Bai Yinxin came over and said helplessly: "Ting Xin, don't talk nonsense all day long..."
Bai Tingxin was unconvinced and said: "I'm not talking nonsense. Dad said that if you like someone, you have to say it out loud. Is it wrong to like someone?"
Li Mu had extremely doubts about what his eldest brother, the White Demon King, had taught his daughter. If she had spent half of her time on cultivation, she would not be at her current level.
The hard one is not enough, so Li Mu can only use the soft one.
He looked at the green snake and said earnestly: "Listen to your heart, feelings are something that requires both parties to be happy. Don't force it."
Bai Tingxin understood what he meant and asked, "You don't like me?"
Li Mu nodded and said, "I like you because you are my niece, but I hope you can understand that this kind of love is not between a man and a woman."
Bai Tingxin said unconvinced: "Why don't you like me? Is it because I'm not pretty enough?"
Li Mu looked at Xiaobai.
Bai Tingxin looked back and did not refute. Even if she was confident in her beauty, she could not unconscionably say that she was prettier than Xiaobai.
She took a deep breath and asked again: "Am I not obedient enough?"
Li Mu looked at Wanwan.
Bai Tingxin lowered her head again, remained silent for a long time, and then asked without giving up: "Are my legs not long enough to entangle people? Isn't that what you men like?"
Li Mu looked at Bai Yinxin.
Among the four people in the yard, she was not as beautiful as Su Bai, not as obedient as Wanwan, and not as long as her sister who could entangle people. The little green snake finally fell silent and returned to her room without saying a word.
Not long after, Bai Yinxin walked in, sat down next to her, sighed softly, and said, "Stop messing around."
Bai Tingxin said, "I'm not messing around."
Bai Yinxin looked at her and asked, "Do you really want to be your own aunt?"
Bai Tingxin didn't care at all: "What's the matter? If you like it, just say it out loud. This is what dad taught me. If I don't let dad cut off the relationship with him, won't everything be fine?"
Bai Yinxin was stunned for a moment and asked: "Is this okay?"
Bai Tingxin smiled and said, "Look, sister, you think so too, right?"
Bai Yinxin immediately became serious: "No..."
Bai Tingxin said: "Anyway, I think I'll tell dad..."
She took out the spirit snail, then looked at her sister and asked doubtfully: "Why didn't you stop me?"
Bai Yinxin snorted and said: "You have grown up and have your own ideas. I can't control everything for you. Just do whatever you want..."
Li Mu's room.
Since the two sisters Yin Xin and Ting Xin arrived, Li Mu has not let Xiao Bai and Wan Wan sleep with him. He must be careful in front of the juniors.
He knows that he is always soft-hearted, but being soft-hearted will only lead to deeper entanglements.
So this time he was cruel and told the little green snake clearly that he had no such thoughts about her and asked her to give up as soon as possible.
Although it is a bit cruel, he must do it.
In order to prevent her from taking advantage of her, Li Mu had to avoid her for the past two days.
In the morning, he simply stopped having breakfast at home and went to Changle Palace to have breakfast with the Queen early.
He ate three meals a day with the Queen, and in the evening he went to Changle Palace to read the book and didn't go home until just before the palace gate closed.
For the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he wore the stars and the moon, and forgot all about food and sleep. His level of diligence has surpassed that of Emperor Wen. If he were the emperor, future generations would rate him as the leader of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the most wise ruler in the world. It is a pity that he is not, he worked so hard.
, all the good reputation was gained by the Queen.
After all, they are going to be neighbors in the future. They don't speak the same language as the two families, and Li Mu doesn't care much about it.
Not even one of the vows he made to the Queen has been fulfilled so far. There is still a long way to go before he expects to retire.
The last tribute paid by the various countries had briefly frightened them, but it was only a shock and it was impossible for them to directly surrender to the Zhou Dynasty.
Everything in the Ghost Realm and Demon Kingdom is as usual. As for catching a dragon to serve as a mount for the Queen, it is even more of a mystery...
Li Mu sighed in his heart. This kind of thing cannot be accomplished in one generation. The Queen wants him to do it for a lifetime...
Today, he still stayed late at Changle Palace and had dinner with the Queen.
Zhou Wu glanced at Li Mu in surprise and asked, "Why have you become so diligent these days?"
Li Mudao: "The Great Zhou Dynasty is currently suffering from internal and external troubles, the people's mental power has stagnated, the demon kingdoms and ghost realms are watching with eager eyes, and the southern countries are also waiting to see our jokes. I am deeply worried about this..."
