Li Mu still couldn't understand the demon clan's behavior.
Two nieces were born for no reason, and then disappeared for no apparent reason. The problem was that Li Mu couldn't ignore them yet. The only change in this matter was that there was no longer any generational barrier between him and sisters Yin Xin and Ting Xin.
Li Mu was speechless for a long time, is there such a person as a father?
He ignored the grumbling Bai Tingxin and said to the Queen: "Your Majesty, I want to go back to Beijun to arrange some things and gain the trust of the demon clan as soon as possible so that they can cooperate with the imperial court's policy."
Zhou Wu nodded and said, "Come back soon."
"I'll try my best." Li Mu responded to the Queen, and then said to Bai Yinxin: "Yinxin, I need you and me to go back to Beijun to discuss something with your other uncles."
Bai Yinxin did not hesitate, nodded and said: "Okay."
Bai Tingxin immediately said: "I'll go too."
Li Mu flatly refused: "It's enough for you two to go alone."
When he was still her elder, this little snake was already lawless. Now that he doesn't even have the protection of this relationship, she will definitely push further.
Bai Tingxin looked at Li Mu and said unconvinced: "Then why do you insist that your sister accompany you? Do you have any other thoughts about your sister?"
In order to prove his innocence, Li Mu could only say: "It's the same for any of you. Let's do this. I'll choose anyone at random, and whoever I choose will be who I choose. Then you'll have nothing to say, right?"
Bai Tingxin said: "Then you must be fair."
Li Mu nodded and said, "Don't worry, it's absolutely fair."
He stretched out his finger and pointed at the two sisters, "I will choose whoever the little cock clicks..."
After the last word fell, his finger pointed at Bai Tingxin.
Bai Yinxin's eyes showed disappointment, while Bai Tingxin's face showed a smile of victory.
Li Mu thought for a moment, looked at the little green snake, and said, "You have been eliminated, Yin Xin, let's go!"
…
In the Li Mansion, beside the stone table in the courtyard, Bai Tingxin held a puppet snake she made, and slapped the upper part of its tail with her palms. While doing so, she cursed: "Huh, I told you not to take me with you, I'll beat it to death."
You, beat you to death!"
Wanwan sat on the swing, occasionally looking in the direction of Bai Tingxin, with a sad look on his face.
There was no vixen, but two snakes came. The task assigned to her by the young lady seemed to be getting harder and harder to complete.
Xiaobai sat side by side with her, also worried.
In the past, she only had to worry about whether other vixens were approaching her benefactor. Now, in addition to vixens, even beautiful snakes have appeared. Sister Ting Xin said that men like women with long legs, but her legs are not as long as theirs...
Zhou Wu was still in Li Mansion. She walked to sit across from Bai Tingxin and asked, "Do you like Li Mu?"
Bai Tingxin nodded, looked up at the Queen, and suddenly seemed to realize something, and asked expectantly: "Sister Queen, can you issue an imperial edict to marry me to him? He will definitely not dare to disobey Sister Queen.
Imperial decree."
Zhou Wu said lightly: "No."
Bai Tingxin asked in disappointment, "Why?"
Zhou Wu said: "A melon that is forced is not sweet, and feelings cannot be forced."
Bai Tingxin said firmly: "I have to force myself!"
Zhou Wu asked: "He doesn't like you, so what's the use of forcing yourself?"
Bai Tingxin didn't care at all and said: "He just hasn't discovered how good I am yet. I believe he will discover it sooner or later. Love at first sight is only about the face. Love that lasts for a long time is the real love..."
For some reason, although the little green snake in front of her was much younger than her and her words were very willful, Zhou Wu always felt that what she said made sense.
She couldn't help but want to hear her talk more and learn more, and asked: "Did you fall in love at first sight with Li Mu?"
Bai Tingxin curled her lips and said: "Of course not, am I such a superficial snake? When we first met, we had a fight and he injured me. Later I slowly discovered that he
He is good-looking, can cook, has a gentle temper, and saved my life and my sister’s life. At that time, I told myself that it would be useless for me to identify with him in this life..."
Zhou Wu thought for a while and then asked: "Have you ever thought that one of you is a human and the other is a monster?"
