It turns out, they were the main characters.

The girl in the yellow dress, her skirt fluttering, walked gracefully over, looked at the boy sitting on the edge of the bed, and asked, "What's your trump card?"

Mu Zhian said something in a low voice, but it was so soft that it was completely inaudible.

Wei Mengrou frowned slightly and leaned close to his ear.

At this moment, Mu Zhian leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Isn't there still you?"

Warm breath gently sprayed onto the maid's delicate earlobe, and in the dim light, it was clear that her earlobe was slightly hot.

The maid finally realized that this frivolous fellow was flirting with her. Her eyes turned cold as she glanced at Mu Zhian and said, "Relying on others is not a trump card; it's just being a kept man."

Although her tone remained indifferent, a faint blush was clearly visible on her face.

"What's wrong with living off a woman? It's great!" Mu Zhian said with a smile.

He's not just living off Wei Mengrou; if he could, he'd like to try and get close to Senior Sister Lan tomorrow.

Silent all night.

The next morning, the people of Tianxuan City were still going about their lives, completely unaware that the Dragon Head Forest was already teeming with danger.

Chapter 37 Hehehe, times have changed, my lord!

Dragon Head Forest.

This forest is located on the west side of Tianxuan City. Looking down at the entire forest, you will find that its shape forms the shape of a dragon's head. There are many demons in the forest, and ordinary people dare not approach it.

However, cultivators often venture into the forest to hunt monsters and obtain the materials they need, resulting in the deaths of many cultivators there every year.

Dressed in a black robe, Ye Yu stood at the entrance to the forest, his eyes fixed on the slowly approaching carriage.

He recognized the carriage; it belonged to the shepherds.

It's finally here...

Ye Yu took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, his eyes filled with an unquenchable fighting spirit.

He had waited too long for this day. He hadn't had a good night's sleep in the past few nights. Every time he returned to his room, he would start cultivating, all in order to close the gap between himself and Mu Zhian as soon as possible.

And... to get revenge!

Although he wasn't entirely confident, Mu Zhian wasn't a normal Qi Refining cultivator. In the past two years, he had been completely drained by beautiful women. As long as he remained calm and careful, it wouldn't be a difficult task...

Thinking of this, Ye Yu looked up again.

A rather handsome young man jumped off the carriage.

He had a head of black hair and a slightly delicate appearance, giving him a gentle, boy-next-door feel.

However... this was just Mu Zhian's disguise.

This guy is just a good-for-nothing young master who's obsessed with beautiful women.

No matter how well he disguises himself now, he can't change this fact.

Deal with him calmly, then crush him under your feet...

Just as the thought crossed Ye Yu's mind, he was about to speak.

But before he could speak, he saw Mu Zhian walk around to the other side of the carriage and extend his hand.

Inside the carriage, a slender, white hand gently rested in Mu Zhi'an's palm. Then, she lifted the curtain, revealing a pair of white cloth boots on her feet. Her skirt reached her knees, exposing her long, straight, jade-like legs.

That profile was snow-white and flawless, with two strands of hair gently draped over her face, and a pair of beautiful, peach-blossom-like eyes. It was none other than Bai Ruoxi, who had captivated the hearts of all the young talents in Tianxuan City in the past.

She clearly noticed Ye Yu's gaze from afar, but only glanced at it briefly before looking away.

This nonchalant attitude stung Ye Yu's heart even more. From beginning to end, Bai Ruoxi had never given him a kind look, but the Bai Ruoxi of the past had never given Mu Zhian a kind look either.

However, she now appears submissive to Mu Zhian, even letting him hold her hand.

Ye Yu clenched his fist silently, his anger almost uncontrollable, so much so that he didn't even notice his fingernails digging into his palm.

"Mu Zhi'an!" He finally spoke, his eyes filled with barely concealed anger as he stared at Mu Zhi'an.

Hmm, he seems to be getting anxious... Mu Zhian took everything in, but didn't take it to heart.

He told Bai Ruoxi to wait near the carriage, then slowly walked over, observing the handsome young man as he went.

In fact, it wasn't just Ye Yu; Mu Zhian was also waiting for this day.

Once the "protagonist" is dealt with, the damned "supporting character" label on your interface should turn gray or even disappear, right?

However, he wasn't as anxious as Ye Yu.

Ultimately, he was very open-minded from the beginning. If this "protagonist's" talent and luck were truly so powerful that they were unstoppable, he could simply lie down and let things be.

Just enjoy yourself while you're relaxing, do all the things that are supposed to be fun, so that you won't have come all this way for nothing.

If I happen to win... that would be even better.

Once Ye Yu is dealt with, his "supporting role" status will disappear, and he can become the "protagonist" of the new world.

Relying on the Mu family's vast resources, he could advance to the peak of Qi Refining, then go to the Liangyi Sect, and who knows, he might even become an Emperor in the future.

Of course, the premise is that we can first ensure that we can deal with the 'protagonist' in front of us.

"You're here really early," Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Ye Yu stared coldly at Mu Zhi'an, ignoring him.

Looking at the boy's calm and collected demeanor, Mu Zhian continued, "I chatted with Ruoxi a bit more last night, and before I knew it, the whole night had passed."

Ye Yu's face darkened: "It's just an intimate exchange between a vain woman and a spoiled brat from the Mu family. What does it have to do with me?"

