"Hello, Snow Empress. We haven't met, but you should have heard about me from Bingbing."
"I have. You female hooligan-you've been pestering her for ages," Snow Empress said, her brows furrowing slightly. She and Ice Empress were the closest of friends.
Yet this female hooligan had kept looking for Ice Empress last time, hoping to become her wife.
Although they were both the type to like girls, Snow Empress still found this somewhat hard to accept.
After all, the other woman's intentions were far from pure.
As the saying went, three women made a whole drama, so even with just the two of them and Huo Yutong, the atmosphere began to turn rather strange.
But that strange atmosphere did not last long. After all, this was the Silver Dragon Space.
As Li Qingyue's enormous black eyes looked down from above, all three abruptly fell silent.
Watching their expressions change in an instant, Li Mu felt rather rueful, but he did not mind.
He patted the horse's back and drove the carriage swiftly onward. Two days passed almost in the blink of an eye.
To him, this was a heaven-sent opportunity. He could use it to destroy the White Tiger Duke's Mansion outright.
When the time came, even if anyone grew suspicious, they would not suspect them.
Then he could toss Huo Yutong and Wang Dong over to the Sun Moon Empire to scout the way for him. Once his semester ended and he went to the Sun Moon Empire, he would already have acquaintances there.
Especially once the two of them established connections, some things would become much easier to handle.
As he thought, Li Mu's expression brightened a little.
Time passed quickly. After arriving in Heaven Dou City and replenishing his supplies, he switched to another carriage and drove toward the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
The White Tiger Duke's Mansion itself did not occupy much land, but all the fertile fields for a thousand li around belonged to its estate.
So the moment he reached a nearby village, he would actually be discovered, but Li Mu did not care.
Because he had no intention of leaving survivors-or rather, he had never intended to let anyone remain at the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
After confirming that the place ahead was the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and checking his map another two or three times, Li Mu stretched.
His gaze turned toward the carriage. After a moment's thought, he casually tied the horse to a reasonably sturdy tree.
As the mobile space opened, Huo Yutong stepped out.
Her gaze was still somewhat wary, but as she looked into the distance, she saw the utterly familiar White Tiger Duke's Mansion so close at hand.
The hesitation in the girl's eyes was abruptly replaced by killing intent.
She glared fiercely in that direction, then turned a puzzled gaze toward Li Mu. Immediately afterward, she saw him bring Dai Huabin out.
"Still recognize this fellow? Dai Huabin, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion's second young master. He probably bullied you when you were little, didn't he?"
As Li Mu spoke, he smiled at Huo Yutong.
Hearing his words, Huo Yutong examined Dai Huabin closely. Killing intent burst from her eyes, and the White Tiger Dagger appeared in her hand.
But just as Huo Yutong focused and prepared herself, Li Mu calmly pushed Dai Huabin over.
With one hand gripping Dai Huabin's neck, he exposed his throat right before Huo Yutong, wanting her to kill him outright.
At Li Mu's action, Huo Yutong's raised hand abruptly stiffened for an instant, and a trace of hesitation flashed through her eyes.
Although she was currently filled with towering hatred and killing intent, her nature was too kind-or rather, she had never possessed that sort of ruthless disposition.
If she had truly been ruthless enough, she would not have ended up trained into a dog by Tang San, becoming God King Tang's foremost loyal hound.
Although that had much to do with Shrek's education, making her an unlucky victim of Shrek's loyalty training.
It also had something to do with her own personality.
Ultimately, her disposition was not forceful enough.
But the problem was that Li Mu did not need someone indecisive.
This was not yet the era ten thousand years later, when people at least paid some attention to so-called laws.
After all, by then, it was already very similar to the modern world Li Mu came from.
But in this era, there were no laws to speak of.
Moreover, killing someone in this world was an utterly ordinary occurrence.
Li Mu had already been tainted not long after arriving here, let alone Huo Yutong.
Looking at the throat brought before her, then meeting Li Mu's increasingly cold expression, Huo Yutong pressed her lips together lightly, her pearly teeth biting into her lip.
Then she raised her hand, and the dagger slashed down. In the next second, Dai Huabin's throat was cut open.
Intense pain struck. Dai Huabin, who had been unconscious, abruptly woke and clutched his neck, letting out one scream after another.
Three Soul Rings appeared around him simultaneously as he tried to activate his third Soul Skill.
But the next second, Li Mu raised his leg and kicked him in the waist, snapping his waist and abdomen completely in an instant.
With a scream, Dai Huabin's lower body was instantly paralyzed. He lay sprawled on the ground, staring at Huo Yutong and Li Mu in terror.
"Li Mu, there's no grudge between us. You're going to kill me over such a tiny bit of bad blood?"
"You have no humanity at all, you beast!"
Dai Huabin cursed, but as he spoke, he began to struggle to get the words out.
His neck had not been severed. Huo Yutong still had not struck to kill.
But with his throat cut open and blood spraying out, he gradually began to lose the ability to speak.
Looking at Dai Huabin's vicious expression, Huo Yutong clenched the White Tiger Dagger in her hand.
Then she took a step forward, and blood sprayed across her face.
Her expression, originally a mixture of fear and anger, gradually turned murderous. "Dai Huabin, do you still remember me?"
"Do you still remember how your mother wanted to sell me to another household as a bed-warming maid?"
"Your mother killed my mother, and then she wanted to sell me off. Today-today is the day your White Tiger Duke's Mansion is wiped out!"
Huo Yutong gritted her teeth as she spoke, anger filling her eyes.
Dai Huabin's eyes abruptly widened. He stared at Huo Yutong before him in utter disbelief, seemingly unable to process it.
The girl before him was the little bastard his mother had nearly sold off before.
"It's you! You little bastard, how is that possible? How could you still be alive!"
Because blood was pressing against his lungs, his speech was already muddled. His eyes began to lose focus, and even a hint of approaching death appeared.
But at the sight of Dai Huabin, Li Mu walked forward with a smile and raised his fingers slightly.
A wisp of deep-blue watery light enveloped Dai Huabin. He would not have survived, but wrapped in this watery light, he would be unable to die for at least two hours.
Looking at Dai Huabin's face, filled with anger and despair, Li Mu raised his hand, and an ice-colored longsword slowly condensed in his grasp.
Then, in the next second, countless streams of ice-crystal power began gathering madly behind him. Ice-colored spears and swords formed out of thin air at his back.
Sensing the ice swords filling the sky, those at the White Tiger Duke's Mansion had long since noticed that something was wrong.
After all, this place was at most only four or five kilometers from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
He watched several black-clad figures rush out swiftly, heading toward him.
Li Mu reached out and took Huo Yutong's hand. "Let's go. I'll take you to slaughter everyone in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion."
