Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

However, he did not reveal any of his secrets. Instead, he told the Xiexin Sect's secret in front of the Sect Master.

Indeed, the reason why many evil cultivators seek refuge in the Evil Heart Sect is precisely because of the "Blood and Flesh Secret Art" that has been passed down in the sect for nearly ten thousand years.

The results, of course, have already been seen.

Those deformed and bizarre creations, as well as the use of magic poison to condense the flesh and blood of the dead to recreate ghosts, or the use of living people to make puppets, and the more extreme and mysterious blood sacrifices...all of these were not thought up by some evil cultivator in the Evil Heart Sect who suddenly upgraded his brain.

Instead, it was obtained by chance by the first leader of the Xiexin Sect after the Xuantian catastrophe.

This is a secret that is not to be passed on. The reason why it is not to be passed on is that once this matter is spread, the reputation of the Xiexin Sect will plummet. Everyone will know that the so-called "No. 1 Evil in the World" of the Xiexin Sect actually relied on the "wisdom" of others.

As the conversation went on, the Evil Heart Sect Leader suddenly felt that there were times when he was being controlled by someone... He hadn't had this feeling for a long time, but today, a young master of the clan who had returned from the dead made him feel that long-lost interest.

Moreover, the headquarters of the Xiexin Sect was hidden under layers of barriers. The fact that he could find this place showed that his background was definitely not simple.

No matter what kind of power Murong Zun represents and what his purpose is, these are all mysteries. Now that the Evil Heart Sect Leader can't even see through Murong Zun, how can he rely on him to know more secrets?

It’s just that Murong Zun’s current state makes Xiexin Sect Master somewhat fearful even though he is interested in him.

The young master of the Murong clan, in terms of the arrogant and unrestrained geniuses in the world, Lu Mu is the first, and he can be considered second only because Murong Zun hides his ambition and evilness very well. But even such a person who does not even care about God, now opens his mouth and talks about "supreme glory", not hiding his enthusiasm and admiration for the so-called "glory".

It is never easy to corrupt people's hearts.

"…If we want to reach a cooperation, I am of course interested in it. However, the people behind you sent you here, which seems to be a bit disrespectful to me."

"When it comes to sincerity, you guys are lacking a lot."

The Evil Heart Sect Leader thought for a while before speaking, his words full of contempt.

Murong Zun was not annoyed. He just casually took out a palm-sized black box, snapped his fingers, and threw it in front of the Evil Heart Sect Master. The latter, with demonic energy surging around him, caught it. Then, a pale hand stretched out from the surging demonic shadow.

"... Hmm, interesting."

He held the black box, and the contents kept pouring into his mind. Just seeing the tip of the iceberg made his heart tremble.

"Master, there is no need to doubt our sincerity."

Murong Zun was confident from the beginning to the end. He knew that the "chips" he offered would definitely make the Xiexin Sect Master understand.

"Hahaha, it seems that Master Murong and the people behind you understand what I want."

The Evil Heart Sect Leader laughed loudly, causing the demonic energy to rage wildly like a storm, but Murong Zun remained unmoved in the chaotic aura of this powerful saint.

"You are sincere, since you want to cooperate, then let's cooperate. But I don't know what my Xiexin Sect is going to do?"

"Southern Region, Old Dragon's Tomb."

……

It took about five days to return to Tianque City from Nanling Royal City.

There is no need to take a long detour on the road, and there is no need to worry about being discovered by Hong Zhan's men, so it takes less time to travel.

Night falls, the moon is bright and the stars are few.

In the Tianque City Palace, Lu Mu was sitting at the desk when there was a knock on the door.

Lu Mu opened the door and waited outside for Huang Yanyao, who was wearing a light palace skirt. The skirt was very decent and thin. When the breeze blew, the light skirt fluttered behind her like a piece of fine silk. There were crystal lanterns hanging in the corridor, and the light gauze swayed slightly under the crystal lanterns, casting a soft shadow on her slender legs in the dim corridor.

"What brings you here so late at night?" Lu Mu asked with a smile.

Huang Yanyao chuckled, raised her eyebrows slightly, and stared at him, "Will you reject me?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Mu just smiled back and then stepped aside. Huang Yanyao then walked in, bringing with her a faint fragrance from her body that tickled his nose and made him feel itchy. Lu Mu took a deep sniff and closed the door.

