Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

Huang Yanyao smiled. There was no sign of embarrassment on her face, but there was still a lot of panic. When the atmosphere was about to burn the two of them out, such emotions naturally did not exist.

However, Lu Mu felt that what happened just now was a bit sudden, and she might think so too.

So, maybe she was just stunned for a moment, and when she reacted...

As expected, the next second Huang Yanyao could no longer suppress her panic. She stood up, leaving Lu Mu with only a slightly confused profile, and then hurriedly left the stone pavilion, her footsteps fading away quickly.

Lu Mu took a deep breath and sat alone in the stone pavilion until he vaguely heard some conversation coming from the entrance of the flower garden.

"Hello, Your Highness... Hey, what are you eating?"

"Ah, this, this is just syrup. There are distinguished guests in the flower garden. I was just discussing some important matters with them."

"I've never seen syrup of this color. Let me wipe it off for you. There's some on the corner of your mouth, and there's also some on your hands..."

"No need! Go do your thing, I want to..."

He slowly raised the corner of his mouth, and then a young maid walked in. Then he found that she seemed to be an acquaintance.

However, what Lu Mu was familiar with was not her appearance.

But the dance posture.

When it is dancing and whirling, it is like the shadow of a snake coiling around the sand, as agile as the floating catkins, and as graceful as a butterfly dancing among flowers.

Those eyes remained the same, with the characteristics of vertical pupils, and a snake-like beauty in their glance.

"Miss Yu Qinghong?"

Lu Mu called out her name.

She was startled, but when she looked at Lu Mu, she seemed to remember a certain face in her memory and said hesitantly: "You are... Gu Qingyang?"

When Lu Mu heard Yu Qinghong read out this name, he felt a little nostalgic.

After all, this was the name he created, and it should have been famous all over the world, but "Gu Qingyang" became "Gu Yunxi", and now the name that should be famous all over the world should be the one with a slightly feminine tone.

"It's me, but Gu Qingyang was just a pseudonym I used when I worked with His Highness the Ninth Prince. My real name is Lu Mu."

Lu Mu was not surprised that Yu Qinghong still remembered him.

At the beginning, in order to escape the fate of being forced into marriage, the clan leader's daughter personally went to Huang Yanyao and asked her for help.

However, Huang Yanyao rejected her coldly at first.

But that was just a little bit of the bad taste of Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess's "ambition for hegemony" mentality.

Yu Qinghong has now arrived in Tianhuang City.

She became an ordinary maid in this huge palace.

The daughter of a clan leader was still unwilling to hide in the desert, but once she came out, it seemed that she could only be a maid here.

However, Huang Yanyao definitely gave her preferential treatment.

One can tell at a glance that this flower garden was taken care of by Yu Qinghong herself.

Chapter 67: The fate of the little people

Lu Mu remembered that when he was in Quetzalcoatl City, he had also seen such a flower garden, which was quite in the style of Yu Qinghong. The only difference was that the flower garden in Quetzalcoatl City was dilapidated and lifeless, while here, hundreds of flowers were in full bloom, full of vitality.

It seems that after she left Quetzalcoatl City, even if she could only be a maid here, it would be much better than her previous life as a caged bird.

After all, the dancing at the pre-wedding banquet made Lu Mu see through Yu Qinghong's despair.

"Your last name is Lu. It seems that your being the personal bodyguard of His Highness does not seem to be in line with your status."

Yu Qinghong looked at Lu Mu, who was sitting in the shadow of the stone pavilion. Although the weather seemed to be changing, there was no sunlight outside and the sky was cloudy, so his figure seemed to be covered with dust.

"My identity doesn't affect what I do. Isn't it the same for you?"

Lu Mu rubbed his fingers together and snapped his fingers, looking at Yu Qinghong who was standing next to the pillar of the stone pavilion. Just a glance at each other revealed a hint of contentment in her vertical snake eyes.

"That's right."

"It seems like you're having a good time here."

Lu Mu watched Yu Qinghong clean up the remnants in the stone pavilion and then go to take care of the flowers. He smiled faintly and spoke, his voice still gentle.

"Your Highness is very kind to me."

Yu Qinghong turned around and nodded slightly at him.

"No matter how good she is to you, isn't she just making you a maid in this palace?"

"Your Highness will not treat me as a commodity to be sold at will for profit."

Yu Qinghong gently cut off some unnecessary branches, and then washed them in the basin beside her. She thought that she would also use these branches and leaves that destroyed the overall beauty of the flower garden for other purposes.

"I still remember Chief Yushan."

"From what I've seen, he loves you very much."

When Lu Mu mentioned Yu Shan's name, he could clearly see that Yu Qinghong's back paused for a moment.

"It's true that my father loves me, but it's a pity that he can't just love me."

Yu Qinghong's tone was calm, yet seemed a little sad.

Upon hearing this, Lu Mu raised his eyebrows without comment, but it was obvious that this topic could not be continued. This might be the worry that Yu Qinghong could not let go of.

The Quetzalcoatl tribe is not that strong, and she does not have such a powerful talent.

Therefore, there will always come a time when Yushan has to make a choice between her daughter and the entire Quetzalcoatl tribe.

Although Lu Mu's evaluation of Yushan may not be positive, he can admit one thing, that is, Yushan is a qualified clan leader.

