It turns out, they were the main characters.

Faced with Xue Yi's gentle gaze, Mu Zhi'an feigned panic and looked away, lowering his eyes and remaining silent.

Xueyi's lips curled into a faint smile, and she suddenly said, "I have limited time to show myself today, so I'll go meditate and rest first."

He glanced at the empty teacup on the table and casually remarked, "It seems we're out of tea. Why don't you have someone refill it?"

After saying that, Xueyi quietly returned to her storage ring.

Lan Feiying glanced at Mu Zhian, then smiled and nodded: "I still have some things to talk about with Brother Mu, so let's go get some more tea."

She lifted the veil and walked away with sexy steps.

Mu Zhian closed his eyes slightly, digesting the enormous amount of information.

Lan Feiying is the chosen one selected by Heaven, and she can even plunder the fortune of others...

But the fact that she brought it up with me on her own initiative at least shows that she has no hostility... After all, Fei Ying is the older sister I've always trusted back in Tianxuan City.

But Heaven isn't stupid; how could it possibly choose a chosen one who happens to be so friendly to me?

Could it be that she's trying to seduce me?

Hmph, you're underestimating me too much... If I weren't wearing fishnet stockings and high heels, I would never be seduced!

The storage ring on the table suddenly lit up with a faint light, and then the slender figure of a mature and dignified woman appeared in sight.

Mu Zhian opened his eyes and asked in surprise, "Senior Xueyi? Is there anything else? Sister Feiying hasn't returned yet."

The fourth pillar god of the Southern Wilderness, with a worried expression on his round and dignified face, sighed softly: "Although I was fortunate enough to escape from the Abyss Palace, I am ultimately just a weak spiritual consciousness, which may dissipate into the world at any time."

"If I can't find the body I prepared back in the Southern Wilderness, I'm afraid I won't last much longer."

Mu Zhian was slightly taken aback: "That Jiyuan can actually trap even a powerhouse at the Dao Integration Realm?"

Xue Yi said softly, "The formations in the Abyss are numerous and complex. Often, a single formation contains thousands of arrays. Back then, in order to seek a way to break through to the Dao Integration stage, I risked entering the Abyss, but unexpectedly, I was trapped by the formation of the person in the coffin."

"If it weren't for you and Ye Yu and the others coming, I'm afraid I would still be trapped here."

Mu Zhian asked curiously, "Does Senior know who the person in the coffin is?"

Sheryl slowly shook her head: "I have never seen the other person."

The tall and slender goddess of the Southern Wilderness sat down lightly beside Mu Zhi'an. She wore a bewitching red dress with a fur cloak over it. Although she was dressed seductively, her face was pure and beautiful, and the moisture in her beautiful eyes made people feel pity.

Xueyi reached out and gently stroked Mu Zhian's face, her beautiful eyes seemingly revealing a seductive look: "Young friend Mu, you are a natural furnace and extremely talented. Can you help me in the future? You are the only one I can rely on."

Her sweet and gentle voice, the fragrance of her breath on my face, seemed to be accompanied by an intoxicating aroma, like a devil who toyed with people's hearts, every smile and frown seemed to be captivating.

Mu Zhian seemed truly attracted to her, gazing into those alluring, moist eyes.

After a long pause, he lowered his head, his face flushed, and said, "I will do my best, but please don't do this, senior... I... I already have a Daoist partner."

"It's just helping out, young friend Mu, what are you thinking?" Xue Yi said with a light smile.

A fleeting hint of playful mockery, like a cat toying with a mouse, flashed across her beautiful eyes.

Mu Zhian hesitated for a moment before nodding reservedly, "Okay... I understand, I will do my best."

"That's wonderful! I'm so happy!"

Xueyi smiled, tilted her head slightly, and clapped her hands gently.

"But what exactly is it that you need my help with, senior?" Mu Zhian feigned confusion.

"Actually, I'm looking for a body. If I go to the Southern Wilderness, there might be a way," Xueyi said softly.

With a hint of curiosity, Mu Zhian asked, "Senior Xueyi, do you know the name of the body's owner? I have some influence in Dongzhou, so perhaps I can help."

“If those three evil gods of the Southern Wilderness had kept their promise, she would be the Holy Maiden of the Southern Wilderness now,” Xueyi said.

The image of the seemingly frail beauty flashed through Mu Zhian's mind, and his eyes flickered slightly.

Just then, the sound of high heels clicking on the ground came from outside. Xueyi said softly, "Young friend Mu, my time away from the storage ring is limited, so I won't disturb you and Feiying today. I'll find some time to come see you another day."

The pure and beautiful figure silently returned to the storage ring. Lan Feiying walked into the private room with alluring steps. Her fiery red cheongsam hugged her graceful and sexy figure. Mu Zhian immediately saw her fair and long legs under the slit of the cheongsam.

It looks beautiful, but it's a pity we can't see any more skin, since the cheongsam is too tight... Mu Zhian looked up and smiled, "Judging from the lively scene outside, the alchemy competition seems to have ended?"

Lan Feiying glanced at him with her charming and amorous eyes: "Why are you bringing this up out of the blue? Are you perhaps eager to see your Lingxuan sister?"

Mu Zhian met Lan Feiying's gaze and smiled, "It was just a casual remark. Feiying, are you perhaps jealous?"

Do you think I'm the kind of woman who gets jealous?

The moment their eyes met, Lan Feiying seemed unwilling to admit defeat, staring at Mu Zhian as if trying to suppress him with her aura.

After staring at her for a while, she finally gave in. Her delicate and charming face flushed slightly as she looked away and said calmly, "Don't you have anything to ask me?"

Mu Zhian poured Lan Feiying a cup of tea: "Sister Feiying is favored by Heaven, this is a good thing."