She moved lightly with lotus steps, her eyes wandering around the room, moving back and forth on the table and the flower vines. She picked up her hair while looking around the room. Lu Mu was waiting. He knew that Huang Yanyao must have something to say when she came here, and she was just waiting for the opportunity to speak.

Finally, Huang Yanyao chose to sit down on the edge of the bed. After she sat down, her eyes wandered over Lu Mu. Her eyes were light, but not cold. "How is your injury?"

Like a clear spring flowing, it carries a hint of worry.

"No problem."

Lu Mu walked to the table, where there was a pot of brewed tea. He took two teacups and filled them 70% full.

He handed a cup to Huang Yanyao.

"You're still taking too much risks. This is not good."

She didn't drink it, but just held it in her palm, feeling the temperature gradually warming her up.

"Fighting Hong Zhan alone is called adventure."

"I am confident and I have a trump card."

"Then why do you think I don't have it?"

Lu Mu sat down next to her, sipped his tea, and watched the bitter smile on Huang Yanyao's lips widen a little, and then quickly disappeared. They both knew that there was no point in saying these words now, but she just wanted to say them.

He was alone, facing an evil elder whose cultivation level was much higher than his. Huang Yanyao knew that he was seriously injured, but she could not bring herself to blame him, because he did it for her, and she should be grateful.

Lu Mu sniffed the faint body fragrance in the air, then glanced at Huang Yanyao: "How are the others?"

Huang Yanyao raised her head and her eyes wandered around the room. "Feng Ling woke up yesterday and her injuries have mostly healed. Li Heng said that she argued with him for a long time as soon as she woke up, asking why I didn't argue with her and asked me not to go deep into Hong Zhan's territory alone... Now she is recruiting new maids."

Lu Mu smiled slightly: "It really sounds like her."

Huang Yanyao also laughed, of course, her smile was much prettier than Lu Mu's. "Xin Jian has woken up, but his injuries are too severe, so he needs to recuperate for a while."

Lu Mu nodded, then fell silent. Suddenly, his words stopped. An intriguing atmosphere was intertwined in the room, as if it turned into a soft warm current, wandering in the room.

The two of them turned their heads at the same time and looked at each other. Even their breathing was clearly audible. The laziness in her eyes was gradually filled with a certain emotion. That emotion was transmitted to Lu Mu through her gaze, and also made his body stiffen a little.

"you made it."

She curled her red lips, smiled like a flower, and stared at Lu Mu without blinking, as if she wanted to see into his soul.

"I already like you."

Chapter 131: A feeling that cannot be ignored

It took Lu Mu only a little over a month to come to the Central Region and be by her side.

When they first met, the two of them were in Huang Yanyao's bedroom, drinking together across a table. In that private welcome, both parties actually had thoughts that were not easy to guess.

That wasn't really a welcome, it was more of a confrontation.

Huang Yanyao still remembered her aggressiveness, which was no less than anyone else's. It was as if she wanted to force out all the secrets in Lu Mu's heart. Every time they clinked glasses, her words became sharper. Her aggressive look would probably make anyone feel difficult to deal with.

But she didn't completely trust Lu Mu at that time.

But just one month later, everything changed.

She once thought that she had great self-control and confidence. The philandering Young Master Lu came for her body and soul, but she would never let him get what he wanted. On the contrary, Huang Yanyao wanted to get many benefits from him.

Indeed, there are many benefits.

All the great things that Huang Yanyao accomplished within this month could not have been accomplished without him, so she could be considered to have successfully reaped the benefits.

But she also lost her heart.

Just as she said, Lu Mu won.

Huang Yanyao has fallen in love with him, no matter how shallow the feeling is. She can suppress the distracting thoughts in her heart, and she can't continue to ignore that feeling.

"Really? You like me?"

“…I’ll only say this once.”

"But I want to hear it again."

Lu Mu was stunned for a moment, then he laughed softly, his laughter was low, mellow and pleasant.

Huang Yanyao looked away, she felt it was too shameful to say "I like you" in front of him, but Lu Mu seemed to be determined to pursue her, and was quite relentless.

"Did not say."

"…Really not going to tell me?"

"Do not."

His eyes darkened and he pushed her down, causing the teacup to fall to the ground.

