It turns out, they were the main characters.

"Insects are going too far...?" Mu Zhian said with a wry smile.

But hearing the word 'insect' from Sister Mengrou's mouth is a bit annoying... I feel like I want her to keep scolding me. Do I have some strange fetish...? Mu Zhian thought to himself.

Wei Mengrou stared at Mu Zhian, her eyes flickering slightly. After hesitating for a long time, she said in a low voice, "However... what I just said is also true."

“What…?” Mu Zhian asked.

Wei Mengrou let out a soft breath, then raised her eyelids and looked directly at Mu Zhian: "Even with your terrible personality... I still like you."

"..."

The atmosphere inexplicably fell silent.

After what seemed like an eternity, Mu Zhian finally let out a slow breath, looked up at Wei Mengrou, and smiled, "Mengrou, do you have to be so alluring?"

Even a seasoned player like Mu Zhian, who had been navigating the world of women for many years, couldn't help but feel his heart flutter in the face of Wei Mengrou's advances, and longed to hold her in his arms again and feel the warmth of her body.

He looked up at the maid in the yellow dress before him and continued, "If you continue like this... I can't guarantee you'll remain rational."

Wei Mengrou asked in confusion, "Why do we need to stay rational?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhian immediately stepped forward and tried to embrace Wei Mengrou.

But at this moment, the Heavenly Dao Qi within his body suddenly began to stir, as if it were about to explode from his cauldron at any moment, causing Mu Zhi'an's movements to freeze in place.

"It's a real shame, it seems there's nothing we can do today," Wei Mengrou said to Mu Zhian with a faint smile in her eyes.

"You knew all along, so you were just playing a trick on me, weren't you?" Mu Zhian said helplessly.

If we don't deal with the Heavenly Qi now, it won't be fun if Heavenly Punishment comes down again later.

Only Wei Mengrou can control this Heavenly Dao Qi. Although Mu Zhian managed to suppress it, he couldn't suppress it for very long.

If it is not slowly guided out, his cauldron may develop problems later.

At this moment, Wei Mengrou suddenly said, "You don't need to prepare a medicinal bath. Guiding out the Heavenly Dao Qi requires spiritual energy, but it has a strong affinity with me. If I guide it, it will quickly leave your cauldron obediently."

Mu Zhian was slightly surprised: "You can do it like this... How do I do it?"

If he were to use his own method to draw the Heavenly Dao Qi out of the cauldron, it would probably take at least two or three days.

If possible, it would be better for Wei Mengrou to guide them.

After all, she was the original owner of this Heavenly Dao Qi.

Wei Mengrou hesitated for a moment, her eyes flickering slightly, and said, "As long as the spiritual energy in your innate furnace is not in a state of abundance, I will naturally have a way to guide out the Heavenly Dao Qi."

“If the spiritual energy of the innate furnace is not in a state of abundance, then unless…” Mu Zhian seemed to have thought of something and subconsciously looked at the aloof maid in the yellow dress.

"Does Sister Mengrou mean...?"

At that moment, Mu Zhian had even thought of a name for his child.

"It's not as exaggerated as you think. As long as some of the spiritual energy is lost, it's fine. It's still different from dual cultivation," Wei Mengrou explained, though her cheeks were flushed as if she were drunk.

It's not dual cultivation, but some of the spiritual energy is lost... Hmm, does that mean it's self-directed and self-acted?

"I don't have much experience in this area. Can Sister Mengrou help me?" Mu Zhian asked humbly.

Thinking about it, compared to my own hands, Mengrou's little hands are definitely better.

A hint of shyness flickered in Wei Mengrou's eyes, but she quickly suppressed her emotions.

Then, under Mu Zhian's expectant gaze, he nodded slightly.

However, Mu Zhian suddenly thought of something and tentatively asked, "Or is there another way?"

"What method?" Wei Mengrou's eyes also showed a hint of hostility towards Mu Zhian's insatiable face.

