It turns out, they were the main characters.

And she even called me Mulang... He was filled with so much grumbling he didn't know where to begin.

Wei Mengrou stood not far away, staring at the dark figure, her heart filled with confusion.

"You have your own consciousness?" Mu Zhian couldn't help but ask.

The Primordial Witch spoke softly: "I am only dead, but my spirit remains, and I have been summoned by the Soul Summoning Spell to descend."

Upon hearing this, Gu Boxing looked up at the slender, dark figure with an excited expression and said, "Primordial Witch, it was I, not Mu Zhian, who summoned you. If we go to the World Sea in the future, I will do everything in my power to bring you back to life. So now, please stop the Queen of the Demon Realm—"

However, the Primordial Witch seemed unmoved, her clear and calm voice slowly echoing in the hall.

"You are the one who summoned me, but he is the medium through which I did so."

As she finished speaking, her gaze gently fell upon Mu Zhian.

The Demon Queen narrowed her beautiful eyes, pondering the words of the Primordial Witch.

Mu Zhian was also slightly taken aback, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

In summoning the Primordial Witch, Gu Boxing sacrificed 70% of his spiritual energy and permanently lost 20% of it, a loss he witnessed firsthand.

But what is this medium?

Gu Boxing, who was not far away, was also stunned.

His eyes flickered slightly, as if he was pondering the words of the Primordial Witch.

The medium for summoning the Primordial Witch is Mu Zhian...?

At this moment, Gu Boxing's mind flashed rapidly, recalling everything that had happened before.

To summon a powerful being using the Soul Summoning Spell, two major prerequisites are required.

First, it requires a large amount of spiritual energy to be offered as a sacrifice; second, it requires having received some kind of divine favor from that powerful being.

The so-called 'medium' refers to Gu Boxing himself.

Logically, both steps should be correct...

“I decide the medium I choose,” the Primordial Witch said softly.

The moment those words were spoken, Gu Boxing's pupils contracted sharply, as if he had thought of something, and he gasped.

He slowly raised his head, staring intently at Mu Zhi'an: "He once received some divine favor left behind by a primordial witch, and this divine favor is far greater than what I received, so that's why you used him as a medium to descend?!"

"...How is that possible?" His tone was filled with disbelief.

"The cultivation techniques I practice, and all the opportunities I have for immortality, were obtained in the World Sea in the past. What right does someone who has never been to the World Sea have?!"

The Primordial Witch glanced at Gu Boxing slightly, but said nothing.

From the very beginning, Mu Zhian did not need to obtain any celestial affinity from the Primordial Witch, because she herself was Mu Zhian's greatest celestial affinity.

They have been Daoist partners since the past... and Mu Zhian himself is a medium!

Click.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the ground, and then more and more cracks appeared, densely packed like a spider web.

A black shadow emerged from the crack in the ground, and then more and more shadows silently seeped out from the crack, slowly enveloping Gu Boxin's location.

"How is this possible... how is this possible?! The Primordial Witch chose him as her medium, yet she devoured my spiritual energy. How could she?!"

Gu Boxing knelt on the ground, muttering to himself like a devout believer, watching helplessly as the black shadow formed a giant net that enveloped him.

Even until the very end, he couldn't believe it. In his view, this was an operation with a very high chance of success. Even when the demon queen's wisp of consciousness appeared, he was still confident that he could take away the body of misfortune.

but--

The powerful being he had summoned obeyed Mu Zhi'an's words... simply because of Mu Zhi'an's shout.

A giant black net completely enveloped and bound Gu Boxing, causing his spiritual energy to drain away rapidly.

But the fear in Gu Boxing's eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a kind of fanaticism... a fanaticism for power.

The Primordial Witch's abilities are bizarre and varied, powerful and dazzling. In her past memories, the only person who was proficient in several abilities at the same time and could deduce the secrets of heaven and predict the future was the sect leader of the Two Elements Sect.