Zhou Wu said calmly: "Tell the truth."
As expected, he could not fool the Queen, so Li Mu could only tell the truth. The reason why he stayed in Changle Palace for so long was because there was a snake in the house that wanted to eat him.
Li Mu sighed: "My eldest brother has really spoiled his daughter. How old is she? She says love is free and shouldn't care about worldly prejudices. Does she understand what love is?"
Zhou Wu thought for a while and said, "I think what she said makes sense."
Li Mu didn't show anything on his face, but he was already mocking the Queen in his heart.
She only had an arranged marriage in name only and knew nothing about love.
Zhou Wu's face darkened: "What did you say?"
Li Mu raised his head and said blankly: "I didn't say anything?"
Zhou Wu said: "You said it in your heart."
Li Mu said firmly: "I don't."
No matter how powerful the Queen is, she can't read minds. Not to mention that she is only in the seventh realm, not even the ninth. As long as she refuses to admit it, what can she do to him?
Without directly catching Li Mu, Zhou Wu could do nothing to him and asked: "Then tell me, what is love?"
Li Mu thought for a while and said: "There will never be an answer to this question. Everyone has their own answer. However, when a person wants to be with another person all the time, it will be happy when we get together and happy when we are apart.
Even if you are disappointed, just seeing her will make you feel happy. This should be love."
Zhou Wu was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Isn't this possessiveness?"
Li Muyouyou said: "Possessiveness is human nature, and it can also happen among friends, but possessiveness and possessiveness are different. Whether it is possessiveness for love or other possessiveness, you have to ask yourself in your heart.
Already."
Influenced by Li Si, Li Mu felt that he also had the demeanor of an emotional master.
The Queen fell into deep thought after what he said. This is normal. For a woman who has never experienced love, love is indeed a difficult thing to understand.
After pondering for a while, the queen suddenly looked at Li Mu and asked, "So you, Liu Hanyan, Li Qing, and Wanwan Xiaobai are all in love?"
This question really stumped Li Mu.
To say that it is all love is an insult to love. Love is loyal and unwavering. Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, White Snake and Xu Xian, those truly unswerving loves that endure through all times are true love.
Li Mu is just a lecher at best.
Sure enough, the person who knows him best is Hu Jiu.
He sighed and said to the Queen: "I am just a lustful person."
Zhou Wu snorted lightly and said, "You have an accurate understanding of yourself."
It is important for people to be self-aware. Li Mu admitted that he was a vulgar person and a person who had not escaped from vulgar taste. He admitted it himself, and the Queen could not accuse him from the moral high ground.
Zhou Wu continued to sarcastically say: "If you exchange places with me, I'm afraid the harem will no longer be able to accommodate you, right?"
Li Mu waved his hand and said modestly: "No, not..."
The late emperor, a lsp, also expanded the harem once in order to choose concubines. There were seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courtyards, all of whom were the same, but they only had children with the queen and concubines. Although Li Mu was also a womanizer, he would not
Without any emotional foundation, they only care about physical pleasure.
Until now, his body still belongs to Liu Hanyan only.
Zhou Wu asked again: "You won't fall in love with those two nieces again, will you?"
Li Mu looked at the Queen and said in disbelief: "Is this the kind of person I think your Majesty sees?"
Zhou Wu waved her hand, "I'm just curious."
Li Mu said firmly: "Although I am lustful, I also have principles and will not have any thoughts about my niece. What is the difference between that and an animal?"
The conversation with the Queen today was a little too in-depth. Seeing that the palace door was about to close, Li Mu stood up and said: "It's late, I'll go back first."
Zhou Wu said casually: "It's very late, why don't you stay in Changle Palace at night, and you can read a few more envelopes."
Li Mu shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, no, I'll see when I come tomorrow."
He had felt nauseated reading the booklets these past few days, and now he didn't want to read any of them.
Zhou Wu waved her hands in disappointment and said: "Go, go..."
Seeing Li Mu leave Changle Palace, Zhou Wu returned to the dormitory and sat in front of the dressing table. She accidentally saw herself in the mirror and was slightly startled.
The woman in the mirror is naturally very beautiful, but no matter how beautiful she is, she can't hide the look of disappointment on her face.
She began to think about why she was disappointed. It seemed to be because Li Mu left, but she was with her for at least eight of the twelve hours today. During these eight hours, the furthest distance between them was no more than ten steps.
, why was she still disappointed when Li Mu left?
Did she want Li Mu to be with her twelve hours a day, eating and sleeping?
