Li Mu looked up and down, looking at the little girl suspended in the air carefully. Until now, he still couldn't understand why Dao Zhong turned into a human.
I have only heard that flowers, plants, trees, beasts and insects can become spirits, but I have never heard that magic weapons can also turn into spirits.
Li Mu looked at her and asked the question he was most concerned about: "Can you still become a bell?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a small clock appeared under the little girl's body. She sat on the clock, blinking her big eyes and looking at Li Mu.
Li Mu was relieved, as long as the Dao Zhong was still there. If he really lost the bell, he would not only lose a powerful magic weapon, but also would not be able to explain to the Fu Lu Sect.
Then, he said to the little girl: "Actually, you misunderstood, I am not your father."
The little girl said stubbornly: "Dad."
Just as Li Mu was about to correct her, the Queen waved her hand and said, "It's useless for you to tell her this. It's because of you that she can transform. In her heart, you are her father, and in fact it is the same."
Li Mu's lips moved but he said nothing more.
What the Queen said makes sense. Although Dao Zhong has existed for a long time, it is much more difficult for a magic weapon to give birth to spiritual intelligence than a creature born with spiritual energy. She was immersed in it a lot by Li Mu's side.
He speaks human words, but his spiritual intelligence is equivalent to that of a two or three year old child.
She was born because of Li Mu, so she naturally regarded him as her father. The first person she saw was the queen, and she regarded her as her mother. Many animals also have similar habits.
If we take the word "father" in a macroscopic way, it is not limited to biology. It is not wrong to say that Li Mu is her father. After all, it was Li Mu who created her.
But her mother should be Liu Hanyan anyway. Li Muzheng was about to explain to her, but she stretched out her arms to the queen and said: "Mom, give me a hug..."
The Queen reached out and hugged her, with a smile on her face that Li Mu had never seen before.
Seeing the motherly queen, Li Mu swallowed back the words he had spit out in his throat.
Based on his understanding of the Queen, he can be sure that if she dares to ruin the Queen's interest, a very cruel outcome awaits him.
Women of this age are at a time when motherhood is overflowing, especially women of the same age as the Queen. Even if they get married late, their children can already run and jump. Although she is still young, she still has the nature of a woman.
Today, he had no intention of experimenting with Taoism. He said to the Queen with a complicated mood: "Your Majesty, how about I take her back first."
If such a little girl appeared in the palace, next to the queen, and called her "mother", if this matter spread, the entire court, the entire city of God, and even the entire Zhou Dynasty would be boiling.
The queen obviously knew this, and kissed the little girl gently on the face and said to her: "Go home with your father first, and mother will visit you later."
When Li Mu hugged the little girl and walked out of the palace, he was still thinking about what the queen had just said. How strange it sounded. It seemed that the little girl was really the same as Li Mu. However, Li Mu quickly put the matter aside.
He went to the back of his head and cast an invisibility spell on the little girl.
There have been rumors outside that he is the queen of the demon kingdom. If this is seen by the people of Shendu, there may be some gossip.
In Changle Palace, after Li Mu left, Zhou Wu summoned Shangguan Li and said lightly: "Let Zhang Chun, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and King Shou come to see me."
…
Returning to Li Mansion, Li Mu found that the courtyard was very lively.
Not only is Ting Xinyin and Xin Xin at home, but Fan Ji is also there.
He unlocked the little girl's invisibility spell. Wanwan who ran over was stunned for a moment and asked: "Sir, whose child is this?"
Liu Hanyan, Li Qing and others also looked at Li Mu.
Under the gaze of so many people, the little girl seemed a little shy. She hugged Li Mu's neck and said nervously: "Dad..."
Wanwan and Xiaobai were stunned, and the other pretty faces in the yard were even more shocked. Li Mu quickly said: "Listen to my explanation, things are not what you think..."
He made Dao Zhong turn into his original form and swore to God to gain their trust.
In fact, after Liu Hanyan and others discovered the little girl's identity, there was nothing to doubt. She was obviously a spirit body and could not be born from Li Mu and a ghost.
The cute little girl soon inspired the maternal brilliance of the girls, who gathered around Li Mu, sometimes touching her face, sometimes squeezing her arms.
Xiaobai suddenly asked: "Gonggong, what is her name?"
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, he really hadn't thought about this problem, so the girls started naming her enthusiastically.
Wanwan murmured: "What is her surname going to be? Is it Mr. Li's surname?"
Li Mu thought for a while and said, "My surname is Zhong."
After all, Dao Zhong belongs to the Fu Lu Sect, and it is not good to have his surname. Even if he is the future leader, it will not be easy for him to turn the sect's property into his own.
Regarding the name of the little girl Dao Zhong, the girls expressed their opinions, but no one could convince anyone. Liu Hanyan looked at her pink face and suddenly said: "Since she is the consciousness generated by Dao Zhong, why not call her Zhong?"
I guess..."
Li Qing agreed: "This name has a very good meaning."
