It turns out, they were the main characters.

However, at this moment, the Lock of Desolate Time from Ye Lingxuan's sleeve suddenly shot out, rushing towards the 'shadow' in the corner and binding it directly.

"I didn't expect there to be a thief within the sect. What are you doing hiding in my room?"

Ye Lingxuan looked down at the dark figure whose movements were restricted by the Lock of Desolate Time, her eyes revealing indifference.

The other party had a concealment effect, making it impossible to see the face of the dark figure. However, sneaking into a girl's boudoir in the dead of night, it was obvious that they were not planning to do anything good.

"If you refuse to lift the ban, then we'll have no choice but to send you to the Enforcement Hall," Ye Lingxuan said coldly.

She raised her hand and made a hand seal, tightening the bindings of the Lock of Desolation even further.

As the ancient aura of the Lock of Time emanated from the room, Ye Siyu, who was not far away, seemed to have noticed the commotion. As she passed Ye Lingxuan's boudoir, she immediately asked, "Lingxuan, what happened?"

Ye Lingxuan glanced at the dark figure and was about to speak.

At this moment, the shadowy figure silently dispelled its concealment, and the face revealed beneath it made Ye Lingxuan pause in surprise.

Then, she stammered, "N-nothing..."

Looking at the boy so close to her, and at his gentle gaze fixed on her in the candlelight, Ye Lingxuan instinctively looked away.

"Sister Siyu, you should get some rest... I need to rest too."

Chapter 251 Ruoxi, I'm sorry, I'm not clean anymore. (9K)

Tianhe Garden.

Bai Ruoxi slowly opened her eyes and glanced at the sky outside.

Tonight, snowflakes like ice crystals are falling in the Liangyi Sect. The candlelight inside the room flickers. She gently touches her chest with her slender hand and slowly exhales.

Bai Ruoxi got up and left the room. The cold wind blew outside, and her white palace dress swayed in the wind. Her fair and delicate face had a cold and clear expression like frost and snow. Her gentle and cold temperament blended perfectly with the white snow falling outside.

As soon as I stepped out of the room, I saw the maid in the yellow dress standing in the courtyard, staring blankly at the snowflakes.

"Sister Mengrou, has Mulang not returned yet?" Bai Ruoxi asked softly.

"I'm back, but I just went out again," Wei Mengrou replied, then poured a cup of hot tea and placed it on the opposite side of the table.

Bai Ruoxi walked gracefully to the courtyard, took a sip of hot tea, and then asked, "Where did you go?"

"I don't know," Wei Mengrou shook her head.

“He seems to have been very busy lately.” Bai Ruoxi lowered her eyes, but couldn’t see her toes.

“However, he came to see me not long ago and asked me to cast a concealment spell on him,” Wei Mengrou said, seemingly casually.

"Hidden...?" Bai Ruoxi tilted her head in confusion at first, then her eyes flickered slightly.

Then, as if she had thought of something, she glanced casually in the direction of Ye Lingxuan, and her eyes gradually calmed down.

In the snowy night, there seemed to be a hint of darkness in those gentle eyes.

……

the other side.

After confirming that Ye Siyu had left, Ye Lingxuan's gaze finally fell on Mu Zhian, her eyes filled with resentment, and she said, "When did Brother Mu start sneaking around in my room?"

"And you didn't even tell me. If I had mistakenly thought you were an enemy and not given a chance to speak, wouldn't I have transferred you to the Hall of Law Enforcement?"

As she said this, a small sense of relief welled up inside her.

If I hadn't just happened to scan Mu Zhian's body with my spiritual sense out of curiosity, I might have actually sent this guy who was secretly hiding in my room to the Enforcement Hall.

"This is something I had no choice but to do. If I could, I would like to come to you openly and honestly." Mu Zhian shook his head and sighed.

Ye Lingxuan's eyes flickered slightly as she stared at Mu Zhian.

"Could it be that there's some unspeakable reason behind it?"

“Didn’t you always refuse when I tried to chat with you at night?” Mu Zhian said.

"That's because Brother Mu is always thinking about doing bad things." Ye Lingxuan immediately rolled her eyes at Mu Zhian.

