Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

"Heh, the Immortal Phoenix Emperor is indeed very cautious."

Lu Mu shook the edge of the stove, and a wisp of fragrant green smoke floated along his knuckles and then dissipated.

Lu Renyou attacked twice at that time. Although he did it covertly enough the second time, the activation of Taoist magic weapons would definitely leave traces. Then the strongest man of the Xianhuang Empire smelled the scent and came over.

The Tianhuang Worshiper, the highest-level worshiper supported by the royal family, often has cultivation at the Creation Manifestation Realm, which is one level higher than Lu Renyou's Creation Suspended Sea Realm. He is someone he cannot beat.

Lu Mu ordered Lu Renyou not to let Emperor Xianhuang know that he was in Southern Xinjiang, so Lu Renyou had no choice but to lead the priest who had been chasing him away and wait for an opportunity to escape. Now that guy is probably looking for him somewhere in Western Xinjiang.

By the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late.

Lu Renyou will not give others a second chance to track his movements.

Of course, the only one who can mobilize such powerful people is the Immortal Phoenix Emperor.

Although the noise caused by Lu Renyou was not big, at most he just opened a space lock to hinder others. Even so, the Emperor Xianhuang sent a highest-level priest to secretly go to the southern border to find out the situation. This shows that the emperor is very suspicious, or it can be said that he is cautious enough.

"Did that person notice the unusual movements from King Nanling's side?"

Lu Mu's eyes were fixed on the sleeping Huang Yanyao's face, wanting to see more closely, but his mind was not on that.

Lu Renyou lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before shaking his head. "I discovered that man before he even set foot in Southern Xinjiang. Just in case, I deliberately leaked his presence to lead him westward. He had no chance to investigate Southern Xinjiang."

Lu Mu turned his head to look at him. Lu Renyou paused and continued, "Of course, if things here are not resolved soon, I will eventually be unable to hide, and so will you. This may cause unnecessary trouble. After all, the Immortal Phoenix Emperor does not like external clan forces to interfere with the situation. Perhaps he will be dissatisfied with the Lu clan..."

As the clan leader's confidant, Lu Renyou always sided with the clan, and sometimes with his own young master, but that was all spontaneous. Although he was pleased to see Lu Mu having good relationships with so many women of good family backgrounds and high talents, he would not agree if the clan's interests were to be compromised for the sake of women.

So for all these years, Lu Renyou remained a bachelor. With his status, he could easily get women, but he just didn't want to get married, thinking that it would affect his contributions to the Lu clan.

Even if he didn't say it, Lu Mu also knew the limits.

The Lu clan has a very good relationship with the Xianhuang Dynasty.

But no matter how good the relationship is, no one will tolerate others interfering in their own territory. The Lu clan is not afraid of interference. After all, the relationship between clan members is not ironclad, but at least seamless. The imperial dynasty is quite different.

Such a vast territory is full of dangers. If there is a little chaos, the destiny of the country will be affected. It may happen once or twice, but if it happens too much, no one can handle it.

"I know the truth about this matter, so please don't say more, Elder."

"Yes."

As for whether Lu Mu listened to him or not, Lu Renyou didn't care much. He knew how to measure his words and wouldn't let others dislike his words.

"That girl's injuries are quite serious. I'm not good at healing. Please take a look at the situation."

Lu Mu pointed at Feng Ling who was lying next to Huang Yanyao.

Lu Renyou responded, saying there was no need to go over. He swept his spiritual sense through Feng Ling's body and saw everything inside the body clearly. His breath was disordered, his veins were weak, and his dantian was broken. It was impossible for such an injury to heal on its own, but he also couldn't use random elixirs on such a fragile body, otherwise it would only backfire.

Lu Renyou frowned, "Young Master... her injuries are quite serious. Her Dantian is shattered, and her true energy is no longer protected. Her true energy is already dissipating. Pills can naturally cure it, but her Qi and blood are also severely depleted, and her body can't withstand the power of the medicine."

He didn't say it definitely, but Lu Mu understood what he meant.

"Is there no other way?"

"There is a way. If you called me back just to save her, then you already know what to do."

Lu Mu sighed lightly, stretched out his left arm, put two fingers of his right hand together, and gently drew a line. Blood gushed out. Lu Renyou's true energy immediately wrapped around the flowing blood and quickly condensed it.

