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

Chapter 386: Knowing the flowering period, planning to explore the valley.

Ge Peining did not question.

In her heart, Miao Zhu had no relationship with her and she was not the kind of woman who would take advantage of a man's favor.

Not to mention that she had once rejected Miao Zhu.

Although Miao Zhu just wanted her to stay in the Southern Region, Ge Peining would not pretend to be ignorant. She knew Miao Zhu's intention.

In other words, she had been able to tell a man's intentions towards her since she was a child.

So much so that when she first met Li Mu, it was Li Mu's confusion, vigilance, and aloofness after his brief infatuation that piqued her interest.

Miao Zhu wanted to agree immediately, but the word "husband" was really a bit harsh.

Father Miao at the side coughed twice, glanced at his silly son, and said in a deep voice:

"It's not that I don't want to agree, but I have already promised someone else. If you are willing to wait, you can pick it next year."

Hearing this, Ge Peining immediately stood up and was about to say goodbye and leave.

She was not an unreasonable person. Since others had said so, all she had to do was wait another year.

At this time, Miao Zhu hurriedly shouted:

"Sister Xue Ning, if you really want it, I, I, I am the clan leader now, I have the final say!"

"You bastard! Without a pair of flowers, how could the girl from the Medical Witch family be willing to marry you? Are you trying to piss me off to death?"

Old Man Miao kicked Miao Zhu on the calf and cursed.

"No need." Ge Peining did not turn around, but looked at Li Mu beside her and said softly,

"Husband, let's go."

Li Mu nodded and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, Miao Zhu suddenly shouted:

"Sister Xue Ning, if you are willing to remarry me, it won't be a difficult matter. Your mother's illness may not be cured by one plant with two stems, and you may not be able to get the flowers back. As long as..."

"Miao tribe leader, you flirted with me in front of my husband. I won't bother with you because we have a past. If you continue to be so outspoken, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Ge Peining's voice was cold, and it was obvious that she was holding back her anger.

At this time, Li Mu took Ge Peining's hand and squeezed it gently, then looked at Miao Zhu and said in a calm voice:

"Can you take a beating?"

"What did you say..."

Miao Zhu's face turned serious. Just as he was about to speak, his voice stopped abruptly. He stared at Li Mu in astonishment.

He then groaned, spat out a mouthful of blood, and immediately knelt down in front of Li Mu.

"Boy, you..."

Old Man Miao standing by seemed to have just reacted, but before he could finish his words, he covered his chest like Miao Zhu, and half-knelt down with his body swaying.

Li Mu's movements were extremely fast, so fast that it seemed as if he had never made a move.

Seeing this, Ge Peining wanted to say something, but opened her mouth and said nothing. She just let Li Mu touch her fair little hand.

"First, if it weren't for Elder Ge, even if your entire clan died, you wouldn't be able to find the location of the twins."

Li Mu's tone was flat, as if he was talking about something very trivial.

"Second, you make me very upset!"

As he spoke, Li Mu looked at Miao Zhu.

When Miao Zhu saw Li Mu's eyes, he felt as if a hand was strangling his throat, making it difficult for him to breathe.

After a long time, Li Mu withdrew his gaze and did not take any more action.

With Ge Peining's beauty, it would be abnormal if a man didn't feel attracted to her.

But Miao Zhu actually dared to ask Ge Peining to remarry in front of Li Mu.

Moreover, there was a threat in his words, using Ge Peining's mother's illness as a threat.

Li Mu only punched each player once, which was considered an unprecedented good temper.

"You, what do you want!"

Miao Zhu spoke with difficulty, looking at Li Mu with eyes full of resentment.

“Flowering season.”

"You are dreaming... On the Xinchou day, from the hour of Hai to the hour of Zi, the difference between the two will not be more than half an hour."

After hearing what Li Mu said, Miao Zhu didn't know why, but he blurted out the words. In order to keep it secret, only he and the chief of the witch doctor clan knew about it.

Now he told this to Li Mu.

He has seen Li Mu's strength. If he wants to compete with Li Mu, the three tribes must join forces.

However, he was surprised as to why he said these words inexplicably, and the look in his eyes as he looked at Li Mu gradually became filled with fear.

"Xin Chou Day?" Li Mu was stunned for a moment. This obviously touched upon his blind spot in knowledge.

But he didn't think much about it and continued to mobilize his true energy from the training.