“The Primordial Witch…” Gu Boxing slowly knelt down, the giant black net quietly dissolving into the ground, and the spiritual consciousness of the Great Qian National Preceptor completely dissipated into the air.

……

The main hall was in a mess. A black phantom stood silently in front of Mu Zhi'an. Even now, Mu Zhi'an could not see her face. She could only feel the terrifying aura emanating from her.

"At first I thought Gu Boxing was a bad guy, but I didn't expect his backstory to be so heartwarming..." Mu Zhian thought to himself.

In modern times, the title might go something like this: "The Grand Preceptor of the Great Qian Dynasty is willing to permanently sacrifice 20% of his spiritual energy to take Wei Mengrou away, but the story behind it is heartwarming."

I wonder what Gu Boxing would think if he heard this.

He summoned the Primordial Witch after consuming a large amount of spiritual energy and paying a huge price, only to find out that she was Mu Zhi'an's Daoist partner from the very beginning...

If one doesn't have a strong enough self-regulation ability, they will probably get so angry that they vomit blood every time they think about this matter during their future cultivation.

At this moment, the shadow of the Primordial Witch suddenly twisted slightly, and then transformed into a shadow that quietly entered Wei Mengrou's body.

Within Wei Mengrou's cauldron, the primordial witch's obsession was quietly enveloped by this dark figure.

Wei Mengrou seemed to realize something, closed her eyes slightly, and used her spiritual sense to scan the obsession within the cauldron.

Soon, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Mu Zhian asked.

Wei Mengrou looked up at him: "My other obsession is being nurtured by that spiritual consciousness just now, so there is no risk of it disappearing."

"Is it thanks to the primordial witch that was just summoned?" Mu Zhian asked thoughtfully.

However, it is unknown how Gu Boxing summoned the Primordial Witch. The Primordial Witch's true form is Wei Mengrou, so how did Gu Boxing summon another Primordial Witch?

As if knowing what Mu Zhian was thinking, the Demon Queen's bewitching eyes gleamed with a seductive light: "The primordial witch in your maid's cauldron was originally just an obsession, and what Gu Boxing just summoned was probably the spirit of that obsession, or rather, its 'shell'."

If the original primordial witch's obsession within Wei Mengrou's body could disappear at any moment, then with the spiritual consciousness that Gu Boxing had previously summoned giving the obsession a 'body,' the primordial witch's obsession is no longer in danger of disappearing.

The Primordial Witch is now a true individual, just like Gong Lianyue, who is hidden in Bai Ruoxi's body, and is a spirit with self-awareness.

After sorting everything out, Mu Zhian's tense body gradually relaxed, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"When did you meet the Primordial Witch?" the Demon Queen suddenly asked.

Her gaze inadvertently swept over Mu Zhian: "The way she addressed you just now was quite interesting."

Mu Zhian looked back at the Demon Queen and had to admit that she was indeed an extremely beautiful woman. She had stood in the world for ten thousand years and her beauty remained unchanged. Although she did not have the innocence of a young girl, her mature and bewitching charm was incomparable to that of a young girl.

This is why Mu Zhian has always liked mature, sexy women; they are also... wealthy.

"Your Majesty may not believe me, but I have no memory of the Primordial Witch." Mu Zhi'an shook his head helplessly.

His gaze then fell on the maidservant dressed in a yellow dress, whose simple attire yet captivating and sexy figure, and he said, "However, I think Your Majesty should also know something about Sister Mengrou."

Wei Mengrou is the Primordial Witch, a fact that the Demon Queen should have known when she was in the Martial Realm.

At that time in the martial arts world, Wei Mengrou was provoked by the Demon Queen and took Mu Zhi'an from her.

The power to influence time... Among the people Mu Zhian knows, there are only two: one is the Lock of Desolate Time in Ye Lingxuan's possession, and the other is Wei Mengrou.