Two or three times before, Mu Zhian wanted to stay in Ye Lingxuan's boudoir and spend some more time with the girl while the atmosphere was still warm, but Ye Lingxuan, who was very wary of being ganked, refused each time.

"I never intended to do anything bad. Lingxuan has a very deep misunderstanding of me," Mu Zhian said helplessly.

Ye Lingxuan scoffed, "Brother Mu, do you dare swear to heaven?"

Making oaths is pointless... Mu Zhian quietly approached Ye Lingxuan, took her small hand, and continued to tug at her: "Are you still wearing makeup?"

Upon closer inspection, one would notice that Ye Lingxuan had actually put on some light makeup tonight, and the faint fragrance of her body mixed with the scent of cosmetics was refreshing and captivating.

Ye Lingxuan is already stunning without makeup, but with a simple and elegant look, she exudes a mature charm.

"Brother Mu is changing the subject, isn't he?" Ye Lingxuan saw through Mu Zhian's thoughts at a glance.

However, Mu Zhian did not respond. He touched Ye Lingxuan's smooth and tender face with his palm, and then gently touched her small, elastic red lips with one finger.

A flicker of panic crossed Ye Lingxuan's eyes. She involuntarily looked away and whispered, "What...what are you doing?"

"Why are you putting on lipstick so late at night when you should be resting? Did you know I was coming tonight?" Mu Zhian stared into Ye Lingxuan's eyes, his tone slightly teasing.

"I just wanted to try out the color of this lip rouge, and I was just about to wipe it off." After saying that, Ye Lingxuan took out a handkerchief.

But before he could wipe it off, Mu Zhian immediately reached out and pressed down on Ye Lingxuan's wrist, gazing at the girl's pretty face, which was made even more radiant by the candlelight, and her small, red lips that seemed to glow.

Under Ye Lingxuan's questioning gaze as she subconsciously looked up, Mu Zhian took the handkerchief from her hand and said, "Let me help you."

Under Ye Lingxuan's gaze, Mu Zhian's handkerchief was about to touch her lips.

However, at that moment, a melodious voice suddenly came from outside: "Sister, may I come in?"

The moment the voice rang out, Ye Lingxuan almost jumped, exchanged a glance with Mu Zhian, and under his direct gaze, answered in as calm a voice as possible, "Is...is there something you need?"

"I think I just heard something, so I wanted to ask you if something happened, sister," Ye Qian's soft voice came from outside the door.

Ye Lingxuan and Mu Zhian exchanged a glance and whispered, "It's nothing... It's just that the Lock of Desolate Time came out on its own and caused a little noise when I was receiving the inheritance."

A lock protruded from Ye Lingxuan's sleeve, its shape changing into a question mark.

Ye Qian didn't seem to think much of it, muttering to herself, "I see..."

"It's getting late, you should go back and rest. You just finished your inheritance today, but you probably haven't grasped the technique yet, have you?" Ye Lingxuan said in a tone of an older sister educating her younger sister.

She gently slapped away Mu Zhian's warm, large hand that was gradually sliding down her waist, her eyes filled with a hint of resentment.

Doesn't Brother Mu understand the importance of knowing when to act? How can you do something reckless at a time like this...?

Ye Lingxuan held her breath slightly, her innate spiritual body displaying its full potential. Only after sensing Ye Qian's aura disappear silently at the door did she breathe a sigh of relief and whisper, "You scared me to death! Brother Mu, aren't you afraid of being discovered by Qian'er?"

Although Ye Qian probably wouldn't say anything even if she found out, she might get even more excited when she sees her beloved Brother Mu and her beloved Sister being intimate...

Mu Zhian placed one hand back on Ye Lingxuan's leg and said seriously, "I know what I'm doing, don't worry."

"Stop fooling around, what did Brother Mu come here for tonight?" Ye Lingxuan gently slapped Mu Zhian's hand away.

If it were an ordinary person, Ye Lingxuan would have already used the Lock of Desolate Time to throw the other person out without saying a word. However, feeling the warmth emanating from the boy beside her, she couldn't bear to part with him.

