It turns out, they were the main characters.

But now his smile looks as natural as ever, and he hasn't mentioned resetting time at all, as if he had just done something ordinary.

Looking at Mu Zhian's nonchalant smile, Wei Mengrou hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said, "What you just said..."

"I know that what happened just now was the primordial witch's personal behavior and has nothing to do with Sister Mengrou," Mu Zhian said with a smile.

He knew perfectly well that, given Wei Mengrou's personality, she would never take any initiative to be intimate, especially not in front of so many people.

Then, he suddenly asked, "If this Heavenly Dao Qi returns to your body, will it attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao again?"

Wei Mengrou slowly shook her head: "I've found a way to block out the secrets of heaven, so there's no problem for now."

Mu Zhian looked thoughtful and nodded slightly, saying, "Then I'll go prepare a medicinal bath. Once the spiritual energy has recovered somewhat, I'll force the Heavenly Dao Qi out of my cauldron."

Then, he took out a bottle of pills and handed it to Wei Mengrou: "You just expended a lot of energy, so replenish some of your spiritual power first. It might be another difficult battle when you refine the Heavenly Dao Qi later... After all, this Heavenly Dao Qi is a bit too unruly."

After Wei Mengrou accepted the pills, Mu Zhian turned around and prepared to leave the room to prepare a medicinal bath.

Just as he turned around, a pair of soft, full breasts suddenly pressed gently against his back, and then, soft, snow-white hands wrapped around his waist.

Mu Zhian's body froze instantly, and he was completely stunned.

Then, a very peculiar feeling surged into his heart in that instant. He slowly turned his head and saw Wei Mengrou raise her beautiful, flawless face. Her eyes held a strange light as she awkwardly said:

"Actually, what I just said in the martial arts world... wasn't entirely what the Primordial Witch meant."

After a slight pause, Wei Mengrou took a shallow breath and slowly exhaled, as if she was preparing something.

Then, as if making up her mind, she raised her eyelids and gazed into his eyes.

"...That's my idea too."

For the first time in his life, Mu Zhian's heart raced uncontrollably from being 'ambushed'. Gazing at the maid's elegant and aloof face, only one thought remained in his mind:

Why doesn't she play by the rules?

Chapter 286 Sister Mengrou, please

Mu Zhian had considered that he might be able to have a more advanced relationship with Wei Mengrou someday, but in his opinion, even if they were to have a more advanced relationship, it would definitely be something he would take the initiative to do.

After all, Wei Mengrou knew him too well.

From the time Mu Zhian's parents entrusted her with protecting his safety until now, Wei Mengrou has always been by his side, secretly protecting him from the shadows.

Wei Mengrou saw everything clearly in the darkness—her young master's scumbag behavior, his multi-tasking, and even his sweet words.

Because of this incident, Mu Zhian simply gave up. Since Wei Mengrou already knew him so well, there was no need to hide anything from the maids and young ladies.

Therefore, Wei Mengrou used to look at Mu Zhian with disdain, as if he were an insect.

Let alone getting close to her, even if I try to hold her hand or something, she will just avoid me.

However, the situation has now become somewhat delicate...

As Mu Zhi'an turned around, slender, pale hands wrapped around his waist, and he felt a full, soft pressure on his back, accompanied by a sweet and unique fragrance.

Seemingly noticing Mu Zhian's astonished gaze, Wei Mengrou lowered her eyes unintentionally and said in a somewhat awkward tone, "Could you...could you turn around first?"

When she saw Mu Zhian about to leave, she inexplicably hugged him and even blurted out what was on her mind... However, being stared at by Mu Zhian now made Wei Mengrou feel a little uncomfortable.

Mu Zhian gazed at Wei Mengrou, whose curled eyelashes trembled slightly, catching the candlelight. Her cold and beautiful face seemed to be tinged with a faint blush in the candlelight, exuding both cold elegance and an indescribable charm.

The stark contrast drew Mu Zhian's gaze involuntarily. He had seen this face countless times, yet he never seemed to tire of it... Moreover, the maid's usual aloofness and her current shy and charming reaction were even more captivating.