The method was very familiar, that was to use his blood to condense essence blood containing the power of the Nine-Winged Holy Phoenix. This was the best healing medicine in the world.

When Lu Mu first obtained the Holy Phoenix Bone, he never thought that his blood could be used to save people from then on.

Really good fortune.

Chapter 91: Awakening

It's still the same. If it was a real Nine-Winged Holy Phoenix, any drop of blood would do. But he is a serious man. If he wants to condense such a healing blood essence from his own blood, Lu Mu can't do it by himself. He must have help from someone with more advanced strength.

This was how he had saved Luo Shuangning, whose evil spirit had lost control.

But as for Feng Ling... Lu Mu didn't have such thoughts at first. After all, they were not really familiar with each other, and she was not the woman Lu Mu liked.

But, if I don’t save her, what will happen to Huang Yanyao?

If she knew that she paid such a heavy price but failed to save her closest female official, she would probably be depressed for a long time.

Lu Mu couldn't bear to see the beauty suffer, so he could only suffer himself.

"Just think of it as her owing me a favor."

As the blood was drawn out and condensed, Lu Mu's breathing gradually became rapid, but not as severe as before.

"If you don't tell the Ninth Prince, she won't know that it was you who saved that woman."

Lu Renyou reminded.

Lu Mu was silent for a moment before saying, "She may ask, or she may not. It would be best if she asks, but if she doesn't... that's fine too."

He doesn't care much about that.

A drop of blood with golden light condensed, and Lu Renyou pointed his finger, and the blood drop quickly merged into Feng Ling's body.

It seemed that nothing had changed, but Lu Mu knew that Feng Ling's life was no longer in danger.

"The situation is special now. You should leave Southern Xinjiang first, lest the Immortal Phoenix Emperor sends someone else to track down the traces you left behind."

Now that the work was done, Lu Mu didn't plan to let Lu Renyou stay here any longer.

Lu Renyou was also a hardworking person, so after the young master spoke, he said no more, but bowed and then disappeared into the shadow of the bedroom. There was no sign when he came, and no trace when he left.

Most of the cultivators in the Creation Realm are very mysterious. It is not because they behave like this, but after entering the Creation Realm, they feel more mysteries of the world, and then they will change unconsciously. In short, the behavior of the masters appears imperceptibly.

Lu Renyou is like this.

Lu Mu looked at Huang Yanyao who was sleeping peacefully, his eyes gradually softened. He bent his head, placed a kiss on her forehead, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

feels good.

Although Huang Wumeng could definitely see it, what could she do even if she saw it?

Lu Mu was not afraid of being found out by Huang Yanyao.

……

When the sun rose, the noise and killing in Tianque City stopped.

Huang Yanyao also woke up at this time.

The blurriness in front of her eyes lingered for a long time, the tingling pain all over her body did not subside, and her head felt like it was about to explode. The pain made her want to curl up into a ball, but she couldn't even muster the strength to move her little finger.

Huang Yanyao just lay there in silence, trying to make her thoughts a little clearer. After all, her head was aching, as if it was filled with paste.

After half an incense stick of time, she finally felt much better.

Huang Yanyao gritted her teeth and endured the pain. The blurriness in front of her eyes gradually faded away. The first thing she saw clearly was the familiar bed curtains on her bed.

This is in her bedroom.

The memory fragments quickly returned. Huang Yanyao's eyes flickered. She looked inward at her Dantian and found that her true energy was not full. The raging demonic energy had been completely devoured. Perhaps she would need to rest for a day or two before she could recover to her full strength.

Huang Yanyao tried to sit up, but it pulled the wound on her body and she almost cried out in pain. She forced herself to suppress her voice, supported her body and moved slowly.

"Hmm~"

As soon as she moved, the penetrating wound on her waist and abdomen was pulled, causing a tearing pain that made Huang Yanyao gasp. She quickly took a deep breath and relaxed for a long while before she felt the pain relieved a lot.

"Don't move."

Huang Wumeng's voice always sounds at the right time.

Since the ancestor told her not to move, Huang Yanyao also did not move. She stared blankly at the ceiling and thought to herself, "Ouch, it still hurts."

