It turns out, they were the main characters.

Mu Zhian reacted faster, immediately taking two steps back before glancing at the text in the book.

"He knows how to manage his husband." Mu Zhian muttered to himself, then glanced at Bai Ruoxi again, almost unconsciously.

"Hmm... Ruoxi, you're still reading this?" Mu Zhian silently handed the book back to Bai Ruoxi.

"It was lent to me by a friend before..."

Bai Ruoxi's face flushed instantly, and when she noticed Mu Zhian's strange gaze, she became even more embarrassed, her beautiful peach blossom eyes filled with a misty haze.

Then, as if she had given up all hope, she puffed out her cheeks, raised her head and looked at Mu Zhian: "It's all because Mu Lang is always flirting with other women. I was just a little uneasy and wanted to see if there were any useful methods up there..."

Looking at the beautiful woman in her elegant palace dress, with her delicate and graceful features, her moist eyes and her full heart, Mu Zhian couldn't help but walk to her side and sit on the swing together, gently holding Bai Ruoxi's small hand in one hand.

Instead of dwelling on the issue of the books, he took out a piece of bronze that looked quite ancient.

Bai Ruoxi's attention was immediately drawn, and she said, "This is..."

“It should be the same type as the bronze fragments you refined before, which is why I wanted you to see it.” As Mu Zhian said this, he subconsciously glanced at the unfathomable chest of the elegant beauty.

"A second bronze fragment? It does look like the same one I got before..." Bai Ruoxi took out the bronze fragment that exuded an ancient aura from her bosom.

The bronze fragments were crescent-shaped, looked quite ordinary, and seemed to emit a faint milky fragrance.

Mu Zhian played with the bronze fragment that Bai Ruoxi had just taken out, and then compared it with the second bronze fragment he had obtained.

Both bronze fragments are crescent-shaped, and the symbols on them are almost identical... Clearly, they are indeed the same bronze fragment.

"Why don't you try to refine it?" Mu Zhian asked tentatively.

Bai Ruoxi nodded slightly, took the bronze fragment handed to her by Mu Zhian, held it in her hand, and closed her eyes slightly.

Mu Zhian sat patiently to the side, playing with the bronze fragment that Bai Ruoxi had previously hung around her neck, while admiring the beautiful figure of the woman sitting on the swing.

After a moment, he saw Bai Ruoxi slowly open her eyes, gently shake her head, and say, "This bronze fragment doesn't react to me."

It's not Ruoxi's cheat code...?

Mu Zhian was somewhat surprised.

I thought that since Bai Ruoxi possessed the first bronze fragment, the second bronze fragment should also be hers... But now it seems that my previous guess was wrong?

Mu Zhian put away the bronze fragments he had just obtained from the Hall of Law Enforcement, then glanced at Bai Ruoxi and said, "Let me help you put it back on."

Bai Ruoxi shook her head demurely and said softly, "No need, I can do it myself."

"No, helping others is my source of happiness, so don't be polite with me, Ruoxi!" Mu Zhian refused seriously, his eyes fixed intently on the girl in front of him, on the faint blush on her cheeks, and on her full breasts that proudly supported her plain white dress.

For a moment, a sense of longing filled his eyes.

Even though it wasn't the first time Mu Zhian had witnessed Bai Ruoxi's despicable nature, he still couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings) no matter how many times he watched it.

As Bai Ruoxi gazed at him with shy eyes, Mu Zhian took a thin red rope from her chest, wrapped it around the bronze fragment, and then put his arms around Bai Ruoxi's back to re-hang the bronze fragment ornament. He then carefully placed the ornament back into her arms.

He withdrew his hand only after the bronze fragments fell onto her chest, completely satisfied.

Then, looking at the slightly flushed face of the beautiful woman in the palace dress, he said, "You continue reading. I have something to attend to first."

After Mu Zhian left, Bai Ruoxi silently took out the book, turned to a certain page, and her eyes showed a hint of shyness and inexplicable excitement.

Mu Zhian thought this book was simply about "managing one's husband," but in reality, it also records some special techniques.

For example...

Bai Ruoxi closed the book, slightly raised her head, closed her eyes, and as the swing swayed, one of her embroidered shoes slipped off, revealing her delicate and fair foot.

……

On the other side, after bidding farewell to Bai Ruoxi, Mu Zhian originally planned to go to Ye Lingxuan's place, but at this moment, he suddenly felt the shadow beside him distort slightly. He turned his head to look at the yellow-skirted maid who had quietly appeared beside him and said, "Sister Mengrou, you don't need to follow me here."

Wei Mengrou gently shook her head and said, "I'm still a little worried."

Deeply moved by the maid's concern, Mu Zhi'an said, "Sister Mengrou..."

“I’m worried you’ll harm them,” Wei Mengrou continued.

Mu Zhian: "..."

After a moment of silence, Mu Zhian seemed to remember something important and handed the bronze fragment in his hand to Wei Mengrou, saying, "Sister Mengrou, would you like to try and refine it?"

Wei Mengrou glanced at the bronze fragment in Mu Zhian's hand, raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked, "What is this?"

"Good question, but unfortunately I don't know either..." Mu Zhian shook his head and said, "It's a good thing, but Ruoxi and I have both tried to refine it and we can't."

The title 'Reborn One' was activated shortly after he obtained the bronze fragment, meaning that this bronze fragment is likely related to 'Reborn One'.

