I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 423: The dust has settled, and a sufficiently generous dowry.

Li Mu thought it would be a battle in which all cards would be revealed, but he did not expect that the opponent would have almost no room to fight back.

Li Mu could even manipulate Grandmother Bai in the palm of his hand with just the thread of his true Qi.

This made Li Mu question the realm of heaven and man.

Although Grandmother Bai belongs to the Southern Region's system and her strength is only equivalent to the Heavenly Man Realm, the gap should not be this big.

"Could it be because the opponent's main weapon is poison, which I just happened to be able to counter?"

As I was thinking about it, a delicate little foot as cold as jade fell into my hands.

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw that Ge Peining had leaned against the bed without him noticing.

With a smile on her lips and a faint blush on her cheeks, she was staring at him with seductive eyes.

The delicate and plump toes teased Li Mu's palm from time to time.

"Shouldn't my husband explain Sister Bai's situation?"

There was a hint of anger in Ge Peining's tone, and then she bent her knees slightly and pulled her foot away from Li Mu's hand.

"My husband, you know that Sister Bai is different from Sister Ping'er. She has a little daughter. How do you plan to settle her down?"

"Ok?"

A hint of doubt flashed across Li Mu's eyes, and after a moment, he suddenly realized it. He put his hand under Ge Peining's skirt and smiled slyly,

"My daughter, my daughter is fine."

"Husband!" Ge Peining glared at Li Mu, raised her foot to press against Li Mu's shoulder, stopping him from moving forward, and said angrily,

"Sister Bai's daughter is only four years old. Even if my husband does, even if... he still has to wait for ten years..."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Li Mu turned his head and pecked Ge Peining's instep gently, sighing,

"Sister Ning'er, you will spoil me like this. You should call me a scumbag."

Hearing this, Ge Peining rolled her eyes at Li Mu, tapped her forehead with her toes, glared at her, and said in a leisurely tone,

"Husband, you should think about how to explain it to the other sisters when you go back."

Seeing that Ge Peining was clearly resentful but was still thinking about her, Li Mu stopped teasing her and quickly told Ge Peining about his previous encounter with Bai Luozhi and her daughter.

It also emphasizes how he faced temptation with unshakable determination and how he remained chaste despite all the means used by the other party.

"How could this happen?"

After hearing what happened, Ge Peining frowned her beautiful brows, looked up and down at Li Mu with her bright eyes, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

The reason why she was so sure before was not only because Bai Luozhi was wrapped in Li Mu's outer robe, but also because of the look in her eyes when she looked at Li Mu.

Originally, she was worried that something might happen to the two of them, but now, after hearing what Li Mu said, she started to worry about Bai Luozhi.

Ge Peining knew Li Mu's character very well. Li Mu didn't go with the flow, which meant he really had no bad intentions.

With Li Mu's boldness, if he wanted, even the queen would not be able to escape from his grasp.

Just as Ge Peining was thinking about whether to remind Li Mu, Li Mu quickly pecked her lips and then lay in her arms naturally.

Ge Peining didn't understand what he meant and thought that Li Mu was going to let her serve him in his practice.

Just as her slender jade fingers touched the belt, she heard footsteps coming from outside the house.

"Sister An Ning, how is little brother?"

The ones who pushed the door open were the Bai Luofu sisters.

"Little An Ning, the carriage is ready. I just received a message from my mother that my mother has gone into seclusion. You should leave now."

While speaking, Bai Luozhi's gaze always stayed on Li Mu.

For a moment, she even had the urge to leave with Li Mu.

If Li Mu had not been such a 'gentleman' before, or if he had not had such miraculous means, would she have had a reason...

"Sister Bai, the buds are both a medicine and a poison. Excessive use may cause side effects. The senior had previously..."

At this time, Ge Peining suddenly spoke.

Bai Luozhi came back to his senses, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and thinking of Ge Peining saying the same thing before, he hurriedly asked,

"Xiao Aning, what kind of poison is that twin bud? Will it change a person's personality drastically?"

