At the shore of the Bay of Clear Water, Li Mu carried the unconscious Ren Yuan and said to Su He, "Why don't you come back with me? I can cook for you every day, and you don't have to be here alone …"
He made this suggestion not because he had any thoughts about Su He, but because after they merged, Li Mu could not stop thinking about that powerful strength.
Although Li Mu was only at the first realm, after being possessed by Su He, who was at the fourth realm, he could unleash strength far surpassing that of a fourth realm cultivator.
And Su He, as a soul, after possessing a body, could also use the spells of the Righteous Path that she could not use before.
The two of them together could complement each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses.
Su He shook her head, but did not explain anything. She said, "I can't leave here. Just remember to come and see me often."
Li Mu was somewhat disappointed, but he did not force her. After bidding farewell to her, he walked out of the Bay of Clear Water.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, a figure flew over from the front. When Li Qing saw him, she immediately asked, "Are you alright?"
Li Mu shook his head. "I'm fine."
Li Qing sighed in relief, then asked, "Where's The Heretical Cultivation?"
"Dead."
Li Mu threw Ren Yuan to the ground and said, "When he was chasing me, a righteous cultivator happened to pass by and killed that Heretical Cultivation, saving me …"
Li Qing looked at him and asked, "Where is that senior?"
Li Mu pointed in a direction and said, "He just left."
The black-robed man was killed, and Ren Yuan was also captured. Li Qing sighed in relief, but her expression turned cold. She looked at Li Mu and asked, "Who told you to act on your own just now?"
Li Mu opened his mouth. "I …"
Before he could think of an answer, several figures appeared behind them and quickly arrived beside them.
Constable Zhou led the others and asked nervously, "What about The Heretical Cultivation?"
"He was killed by a senior who was passing by." Li Mu pointed at Ren Yuan on the ground and said, "This person is the murderer of the Hunter father and son. His cultivation has already been crippled by that senior. Within two months, he had consecutively crossed the Soul Refining and Soul Condensation stages. I'm afraid that the innocent people who died in his hands were not only the Hunter father and son …"
Constable Zhou said with a sullen face, "Take him back to the Yamen first and interrogate him carefully."
After arranging everything, he looked at Li Mu and asked, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Li Mu smiled and said, "It's all thanks to that senior …"
Li Mu did not intend to tell Constable Zhou the truth about Su He, but he did not ask. The Heretical Cultivation did not walk the right path and defied the heavens. Everyone had the right to punish them. Although Li Mu's reason was a bit coincidental, he had to believe it.
Otherwise, he could not explain how Li Mu, with his insignificant cultivation, could escape from the hands of that Heretical Cultivation practitioner with the Divine Ability.
There were not many cultivators in the Yangqiu County government to begin with, and there was not a single one in the Divine Ability realm. Zhang County Magistrates were not present, and the other two cultivators, apart from Li Qing and Han Zhe, had been seconded to Zhou County three months ago. They could not spare any more manpower.
After receiving the news, Constable Zhou contacted several other cultivators in the county in the shortest time possible and rushed over. He had been prepared for a fierce battle, but he did not expect it to end so easily.
In the county yamen, Old Wang finished recording and looked at Li Mu. He clicked his tongue and said, "You're really lucky to be able to escape from a Heretical Cultivation practitioner of the Divine Ability realm …"
Li Mu said, "Maybe my luck is better …"
Old Wang covered his mouth and coughed a few times. He said, "That's true. Life is really unpredictable. However, you can escape one trouble, but you can't escape the other …"
Li Mu was surprised. "What other trouble do I have?"
Old Wang glanced outside. Li Mu looked over and saw Li Qing standing there with her sword in her arms. Her face was cold, like a piece of thousand-year-old ice.
On the way back, she did not say a word to Li Mu. Li Mu knew that she was angry.
He walked out of the duty room and came to Li Qing. He lowered his head and said, "Boss, I was wrong …"
Li Qing did not look at him. She said coldly, "What did you do wrong?"
Li Mu said honestly, "I shouldn't have acted on my own and run away without your permission."
