Li Mu originally thought that after the Demon Sect's Three Ancestors woke up, they would immediately take revenge on him and Yong and snatch back the Heavenly Tomes.
Unexpectedly, he had stayed in the Yong Kingdom for half a month without seeing any signs of activity.
Neither the Demon Sect's Three Ancestors nor Xuanming had any intention of snatching back the Heavenly Tomes. Li Mu's numerous long-distance teleportation formations seemed to have been built in vain.
At this moment, Li Mu suddenly recalled that Pei Yi had once said that the Three Ancestors could not easily set foot on the continent.
Although Li Mu didn't know the reason behind this, since the Devil Sect didn't plan on attacking Yong, there was no need for Li Mu to remain here. The reason why he had stayed in Yong for so long was to learn how to govern Yong.
The Great Zhou's internal problems had been resolved, and its external troubles had been quelled. What was needed now was peaceful development.
In this aspect, he needed to learn from Yong.
In the Yong Imperial Palace, Li Mu extended his hand to Linglong and said, "Let's go."
This time, he wanted to bring Princess Linglong back to the Divine Capital.
Firstly, her Heart of Seven Orifices was extremely attractive to the Demonic Dao. If she remained in Yong, Yong would not be able to protect her.
In addition, Linglong had taken the initiative to follow Li Mu to the Divine Capital.
She felt deeply guilty for torturing Li Mu every day on the Demonic Island. Although it was an act, she had really done it. She had taken the initiative to follow Li Mu to atone for her sins.
Li Mu had emphasized to her many times that it was only a temporary measure in times of danger. However, Princess Linglong seemed to have accepted this stubbornly.
Since he was going to take her with him anyway, Li Mu let her be. Aside from protecting her, Li Mu actually had a small selfish motive. Although the Heavenly Tomes of Yong had been snatched away by the Demonic Dao, Linglong was a walking Heavenly Tomes. If he brought her to the Divine Capital and had her help the Great Zhou implement a series of reforms, wouldn't he and the Empress be liberated?
As the group watched the two disappear, the Yong Emperor suddenly realized something and muttered, "Oh no, we fell into a trap!"
Great Zhou, Shen 'du.
According to past practice, whenever Lord Li Mu disappeared for a period of time, it meant that he was planning something big.
The Great Zhou, the Yao Nation, and the Ghost Realm had formed an alliance during his absence.
This time, news of Lord Li barging into the Demon Sect's lair alone and rescuing Princess Linglong from Yong under the noses of many Demon Sect experts spread from Yong to Shen 'du.
Even if the people were already used to his actions, they still couldn't help but sigh in their hearts when they heard about this. Lord Li was forever a god.
Ever since he stepped into the Divine Capital, all the things he did were things that others couldn't do, things that others didn't dare to do, and things that others didn't even dare to do. Even the people he chose to date were like this.
In the entire Great Zhou, he was probably the only one who dared to flirt with the empress.
At this moment, in the Changle Palace, Li Mu was preparing to report to the empress.
Zhou Yi sensed that Li Mu had returned and was originally overjoyed. However, in the next moment, he sensed the aura of an unfamiliar woman beside him. Seeing Li Mu and a young woman walk in, the empress only shot him a glance and didn't say anything.
Li Mu understood the empress so well that he knew what she was thinking with just a glance. Unhurriedly, he introduced, "Your Majesty, this is Princess Linglong of Yong. She possesses the Heart of Seven Orifices and is one of the important targets of the Demon Sect. In order to protect her and prevent her from being abducted by the Demon Sect again, this subject acted on his own initiative and brought her back."
Princess Linglong's eyes were filled with stars as she looked at the empress. She hurriedly bowed and said, "Linglong greets Your Majesty, the Empress."
Zhou Yi felt uncomfortable under Princess Linglong's gaze. He lightly coughed and said, "Dispense with the formalities. Ah Li, arrange a palace for Princess Linglong to live in."
According to etiquette, the envoys or nobles of other countries should be placed in the Chamberlain of Dependencies. They had never been placed in the palace. Li Mu opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, isn't it a little inappropriate to have Linglong live in the palace?"
