Chapter 344: Sleeping in the Astrology Tower; Can Four People Fit?

Li Mo’s brow furrowed, his expression growing serious.

The black shadow that Li Wu mentioned resonated with him.

To be precise, this memory belonged to the previous Bai Xianwu.

Now that Li Wu had merged with Bai Xianwu’s body, she also inherited her memories.

Bai Xianwu was born with an extraordinary fate and indeed died once.

However, she was reborn at the cost of her own soul, becoming a special existence, half human and half corpse.

And all of this stemmed from that mysterious black shadow.

Li Mo had previously speculated.

Bai Xianwu adopted Bai Yi Fei and treated her as a fruit to cultivate.

Could it be that she was also a fruit cultivated by that black shadow?

“What did you dream about?”

Li Mo quickly calmed down, gently stroking Li Wu’s smooth jade back.

As for the sudden spring light, he had no interest in admiring it right now.

“I dreamed of an endless desert, a black desert, with rivers, but they were blood-red rivers.

“There were mountains made of bones and skeletons.”

“It was dark and dreary there, with howling winds.

“That black shadow… I couldn’t see its form.

“I could only hear it calling me, as if it was summoning me.”

Li Wu gripped Li Mo’s hand tightly, her palm icy cold.

You must know that she was previously an assassin and now a general on the battlefield.

What kind of scenes had she not witnessed?

Yet now, Li Mo could clearly feel her terror.

It was as if she was describing not a place, but hell itself.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”

Under Li Mo’s gentle comfort, Li Wu gradually calmed down.

However, within Li Mo’s heart lay a question.

If that black shadow treated the previous Bai Xianwu as fruit, what was the purpose of summoning her now?

The previous Bai Xianwu possessed formidable strength, comparable to the Spirit Realm.

But during the fusion with Li Wu, some of her negative energy dissipated.

Now, Li Wu only had the strength of the Free and Unfettered Realm.

Logically, it wasn’t yet the time for harvesting.

Calmed down, Li Wu lifted her head from Li Mo’s embrace and, seeing his tightly furrowed brow, affectionately reached out to smooth it out.

Softly, she said, “How about I head back to the front lines?”

At their level, it wasn’t common for them to dream easily.

Moreover, this dream appeared without warning and was extremely strange.

Li Wu was worried that it would bring unnecessary trouble to the Mountain Courtyard.

After all, aside from her, Fei Yan, and Jing Ni, the strength of the others here was quite limited.

Moreover, there was also the just-born Xiao Yan’er.

That was the precious little treasure of the family.

If anything happened to her, no amount of death would absolve her responsibility.

How could Li Mo not understand her concerns?

He refused, “No, it’s safer for you to stay by my side.”

Li Wu now was no longer the Bai Xianwu of the past.

In other words, she had already plucked the fruit of that black shadow.

Thinking of this, Li Mo suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

The doubts he couldn’t figure out just moments ago became clear all at once.

If he hadn’t appeared, Bai Xianwu could absorb a large amount of blood on the battlefield to increase her strength.

By calculating the time, she might indeed be able to break through to the Spirit Realm and reach a higher level.

And that black shadow didn’t know what was happening here.

It had also anticipated the maturation timing of Bai Xianwu’s fruit.

Therefore, it summoned her back at this time.

If Li Wu returned, or if that black shadow found Li Wu, it would realize that she was no longer the Bai Xianwu of the past.

Then, this instigator would certainly become its enemy.

In this case, whether Li Wu stayed in Qin State or returned to face that unknown fear alone, the result would be the same.

Besides, how could Li Mo leave her alone?

He might be somewhat sentimental.

But he was definitely not foolish or unfeeling.

“Do you know where that place is?”

Li Mo sat up straight, his expression serious.

Li Wu struggled to recall the dream from just now.

After a long time, she shook her head and said, “I only dreamed of the place, but I didn’t dream of the way there.”

Then she asked, “Did you want to…”

Seeing her guess his thoughts, Li Mo no longer hid it.

“I never liked threats lurking in the dark. Rather, I prefer to face threats directly.”

Just like the Luo Network back then, and like Bai Xianwu back then.

If there’s a threat, find it and eliminate it.

“How about this? During this time, you stay with me in Xi’an City and see if you dream about these again.”

Seeking flowers…

According to Li Mo’s speculation, that black shadow’s strength was not beneath the Spirit Realm.

It might even have surpassed that realm.

Although he wouldn’t leave Li Wu behind, he couldn’t have the entire Mountain Courtyard accompany him.

It could be said that wherever he and Li Wu were, there was danger.

Li Wu certainly wouldn’t disagree with Li Mo’s proposal.

Thus, the next day, the two moved into Xi’an City.

As for where to stay, it was naturally the Moon Goddess’s Astrology Tower.

Only pity the Moon Goddess’s small bed, which now had to accommodate four people!

The Moon Goddess was no longer competing with Fei Yan; her temperament was more stable than ever, and her strength was also improving day by day, as she began to seek the path to the Spirit Realm.

Moreover, there were heavy troops stationed in Xi’an City.

…

Over a hundred thousand well-equipped elite Qin soldiers.

As long as you weren’t a deity descending to earth, no one would leave once they came.

After spending a few days of colorful life at the Moon Goddess’s place.

One day, Li Mo and a few women enjoyed the cool night breeze on the Astrology Platform.

As the Holy Maiden of the Wolf Tribe, Hu Ji obediently made tea for everyone nearby.

Her obedient demeanor didn’t seem fake.

Whether it was an act or not didn’t matter to Li Mo.

Because he didn’t intend to trust this woman at all.

As long as the Xiongnu and the Wolf Tribe existed, this woman’s mind would never be at ease.

Only after the Xiongnu were completely exterminated and she had lost all hope of returning would she finally come to let go.

However, whether she could let go or not, Li Mo didn’t care.

After all, everything had been measured multiple times.

Anything that needed to be unlocked had been unlocked.

Obtaining people was enough; what did he need her heart for?

The Moon Goddess picked up the hot tea that Hu Ji had just poured, and the steaming tea emanated wisps of warmth.

It enveloped her, adding an air of mystery to the elegantly poised fairy.

The Moon Goddess slightly parted her cherry-like lips, blew lightly, and was just about to taste the tea when Li Mo suddenly spoke, “Da Shiming

has come to see you.”

As soon as the words fell, the Moon Goddess hadn’t even had time to wonder when she heard Da Shiming’s respectful voice from downstairs.

“Da Shiming requests an audience with the National Advisor.”

The three of them looked towards Li Mo simultaneously.

Li Mo awkwardly pressed his lips together.

He had guessed wrong; they were actually looking for him!
