Villain: Capture The Loli Sword Spirit At The Beginning

"Gu Lingxiao! Let me out, it's been over a year already!"

Trapped in the inner space.

In Taixuan Qing's perception, more than a year had passed.

Because she still held hope of returning to the Taixuan God Clan, she couldn't accept this disparity.

Her temperament had been smoothed out by this world.

If it wasn't smoothed out, she would have to endure torment.

"I'm afraid it's not that easy for us to leave."

Chu Mu sighed softly.

After Taixuan Qing had restrained her temperament, they didn't easily conflict with others in this world.

Although their lives were not impoverished, they couldn't be considered wealthy either.

At most, they could be described as ordinary.

Chu Mu could accept and endure such a life.

Because he had experienced greater hardships.

But Taixuan Qing couldn't accept it.

She was constantly dissatisfied.

After Chu Mu finished speaking, she stared at him intently.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

Taixuan Qing wanted to say something, but she shook her head when she saw Chu Mu's expression.

At this moment, their small wooden house was knocked on.

"Brother Chu, long time no see."

Several burly men pushed open the door, their faces carrying a hearty yet dangerous smile.

Chu Mu didn't say anything, he just threw a few pieces of silver over.

"Hehe, Brother Chu is really generous! Then we'll leave."

The leader of the men weighed the amount of silver in his hand and left satisfied.

Their time here was only a moment.

Watching this scene, Taixuan Qing had a look of wanting to speak but hesitating.

"You seem like you want to say something?" Chu Mu caught onto this.

"Nothing." Taixuan Qing still shook her head.

"We've been compromising with those people for a long time."

The "those people" in Taixuan Qing's mouth referred to the men who had just come in.

They were not good people, but rather a gang in this small town.

They specialized in collecting protection fees from the slums.

They had a fierce conflict with these men the first time they came to collect the fee.

Chu Mu's fighting skills were considered strong among mortals.

But even so, he could only take on two or three people by himself.

Here, Taixuan Qing was just an ordinary mortal woman.

After realizing the difficulty of dealing with Chu Mu, they grabbed Taixuan Qing from the side.

For Taixuan Qing's sake, Chu Mu could only compromise and pay the protection fee.

Once a month.

Perhaps because they feared Chu Mu's combat power, their attitude towards him was better, and the fee they collected was less.

Chu Mu asked, "If we don't compromise, what can we do? During this time, I have already assassinated those who tried to harm you. But our current strength is not enough to deal with all of them."

Taixuan Qing laughed, "It's so similar."

Chu Mu was puzzled, "What's so similar?"

Taixuan Qing said, "One of the elders in our clan often taught us to consider the overall situation. He told me not to associate with someone like you, who comes from a humble background, but to associate with the descendants of those peerless powerhouses in other universes."

She looked at Chu Mu coldly and continued speaking to herself.

"Since I was young, I've always been willful. The elders in the clan always told me to be more stable, to consider the overall situation."

"I really hate them, hate how they all seem mature and composed despite being so young."

"But then I met you. You have clear likes and dislikes, and you do things as you please. You're different from the young people in the divine clan. I really like your spiritedness. I like how you once said that even without the Tai Xuan Divine Veins, you can still reach the peak."

"But now, you're not the same as before."

Chu Mu furrowed his brows.

When he heard the words "Tai Xuan Divine Veins," he instinctively felt extreme disgust.

But he hid this emotion well, not letting Tai Xuan Qing sense it.

"Qing'er, have you ever thought about why I bowed to them, including why I bowed to Gu Lingxiao before?"

"Weakness. If you were strong enough, you could have rescued me from Gu Lingxiao's hands and exposed those extortionists."

Chu Mu didn't expect Tai Xuan Qing to answer like this.

After a moment, a trace of coldness appeared at the corners of his mouth, and the light in his eyes became dangerous.

"Do you really think so?"

"Isn't it?"

"Have you ever thought that the reason I compromised in front of them was all for you?"

"For me?"

Tai Xuan Qing laughed.

She had seen Chu Mu look pathetic too many times, and it was far from the Chu Mu she remembered.

When did that spirited young man become so pathetic?

She took a deep breath. "I understand now. Maybe we're not that compatible."

Chu Mu: "What did you say?"

Tai Xuan Qing: "The Chu Mu that Tai Xuan Qing wants to marry is the one from before, the spirited and carefree Chu Mu who would disregard the Tai Xuan Divine Clan, not the current Chu Mu who bows and scrapes!"

"Hahaha, hahaha!"

Chu Mu burst into laughter.

It was truly laughable.

He was willing to bow and scrape for Tai Xuan Qing, even willing to put his dignity on the ground for others to trample on, all to prevent Tai Xuan Qing from looking down on him.

"You think that way, then I have nothing more to say. Let's just end it here."

Chu Mu looked at Tai Xuan Qing coldly, and strands of demonic energy appeared in his eyes before quickly disappearing.

Indeed, what did it matter to him how Tai Xuan Qing lived or died in this world?

Could it be that if Tai Xuan Qing died in this world, she would truly die?

He was just trying to spare Tai Xuan Qing from suffering.

Chu Mu left with a slightly hunched back, and Tai Xuan Qing silently watched him leave without saying a word.

The two people who had once vowed to love each other forever were now parting ways like this.

"Idiot! They're all idiots!"

Tai Xuan Qing fiercely raised the cup in her hand and slammed it onto the ground.

But immediately, confusion appeared in her eyes.

Even someone as outstanding as Chu Mu could have such a side.

Did that carefree and unruly person she had in mind truly exist?

Chu Mu left, and Tai Xuan Qing's days continued.

In her perception, several months had passed.

She lived day after day with a numb expression, not knowing how long had passed, when a majestic voice came from the sky.

"Guilty woman Tai Xuan Qing, due to defying the clan leader, you will be confined for one year. Now that the year is up, the confinement is lifted."

A white beam of light struck Tai Xuan Qing, and she felt her body being lifted up by the beam, the intense white light making it impossible for her to open her eyes.

But at the same time, she felt her spiritual power and cultivation level slowly rising.

When she returned to her state from a year ago, the surroundings had also changed to the familiar environment.

The grand hall of the Tai Xuan Palace.

"Very well, everyone is here. Let's begin officially."