The two of them were close to each other. Huang Yanyao was a little thin, and even through a thin layer of skirt, Lu Mu could still feel the soft touch from his fingertips. For some reason, Huang Yanyao felt that the feeling of his fingertips was very comfortable, as if she was soaking in a hot spring. She was so comfortable that she couldn't help but moan softly.

He looked at her with burning eyes, "What now?"

Lu Mu found two acupoints on Huang Yanyao's shoulders and pressed them casually, making her shrink a little like a kitten being caressed.

The warm breath sprinkled on her cheeks, and Huang Yanyao was a little flustered, "Don't... mess around."

She didn't struggle at all. When Lu Mu pressed her down, he couldn't feel any panic on her body, which seemed to make her like it a little bit. So Lu Mu buried his head in her neck and sniffed her scent deeply. Huang Yanyao felt a tingling sensation in her neck and her whole body softened.

"Lu Mu, you..."

She was about to scold Lu Mu for going too far, but his tongue touched her ear, tenderly and lovingly: "Do you... like me?"

Huang Yanyao paused, her face flushed so red that it seemed like water was about to drip out of it. What he wanted was actually to hear her say that sentence again. Because his hands were still very honest and did not cross the line at all, he could have been even more unbridled.

"Oh, you are really...Okay, I like you."

She deliberately avoided looking directly into Lu Mu's eyes. The pink on her cheeks was dyed very deep, and that touch of shyness was as gorgeous as a blooming peach blossom, beautiful and eye-catching.

The shame is extreme.

But in that shame, Lu Mu could feel a special emotion.

Unlike Murong Xue and Luo Shuangning, Huang Yanyao has always been the one who has the least courage to express her love among all the "protagonists" in their harem, because she is the emperor, and the emperor must appear to have no weaknesses.

Tonight, Lu Mu allowed herself to break through her only weakness.

"Can you let me go?"

She pouted, not daring to imagine how hot her face would be right now.

"Of course, but before that, let me give you a reward. I always give rewards to good girls."

Lu Mu bent down and kissed her between the eyebrows, then slowly slid to her forehead, nose bridge, cheeks, corners of her mouth... and finally landed on her rosy lips.

Such a light kiss is fleeting.

Lu Mu let her go with a smile. Huang Yanyao sat up, straightened her messy skirt, and glared at him viciously.

“It’s barbaric.”

"That's more barbaric than anything you've seen yet."

Lu Mu's fingers gently stroked her thin lips, feeling the wetness he left behind.

"You..." Huang Yanyao glared at him angrily, but in the end the anger just turned into a sigh that she swallowed in her heart.

Lu Mu sometimes seems to have a very childish persistence, but this doesn't make people hate him. It only makes people like him more. She thinks it's good anyway. After all, it feels good if she is less overbearing sometimes and lets him be the one in control of everything.

In fact, Huang Yanyao is not really capable of that kind of dominance.

"Father saw you before."

Huang Yanyao stroked her hair, her voice a little low.

"Well, don't worry. He didn't get angry with me. After all, I call him Uncle Li. When you were not a princess yet, he often came to visit the Lu clan."

Lu Mu hugged her, and Huang Yanyao was happy to lean on him. She lowered her head slightly, and her long hair covered her facial expression, making it difficult to tell what she was thinking. After a long while, she said sullenly, "Do you think there is no father-daughter relationship between him and me?"

"..."

"Don't be silent, and don't think about other answers, just tell me."

"A bit, more like the feeling between an emperor and his subjects."

Hearing this answer, Huang Yanyao sighed.

"Not only is there no father-daughter relationship, there is also nothing else..."

She didn't say it explicitly, but Lu Mu knew she was referring to the kinship among the royal family. In fact, it wasn't like kinship, because apart from having a common father, they were like strangers.

Lu Mu knew more, for example, that in the future, all of her royal brothers and sisters, except for the fifth prince who was also born out of wedlock, died on her way to the throne and became the most noble corpses for her to step on.

But maybe the Sixth Princess can be alive now, who knows.

It is actually very cruel.

Huang Yanyao remained silent for a long time before she raised her head and looked at Lu Mu: "I know you have other women, such as Murong Xue. She looks more likable than me, so... I'm a little scared."

Lu Mu more or less understood her feelings. Because she lacked love, when she felt that she could get love from Lu Mu, Huang Yanyao was very afraid that others would take away what she deserved.