Bai Tingxin said unconvinced: "What's wrong with the demon? Xiao Bai is also a demon. In the book he wrote, in addition to demons, there are also ghosts. Love does not distinguish between race, identity, and status. This is what he originally told
our……"
Zhou Wu asked in confusion: "Then you don't mind that he already has a wife, as well as Wanwan, Xiaobai and the others?"
Bai Tingxin sighed and said: "What can I do if I mind? I also want to dominate him alone, but I'm late. Sister Queen, if you have someone you like very much, you can understand how I feel."
.”
Zhou Wu shook her head: "What a joke, how could I have..."
Bai Tingxin said regretfully: "That's such a pity. Sister Queen, you will never understand what it feels like to like someone. You will always think about being with him, want to possess him, and want him to just accompany you."
Leaving you alone..."
Zhou Wu covered her chest and felt that her breathing was starting to become a little difficult.
She was shocked. For some reason, her inner demon started to stir up again...
At this time, Bai Tingxin snorted coldly, slapped the puppet snake again, and said angrily: "I like her so much, but he actually likes my sister more. If he doesn't take me back to Beijun, I'll beat you to death!"
…
In the sky above Zhongjun, at a very high place, a flying boat was speeding past.
At a certain height below the Jiutian Gang Wind Layer, the atmosphere is relatively thin and the air is very stable. The airship passes quickly without any bumps.
Li Mu stood at the bow of the boat, looking at Yin Xin who was sitting cross-legged in the boat, practicing seriously, and couldn't help but sigh at his decision.
If he had brought another snake with him on this trip to Beijun, he would not be able to survive the whole trip.
Li Mu looked at her and thought about how she looked two years ago. It seemed that she was not much better than the one who listened to her heart. However, after her 18th transformation, she not only became more and more beautiful, but also her temperament became so lovable.
I wonder when the other snake will grow up.
Li Mu had already asked Yin Xin on the way. Their family had a very high status in the demon world of Beijun. There were very few monsters beyond the fifth level in Da Zhou. The White Demon King was the strongest among the demons of Beijun.
In the entire North County, most of the powerful monsters from the demon clan, such as the Green Bull Spirit, Tiger King, Rat King, etc., are serving under his command. Some other monsters, even if they are not under his command, can be said to be demons such as Green Bull and Tiger King.
Talk.
One day later.
Somewhere in the mountains of North County.
Tiger King came up to him with a big smile and said: "Brother Li, long time no see. I heard that you have become a high official in the imperial court. I haven't congratulated you yet. I must stay today and let's drink a few bottles of him..."
Bai Yinxin stepped forward and said: "Uncle Tiger, don't worry about drinking. You can call the other uncles over first. When we come back this time, we have important things to discuss with you."
The demons under the command of the White Demon King are scattered in the thirteen counties of Beijun. Except for the rat king and the green bull spirit who are relatively close, the rest will not arrive until tomorrow.
However, these three demons were the strongest. Even the White Demon King treated them as brothers. Naturally, Li Mu could not order them directly. After the three demons gathered together, Li Mu asked: "Three brothers, have you ever heard that
, the imperial court wants to naturalize the monsters in the Great Zhou Dynasty?"
The Green Bull Spirit nodded and said, "I heard about it, but I don't know if it's true or not. We're still waiting to see."
Tiger King said: "80% of it is fake. How can the human court be so kind? Even if they don't take action against us, they will let us be used as cannon fodder when they start a war with the Demon Country. This must be a poisonous plan thought up by someone.
"
Li Mu felt ashamed and said: "To be honest, I was the one who suggested this matter."
Qingniu Jing's eyes lit up, he suddenly looked at Li Mu and asked, "Is Brother Li serious?"
Li Mu nodded and said: "A large part of the reason for the conflict between the demon clan and the human clan in the Great Zhou Dynasty is that the court's laws are unfair. The demon clan has suffered a lot under this unfair law. I intend to alleviate it."
There is a conflict between the two races, so we are pushing this matter hard. However, the grievances between the demon race and the human race are too deep, and very few demon races are willing to trust the imperial court, so I am asking for your help."
Qingniu Jing said: "If the imperial court is really sincere, then this will definitely be an unprecedented good thing for the demon clan. We believe Brother Li, but we don't know if we can trust the imperial court."