Mei Wei told her that it was just normal possessiveness.
But Li Mu told her that this was love.
Zhou Wu's expression suddenly changed, with a look of confusion on her face.
She didn't know who she should listen to...
…
The Queen has been a little unusual these past two days. When Li Mu was reviewing the memorial, she stopped reading novels and was leaning on the dragon chair alone, not knowing what she was thinking about.
However, it was normal for women to have more thoughts, so Li Mu didn't take it to heart.
He encountered difficulties in incorporating the Great Zhou Monster Clan.
After the Zhongshu Province decided on the policy and the Menxia Province approved it, the Shangshu Province immediately distributed it to the counties. In the past few days, the counties have successively responded to this.
Contrary to what Li Mu expected, there were only a few of the thirty-six counties on the Great Day, and a small number of monsters responded.
This policy is completely beneficial and harmless to the weak monsters everywhere.
When they become the demon people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they do not have to bear any responsibility. They will be what they were before and they will be the same in the future. The only difference is that the Great Zhou court has become their backing. In the future, whether they are practitioners of righteous or evil ways or powerful monster threats.
Their lives will not be ignored by the local governments, and they will be treated as real people of the Zhou Dynasty.
Even so, not many monsters are willing.
Li Mu guessed that they didn't trust the court at all.
It's no wonder that the situation of monsters in the Great Zhou Dynasty is very embarrassing.
Although they are all local monsters born and raised in Da Zhou, Da Zhou is their hometown, but the imperial court is the imperial court of the human race. In this land, human beings can slaughter them arbitrarily, but if they dare to massacre human beings, they will definitely die.
.
This situation has lasted for tens of thousands of years, from the Great Zhou Dynasty to the previous dynasty, and has been like this in all dynasties. The conflict between monsters and humans is engraved in the genes.
Li Mu put down the papers submitted by each county, thought about it, stood up, and said: "Your Majesty, I want to go out to investigate. I will be back in two or three days at most."
Zhou Wu said absently: "Please pay attention to your safety."
After Li Mu left, Lord Mei took a look outside the palace and asked Shangguan Li, "A Li, you haven't noticed that something has not been right with His Majesty these past two days."
Shangguanli asked: "What's wrong?"
Master Mei said: "Your Majesty talks less and smiles less. He is often alone in a daze and doesn't know what he is thinking."
Shangguan Li thought for a while and said, "Maybe the demon clan matter is not going well, and your majesty may be worried."
Lord Mei didn't take her answer to heart at all. Since having Li Mu, when has His Majesty ever taken care of this? Li Mu is not the only one who has to worry about big and small matters.
"Mei Wei, A Li, come in."
The Queen's voice came from the palace. Lord Mei walked in, bowed and asked, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
Zhou Wu looked at her and asked: "Mei Wei, tell me, what is love?"
Lord Mei was stunned for a moment, then a complicated look appeared on her face, and she said, "Your Majesty, if I had known what love is, I wouldn't be alone now..."
Zhou Wu reacted and said again: "Ali, you..."
Then she realized that including her, the three women in the palace were completely blank on this matter.
According to Li Mu, the green snake seemed to understand love very well. Zhou Wu stood up and said, "Let's go, take two boxes of cakes from the imperial kitchen to Li Mansion. I haven't seen Xiaobai and Wan for several days."
late……"
…
Zhongjun.
There are thirty-six counties in the country. Zhongjun is located in the middle of the country and is where the divine capital is located. However, the development of Zhongjun is actually at the lower end of the thirty-six counties.
The entire Zhongjun must provide convenience for the Divine Capital, and all resources must be provided first to the Divine Capital. This makes Zhongjun prosperous and prosperous, and the people's lives are not too poor, but they can barely have enough food and clothing.
The monsters in Zhongjun also lived a relatively miserable life.
The people are not rich, there are no poultry and livestock to steal, and they don't dare to steal. It is too close to the capital of gods, and there are too many practitioners. There are no monsters bold enough to cause trouble here. Instead, they are worried that the practitioners will take their souls.
They are eager to go to the Demon Kingdom, but as demons born in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they have grown up here and are already familiar with it. No one wants to leave, and no one dares to leave.
With their way of doing things, it is very likely that they would die on the road before reaching the demon country.
In a mountain somewhere in Zhong County, on a clearing filled with fallen leaves, there were more than a dozen figures sitting cross-legged.
All the transformed monsters within a hundred miles radius gathered here.
These monsters usually practice in their own hidden caves. Except for those who are closely related, they rarely show up at gatherings. This is the first time they have gotten together.
