It turns out, they were the main characters.

But Wei Mengrou's expression and reaction at this moment forced him to believe it.

"Are you Mengrou now, or the Primordial Witch...?" Mu Zhian asked with difficulty.

Wei Mengrou gazed at the boy in front of her, raised her fingertip, and gently touched Mu Zhian's lips. Then, under the staring gazes of everyone, she placed her other slender hand on his chest.

Then, she took another half step forward, pressing her voluptuous and alluring figure even closer to Mu Zhian.

The slender, jade-like finger that touched Mu Zhi'an's lips gently and gracefully traced his lips, while her gaze towards Mu Zhi'an was filled with a resentment she had never felt before.

"Whether it's her or me, aren't we the same person? Does it really matter who it is?"

At this point, she tilted her head slightly and said innocently, "Hmm...or is it that you like your sister Mengrou more than me?"

If it were just the two of them alone, Mu Zhian would probably choose 'I want them all,' but with so many people watching—Bai Ruoxi, the Ye sisters, her senior sister, and Fei Ying—Mu Zhian naturally had to maintain her composure.

Ultimately, the Wei Mengrou we see now isn't entirely the real her. If she were to recall this incident later, remembering how she did such a thing in front of so many people, she'd probably be mortified on the spot...

Looking at the Primordial Witch who displayed a completely different personality from Wei Mengrou, Mu Zhian was about to speak.

At that moment, a golden light flashed across the ground. Gu Boxing clutched his chest and transformed into a streak of light, hurtling toward the exit of the Martial World. His heart was pounding and his eyes were filled with fear.

If this were in the past, even if someone held a knife to his neck, he wouldn't believe that a female cultivator at the Refining Spirit Realm could be connected with the Primordial Demoness.

Is Wei Mengrou, the embodiment of misfortune, also the primordial witch?!

Such speculation terrified Gu Boxing. In the past, he often divined the secrets of heaven and had a general understanding of what would happen in the future. However, what was happening now was something he had not expected at all.

Ultimately, if he had acted decisively and captured Wei Mengrou, he might have been able to detect the presence of the Primordial Witch within her body immediately.

However, his first judgment was wrong... He mistakenly believed that Mu Zhi'an was cursed, and even took great risks to try to bring him back to the Great Qian Dynasty, which resulted in attracting the Demon Queen...

Even the Primordial Witch has now awakened from her slumber...

Recalling the bizarre abilities that the Primordial Witch had just displayed, Gu Boxing completely lost the will to fight and desperately rushed towards the exit of the Martial World.

The Primordial Witch did not pursue them. To her, a Void Returner was nothing more than an ant. She could settle scores later, and besides, her current physical condition did not allow her to do too much.

She looked up at the black mist in mid-air, as if she could see the demon queen within the mist.

Why did you help him?

Just moments ago she had a sweet smile on her face, but now the Primordial Witch seemed like a completely different person. Her indifferent expression and icy tone made it seem as if she had transformed from the Primordial Witch into Wei Mengrou.

The Demon Queen looked down at the boy on the ground, a slight smirk playing on her lips. A voice rang in the Primordial Witch's ear: "He's one of my men. Now that we've seen him, we can't just stand by and do nothing."

"Your people?" The Primordial Witch glanced at Mu Zhi'an casually, her soft and melodious voice saying, "Since when has the Queen of the Demon Realm become so concerned about a cultivator in the Refining Spirit Realm?"

“Besides…” she paused, then continued, “he’s not one of your people.”

Both of their voices resounded in this space using special magic, making it impossible for others to hear anything. However, Mu Zhian was right next to the Primordial Witch, so he naturally heard their conversation.

The Demon Queen's gaze fell directly on Mu Zhi'an, and then her lips curved into a bewitching and alluring smile.

Whether someone is on my side or not is not for you to decide.

"However, this time I was only doing this on someone else's behalf," the Demon Queen continued.

I was asked to do this...?