Li Qing finally looked at him, her voice still cold. "Do you think that just because you've condensed three souls, you're very powerful and can fight a Heretical Cultivation practitioner of the Divine Ability realm?"
Li Mu shook his head. "No."
Li Qing's voice was filled with anger. "Then why did you lure him away?"
Li Mu did not answer directly. Instead, he asked, "If I were the boss, what would you do?"
Li Qing's lips moved. She found that she could not refute Li Mu. She said coldly, "Are you the boss or am I the boss? When did it become your turn to ask me?"
Li Mu sighed. "You are."
Li Si was right about one thing. Fairies were also women.
Since they were women, they had the characteristics of women.
For example, when they realized that they could not be reasoned with, they would choose to be unreasonable.
He looked up at Li Qing and said, "In the situation at that time, if we ran away together, he would have caught up before we could reach the county. If we ran together, only death would await us. If we ran separately, the other side would have a chance to live. I think that my choice was not wrong."
Li Qing asked, "So you gave the chance to me?"
Li Mu looked into her eyes and said in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing, "My life was saved by you, boss. My cultivation was introduced to me by you. Even the Baiyi Sword was given to me by you. If I run away without caring about you when I'm in danger, am I still a human?"
Li Qing met his gaze. Li Mu did not back down at all.
Li Qing looked into Li Mu's eyes and finally looked away. She said, "In the future, without my permission, you are not allowed to act on your own. Otherwise, I won't have you as my subordinate …"
This meant that today's matter was over. Li Mu let out a sigh of relief and said seriously, "I will listen to the boss in the future. If the boss tells me to go east, I will not go west. If the boss tells me to beat a dog, I will not beat a chicken …"
"Bah!" Han Zhe spat in the distance and scolded angrily, "Shameless!"
Li Qing went to interrogate Ren Yuan. Li Mu hummed a little tune. It seemed that women still liked to listen to good music, even fairies were no exception.
He hummed a few words and suddenly felt something. He looked to the other side and found that Han Zhe was standing there, looking at him with disdain.
Han Zhe looked at Li Mu in the distance and said disdainfully, "Are you still a man to bow and scrape to a woman?"
If it was yesterday, Li Mu might have felt a little guilty when he heard Han Zhe ask this. Now he could stand there with his back straight and tell him loudly that he was a man, a real man.
Li Mu smiled and said, "A real man knows when to yield and when to stand tall. A man who only knows how to stretch his neck forward is called a boorish man."
Han Zhe knew that Li Mu was mocking him for almost being caught by the cat demon. He snorted and said, "Today you saved me once. In the future, I will save you once. Then we can call it even …"
Li Mu was too lazy to waste time with Han Zhe. He still had to go to the torture room and interrogate Ren Yuan about the black-robed man.
Han Zhe stood in the corridor and said gloomily, "In terms of strength and status, which part of me is inferior to him? Why does Miss Qing treat him so well? That female shopkeeper of the Yunyan Pavilion also flirted with him …"
Old Wang poked his head out of the window and said, "Although you are stronger than him and have a higher status than him, there is one thing that you can't compare to him."
Han Zhe turned his head to look at Old Wang and said unhappily, "What is it?"
Old Wang said, "You are not as good-looking as him."
Han Zhe snorted and said disdainfully, "Shallow!"
Old Wang shook his head and retracted his head. He sighed and said, "These kids nowadays, they have cultivated until they are stupid. When it comes to girls, how can they not yield and coax them a little? Do you think that by standing there in a daze, girls will throw themselves at you? Do you think you are Li Si?"
Han Zhe returned to the torture room gloomily. He saw one of his subordinates and waved at him.
The constable quickly ran over and asked, "Boss, what's the matter?"
Han Zhe said, "I want to ask you something. Answer honestly."
The constable immediately said, "Boss, please ask. I will answer honestly."
Han Zhe touched his chin and asked, "Me or Li Mu, who is better looking?"
"Li Mu?" The constable was stunned. He thought about Li Mu and then looked at Han Zhe. He shook his head and said, "Boss, don't joke around …"
