Chapter 236 Slapping the Face of the Heartless Cultivator 14
After Mu returned, he learned that the person who often spent time with Huangfu Ming was named Leng Yuexing, who suddenly appeared next to Huangfu Ming one day.
He Mu had been waiting for a chance to see Leng Yuexing again, but Huangfu Ming was almost always by Leng Yuexing's side, so he had no chance to get close to her.
He also heard that Huangfu Ming had been searching for the cultivator who had dug up the white fox's golden core all these years, but no matter how hard he searched, he had found nothing.
Knowing that Huangfu Ming was sending people to find him, He Mu couldn't help but touch the human skin mask on his face.
It was a mask made of special materials, which adhered tightly to his face and looked perfectly natural, without any suspicious traces.
Furthermore, this mask can conceal heavenly secrets; unless the mask is damaged, no one can discover him.
He originally planned to leave the Imperial Observatory after passing through the pass, but now he plans to stay for a while longer before leaving.
A week later, he finally got the chance to see Leng Yuexing again.
On this day, Leng Yuexing came to the astrological platform alone. Huangfu Ming said that the puppet needed to be remodeled in one place, so it was sent to the physician again. For the next two or three days, the puppet was not by his side.
After regaining his Golden Core, he would come to the astrological platform every now and then to calculate the location of the outsider, but he got no results.
The result of this calculation remains the same as before; it is still impossible to calculate.
Leng Yuexing secretly speculated that the other party must have used some kind of magical artifact that could conceal the secrets of heaven. In that case, she could only find another opportunity to make a divination.
After the calculations were finished, Leng Yuexing prepared to leave the astrological platform, but then she saw the servant she had met earlier in the back mountain walking up with a broom.
"Lord Leng!" He Mu said respectfully.
Leng Yuexing nodded in response and tried to walk around him to go downstairs, but He Mu blocked her way.
Leng Yuexing looked back, puzzled. "What is it?"
"This servant has a question that I do not understand, and I would like to ask you to enlighten me." He Mu asked, bowing his head and pretending to be respectful.
Leng Yuexing couldn't see his expression, so she didn't know that there was no respect in Mu's eyes at this moment.
Leng Yuexing turned around and looked at the sky outside. It was still early, and there was no rush to go back. So he lowered his eyes and replied, "What is it?"
He Mu slowly raised his head, staring at Leng Yuexing with a look of confusion in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "If one person's heart always races after seeing another, what could be the reason?"
Are there any other symptoms?
Mu stepped forward and said, "I miss him when I can't see him, but when I do see him, I want to be with him for a long time."
“This must be what it feels like to like someone.” Leng Yuexing looked at him questioningly. “You don’t even know this?”
He Mu burst into laughter upon hearing this, "Like? If he doesn't belong to me, but I want to keep him by my side forever, is that also liking?"
Upon hearing this, Leng Yuexing's gaze suddenly turned cold. "Then it naturally doesn't count as liking."
"That's it! That's why I don't like him!" Mu stopped laughing. When he saw Leng Yuexing again, he confirmed his feelings for him: to possess him.
Even if I felt a little sorry for him, it couldn't compare to his desire to possess me.
After thinking for a moment, He Mu suddenly looked at Leng Yuexing with a deep gaze and said, word by word, "Thank you for your explanation, my lord. I understand now."
Leng Yuexing gave him a complicated look, nodded slightly, and prepared to leave the astrology platform. But as she passed by him, she inadvertently noticed a pendant he was wearing.
Blue gourd shape!
It's him!
The cultivator who dug out his inner core, broke his limbs and meridians, and crushed his bones.
Leng Yuexing's face suddenly turned cold, and his killing intent erupted instantly. He raised his hand and attacked He Mu!
He Mu raised his hand to defend himself, "Why did you suddenly attack me, sir?"
"He Mu! Today is your death day!" Leng Yuexing said coldly.
The outsider in this world did not absorb much of the Heavenly Child's fortune, so even if he killed He Mu now, it wouldn't have much of an impact. Naturally, Leng Yuexing wanted to avenge the Heavenly Child.
Leng Yuexing fought with increasing ferocity, and his battle with He Mu caused a fierce wind to rise on the astrological platform, putting it in grave danger.
The fight at the astrological observatory was discovered by the Imperial Astronomical Bureau attendants, who quickly reported it to His Majesty.
When Huangfu Ming heard the report from his attendant, he was still discussing military preparations with his ministers. Upon hearing that something had happened at the astrological observatory, he immediately channeled his spiritual power and flew towards the observatory.
He was extremely anxious. Even though Leng Yuexing was wearing the Seven Star Chain he had given her, he was still afraid that she would get hurt.
When Huangfu Ming arrived, Leng Yuexing was suppressing He Mu in a fight.
He Mu was originally at the Qi Refining stage. After absorbing Leng Yuexing's golden core, he barely reached the late Foundation Establishment stage. He was no match for Leng Yuexing at all.
He tried to escape, but Huangfu Ming caught up with him the moment he turned around.
"He's the one who hurt me!" Leng Yuexing shouted.
Upon hearing this, Huangfu Ming's eyes instantly turned icy cold, and the chilling killing intent seemed to freeze the surrounding air.
As he ruthlessly attacked He Mu, he said coldly, "So you were hiding in the palace. No wonder I couldn't find you anywhere! You've got some nerve!"
While struggling to resist, He Mu stubbornly replied, "I dare to hide in the palace because I have my own backing. You think you can kill me so easily!"
Huangfu Ming's spiritual energy brushed across He Mu's forehead, causing the human skin mask to crack open and revealing He Mu's true face.
Mu simply reached out and tore off his mask, completely exposing his face to the two of them.
It was a deathly pale face, devoid of any color.
While humans can enhance their spiritual power and break through realms by absorbing the golden cores of demonic beasts, it is not without its price.
The price is that the human body mutates, gradually transforming into a demon beast. After absorbing enough demon beast spiritual power, the human body will eventually be lost, and the human will become a demon beast completely.
At this moment, He Mu's appearance is the price he paid for absorbing Leng Yuexing's inner core.
He Mu, however, didn't care. As long as he could become stronger, he wouldn't care about such a price.
Upon seeing He Mu's appearance, Huangfu Ming became even more ruthless, and He Mu was soon beaten until he vomited blood.
He knelt on the ground, vomiting blood incessantly, until he vomited another large mouthful of blood. He staggered to his feet and gave Leng Yuexing a sinister smile.
"Leng Yuexing, how's the gift I gave you? Do you like it?"
He Mu's blood-stained, sinister speech made Leng Yuexing frown uncomfortably; he didn't understand what He Mu wanted to say.
"The pain of digging out the inner core, severing the meridians, and crushing the bones! So, how about it? Do you like my gift?"
He Mu smiled sinisterly, "I said in the last life that I wouldn't let you have an easy time in the next life. In this life, I've finally seized the initiative, haven't I?"
Leng Yuexing said coldly, "An outsider? You've regained your memories?"