Xiaobai also said: "Zhongyi Zhongyi, it sounds very good..."
Li Mu shook his head decisively: "This name is not good, absolutely not."
Liu Hanyan finally thought of this name, but Li Mu rejected it without any reason, and said dissatisfied: "Tell me, why can't this name work?"
Li Mu had no way to explain to her. When he was in a dilemma, Yin Xin suddenly stood up and took the initiative to help Li Mu out: "What about the name Zhong Ling? Zhong Ling'er is both her name and her identity..."
After the girls thought about it, they felt that this name was more suitable. Even Liu Hanyan gave up the original name. She picked up the little girl and said with a smile: "Ling'er, please listen to me."
This time, she didn't get what she wanted. No matter how she teased her or tempted her with delicious food, the little girl just kept silent.
Wanwan said: "Miss, she has just been born, so she doesn't know how to call her mother yet. Give her a lesson and she will learn it soon..."
At this time, there was a spatial fluctuation in the courtyard of Li Mansion, and the Queen's figure emerged.
The little girl stretched out her hands and said happily: "Mom..."
Li Mu looked at Liu Hanyan whose expression changed, and his eyes darkened for a while.
…
In the courtyard of the Li Mansion, several women were teasing the little girl Zhong Ling, Li Qing, Liu Hanyan and her maids, and they were conducting a three-court trial of Li Mu.
Before they could ask questions, Li Mu took the initiative to explain: "She is just a newborn baby. What can a baby think about? When it sees the first person, it will identify them as its parents. When she was born, I
Being with His Majesty in the palace, this is definitely not what I taught..."
As a doctor, Liu Hanyan was still angry. Li Qing pulled her wrist and said, "It's not his fault."
Liu Hanyan said angrily: "Why do you always protect him?"
One of the three interrogators has rebelled, and Li Mu is very pleased. As the leader, she has been protecting him since he met Li Qing. This kind of feeling is not something Liu Hanyan can understand.
Wanwan also held Liu Hanyan's hand and said, "Miss, I think the young master is right this time..."
Li Qing and Wanwan both stood by Li Mu's side. Even if Liu Hanyan was angry, he couldn't take it out on Li Mu. Li Mu struck while the iron was hot, grabbed her hand and said: "Children, they don't understand anything, teach them."
Once taught, you will know everything..."
Li Mu pulled her back to the yard and said to Zhong Ling: "When you see her in the future, you have to call her mother, you know?"
Zhong Ling nodded in understanding, looked at Liu Hanyan, and said in a sweet voice: "Second mother..."
Li Mu's eyes darkened again. She no longer expected this little ancestor to promote family harmony. As long as she didn't destroy it, no one could stand it. A good lady became a second mother.
Li Mu asked the Queen to take her away for the time being. Dao Zhong didn't have to do it, but the lady had to be coaxed.
When he walked into Liu Hanyan's room, he happened to see Fan Ji making a fire in front of Liu Hanyan.
She pretended to be thinking about Liu Hanyan and said, "Let me tell you, Zhou Wu is plotting against your husband-in-law. You have to be careful and don't let your husband-in-law be snatched away by others..."
Liu Hanyan glanced at her. The queen might have ulterior motives, but this fox was definitely not a good fox.
Li Mu formed a seal with his hands, Fan Ji was moved out, and the door was immediately closed.
Fan Ji stood in the yard, not angry at all, and left humming a song.
She couldn't defeat Zhou Wu, but someone could. No matter how high her status or strength was, she was still not an outsider in front of someone?
Li Mu walked to the bed, sat down next to Liu Hanyan, and said, "Why do you have to be angry with a little girl who has just awakened her intelligence?"
Liu Hanyan said: "Why am I not angry? You three are like a family of three. Who am I, the second mother?"
As the wife of his wife, she did have a reason to be angry. Li Mu could only hug her and comfort her: "It's my fault. I should consider the possibility of her transforming into another person. Considering that she can yell at people, I should
Let her transform at home..."
Listening to what Li Mu said, Liu Hanyan felt that he was being unreasonable and should not blame him for an unexpected incident.
Li Mu added: "I'll tell her later that she can't call you Your Majesty's mother in the future and ask her to call you you instead. If she doesn't listen, I'll spank her. If she doesn't listen, I'll send her back to the Fulu Sect..."
Liu Hanyan glared at him and said, "Why are you arguing with a little girl..."
Li Mu hugged her and asked, "Are you not angry anymore?"
Liu Hanyan turned his head and said nothing.
Li Mu thought for a while and said: "Aren't you just jealous of His Majesty? Zhong Ling calls me dad and her mother, but I still call her Your Majesty. We each have our own affairs..."
Liu Hanyan snorted softly and said, "You don't have to do your own thing. If you have the ability to marry His Majesty back home, what if the Li family lady asks her to do it?"
Li Mudao: "We have already gone to court and got married. No matter when, you will be a big wife."
Liu Hanyan looked at him and asked, "Do you really want to?"
Li Mu said seriously: "I swear, I don't want to."
