The Divine Martial Stars

d the foreign slave cooped up in front of him was an enraged female warrior.
Although the two was in drastically different scenarios, they were equally beautiful and stunning.

Zheng Cunjian pried something out of the crowd and then told Li Mu with excitement, ”Young Master, turns out that the forty-six female slaves are not just normal slaves.
This time, the Musical House in Chang ’an paid a huge amount to snatch them over…
Well, I am really surprised. ”

Li Mu gazed up at Zheng Cunjian but did not speak.

Nonetheless, his eyes had made it clear that if Zheng Cunjian kept him in suspense he would beat him to a pulp.

Zheng Cunjian shuddered in fear.
Familiar with Li Mu ’s short temper, he dared not hold the story back anymore and said hastily, ”The forty-six female slaves were the Wolf Warriors of the Wolf Temple on the prairie.
Their leader, well, the slave imprisoned on the special carriage by herself, is not an ordinary woman.
She is the Invincible Warrior of the prairie, the daughter of a brother of the Great Jebe.
I was told that she was once selected as the Virgin Goddess of the Wolf Temple.
But later, curiously, she did not serve for the Wolf Temple.
Instead, she became a Wolf Warrior.
And, haha, the other forty-five slaves are her direct subordinates.
In the past few years, this troop constituted by female Wolf Warriors earned much fame and awe on the prairie… ”

”Wow, she turns out to a female warrior! ”

Li Mu nodded, a little impressed.

He only had limited knowledge about the prairie.

Half of it was taught by Qing Feng through the spoon-feed method at dinner, while the other half was learned from the long conversation he had with his sworn brother, Guo Yuqing.
His sworn brother seemed quite familiar with the prairie.
Li Mu could tell from his lines that he had deep feelings for that land.
At that time, Li Mu guessed that Guo Yuqing was from the prairie, but he did not ask his sworn brother for confirmation.

The prairie was the territory that did not belong to the three great empires on the continent.
It was ruled by nomadic people, a theocracy alliance constituted by many tribes.
The Wolf God was the most respectable deity on the prairie.
And the Wolf Temple was the representative of the Wolf God.
The members of that temple were almost as powerful as an emperor, and they could issue orders to any of the tribes.

Now that those female slaves were the Wolf Warrior of the Wolf Temple, their status must be quite high.
To draw an analogy, they might be as prestigious as the princesses in the Western Qin Empire and treated with awe and respect.

Plus, female Wolf Warriors were a scarce kind.

It was a shame that they were caught by the forces of the Western Qin Empire and reduced to prisoners.
Since their defeat, they had to live in massive grief and misery.

Li Mu sympathized them, especially that woman confined to a separate cage.

She was too stunning.
Her beauty was otherworld, breath-taking.
At only one glance, numerous men would be mesmerized by her and willing to do anything for her.

Such a woman with unparalleled beauty was favored by God.
She was supposed to enjoy all the woos and love of other men.
But now, she was here, being displayed as a commodity.
How sad it was!

”Young Master, if you ’re interested, I ’d like to make some arrangements for you.
Well, you know, I kind of have a say in Chang ’an. ” After observing Li Mu ’s expression, Zheng Cunjian offered tentatively.

Li Mu threw him a harsh look and snorted, ”I ’ll go and pick up my mother first.
That is the priority. ”

Zheng Cunjian ’s heart trembled at his stern look.
He hurriedly echoed, ”Right, right, right.
My mistake.
Our Second Young Master is a dutiful son.
And your mother has waited for you for so many years.
Of course, you ’d like to visit your mother first.
Young Master, please pardon my stupidity. ”

”Yeah, I know.
Now that we arrived in Chang ’an, we ’re in your territory.
You really have a lot on your mind, ” mocked Li Mu, who urged the horse to go faster and gave the scholar an unfathomable smile.
”If you are considering to tip that brute off or use his power against me, try it as you like, for I don ’t mind it at all…
as long as you don ’t fear death. ” The brute he addressed to was naturally Li Menglong, the magistrate who actually reigned Chang ’an.

”I dare not! Don ’t misunderstand me, Young Master! ” Scared, Zheng Cunjian hastened to defend himself.

He truly wanted to do that, but he had no guts to put the plan into practice.

Because before they left Taibai County, Li Mu planted a magic figure in Zheng Cunjian ’s body, which was called the Life-and-Death Spell.
He also demonstrated its power by, of course, activating it while it was in him.
The experience was…
Well, Zheng Cunjian swore that he would rather be cut by a thousand knives at the same time than having the Life-and-Death Spell torturing him again.

With the Life-and-Death Spell as the deterrent, Zheng Cunjian had to put aside his schemes against Li Mu for now.

In fact, Zheng Cunjian ’s blood chilled after he learned that Li Mu was also an intimidating warlock.
He knew how frightening those warlocks could be.
They could kill with no one noticing through all kinds of mysterious incantations and magic figures they drew up.
Hence, before he found some warlock more powerful than Li Mu and got the Life-and-Death Spell lifted, he would do nothing rash.

Li Mu simply smiled and did not speak to him anymore.

As Zheng Cunjian rode in the front to lead the way, the two strolled forward unhurriedly.
About an hour later, they came to the entrance of an alley in the west.

”Pi-Herding Alley? ”

Li Mu read the name of the alley on a stone wall.

That was an odd but accurate name for the alley.

This was a slum area.

”Your mother is in the yard at the far end of the alley. ” Zheng Cunjian pointed out.
