Chapter 835 Have You Met Any Other Girls That You Like?

Many mysteries were hidden in the green hills and clear waters in Qinling.

A waterfall cascaded down from a lofty cliff.

There was a cave behind the water curtain formed by the waterfall.

Li Mu was sitting in the cave, regulating his breath and performing the Xiantian Skill to recover from his injuries.

He and Bi Yan had encountered many dangers these days while fleeing for their lives.

Thanks to his Somersault Cloud skill and his ability to detect danger with his Third Eye, they managed to escape from danger every time. They didn’t engage in many fights, so they had time to take a breather and recuperate well. He had fully recovered from his physical injuries and his Divine Consciousness was almost restored to the peak level.

The number of cracks in the bones of his spine had decreased from more than one hundred to eight, but the remaining eight cracks did not heal even after a long time. This phenomenon made him feel puzzled.

Affected by these eight cracks, he could only exert about eighty percent of his physical strength.

“These cracks are quite strange. Why haven’t they healed after such a long time? I’ve never suffered such an injury before.”

Li Mu inspected his internal injuries and scrutinized the remaining eight cracks in the bones of his spine that were like eight black flood dragons coiled around his spine. These cracks looked like ancient chains covered by mysterious ancient runes. He had never seen such runes before, so he was not sure what kind of runes they were.

It seemed that he had to consult the old faker about that.

Having recovered from his injuries, he began to think about what to do next.

“I can’t let the pursuit go on like this. I have to find a way to get out of Qinling without being noticed by the major Divine Clans and then find the old faker and ask him for a plan. If the old faker couldn’t come up with a plan, I would have no choice but to leave Earth and go to the Ziwei Star Zone through that hidden path.

“Only the Ziwei Star Zone is not under the control of those Divine Clans.

“In the previous battle, the ancestors of the six major clans and most of the elite masters of these clans died, and according to what Bi Yan said, even the gods of these clans who had been controlling everything in the dark came quietly to Earth. That means the Ziwei Star Zone is empty now. With my current strength, I can basically remove all the obstacles there.

“Hiding in the Ziwei Star Zone is an option.

“Anyway, I think that while the major Divine Clans of the Celestial Court and the descendants of gods are on Earth, the gods of the six major clans who have descended to Earth probably can’t cause a lot of trouble. The goal that I have been working so hard to fulfill no longer exists. Therefore, leaving Earth is something acceptable.

“Going to the Ziwei Star Zone will also be a very good choice for Bi Yan.

“After all, the Green Fox Tribe is still in existence.”

While Li Mu was lost in thought, he suddenly heard footsteps.

Bi Yan, who was wearing a green dress, came from the direction of the underground river behind the waterfall carrying a small bamboo basket.

“Li Mu, you look much better.” She had a dazzling smile and a graceful figure. Her powers had been completely restored. Her cheeks were ruddy, her skin was as smooth as jade, and her beautiful hair billowed about like thin clouds. She had an extraordinarily beautiful face and a naturally charming and sweet aura. She said with a sweet smile, “There are a lot of spirit fish in the underground river. I caught some big spirit fish. I’m going to cook for you, and you’ll see if I’m good at cooking shortly.”

The goddess of the Green Fox Tribe was like an innocent girl now.

Li Mu nodded and said with a smile, “Okay.”

Bi Yan gradually overcame the gloom caused by the death of her father and the massacre against the people of the Green Fox Tribe. Li Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief. In the past few days, the major Divine Clans tried to hunt them down less frequently, so they finally had the time to take a breather and interact with each other more often.

Bi Yan sat down by the waterfall and began to scale and prepare the fish.

Given her current cultivation level, she could do the job in a flash, but she preferred to do everything with her own hands. She enjoyed the process very much. She was carrying out the task of a gentle woman cooking the best food for her beloved husband.

Li Mu was slowly practicing the Zhenwu Boxing to stretch his muscles and adjust his state. As he did that, he told Bi Yan his plan.

Bi Yan listened to him very carefully. After she heard the plan, she tilted her head sideways, glanced at Li Mu, and said with a sweet smile on her face, “Okay, it’s good to go back to the Ziwei Star Zone.”

Her smile was so gentle and sweet.

Li Mu felt relieved when he heard her reply.

He had been worried that she wouldn’t agree to go to the Ziwei Star Zone. After all, she had paid a great price for coming to Earth. He didn’t expect that she would agree at once.

“Will you go with me?”

Bi Yan smiled gently at Li Mu.

Li Mu said, “Maybe. After all, there are some people that I care about in the Star River.”

A trace of sadness flashed in the depths of Bi Yan’s eyes.

She lowered her head and looked at her reflection in the water. Then, she smiled and said, “You’re right. The Lady of the Clouds is still waiting for you... In fact, the scenery on the White Earth is not much inferior to that on Earth. You can settle down there or take the Lady of the Clouds there. She used to like the scenery there very much.”

Li Mu suddenly remembered Hua Xiangrong, who was still on the Heavenly Land Planet.

“I hope so,” Li Mu said.

Bi Yan nodded and prepared the fish in silence.