He said this from the bottom of his heart. After experiencing the twists and turns of the past two days, Li Mu understood that it was his blessing that Liu Hanyan and Li Qing could live in harmony. In this family, apart from Wanwan and Xiaobai, no one else
There is no room for other women.
Even if it were to be accommodated, we would have to build another courtyard next door.
This is for his own sake.
Liu Hanyan's tone suddenly softened and she said: "Actually, I know that Sister Qing and I are always in retreat and cannot stay with you for a long time. This is unfair to you. Wanwan and Xiaobai are too young. If you want,
You can have someone who can always be by your side. Apart from Your Majesty, I think Ting Xin and Yin Xin would also be willing..."
Li Mu sneered in his heart. If Li Qing said this, how much would he believe it?
You can't even believe the words coming out of Liu Hanyan's mouth. If he dares to nod now, he will have to sleep alone in the study for the next three days. After knowing each other for many years, Li Mu will not understand her tricks?
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Are you kidding? I don't think so at all. Ting Xin and Yin Xin just came to see me for something. I'll go over there..."
Leaving Liu Hanyan's room, Li Mu came to the yard where the two sisters lived.
The two sisters were in the room. Li Mu stepped forward and asked, "Yin Xin Ting Xin, do you want to see me if you have something to do?"
Bai Tingxin looked at Li Mu reluctantly and said, "Father said in the spirit snail today that he wants us to go back to the East China Sea..."
Humans have a New Year, and dragons also have similar festivals.
They worship the dragon god on the second day of February every year, which is the most important festival of the dragon tribe. Both Yinxin and Tingxin have half of the dragon bloodline. The White Demon King and his wife have already gone to the East China Sea in advance.
Li Mudao: "I'll have someone send you to the East China Sea."
Yin Xin smiled and said, "No, there won't be any danger if we take the water route."
Li Mu thought for a while, with their current strength and wealth, they would have to hide away when they saw the fifth realm. Generally there would be no danger, but just in case, Li Mu still gave them two realm-breaking pills.
.
The elixir was refined by him when he was in the Demon Kingdom. In addition to giving it to Fan Ji's men, Li Mu also specially kept a few pills.
The strength of Yin Xin and Ting Xin has grown rapidly in the past few months, especially Ting Xin. Her cultivation level has surpassed that of Yin Xin. She has come from behind and is only one step away from the fifth realm. Needless to say, this is natural.
It's the Queen's contribution.
As long as you can hug the Queen's lap, the road to spiritual practice will be smooth.
Li Mu spent three days helping them refine the Realm Breaking Pill, and only sent them away after their cultivation levels had broken through.
Before leaving, the two sisters took the initiative to hug Li Mu. Ting Xin also gave Li Mu a spiritual conch for communication. Considering her clingy nature, Li Mu was worried that she would bother him by calling her spiritual conch every day.
, I didn’t want to accept it, but I was worried that they wouldn’t be able to contact him when something happened, so I had to accept it reluctantly.
Without the two sisters, the family was quite deserted. Liu Hanyan and Wanwan went to Miaoyinfang, and Xiaobai took Fanji to visit the capital of the gods. Apart from the four maids, only Li Mu and Li Qing were at home.
The two of them were sitting on the swing in the yard, with their fingers clasped together. Li Mu asked, "When will you return to Baiyun Mountain this time?"
Li Qing said softly: "Sister said to wait until after the Lantern Festival."
Li Mu was a little silent, but it was just silence.
Li Qing and Liu Hanyan are not ordinary women. It is impossible for them to stay at home to take care of their husbands and raise children like the women of ordinary people. It is impossible for them to give up and practice. The same is true for Li Mu himself, but his practice
The method is special and relies on mind power rather than retreat.
Next to Li Mu, the one who didn't care about cultivation and just wanted to plant flowers and grass was actually the empress with the highest cultivation level.
Li Qing felt Li Mu's emotional loss, and said with some guilt: "Actually, my sister and I know that this is unfair to you. If there is someone who can always be by your side, we will not object -
--But I heard from my sister that you refused?"
Li Mu looked at her blankly and asked: "You mean, she is not joking?"
…
Changle Palace.
Zhou Wu hugged Zhong Ling. The little girl shook her head, looked at her and asked, "Mom, does daddy not want us anymore?"
Zhou Wu kissed her face and said, "He will be here soon."
Not long after, Li Mu walked into Changle Palace with a regretful look on his face. Zhong Ling flew into his arms with fluttering arms. Li Mu sighed, looked at the Queen, and asked: "Your Majesty, what should I do?"
Zhou Wu glanced at him and said, "Don't ask me about the things you caused."
Li Mu thought for a while, and if she forcibly corrected Zhong Ling, it might cause irreparable damage to her young mind. No matter what, the child was innocent.
So he looked at the Queen and said, "Let's do this. From now on, Ling'er will call me father and your mother, I will call you Your Majesty, and you will call me Li Mu. How about we each do our own thing..."