If one of the girls around Mu Zhi'an has refined this bronze fragment, it means that the other party is very likely to be a 'reborn person'.

Mu Zhian is currently searching for the 'owner' of this bronze fragment.

Wei Mengrou glanced at the bronze fragment in Mu Zhian's hand a few times, and then a look of doubt suddenly appeared in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Mu Zhian noticed Wei Mengrou's unusual behavior.

“I seem to be able to feel the call from these bronze fragments…” Wei Mengrou said hesitantly.

This bronze piece is Mengrou's cheat code...? Mu Zhian suppressed his excitement and said, "Then why don't you try refining it? I can't use it anyway."

Wei Mengrou looked at the bronze fragment Mu Zhian handed her, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

"I'm rooting for you, Mengrou." Mu Zhian smiled and waved gently at Wei Mengrou, watching her return to her room.

The refining process may take some time, but Mu Zhian has the patience.

The waiting time was a bit boring, so Mu Zhian went to Bai Ruoxi's room. When he saw the girl who had already returned to her room to meditate and cultivate, his original intention to take care of the beauty was dispelled, and he silently sat down to meditate with her.

Late at night, he sensed a chilling aura coming from outside. Mu Zhian's innate spiritual body immediately detected the anomaly and went out of the room.

In front of the courtyard, Wei Mengrou, dressed in a gorgeous yellow dress, stood quietly by the lotus pond.

The night breeze lifted her skirt and black hair, revealing her snow-white skin, cold eyes, and perfectly proportioned neck and shoulders.

"How is it going, Sister Mengrou? Has it been refined?" Mu Zhian asked.

Wei Mengrou glanced at him and nodded slightly: "It's refined."

As she spoke, she opened her palm, revealing the bronze fragment in her hand.

However, there were already countless connections between the bronze fragment and her.

Wei Mengrou is now able to control this bronze fragment on her own.

"Did you gain any power?" Mu Zhian asked curiously.

Wei Mengrou shook her head slightly and said in a strange tone, "I didn't gain any power."

She paused, noticing Mu Zhian's somewhat surprised look, and continued, "However, some of my bad luck has disappeared."

Wei Mengrou's bad luck was so strong that she could sense it even without the testing stele. However, after refining the bronze fragments this time, part of that bad luck inexplicably disappeared.

As for where that part of the bad luck went after it disappeared, she wasn't quite sure.

However, it's a good thing overall.

It's important to understand that Wei Mengrou's astonishing cultivation speed was achieved despite being hampered by such immense bad luck.

Now that her bad luck has partially disappeared, her cultivation speed will be even faster in the future.

"It's not that you gained some special ability, but rather that part of your bad luck disappeared?" Mu Zhian was somewhat taken aback.

This is rather strange, since Bai Ruoxi obtained the 'Bronze Sword' from the bronze fragments she refined earlier.

As for Wei Mengrou, did only some of her bad luck disappear?

Also, where did this vanished bad luck go? Was it absorbed by the bronze fragments?

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment, looked at Wei Mengrou, and suddenly said, "Sister Mengrou, you've actually known me for a long time, haven't you?"

"In my previous life."

Wei Mengrou frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

For a moment, the maid looked at her young master as if he were a fool.

It's one thing to say these sweet nothings to other girls, but what's the point of saying them to her?

Mu Zhian stared into Wei Mengrou's eyes, and after a long while, gently shook his head and smiled, "It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of saying it."

However, a hint of doubt crept into his eyes.

Was it because Sister Mengrou was such a good actress, or did she really not know about the 'reborn' thing...?

Despite his thoughts, Mu Zhian did not press the matter further.

Although he was curious about where the "reborn one" in the title came from, he didn't press him for details.

Since they're all fish in the same pond anyway, whether they're reborn or not isn't that important; he just wanted to satisfy his curiosity.

Wei Mengrou observed Mu Zhian's thoughtful expression and suddenly asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

"What? Is Sister Mengrou going on a date with me?" Mu Zhian asked.

Wei Mengrou scoffed, "Does a busy person like you still have time to go on dates with other people?"

Then, she spoke seriously: "I'm talking about the forbidden zone."

As she said this, a hint of worry appeared in her eyes as she looked at Mu Zhian.

If Mu Zhian goes to the restricted area this time, he will be facing the Lord of the restricted area.

According to what Wei Mengrou had overheard Ye Lingxuan mentioning, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone undoubtedly doted on his daughter.

As a result, he brought a 'Daoist partner' with him this time. I wonder what will happen when the Lord of the Forbidden Zone finds out.

"We still have to go, no one's going to die anyway." Mu Zhian smiled. "Whether it's to see my father-in-law or for Fairy Sister, it's a necessary effort!"

He didn't mean anything by it; he simply hoped that the fairy in the green dress could rebuild her immortal body.

"Didn't you ever think about what would happen if the Lord of the Forbidden Zone refused to give you the Reincarnation Water?" Wei Mengrou couldn't help but ask.

"Then we'll have to try and get some from Lingxuan," Mu Zhian said with a smile.

"Lingxuan also has Reincarnation Water...?" Wei Mengrou's eyes showed a look of doubt.

"Yes, um... I think I do. I'll try it next time I have time tonight and I'll know," Mu Zhian said.

The naive maid clearly didn't understand what Mu Zhian was saying; she just frowned and pondered his words.
