Chapter 235 Slapping the Face of the Heartless Cultivator 13
He found himself unable to speak, and when he tried to stand up, he found that his body was completely immobile.
He seems to have become a living dead!
"No!!" Huangfu Yi shouted in his heart, but no one could hear his roar.
Leng Yuexing walked out of the hall and saw Huangfu Ming leaning against the wall.
“He’s still alive.” Leng Yuexing walked over and took Huangfu Ming’s hand. “Let’s go back. I’m tired.”
Upon hearing this, Huangfu Ming squatted down and scooped Leng Yuexing into his arms. "I'll carry you back so you can rest well," Huangfu Ming said, pressing Leng Yuexing's head against his shoulder.
Leng Yuexing nodded slightly, then leaned on Huangfu Ming's shoulder and fell asleep.
When he woke up again, he found himself back in the palace.
Huangfu Ming was sitting on the edge of the bed, propping his chin up and looking at him.
Leng Yuexing, who had just woken up, was still a little groggy. "How long did I sleep?"
“Three hours,” Huangfu Ming replied.
Leng Yuexing looked up, about to ask something more, but he suddenly stopped. After a few moments, he asked with a slight smile, "Where are you?"
Huangfu Ming chuckled softly upon hearing this, "We've been traveling for so long, and none of the ministers realized this body was a puppet. How did you find out?"
“Intuition.” Leng Yuexing reached out and poked the puppet’s cheek.
"I'm afraid of disturbing your sleep, so I'll be meeting with the ministers in the front hall. I'll come back to you after I'm done," Huangfu Ming replied.
He remained motionless, allowing Leng Yuexing to touch and manipulate his puppet.
While studying Huangfu Ming's puppet, Leng Yuexing replied, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
After that, Leng Yuexing didn't speak again, and Huangfu Ming also focused his attention on the ministers, not noticing what was happening at the puppet site.
Until he suddenly felt a chill on the puppet's body.
Huangfu Ming: "!"
He instantly turned his attention back to the puppet and found that Leng Yuexing had already taken off the puppet's shirt, and he was about to take off the puppet's pants.
Huangfu Ming clutched the belt on his waistband, jumped back, then picked up the clothes Leng Yuexing had thrown aside and quickly put them on.
Leng Yuexing raised an eyebrow. "It's all your fault. Why won't you let me see? I'm more curious whether the puppet the physician made is the same as your body."
“It’s just a puppet. You’re mine! You can’t even look at the puppet’s body!” Huangfu Ming said righteously.
Leng Yuexing's eyes were filled with laughter. "Alright, it seems that this puppet's body is indeed exactly the same as yours."
"Then there's nothing to see. I'm going to cultivate. Call me when it's time to eat." Leng Yuexing turned and walked out decisively.
Huangfu Ming looked at Leng Yuexing's back and shook his head with amusement. Then he looked down at the puppet's lower body and clenched his fist.
He hadn't been able to find time to see the physician before, but he would make time to see him later.
Let him explain what this illogical, torture-like thing is.
The physician who was preparing the medicine shivered violently, glanced out the window in bewilderment, and then continued preparing the medicine as if nothing had happened, completely unaware that he was about to face a terrible disaster.
Regarding Huangfu Yi's matter, Huangfu Ming and his ministers ultimately decided to send him to the imperial mausoleum to keep company with the royal ancestors.
After Huangfu Yi stopped interfering, the monsters returned to a peaceful and tranquil life, and there were no more rumors of monsters being captured.
Leng Yuexing resumed her previous life, cultivating at the bottom of the lake during the day and practicing dual cultivation with Huangfu Ming at night.
After three years of cultivation, Huangfu Ming successfully broke through the Foundation Establishment stage and entered the Golden Core stage.
On the day he underwent his tribulation, a great storm raged behind the palace, with thunder and lightning. The thunder did not stop until dawn the next day, when golden sunlight shone on the mountain. The people called it a miracle.
Leng Yuexing entered the Foundation Establishment stage not long after, and then spent two years successfully repairing her Golden Core, entering the Golden Core stage.
On this day, Huangfu Ming received foreign envoys in the court and had the puppet accompany Leng Yuexing to the bottom of the lake to cultivate.
After finishing his cultivation, Leng Yuexing took the puppet to the back mountain. Hearing that the physician had transplanted many rare spiritual plants on the back mountain, he wanted to go and see them.
During her climb, Leng Yuexing encountered a servant coming down from the mountain.
He wore a long blue robe and walked down the mountain with an arrogant expression.
Upon seeing Leng Yuexing and Huangfu Ming ascending the mountain, he paused for a moment before kneeling and bowing, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Get up," Huangfu Ming said, manipulating the puppet.
"Who are you, and what brings you to the back mountain?"
The servant bowed respectfully and replied, "This servant is a cleaning attendant at the astrological observatory. I came to the back mountain today to pick some flowers and plants to take back and decorate the astrological observatory."
Huangfu Ming glanced at the flowers he was holding, nodded, and said, "Understood, you may leave."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" the attendant said, then rose, bowed his head, and respectfully left their side, heading down the mountain.
Leng Yuexing stared thoughtfully at the servant's retreating figure. He felt a sense of familiarity with the servant, but he couldn't quite place where he had seen him before.
Seeing that Leng Yuexing was deep in thought, Huangfu Ming asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Leng Yuexing frowned and said, "I feel like that person just now is somewhat familiar."
Huangfu Ming reached out and smoothed the wrinkles on his forehead, saying in a low voice, "Just a servant. Perhaps I've seen him somewhere in the palace before."
Leng Yuexing nodded. Perhaps it was true, as Huangfu Ming said, that he had just happened to see him in the palace.
If she couldn't remember, she stopped thinking about it and put the matter aside. Then she followed Huangfu Mingchao to the newly developed medicinal garden.
The attendants who were descending the mountain, namely the former Grand Preceptor and Mu, did not turn around until the two figures disappeared from sight, and gazed intently at the high mountain behind them.
His eyes were filled with gloom, and there was a hint of surprise in his expression.
He was certain that the person in white was the white fox whose golden core he had previously extracted. He hadn't expected that this fox would survive after being treated that way and even re-enter the Golden Core stage within the past five years.
Was it because he was exceptionally talented and extremely lucky, or was he too gentle in his approach?
He Mu's eyes were full of confusion.
What puzzled him even more was his state of mind.
Upon seeing the white fox, his heart began to pound uncontrollably, his blood rushing to his head, as if he had been bewitched.
He had never felt anything when he dug out the white fox's golden core, but now, thinking about digging out the white fox's golden core again, he felt a pang of reluctance and heartache.
How can this be?
Why did he have different feelings when he met the same person twice?
Unable to understand, Mu decided to find an opportunity to see the white fox again. Perhaps the problem wasn't with him, but with the white fox.
After thinking it over, he quickly walked towards the astrological table.
The astrological observatory was under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Observatory. After being stripped of his position as Imperial Preceptor, he devised a new identity for himself.
After obtaining the white fox's golden core, he used this identity to hide in a secret underground cave behind the palace.
The most dangerous place is actually the safest place. Sure enough, he cultivated diligently in the cave for five years without being noticed by anyone.
Now, he can use this identity to get close to the white fox, and he wants to see what's going on.
