Chapter 36 Gungun, Panda And Emperor

"I can feel that I'm a little old now."

Li Mu was standing in front of the mirror.

There was a large, well-crafted bronze mirror, which occupied almost half of the western wall of the darkroom, in the dark torture chamber.

This was the design from Zhen Meng, a prison warden.

It was said that Zhen Meng might let the prisoner see clearly the process and pictures of his torture through this bronze mirror.

He thought it might disintegrate the prisoner's psychological defense line and let him break down through this method.

Li Mu didn't notice this mirror before.

Now, almost all the Wulin masters with Joint-qi level had been tricked, and even "Sky Dragon Sword" Dongfang Jian and "Iron Hand Holding up the Sky" Tie Zhendong were writing the redemption books in front of the table just like the students who were doing the homework a.s.signed by the teacher. The plan had been completed completely and it made him relaxed.

After eating up the last piece of watermelon and melon seeds on the table, Li Mu noticed the bronze mirror.

Li Mu found himself unshaven and his hair a little long when standing in front of the mirror.

He had been a bit long in this gloomy prison.

It was the same as staying up late to watch a ball game on Earth, and it was more mind-consuming.

He stretched himself.

No matter the men or women on this alien world—Martial Art Star, they all had long hair with different styles of hair buns, which was quite very similar to ancient China, and it was very difficult and time-consuming for them to comb their hair.

It had been several months since Li Mu came to this planet, and it might because his physique had been strengthened after he practiced the Xiantian Skill that his hair had grown so fast and over his shoulders.

"My hair is too long and I'm feeling uncomfortable. It's also difficult to comb it."

Actually, Li Mu still kept his habits which he had on the earth these days.

"What about a haircut by myself?"

As Li Mu thought so, his gaze sharpened.

"Yes, I'm only an alien and I'll be staying on these two planets for decades at most, it's not necessary for me to merge into local society since I'll go back and become a superman on the earth sooner or later."

"Action is better than hesitation!"

Clang!

Li Mu looked around and finally took down the famous "Zhengyang sword" from the weapon rack, which he had gotten from "Sky Dragon Sword" Dongfang Jian.

"You... what are you doing?"

Dongfang Jian and Tie Zhendong, who were forced to finish the letter of redemption, lost their countenances.

Would Li Mu kill them?

Would he kill them before taking the property?

That was so brutal.

Li Mu just ignored the two trembling hostages.

He took the sword and came to the front of the bronze mirror to have a haircut for himself.

Now, Li Mu had perfect control of his limbs, and it was rather simple for him to have a haircut for himself.

The "Zhengyang Sword" was extremely sharp.

As Li Mu acted, strands of long black hair fell to the ground.

Dongfang Jian's heart was bleeding and his face was covered with shame.

That was the sword which he had tried hard to get after killing so many outstanding figures from the Northwest Wulin World, but now it was used by such a great devil Li Mu for a haircut.

And Tie Zhendong even looked puzzled.

What did this Taibai County Magistrate want to do on earth?

Why did he cut his hair off?

Was he going to become a monk?

A moment later.

Li Mu blew down some hair on the "Zhengyang Sword" and looked at himself with satisfaction in the mirror.

Crew cut.

It was his favorite hairstyle during earth time.

Short hair made him feel simple and refreshed, and it was easy to take care of it.

"Aha, that's good. And I don't need to worry about it since my hairstyle will never be out of order."

Li Mu was very satisfied with his new hair style.

He had improved his spirit and physical strength greatly after practicing the "Zhenwu Boxing" and "Xiantian Skill, and they were much stronger than he was on the earth.

When he stood in front of the mirror, there was a handsome boy who was vigorous and well-featured in it. Though he was not so delicate and handsome to the extreme, he was filled with masculine beauty of men with some good essences too.

"Aha, I've improved my level of beauty..."

Li Mu struck some poses with satisfaction.

Clang!

The sword was sheathed.

"Well, you've finished the redemption letter?"

Li Mu turned around and looked at Dongfang Jian and Tie Zhendong, both of whom were in a state of oblivion. He took the redemption letters from the table with a smile and read them carefully with great satisfaction.

"Well, then you'll have to stay in the county jail during the following time before your factions and families show their sincerity to me. Taibai County is a small county. It is poor with insufficient production, so please don't mind when there's not enough or good food for you."

Li Mu smiled like a weasel who just returned from a chicken pen full of loads.

To be honest, it was rather hard for Dongfang Jian and Tie Zhendong to connect the greedy businessman-like fellow in front of them with the unrivaled Taibai County Magistrate.

This Taibai County Magistrate was so odd.

"Well, by the way, I must tell you bluntly that you'll lose one leg when you escape once... So, I suggest both of you not to try to run away, nor to try to incite others to run away. I'll feel sorry if anyone of you escapes. Anyway, every one of you is of great value for me."

Li Mu was telling the truth.

Now, these Wulin masters who had been intercepted were like silver and gold for him.

And this was his first pot of gold in the real sense after his coming to this Martial Art Star.

Dongfang Jian and Tie Zhendong were angry but speechless when they faced the threat of Li Mu.

They had never been bullied like this before.

They would never come to this Taibai County if they knew this early.

As Li Mu was speaking, the iron gate was opened.

The secretary Feng Yuanxing and the warden Zhen Meng came in.

"Have you got everything properly jacked up?" Li Mu looked at them and asked.

Of course, the two should not be careless about the arrangement for the remaining Wulin masters, or else, those masters might escape and they were previously arranged by these two guys.

"Yes." Feng Yuanxing replied.

"I'm sure none of them will escape," Zhen Meng said with great confidence.

