Li Mu had always thought that Xiao Bai was a naive fox, but she actually knew everything.
However, she never fought or snatched. When Li Mu needed her, she was always by his side. When Li Mu didn't need her, she would silently leave. Li Mu never knew that she had such an insecure heart.
Just because Li Mu had another fox by his side, she was worried that she would be chased away one day.
From the North County to Shen Du, Li Mu, Liu Hanyan, and Li Qing were often separated. They were always by his side. Wherever he went, she would follow. Only Xiao Bai followed.
Liu Hanyan and the others returned to Mount Baiyun first. She also stubbornly wanted to wait for him here.
In the days that he wasn't around, he didn't know what she was thinking. Li Mu's heart ached. He held her in his arms. He didn't have any desire in his heart. He only kissed her forehead and said, "Don't worry, I will never chase you away. When I take revenge for Grandma, I will make you my real little fox …"
Xiao Bai hugged Li Mu tightly. It was as if she wanted to merge into his body.
In the morning, Li Mu was lying on the bed. Xiao Bai's fragrance was still in the quilt.
It was said that foxes had a smell. Fantasy Princess and Xiao Bai were each more fragrant than the other. When he slept with them, Li Mu was always too lazy to get up.
Someone walked in from outside and stood by the bed for a while. He handed a wet towel over. Li Mu took it and wiped his face. Only then did he realize that he didn't feel the aura of the person beside him.
He immediately opened his eyes and looked to the side.
Seeing the Empress standing by the bed, Li Mu's expression was a bit awkward. He said, "Your Majesty, good morning …"
Zhou Yi glanced at him and said, "What morning? It's already so late. You're still sleeping. You want me to cultivate diligently, but you're so lazy …"
Li Mu defended himself and said, "Didn't I just reach the Sixth Realm? I need to relax occasionally."
Then, he said embarrassedly, "Your Majesty, why don't you leave for a while? I'll put on my clothes first."
Zhou Yi pursed her lips and said, "What's there to leave for? I've seen everything …"
She didn't care. Li Mu, of course, didn't avoid her. He put on his clothes in front of her. The Empress only blushed slightly., but Cheng Xin's face was blushing. Li Mu felt that she was a bit different after she broke through.
To be exact, Li Mu himself had also changed a little, especially the feeling he had for Cheng Xin.
In the past, he didn't think there was anything good about Cheng Xin. But recently, no matter how he looked at her, he felt that she had delicate features. Could it be because they had the same thing flowing in their bodies?
Li Mu looked and looked. Suddenly, he felt the temperature around him drop.
He was shocked and realized that he had made a big mistake. He was looking at another female dragon in front of the Empress. Didn't that mean that Cheng Xin was more charming than her?
Li Mu immediately looked away, but it was too late.
Zhou Yi waved her sleeve and said, "Return to the palace."
Then, she and Cheng Xin disappeared in front of Li Mu's eyes.
Xiao Bai stood at the door. She blinked innocently at Li Mu and said, "Sister Zhou is angry."
Li Mu sighed and said, "I know."
The Empress was the most narrow-minded of them all, and she was also the one who got jealous the most easily. The relationship between the two of them was clearly not set in stone yet, but it was even easier for her to get jealous than Liu Hanyan. What was even worse was that every time Li Mu wanted to push their relationship further, she would instead become a coward, leaving Li Mu at a loss of what to do.
Li Mu decided to take the lead for once.
He thought for a while and said to Xiao Bai, "Pack up. We're going back to Mount Baiyun."
Xiao Bai was stunned and asked, "Ah, aren't you going to coax Sister Zhou?"
Li Mu shook his head and said, "We'll talk about it when we get back."
Changle Palace.
Zhou Yi waited for a long time, but Li Mu didn't enter the palace. In the end, she couldn't help but release her spiritual sense. However, she didn't sense his presence in the Li Mansion. Not only the Li Mansion, but also the entire Luoyang.
She returned to the Li Mansion and asked a rabbit demon servant, "Where's Li Mu?"
The rabbit demon servant said, "Master went to Mount Baiyun to attend the ceremony."
Zhou Yi returned to Changle Palace. She stomped her feet angrily and said in a low voice, "Bastard, do you still have me in your heart?!"
Thinking of this, she started to worry again.
