Though the figure within the dark fog was indistinguishable, it was clear that this entity was here to protect Mu Zhian. This realization allowed her heart to find a semblance of peace. Staring at the golden avatar’s immense hand, Wei Mengrou slowly closed her eyes. And just as they were about to close completely, she caught a glimpse of the beauty within the black fog. Huang Manting! Suddenly, a gentle and melodious voice whispered in Wei Mengrou's ear: "This departure between you and him may last more than a decade. Since you can't meet in the short term, why not let him return with me to the Demon Realm first? "I will take good care of him in your stead." Typically, Wei Mengrou would ignore such provocations, but she knew well that if she returned with Gu Boxian to the Grand Qi Dynasty, she might not see him for a long stretch. Though it might not trouble her, she did vow to Mu Zhian’s parents that she would look after him... Wei Mengrou’s thoughts suddenly interrupted. In her eyes, she saw Huang Manting gently place her hand on Mu Zhian’s cheek, her black-clad beauty softly caressing his face, and then a moist, warm kiss enveloped his lips entirely. Time seemed to halt at that moment. Wei Mengrou’s eyes revealed a hint of confusion, as if questioning the significance of such an action. And then, like a needle pricking lightly, she felt a faint sting in her heart. In that instant, she stood amidst a whirl of light and shadow, a voice lingering at her ear, saying something she couldn’t quite hear, as her vision gradually blurred. She then saw numerous unfamiliar scenes... all events unfolding in the Martial World—Mu Zhian requesting the Qi of Heaven from her, which she granted. Then... the image shifted, and once again, Mu Zhian asked her for the Qi of Heaven... This sequence replayed nearly twenty times. After a brief stupor, she slowly raised her head and gazed at the youthful figure within the black fog. It was a fleeting glance, yet it felt like it spanned from millennia past to the present. She had awaited Mu Zhian for millennia. At that moment, the primordial witch’s consciousness quietly seized control. Boom! From beneath the heavens, a pillar of light far surpassing Mu Zhian’s prior dark glow descended, piercing through the sky and earth alike. Wei Mengrou's eyes shone with a brilliance as resplendent as the stars. As Gu Boxian's mountainous hand approached, she remained poised, stepping leisurely past him. Time seemed to freeze for the world—Wei Mengrou, seemingly meandering through a serene garden, stepping onto invisible stairs, walked into the black fog, and then, holding Mu Zhian’s hand, brought him back with her. Drip, drip... It was only then that time seemed to resume its flow, with Gu Boxian's eyes filled with terror, the Demon Realm queen's curious gaze, and the slackened expressions of distant cultivators—all reentering motion. Mu Zhian’s fingers instinctively touched his lips, still feeling the leftover warmth and slight moistness from the Demon Realm queen’s kiss. It wasn’t an illusion—the Demon Realm queen had indeed kissed me... But why am I now beside Sister Mengrou...? Mu Zhian looked subconsciously at Wei Mengrou, and upon beholding her eyes glistening like stars, a thought flashed through his mind: The primordial witch?! From a distant summit, Tang Sufi shivered, eyes locked on Wei Mengrou’s figure. So it’s her! She's the primordial witch! Almost as if sensing Mu Zhian’s gaze, Wei Mengrou slightly turned to look at him, her previously cold stare now carrying an emotion unseen before. "You've worked hard before," her clear and pleasant voice whispered at his ear, but it stirred a subtle doubt within Mu Zhian's heart. "Worked hard...?" Quietly she spoke: "Suppressing my Qi of Heaven within you without respite—wasn't it arduous?" Sensing Mu Zhian’s incredulous expression, Wei Mengrou raised her right hand, fingers curving, then flicked at Gu Boxian’s golden avatar nearby through the air. Boom! The golden avatar shattered thoroughly, the ground beneath rupturing with a deafening roar, leaving a deep, fathomless crater. Afterward, she cupped Mu Zhian’s face, a faint smile gracing her lips as she whispered near his ear. "Now that you've made me like this, will you take full responsibility?" Chapter 285: The Maid Elopes 4.5K The primordial witch is Wei Mengrou... Though Mu Zhian had already learned this from the witch