Apart from those who are extremely cold-blooded and rational, and pure lunatics and paranoids, there are very few normal people who are willing to push their own children into the fire pit.

Yushan is a normal person.

"Besides, I am already very grateful that Your Highness is willing to do that for me. I am also willing to be a maid."

Yu Qinghong wrapped the washed extra branches with brocade cloth and then looked at Lu Mu.

"I know that the Quetzalcoatl tribe is no longer of much use to her. A half-demon tribe born in the desert, how can they learn other skills besides dealing with ore?"

"Even if you can learn it, it's just a partial understanding, and it's not very useful."

These words made Lu Mu's eyes brighten a little.

He sat in the shadows, his robes all black, only his eyes flashed with "interest".

"I thought you couldn't see that."

Yu Qinghong paused for a moment, then slowly said: "Although I am sitting in a well and looking at the world, I am not that stupid."

Although the truth was so cruel, her open-minded attitude changed Lu Mu's mind greatly. After all, Yu Qinghong, who had left an impression in his mind, was just a desperate lady who came to ask for help from a wedding guest and persuaded her father to cancel the marriage.

But she could say that the Quetzalcoatl tribe could only play a minor role in mining in Huang Yanyao's plan to dominate the Central Plains...

Being in the trap, she desperately sought help, but after getting out of it, she could see things more clearly.

But some people will never see clearly, even if they stay out of it.

"Perhaps I should thank you. If you hadn't given His Highness advice that day, I would have been sent to the Moon Silver Tribe."

Lu Mu curled his lips, "No need to thank me, if you want to thank her, it's best to thank her in person."

After saying this, he looked up at the sky and suddenly asked, "Speaking of this, I left the Central Region later. I heard that everyone in the Wuyan Desert is now loyal to His Majesty the Ninth Prince. I wonder how the Yueyin tribe is doing now?"

"There is no Moonsilver Tribe anymore."

"However, the mistress of the Moon Silver Tribe seems to be still alive. I heard that her cultivation was abolished, her dantian was removed, and she is being raped day and night in a brothel somewhere in the desert..."

Yu Qinghong tilted her head, seeming to be thinking about it seriously.

Lu Mu nodded.

If he remembered correctly, the mistress of the Moonsilver tribe was a beautiful woman with a charming and mature demeanor.

But forget it.

It's a pity that I naturally don't feel sorry about it.

There is really no need to feel sorry for Huang Yanyao's enemies. If she wants to show mercy, she will do so naturally. She does not show mercy to those who do not need him to "pity" her.

"Have you ever thought that one day you would be able to stand on a high place and overlook the world?"

he asks.

Yu Qinghong was stunned. After a long while, she shook her head and said, "I don't have that qualification."

Lu Mu sighed, "There are always many people in this world who want to have the qualifications, but how many people actually have them?"

"If you don't try, how do you know it's impossible?"

"Hehe..." Yu Qinghong laughed softly twice, "You are an extraordinary person with outstanding talent, why do you need to comfort me? I don't ask for too much, this is enough."

"Besides, I may not have the chance to see you again in the future."

"The fate of a small person like me is not worthy of your worrying about."

As she said this, she glanced down at Lu Mu's robe, and the smile on her lips slowly grew bigger.

Yu Qinghong turned and left, and Lu Mu lowered his head to look at the place she had just looked at.

There was a wet mark there.

Oh, I need to change my clothes.

When he looked up again, Yu Qinghong had already left. Only her voice could be heard faintly, "Your Highness, what you just ate wasn't syrup, right?"

Of course, she didn't wait for Lu Mu to answer.

Because it was clear at a glance what Huang Yanyao was doing just now, Yu Qinghong's mind was as clear as a mirror.

That's all for this.

Lu Mu had nothing to say except a bitter smile.

But he can also change clothes here.

No one will see it anyway.

……

Huang Yanyao was sitting in the study, but she had no intention of dealing with any government affairs. The scene that kept replaying in her mind made her feel embarrassed.

There seemed to be some lingering effects in her body, which kept coming to her mind and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

I put my hands over my chest and felt hot and uneasy all over!

What on earth did I just do?!

Chapter 68: The Demon Tribe's Robbery

I should say, it feels good.

But it only felt good at the beginning. After the dizziness and excitement that rushed to my head disappeared, the only thing left was panic.

They were in the stone pavilion. The flower garden was not big and could not block the view. Someone else might see them at any time, whether it was a maid or a guard. In fact, Yu Qinghong almost caught them in the act.

However, she didn't catch him first, but she did catch herself tasting Lu Mu's syrup. But she was very sure that Yu Qinghong definitely didn't understand what shameful thing she was doing.

Actually, it’s quite exciting.

She had never done anything like this before, and the excitement of the moment almost took away all her rationality.

It was the same last night and just now.

If Lu Mu really couldn't control himself, Huang Yanyao felt that she would inevitably fall into it, and she couldn't and didn't want to break free.

But he was able to control himself and knew what was more important to her.

Just like Huang Wumeng often said, once you have achieved your ambition, it will never be too late to enjoy yourself.

Thinking of this, Huang Yanyao couldn't help but laugh out loud again.

How stupid.