"As for Ye Yu's matter... although it's a bit of a pity, it's alright since it's Sister Fei Ying's business."

If he were to eliminate Ye Yu, the innate furnace would likely be able to absorb Ye Yu's spiritual energy, which could then be given to other 'protagonists'.

However, it's not unacceptable that Lan Feiying received Ye Yu's good fortune.

"Ye Yu's luck was only plundered by me, but I myself cannot bear any more blessing from luck."

Lan Feiying glanced lazily at Mu Zhian: "I was originally thinking that if you were willing, I would transfer this luck to you."

Mu Zhian was taken aback: "Besides the Spirit Dragon, is there anyone else who can transfer their fortune to another person...?"

“The spirit dragon is the most favored creature in this world, and my ability to bestow fortune upon others is not because I am favored by heaven and earth.”

Lan Feiying said with a smile, "If you sign an equal contract with me, I will completely hand over Ye Yu's fortune to you."

As she said this, she glanced casually at the items displayed on the system interface.

[Equal Contract: After signing a contract with a living person, you can sense their location and share a portion of your own great fortune with them.]

Mu Zhian gave Lan Feiying a deep look, then nodded: "I'm fine, but won't Sister Feiying feel bad about losing her luck?"

A smile appeared in Lan Feiying's beautiful eyes: "I don't mind... However, don't you suspect there's something wrong with the contract? Under normal circumstances, an equal contract shouldn't allow for the sharing of destiny."

"As you said yourself, it's something that cannot be achieved through a normal, equal contract."

Mu Zhian smiled faintly and said, "But your contract should be a system item, right?"

Lan Feiying licked her alluring lips, savoring Mu Zhian's words: "So you knew all along."

She took a piece of parchment from her bosom and placed it on the table: "Infuse this letter with your spiritual energy."

Mu Zhian placed his palm on the letter, then channeled his spiritual energy into it.

"Is that all?" he asked.

At the same time, I also felt a bit emotional.

I never expected that after dealing with two chosen ones, I would encounter a chosen woman with whom I already had a close relationship... It's really strange when you think about it.

Lan Feiying nodded slightly and said, "As long as I inject my spiritual energy into it, the contract will be completed."

Having said that, she also channeled her spiritual energy, intending to infuse it into the contract.

However, just as she was infusing her spiritual energy into the contract, she suddenly discovered that the contract remained completely unresponsive.

Lan Feiying's eyes flickered slightly. She reached out and grabbed the parchment, scanning it with her spiritual sense. Indeed, there was no trace of Mu Zhian's spiritual energy remaining in it.

How could that be...?

The contract cannot be valid?

A brief silence fell over the private room. Mu Zhian hesitated for a moment, looking at Lan Feiying's somewhat strange expression with suspicion, and asked, "Sister Feiying, what's wrong?"

Lan Feiying slowly raised her eyes, a hint of disbelief in them, and her rosy lips parted slightly as she looked at Mu Zhian: "I cannot sign a contract with you..."

Mu Zhian hesitated for a moment, then asked doubtfully, "Could it be because of the will of Heaven?"

Lan Feiying gently shook her head: "Impossible. The system is not under the control of the Heavenly Dao, and the same goes for the item contracts given by the system. Moreover, the Heavenly Dao cannot directly interfere with the behavior of cultivators; it can only influence them in the dark."

“But logically speaking, this contract doesn’t have any requirements or restrictions…” Lan Feiying muttered to herself.

"Then why do you think it is, Sister Fei Ying?" Mu Zhi'an picked up the sheepskin contract, examined it for a few moments, and then asked.

After a brief silence, Lan Feiying said softly, "My contract has no requirements or restrictions. If there is only one restriction, it is this one."

She took the sheepskin contract from Mu Zhian and pointed to a passage of text described on it.

"To sign a contract with a living person..."

“A living person…” Mu Zhian murmured to himself.

His expression slowly froze.

Chapter 380 Schrödinger's Mu Zhi'an

"Only the living can sign an equal contract; conversely, those who are not living cannot sign a contract..."

After sorting out this simple logic in his chaotic mind, Mu Zhian's smile remained unchanged. Then, after a brief moment of stunned silence, his smile gradually stiffened until it slowly disappeared.

If there were a bronze mirror on the table at this moment, he would see his expression go from a faint smile at the beginning to hesitation, and finally to a blank stare.

Such a change in expression is something even the most skilled actor could not portray.

Mu Zhian stared blankly at Lan Feiying, and as if to confirm that what he was seeing was not an illusion, he picked up the sheepskin contract again and looked at the words displayed on it.

Aside from the extremely concise description above, there is no further explanation.

"How is this possible? How is this possible...?"

Mu Zhian spoke with difficulty, "Sister Fei Ying, do you think it might be a problem with your system item?"

Lan Feiying gently shook her head: "This prop was given to me after I dealt with Ye Yu, and I have never seen any props given by my system go wrong."

Mu Zhian was stunned and said, "But if I weren't alive, how could I be sitting here chatting with you, all lively and energetic?"

"If I had lost all traces of life, several Dao Integration experts would have encountered me. Didn't any of them realize it?"

Even though most of the Dao-Merging experts he knew were not in their true forms, and Yao Meng's spiritual energy had not been fully replenished back then, what about the Demon Queen?

Where is Consort Shang Yan?

None of them could tell that they weren't 'living beings'?

Lan Feiying's eyes also held a hint of doubt: "So I'm just as puzzled... Logically speaking, there's nothing wrong with your aura. Could it really be the influence of the Heavenly Dao that prevents us from signing a contract?"

Mu Zhian's expression was extremely subtle: "No... just as you said, the Heavenly Dao cannot directly affect the contract between you and me."
