Li Muzhi didn't need to answer, as he suddenly heard the sound of a body rolling down from a high place behind him, and then Watanabe Izumi's screams disappeared completely, and the mountain fell into an eerie silence again.
"Look, there's the hotel below." Uesugi Meiki was surprised as she looked at the road that appeared in front of them. Although it was covered with fallen leaves, the hotel they came from could be seen in the distance. It was obvious that the mysterious barrier that had been restraining them had disappeared, and the mountain had returned to normal again.
"Yeah." Li Muzhi also breathed a sigh of relief. It was just as he thought. The seven strange people who came before the emperor had not targeted him and others from the beginning.
"Mom...Mom." Shangshan Xiaxiang finally dared to speak, her voice was very low: "You said that one of the two girls suffocated due to taking drugs before her death, and the other one accidentally fell down the stairs and died."
"Yeah." Uesugi Meiki nodded meaningfully. Combining the fact that Watanabe Izumi was finally thrown down from a high place by those monsters and died, as well as the way his friends died, she could basically guess the process.
"The two girls' unwillingness brought in the Seven Imperial Guards." Li Muzhi said, "The Seven Imperial Guards used the same method to kill Watanabe Izumi and his companions, so that the two original members could be freed, and Watanabe Izumi would become part of the new Seven Imperial Guards, forever entangled with the next time, until they meet a villain who can replace them."
"It takes weirdos to deal with such a bad guy." Uesugi Mikiko was in a very complicated mood. As the deputy director of the Metropolitan Police Department, she knew that it was extremely difficult to convict a guy like Watanabe Izumi by relying on the law. As a result, these weirdos avenged the two girls they didn't know.
"Let's go, don't think too much." Li Muzhi reached out and patted her shoulder. This mountain was not that high to begin with. It was only because of the weirdness that people couldn't get out. Now that the barrier was opened, they were only a few hundred meters away from the hotel: "We are all here, we should enjoy the weekend."
"Yeah." The beautiful concubine Uesugi was comforted by Li Muzhi. She couldn't help but think of the scene where he was pressed against her chest, and a surge of maternal instinct rose in her heart.
But then he immediately thought of the thing pressing against his abdomen, and his cheeks turned red for no reason.
"Hmph!" Uesugi Xia Xiang rushed out from the side, grabbed his mother's hand, pulled her to the side, and looked at Li Muzhi fiercely.
His eyes seemed to pop out of his head. Now that he was out of danger, Uesugi Xia Xiang also came to his senses. It seemed that this friend was planning to target his mother.
Moreover, her mother was extremely disappointing and acted as if she wanted to give everything away for free, which made her feel like she was being treated NT.
"Then I'll go back first." Li Muzhi was extremely embarrassed by her stare. At this time, they were almost at the hotel, so he took the initiative to greet the two of them and walked quickly towards the hotel.
"Well, I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Li today." The beautiful concubine Uesugi bowed to him apologetically, with a strange look in her eyes.
If it weren't for him, I don't know what terrible things would have happened to me and my daughter.
But there is a generation gap between them after all. It was fine when they were on the mountain just now, but now that she is back in the civilized world, that sense of shame is back. Her feelings towards Li Muzhi are also extremely complicated and hard to explain.
Uesugi Xia Xiang was extremely vigilant.
Li Muzhi could only greet him hurriedly. When he turned and approached the hotel, he suddenly glanced into the woods.
In the night, seven figures stood in a row, wearing monk robes, chanting incomprehensible spells, and gradually walked away.
This time he also gained some knowledge. Among the monsters, there are only the senior sister and Arima Yanobu, who are similar to humans.
There are also people like the Seven Gods who are bound by certain rules and cannot be eliminated in a physical sense, and they act according to their instincts.
I don’t know what strange thing I will encounter next time.
Thinking about these strange things, he came to the mother-and-child suite that his aunt had opened for him in the hotel and knocked on the door a few times with his hands.
"Auntie, I'm back."
