At the beginning, I gave the future empress her death. I became stronger because I was stupid.

The body of Guo Moye of Hanwen Academy is still hanging on the city wall as a warning to others.

His wife Han Xueqi was demoted to a slave in the palace and became a maid in front of the emperor.

It is said that she was forced to dance and recite poems for the tyrant emperor, which was extremely licentious.

Somehow, this news got out of the palace and quickly spread throughout Chang'an City.

Everyone was sighing.

The former most talented woman in Chang'an became a slave overnight.

This is simply a tragedy.

Not only Han Xueqi.

The wives, concubines and daughters of other Hanwen Academy scholars also suffered.

Their family positions and powers were also taken away.

In just a few days, the major noble families in Chang'an City suffered huge losses.

All this was caused by the violent and cruel emperor.

Everyone once again witnessed the stupidity and cruelty of the current emperor.

In addition, the news of suspected rebellion from the north once again aroused people's dissatisfaction with the tyrant and their concerns about the future of the Qin Dynasty.

For a time, everyone was indignant and their dissatisfaction was almost beyond words.

Although there was no voice of conquest on the surface, many people secretly cursed him in private.

"That tyrant was too cruel. He not only killed Grand Secretary Guo, but also occupied his wife. It was simply infuriating to both humans and gods!"

A young man complained in a merchant's house.

"Grand Secretary Guo worked hard for our Qin Dynasty and taught countless disciples. After his death, we should have paid tribute to him. But now, even his wife has become the plaything of the tyrant! It's really..."

In a school palace outside Chang'an City, a middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar was also angry.

"Tyrant, tyrant, when has our Qin Dynasty ever had such a tyrant?"

In a restaurant, an old man with a white beard was full of resentment.

"I heard that the tyrant also forced Han Cainu to dance absurdly... This is worse than pigs and dogs!"

A young man was indignant.

"We are not convinced. Han Cainu is noble and upright. How can she be defiled by this tyrant!"

A group of young people were indignant.

"Mrs. Han has a bad fate. She is really a miserable person..."

A woman shook her head with regret.

A storm spread from then on.

Qin Mu's reputation for being mediocre went up to another level.

The effect was very good.

............

The tide was surging in Chang'an City, and the people were talking about it.

As the initiator, Qin Mu sat on the high platform, drinking tea and admiring the moon.

On the side, were Yun Yan'er and two other palace maids.

During these three days, Qin Mu was not obsessed with beauty all the time. He also practiced for a while when he had time.

Of course, it was double cultivation.

The double cultivation technique he obtained was not a decoration, but an immortal-level technique. If he practiced to the great success level, he could even have three thousand women and ascend to heaven in broad daylight.

Although it has not achieved such an exaggerated effect yet, it is indeed the fastest way for him to advance to a higher realm and increase his strength.

In less than half a month, he has already advanced from the first level of the Shenzang Realm to the fifth level of the Shenzang Realm.

And that's not all. Qin Mu's physical strength has also improved a lot, enough to rival the physique of a young divine beast.

At this rate of progress, it won't take long for him to enter the Yuanshen Realm and have the power to truly overturn rivers and seas and travel the sky.

By then, even if he encounters a cultivator in the Dongxu Realm, he will have the strength to fight.

"Your Majesty~"

Yun Yan'er opened her mouth lightly.

Her eyebrows and eyes are delicate, her skin is as smooth as jade, and her every move reveals a thousand kinds of charm.

She knelt gently on the ground and whispered:

"The dance you want is ready, shall we start now?"

These days, in addition to accompanying Qin Mu every day, Yun Yan'er occasionally helps Qin Mu deal with government affairs.

And because of the method of dual cultivation, she has also benefited a lot from it.

Not only has the speed of cultivation doubled, but the cultivation has also improved significantly.

Her temperament and appearance became more charming and seductive, like a fox demon.

Her every frown and smile exuded an aura that enchanted everyone, making people intoxicated.

This made Yun Yaner more docile, and she served Qin Mu wholeheartedly, fearing that she would fall out of favor one day.

Qin Mu nodded slightly and signaled to start.

The next moment.

Accompanied by the melodious and pleasant sound of stringed instruments, Yun Yaner slowly took lotus steps, walked to the front of the high platform, and threw countless petals casually.

In an instant, flowers were flying all over the sky, and the fragrance was rich, as if a fairyland had descended, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Then, a gorgeous and beautiful woman walked out.

This woman had a gorgeous face, a slender and soft waist, and a light and transparent colorful feather dress that covered her graceful body, adding to the temptation.

The skirt fluttered lightly, and in a trance, it seemed as if she was about to ride the wind.

This woman was Han Xueqi from Hanwen Academy.

However, compared to her past elegance and dignity, Han Xueqi now looked particularly charming, with red lips and a pair of phoenix eyes.

She had a strange sense of charm.

Even if Qin Mu had great concentration, he was still slightly stunned at this moment.

At this moment,

he finally understood the preferences of Prime Minister Cao.

Question Cao Cao, understand Cao Cao, become Cao Cao, and surpass Cao Cao.

Qin Mu perfectly completed these four steps of transformation.

[Ding~ Congratulations to the host for reaching a higher level of stupidity and obtaining the stupidity reward: the mark of the ancient demon clan! ]

[Ancient Demon Seal: When engraved on the target, it will make them obey the sealer and never betray for the rest of their lives. There is no way to remove it, and their mind and character will gradually degenerate towards the direction of the demons. ]

[The specific effect depends on the firmness of the other party's mind. If the target's will collapses, the target can be converted into a demon puppet. Note that the seal can only be engraved on those who are weaker than you. Those who are stronger than you face the possibility of failure. ]

The system's voice sounded, and then a strange black mark appeared in Qin Mu's mind.

This mark looks like a butterfly with its wings spread out, or like a burning flame, with faint black and red lines flowing.

There are circles of spirals surrounding the surface, but in the center, there is a pattern in the shape of a heart.

And around the heart, there are wisps of black air lingering, which looks extremely hideous and filled with evil and strange breath.

"Demon Seal?"

Looking at the black mark, Qin Mu's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile.

This thing is very suitable for me!

Whether it is used to make demon puppets or to control enemies, it is very useful.

"Your Majesty, your smile is so scary, do you want to eat me?"

Yun Yan'er blinked and said timidly.

Her cheeks were flushed, and she glanced at Qin Mu from the corner of her eyes.

After getting along with each other for these days, she had already figured out Qin Mu's preferences.

Qin Mu smiled slightly.

He pulled the other party into his arms with his backhand.

Yun Yan'er moaned and immediately collapsed in Qin Mu's arms, with a charming look.

Another ordinary day.

.............

The next day.

[Ding~ It was detected that the host had not been to the court for ten days, and a stupid reward was obtained: ten bottles of soul-replenishing pills]

Qin Mu opened his eyes in a burst of system prompts.

Soul-replenishing pills can make up for the lack of talent in cultivation and make the qualifications better.

For ordinary cultivators, a soul-replenishing pill is no less than an opportunity to change fate.

But for Qin Mu, it was better than nothing, and it didn't have much effect.

But it could be given as a reward to his subordinates.

Qin Mu struggled to get up from the dragon couch where the jade body lay, and tidied up his messy clothes.

He walked out of the bedroom and came to the side hall.

In the side hall, a man covered in black clothes had been waiting here for a long time.