Although in Li Mu's dreams, she often saw the two of them holding hands as they strolled around the Fairy's Capital, but some things were not said face to face, so it was still a little lacking.
Could it be that every time Li Mu took the initiative, her avoidance and dodging made him sad and disappointed?
Zhou Yi paced around the hall, her expression alternating between joy and worry. Until Mr. Mei came in to ask what kind of congratulatory gift the imperial court should give for the Fu-lu School's Master's Dual Cultivation Ceremony. She was preparing to leave tomorrow. Zhou Yi thought for a moment and suddenly had an idea.
The next day, the Empress' personal maid, Shangguan Li, announced that the Empress would be in seclusion for a few days. The morning court was temporarily canceled.
Mount Baiyun.
As the ancestral court of Fu-lu School, Mount Baiyun was usually very quiet. However, it was very lively recently. The mountain gates were opened wide to welcome the guests who came to the ancestral court to congratulate them.
The Master's Dual Cultivation Ceremony with the Pill Cauldron Sect's Seventh Realm Elder was a rare event for both Fu-lu School and the Pill Cauldron Sect. Three days ago, the Pill Cauldron Sect's Master and a Grand Supreme Elder came to Fu-lu School.
What was surprising was that the Spirit Array Sect also sent two Grand Supreme Elders to attend the ceremony. Two of the three Seventh Realm cultivators in the sect came. Only the Sect Master was guarding the mountain gate.
One had to know that the South Sect and the North Sect, which were also part of the Six Daoist Sects, only sent a Sixth Realm First Seat. As for Xuanzong, although he had a fierce conflict with Fu-lu School some time ago, he still sent a Sixth Realm First Seat to congratulate them.
For one sect's Master's Dual Cultivation Ceremony, the other sect had to send at least a Sixth Realm cultivator to meet the most basic etiquette.
For the Pill Cauldron Sect and the Spirit Array Sect to send two Seventh Realm cultivators, it was already an extremely high standard of etiquette. It represented the greatest importance they had for Fu-lu School.
It wasn't strange for the Pill Cauldron Sect to send such a lineup. After all, it was a major event for both sects. The fact that the Spirit Array Sect also sent a Grand Supreme Elder made everyone even more confused. Among the Six Daoist Sects, when did the Fu-lu School and the Spirit Array Sect become so close?
On a certain peak of Mount Baiyun, Li Mu, who had returned to the sect early, brought Li Qing and Han Zhe to catch up with each other.
Han Zhe looked at Li Mu and Li Qing holding hands and said with a sigh, "You and Junior Sister Li have finally come to fruition. Even the Sect Master has found a Dao companion. When can I be like you two …"
Junior Sister Qin gritted her teeth. Li Mu smiled at Han Zhe and said, "Don't be anxious. Fate will eventually meet …"
A few more streaks of light streaked across the sky. Over the past few days, countless cultivators had come to Mount Baiyun to congratulate them. Countless people flew around in the sky every day.
However, this time, the group of people flying across the sky attracted everyone's attention.
"What a powerful Demon Qi!"
"This aura, they're probably Seventh Realm Xuan Demons …"
"Two Seventh Realm Xuan Demons. What are they doing here?"
"They're probably Yao Nation cultivators. Could it be that they're also here to congratulate Fu-lu School? Since when did Fu-lu School have so much face?"
"I heard that the Yao Nation doesn't give any face to the Daoist Sects at all. There's a stone tablet erected at the city gate of Thousand Fox Nation that says Xuanzong disciples and dogs are not allowed to enter. To think that such powerful cultivators would come to attend Fu-lu School's ceremony …"
The cultivators discussed animatedly. Li Mu's face was full of shock.
He sensed the auras of Ten Thousand Illusions Lord, Blue Wolf King, and Phantom Princess in that group.
He only mentioned it to Phantom Princess. He didn't expect her to come here with such fanfare. One had to know that Liu Hanyan and Li Qing were also in Ancestral Court. Was she going to serve tea to her two sisters?
Before Li Mu could come back to his senses, an even greater uproar came from the peaks of Mount Baiyun.
A huge white dragon appeared in the distant sky. Behind the dragon was a dragon boat. On the dragon boat was a huge flag fluttering in the wind with the word "Zhou" written on it.
