Hide in the Banished Palace and Level Up To A Big Boss

Chapter 151: Prepared

“No… nothing,” Liu Xiu said hurriedly. Her voice was hoarse.

Her blushing face became even redder with embarrassment.

Click!

The door opened.

Xu Fang stared at Liu Xiu with wide eyes.

Liu Xiu, who was usually very lively, had a strange expression on her face.

“What’s wrong with you?”

“I’m okay…”

“Are you sick? Why is your face so red?”

“I’m not sick!”

“What’s the matter? You’re not usually like this,” Xu Fang continued to press her.

“Ah, just ignore me.” Liu Xiu stomped her feet angrily.

On the third floor, Li Mu studied the roll of animal skin parchment he was holding.

He had spent half a day in the study writing his calligraphy.

“Sigh! Why do I feel like something’s not right these days?”

He sent his divine consciousness out and made two rounds in the surrounding villages.

In particular, he observed the refugees who had recently entered the village.

Two years ago, he had discovered that there were many strangers in these villages.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that some of them were orcs in disguise. Some of them even had a strong aura of demon qi on them.

In the next two years, he had found many orcs disguised as wild animals in the surrounding mountains and forests.

“What’s going on?”

After some time, Li Mu finally realized one of the reasons why he couldn’t feel at ease.

After checking in for so many years, the reward still never changed.

He had never encountered a scenario like this before.

“I must be prepared, for better or for worse.”

Li Mu disappeared.

A few days later…

At the bottom-most basement of his house, Li Mu took out some green alum from the system space.

Alum was a very important medicinal material in traditional Chinese medicine.

One could extract strong sulfuric acid from this.

“I’ve mastered so many skills, but in the end, I still rely so much on these foreign objects.”

Fortunately, he knew how to extract oil. Otherwise how could he have wiped out the Bat Clan so easily?

Who knew how long he would have to fight if he just relied on his swordsmanship alone?

Li Mu successfully extracted sulfuric acid from the alum, then poured the solution a special tank.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in!”

Li Mu used his divine consciousness to scan the environment and suddenly shuddered.

After the door opened, Li Mu’s hair stood up on its ends.

Liu Xiu was wearing a skimpy outfit that exposed her fair and tender skin.

She held a stack of papers in her trembling hands. Her cheeks were still flushed red.

Seeing Li Mu, she instantly looked at the ground.

“You, you are…”

He felt that Liu Xiu had been acting rather strange these last few days.

Was she possessed?

Phew!

After a long time, Liu Xiu let out a sigh of relief and courageously walked up to Li Mu.

“Husband, are you looking for me?”

“No! Why are you acting so weird today?”

Liu Xiu plucked up the courage and asked, “Can you sleep with me tonight?”

“I…”

Li Mu was confused.

What was she trying to do?

Li Mu spent the next few minutes trying to persuade her otherwise, but Liu Xiu still refused to listen.

Just as he was about to chase Liu Xiu out, she started crying.

Only after he coaxed her for a long time did she start to calm down.

“Hey, kid. Have you been taking some kind of drugs or medication? Girls your age are not supposed to like men so much.” Li Mu scratched his head in confusion.

“Are you that impatient?” he asked.

She was not discreet at all.

This interruption had halted his plans, so he decided to leave the house and continue with his work.

Li Mu went to an oil field where to refine oil.

Li Mu had done this many times and was familiar with the process.

Ten days later, Li Mu returned to the house.

This time, he brought back a lot of magnesium ore with him.

On the second floor, Xu Fang looked at Liu Xiu curiously.

“Liu Xiu, what secrets are you hiding in that box?”

“It’s nothing!”

“You’re being suspicious. Every time I come up here to look for you, you always hide whatever that is in the box,” Xu Fang said.

“It’s really nothing.”

“The more you deny it, the more I’m convinced that you’re hiding something from me.”

“It’s really… really nothing…”

“Xiaoyue, come over and help see what Liu Xiu is hiding,” Xu Fang shouted.

“No!” Liu Xiu said hoarsely, her face flushing even more.

Soon, the other held Liu Xiu down on the bed while Xu Fang searched for the box.

In the basement, Li Mu assumed the girls were playing together. He was busy concentrating on his own refinement.

Half a day passed and Li Mu was finally going to take a rest. As he headed up the stairs, he realized that the house was unusually quiet.

“Xiu, why do you have something like this?”

“This is too…”

“I’ve already said that I can’t show it to you. But you still insist on seeing it.”

Liu Xiu’s face turned redder.

The other girls’ faces also turned red.

“What the hell is this for?”

“I was told that after doing this, my husband will love me more,” Liu Xiu whispered.

“Oh!” The other girls suddenly realized what she meant.

They opened the booklet and studied it carefully.

“Hey! You don’t usually study training exercises so seriously…”

“I take my husband seriously. Training is not important!”

Xu Fang shook her head. She stared at the pictures.

The second floor quickly became quiet.

Except for the girls’ gasps, there were no other noises.

The next day…

The girls knocked on Li Mu’s door.

Ooh la la!

The girls squeezed into the room.

“Oh my!”

Li Mu took one look at what the girls were wearing and quickly escaped by flying out the window.

On the top of the mountain, the cold wind blew out the flames in Li Mu’s heart.

“This is killing me!”

He thought about how hot he had felt and how inappropriate images had flooded his mind.

“I’m such a beast!”

Li Mu gently slapped himself.

After calming down, Li Mu let the mountain breeze cool him for a while.

“No, I have to find a way. I can’t let these young girls seduce me like this.”

If they learned how to seduce people such at a young age, wouldn’t it be worse when they grew up?

Li Mu stayed there for three days.

Unexpectedly, he caught sight of two Virtual Realm masters.

“I almost didn’t see you.”

The two Virtual Realm masters possessed treasures that could conceal themselves from being spotted by divine consciousness.

These two masters must be from a very powerful background if they possessed something like that.

If he hadn’t come to the mountains to calm down, he wouldn’t have gotten close to them and be able to sense their presence.

“One of them is from the Fox Clan. They are the wisest race among the hundreds of clans. The other one… it’s a bat that has slipped through my net.”

Did the Bat Clan still have powerful masters that he didn’t know about?

Why had both clans sent a Virtual Realm master to this place? And why were the orcs in the village?

“There must be a secret that I don’t know.”

After staying in the mountains for another two days, Li Mu returned to his room.

“No matter what, I can’t stay here anymore. I have to find a new hiding place.”

He didn’t care. The safety of the girls’ couldn’t be ignored.

“The villagers in the surrounding villages should also be relocated.”

It was too dangerous for the villagers if they were surrounded by orcs.

Two years later, Li Mu felt the mountain under his feet start to move.

He opened his eyes.

But he found that there was nothing happening.

He used his divine consciousness to search.

But still, he couldn’t find anything.

“Is it coming?”

In these two years, Li Mu had made all kinds of preparations.

What was it in this mountain that the orcs were looking forward to so much?

No matter what it was, they couldn’t be allowed to succeed.

Fortunately, two years ago, he had sent the girls and their relatives to a big city thousands of miles away.

They were having a lot of fun there.

But since then, nothing seemed to happen in the mountains.

Just when Li Mu thought he was hallucinating…

The earth shook again.

Soon, many orcs surrounded the mountain.