Mu Zhian's eyes flickered slightly as he heard a rather sensitive word.

The Demon Queen appeared in the Martial World because someone asked her to, and she helped Gu Boxing overcome his difficulties.

But that doesn't make sense either. He reloaded the save file nearly twenty times before finally managing to forcibly suppress Wei Mengrou's Heavenly Dao Qi within his own body.

It's impossible that the other party knew how many times he would reload his save file, and therefore made arrangements in advance so that the Demon Queen could make her move at the right time, right?

As these chaotic thoughts flashed through Mu Zhian's mind, he suddenly felt the black Heavenly Dao Qi in the Natural Furnace suddenly surge up, vaguely as if it was about to jump out of his body.

Mu Zhian's expression changed slightly. He immediately activated his spiritual energy and forcibly suppressed the black Heavenly Dao energy within his body.

Even so, his body still occasionally emitted a black glow.

The Demon Queen glanced at Mu Zhi'an and said, "It seems he's about to lose control of that Heavenly Dao Qi."

The Primordial Witch said softly, "I will guide the Heavenly Dao Qi out of his body."

The Heavenly Dao Qi that Wei Mengrou obtained was extremely special. Moreover, because it was barely suppressed within Mu Zhian's body, if the Heavenly Dao Qi were to remain hidden within Mu Zhian's body, he might be subjected to a second Heavenly Punishment by the Heavenly Dao.

"Let's go back to the Two Elements Sect first," the Primordial Witch continued.

Mu Zhian barely suppressed the aura of the Heavenly Dao, glanced at Bai Ruoxi and the others not far away, and then exchanged a deathly glance with the Primordial Witch before nodding slightly.

Because the previous tribulation of lightning had killed a number of cultivators, and some tokens were left behind in the tribulation, even if he could only get a little bit of points from each cultivator, he would have enough tokens from so many people to pass the martial world's assessment.

Moreover, Mu Zhian was more concerned about Wei Mengrou's current condition than the martial arts world's assessment.

The Demon Queen glanced deeply at the departing figures of the two, then raised her hand and waved, disappearing from the area amidst the black mist.

Huang Manting's identity cannot be revealed at this time.

The cultivators in the area finally breathed a sigh of relief after the group left.

Many cultivators only then noticed that their backs were already soaked with cold sweat.

The Grand Preceptor of the Great Qian Dynasty wanted to take away the body of misfortune, but was stopped by a mysterious powerful being. Moreover, after that, another being, who was suspected to be the reincarnation of a powerful being, took away Mu Zhi'an.

If this news gets out, most of Kyushu will probably be in an uproar.

Why would a cultivator at the Refining Spirit Realm attract the attention of three powerful figures?

In no time, the name Mu Zhian gradually spread throughout the martial arts world...

Bai Ruoxi gazed in the direction Mu Zhian had left, her gentle eyes filled with worry.

Ye Lingxuan's elegant and pure face remained calm, but when she gazed at the sky, a hint of worry still lingered in her eyes.

"Sister, let's get enough points as soon as possible, and then go back to Tianhe Garden to meet up," Ye Qian turned to her sister and asked.

If it were the Wei Mengrou of the past, she wouldn't be too worried.

But Mengrou is clearly acting strangely right now. Her intimate gestures towards Mu Zhian and the way she looks at him seem different from usual.

...This is something that makes people concerned.

……

Without a doubt, Mu Zhian really liked Wei Mengrou. Even when he was still a spoiled brat, he had been lusting after Mengrou's legs. However, whenever he got close to her, he would only be met with a disdainful glance from her.

Although Wei Mengrou's opinion of him changed later, she still didn't change her attitude towards Mu Zhian because she knew about her young master's fickle behavior.

However, Mu Zhian has never cared about this.

Rather, to him, the fact that someone like the maid was being looked at with such disdain, as if she were an insect, actually gave him a strange sense of excitement...

But today, their relationship seems much more ambiguous than before...

