It turns out, they were the main characters.

He knew that the powerful figure behind Huang Weifeng was disabled, but he never expected that there was such an outrageous village next to Tianxuan City, where he used to live.

“Actually, I had advised Huang Weifeng not to cause you trouble before, but he wouldn’t listen and ended up losing his life… Even the great fortune bestowed upon him by Heaven couldn’t save him,” Huang Manting continued.

"So, you stumbled upon this opportunity by chance, having unknowingly provided supplies to that village every few months?"

Mu Zhian murmured to himself, and then, very quickly, he felt his thoughts suddenly stop, and he abruptly raised his head to gaze at Huang Manting's pretty face.

"Wait... what did you just say?"

Mu Zhian stared into Huang Manting's eyes and asked again, "How do you know that Huang Weifeng is a person of great fortune?"

Moreover, she not only knew that Huang Weifeng was a person of great fortune, but she also knew that Huang Weifeng's great fortune was bestowed by the Heavenly Dao!

"Young Master Mu already has the answer in his heart, so why make him repeat it again?"

Huang Manting raised her face and looked at him shyly, appearing like a delicate young girl.

However, there was a hint of cunning in his smile, with a playful curve at the corners of his mouth.

"You are also one of the chosen ones...?"

Mu Zhian was somewhat taken aback, although he had already had a premonition when Huang Manting mentioned the Heavenly Dao.

But even after it was confirmed, I still found it hard to believe.

So the entire Nine Provinces is so big, yet it's a circle from beginning to end. Only at the very end do we realize that the so-called 'protagonist' and even the chosen one are actually people he knows.

Huang Manting seemed quite pleased with Mu Zhian's surprise. She picked up the teapot from the table, poured herself and Mu Zhian a cup of tea, and said with a smile, "Young Master Mu, now you know why I came to see you, right?"

She secretly observed Mu Zhian's expression and saw that he was frowning slightly and looking thoughtful, so she took the tea and sat down next to him.

Beneath the black dress, a pair of slender, jade-like feet swayed gently, the skin on the insteps smooth as snow. At this moment, she tilted her head slightly, looking at him with a smile.

"You are the chosen one... and you came all the way from the forbidden land of reincarnation to see me. Could it be that you want to suppress me?"

Mu Zhian snapped out of his daze and subtly shifted his gaze away from her feet.

"If I wanted to put you down, I wouldn't have told you my secrets, would I?"

Huang Manting slightly brought her slender, long legs together, then gently placed them on Mu Zhian's knees. Her fair, jade-like feet were crossed, and her toes were painted with black nail polish that looked like chocolate, which was particularly eye-catching in the candlelight.

Mu Zhian frowned slightly and said with humility, "Miss Huang, please have some self-respect!"

As she spoke, she tried to move her body back a little.

"Young Master Mu, stop pretending. Although you acted very convincingly, you've probably forgotten how you tricked me back in Tianxuan City," Huang Manting said quietly.

After she finished speaking, she suddenly asked again, seemingly casually, "Are you... very interested in women's feet?"

Looking at the pair of delicate white feet on his knees, Mu Zhian couldn't help but shake his head and retort, "What kind of person do you take me for? I rarely touch other women's feet except for you, let alone have any strange hobbies."

Hmm, apart from Ruoxi, Yaomeng, Linglong, Sister Mengrou, Sect Leader Sister, and Senior Sister, I haven't touched anyone else... Thinking about it, it seems like quite a lot?

Come to think of it, I have a feeling that my senior sister has already vaguely realized what happened between me and the sect leader. I'm afraid it's about to become a secret. I need to find a time to test her attitude... Mu Zhian thought to himself.

"Actually, it doesn't matter to me. After all, once a cultivator reaches the Refining Spirit Realm, they can go without sleep and don't need to eat anything, so they naturally don't have any physiological needs... But if it's one of those ordinary women from Tianxuan City back then, Young Master Mu, you should be careful."

