It turns out, they were the main characters.

When Mu Zhian thought of this, he looked up at Regina. Due to the angle, his gaze unconsciously fell on Regina's chest.

Then, his gaze involuntarily sharpened slightly.

This woman is cunning and unfathomable...

No, Mu Zhian wasn't looking at Regina's chest, but at the pendant on her chest.

After a brief moment of staring, a hint of surprise appeared in Mu Zhian's eyes.

That's... a bronze plate!

Why does she also have bronze plates...?

The moment this question flashed through Mu Zhian's mind, he seemed to realize something and raised his hand to open his personal interface.

My profile screen just reacted; it seems like something has been added.

Is it a title?

Or something else?

As Mu Zhian thought of this, his gaze fell on his personal interface, and his eyes were quickly drawn to the pink heart-shaped box for 'role positioning'.

Within this frame, some words seem to be emerging...

Chapter 238 Mu Zhi'an, the Chosen Heroine! 6K

Mu Zhian's gaze fell on his personal interface. Apart from the now densely packed titles at the bottom, a line of text 'Role Positioning' was appearing above the titles.

Following the text, the box that was originally covered by pink hearts now vaguely appears in view.

Mu Zhian gazed expectantly at the heart-shaped frame and the words that gradually became clearer from their initial blurriness.

This feeling is somewhat similar to opening a box or winning a prize, hoping for some 'surprise' to appear.

This is exactly how Mu Zhian feels right now.

The pink heart-shaped box had remained completely unresponsive, and he still had no idea what was written on it, which fueled his intense curiosity.

Now, after he discovered the third bronze piece, the text within the pink heart-shaped frame has finally come to light!

At this moment, Mu Zhian seemed to forget that the Holy Maiden of the Southern Wilderness was sitting opposite him. With expectant eyes, he stared intently at the text on the character's role, which was gradually becoming clearer.

"Judging from the number of characters, there seem to be five?" Mu Zhian thought to himself as he watched the characters gradually become clearer.

As Mu Zhian had predicted, the text following the character's description was indeed five characters.

The first two words, "chosen by heaven," made Mu Zhian even more expectant, wondering what the following words would be.

"The chosen one... the male lead?" After seeing the first three words, Mu Zhian had this guess in his mind.

This result was not unexpected; in fact, it was something he could have predicted from the very beginning.

After all, with Ye Yu's protagonist status reduced, his own luck has obviously increased, so it's not surprising that he will become the male protagonist of the new world.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Mu Zhian's face.

It seems all the previous actions were correct. With Ye Yu's status diminished, his status as the protagonist has correspondingly increased. And now, he has become the chosen male lead—

This should have been the outcome, but when Mu Zhian looked at the last two characters that appeared, his gaze slowly froze.

Character positioning: The chosen heroine.

For a moment, he wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes, so he closed them and only opened them again after a while.

However, the text in the heart-shaped box remained unchanged.

The five large characters in the heart-shaped frame were clearly visible to Mu Zhian. The words "Chosen Heroine" were even accompanied by a pink special effect, with pink heart-shaped bubbles appearing above them.

Very good... It seems that I wasn't seeing things, but that the words 'female lead' really are written in the heart-shaped box above.

"..."

Mu Zhian stared blankly at the five words on the character's description, lost in thought for a long time.

Actually, when he first saw the pink heart-shaped frame, he had more or less made such a guess in his mind... such as whether the character he was assigned might be the female lead.

However, this conclusion was so absurd that he had never considered it in detail.

After all, how could a normal man see a pink heart and immediately assume he is the female lead? Such a conclusion is too arbitrary and absurd.

But now the text here clearly states... that she is indeed the 'female lead'.

"Young Master Mu, what's wrong with you?" Regina, sitting opposite him, noticed that Mu Zhi'an's expression was a little off and couldn't help but ask softly.

She thought Mu Zhian was considering her suggestion, but little did she know that Mu Zhian was already deep in thought about life.

Calm down... Whether she's the chosen heroine or not, she's essentially living off a woman, isn't she? There's not much difference...

Mu Zhian quickly composed himself and tried to reassure himself.

However, some lingering shadows remain.

In reality, his essence remains unchanged; he can still happily live off his wife, complementing the 'protagonists' and ultimately achieving supreme enlightenment.

but--

Among these 'protagonists,' some are quite powerful.

For example, there's Lingxuan, who seems to be showing signs of turning evil recently, and Bai Ruoxi, whose surname is Bai but whose true nature is black.

Senior Sister Lan is also a bit cunning... I just wonder if she also has a 'lock'. If she does, who knows, there might be a famous scene like 'the sealed Mu Zhi'an' in the future.

It's rare that Mu Zhian still has the mood to make fun of himself at this time.

He has a great attitude; no matter what happens, he always finds a way to calm himself down.

