Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

Gu Yunxi didn't want to talk to this guy anymore.

Lu Mu put her on the bed, covered her with the quilt, and then kissed her on the forehead.

Gu Yunxi stared at him, wondering with mixed feelings whether this would become her most unforgettable memory in the future, or the most unbearable memory.

Lu Mu turned around and looked at her: "What do you want to say?"

Gu Yunxi hesitated, "Actually..."

"You can choose not to say it." Lu Mu added for her.

Gu Yunxi immediately shut her mouth.

Her legs were still numb and weak. When Lu Mu was massaging her legs just now, she almost couldn't control herself and made strange noises. Fortunately, Lu Mu stopped in time.

Not to mention, when Lu Mu's fingers started moving, the touch of her own fingers became dull.

Gu Yunxi didn't say anything, and Lu Mu didn't ask any further questions, but just accompanied her quietly.

When she finally regained her strength, her legs were no longer numb, and the afterglow faded away, she propped herself up on the bed and straightened the messy tassels of her skirt: "Let's go."

Calculating the time, it’s time to reach Tianhuang City.

Lu Mu's gaze fell on Gu Yunxi's cheek, which was still slightly flushed, which might not fade away so quickly.

"Look at me again and I'll poke your eyes out."

She glanced over, her vicious tone coupled with her shy expression naturally had no intimidating effect at all.

I've never heard of anyone being scared to death by being shy and cute.

"By the way, take this." He ignored her gaze and took out a crystal glass bead necklace. "My gift."

This was something he had prepared long ago.

Although it is okay to give it to her earlier, sometimes gifts have to be given at the most appropriate time to have the best effect, such as now. No one doesn't like gifts.

Gu Yunxi's eyes lingered on Lu Mu and the necklace, but she didn't take it.

"Like it?"

She nodded.

He understood, so Lu Mu personally pushed the black hair away from her neck and helped her put it on.

"If you want me to help you bring it, you can just tell me next time."

He lowered his eyes and gazed at her, a hint of tenderness appearing in his deep eyes, as if she was a treasure in his palm.

"I can't speak."

Gu Yunxi couldn't help but look away, her ears turning red.

"And don't look at me like that."

Her heart was beating fast and her chest felt hot.

"Oh?" Lu Mu raised his eyebrows, with a smile in his eyes, "Why?"

Asking questions even though you already know the answer is the oldest trick in the world.

She pursed her lips, remained silent, and said nothing.

Because I'm sorry...

But Gu Yunxi could never tell Lu Mu this; she just expressed it through her actions.

She leaned over and pressed a kiss on the side of Lu Mu's face, leaving a lingering kiss mark like a dragonfly touching the water.

"Okay."

She stepped aside with satisfaction and walked out of the room without looking back.

Lu Mu stroked his cheek and looked at her with eyes full of indulgence.

The spirit ship docked next to the palace in Tianhuang City. Huang Yanyao had already known about their arrival, so when they got off the ship, her Fairy Phoenix female guards were waiting for them. Then Murong Xue and Luo Shuangning were led to the guest rooms, while Lu Mu and Gu Yunxi were led to the study.

In the study, Huang Yanyao seemed to have some rare free time. She was taking good care of a pot of spiritual plants in front of her, very focused.

Her long hair was draped behind her head, with slightly curled temples. She still had the familiar beauty with cold eyes. She was wearing a black and gold palace dress that tightly outlined her figure. This was also Huang Yanyao's usual attire, but it was slightly different from the dress that Lu Mu remembered.

Although the skirt still wrapped her breasts fully, there was a delicate hollow on her chest, revealing a piece of tender white. Her delicate and slender collarbone was like a porcelain bowl, filled with scattered light pouring in from the window.

She just stood there quietly, her long, straight and well-proportioned legs were under her skirt, but her fair ankles were wrapped in a circle of white silk lace, and the skin exposed between the hem of her skirt and her boots was like tofu soaked in water.

Huang Yanyao cut off a protruding branch on the spiritual plant, then raised her head.

“Ah, here it comes.”

Lu Mu's eyes were somewhat moved.

The Ninth Princess did not change much. She did not become more mature or charming, but she just looked more distracting.

That is majesty.

The majesty of the empress was beginning to take shape. She was just standing there, but a suffocating sense of oppression inexplicably shrouded her surroundings.

However, when Huang Yanyao showed a slightly softer expression, the majesty disappeared. She walked over, hugged Gu Yunxi, then looked at Lu Mu and said, "The person who took my heart finally knows how to come back to see me."

Her tone was teasing, but if you listened carefully, there was also a sense of vague loss.

"I haven't taken your body yet, have I?"

Lu Mu raised his hand, held Huang Yanyao's little face, and pulled her towards him, with their noses touching.

The possessiveness was clearly revealed at this moment.

Long before he left the Southern Region, the vague feelings between them had been acknowledged. Although it was acknowledged, Huang Yanyao had no intention of giving her all to Lu Mu so quickly.

Her ambition is still growing.

Chapter 56: Always Suitable for Me

Huang Yanyao is not a woman who can be easily convinced.

No one in the world can compare to her ambition and aspirations, including Lu Mu.

When the entire Central Region is ruled by her alone, Huang Yanyao's name will be more famous than anyone else's. This is exactly the case with her now. Even though she is in this study, what she is thinking about in her mind is definitely not this mere spiritual plant in front of her.

"You want my body?"

Huang Yanyao gently blew her breath onto Lu Mu's chest, scratching it lightly as if it was an itch.

Lu Mu shook his head, stared at her slowly, and whispered slowly: "Are you willing to give it to me?"

