It turns out, they were the main characters.

Even through the thin white socks, Bai Ruoxi's body still trembled slightly, clearly indicating that the soles of her feet were one of her weaknesses.

"Mu Lang... what do you mean by this?" Bai Ruoxi's eyes flickered slightly as she stared intently at Mu Zhi'an, both shy and somewhat puzzled.

“Lying is not something a good girl should do. You have one more chance to answer me honestly.” Mu Zhian looked down at her.

"Did anything else happen when you were undergoing your tribulation?" Mu Zhian continued to ask.

He discovered...?

Bai Ruoxi was slightly surprised, but she only bit her lip lightly and remained silent.

Mu Zhian sighed and said, "Since you refuse to tell me, then we'll just have to punish this lying bad girl a little—"

Bai Ruoxi closed her eyes slightly and bit her lower lip, as if she had prepared herself mentally.

But after nearly half an incense stick's time, Bai Ruoxi still didn't feel any movement from Mu Zhian. She slowly opened her eyes and saw him silently staring at her.

He suddenly sighed and said, "Ruoxi, do you still not trust me?"

Bai Ruoxi slowly opened her eyes and said softly, "What do you mean by that, Mu Lang?"

"Did something unexpected happen during today's tribulation?" Mu Zhian asked.

Bai Ruoxi opened her mouth slightly, noticing Mu Zhian staring intently at her. After hesitating for a long time, she finally nodded gently.

"When I finished my tribulation, I discovered that there was also demonic energy in my body... At that time, it was only a trace of demonic energy, so I didn't pay attention to it."

Ruoxi did indeed possess demonic energy, which was understandable, given that she was Bai Yuanfeng's daughter... Mu Zhian asked, puzzled, "Why didn't you want to tell me about this?"

Bai Ruoxi lowered her eyes slightly and said in a low voice, "If Mu Lang knew that there was really demonic energy in my body, I'm afraid you would despise me..."

This was not Bai Ruoxi's worry without reason; there had been several such cases in the past where people severed ties with their Daoist partners after discovering they were demon cultivators.

There is little in common between human cultivators and demon cultivators. Even though Bai Ruoxi is not a demon cultivator in the true sense, she still has the blood of a demon cultivator flowing in her veins.

Previously, Bai Ruoxi's body did not show any characteristics of a demon cultivator, but after undergoing her tribulation today, the three-tailed fox bloodline in her body seems to be showing signs of awakening.

This is a very bad omen.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, they would probably have some hesitation after hearing Bai Ruoxi admit to it.

However, Mu Zhian is just a pure LSP.

“I’ve said it before, if you were a fox-eared girl…” Mu Zhian coughed lightly and said, “I mean, it would be even better if you had fox ears.”

The people in this world simply don't understand the beauty of fox-eared girls. How could a normal man refuse such a status? Once that status appears, it can bring an attack speed bonus, just like the leg ring on Bai Ruoxi's fair feet.

“However,” Mu Zhian changed the subject and continued, “Sister Mengrou has sensed the wisp of demonic energy on you.”

"If nothing unexpected happens, the other cultivators at the Refinement Realm who were present at the time probably also noticed it."

Bai Ruoxi stared blankly at Mu Zhian.

"Perhaps the Gongsun family is already secretly investigating you."

Seeing that Bai Ruoxi seemed a little worried, Mu Zhian paused and continued, "But don't worry, if they want to investigate, just let them investigate."

Bai Ruoxi remained silent for a long time before finally asking, "Do you have any ideas?"

Mu Zhian lowered his head and kissed Bai Ruoxi's slightly flushed face, and said with a smile, "The sect assessment is coming soon. They won't dare to expose you directly until they can confirm your identity."

The Morning Light Chamber of Commerce only wants to make its own money peacefully and will not do something that is thankless and even detrimental to its own interests.

The Gongsun family... Gongsun Xiong is currently preoccupied with his own problems, so how could he possibly dare to make any underhanded moves at this time?

Once it is confirmed that Bai Ruoxi is not a demon cultivator, the Gongsun family, which comes forward to question Bai Ruoxi, will face suppression from the Mu family and the Bai family.

Gongsun Xiong, who is still recovering from serious injuries, dares not take such a risk.

Therefore, neither the Gongsun family nor the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce has any major problems.

“The real problem doesn’t lie with the Gongsun family or the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce, but with Senior Sister,” Mu Zhian continued.

The Liangyi Sect and the Demon Realm can be considered mortal enemies. As the Empress's disciple in seclusion, Lan Mulian's attitude towards demon cultivators is of paramount importance.

If she suspects Bai Ruoxi's identity, then things will be troublesome.

"Anyway, I'll go to Yangfeng Inn later and test the waters first," Mu Zhian said.

Bai Ruoxi said softly, "I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble."

Mu Zhian gazed into Bai Ruoxi's eyes and said, "Do we need to say these things between us, Ruoxi?"

Bai Ruoxi's eyes welled up with tears as she gazed at him intently, saying, "Mulang, you are so kind."

Mu Zhian held Bai Ruoxi's waist and said affectionately, "After all, you are the person I love the most, Ruoxi... Why did you suddenly take out a love lock? Do you think I would lie to you?"

Noticing that Bai Ruoxi had secretly taken out the love lock, Mu Zhian immediately raised his hand and placed it on the back of Bai Ruoxi's hand, saying, "This love lock is fine for occasional flirting when we're sleeping. My feelings for you shouldn't be confirmed with a love lock, Ruoxi."

"Is Mu Lang worried about revealing something?" Bai Ruoxi asked quietly.

Mu Zhian sighed softly, gently took Bai Ruoxi's small hand, placed it on his chest, gazed at her, and said, "Ruoxi, I know you are a girl who is very insecure. However, you should still give me some trust."