herself, he had always nursed slight disbelief in his heart. Because their personalities were so starkly different. Simply put, Wei Mengrou was like a proud, icy maid, while the primordial witch was completely another persona. With such contrasting characters, if you told him they were the same person before, Mu Zhian would never have believed it. Yet now, Wei Mengrou's demeanor and reactions compelled him to believe. "Are you now Sister Mengrou or the primordial witch...?" Mu Zhian inquired with difficulty. Wei Mengrou gazed at the youth before her, lifting her fingers to gently press against Mu Zhian's lips, while in full view of many watchful eyes, her other slender hand rested on his chest. Then, stepping forward slightly, her voluptuous and enticing figure pressed snugly against Mu Zhian. The slender jade finger tracing Mu Zhian’s lips elegantly moved, and in her eyes gazing at him was a grievance seldom seen before. "Whether it's her or me, aren't we the same person? Does it truly matter who it is?" As she spoke, she tilted her head somewhat, feigning innocence: “Hmm... or is it that, more than me, you prefer your Sister Mengrou?” If it were just the two of them, Mu Zhian might have said, 'I want both,' but with so many eyes, including Bai Ruoxi, the Ye sisters, his senior sister, and Sister Fei Ying, watching him, he naturally had to maintain some restraint. Ultimately, the current Wei Mengrou wasn't her true self, and if she recalled anything later, realizing what she'd done in front of everyone, she'd likely be mortified... Gazing at the primordial witch, exhibiting a personality completely unlike Wei Mengrou, Mu Zhian was about to speak. At that moment, a flash of golden light swept across the ground; Gu Boxian, clutching his chest, transformed into a stream of light and darted towards the Martial World's exit, his heart pounding with dread. Ordinarily, even if someone held a blade to his throat, he wouldn’t believe a Refining God Realm female cultivator could be linked to the primordial witch. Is the body of misfortune actually Wei Mengrou, too—the primordial witch?! The speculation left Gu Boxian trembling in terror. He frequently divined future events, usually having some sense of what was to come, but the current situation was entirely beyond his predictions. Had he acted decisively and seized Wei Mengrou earlier, he might have discovered the presence of the primordial witch within her from the start. However, his initial judgment erred... Mistakenly identifying Mu Zhian as the misfortune body, he took a huge risk trying to capture him and bring him back to the Grand Qi Dynasty, inadvertently drawing in the Demon Realm queen... And now, the primordial witch had awakened from her slumber... Recalling the bizarre powers the primordial witch exhibited earlier, Gu Boxian completely lost the will to fight, desperately fleeing towards the Martial World's exit. The primordial witch didn't pursue; to her, a Void Return Realm practitioner was merely an ant, and she could settle scores later. Besides, her current state didn't allow for much action anyway. She raised her eyes towards the black fog above, seemingly seeing through it to the Demon Realm queen beyond. "Why did you help him?" Just moments ago smiling sweetly, now, with cold demeanor and ice-cold voice, the primordial witch seemed to revert to Wei Mengrou. The Demon Realm queen, gazing high down at the young man below, said with a slight curve of her lips, her voice echoing only in the primordial witch’s ears: "He belongs to my side; naturally, I couldn't just stand by." "Your side?" the primordial witch cast a casual glance at Mu Zhian, her gentle, melodious voice queried: "Since when does the Demon Realm queen pay so much attention to a Refining God Realm cultivator?" "Besides..." she paused, continuing, "he isn't really your side's person." Their voices, carried through enchantment, resounded in the space, with others unable to hear them. But Mu Zhian, being right next to the primordial witch, heard their exchange clearly. The Demon Realm queen’s gaze fixed on Mu Zhian, her lips curling into a captivating, seductive smile. "Whether or not he belongs to my side is not for you to determine," the Demon Realm Queen retorted. "However, this time, I am fulfilling someone else's request," she added. Someone else's request...? Mu Zhian's eyes flickered, picking up on a sensitive phrase. Was