This sounds like it's saying: Girls like me are fine, but ordinary women should be careful of fungal lung infections.

Mu Zhian was stunned for a moment, then realized something when he saw the playful look in Huang Manting's eyes. He couldn't help but sigh and rub his forehead: "I never played like that back in Tianxuan City... I always felt like you thought I was some kind of pervert."

Before he awakened his memories, Mu Zhian's XP was not so extensive. His XP gradually increased after he awakened his past life memories.

"When did you become the chosen one selected by Heaven?" Mu Zhian asked, changing the subject.

"Back in Tianxuan City, you weren't the chosen one yet, were you?"

Huang Manting gave a soft "hmm": "Back then, Heaven had not yet chosen me."

"I was officially chosen by Heaven as the chosen one only after Huang Weifeng died."

Mu Zhian remained silent, lost in thought.

From this perspective, the chosen ones of this world were not all predetermined at the beginning; some were chosen by the Heavenly Dao later.

But why does Heaven always choose the people around me... Mu Zhi'an thought to himself.

No...maybe it wasn't chosen by Heaven?

The Way of Heaven does not reside in the Nine Provinces, but rather its will maintains the rules and order of the Nine Provinces.

Similarly, the selection of the chosen ones does not actually require the Heavenly Dao to choose them personally.

Mu Zhian thought of another possibility.

—The will of Heaven.

There is more than one Heavenly Dao Will, and each Heavenly Dao Will has different powers of control over the Nine Provinces.

Miss Heavenly Dao represents a more comprehensive Heavenly Dao Will, while 'Taboo' is the Heavenly Dao Will that governs the nine taboo rules.

Perhaps, choosing Huang Manting as the chosen one was the will of Heaven?

Mu Zhian snapped out of his reverie and looked at the girl in the black dress before him: "You came to find me because of the Forbidden Ground of Reincarnation?"

"Young Master Mu is truly intelligent."

Huang Manting raised her bright and beautiful eyes. Her pink lips looked moist and glistening under the tea, as tempting and elastic as jelly, making one want to take a bite.

She parted her red lips slightly and said softly, "I want to make a deal with you."

Mu Zhian pressed down on her foot that was wandering around her knee, the gold chain on her ankle swaying gently.

He frowned and said, "You want me to help the first Lord of Reincarnation reclaim the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation?"

"not only that."

Huang Manting said softly, "I want to inherit my master's will and become the Lord of Reincarnation."

"Of course, Young Master Mu can rest assured. Even if I become the Lord of Reincarnation, I will do my best to help you if you need anything in the future. I can swear to the Great Dao on this."

“In addition, I will also give you what Young Master Mu wants,” Huang Manting said again.

Mu Zhian raised an eyebrow: "You know what I want?"

Huang Manting toyed with the teacup in her hand: "Back when we were testing our luck in Tianxuan City, only your maid was born with an extremely unlucky body. Gu Boxing, the Grand Preceptor of the Great Qian Dynasty, knew that Wei Mengrou was born with an unlucky body and wanted to capture her... But later, Miss Wei's bad luck mysteriously disappeared a lot."

“I’ve looked up information about the previous chosen ones, and I know that Miss Wei’s misfortunes will disappear later because you entrusted all the great fortune of the chosen ones to her, right?” Huang Manting asked.

Mu Zhian said calmly, "Since you already know, there's no need to ask again."

"Just checking to satisfy my curiosity."

Huang Manting said with a smile, "So, for Young Master Mu, this deal has no downsides, right?"

Mu Zhian raised an eyebrow: "So how do you plan to hand over this great fortune to me?"

"It's very simple."

Huang Manting raised her face, pouted her luscious red lips, and her beautiful eyes were exceptionally alluring: "Give me a kiss, and I'll tell you."