The white spirit fish had scales like those of a Silver Dragon. Its flesh contained the runes of living creatures, and it was a rare thing which was hard to come by. Even if it had been killed, its spiritual power was still bursting and fluctuating. Bi Yan was right. This kind of spirit fish was indeed a rare divine creature. When it was alive, it probably had extraordinary powers. Li Mu had no idea how she managed to catch it.

“I haven’t had much time to get along with the Lady of the Clouds. As a girl that you like and care about, she must have outstanding qualities,” Bi Yan said in a seemingly casual manner.

She put the fish in the bamboo basket and began to scale another one.

Li Mu said casually, “Yes, she is a very good girl.”

“Actually, perhaps I can consider her my wife.”

Suddenly, Bi Yan raised her head, glanced at Li Mu, and asked, “Li Mu, how many girls have you fallen in love with? Besides the Lady of the Clouds, have you met any other girls that you like?”

Li Mu was a little taken aback.

“Have I?

“Yes.”

When he was a junior high school student, he had a crush on his desk mate named Wang Shiyu.

Even after he came to the Heavenly Land, he still thought of that girl of his dreams many times and missed her very much.

Later, he heard that Wang Shiyu also came to the Heavenly Land. He was excited beyond words.

“Kill the rebellious lord!”

“Bring peace to the Northern Song!”

He still remembered her gentle kiss on his lips, which made his mind go blank.

In the depths of his heart, there would always be a place for her. In fact, he had never forgotten her.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t practice martial arts, which became a knot in her heart. As a result, she gradually grew more and more distant from Li Mu as time went by.

Li Mu remembered that someone once said that no matter how much time had passed, one’s crush would never fade whenever they saw their crush again.

He once imagined how he would feel if he saw Wang Shiyu again someday. He would probably be unable to control himself.

After all, she was the girl whom he had once been deeply in love with.

In fact, he was just an ordinary person.

The ways in which the old faker trained Li Mu were limited to sending him to a slaughterhouse to kill pigs and gain the so-called killing intent and instilling many myths and legends into him. In other aspects, the old faker set almost no restrictions on him.

Having been trained in such ways, Li Mu was much inferior to the successors trained by ordinary business families on Earth, not to mention the successors who were carefully cultivated by the people of major Divine Clans like Cloud Light Saintess and Lei Cang. In terms of personality, scheming, wisdom, character, vision, and other aspects, he grew freely like wildflowers and weeds.

His deficiency in handling emotions and feelings was his most obvious shortcoming.

Like other ordinary people and some of his peers, he was hesitant, indecisive, very passive, and irresolute. Hua Xiangrong moved him bit by bit with her actions before he finally considered her as someone who could be his wife.

He rarely calmed down and thought carefully about the relationships he had had.

He accepted many people and things passively.

That was why he was a little taken aback when Bi Yan asked him that question just now.

In the shortest time possible, he had thought of all the beautiful girls that once stayed by his side on the journey of life. The more he thought, the more lost he felt. He wondered if he had had a crush on any of the girls other than Hua Xiangrong and Wang Shiyu. The images of Ye Wuhen, Guo Qingyan, Zhao Ling, Qin Zhen the princess, and several other beautiful girls popped into his head.

Of course, Bi Yan was one of them.

They were so beautiful, lovely and outstanding.

Li Mu asked himself if he had ever coveted any of them.

However, he couldn’t remember.

Nonetheless, for some unknown reason, he remembered the faces of those girls very clearly. Every frown and smile on their faces seemed to be right in front of his eyes.

He looked at Bi Yan with uncertainty. It took him quite a while to give an answer, and he was not sure if the answer was the correct one. He said, “Yes.”

Bi Yan heaved a sigh of relief silently and smiled.

“Did you let every girl you like stay by your side?” she asked again.

As soon as she asked the question, she suddenly became nervous.

Li Mu shook his head instinctively.

The idea of monogamy on Earth was deeply rooted in his mind.

After all, he was a resident on Earth and had great respect for its traditions.

“Oh.” Bi Yan gently nodded without saying anything else.

She didn’t say a word until she put the delicious food on the stone table.

This beautiful, sweet, and charming girl had made stone bowls, cutlery, and trays. She used the stone bowls for soup and stone trays for the cooked fish. Although there were only a few fish, she managed to present a wide variety of delicious dishes using them. Those dishes tasted so good, as if they were not white spirit fish at all.

The meal lasted for half an hour.

Both Li Mu and Bi Yan remained silent.

After they finished their meal, Bi Yan asked with a smile on her face, “How do you like the dishes?”

Li Mu nodded and said, “They taste so good. I almost bit my tongue off.”

Bi Yan felt very happy. “I’m going to clear the table. You should have a rest. You’ve been so tired these days, so you need to get some sleep and recuperate.”

Li Mu wanted to say that he did not feel sleepy at all, but for some unknown reason, his eyelids suddenly felt heavy, and he suddenly grew drowsy. He hadn’t had such a feeling for a very long time.

Before he could say anything, he yawned, lay down by the stone table, and fell asleep.

He slept very soundly.

When he woke up, he felt like he had never slept so deeply in all these years.

He opened his eyes and found that the sky was dark. It was already night.

The moonlight was as cool and clear as water.

The waterfall was still rushing noisily.

However, Bi Yan had disappeared without a trace. Li Mu didn’t know where she was.

He found that the key fragments of the brass vessel on him were gone.