Li Mu thought for a while and said: "I can't promise the future, but I can promise you that as long as I am in the court, the demon people of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be protected by the court. No matter who dares to hurt or kill the demon people, they will be protected by the court."
Punishment according to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty..."
Li Mu can only guarantee this.
As long as he is in the court, he can ensure that the demon people enjoy their legitimate rights and interests, but he cannot guarantee what happens after he leaves the court.
But this matter is inherently beneficial to the court, and they will not mess up this matter on their own. Even if the worst happens, and the monsters rise up, and the Zhou Dynasty falls into chaos again, it will be the bitter fruit they have sown, and it will not be the same as their own.
Li Mu has nothing to do with the Queen.
At that time, they didn’t know where to plant vegetables and flowers.
Qingniu Jing smiled and said: "Brother Li's words are enough. Don't worry. Don't talk about it elsewhere. The naturalization of the demon people in Beijun will be taken care of by us."
Li Mu talked with Ji Yao very late before going back to his room to rest.
Bai Yinxin led him into a room and said, "This was originally Ting Xin's room. She didn't come back. Brother Li will sleep here at night."
She glanced around and found that the room was in a mess. The quilt on the bed was also rolled up into a ball, and there was a snake-shaped pillow with its tail hanging on the ground...
The room was so messy that even she felt a little embarrassed to see it. She hurriedly stepped forward and cleaned it up while saying: "It's a bit messy here. Brother Li, please go out first, and then come in after I finish cleaning up."
Li Mudao: "Let me help you clean up..."
Outside the room, the Tiger King looked inside in astonishment and asked doubtfully: "Isn't Brother Li the sworn brother of the Demon King? Why did Yin Xin call him eldest brother? This generational hierarchy is messed up. Could it be that the eldest brother has severed the brotherhood with him...
"
The green bull spirit patted him on the shoulder and said: "Damn it, it's none of your business. Calling me brother is no better than calling me uncle. Let's go, don't stand here anymore, go and do your own business..."
The Tiger King showed a puzzled look on his face and murmured: "How can the eldest brother be closer than the uncle? It is obviously the uncle who is closer..."
…
Lying on the bed made by Yin Xin and sleeping under Ting Xin's quilt, Li Mu fell asleep quickly.
A few days ago, he was tortured so much by his two sisters, and his physical strength was exhausted. His overdrawn body had not fully recovered, and because of the long hours of dealing with memorials every day, his energy was extremely consumed. He slept until midnight before waking up.
When he woke up, Li Mu's physical and mental fatigue had been completely gone.
When his body and mind were completely relaxed, he even had a dream.
An extremely fragrant dream.
He and Liu Hanyan have been separated for several months, and he has also been abstinent for several months. These are difficult months for a newlywed young man who has tasted forbidden fruits for the first time and knows the taste of the marrow.
Li Mu admits that he is a womanizer, but a womanizer must have a bottom line.
However, things like dreaming are beyond the control of his subjective consciousness.
Li Mu smelled the fragrance belonging to Bai Tingxin on the quilt and vowed not to sleep here tonight. Recalling the content of the dream, he felt a little ashamed and sorry for calling him "Brother Bai" countless times.
Bai Yinxin had already gotten up and brought Li Mu toiletries.
Li Mu got out of bed and said, "Thank you Yin Xin, just leave it there and I'll do it myself."
Bai Yinxin still wetted the towel for him, wrung it out and handed it to him.
In fact, practitioners have their own supernatural power to ward off dust, but in many cases, they still maintain the habits of ordinary people, which can make them feel that they are still individuals at all times and reduce the possibility of inner demons arising during the process of practice.
After washing up, Li Mu walked out of the room.
The demons under the White Demon King have been summoned and have arrived overnight.
After hearing the Green Bull Spirit and Tiger King explain the purpose of summoning them, some monsters were overjoyed, while others expressed their worries.
"Could this be a conspiracy by the imperial court?"
"For no reason, how could they do something that is only beneficial to the demon clan?"
"It's a serious matter, so it's better to be careful..."
…
Monsters' defense against humans is engraved in their bones, blood and genes. Just a few words cannot convince them at all. Fortunately, due to the White Demon King's face, they did not reject it completely.
In order to dispel their concerns, Li Mu made some concessions.
