The Empress's voice changed immediately. "Didn't you say that something happened at Fu-lu School and you secretly went to see that fox spirit again?"
Li Mu explained, "Your Majesty misunderstood. I only came to Thousand Fox Country to get some spirit medicine to make the Talisman Liquid for the Talisman of Tianji. Tomorrow morning, I will leave for Shen 'du."
Zhou Yi whispered, "I didn't give you enough. You still need to find that fox …"
Phantom Princess snorted and said, "Unfortunately, I don't have anything here, but I have a lot of spirit medicine. If you don't have any more spirit medicine, come find me …"
Zhou Yi directly asked Li Mu, "When is that fox leaving? I want to talk to you alone."
Phantom Princess said unhappily, "You're the one who interrupted our meal. You should be the one leaving."
Li Mu was in a dilemma. He had taken both the Empress and Phantom Princess's gifts, so no matter which one he sided with, he would be letting the other down. He put down his chopsticks and said, "I have been running around for two days. I want to rest. Phantom Princess, you can go back first. Her Majesty should rest early too …"
Phantom Princess heard this and could only leave.
After she left, Li Mu took out the spirit snail again and whispered, "Your Majesty, she left."
Zhou Yi said unhappily, "I told you to stop looking for that fox. You didn't listen to me. She doesn't have good intentions towards you …"
Li Mu said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I will be careful."
Without Phantom Princess's interruption, Li Mu and Queen's conversation became more casual. They talked about how they would live in seclusion in the fields and grow vegetables. At this time, Li Mu did not notice that compared to the last time he slept here, there was an extra decorative clam shell at the head of his bed.
At the head of Phantom Princess's bed, there was also a clam shell that looked exactly the same.
At this moment, she was sitting at the bedside and listening to the sound coming from the clam shell.
However, the more she listened, the deeper her frown became. Li Mu and Zhou Qiong had actually decided to grow flowers and vegetables together in the future. What was their relationship? Could it be that Zhou Qiong had already obtained the advantage of being in a favorable position and had gotten Li Mu first?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. When there was no sound coming from the clam shell, she immediately went back to the harem.
Li Mu had just finished chatting with the Empress and was about to eat when Phantom Princess pushed the door open again. The Empress probably wouldn't call again tonight. Li Mu looked at her and asked, "Do you want to eat together?"
Phantom Princess sat down across from Li Mu and asked in a low voice, "Tell me honestly, what are your thoughts towards Zhou Yi?"
Li Mu thought for a long time and didn't plan to lie to her. He said, "It's the thought of growing feelings over time."
Phantom Princess said angrily, "How can you face your wife?"
Li Mu said, "My wife has already agreed."
"What?" Phantom Princess was shocked. "Liu Hanyan agreed to the matter between you and Zhou Yi. Is she crazy?"
Li Mu didn't answer, and Phantom Princess didn't need him to answer. She looked at Li Mu and asked, "You have feelings for Zhou Yi over time. Then what are your feelings for me? You know that the Heavenly Fox Clan will repay kindness, but you are still so good to me. You have given me a favor that I can't repay in my lifetime. What am I in your heart?"
Phantom Princess's expression was serious. Li Mu couldn't beat around the bush like before.
The premise of growing feelings over time was to spend time with her. He and Phantom Princess didn't have long experiences together. During the longest time they spent together, he was the little snake and she was Lord Phantom Princess. No matter if it was Li Mu or her, they didn't have any feelings for each other.
Now, the relationship between the two of them was that of the little snake and Lord Phantom Princess, that of the State Preceptor and the Queen, that of the Six-Tailed Celestial Fox and her benefactor. Their different identities were intertwined, and even Li Mu himself did not know what their relationship was.
Phantom Princess naturally had an important place in his heart. But how important was it? Li Mu couldn't explain it with words.
Li Mu walked to her side, grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest. He said, "I don't know either. Why don't you feel it for yourself?"
Since he couldn't describe it with words, he would let her feel it for herself.
Phantom Princess placed her hand on Li Mu's chest. She could clearly feel his emotions. She didn't know how to describe it. The only thing she knew was that she was very important in Li Mu's heart.
She grabbed Li Mu's hand and placed it on her chest. She said, "Feel it too."
Other than the fullness, Li Mu also felt a love that could drown him. This was Phantom Princess's feelings for him. Phantom Princess looked at Li Mu and said, "You also like me, but it's not as deep as I like you. But it's okay. You'll know how good I am in the future."
She sat down again and took out a bottle of wine from the storage space. She poured a cup for Li Mu and herself. She said, "I'm very happy tonight. Drink with me …"