Zhou Yi indifferently glanced at him and asked, "Then where do you think is appropriate for her to live? The Li Residence?"
Li Mu decisively shut his mouth.
Ah Li and Mr. Mei went to tidy up the palace for Linglong. The empress walked outside the Changle Palace and pretended to be admiring the scenery. She indifferently said to Li Mu, "Her name wasn't on that paper."
Li Mu helplessly said, "Your Majesty, what are you thinking? I only brought her back to protect her. At the same time, I also want her to help the Great Zhou implement some reforms that affect the people's lives. Also, she is an admirer of Your Majesty …"
Zhou Yi was diverted by Li Mu's change of topic. He asked, "What does she admire about me?"
Li Mu said, "Your Majesty is young, but you are already one of the most powerful people in the Zu Continent. You control the most powerful empire in the Zu Continent. You are the idol of countless women, including Linglong. She has told me more than once about her admiration for Your Majesty …"
At the entrance of another palace, Princess Linglong looked at Li Mu and the empress standing side by side not far away. She was full of joy and said, "Big Brother Li and Your Majesty are a perfect match. Seeing them together makes me happy …"
Mr. Mei was puzzled and asked, "Your Majesty and Li Mu are together. What makes you happy?"
Princess Linglong said, "I don't know. In any case, I'm just happy …"
Zhou Yi glanced at Linglong from the corner of her eyes and asked Li Mu, "What's there to be happy about?"
Li Mu explained, "Your Majesty might not understand, but when she admires the two of us at the same time, she would very much want to see us together. Aren't the people of the Divine Capital like this? Your Majesty also knows the people's cries for us …"
Zhou Yi understood Li Mu's explanation. Countless people of the Divine Capital hoped that she would make Li Mu empress. She didn't expect that there would also be such a person in the distant Yong Kingdom.
At this moment, Zhou Qiong suddenly didn't care so much about the fact that Li Mu had brought back a beautiful woman.
She glanced at Li Mu and said, "Follow me."
Li Mu followed behind the empress and soon arrived in front of the ancestral shrine.
The empress entered the ancestral shrine, and Li Mu followed her in.
Inside the ancestral shrine, thirty-six cauldrons of psychokinesis shone with an abnormally resplendent golden light. The golden threads extending from each cauldron were at least twice as thick as the ones Li Mu had seen last time.
Li Mu was astonished for a moment, but he soon understood.
The Great Zhou of today was no longer the Great Zhou of the past.
After Li Mu helped Su He unify the Ghost Realm and establish a peace treaty with the Great Zhou, the Zu Continent's situation had completely changed.
Apart from the Demon Sect, which the common people couldn't come into contact with, the Great Zhou's internal and external troubles had been resolved. The common people could completely relax and live in peace and contentment. This was the best time that the Zu Continent had experienced in the past several thousand years.
And the Great Zhou was destined to be the dynasty that the common people trusted the most and recognized the most.
When the common people trusted the country and were proud of the people of the country, the psychokinesis of the people would naturally reach a peak.
Within the large cauldron in the center of the ancestral shrine, the psychokinesis dragon was napping. Its body was abnormally thick and solid, not inferior to the one given to him by the Yong Emperor. This meant that the psychokinesis spirit within the ancestral shrine of the Great Zhou had matured.
Li Mu recalled this matter and said to the empress, "There is one more thing that this subject forgot to tell Your Majesty. In order to thank this subject, the Yong Emperor gave this subject a valuable gift."
Zhou Yi looked at him and asked suspiciously, "He wants to marry his daughter to you?"
Li Mu was speechless. "What is Your Majesty thinking? He gave this subject a strand of Emperor's Qi."
Li Mu extended his hand, and another golden dragon flew out from the cauldron. The moment this dragon appeared in the ancestral shrine, the enormous dragon within the cauldron opened its eyes. Two rays of golden light flashed as it looked at Li Mu.
To be exact, it was looking at the other golden dragon beside him.
The golden dragon released by Li Mu paused for a moment before letting out a roar and flying towards the golden dragon in the cauldron. The two dragons instantly intertwined with each other, biting each other with their dragon heads …
