It turns out, they were the main characters.

Then, he extracted the Heavenly Dao Qi, and after using it to purify the spiritual energy, the surrounding spiritual energy gradually entered his body.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and the sky outside had already darkened.

The big trees in the yard rustled in the wind, their shadows swaying.

Bai Ruoxi slowly opened her eyes, changed into a white robe, had her maid light sandalwood incense, dismissed the servants, and was about to go to sleep.

Just then, she suddenly heard a slight commotion outside the window.

Bai Ruoxi immediately became alert and looked up, only to see a boy jump in through the window.

"Young Master Mu...?"

Bai Ruoxi subconsciously gripped the blanket in front of the bed, looked at Mu Zhian who had entered the room, and hesitated, "How did you get in...?"

"I told the two maids from earlier today that I was coming to see you, and they let me in," Mu Zhian said with a smile, while gazing at the beauty in the candlelight.

The eldest daughter of the Bai family sat in front of the bed, her figure graceful and her black hair contrasting with her white dress. Her skin appeared fair and delicate in the candlelight, giving her a sense of a fragile beauty.

Mu Zhian walked to the bedside and sat down, turning his head to look at the girl, and said, "You don't seem to be in a good mood. Did your father talk to you this afternoon and say something that made you unhappy?"

Bai Ruoxi's face showed hesitation, her heart was in turmoil, and she looked at Mu Zhian at times, and at other times she lowered her eyes.

Finally, she gently shook her head: "My dad didn't say anything that made me unhappy."

"What did they say that surprised you or made you uneasy?" Mu Zhian asked with a smile, changing the subject.

Bai Ruoxi was clearly taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously turned her head to look at him.

Looking at the smile on the boy's face and the concerned look in his eyes as he stared at her, she felt a gentle touch on the softest part of her heart.

Bai Ruoxi opened her mouth slightly and said, "Young Master Mu, I want to tell you something."

"My dad called me this afternoon and talked about my mom—"

Before he finished speaking, Mu Zhian placed his index finger on Bai Ruoxi's soft lips, a gentle smile as warm as a spring breeze on his face.

"Don't say anything, all you need to do now is sleep."

Bai Ruoxi gently brushed Mu Zhian's hand away and whispered, "But what I'm about to say might be very important to you—"

Mu Zhian waved his hand to interrupt: "It is very important, but you don't need to tell me."

“Someone will come to tell me soon,” he continued.

These words sounded as if he already knew something... Bai Ruoxi raised her head, looked at Mu Zhian with a conflicted expression, and asked, "Is there anything I can do?"

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment, then asked sincerely, "Can I sleep in your room tonight?"

Bai Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously gripped the hem of her clothes.

Isn't this progressing a little too fast...? And with so much happening today, she's not in the mood to do anything at all.

She seemed to be overthinking things... Mu Zhian understood the meaning behind Bai Ruoxi's reaction and explained, "If you wander around outside the Bai residence, you're likely to be discovered, but if you stay in Miss Bai's room, no one will guess."

"Is that alright?" Mu Zhian asked.

Had I misunderstood him...? Bai Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded gently, saying, "That's fine... but why stay at the Bai family home tonight?"

"She actually agreed... I could trick this young lady into bed more than ten times..." Mu Zhian deliberately kept her in suspense, saying, "You'll find out tonight."

Bai Ruoxi didn't press further, but simply nodded and asked, "Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Actually, Bai Ruoxi wasn't naive or innocent; it's just that her time together had led her to unconditionally trust Mu Zhi'an. If he wanted to suppress the Bai family, he could have done so long ago, but he never did.

Mu Zhian sized up the eldest daughter of the Bai family. In modern terms, she would probably be considered a mature and sophisticated woman. She had a round face, a cool and aloof expression, and a huge heart. She was polite to everyone, but she was also difficult to approach.

"There's one more thing, and only you can do it," Mu Zhian said earnestly.

Bai Ruoxi looked at him curiously: "What is it?"

"I want to try what it tastes like without rouge," Mu Zhian said with a serious expression.

Bai Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, and then she saw Mu Zhian pressing her shoulder and gently letting her lean against the bed behind her.

"Ugh..." Bai Ruoxi was about to speak when her mouth was covered, and she could only let out a small sob.

Her beautiful hair was spread out on the bed, her bright eyes staring straight at the face so close to hers. Feeling the warmth of the hand gently holding her small hand, her gaze gradually became hazy, and she finally gave up resisting.

However, she suddenly began to wonder whether Mu Zhian was there to do something important... or something bad.

Chapter 50 Madam Bai is on the fifth floor 4K

Mu Zhian sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, absorbing the spiritual energy purified by the Heavenly Dao while waiting for night to fall.

It's no wonder that this product was left behind by a powerful being who had ascended to immortality. The enhancement brought by the Heavenly Dao Qi is ridiculously strong. No wonder the protagonists who got cheat codes are all incredibly powerful.

It's a pity that if you want to speed up your cultivation, you can only do so by Bai Ruoxi's side... After all, this thing recognizes its master and will not leave its master's side, and it will only purify the spiritual energy of its master.

Moreover, due to the enhancement of the Heavenly Dao Qi, Bai Ruoxi's speed of absorbing spiritual energy is still much, much faster than his.

If things continue like this, Bai Ruoxi may reach the peak of Qi Refining in no time.