Not long ago, the Zhou court announced a piece of news.
From now on, all monsters practicing in Dazhou can apply to become Dazhou monster citizens.
By reporting to the government, after becoming a demon citizen, you can still practice in the original cave, and you no longer have to worry about being devoured by more powerful monsters, nor do you need to worry about being chased by human practitioners.
As long as they become monsters of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the imperial court will protect them like the common people.
As monsters, their greatest dangers are their more powerful counterparts and human practitioners.
If their safety can be guaranteed, you can practice with peace of mind.
This is simply a great thing for them.
The good ones make them feel unreal.
Among the demons, a tiger demon with three horizontal lines on its forehead said in a deep voice: "What do you think of this matter?"
A leopard demon said: "If this is true, that would be great. We no longer have to worry about those human practitioners. We don't have to hide and can practice openly in the mountains..."
"madness!"
Another wolf demon had a gloomy face and gritted his teeth: "This is a conspiracy of humans. Humans are cruel and cunning for no reason. How could they be so good to the demon clan? They must want to kill us all. Have you forgotten your parents?"
How did you die?"
The leopard demon showed hatred on his face, gritted his teeth and said: "It's a damn human practitioner..."
Next, all the demons also spoke one after another.
"Brother Wolf is right, humans are the most cruel and cunning, it must be their conspiracy!"
"They want to lure us out and kill us effortlessly..."
"The purpose of the human court is too obvious. Who would be stupid enough to trust humans?"
"Everyone, please ignore it, anyone who goes will die!"
…
In the sky above the heads of the monsters, Li Mu merged with the tree crown, sighing in his heart, wanting to change the human perception of monsters is not something that can be done overnight.
After returning to the divine capital, Li Mu had already thought of his next plan.
To make these monsters trust the imperial court, they must see the sincerity of the imperial court.
Li Mu needs some monsters to cooperate to set an example for other monsters.
No one is more suitable than Brother Bai's group of men.
Li Mu walked into Li Mansion and saw Bai Tingxin, Wanwan and Xiaobai talking and laughing around the queen. He walked up to Bai Yinxin and said, "Yinxin, can you help me contact your father?
If you have something important to do, go to him."
Bai Yinxin took out a spiritual conch, input the magic power, said a few words, and handed it to Li Mu.
Li Mu said a few simple greetings and then told him the matter straight to the point.
The White Demon King said simply: "You can take care of these things. You can take Yin Xin and Ting Xin with you, and they will help you arrange it."
Li Mu smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Bai."
The White Demon King said: "We should be a family."
Li Mu said a few more polite words before saying, "Brother Bai, please go ahead and I'll take Yin Xin back tomorrow."
The White Demon King said: "Wait a minute."
Li Mu asked: "Is there anything else?"
The White Demon King said: "Let me listen to my heart, you are now a minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a famous person next to the Queen of Great Zhou, with a very high status and status. When I became sworn sworn with you, I never thought that you would have
today……"
Li Mu smiled and said: "This will not affect our brother's feelings."
The White Demon King said: "No, no, no, with your identity and status, how can you be sworn to a monster? What will others think of you? From now on, don't call me big brother. I don't have a brother like you, but
Our feelings are still there, I hope you don’t think too much about it..."
Li Mu said in shock: "Brother Bai, this..."
The White Demon King smiled and said: "I'm doing this for your own good. Don't call me Brother Bai anymore. That's it. I have other things to do, so I'll be busy first..."
Li Mu held the conch from which no sound could be heard, with a confused look on his face.
At the same time, thousands of miles away, deep in the East China Sea, in a crystal palace.
On the huge clam bed, a first-born woman with two horns rolled her eyes at the White Demon King and said angrily: "Just spoil your daughter..."
The White Demon King didn't care at all and said: "Your father tried every means to stop the matter between you and me. You don't know how difficult it was for us. I will not let my daughter suffer this..."
She looked at the woman under her with a smile and said: "It's only been two hours since you came to me at this time. Come on, let's continue..."
After he finished speaking, the open clam shell slowly closed.
Shendu, Li Mansion.
Li Mu returned the spirit conch to Bai Yinxin, but he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Okay, what kind of trouble did he make?
Bai Tingxin ran over with a jumping heart and said happily: "Uncle, you are back..."
When she ran to Li Mu, she pretended to be stunned, "I almost forgot, last time my father said that he wanted to sever ties with you, so I don't have to call you uncle anymore. Then how should I call you my benefactor in the future?"