Mu Zhian could clearly see that the girl was also reluctant to part. He sat down next to Ye Lingxuan, put one arm around her slender waist, and held her in his arms.

He lowered his head slightly, brought his ear close to her delicate earlobe, and whispered, "Sister Lingxuan, you've been in seclusion for so long. I missed you, so I came to see you. Is that not allowed?"

Don't you miss me?

Ye Lingxuan raised her eyelids and saw Mu Zhian's affectionate gaze. The candlelight made the girl's peach blossom eyes sparkle.

After a while, she softly hummed in agreement.

"Oh, right, I have something to give you."

Mu Zhian suddenly seemed to remember something and took out a special spirit stone that was flashing with purple light from his storage ring.

It is only the size of a teacup, and in the darkness it has a mesmerizing purple glow, making it irresistible to look at.

Ye Lingxuan subconsciously looked up at Mu Zhian and asked, "Purple Lightning Sacred Rock?"

"Do you know what this is?" Mu Zhian asked in surprise.

As expected of the Holy Maiden of the Forbidden Zone, Ye Lingxuan had obviously heard of most of the special spirit stones before, and immediately recognized what this special spirit stone was.

He had only ever seen this thing in ancient books. In the Eastern Continent, a Purple Lightning Sacred Rock the size of a teacup like this would be worth more than 100,000 spirit stones.

Ye Lingxuan instinctively covered her storage ring and said with a smile, "I've seen it in ancient books before."

She paused for a moment, then continued with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Mu, I like it very much."

"I'm glad you like it," Mu Zhian said with a smile.

He wouldn't stumble in the same place three times and then do something like giving away all the Aurora Crystals. The relationship between him and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi is just ordinary, and the girls around him all know this. Therefore, even if the Holy Maiden of Yaochi really does give him the Aurora Necklace in the future, it won't be a big problem.

As for Lin Keyu, that girl's personality is similar to Ye Qian's; she is a naive and innocent young girl who has not experienced much of the world. Naturally, she would not give him the Aurora Necklace in front of everyone.

When it comes to Ye Lingxuan, the approach needs to be more delicate, and a different gift needs to be given.

After chatting with Ye Lingxuan for a few minutes in her boudoir, Mu Zhian got up and prepared to leave.

"Brother Mu is leaving?" Ye Lingxuan looked up at Mu Zhian, her eyes showing surprise.

But what lingered in their eyes was a deep sense of reluctance.

She had assumed that Mu Zhian would sneak over to her tonight because the Reincarnated Queen had said that the spiritual energy of the ninth incarnation was within him, which was why he was so eager to make a move tonight... But now it seemed that she had misunderstood Mu Zhian.

Brother Mu respected her and didn't really intend to force her to do anything tonight under the guise of reincarnation...

Watching Mu Zhian get up and leave, Ye Lingxuan felt a surge of shame and gently patted her face.

He didn't intend to do anything bad tonight. He just thought of her immediately after obtaining some special spirit stones in the Sword Palace, so he secretly came to surprise her. But he ended up imagining a whole bunch of random scenarios...

In Ye Lingxuan's original imagination, Mu Zhian would take the opportunity to say some sweet words to make the girl happy, then pin her down on the bed and tease her, and then...

"When did I become such a lecherous girl..."

Looking at Mu Zhian's serious expression, and then thinking about her own wild imagination tonight, Ye Lingxuan, who was usually quiet and elegant, felt an urge to crawl into the ground and disappear.

Meanwhile, just as Mu Zhian was about to leave the room, he paused slightly and, under Ye Lingxuan's questioning gaze, came to the girl's side.

"Brother Mu, is there anything else...?" Ye Lingxuan asked softly. Noticing Mu Zhian's gaze fixed on her, and remembering her recent daydreaming, she lowered her eyes shyly.

"Didn't I just say I was going to wipe off your rouge? I almost forgot," Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Then, he picked up a handkerchief and suddenly covered Ye Lingxuan's eyes with it.

Before the girl could speak, her soft, rosy lips were immediately taken by Mu Zhian's lips. He tasted the coolness and softness of Ye Lingxuan's lips, as well as the rich spiritual energy of the Reincarnation Water.
