It turns out, they were the main characters.

However, they have always kept to themselves.

But now, this friction has arisen because of Mu Zhian's matter...

In a sense, Mu Zhian, the "destined heroine," can also be considered a femme fatale.

Gong Lianyue's gaze fell on Mu Zhian. The golden light sword on her back transformed into nine blades of light, forming a fan shape that unfolded behind her, radiating a terrifying aura.

Yao Meng smiled without saying a word, appearing quite confident.

Behind her, a wisp of blue light quietly shone from the Pure Lotus, emanating a peaceful aura.

It was this seemingly peaceful blue lotus that had caused many Dao Integration Realm experts a great deal of trouble in the past.

The Pure Lotus can directly seal the spiritual energy of others; this method is truly frightening.

However, the sword behind Gong Lianyue can split into 108 blades of light. If they were to fight, it would be uncertain who would win.

Mu Zhian understood. Both the Sword Palace Master and the Azure Emperor were very powerful people. The Azure Emperor was like an otherworldly fairy, seemingly kind and gentle, but actually difficult to approach and very domineering. He was suspected of having a crush on people.

The Sword Palace Master is a person with an extremely high degree of possessiveness, and coupled with Yao Meng's previous 'provocation,' this is how things have turned out.

He was caught in the middle, caught between the two, and no matter what he said, he would be wrong.

If it were just one person, Mu Zhian could simply say some sweet words and do a little something... but now, it's clearly not appropriate to do that.

Rather, he can't even transmit his voice now.

After all, no one knows whether the two powerful figures have any means to block the transmission of sound.

Feeling their gazes fall upon him simultaneously, Mu Zhian secretly took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

Then, he slightly opened his mouth, as if about to speak.

At this moment, as if she had sensed something, Yao Meng subconsciously turned her head to look at Wei Mengrou beside her, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly.

Mu Zhian followed Yao Meng's gaze and saw Wei Mengrou, dressed in a pale yellow dress, with a slender and graceful figure, holding the peach blossom from the black box in her hand. Her pupils seemed unfocused, as if she were in a daze.

The black mist that permeated the peach blossoms silently enveloped her.

Within the black mist, one could faintly hear the heavy clanging of chains.

"What was that sound?" Mu Zhian asked instinctively.

Gong Lianyue's attention also fell on Wei Mengrou, and her eyes flickered slightly.

The peach blossom in Wei Mengrou's hand seemed a bit strange.

That peach blossom contained something special... and now that thing has attached itself to Wei Mengrou.

"Sister Mengrou...?" Mu Zhian stared at Wei Mengrou's slender back and suddenly called out, feeling vaguely that something was not right.

The black mist surrounding Wei Mengrou seemed to be much denser than before.

However, Wei Mengrou did not seem to hear Mu Zhian's voice. She just looked down at the peach blossom in her hand, her eyes seemingly dazed.

Just as Mu Zhian was about to speak, he suddenly heard a voice in his ear.

--Miss you.

No... that wasn't a sound coming from his ears, but a sound that appeared directly in his brain!

I want to see you... I really want to see you, I really want to see you, I really want to see you...

The voice appeared directly in Mu Zhian's mind, a soft and melodious voice echoing in his mind, repeating over and over again.

At this moment, Yao Meng parted her red lips slightly, and melodious fairy music gently rang out from under the pavilion.

"Since you are still alive, why don't you show your true form?"

As the voice faded, a blue ripple seemed to spread across the ground centered on Yao Meng.

The voice in Mu Zhian's mind was also immediately cut off.

Wei Mengrou looked slightly dazed for a moment, then slowly raised her head.

A deep black mist enveloped her, and within that mist, one could vaguely hear the sound of chains clanging against each other.

"...Sister Mengrou?" Mu Zhian called out tentatively, but he still felt a strange feeling in his heart.

This woman is clearly not Wei Mengrou, but rather someone from the black box!

However, her spiritual consciousness seemed to be very weak.

Yao Meng's gaze narrowed slightly, and she said softly, "It really is the Primordial Witch... However, the spiritual consciousness that was attached to others has long been worn away by the years. This should just be one of her obsessions."

The peach blossom in the black box carries a lingering obsession left behind by the primordial witch, and that obsession is now attached to Wei Mengrou, seemingly wanting to fulfill her wish from her previous life.

Mu Zhian's heart stirred slightly, and his gaze fell on the yellow-skirted maid in front of him.

A deep-seated obsession, worn away by the passage of time, reappears in the world after ten thousand years, its purpose being to convey its longing to someone important to it... And if this obsession were to disappear after that, perhaps there would be no more Primordial Witches in this world.

Thinking of this, Mu Zhian couldn't help but feel a little melancholy, and his gaze towards Wei Mengrou was filled with even more sympathy.

Although it's unclear why Wei Mengrou is connected to the Primordial Witch, judging from the current situation, the Primordial Witch doesn't seem to harbor any hostility towards them. Once her obsession ends, the remnant soul attached to Wei Mengrou will likely disappear completely.

At this moment, Yao Meng frowned slightly as she saw the 'Primordial Witch' walking gracefully towards Mu Zhi'an.