"Do you remember the thermal stockings I gave you last time?" Mu Zhian asked.

“That’s possible…” he whispered something to Wei Mengrou.

As she finished speaking, Wei Mengrou's gaze towards Mu Zhian took on a deeper, colder edge.

She pursed her lips slightly, and soon a faint smile appeared on her lips as she said softly, "I thought you were joking before, but it turns out you really enjoy being looked down upon?"

"Only for Sister Mengrou," Mu Zhian added.

“Turn your head around, and don’t turn back unless I tell you to,” Wei Mengrou suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhian felt a surge of anticipation, knowing that Wei Mengrou had already agreed.

It was definitely the right decision to muster the courage to ask about this!

This trip to the martial arts world was an absolute steal!

If Mu Zhian's spirit was exhausted and he was on the verge of fainting when he was constantly reloading save files, he is now completely full of energy thanks to Wei Mengrou's words.

He turned away, no longer looking at Wei Mengrou.

Soon, a soft sound of fabric rubbing against skin came from behind. Mu Zhian resisted the urge to turn around, avoiding angering Wei Mengrou and making her feel embarrassed and angry.

After an unknown amount of time, a clear, melodious voice suddenly came from behind: "Okay, all done."

Compared to her usual aloofness, her voice seemed to carry a hint of shame.

Mu Zhian subconsciously turned his head and saw a maid in a yellow dress come into view.

Her long, flowing hair cascaded down her back, framing her flawless, oval face. Her eyes, bright and captivating like autumn water, held a cool and aloof expression tinged with a faint blush, making her radiant with every glance.

Beneath the skirt, her long, jade-like legs were encased in silky white and black stockings, respectively, creating a perfect boundary between the skirt and her thighs. The stockings left a shallow mark on her smooth, supple, and elastic thighs.

Seemingly noticing that Mu Zhian's gaze had never left her, Wei Mengrou smiled and approached him with alluring footsteps, looking up into his eyes.

"Does being bullied by your own maid excite you? Is it because your fetish is too strange, or...?"

Wei Mengrou tilted her head slightly, leaned close to Mu Zhian's ear, and whispered in a captivating voice:

"Are you a pervert yourself?"

For a moment, it was impossible to tell whether she was Wei Mengrou or the Primordial Witch.

Chapter 287 "They are participating in the martial arts assessment"

boom!

In the martial world, the Desolate Time Lock behind Ye Lingxuan transformed into a golden stream of light, flashing straight towards the cultivator's throat.

Under the astonished gaze of the cultivator, Ye Lingxuan revealed an elegant and charming smile: "I'm sorry, but it's better to hand over the points as soon as possible to avoid suffering. I'm in a hurry."

Faced with the threat from this forbidden zone saintess, no matter how unwilling he was, the cultivator could only take out his token and hand over a point of points to Ye Lingxuan.

Meanwhile, similar scenes are unfolding across the martial arts world...

Unlike Ye Lingxuan and the others, Lan Mulian's situation was the most special. Wherever she went, cultivators would avoid her to prevent any conflict.

Everyone in the competition knows that Lan Mulian is the number one genius of the Liangyi Sect, and has even achieved the Refinement of Spirit and Return to Emptiness after more than 20 years of cultivation.

Even though the martial arts world restricted her cultivation, her skills and talent in combat experience were something most cultivators were unwilling to face.

However, Lan Mulian's state was clearly different from before. If it were before, she would probably randomly 'spar' with someone, and collect the opponent's points after winning the match.

But today, whether she was busy passing the martial arts assessment or something else, she had already made several moves in a row, and each time she swiftly and decisively ended the battle.

Any cultivator who encounters Lan Mulian can only consider themselves unlucky.

Some cultivators who were unaware of the truth were secretly crying out in despair, wondering who had angered this Senior Sister Lan, as she hadn't been this terrifying before.

……

Whoosh!

Bai Ruoxi's palace dress fluttered in the wind and snow, her temperament seemingly blending with the frost and snow, exuding an unapproachable awe-inspiring presence. The golden light sword behind her split into nine.