However, she will likely be stuck at the peak of Qi Refining for a year or two after that.

The advancement from Qi Refining Realm to Spirit Refining Realm is not solely achieved by accumulating spiritual energy within the cauldron; it also requires personal enlightenment.

Everyone's understanding of the Refining Spirit Realm is different.

Wei Mengrou's cultivation of spirit was related to her childhood experiences. Therefore, after entering the realm of spirit cultivation, she possessed the ability to conceal her aura, making it difficult for enemies of the same level to find her.

Master Ren's Refining Spirit Realm allows him to imprison the primordial spirit of others, but that primordial spirit is not a living being, but merely a wisp of remnant soul.

As for Mu Zhian himself... he's not in a hurry, nor can he be.

After all, he's a "good-for-nothing young master." He's wasted so much time in the past, it won't be easy for him to make up for it.

However, ever since Bai Ruoxi activated the "Bronze Sword" that day, Mu Zhian began to have doubts about something.

—Is Ye Yu the main character, or is Bai Ruoxi the main character?

Or perhaps... after eliminating Ye Yu, the "protagonist," the "protagonist" has changed, from Ye Yu to Bai Ruoxi?

Well... anyway, the protagonist is still better than that "genius" young master from the Ye family... after all, Miss Bai is on his side.

Moreover, rouge tastes good too.

Mu Zhian regulated his breathing and slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, Bai Ruoxi seemed to have fallen asleep. She lay in the dim light, her graceful figure covered by a thin blanket. The slightly raised curve of the blanket revealed the vastness of the young girl's heart, and in the dim light, one could vaguely see some of her snow-white skin.

Mu Zhian glanced at it a couple more times, then looked away and quietly pushed open the door.

Just before Bai Ruoxi rested, he had her use the power of the Heavenly Dao to purify the surrounding spiritual energy. The pure spiritual energy has not yet completely disappeared.

Similarly... the demonic aura has not completely disappeared.

Mu Zhian raised his head slightly and saw the demonic energy rising from a small house in mid-air. He quietly walked over.

Just like last time, he hid in the corner by the window of the house.

After waiting patiently for nearly an hour, the door was quietly pushed open.

Mu Zhian held his breath and watched as a voluptuous woman stepped across the threshold and out of the room.

It was late at night, but she was dressed rather lightly, with some makeup on her face. She walked gracefully in the Bai family's courtyard, her slender waist swaying from side to side with each step.

"Madam Bai, it's so late, where are you going?" Mu Zhian suddenly asked.

The sudden sound made Bai Yuanfeng's body stiffen slightly, her steps faltering as she slowly turned her head.

When she saw the boy hiding in the shadows, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Young Master Mu...when did you arrive at the Bai family's residence?!"

"I had someone use a secret technique so that as long as I don't intend to kill you, you won't notice me," Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Wei Mengrou's Refining Spirit Realm abilities are very useful, but only if she doesn't harbor murderous intent towards the target she's tracking.

However, Mu Zhian did not have any intention to kill Madam Bai.

Bai Yuanfeng's eyes flickered slightly, and soon, a charming smile appeared on the beautiful woman's face. She said, "Young Master Mu, why are you sneaking into my Bai residence in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? Are you here to see my daughter?"

She walked gracefully towards Mu Zhi'an and finally stood before him.

Bai Yuanfeng continued, "Girls don't like being harassed in the middle of the night, so it's better to be careful, okay?"

Mu Zhian smiled and said, "I was in Ruoxi's room the whole time."

Bai Yuanfeng's smile froze.

After a long silence, she said softly, "I still approve of your marriage with Ruoxi. If you don't mind, I will help you in the future."

"Is it to plant spies in the Mu family, or to prevent your daughter from being implicated after the truth about you being a demon cultivator is exposed?" Mu Zhi'an asked with a smile.

A hint of coldness appeared in Bai Yuanfeng's charming and affectionate eyes.

Mu Zhian calmly explained, "Calm down, Ruoxi and I were just chatting in the room."

The underlying meaning of this statement is: I might be your future son-in-law; think it over before you act.

Bai Yuanfeng stopped laughing. "You really have a lot of nerve to say things like that in front of someone else's mother."

"We truly love each other," Mu Zhian said earnestly.

"How many people in the entire Tianxuan City don't truly love my daughter?" Bai Yuanfeng snorted.

"How about we find a place to sit down and talk?" Mu Zhian asked tentatively.

"Let's talk here. There's no one else around," Bai Yuanfeng sighed softly.

"Ask whatever you want to ask. You've been hiding here, waiting for me to come out, haven't you?"

Mu Zhian nodded slightly and asked, "Where is the Meridian Opening Pill?"

“You should have heard it from my daughter.” Bai Yuanfeng narrowed her eyes, her voice soft and sweet: “I gave it to Gongsun Xiong.”

Mu Zhian frowned and said, "Gongsun Xiong cannot die yet."

"Why?" Bai Yuanfeng feigned ignorance, but stared intently at Mu Zhian.

She wanted to test Mu Zhian to see just how smart the young man who was likely to become her future son-in-law really was.

“With his death, the Gongsun family will immediately put forward a new patriarch. The Bai family is too big to swallow up the Gongsun family,” Mu Zhian said.

Bai Yuanfeng smiled gently and said softly, "Who told you that I was going to murder Gongsun Xiong?"