Tianhe Garden.

Wei Mengrou stood with her back to Mu Zhian, her yellow dress draped over her delicate body, outlining a slender and graceful silhouette.

Wei Mengrou hasn't said a word since she stepped into the room, and no one knows why.

"Sister Mengrou, are you now the Primordial Witch, or... yourself?"

Finally, Mu Zhian broke the silence.

He was somewhat concerned about what Wei Mengrou had just said to him in the martial arts world—whether it was the Primordial Witch who said it or Wei Mengrou herself.

Wei Mengrou turned her head slightly to look at her, and said expressionlessly, "She and I are the same person."

The problem is that your personalities are somewhat different… Mu Zhian hesitated and asked, “Were you serious about what you just said in the martial arts world?”

Mu Zhian was referring to what Wei Mengrou had told him not long ago to take full responsibility... In Mu Zhian's understanding, Wei Mengrou would never say such flirtatious things.

However, based on his past experiences with the girls around him, Mu Zhian learned a lesson: girls cannot be judged by common sense.

Sometimes, when deeply moved, it's not impossible to do things that are inconsistent with one's own personality.

However, Wei Mengrou simply tilted her head slightly: "What did you say?"

Her tone remained utterly indifferent throughout, but Mu Zhian clearly saw a faint hint of shyness hidden deep within her cold eyes.

Seeing this, Mu Zhian took two steps forward without making a sound, gently grasped Wei Mengrou's slightly cool and soft hand, and gazed at her tenderly with a sincere and affectionate look.

"Sister Mengrou, to be honest, what you just said really made me very happy."

As expected, Wei Mengrou's gaze involuntarily fell on Mu Zhian. She subconsciously tried to pull her hand out of his palm, but Mu Zhian held it tightly, as if afraid that she would disappear.

Although I had seen Mu Zhian use similar methods to have intimate interactions with other girls in the past, I still felt a little lost when it came to it myself.

Seeing this, Mu Zhian continued sincerely, "I know that Sister Mengrou is very disgusted with me because of my past misdeeds, but I am still very happy after hearing what you just said."

"After all, my feelings for you have never changed, whether in the past or now."

Wei Mengrou looked at him calmly and said indifferently, "How many people have you said this to?"

Mu Zhian shook his head: "I only told Sister Mengrou."

However, Wei Mengrou remained expressionless and sneered, "You only said that to me. You've probably said similar things to other girls, haven't you?"

As she spoke, she glanced again at the mottled black light emanating from Mu Zhian. In the depths of his usually cold eyes, there seemed to be a different kind of emotion that he had never shown before.

As Mu Zhi'an's maid, she was well aware of just how much of a womanizer her young master was, and she had even personally witnessed how Mu Zhi'an flirted with girls in the past.

Originally, Wei Mengrou thought that she should secretly protect Mu Zhian, but that she could never have any close relationship with him in this lifetime.

After all, she knew his personality perfectly well.

however……

Even if you truly understand someone, sometimes matters of the heart are beyond your control...

Looking at the mottled black light emanating from Mu Zhian, Wei Mengrou hesitated for a moment before asking, "How many times have you reset the time?"

The so-called time reset is the 'load save' that Mu Zhian used before.

After the primordial witch's obsession, which was hidden in Wei Mengrou's body, was awakened, Wei Mengrou also remembered everything that had happened in the martial arts world, including Mu Zhian's time reset.

After all, this ability was originally hers, and she knew it all too well.

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Not many times, but this ability seems quite fun."

Her smile appeared natural and gentle, but it felt as if someone had gently poked the soft spot in Wei Mengrou's heart. No matter how much she tried to maintain her past aloofness, her eyes still melted a little, like frost and snow under the sun.

The so-called 'fun' refers to constantly resetting time and then, with a weary mind, repeatedly trying to forcibly suppress her Heavenly Dao energy within her body...?

How could this possibly be something fun?