the Demon Realm Queen here in the Martial World at the behest of someone else, helping him escape Gu Boxian's clutches during the confrontation? But that didn't fully explain it—he had attempted nearly twenty retries, finally managing to suppress Wei Mengrou's Qi of Heaven within himself. It seemed implausible that someone would know exactly how many attempts he'd make, then orchestrate the Demon Realm Queen's timely intervention. As Mu Zhian's mind whirled with these thoughts, a sudden surge from the black Qi of Heaven within his innate cauldron made it seem like it was ready to break free from his body. His expression shifted slightly, and he promptly channeled his spiritual energy to forcefully keep the Qi of Heaven suppressed within him. Yet, black luminescence sporadically emanated from his body despite his efforts. The Demon Realm Queen cast a sidelong glance at Mu Zhian. "It appears he's close to losing his ability to contain that Qi of Heaven." The primordial witch softly interjected, "I will extract the Qi of Heaven from his body." The Qi of Heaven Wei Mengrou obtained was extraordinarily unique, and since Mu Zhian was barely containing it, if left inside him, it could evoke a second heavenly punishment from the Dao. "Let's return to the Liangyi Sect first," the primordial witch suggested. Mu Zhian, straining to control the Qi of Heaven, glanced at Bai Ruoxi and the others nearby, then shared a look with the primordial witch before nodding gently. Previously, numerous cultivators had perished in the tribulation pit, leaving some tokens behind. Gathering those tokens, even if it yielded only a small increment from each fallen cultivator, was enough for him to pass the Martial World trial. More pressing than the trial, however, was Mu Zhian's concern over Wei Mengrou's current state. The Demon Realm Queen cast a deep look at the figures departing before waving her hand and vanishing into black fog from the area. Huang Manting's identity had to remain concealed for the time being. With their departure, the cultivators in the region sighed in relief, only now realizing the cold sweat soaking their backs. The advisor to the Grand Qi Dynasty attempted to seize the body of misfortune but was thwarted by mysterious powerful beings, with a second apparent powerhouse intervening to whisk Mu Zhian away afterward. The spread of this news would likely stir all of Jiuzhou to a frenzy. Why would a mere Refining God Realm cultivator warrant the attention and intervention of three great powers? In no time, the name Mu Zhian began to circulate within the Martial World... Bai Ruoxi gazed toward the direction Mu Zhian had departed, a trace of worry shadowing her gentle eyes. Ye Lingxian, her face serene yet pure, maintained her composure, though a hint of unease lingered as she stared into the sky. "Sister, let's quickly gather enough points and regroup at the Tianhe Garden," Ye Qian turned to her sister, seeking her opinion. If it were the previous Wei Mengrou, there wouldn't be much cause for worry here. But the recent actions toward Mu Zhian, her tender gestures and gazes, seemed distinctly different from what they had been. This odd behavior naturally drew some interest. ... Mu Zhian did indeed harbor deep affection for Wei Mengrou. Even back when he was an arrogant young master, he couldn't resist admiring Sister Mengrou's legs; yet each time he drew near, he'd be met with her disdainful, scornful glances. Though she eventually reconsidered her opinion of him, Wei Mengrou remained consistent in her treatment, aware of the young master's capricious nature. In truth, Mu Zhian never minded. There was a peculiar thrill in being looked down upon, much like an insignificant bug by such a lofty figure as the maid lady... But today, their relationship had shifted into something far more intimate than in the past... ### Tianhe Garden Wei Mengrou stood with her back to Mu Zhian, dressed in a yellow dress that draped gracefully over her delicate frame. Since stepping into the room, Wei Mengrou had remained silent, her reasons unknown. "Sister Mengrou, are you the primordial witch now, or... are you yourself?" Mu Zhian finally broke the silence. #### Table of Contents First Chapter Previous Chapter 308/718 Next Chapter Last Chapter Previous: No One Knows Better How to Be a Villain Next: Integrated Anime: Becoming a Superhero at the Start Recommended Reading!