"It's natural to feel pain. In order to refine the demonic energy you devoured, you almost drained your true energy. Without true energy, you can't heal this injury. I've already told you that if you want to save your lady, the price will be very high, and you may not be able to save her."

When Feng Ling was mentioned, Huang Yanyao tightened her dazed spirit. She turned her head and saw Feng Ling sleeping beside her. Her breathing was steady and her face was rosy. The warm light from the window sprinkled on her cheek, casting a soft light yellow halo on it, which was very peaceful.

"Is she okay?"

"I have checked on her, and she is now fine, but the credit cannot be attributed to you."

"What does this mean, ancestor..."

"She was already seriously injured, and in order to forcibly take that demonic energy, you injured her even more seriously. You also know the consequences of a broken dantian. If it weren't for that kid from the Lu family who cured her with blood, your maid would be a dead body now."

"Blood?"

"He has his own adventures, so you don't need to meddle in his affairs. Although I have always had a low opinion of men, he is still worthy of your thanks."

Huang Wumeng's words have always been sharp.

At this time, Huang Yanyao saw Lu Mu, who was sitting cross-legged beside the bed with his eyes closed and regulating his breathing.

This was not the first time she looked at Lu Mu, but she had new feelings every time. For example, now, her eyes seemed to be sucked in. Her body still couldn't move, but there was an urgent voice in her heart, driving Huang Yanyao to touch his face.

This desire became stronger and stronger, and Huang Yanyao even had the urge to break free from the shackles of her body and crawl over. However, this urge only lasted for a moment before she suppressed it.

Lu Mu opened his eyes at this time.

A few hours of breathing exercises are enough to replenish the depleted Qi and blood.

Then he found that Huang Yanyao had woken up.

"How about it?"

Lu Mu stood up and placed his palm on her cheek. The touch was warm. Huang Yanyao's eyes flickered slightly and she leaned her head towards his hand, getting closer to him.

She pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Finally, she said it.

"……Thanks."

Huang Yanyao's voice was as thin as a mosquito, with a hint of shyness.

"What did you say?"

Lu Mu had excellent hearing, but he pretended not to hear clearly and smiled gently.

Huang Yanyao didn't intend to say anything more. She could see that Lu Mu was teasing her intentionally. Her cheeks flushed, she opened her mouth slightly, and bit his finger.

Of course, it didn't hurt. Instead, Lu Mu felt her tongue, which was like cotton candy covered in nectar, wet, slippery and soft.

Lu Mu's eyes narrowed suddenly, and a teasing light shone through his eyes, "Are you born in the year of the dog?"

"……cut."

Huang Yanyao turned her head away, snorted as if in anger, and said nothing more. It might also be that she did not have the energy to speak.

Lu Mu looked at the moist marks on his fingertips… If he didn’t care so much about his face, he could taste the moist marks on his fingers in front of Huang Yanyao, which would surely stun the Ninth Princess lying on the bed.

But he still has some dignity.

Chapter 92: Something that will happen sooner or later

The sunlight came in, making the bedroom warm, and there was also the fresh medicinal scent that Huang Yanyao liked very much. She saw the incense burner on the table that had never been extinguished, and guessed that Lu Mu had been adding fuel to the fire.

He went out and came back quickly. Lu Mu went to get a basin of warm water, placed it beside the bed, then helped Huang Yanyao up, but she still fell into his arms.

"Can't you use your strength?"

Lu Mu asked with a frown. She looked much better, but the weakness might last for a long time.

Huang Yanyao shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

Lu Mu guessed that maybe she just wanted to lean on his arms. After all, he had hugged many women like this, and all of them said it was very comfortable and had good reviews. Huang Yanyao might be no exception.

Lu Mu wrung out the towel and wiped her. In fact, he had already wiped her last night. She was very clean and smelled good, but he still liked to do this, especially now. Huang Yanyao was lying obediently in his arms. He could see her eyelashes trembling as the towel wiped her. He didn't know whether she was enjoying it or embarrassed.

"You took care of me all night?"

Her voice was hoarse.

"Otherwise there will be no one else to take care of you."

Lu Mu still remembered that there were corpses of female officials outside the bedroom. He was afraid that Huang Yanyao had killed them all... She had no choice but to do so.

"Then...where is Sister Yunxi?"

"She led the troops to defend the city. After all, your army will not listen to me, but they will listen to her."