She took out a token from her bosom and looked at the points displayed on it; she already had a full seven points.

"In that case, Sister Ruoxi only needs three more points to pass the martial arts world's assessment, right?" Ye Qian said softly, looking at the beautiful woman beside her with a full bust, slender waist, and graceful figure.

Every so often, cultivators in the martial world are randomly transferred to another region. Shortly after Gu Boxing fled in a sorry state, Bai Ruoxi was randomly transferred to another region and happened to run into Ye Qian.

Although worried about Mu Zhian's situation, Bai Ruoxi knew that even if she were by his side now, she couldn't help him much. Rather than that, she would rather pass the martial arts assessment as soon as possible and go to Tianhe Garden to see what the situation was.

"I wonder how things are going on with Brother Mu." Ye Qian looked up in the direction of the Liangyi Sect, her eyes filled with worry.

Bai Ruoxi gently comforted him, "Mu Lang always acts with discretion. Although he has only managed to suppress the Heavenly Dao Qi within his body, he will surely find a way to resolve it. All we can do is return to Tianhe Garden as soon as possible to find him."

Despite saying that, there was still a hint of disappointment in the eyes of this former beauty of Tianxuan City.

Although Bai Ruoxi is now a peerless figure, the actions of the Grand Preceptor of the Great Qian Dynasty made her realize that their enemies are not limited to the 'Refining God Realm'.

Moreover, judging from recent signs, Mu Lang's relationship with Senior Qingdi seems to be a bit off... If he really has to fight against that kind of fairy in the future, he won't be able to do it without being at the same level.

Only by returning to the Void Realm as soon as possible and allowing the other spiritual consciousness to awaken can she have the means to keep Mu Lang by her side.

At that time, she will be able to eliminate anyone, whether it be someone like Gu Boxing who harbors malicious intentions or Yao Meng, the fairy who seems to have 'ulterior motives' towards Mu Lang.

Bai Ruoxi let out a soft breath, looked up and gazed in the direction of the Liangyi Sect, her eyes burning with an unprecedented fighting spirit.

……

While disciples in the martial arts world were fiercely vying for spots in the Ascension Conference, Tianhe Garden was quite relaxed, with an ambiguous atmosphere.

Mu Zhian dared to guarantee that he had absolutely no strange hobbies.

But for some reason, facing the maid's sharp tongue and even her slightly provocative gaze, he felt no discomfort whatsoever. Instead, a strange feeling of 'pleasure' welled up inside him.

Even when Wei Mengrou called him a 'pervert' just now, he was still a little tempted.

Could it be that there's something wrong with me...? Even Mu Zhian couldn't help but start to doubt himself.

It's no wonder, really. Her soft voice, full of allure yet tinged with disdain, combined with her status as a maid and the captivating eyes fixed on Mu Zhi'an, made even her sharp tongue towards her master feel like a reward.

At least Mu Zhian felt an indescribable sense of excitement at that moment.

However, Mu Zhian naturally didn't want to expose too many of his weaknesses in front of his own maid... although his weaknesses were now so agitated by Wei Mengrou's close proximity that he wanted to defect to the enemy.

Mu Zhian tried to maintain his usual composure, shaking his head and smiling, "Sister Mengrou, as I just said, it's not that I have a problem... it's just that you were the one who spoke up."

He paused, looking at Wei Mengrou's beautiful face with a faint blush, and smiled, "Also... it's better not to do things that force yourself too much."

Clearly, the maid's behavior exceeded her own sense of shame, and even if influenced by the primordial witch's personality, she was merely putting on a brave face.

Wei Mengrou tilted her head slightly, her bright and charming eyes fixed on him, instantly seeing through Mu Zhian's true face beneath his smile: "Are you shy?"

As expected of her long-time personal maid, Wei Mengrou knew exactly what Mu Zhi'an meant by every smile and when he was lying.