Li Mu nodded with satisfaction.

It had taken Feng Yuanxing a long time to earn Li Mu's trust.

As for Zhen Meng, he seemed to have an aura which could make others trust him easily, and when speaking the same words, he was more convincing than others.

"Well, take these two warriors away and watch them carefully. Remember not to give them too much food, so that they will not escape due to starving... Aha."

Li Mu was so inwardly vicious.

He felt that he was almost addicted to being a great devil.

"By the way, one more thing, master, I've already ordered others to make the clothes you've mentioned several days ago," Feng Yuanxing said with a fawning smile.

He waved his hand and let two guards behind him come in with a small box.

He opened the box, inside of which were more than a dozen pieces of clothes made of soft cloth with a peculiar style, and they were mainly white.

Earth style clothes.

Trousers, robes and ancient style boots...

They were all dresses full of elements of modern Chinese style.

Li Mu was stunned.

He felt a little surprised but soon understood it.

Feng Yuanxing was really a super flatterer.

Several days ago during the lunchtime, when he talked about food, clothing, shelter, and transportation inadvertently with those two young attendants, he couldn't help but mention the concept of the clothes on the earth, and because he missed earth so much, he could not help but said a lot about it to them.

Feng Yuanxing was also there at that time.

Li Mu never expected that Feng Yuanxing was such a considerate person.

Feng Yuanxing had not only kept his thoughtless word in mind but also sent someone to tailor the clothes for him.

Li Mu took out a gown from the box.

The white gown had a simple style but with the tailoring idea of the industrial style from the earth. It looked simple and plain but had incomparably exquisite workmans.h.i.+p, and it was very similar to the modern Chinese gown on the earth.

It could be found that Feng Yuanxing really had paid great attention to it.

It was easier for Li Mu to put on and off this ancient-style robe compared with the Taoist robe on him since there were no other belts nor layers of sleeves inside and outside the clothes. And this was quite suitable for Li Mu as he was so "lazy".

Moreover, it was completely tailored according to Li Mu's size.

"Thank you."

Li Mu changed into these robes, trousers, and boots in front of the bronze mirror.

He had taken a new look.

They might be outlandish clothes for others combined with Li Mu's short hair, but Li Mu was quite satisfied with it, and this kind of costume made him feel in a trance, a feeling of returning to the earth. Though they were not suits or straight-legged trousers, they helped him recall so many good memories on the earth.

The teenager in modern Chinese ancient-style clothes in the mirror showed a strange sense of evil spirit. He looked simple but had a Taoist aura.

"Good, you did a good job."

Li Mu patted Feng Yuanxing on the shoulder with great satisfaction.

Li Mu really enjoyed having such a flatterer with him.

The County Magistrate felt as if he was going to be bad due to such bribery.

Feng Yuanxing felt so amazed.

Though he knew he was doing this on purpose, he never expected that the result was so good.

He never expected that his speculative mind could win grand appreciation from the County Magistrate, and it made him more determined that he must make more efforts to win more praise from Li Mu through various ideas.

And Zhen Meng was inspired as he saw this.

But he still maintained his style without saying any word.

Didn't he want to be put in an important position by the County Magistrate?

Of course not.

The reason why he had shown himself in front of Li Mu before was not because he didn't want to get raised but because he found himself not qualified— he was not talkative without wealth or good social relations.h.i.+p, and it was useless for him to do so since he could only manage and question the prisoners.

However, Zhen Meng had a shrewd suspicion that the County Magistrate seemed to have an excellent feeling towards him.

He realized that his good chance was coming.

But he was also quite clear that he was totally different from Feng Yuanxing, who was smooth and agreeable.

He could never learn to be like Feng Yuanxing.

If he wanted to gain the magistrate's trust and be put in an important position, he could only make it through his real ability.

And this was a good opportunity when there were so many Wulin masters suppressed in jail.

He might seize this opportunity as long as he achieved the magistrate's will by guarantying that no master would escape.

He was not to be interested in gaining merit but only in avoiding making mistakes.

Finally, Dongfang Jian and Tie Zhendong were taken away with humiliation and incomprehensibility.

Li Mu was just experiencing the new clothes in front of the bronze mirror and also put forward a lot of opinions for Feng Yuanxing.

"You can find someone to draw down the design of the clothes and show them to me. When I say they are ok, you can use the green snakeskin to make new clothes. They will be more durable. Of course, you can also use ordinary cloth too. The more, the better."

"It makes sense for me to get more clothes for spare use since I'm a County Magistrate, right?"

"Though this kind of clothes may look bizarre in the eyes of the people on this planet just like the clothes of punk style in the eyes of the people on earth."

"But, who cares?"

"As I like."

"From now on, this is my new image in this world."

Li Mu was very pleased.

Feng Yuanxing kept everything in his mind.

Just then, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside.

Clang! Clang!

The door was opened.

Ma Junwu was b.l.o.o.d.y and rushed in.

"Bad news, master... there're some martial art masters attacking the county government, some of our men got hurt, and Ming Yue has been taken away..."

"What..."

Li Mu lost countenance suddenly as he heard so.

How could it happen like this?

This was the internal matter.

Wasn't it enough for him to deter these stupid guys in Jianghu by his performance on the Wulin Champions.h.i.+p today?

"Who did that?" Li Mu asked and went out of the prison.

It was more important to get back to the government first.

Ma Junwu wiped the blood on his face, followed him quickly, and said, "It's a blind Taoist with a crow. He could show black art. Our brothers couldn't stop him though they tried hard. The Taoist broke into the county government office and took Ming Yue away. He also said that Ming Yue was a devil and he would pull out her tendons, strip her skin and bleed her..."