Bai Luozhi's tone was a little excited. If it was really because of the twins, she might be able to forgive everything Grandma Bai did. After all, those were not her original intention.

However, Ge Peining shook his head and said:

"It's not like my temperament has changed drastically..."

Ge Peining did not adulterate the information. She explained the medicinal properties of the Twins one by one to Ge Lao and stated that these were the conclusions drawn from the toxins remaining in the branches of the Twins.

The poison of the twin petals is a thousand times more powerful.

"Yes...yes, I understand."

After hearing this, Bai Luozhi's body couldn't help but tremble, and the last bit of hope disappeared.

Perhaps there were some factors behind Grandma Bai's sudden transformation.

But she knew clearly that this was all due to Grandmother Bai's desire for life and her obsession with holding sole power in the Bai family.

She could understand Grandma Bai's approach, but she would not accept it!

What can magnify desires is not only the twin flowers, but also the human heart that can never be satisfied.

Even without the twins, Grandmother Bai would have become like this sooner or later.

"Sister Bai, you don't have to do this. Senior may not like people outside the Southern Region, so he attacked us under the influence of the Twins. Fortunately, my husband only suffered minor injuries, and he will be fine after resting for a while."

Ge Peining reminded him again, not knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional.

Hearing this, Bai Luozhi seemed to be awakened by a word and murmured to himself:

"Don't you like it?"

Bai Luozhi was already in a bad mood, so he just said a few more words casually and then hurriedly sent Li Mu and the other two out of the city.

On the other side, in the territory of the Medical Witch Clan.

Bai A Niang is not as sentimental as Bai Luozhi.

By using Grandmother Bai's name, he easily gathered those who secretly relied on Grandmother Bai.

What she didn't expect was that in addition to the eighth elder, there were two other elders who were also involved.

Bai A Niang did not show any mercy. With the strength of a half-step celestial being, unless the twelve elders joined forces, she would now be the number one in the Yiwu clan.

Although the Yiwu clan lost three elders at once, their strength was certainly greatly damaged.

But no matter what, she didn't want to be controlled by others anymore, and she didn't want to be bullied like that a second time.

Looking at the bodies of the two elders in front of her, Grandma Bai couldn't help but touch her lips, and then bounced back as if she had been electrocuted.

"So, is that bullying?"

"Auntie!"

At this time, Bai Luozhi's voice came from outside the house.

"Is everything done?" Bai A Niang asked.

"Amei and the others have already left the city." Bai Luozhi nodded slightly, glanced at the corpses on the ground and said,

"It's just that after my sister knew about those things, she felt a little..."

"It's time for her to grow up! There's no need to hide these things from her." Bai A Niang said coldly.

She did not let Bai Luozhi hide the matter, but told Bai Luofu everything, even including the incident of saving the two of them in the thatched hut.

As for the degree of detail, it all depends on Bai Luozhi's own preference.

"Mother... there is one more thing."

"explain."

"Miao's elder sister from the Manwu clan is in the clan hall now. She said that the Eighth Elder killed Miao Zhu and asked us to hand him over."

Bai Luozhi frowned slightly. She knew that Miao Zhu was dead, and she just thought it was Li Mu who did it.

Bai A Niang smiled and pointed to the house next door and said:

"Just give her the body. As for what happened between the two of them, it has nothing to do with my Witch Doctor Clan."

Bai Luozhi was stunned, and instantly understood what Bai A Niang meant. This was to confirm the fact that the Eighth Elder and Miao Zhu were having an affair.

As for why both of them died, you can check it out yourself.

Bai Luozhi was about to leave when she heard Bai A Niang's voice again.

"Zhizhi, go to the Yuwu clan and ask Chief Han to come over, and tell him that there is something important to discuss."

"Mother?" Bai Luozhi turned around and looked at Bai Mother with confusion in his eyes.

Soon, Bai A Niang's smile deepened, and she stroked her lower lip with her green jade fingers and said,

"This is the first time that my Wu family's daughter is marrying off, so we should prepare a generous dowry."

"Zhizhi, what do you think of the entire Southern Region?"