For some reason, she felt that the scene looked somewhat familiar.

Gong Lianyue narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, staring at Wei Mengrou. The light blade on her back trembled slightly, as if she was about to unleash the sword at any moment.

She could tell that the obsession left by the primordial witch in the black box was aimed at Mu Zhi'an!

But what exactly does the Primordial Witch want to do...?

At this moment, both empresses stared at Wei Mengrou, their eyes filled with doubt.

Under their gazes, Wei Mengrou finally stood before Mu Zhian.

She raised her exquisite and flawless face, gazing into Mu Zhian's eyes, which seemed to hold a hint of nostalgia.

"I'm so glad to finally see you." Her soft voice carried a hint of longing.

"You know me, senior?"

Before Mu Zhian could finish speaking, Wei Mengrou had already placed one hand on the back of his head.

Then, as Mu Zhian's eyes widened, she tilted her head slightly and, under the astonished gazes of Yao Meng and Gong Lianyue, pressed her cool, soft lips onto Mu Zhian's lips.

Only the sound of snowflakes falling in the north wind could be heard in the courtyard.

Chapter 268 I love you, I love you, I love you, I'll always love you

The Primordial Witch, although she was once the master of the World Sea, never actually ruled it. It was only after suppressing the chaos that the various forces in the World Sea willingly accepted her as its master.

As for the reasons, firstly, Kyushu was in constant turmoil at the time, and the World Sea, due to its terrain, was not affected by the war, but it was still a cause for concern.

However, if a powerful expert at the Dao Integration Realm were to be stationed in the World Sea, there would be no more worries.

While the Dao Integration Realm experts in Kyushu might not know each other personally, they had at least heard of each other's names.

However, neither Yao Meng nor Gong Lianyue had ever seen the appearance of the Primordial Witch.

Not to mention the people of Dongzhou, even the people of the World Sea have never seen her face.

Because she only stayed in the World Ocean for a few years before mysteriously disappearing.

Based on her clothing and appearance, later generations sculpted her into a statue, which stands quietly in a port city in the middle of the world's oceans.

Although she is called a witch, people regard her as a god, and even her enemies will behave themselves when she is in that port city.

Because that port city is shrouded in a special secret technique, whether one enters the Void Returning Realm or the peak of the Spirit Refining Realm, their realm will be suppressed to the first grade of the Spirit Refining Realm.

Many people believe that the secret technique was the last gift the Primordial Witch left for the World Sea before she departed.

Regardless of whether the Primordial Witch still exists in the world, it is unknown. However, a lingering obsession left behind by the Primordial Witch in the black box ten thousand years ago has a wish that is simply to kiss someone... This fact seems absurd to everyone.

No one could have predicted this sudden move. In the end, who would have thought that the primordial witch who unified the world seas and stopped the conflict ten thousand years ago would leave behind such an obsession in the black box, and after attaching herself to Wei Mengrou, she would forcefully kiss Mu Zhi'an in front of the two empresses?

Not to mention Yao Meng and Gong Lianyue, even Mu Zhian's mind was in complete disarray at this moment.

It's true that he likes beautiful women, but the primordial witch's sudden and unethical attack still left Mu Zhi'an somewhat bewildered.

Then, another thought popped into my head: Mengrou's lips smell so good and feel so soft...

The slightly cool touch, accompanied by a sweet and subtle fragrance, feels like touching an ice cube, with a sweet aroma that makes you want to savor it again.

Mu Zhian's hand hovered behind Wei Mengrou, wanting to embrace the maid's slender waist and savor the beauty of her delicate body.

At that moment, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, a coldness as if he were being pricked by thorns.

He realized something without even turning his head.

Holy crap... Is Sister Mengrou trying to kill me?! Mu Zhian felt the soft warmth of Wei Mengrou's body while simultaneously feeling the cold sweat pouring down his back.

No, this isn't Sister Mengrou, but rather the obsession of the Primordial Witch...

However, the reason why this obsession would do this remains unknown.

But in any case, we need to stabilize the situation first... Mu Zhian placed his half-suspended hands on Wei Mengrou's shoulders and gently pushed her away.

His expression was solemn, and he said with restraint, "Senior, please have some self-respect!"

I'm already a married man, it's inappropriate for us to be so intimate. Why don't you find a time when no one's around...?

However, at this moment, Mu Zhian suddenly heard the heavy sound of iron chains again, and he looked in the direction of the sound.

The sound of the chains came from the black mist surrounding Wei Mengrou!

Whoosh!

A chain emerged from the black mist and silently bound Mu Zhian's right hand, while the other end of the chain tightly bound Wei Mengrou's left wrist.

Chains shrouded in black mist were wrapped around her snow-white wrists, her beautiful hair was loose, she raised her head, her gentle yet dark eyes gazing at Mu Zhian, and crystal tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

I want to see you so much.

A sweet, gentle, and pleasant voice suddenly rang in Mu Zhian's mind again.

"I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you... I've always loved you..."

The chains in the black mist kept clanging, as if more chains were about to emerge from the mist.

—To connect you and me forever, so that we will never be separated again.

That voice echoed repeatedly in Mu Zhian's mind, while the black mist surged around Wei Mengrou.