Monsters in Beijun do not need to go to local government offices to become naturalized. He will transfer several officials from the county government to help them apply for monster registration right here, which can dispel some of their worries.
Many monsters believe that the whole thing is a conspiracy of the imperial court, and the day they go to the government for naturalization is the day they die.
In addition, the demon people of the Great Zhou Dynasty do not need to obey the orders of local officials.
After the demon people are naturalized, a demon department will be established to deal with monster matters. There are demon officials in the demon department, who are served by powerful local demon clans. They can receive a salary from the court and command the demon people of a county.
Although this will increase some of the expenditures of the treasury, after Li Mu reformed the Enshrinement Department, a large amount of expenditure was left for the treasury, which was more than enough to pay salaries to the demon officials of the Demon Division.
Monsters in each county, regardless of race, are prohibited from killing each other. Once discovered, the monster commander will directly capture the monster, report it to the court, and deal with it in accordance with the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
If a practitioner injures or kills a demon citizen, the Demon Commander can also capture him and hand him over to the court for disposal.
In addition, monsters with a certain level of strength can exchange for spiritual jade, magic weapons, talismans, elixirs and other spiritual resources by completing tasks issued by local governments.
When they heard about the benefits of becoming a demon, all the demons in Bei County were excited.
For them, entering the Great Zhou Demonic State seems to have only advantages and no disadvantages at all.
Weak monsters not only have difficulty cultivating, but they are also always worried about being devoured by big monsters. They hide in hiding on weekdays and do not dare to reveal the slightest bit of monster energy.
After joining the demon status, the weak rabbit demons, fox demons, etc. can also appear arrogantly in front of natural enemies such as tiger demons, wolf demons, and bear demons. If you dare to touch one of their hair, you will be punished by the demon boss and the court.
Not only was the safety of the little demon guaranteed, but the big demon also breathed a sigh of relief.
Their power is only relatively speaking. Compared with practitioners who have sharp magic weapons, powerful supernatural powers, and magical talismans, they are also absolutely weak. They usually only dare to hide in the deep mountains and old forests, and do not dare to appear in human cities.
Even so, you still have to worry about human practitioners coming to your door, killing them, and taking the Soul Demon Pill to practice.
With Yao Ji, everything is different.
Even monsters have a strong sense of belonging to the land beneath their feet.
If they can have a strong backer to back them up, who would want to be a weak and helpless mountain spirit wild monster?
From now on, their identity is no longer the wild spirits of the mountains, but the monsters of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Anyone who wants to do harm to them must carefully consider whether they can offend the Great Zhou court.
The White Demon King has great prestige in the hearts of the demons in Beijun.
After the news spread, monsters from all the counties in the North County began to rush here, fearing that they would be late and miss this golden opportunity.
Li Mu opened his eyes and saw large and small monsters in the mountains, and his face showed relief.
Sure enough, the demon clan does not trust the imperial court, but it trusts the demon clan.
This time, the White Demon King helped him a lot, and it was not in vain that he spent so much time on her two daughters.
It was late at night, and Li Mu was still thinking about various possible changes. Bai Yinxin knocked on the door, walked in with a bowl of ginseng soup, and said: "Brother Li, you have been busy all day, drink this bowl
Ginseng soup, go to bed early."
"Thank you Yin Xin."
Li Mu took the bowl and found that the soup in the bowl was neither cold nor hot. He took a few sips and then asked: "Yin Xin, are there any other empty rooms here?"
Bai Yinxin asked: "What's wrong? Is Brother Li uncomfortable sleeping here?"
Li Mu nodded and said, "I'm not used to sleeping in Ting Xin's room."
Bai Yin thought for a while and said, "Then I'll sleep here, and you sleep in my room next door."
After drinking the ginseng soup, she took Li Mu to her room. Although the two sisters were born to the same parents, their personalities were completely different, and their rooms were also completely different. The younger sister's room was as messy as a snake's nest, while the older sister's room was as messy as a snake's nest.
It's clean and tidy, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
The only thing the two rooms have in common is that the quilts are both very fragrant.
Li Mu lay on the bed and fell asleep amid a faint fragrance.
The next day, he still didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning.
Li Mu sat on the bed, recalling the dream last night. After being stunned for a long time, he slapped himself and said angrily: "You are really not a human being!"