After all, life is short, and no matter how you spend it, time is still limited. So, it's better to maintain a good mood when facing the world.

Hmm... Stay calm. As long as you don't make any rash moves that lead to disaster, it shouldn't be a big problem.

After offering some psychological comfort, Mu Zhian glanced at the description following the character's role: You are the choice of the new Heavenly Path, the only 'female protagonist' in this world, and also the golden finger of the 'protagonists'. This is the chosen female protagonist.

The "golden finger" must refer to my innate furnace, and the girls around me are basically all 'protagonists'... Mu Zhian understood slightly in his heart.

He then quickly closed his personal interface and returned to reality.

In short, what needs to be done now is to adjust one's mindset, figure out the origin of these bronze pieces, and why one's personal interface reacts every time a bronze piece is obtained.

Thinking of this, Mu Zhian's gaze fell on Regina, who was sitting opposite him.

"Miss Regina, where did you get this bronze piece?"

At this point, Mu Zhian's gaze quickly fell on the bronze plaque hanging on Regina's full breasts.

Then, attention was quickly drawn to other parts of Regina's body.

This bronze piece is so big and so white...

Compared to the agate, bronze pieces are utterly unappealing.

"A bronze plate? Is this what you mean?"

Regina followed Mu Zhian's gaze and landed on the bronze plate on her chest.

Seeing Mu Zhian nod slightly, Regina took off the bronze plate from her chest and casually tossed it around.

“I found this in a grotto in the Southern Wilderness. There was an extremely complex array set up in that grotto. Later, I discovered that it could resist the attack of the array in an inconspicuous corner, and I have carried it with me ever since,” Regina said.

Even now, she still finds the experience quite interesting when she talks about it.

Back in the Southern Wilderness, she had entered a grotto-heaven with other cultivators from the Southern Wilderness. At that time, many people were vying for the treasures in the grotto-heaven, but she took a different approach and found this bronze piece in a corner of an abandoned statue.

Later, she also used this bronze piece to obtain the treasure of that cave.

According to one of the three pillar gods in the Southern Wilderness Temple, the origin of this bronze piece is very mysterious, and even they do not know it.

"Can I take a look?" Mu Zhian asked.

Regina narrowed her eyes, a hint of curiosity in them, and said, "Judging from your tone, does Young Master Mu perhaps know how to decipher this bronze shard?"

As he spoke, he handed the bronze piece in his hand to Mu Zhian.

The bronze piece was completely useless in her hands because she couldn't activate its true effect. If she could get an answer from Mu Zhian, then this trip to the Eastern Continent would not have been in vain.

"I'm just curious about this thing, but I don't necessarily know how to crack it," Mu Zhian replied with a smile, then examined the bronze piece in his hand.

The bronze piece looked unremarkable, with even some rust marks from the passage of time on its surface. However, the patterns engraved on it were very familiar to Mu Zhian.

The pattern on it is incomplete, and if it were an outsider, they probably wouldn't be able to understand what it depicts at all.

But Mu Zhian almost instantly realized something the moment he saw the pattern.

What is depicted here is a sword!

The pattern on this bronze piece is exactly one of the blades of a sword.

This is... a bronze sword.

This thing may have no value to Regina, but to the person who can activate it, its value is extraordinary...

Seeing Mu Zhian's sometimes absent-minded and sometimes thoughtful expression, Regina's eyes also held a deeper meaning.

It seems he does know something...

Mu Zhian quickly handed the bronze piece to Regina, then casually asked, "Miss Regina, were you serious about your suggestion just now?"

“My proposal?” Regina tapped her long, slender fingers lightly on the table, making a 'tap-tap' sound.

"You mean the matter of the natural furnace?"

"If you're talking about that, then I'm really serious, okay?" As she said this, her eyes became more earnest.

"Why?" Mu Zhian asked.

Regina poured Mu Zhian a cup of tea, her voice soft and melodious: "Young Master Mu should know that my constitution is somewhat special, right?"

"I do know that... but what does that have to do with being born as a furnace?"

“The Soul Reading Physique gives me the power to read a person’s soul, but it also makes my body weaker than ever before. Before I reach the Void Returning Realm, this weakness will always be with me.” Regina paused slightly before continuing, “Even after I reach the Void Returning Realm, I will still feel this weakness every now and then.”

"But the spiritual energy you obtained from the Reincarnation Pool is of great use to me."

As she said this, her eyes seemed to be moist as she gazed softly at Mu Zhi'an and said, "That's precisely why I need the reincarnation energy in your cauldron."

It seems that the Soul Reading Physique is somewhat similar to the physique of a certain ancient family in the Eastern Continent... Before reaching the Void Returning Realm, his body was just like that of an ordinary person, no, even much weaker than that of an ordinary person... Mu Zhian understood slightly in his heart.