"Come in!" Aokawa Qingshui's unique royal sister voice sounded from inside.
"I'm here." Li Muzhi pushed open the door and saw Cangchuan Qingshui squatting in the corner of the room, where he had spread a mat on the floor.
On the tatami floor, a kimono belt was stretched straight and placed in the middle.
"This is the dividing line." Facing his puzzled gaze, Cangchuan Qingshui looked at him seriously: "If you cross this line at night, you are a beast."
"Hey, what are you doing again!"
"Xiao Muzhi is already an adult." Cangchuan Qingshui held her mature red curly hair with her hands, with a somewhat melancholy expression on her face: "In order to prevent you from making mistakes, measures must be taken."
"As long as you are happy." Li Muzhi's mouth twitched. After the incident with seven people in front of the emperor, he was already prepared to face his aunt's secret.
But after what she did, I think I'll just have to wait until next time.
However, Li Muzhi did not have to make the choice between being a beast or worse than a beast that night, because after Cangchuan Qingshui fell asleep, he rolled over in a daze.
He held him in his arms and licked his neck with his tongue like an animal licking its fur.
After pushing her away a few times, she rolled over again after a while, making him unable to sleep well the whole night.
The next day, Li Muzhi, with dark circles under his eyes, was secretly captured by Uesugi Xia Xiang.
"Hey, what do you think of my mother?" Uesugi Xia Xiang spoke straight to the point.
Chapter 189 Becoming Stronger
Uesugi Xia Xiang had an extremely complicated expression as she looked Li Muzhi up and down. She had to admit that in terms of appearance, it was not surprising that her mother was attracted to him.
And the sense of security he gave people when he saved people just now is the most deadly poison to women.
My mother is as ripe as a peach, and is at the age when she is most easily attracted to young men.
I have been single for so many years to take care of myself. If I meet true love, it would be too selfish to stop him/her.
But he boasted about his senior sister, and now he's boasting about his mother. He's trying to take advantage of me.
Thinking of this, the look in his eyes became more resentful.
"Um... Mrs. Uesugi and I." Li Muzhi felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at by her.
It was very awkward for a moment, as the relationship between him and Mrs. Uesugi was indeed unclear.
It definitely can’t be called love. The two of them met through a one-night stand, and the last step was interrupted by her phone call.
Shangshan Xiaxiang saw Li Muzhi's tangled expression and instantly became furious, with a gloomy expression: "You are not planning to abandon him after having sex with him!"
"Don't tarnish someone's innocence out of thin air!" Li Muzhi's face changed. He couldn't wear this hat. The relationship between him and Mrs. Uesugi was at most a pure physical one.
"Then what is your relationship?" Shangshan Xia Xiang is usually naive, but when it comes to matters related to his mother, he still acts very oppressive.
After saying that, he took a few steps forward, raised his head, and looked into Li Muzhi's eyes fiercely. The two of them were almost sticking together.
Li Muzhi would be very embarrassed at this moment. If I said that your mother and I were just a one-night stand, it would be too heavy for this girl.
Just as the atmosphere became increasingly tense, a gentle voice sounded from the side.
"Xia Xiang, what are you talking about with Mu Zhi?"
"Mom?" Uesugi Xia Xiang turned around and saw her mother standing not far away, looking at her with curiosity.
She also realized that she was too close to Li Muzhi, and took a few steps back in panic. Although she was aggressive just now, she instinctively acted a little timid in front of her mother: "Let's talk about some school things."
"Well, do you want to take a bath together?" The beautiful concubine Uesugi tied up her hair, her voice as soft as water.
Uesugi Xia Xiang's face showed some confusion, and it was obvious that she still wanted to question Li Muzhi.
But I didn't want to arouse my mother's suspicion.
Seeing his mother's puzzled look, he gritted his teeth and gave Li Muzhi a look that said "wait for me".
Only then did he turn around reluctantly and hold his mother's kimono sleeve.