"Instead of using that kind of thing, it's better to confirm it with your own hands."

Bai Ruoxi blushed and didn't dare to look up at him. She simply put away the love lock silently.

This thing is too much of a threat. If something really goes wrong one day, it will definitely be this thing that caused it... After watching the love lock disappear, Mu Zhian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, he suddenly noticed a paper crane flying past the window. As if it had locked onto Mu Zhian's location, the paper crane rode the wind and drifted past the window, landing on Bai Ruoxi's chest.

Lan Mulian's paper crane.

Bai Ruoxi glanced down at the paper crane, her eyes filled with doubt, and said, "This contains Senior Sister Lan's spiritual energy."

Mu Zhian calmly put the paper crane away and said, "Hmm... I'll take another look later."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Ruoxi didn't say anything, but just stared at him silently.

She wanted to see what her senior sister usually wrote to me... Mu Zhi'an pondered for a long time, and finally nodded with a smile:

"Okay... let's watch it together then."

Chapter 77 Clinging to My Senior Sister's Thigh! 3.5K

Mu Zhian unfolded the paper crane and noticed Bai Ruoxi's gaze fixed intently on it, so he couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

He naturally knew that Lan Mulian wouldn't say anything ambiguous in this letter, which is why he agreed to read it with Bai Ruoxi.

If Wei Mengrou could sense the demonic energy in Bai Ruoxi's body, how could Lan Mulian not?

Moreover, Lan Mulian seems to have been angry or something these past few days, and has not sent any paper cranes to Mu Zhian. How could it be such a coincidence that she sent a paper crane today?

If I'm not mistaken, what this letter is about is probably related to Bai Ruoxi.

Mu Zhian opened the letter, which contained only one sentence: "Meet me at Yangfeng Inn at noon today. I have a question for you regarding Bai Ruoxi."

as predicted.

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that Senior Sister does indeed suspect your identity."

Bai Ruoxi's eyes were filled with worry as she softly asked, "What should we do?"

She never expected to encounter such a thing when she advanced to the Refining God Realm.

“Actually, it’s not all bad,” Mu Zhian said.

"At least what my senior sister wrote in her letter didn't show any hostility towards you, which is a good thing."

"Besides, you'll eventually advance to the Refinement God realm. It's better in Tianxuan City, but what do you think would happen if you were in the Liangyi Sect?" Mu Zhian offered a different way of comforting him.

Bai Ruoxi's previously conflicted expression softened considerably.

That's not wrong. At least she discovered this while undergoing her tribulation in Tianxuan City. If she had encountered something like this while undergoing her tribulation in Liangyi Sect, the nature of the situation would have been completely different.

Mu Zhian put away the letter, looked the aloof and delicate beauty up and down, and asked, "There is not a trace of demonic energy emanating from your body right now... Is it possible that demonic energy can only be released when experiencing a heavenly tribulation?"

Bai Ruoxi gently shook her head: "Actually, I was too arrogant back then and didn't suppress my spiritual energy at all, otherwise this wouldn't have happened."

She had never known that there was also demonic energy in her body. Although Bai Yuanfeng was a three-tailed fox, judging from her current behavior, it seemed that apart from giving her daughter that stunning beauty, she had not passed on any of her demonic characteristics to Bai Ruoxi.

No one could have imagined that such a thing would happen at the end of the Heavenly Tribulation.

After pondering for a moment, Mu Zhian said, "So, if you're willing, you can completely suppress the demonic energy within the cauldron?"

Bai Ruoxi nodded slightly: "As long as you don't use demonic energy, it naturally won't leak out."

The reason she was able to leak demonic energy outside the city gate was simply because her spiritual energy supply was insufficient after using the bronze sword continuously. As a result, the bronze sword extracted demonic energy from the cauldron, which caused what happened just now.

"Are you going to see your senior sister?" Bai Ruoxi suddenly asked.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly: "We must go."

"If we can get a clear indication of Senior Sister's reaction, we won't have to worry about those people in Tianxuan City secretly informing on us," Mu Zhian continued.

Bai Ruoxi frowned slightly and said softly, "If even the Morning Dawn Chamber of Commerce and the Gongsun family don't dare to inform on us... then who would dare?"

“No family in Tianxuan City would dare to do this.”

Mu Zhi paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "But some individuals, especially some idiots, are capable of anything when they go crazy."

Bai Ruoxi tilted her head slightly, her eyes filled with confusion: "Who are you referring to? Gongsun Cheng...?"

"Those at the Qi Refining Realm couldn't detect that trace of demonic energy you exuded back then," Mu Zhian slowly shook his head.

Bai Ruoxi was somewhat puzzled. After pondering for a long time, she seemed to remember something, slowly raised her head to look at Mu Zhian, and whispered, "...Ye Yu?"

Ye Yu is only at the Qi Refining Realm, but the strength of the old man inside him is still unclear.

However, when he possessed Ye Yu's body in the Dragon Head Forest, he already had the level of the Refining God Realm.

If it were Ye Yu, he might have actually noticed it back then.

If he were to bring this up directly with Lan Mulian...

Bai Ruoxi's small hands unconsciously gripped the hem of her skirt, her eyes filled with regret.

If it were just her alone, it wouldn't be so bad, but if this matter involves the Bai family and Mu Zhian...

Mu Zhian looked down slightly at the girl.

She sat in a chair against a backdrop of an elegant and classical room. Her white palace dress exuded a snow-like aura of dignified grace, cold and noble, yet also revealing a touch of vulnerability that evoked pity.

A warm hand gently rested on the back of Bai Ruoxi's hand, causing her to subconsciously raise her head and look at Mu Zhian with a hazy expression.

"Instead of thinking about these things, you should focus on meditation and cultivation." Mu Zhi'an gave a reassuring smile.
