It turns out, they were the main characters.

As she said this, she slightly opened her arms.

Then, a hand was gently placed on the back of his head and pressed lightly.

Mu Zhian buried his face in the heart of the Reincarnated Empress's full and upright figure, and the sweet and fragrant scent made him close his eyes slightly.

A strange sense of peace filled his heart, as if all his emotions could flow naturally within him.

Mu Zhian was so engrossed in the moment that he asked somewhat indistinctly in her arms, "If Lingxuan sees us doing this in her room, is it alright?"

"It doesn't matter……"

The Reincarnated Empress gently stroked the back of Mu Zhi'an's head and whispered, "She and I are the same person... Besides, I would never do anything to betray her."

Her master is busy right now, and she is simply comforting her 'Brother Mu' on her master's behalf.

This should be...

Is that one of the duties of a maid?

……

……

I haven't been feeling too energetic lately, lacking inspiration, but I still managed to write nearly six thousand words... I'll try to update earlier tomorrow! Time to read some scripts to recharge. Goodnight everyone!

Chapter 543 Everything is for Ling'er! 5.5k

That morning.

After the reincarnated empress left the room, Mu Zhian changed his robes and then summoned his maid, Wei Mengrou.

"What's wrong? You're still not satisfied after returning from Heaven, so now you're setting your sights on your own maid?"

After entering the room, Wei Mengrou noticed the boy's gaze sweeping over her. She couldn't help but glance at him with disdain in her eyes: "What else do you think about all day long besides smirking?"

Mu Zhian thought for a moment and smiled, "Yes, helping you improve your strength is something I need to do."

Mu Zhian coaxed patiently: "Sister Mengrou, don't you want to try what it feels like to be a natural furnace for the Ascension Realm again?"

His tone was gentle, yet his voice seemed to carry a strange allure, causing Wei Mengrou to subconsciously look at his face.

Then, she seemed to notice the young master's teasing gaze, her delicate, snow-white face flushed slightly, and she glared at him: "Say what you have to say quickly, or I'm leaving."

Ever since Mu Zhian attained enlightenment, she has found herself increasingly unable to refuse some of her young master's requests.

It's unclear whether it's because he's obsessed with his innate furnace or because he's been influenced by the two spiritual energies of the Primordial Witch.

In fact, Wei Mengrou had anticipated Yao Meng's sneaking into the Heavenly Court yesterday, after all, she knew that the Azure Emperor would not give up the opportunity to steal food so easily...

However, she couldn't bring herself to stop Qingdi... after all, he was the young master's nominal 'official wife'.

Although she appears so aloof now, the maid might not refuse if Mu Zhian asks her to do something fun.

Rather, she had intended to meditate and cultivate as usual last night, but as soon as she closed her eyes, she would think of the intimate scenes between the young master and that fairy in the Heavenly Court.

So much so that, influenced by the desires of the primordial witch, he did some extremely shameful things...

If the young master finds out, I'll definitely be laughed at to death...

Wei Mengrou said indifferently, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back now."

"Wait a minute."

At this moment, Mu Zhian suddenly reached out and grabbed Wei Mengrou's wrist.

Wei Mengrou felt a little hopeful, but still responded coldly: "Just say what you want to say."

"Won't all the major powers arrive at the forbidden area one after another today, and then witness Lingxuan's coronation ceremony together?"

Mu Zhian paused, gazing into Wei Mengrou's eyes, and said, "There's something I need to ask Sister Mengrou for help with..."

Wei Mengrou's anticipation gradually cooled, and she glanced at the young master with a detached look: "You tell me first."

So all that fuss about calling her over was for this kind of thing...?

Mu Zhian said, "After merging two spiritual senses, if Sister Mengrou is willing, even someone at the Dao Integration Realm wouldn't be able to detect your presence, right?"

"So I would like to ask you to follow the people from the Forbidden Land of Life after they arrive... especially the master of the Forbidden Land of Life."

Wei Mengrou was taken aback, and then she subconsciously said, "You've finally gone so far as to not even spare the old monsters in the forbidden zone of life?"

Mu Zhian gave a standard warm smile: "What are you talking about, Sister Mengrou? I just have some things to investigate, so I need you to keep a close eye on the master of the Forbidden Land of Life."

"The one who descended into the forbidden zone this time was only a clone, so it was impossible for her to detect your presence."

Wei Mengrou frowned slightly: "Once we arrive at the Forbidden Zone of Life, I will keep an eye on them secretly. But what about you?"

In order to consolidate Ye Lingxuan's position and deter other forbidden areas, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone invited various forces. The Forbidden Zone may seem calm on the surface, but there are probably undercurrents surging beneath.

Currently, all the female cultivators who know the secret of the 'Natural Furnace' are interested in Mu Zhi'an... Wei Mengrou is worried that while she is secretly monitoring Mu Zhi, she will turn around and find that her home has been raided.

If they come back and find that their young master has been kidnapped by a vixen from some forbidden place... that wouldn't be fun.

After all, the rules of each forbidden place are very special, and if Mu Zhian is captured, it will be very difficult to find him.

Mu Zhian laughed and said, "This is a restricted area. There are so many people here right now. Do you think anyone could sneak me away in front of all these people?"