What he just used was, of course, the Confucian language that could consume his entire "can of blue" with just one word.

Ge Peining glanced at Miao Zhu with complicated eyes, and after hearing Li Mu's mumbling, she reminded him in a low voice:

"The Xinchou day closest to the flowering period is on the 29th of this month."

"Can't you just say number 29?"

Li Mu glared at Miao Zhu and said calmly:

"Thanks!"

Then he took Ge Peining and walked out.

Seeing this, Ge Peining looked at Miao Zhu, hesitated for a moment and said:

"Thank you, Miao tribe leader."

"Why are you thanking him?" Hearing this, Li Mu was immediately unhappy and scratched Ge Peining's palm lightly with his index finger to express his dissatisfaction.

"Husband~"

Feeling Li Mu's small movements, Ge Peining held Li Mu's hand tightly, speaking softly,

"Miao tribe leader, after all, after all..."

"He is nothing after all!" Seeing Ge Peining's expression, Li Mu knew that he had misunderstood that Miao Zhu had intentionally told them the flowering period.

He leaned close to Ge Peining's ear and whispered a few words.

Feeling the heat coming from her ears, Ge Peining looked surprised and whispered,

"My husband's words have actually reached this point."

Li Mu shrugged his shoulders, his face calm and composed, but his heart was already filled with joy.

Being praised by his own woman greatly satisfied Li Mu's vanity.

When the two of them returned to Yunzhou City, Li Mu's expression suddenly changed, and he said with some pain:

"Oh no! I forgot to bring all the daily necessities I purchased to that poor village."

Ge Peining, who was standing by, smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth.

"Now that we know the flowering period, my husband doesn't have to stay there every day."

Then, he seemed to be a little worried again and reminded quietly,

"But we have fallen out with the Manwu clan. Will they..."

"That's not what I'm worried about."

Li Mu shook his head. With his current strength, he could escape unscathed even if he encountered a Confucian master. He had never taken the barbarian witch tribe seriously from the beginning.

What he cares about is the so-called flowering period.

"Sister Ning'er, how did they calculate the flowering period? Even Elder Ge couldn't do it."

"So in my husband's eyes, grandpa is so amazing!"

Ge Peining seemed to be proud of it. She raised her chin, rolled her eyes, and said a little embarrassedly,

"In fact, my grandfather also found the twin flowers and the flowering period in March in the ancient books left by the Wu Clan. The Wu Clan must be more familiar with the Miasma Valley than we are. This cannot be false."

Li Mu nodded, thinking it made sense, and said awkwardly:

"Every profession has its own specializations. Mr. Ge doesn't have the time to care about these minor details."

Hearing this, Ge Peining burst into laughter. She also enjoyed Li Mu's flattery very much.

Afterwards, the two found an inn to stay in, learned the specific flowering period, and knew that they didn't have to pretend to be savages in the woods. Naturally, Li Mu's thoughts returned to the statue.

Based on the distance calculation, the holy statue should be less than a day's journey away from Yunzhou City.

However, even so, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Where can it be?"

Li Mu was tossing a coin in his hand. For something like this that made him completely clueless, divination was basically useless.

Especially since the surrounding area is the territory of the witch clan, if there was such a special statue that is invulnerable to swords and guns, it should have been discovered long ago.

"Sister Ning'er, do you know if there is any place around here that no one has ever been to?"

“No one has ever been there?”

Ge Peining was making the bed and replacing all the things in the inn with new ones they bought.

After hearing Li Mu's words, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said hesitantly:

"Now, ordinary people are not allowed to enter the three divisions of the witch clan: the Beast Forest of the Imperial Witch, the Medicine Marsh of the Medical Witch, and the Miasma Valley in the Barbarian Witch's territory."

"If you're just saying that no one has ever been there, then I guess few people have ever been to the depths of these places."

Ge Peining walked to Li Mu with lotus steps, put her hand on his shoulder, and said,

"If you want to know the details, you should probably ask the Wu Clan."

"It seems that the miasma valley is the most likely possibility."

"....Sister Ning'er, I want to go to the Poison Miasma Valley first."

Thinking in his mind, Li Mu spoke hesitantly.

Hearing this, Ge Peining slowly bent down and placed her chin on Li Mu's shoulder, her voice soft and charming.

"My husband, you only need to inform me about this matter. You don't need to think about it. My husband, just remember that I will always wait for you to come back. That's all."