Mu Zhian smiled and said, "She just doesn't like you, how does that mean she's vain?"

"Does that mean all women have to revolve around you?"

"Stop with the hypocrisy. Don't you know why she chose you?" Ye Yu's voice suddenly rose a few decibels.

Mu Zhian shook his head and laughed, "You said before that Miss Bai's annulment of the engagement humiliated you, but that was an arranged marriage from the previous generation, and she had no choice at all. After the engagement was annulled, pursuing your own feelings became vanity?"

Mu Zhian continued, "Also, Young Master Ye, you seem to have forgotten what Ruoxi's attitude towards me was at the beginning?"

This chosen one with great fortune seems unaware of any problem he has. In his view, breaking off the engagement is unforgivable, and Bai Ruoxi should marry into the Ye family as his fiancée.

Bai Ruoxi shouldn't have been so cold to him.

Ultimately, Ye Yu simply treated Bai Ruoxi as his private property, believing that the world should revolve around him.

He hadn't considered why Bai Ruoxi would reject him...

"Young Master Ye, if you win against me today, who do you think Ruoxi will choose?" Mu Zhian was trying to kill her by hurting her feelings.

Ye Yu could no longer bear it. In the next instant, he took a step forward, and judging from his speed, he was on par with a cultivator at the second level of Qi Refining.

If Mu Zhian hadn't directly crushed the spiritual energy of tens of thousands of spirit stones and absorbed it for himself last night, he probably would have had a real hard time dealing with Ye Yu's astonishing speed.

Mu Zhian raised his hand and struck out with a palm from a distance, sending a wave of energy towards Ye Yu.

"Qi Refining Stage 3?!"

A hint of surprise flashed across Ye Yu's eyes, but he did not hold back his speed, accelerating his potential to the limit and guiding the energy in his fingers.

Clang!

The heavy sword flew out from behind him, and he gripped the hilt tightly, slashing at Mu Zhian.

This attack was unexpected, but Mu Zhian was already on guard and drew his sword, holding it horizontally in front of him.

As the sound of weapons clashing rang out, a shockwave spread outwards from the two individuals.

The advantage in realm became apparent at this moment. Mu Zhian exuded the pressure that only Qi Refining Realm cultivators possess. He channeled his Qi, and the surrounding spiritual energy transformed into several sharp blades that rushed towards Ye Yu.

Ye Yu's expression changed slightly. The Heavenly Dao Qi in his body circulated rapidly, and a thin film seemed to appear on his body. The incoming spiritual energy blades were quietly dissolved and dispersed between heaven and earth.

Mu Zhian showed no emotion on his face and did not give Ye Yu a chance to catch his breath, swinging his sword at Ye Yu again.

But Ye Yu was too fast. Whenever Mu Zhian's sword was about to hit Ye Yu, he would speed up like a ghost and avoid the attack.

Although cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm have much more spiritual energy than those in the Essence Refining Realm, even Mu Zhian was somewhat overwhelmed by Ye Yu's repeated fierce attacks.

Bai Ruoxi stood not far away, her brows furrowed as she watched this scene, her gaze towards Ye Yu slightly surprised.

Although he was only at the Refining Essence Realm, Ye Yu's movement techniques and speed were almost indistinguishable from those at the Qi Refining Realm.

Father was right, Ye Yu is indeed a genius.

However... no matter how talented she is, it has nothing to do with her.

She didn't break off the engagement simply because Ye Yu had become useless; she just didn't like the marriage.

As Ye Yugui dodged yet another sword strike, Mu Zhian's face became much paler than before.

The price of his past indulgence in beauty is now showing; after several consecutive attacks, Mu Zhian's physical strength has been greatly depleted.

Ye Yu was also pale, his forehead was covered in sweat, and he was panting heavily. He stared at Mu Zhian and slowly said, "It seems that cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm are nothing special."

“No,” Ye Yu quickly shook his head again and said calmly, “You’ve only been weakened by lust. If I were to fight a real Qi Refining cultivator, it probably wouldn’t be so easy.”

That calm tone, coupled with a faint, seemingly disdainful smile, would probably have already ignited anger in most people.

However, Mu Zhian still smiled and said, "That's true. In the past, being obsessed with beautiful women did affect my performance."

"And last night's long chat with Ruoxi really took a toll on my energy..."

Ye Yu's eyes widened suddenly; the last sentence completely broke him down.

The spiritual energy that had been almost depleted suddenly surged back into his body like a rising tide. Mu Zhi'an looked closely and was shocked to see Ye Yu take out a pill from his pocket and put it in his mouth.

Ye Yu suddenly raised his head, and the pale complexion on his face had regained some color.

"Young Master Mu, I forgot to tell you, my other identity... is that of an alchemist!"

Besides cultivating these days, he also prepared a lot of medicinal herbs to refine pills, all for today's battle with Mu Zhian.

Ye Yu stepped back, his entire body seemingly transforming into a streak of light as he attacked Mu Zhi'an. A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes as he mercilessly slashed at Mu Zhi'an with his heavy sword.

Showing mercy to the enemy will only leave you with greater hidden dangers.

Ye Yu is about to use his deadly move!

In the distance, Bai Ruoxi noticed the killing intent emanating from Ye Yu. She subconsciously gripped the hem of her skirt and stared intently at Mu Zhian.

A gentle surge of spiritual energy emanated from her, causing her thin white dress to flutter softly.