Huang Yanyao was stunned, her breathing trembling slightly.

But she didn't care about the fire in Lu Mu's eyes at all. The heat seemed to ignite her excitement, so she suddenly became bolder and reached her hand down. However, before she touched the heat she wanted, she was caught by Lu Mu.

His fingers slid along her chin to her neck, then he held her waist and held her in his arms, his warm breath spraying in her ears: "Be careful, playing with fire will not end well."

"I want to see what you can do to me."

She laughed quietly.

Gu Yunxi's face flushed red, and she coughed lightly, completely breaking the hazy yet hot and anxious atmosphere.

My dear sister, please don't play with fire.

This stinky man is very good at it.

The consequences of her playing with fire last time were left for her to bear just now.

Gu Yunxi couldn't help but squeeze her legs together. She began to regret why she had to wear this kind of short skirt that reached her thighs, with only a few layers of thin tassels on the outside. It looked a little too delicate.

"Oh, I almost forgot, Sister Yunxi is still here."

Then Huang Yanyao suddenly jumped away and immediately came to Gu Yunxi, just like a good sister who would never leave her good sister.

"Strange, Sister Yunxi didn't tell me how you two got together."

Huang Yanyao stretched out an index finger and pressed it against Gu Yunxi's lips, as if to lock her words. However, her meaning was very simple, which was to let Lu Mu explain.

Lu Mu smiled and said, "It's a long story."

"We have plenty of time."

Huang Yanyao snapped her fingers, and the study door opened. The female official Feng Ling walked in. She was still in the same spirit as before, a little tired, but she also had a certain official authority.

As her master's status and power grew, her status as a personal maid also rose.

"Long time no see, Master Lu."

Feng Ling bowed to Lu Muyao with a dignified posture.

"Yeah, it's been a long time indeed."

"Bring some tea, we have something to discuss."

Huang Yanyao placed the spiritual plant on the table by the window, and told Feng Ling to bring tea. Then she sat down and fiddled with the princess' crown beside her.

"Where should I start..."

Lu Mu thought about it and decided to start from when he and Gu Yunxi met at the edge of the Central Region.

But there's really not much to say about that journey. We just killed some evil cultivators and uncovered their lairs, which was a pretty fruitful harvest.

When he talked about how the old emperor of the Chuyun Dynasty "resurrected from the dead" was actually just a hoax, Huang Yanyao became very interested. At the end, she picked up a green leaf that fell on the table and said indifferently, "The Central Region is going to be in chaos."

"Something happened elsewhere, too, not just in Izumo and Xianhuang."

Lu Mu raised his eyebrows and waited for her to continue.

"The crown prince of the Sky Eagle Dynasty died seven days ago. It seems that his younger brother sent people to surround and kill him, and his younger brother was also killed by someone else."

"The Emperor of the Sun Flame Dynasty was also assassinated by the Evil Heart Sect four days ago. Although the assassination was unsuccessful, he was injured. It is said that the Sun Flame Emperor is now recovering from his injuries. It seems that the injury is serious."

"As for me..."

Huang Yanyao glanced out the window, her eyes sharp and angry. From here she could hear the sounds of troops being deployed in the military camp outside Tianhuang City.

"There are three deep hidden abysses in southern Xinjiang that have been silent for thousands of years. Last month, they all suddenly erupted, and hundreds of thousands of abyssal beasts rushed into southern Xinjiang, causing countless casualties and heavy losses to the people."

"News has also come from the Izumo Dynasty. Oh no, there is no Izumo Dynasty anymore."

She squeezed her soft hand tightly, and when she released it, the green leaf had turned into dust and slipped from her palm.

It was just like the tragedy of the sudden collapse of the Izumo Dynasty.

Lu Mu was silent.

In the Central Region, bad news always travels fast.

It had not been long since their spirit ship left Wanyun City, but by the time it reached Huang Yanyao, the news of the disappearance of the Chuyun Dynasty had already reached her study.

The national strength of the Izumo Dynasty has been reduced to one tenth of what it was before, and even the Izumo royal family can no longer defend such a vast territory.

What's more, there are not many people left in the Izumo royal family.

In order to keep a corpse from decaying, the flesh and blood of the living were consumed on it, but in the end it was still picked by the magic machine from outside the world. How sad and lamentable.

"If the Great Imperial Dynasty is still like this, what about the other imperial dynasties, or even the royal dynasties, now?"

Huang Yanyao stood up and walked towards the window.

Tianhuang City is actually quite peaceful. It is her base camp. The city has strict laws and regulations, and not many scoundrels are brave enough to come here to cause trouble.

According to some rumors she had heard, which were not quite true, the Evil Heart Sect was said to have put her head on their must-win list.

Ordinary people would be nervous if they were targeted by the Evil Heart Sect.

Huang Yanyao just wanted to see which evil cultivators would come to die and help her improve her record.

It’s a pity that after waiting for so many days, I still didn’t see that kind of idiot.

Lu Mu stood up, walked behind her, put his arm around her slender waist, and put his head close to her. "You are actually very excited, right? Although you must be very tired now, I see that you always want to hide your tiredness, but compared to the upcoming opportunities, you don't want to rest at this time."

"Why do you say that?"

Huang Yanyao turned her head and stared at his handsome profile.

He curled his lips: "Because I know you."

He paused and continued, "The Central Region is about to start a major reshuffle. The fall of the Izumo Dynasty will soon change the current rules. The rule that the dynasty does not get involved in disputes will soon be broken, and you are waiting for it, aren't you?"