The Demon Queen glanced at Wei Mengrou, as if looking through her body at a certain being within her cauldron, before withdrawing her gaze.

Seeing that she was no longer dwelling on the matter, Mu Zhian sincerely thanked her: "Thank you very much for Your Majesty's help this time. If it weren't for you, Mengrou and I would probably be in grave danger this time."

If the Demon Queen hadn't intervened, Gu Boxing wouldn't have been able to summon the Primordial Witch, and none of the subsequent events would have occurred.

The Demon Queen looked at Mu Zhi'an with amusement: "Among the people I know, you are the first one who dares to use me."

Mu Zhian replied calmly, "Your Majesty misunderstands. I just felt that handing Mengrou over to the people of the Great Qian Dynasty would not be a good thing for the demon realm, so I wanted to report to you immediately."

The Demon Queen raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Mu Zhi'an.

In the past, she would have appreciated the other person's humble and respectful attitude towards her, but now... she only felt annoyed by this sense of unfamiliarity.

However... thinking about it carefully, it doesn't really matter.

If in the future, after I finish my seclusion, Mu Zhi'an comes to the demon realm, and amidst this unfamiliarity and awe, I order him to lie down obediently, and then, under his bewildered yet expectant gaze... I lick the cake that someone has been protecting clean, bite by bite.

Then, tell him the truth.

Tell him about what happened in the past, and... their story.

Does doing this seem quite interesting?

The Demon Queen licked her red lips and looked at Mu Zhi'an with a smile: "I came straight here to save you without even dealing with the affairs of the Demon Realm. Don't you have anything to say?"

Mu Zhian raised his hand in a bow and said sincerely, "I will never forget this kindness. If there is anything I can do in the future, I will do my best to help."

The tall and slender demon queen gave him a meaningful look and said quietly, "You will soon have the opportunity to repay me."

However, this might not happen quickly; at the earliest, it could take at least six months...

She needs to refine the essence of the first Demon Emperor before she can leave the Northern Continent.

The shattered buildings in the main hall began to repair themselves. Seeing this, Mu Zhian quickly collected his thoughts and sincerely expressed his gratitude to the Demon Queen once again. Then, seeing that the time was right, he took his leave.

After this incident, his impression of the Demon Queen changed significantly. He could feel that the Demon Queen truly valued him; otherwise, she wouldn't have acted so decisively this time.

……

Having left the world in the bronze mirror, Mu Zhian opened his eyes and turned his head to see Wei Mengrou curled up beside him.

It was already 11:45 PM, and the night was quiet. Wei Mengrou seemed to have woken up a little later than him, and her eyes were closed, as if she was still dreaming.

It's a pity there are no maid dresses in this era, otherwise I think Sister Mengrou would be very suitable... Mu Zhian thought to himself, but his hand was placed on her slender waist without any politeness, feeling the softness of the sleeping beauty's body.

Wei Mengrou slowly awoke from her deep sleep, turning her head to look at Mu Zhian with a bewildered expression.

"Sister Mengrou, how are you feeling? Are you having any trouble adjusting?" Mu Zhian asked with concern, gently putting his arm around Wei Mengrou's waist.

Young Master Mu is a man of courage and boldness, so even while chatting with her, he has already begun to strive for the highest peak.

Wei Mengrou finally came to her senses, glared at him with her clear, deep eyes, gently slapped his paw away, and broke free from his embrace.

She lowered her head and gently straightened her disheveled clothes, glanced at him, and said, "It's alright."

Mu Zhian looked up and met her gaze, his expression tentative: "Then... how about we continue?"

After this, it's unlikely that any foreign enemy will dare to set foot in Tianhe Garden for a short period of time, so he can naturally feel at ease.

As soon as a person feels at ease, they start to think about sex.

The reason Mu Zhian couldn't go all the way with Wei Mengrou earlier was because he had strong self-control, but now that the problem has been solved, he has no more worries.