"Then we'll go first, Mr. Li." Uesugi Meiko waved at him and reached out to hold her daughter's hand.
The moment she turned her head, she gave him a complex look with a hint of resentment.
Originally, Li Muzhi was relieved because she showed up to help him out.
But looking at the complicated look left by Mrs. Uesugi at the end, it seemed that she had been hiding aside and listening to the conversation between the two.
For the next day, Uesugi Xia Xiang was probably being watched by Mrs. Uesugi and did not find any chance to question him again.
It gave him time to enjoy the hot spring.
Aokawa Kiyomizu quickly became familiar with Mrs. Uesugi and even borrowed a swimsuit from her.
When the two of them were taking a hot spring bath together, things finally returned to normal.
However, given my aunt's figure, the swimsuit's chest was not fully filled, which made Li Muzhi secretly shocked.
Only then did he realize that Mrs. Uesugi just didn't look outstanding.
Just like a ripe peach will weigh down the branches, but the quality is actually there.
The two of them enjoyed the weekend tacitly, like ordinary friends, playing and having fun in the water until late at night.
This hot spring trip was very pleasant. After Aokawa Qingshui sent him home, he collapsed on the sofa like a tired little animal.
"I'll go out for a while." Li Muzhi glanced at his aunt who looked like a salted fish. It was hard to imagine that she was the same person now as she was in the hot spring, dangerous and mysterious.
This encounter made him feel uneasy. These monsters were actually hidden around him, but he rarely saw them because of his low spiritual awareness in the past.
Although the seven imperial guards this time have strange abilities, they are not strong.
As a child of the Nine-Tailed Fox, he will most likely encounter some powerful monsters in the future.
You must go to Seimei Shrine to ask for methods to become stronger.
"Well, if you meet a strange person, remember to stay away from him." Cangchuan Qingshui raised his head lazily and said casually.
"A strange person?" Li Muzhi asked curiously while changing his shoes.
"Yes, the school received a report recently." Cangchuan Qingshui recalled for a while: "Some female students ran away from home."
"Running away from home?" Li Muzhi was stunned for a moment, but his face immediately darkened: "You said she was a female student, so what does that have to do with me?"
Cangchuan Qingshui turned his head away and looked at him with a half-smile: "My nephew, as long as he dresses up, he will be a real beauty."
"Boring." Li Muzhi snorted and turned to close the door.
Seimei Shrine can be reached directly by bus, which is very convenient.
Tsuchimikado Setsuna was still in that lazy look, half asleep and half awake, leaning on the futon.
The sunlight shone on her priest robe, and a few birds were resting beside her, looking harmoniously blending into nature.
"Mom, I want to become stronger." Li Muzhi sat down next to her with a serious expression.
"Oh?" Tsuchimikado Setsuna smiled, sat up, and said seriously, "Then I have to change my hairstyle to that of a strong man."
"Hey, I'm serious." Li Muzhi's face was a little dark. He didn't expect that Shanshan's mother would also play jokes.
"I saw the Nine-Tailed Fox's battle in my memory. Controlling fox fire is only the most basic skill. There is also control of weather and even control of the dead. Even if I am the Nine-Tailed Fox's child, I should be able to do it."
After hearing what he said, Tsuchimikado Setsuna finally sat up straight, his expression becoming a little more serious:
"Weirds are not the same as humans. Weird powers are inherited naturally. As long as you live long enough, your demonic power will naturally become stronger. Of course, different weirds have different levels. Practicing only makes you more proficient in using your power."
"Oh, there is such a good thing?" Li Muzhi's face lit up: "That means I only need to flatten it to become stronger. How long will it take for me to have the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox?"
"Yeah." Tsuchimikado looked Li Mu up and down for a while, as if he had calculated in his mind for a while, and then he said seriously: "About two thousand years."
Li Muzhi's heart sank instantly. With the current rate of development, in two thousand years, humans might have already connected their minds to computers.
"Is there a faster way?"