However, out of consideration for Wei Mengrou's feelings, Mu Zhian remained silent and then turned away as she asked, so as not to put too much psychological pressure on her.

An eerie silence fell over the room.

Finally, Mu Zhian spoke first: "What Sister Mengrou just said... is it true?"

Wei Mengrou gave a soft "Mmm".

Looking at Mu Zhi'an, who had his back to her, she slowly moved her slender, soft hand up his waist and finally placed it on his chest, as if to feel his heartbeat.

Even through a layer of clothing, Mu Zhian could almost feel a cool touch coming from his heart in his chest.

“Actually, I was quite surprised too. I never thought it would be you,” Wei Mengrou suddenly said.

Knowing Mu Zhi'an, his personality, his actions, and even who his female confidantes are... thinking that she knew all of this, she would definitely despise Mu Zhi'an... This was Wei Mengrou's thought before.

But as it turns out, when it comes to matters of the heart, knowing the other person's personality doesn't prevent you from falling for them.

Just like most people think they won't be seduced by bad women, in fact, bad women don't make themselves act like bad women... When faced with a bad woman who is several levels above them, if she takes the initiative to pursue them, in most cases they will unknowingly fall into the sweet love web she has woven.

In this world, Mu Zhi'an can be described as that 'bad woman'.

After all, she is the 'chosen heroine'.

However, he was sincere towards all the girls around him.

Wei Mengrou slightly raised her eyelids, looking at Mu Zhian's back with a conflicted expression in her eyes.

At this moment, Mu Zhian suddenly said, "Actually, I'm not that surprised."

Wei Mengrou was clearly taken aback, not understanding what he had suddenly said.

Mu Zhian repeated, "I'm not very surprised."

He grasped Wei Mengrou's soft little hand resting on his chest; the cool touch stirred his heart.

Then, under Wei Mengrou's helpless gaze, Mu Zhian turned around, grabbed her hand, raised his other hand and placed it on Wei Mengrou's cold and beautiful face, and whispered, "I have always felt that you will be more than just my maid."

"I've liked you ever since I first met Sister Mengrou."

However, Wei Mengrou seemed completely unmoved by these sweet words. She raised her eyes and asked, "What do you like about me?"

I thought Mu Zhian would be speechless for a moment, but to my surprise, he immediately replied, "I like everything."

Wei Mengrou pondered Mu Zhian's words, and the shyness in her eyes gradually faded, as if she had calmed down a bit. She asked, "To be more specific...?"

"Whether it's your nasty personality, your usual gaze, or the spiritual compatibility between us, I like it all," Mu Zhian said sincerely.

Then there's the identity of a maid, and the way she stares at me with disdain after putting on black and white stockings, as if I were an insect... Just thinking about it is exciting.

Of course, Mu Zhian wouldn't be so foolish as to say those words aloud.

Because the two were extremely close at the moment, and accompanied by the faint sweet fragrance, Mu Zhian's gaze involuntarily drifted down from Wei Mengrou's cold and beautiful face.

The yellow dress could hardly conceal her full and firm breasts. Her figure was perfectly proportioned, and the skirt accentuated her long, sexy legs, which were plump, firm, and elastic, and appeared even more smooth and white in the candlelight.

A hint of doubt flashed in Wei Mengrou's eyes at first, and then she followed Mu Zhian's gaze downwards.

Then, as if she understood something, Wei Mengrou raised her eyelids and looked at Mu Zhian, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of coldness.

"Your personality has never changed from beginning to end."

"There's nothing wrong with liking pretty girls, isn't there?" Mu Zhian didn't deny it.

"Besides, what I value most about Mengrou is not her appearance, but her inner qualities!"

When he said this, he spoke with righteous indignation, his tone filled with integrity.

Wei Mengrou glanced casually at her young master's gaze, which was fixed on her, and then gently lifted a corner of her skirt with her fingertips. Mu Zhian, as he spoke, found his gaze involuntarily drawn to her.

"Heh." Wei Mengrou immediately let out a cold laugh, her meaning clear without saying a word.

Mu Zhian smiled helplessly: "This is a normal reaction for a man. In the end, if your action just now didn't attract me, it's equivalent to denying your charm as a woman, right?"