Now that Bai Ruoxi and Yao Meng are both in the restricted area, and with Ye Qingxin's presence, even if Wei Mengrou isn't secretly protecting him, Mu Zhian doesn't think anything will happen to him.

Unless... he was arrested voluntarily.

Why do I feel like I'm some kind of Tang Sanzang right now... Mu Zhian suddenly muttered to himself.

It was only a matter of time before his secret as a natural furnace was exposed; in fact, many people probably already knew about it.

This coronation ceremony of the Forbidden Zone Queen may also be an opportunity for some to learn about the true nature of the owner of the Natural Furnace.

Nowadays, many stories about Mu Zhian circulate throughout Kyushu.

For example, there are rumors that when the Azure Emperor ascended to heaven, some people saw him single-handedly stop powerful figures from the Southern Wilderness and the Western Regions, and even intimidate forbidden creatures.

There are also rumors that the Azure Emperor and the Sword Palace Master almost came to blows over him...

In short, there are all sorts of conflicting opinions, but without exception, they all describe Mu Zhian as a wicked monster who brings disaster to the country and its people, and even call him the reincarnation of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox.

In a sense, this statement is true.

Rather than passively waiting for others to investigate his identity, he decided to take the initiative.

"Just be careful and know your limits. Once the people from the Forbidden Land of Life arrive, I'll keep an eye on them for you," Wei Mengrou said calmly.

"Is there anything else?" she asked casually.

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment and said, "When Mu Zhi has fewer guards around her or when she acts alone, come back and let me know."

"Is there anything else?" Wei Mengrou asked again.

"That's all. I'll come to you again if I need anything else," Mu Zhian said.

Wei Mengrou's eyes flickered slightly. She glanced at the boy silently, hummed in agreement, and turned to leave.

Mu Zhian seemed to remember something important and suddenly said, "Speaking of which, I need Mengrou's help with something..."

Why are you making such a fuss?

Wei Mengrou turned her head in dissatisfaction and saw Mu Zhian take out a pair of black and white stockings from his storage ring.

Seemingly noticing the maid's slightly surprised look, Mu Zhian explained, "This is made of Nirvana silk."

“I know…” Wei Mengrou looked at the young master with the eyes of someone looking at a pervert, “Why do you always carry a pair of… stockings with you?”

Mu Zhian smiled and said, "I had planned to give it to Sister Mengrou before, but I forgot about it at the time."

He wouldn't go so far as to say now that he got it from Yao Meng last night.

Wei Mengrou said calmly, "I don't need it."

“But I need it,” Mu Zhian said.

Wei Mengrou glanced at her master with disdain: "You can give it to the woman next to you."

Mengrou is being arrogant again...

Mu Zhian couldn't help but smile, then reached out and grabbed Wei Mengrou's wrist, pulling her into his arms. He said softly, "Sister Mengrou, you've been secretly watching me ever since you came in. Is there something important?"

Born with a spiritual body, Mu Zhian naturally possessed remarkable perception. He could sense that the maid had been secretly watching him ever since she entered the room.

Wei Mengrou did not break free, but glanced at the boy through her bangs and said coldly, "I just want to see how much spiritual energy you consumed last night in the Heavenly Court."

Mu Zhian couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, "How can you possibly tell anything just by looking? You might as well confirm it yourself."

"I'm different from you, I have other things to take care of later, hmm~"

A sound unconsciously escaped Wei Mengrou's red lips, then a hint of coldness flashed in her beautiful eyes as she glared at the young master: "Didn't you hear me? Or are you planning to handle Mu Zhi's matter yourself after this?"

His words carried a subtle threat.

Mu Zhian thought for a moment and said, "Sister Mengrou, I've always felt that you don't respect me as your master very much. If it were anyone else, you would have punished them by now."

Wei Mengrou glanced at the young master with disdain, as if to say: You?

Her lips were full and red, like tempting cherries, and she looked at her young master with pride and aloofness, her eyes filled with disdain.

This maid certainly deserves such a title; after all, with the blessing of the Primordial Witch, her combat power is in no way inferior to that of a Feathered One.

Beneath that seemingly aloof face, she gradually became shy under the young master's gaze. From her initial disdainful sneer, she bit her lip and tried her best to suppress the flutter in her heart, refusing to easily give in to him.

Seeing this, Mu Zhian couldn't help but smile faintly. Wei Mengrou had always been like this. Although she seemed aloof now, she would gradually become shy when treated gently...

Wei Mengrou bit her lower lip and silently endured the young master's instruction.

However, the last trace of resistance in my heart had long since vanished.

In fact, this scene at this moment was one of the images she had imagined last night...

The Primordial Witch's second spiritual sense could see through any emotion in the world, so she could now clearly feel that the young master's heart was indeed with her.

This softened Wei Mengrou's coldness a bit.

But he's always the one in control, teasing me. Won't he get annoyed with this someday?

The aloof maid felt a little uneasy at this moment.

With so many beauties around the young master now, she doesn't seem to have any advantage over other women... If she continues to be 'passive' like this, sooner or later others will be able to take advantage of her.

So we should take advantage of the fact that no one is in the house now and do something to excite him...