Chapter 616 Fox Ears...The Charm of Yuchian

Upon hearing Huang Manting's words, Mu Zhian's eyes lit up with a strange expression as he secretly scrutinized the girl with whom he had almost no interaction.

Before this, he had never associated Huang Manting with the chosen one.

Back then, he had always wondered why, since Huang Weifeng's death, no new chosen one had been born in this world.

At first, he thought it was because the Heavenly Dao had discovered that these chosen ones had become easy targets, and that once Mu Zhian was fattened up, he could harvest them directly. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao stopped granting these chosen ones great fortune.

But now it seems... perhaps it's because Huang Manting, as the chosen one, concealed her identity, which is why he didn't discover it for so long.

I never expected that Heaven would ultimately choose her... Mu Zhian sighed inwardly.

"What are you still standing there for, Young Master Mu? Don't you want to know how to transfer this great fortune to you?"

Huang Manting closed her eyes slightly, her curled eyelashes trembling gently. She raised her delicate, flawless face, her tender red lips pouting, as if she were a shy woman ready to be picked.

Even if someone is the chosen one, possessing immense good fortune, it would be far too careless to be so vigilant.

It's important to understand that great fortune doesn't mean the person won't be in danger, but rather that they can always escape danger smoothly through some coincidences, just like Ye Yu and others in the past. Sometimes it wasn't that Mu Zhian didn't want to kill them, but that they couldn't die because of the blessing of great fortune.

Because they will be protected by the will of Heaven in the unseen realm.

However, Mu Zhian did not make any move. He simply asked, "Miss Huang, you shouldn't be so desperately in love with me that you have to resort to this kind of kiss, right? Why don't you just say what your purpose is?"

This behavior of letting him take advantage of him for no reason always made Mu Zhian feel uneasy, as if the other party was plotting something against him.

However, Huang Manting remained silent, keeping her head up and eyes closed, with a faint smile on her face.

She soon felt something touch her lips, so she slowly opened her eyes and found that Mu Zhian was gently touching her delicate red lips with his index finger.

"It's pointless. When others wanted the innate furnace, Young Master Mu probably agreed without hesitation, right? But when it came to me, you hesitated, worried that I was plotting against you."

Huang Manting looked at Mu Zhian with a hint of resentment in her eyes. Her bright, unpredictable eyes darted around for a moment, then seemed to have thought of something interesting. Like a cat trying to please its master, she gently licked his index finger.

Mu Zhian recoiled as if he had been electrocuted; even he hadn't expected such a maneuver.

Huang Manting looked at him with a smile and said in a casual tone, "Young Master Mu, have you ever thought that the chosen ones among men are those who weaken the Heavenly Dao's blessing on them by constantly suppressing them, and finally kill them when they have been suppressed enough?"

"Then what can be done to weaken the auspicious influence of these chosen women?"

"If I'm not mistaken, there must have been other women chosen before me, right?"

Mu Zhian glanced at Huang Manting casually: "Do you know how to suppress the Chosen One?"

"Of course. If I didn't even know what my own weaknesses were, I wouldn't be here making a deal with Young Master Mu now."

Huang Manting braced herself on the edge of the chair with one hand, her knee resting against the front of Mu Zhian's knee, and looked up with a smile, saying, "The great fortune bestowed upon me by Heaven should be able to be directly seized through the innate furnace, right?"

Mu Zhian's eyes flickered slightly, as if he had made a connection to something.

Previously, after Fei Ying became the chosen one, his innate furnace did not initially receive her great fortune. It was only after they became intimate that he seemed to gradually begin to acquire the great fortune bestowed by the Heavenly Dao.

Hmm... does that mean that a naturally born furnace not only gains the 'pseudo' physique of the person it is intimate with, but also has a 'special attack' on the chosen ones selected by the Heavenly Dao?

Of course, since the gender of the innate furnace is already fixed, it is destined that only the great fortune of female chosen ones like Lan Feiying and Huang Manting will be devoured by the innate furnace.