Wei Mengrou's eyes flickered slightly, and she said quietly, "You're quite good at twisting logic."

And the key point is that she was completely unable to refute what was said.

At this moment, Mu Zhian's smile gradually faded, and he stared intently at Wei Mengrou, saying, "However, what I just said was all true."

"I've liked you ever since I met Sister Mengrou."

"So, whatever you said in the martial world today, whether it's due to the influence of the Primordial Witch or something else, I'm truly pleased..."

"Of course, the way you lifted your skirt just now was also great, it was very exciting to watch." Mu Zhian added, and couldn't help but glance at Wei Mengrou's long and sexy legs again. They were like white jade and elastic, reminding him of the scene after he made Wei Mengrou change into black and white stockings that day.

A faint blush quickly spread across Wei Mengrou's pretty face, but she maintained her usual indifference, looking at Mu Zhian with a sly smile, and said, "It seems I was right about you. You really are a nasty guy, completely useless except for your face."

"So Sister Mengrou also agrees that I'm handsome?" Mu Zhian asked in surprise.

Wei Mengrou: "..."

Having finished the jokes, Mu Zhian felt that the Heavenly Dao Qi within his body was almost uncontrollable, and said, "I can hardly suppress your Heavenly Dao Qi anymore. I need to prepare a medicinal bath to guide it out of my body later."

If not properly guided, that celestial energy might influence the Heavenly Dao, causing it to unleash divine punishment once again.

Mu Zhian wasn't so idle as to get struck by lightning.

However, before he could turn around, Wei Mengrou suddenly stepped forward. Mu Zhian subconsciously took a half step back, but there was a door right behind him, leaving him nowhere to retreat.

Under Mu Zhian's gaze, Wei Mengrou raised her slender and delicate hand and placed it on Mu Zhian's face.

Then, she took another half step closer, pressed her thigh against Mu Zhi'an's front, tilted her head slightly, and slowly pressed her soft, pink and glossy lips onto his lips.

Mu Zhian's gaze froze instantly, his mind went blank for a moment with a buzz.

For the first time in his life, Mu Zhian was bewildered and even stunned by someone else's confession or intimate gesture.

He couldn't believe that he had been forcibly kissed, and by the very maid who had previously despised him.

But soon, Mu Zhian snapped out of his daze and instinctively wrapped his arms around Wei Mengrou's slender waist, which was barely a handful. Her back was gracefully curved, revealing a hint of her fair skin. Her yellow dress tightly hugged her sexy and alluring body, making her incredibly tempting.

Mu Zhian gradually shifted from being passive to being proactive. In the end, no matter how proactive Wei Mengrou was, she was still a 'newbie'. She was not completely ignorant about relationships, but at least she had never experienced them firsthand, and even her kissing was awkward.

Mu Zhian guided her slowly, from initial probing to gradually becoming more unrestrained.

Soft breath gently landed on Mu Zhian's face. If the kiss with the maid before was just a fleeting moment, then Mu Zhian was now truly experiencing Wei Mengrou's kiss.

Contrary to her aloof appearance, her kisses were warm and sweet, creating a feeling that made one want to immerse oneself in her tenderness.

At this moment, Wei Mengrou suddenly opened her eyes and stared at Mu Zhian with a look of surprise.

But Mu Zhian pretended not to see it, placing one hand on the back of her head and feeling the aloof maid's kiss in a more proactive and gentle way.

Wei Mengrou's eyes flickered slightly, her translucent earlobes unconsciously felt a little hot, and she lowered her eyelids slightly, her eyes revealing a moist luster.

Time passed silently. When their lips parted, Mu Zhi'an was still savoring the lingering fragrance of Wei Mengrou's lips, while Wei Mengrou gently wiped her lips with a handkerchief, her eyes filled with deep longing as she looked at Mu Zhi'an.

Mu Zhian coughed lightly and said, "Sister Mengrou, this is just a very common thing when kissing..."

"Have you ever seen anyone who touches you all over during their first kiss?" Wei Mengrou said calmly, though a slight blush remained on her face, so she didn't look as aloof as usual.

She glanced at Mu Zhian and said quietly, "It seems my previous judgment was correct. You really are an extremely wicked and fickle insect."
