Gu Mu's eyes gradually brightened.
He released Shen Ling's hand: "Ling'er, try getting angry for a moment."
"???" Shen Ling.
"So... angry?" Gu Mu scratched his head, thinking about how to make Shen Ling lose control.
But this girl was incredibly calm.
Even knowing that the world is an illusion, they still act indifferent.
It seems difficult to get her into a state of losing control.
"Your Majesty, are you perhaps... not quite right in the head?" After hesitating for a moment, Chen Ling still asked.
At the same time, he reached out a hand and touched Gu Mu's forehead.
Hmm... no problem...
The doubt in Shen Ling's eyes deepened.
While she was looking at the sky, she was actually observing Gu Mu's reaction.
Although Gu Mu looked dazed, lost in thought, and occasionally frowned with a puzzled expression, he would then grin and smile inexplicably.
Now, I'm suddenly angry again.
She couldn't imagine what His Majesty had gone through in that brief moment.
Perhaps His Majesty has a low tolerance for psychological stress.
Shen Ling looked at Gu Mu with a worried expression. She could cure illnesses, but only physical ones.
As for mental illness... I can't do that...
Seeing Shen Ling's face fall suddenly, Gu Mu couldn't help but laugh.
This little girl looks so cute when she's worried about herself.
He couldn't help but pinch Chen Ling's little face: "What are you thinking about? I'm not confused..."
"Do you remember when you were a child, you had some special abilities when you lost control?"
Following Gu Mu's train of thought, Shen Ling said, "My memories of my childhood are a bit hazy..."
"Do you remember that recent incident in Hidden City where things got out of control?"
Shen Ling shook her head again.
It seems that in order to prevent Shen Ling from easily connecting the two worlds, this world will erase her memories of the period when she loses control, so that she will not discover anything unusual.
As a result, Shen Ling can't remember anything now.
Gu Mu opened his mouth, intending to explain to Shen Ling.
But then it suddenly occurred to me...
If he tells Shen Ling that she needs to lose control, then they can finally complete the entire plot of this female-oriented novel...
Can a person lose control when they know they are about to lose control?
Telling Shen Ling would likely make her already calm state of mind... even calmer...
The only thing that made Chen Ling lose control was herself.
If Shen Ling knew that something had happened to her, she would be extremely anxious.
Looking at Shen Ling's worried expression, he realized that she was very concerned about him.
Gu Mu suddenly felt that his thoughts were dangerous. After all, if Shen Ling found out the truth later, she would definitely not forgive him.
But now...
This seems to be the only way.
Fortunately... he used his own life to provoke Shen Ling, not another woman, so Shen Ling will surely forgive him...
"Let's go down the mountain." While contemplating how to make himself "appear to be in danger, but actually not in any danger," Gu Mu stood up, took Shen Ling's hand, and said to her.
Shen Ling stood up obediently.
As she walked forward, she glanced at Gu Mu with concern.
My heart was pounding: "Oh no, His Majesty's question just now was also very strange..."
"Your Majesty, please don't be confused..."
With these worries in mind, Shen Ling would turn her head to look at Gu Mu more than ten times every half incense stick's time along the way.
Gu Mu felt a little uncomfortable watching this.
But... before Gu Mu could come up with a plan.
On his way back to the western frontier, he was ambushed.
Suddenly, a large number of soldiers who had been lying in ambush rushed out from the road.
Their martial arts skills appeared to be very high, and they seemed to have been prepared in advance.
As Gu Mu passed by their ambush route, a large net suddenly appeared from the sky. Gu Mu drew his sword and slashed the net open.
Immediately, the sound of arrows piercing the air came from not far away.
Countless arrows flew towards them from all directions.
Gu Mu's face was cold.
He was not afraid of being assassinated.
But Shenling won't work.
It's likely that the other side also harbors the intention of capturing Shen Ling alive to blackmail Gu Mu if they fail to assassinate him.
Because most of the arrows were aimed at Gu Mu, and a few arrows flew towards Chen Ling, but they were not aimed at her vital parts.
After all, Shen Ling is now Gu Mu's only weakness.
Once Shen Ling dies, Gu Mu will have completely lost his weakness.
An enemy with no weaknesses and immense power, and an enemy with weaknesses and immense power.
Actually, they are two different concepts.
"Ling'er, you should go back to Hidden City first," Gu Mu said to Shen Ling, unable to afford to gamble.
Shen Ling glanced at Gu Mu hesitantly.
Her hesitation stemmed from her concern about Gu Mu's mental state, not his strength.
Seeing Gu Mu's clear eyes, Shen Ling nodded: "Alright, Your Majesty, I won't trouble you any further."
Shen Ling knew her own strength.
Stay
On the contrary, it's a drag.
As for why His Majesty doesn't return to Hidden City... because even if they did return, they would still be in the same place when they came out again. Unless they plan to stay in Hidden City forever, they will have to face these enemies sooner or later.
Besides, Shen Ling understands Gu Mu; escaping is not Gu Mu's style.
After Shen Ling returned to the Hidden City, the sheepskin scrolls immediately surrounded her.
Although Hidden City is Gu Mu's territory.
After Gu Mu revealed his identity, his own people gained certain authority in Hidden City, which made the people of Hidden City afraid to attack Gu Mu's people.
But the parchment scroll was, after all, a level-ten sycophant. It knew the importance of Shen Ling to Gu Mu, and guarded Shen Ling every step of the way.
With the deterrent effect of the parchment scroll, Chen Ling is even safer.
After all, nobody wants to do business with this thing.
Once you've made a transaction, you'll have to listen to this thing chanting in your head every day; even covering your ears won't help.
You know, even Sun Wukong couldn't stand chanting scriptures, let alone ordinary people like them.
Thus, the parchment scroll gradually came to be seen as a kind of tyrant in the hidden city.
Gu Mu was quite at ease knowing that Shen Ling was in Hidden City.
What's more, there was also a fawning voice, like a lackey, calling out to Gu Mu, who was projecting his consciousness onto the hidden city to observe the situation: "With me here, you can rest assured~"
Hearing the ingratiating voice of the parchment scroll, Gu Mu inexplicably got goosebumps and quickly pulled his attention back to deal with the person in front of him.
Looking at the well-prepared soldiers from the Western Frontier, Gu Mu smiled.
Just when he was about to fall asleep, someone delivered a pillow to his door. He was still thinking about how to put himself in danger without arousing Shen Ling's suspicion and making her genuinely worried about him, and here they were...
Gu Mu did not tell Shen Ling about his full strength.
Shen Ling knew he was very strong, but she didn't know exactly how strong he was.
"If I were to be seriously injured and die in front of so many assassins..." Gu Mu looked at them with amusement, "That would be a plausible plot, wouldn't it?"
But this is a bit too much...
