On the surface, Mu Zhi'an remained calm as he shook his head, "I swear, I've only ever said this to you." Wei Mengrou's allure was unlike anyone else's. Her previous cold demeanor towards her young master juxtaposed with the affection she displayed now created a stark contrast that no other could replicate. This dramatic shift was one of the reasons Mu Zhi'an found himself so moved. Wei Mengrou snorted, casting a dismissive glance at Mu Zhi'an. Without further explanation, Mu Zhi'an placed a hand on her shoulder, leaned down slightly, and kissed her delicate neck, her charming face, and finally claimed her lips once more. Wei Mengrou's cheeks flushed slightly, clearly uncomfortable. Moments later, Mu Zhi'an released her lips, gazing at Wei Mengrou's flawless face mere inches away, caught between the softness of her body and the urge to speak again. Suddenly, his innate spiritual senses sounded an alarm, a wave of uneasy feelings surged from deep within him. Wei Mengrou sensed something as well, tilting her head slightly to instinctively look towards the door. Someone had entered Tianhe Rest. Ordinarily, Tianhe Rest was protected by a special formation, making it impossible for strangers to enter easily. Meaning, it had to be someone familiar. Without much time to ponder, a familiar, gentle voice came from outside the door behind Mu Zhi'an. "Mu Lang, are you in Sister Mengrou's room?" What?! Mu Zhi'an's heart pounded, and with Wei Mengrou's hand grasping his tightly, he almost couldn't hold back from releasing all the spiritual energy he had been amassing within his innate spiritual furnace. Wei Mengrou's eyes also flickered with a hint of panic as she immediately activated her concealment technique. Noticing the lack of response, Bai Ruoxi tilted her head slightly, confusion evident in her eyes. She then gently raised her hand, poised to push open the door. "Ruoxi, why are you back so soon?" Mu Zhi'an maintained his composure as much as possible, trying to soothe Bai Ruoxi. In his arms, Wei Mengrou's heartbeat quickened, as it never had before, at the unimaginable prospect of being discovered in this situation—especially when helping Mu Zhi'an channel spiritual energy… "We and Jian'er were among the first to achieve ten points, so we passed the martial realm trial ahead of time," Bai Ruoxi's gentle and melodious voice answered from outside. Then she hesitated, "Are you alright, Mu Lang? Your voice sounds a bit… different." Mu Zhi'an glanced at Wei Mengrou and replied, "I'm fine… It's just that I'm preparing to meditate and channel the heavenly qi, so I might sound a bit worn out from all the spiritual energy used." Wei Mengrou listened to their exchange, her heart racing, yet feeling an odd sense of peace in Mu Zhi'an's warm embrace. She instinctively looked up at him. He, too, was looking at her, though his attention was clearly divided, focused on Bai Ruoxi outside. Wei Mengrou bit her lip lightly. For some unfathomable reason, beyond the nervousness and guilt towards Bai Ruoxi, a strange sense of joy crept into her heart. It was a unique feeling called 'pleasure.' As her thighs unconsciously closed together, Mu Zhi'an suddenly shivered, nearly crying out. But then Wei Mengrou swiftly covered his mouth, lifting her eyes to meet his, a hint of disdain in her gaze, as if saying: "Your companion is outside looking for you, yet here you are in the room, getting intimate with your servant… what a fickle man." Is Sister Mengrou trying to kill me? Mu Zhi'an suppressed his excitement, striving to maintain a steady tone, "Oh right, Ruoxi, could you prepare a medicinal bath for me later?" Outside, Bai Ruoxi hesitated, pondering the closed door, "Alright, I'll get it ready." As Bai Ruoxi's footsteps faded away, Mu Zhi'an sighed in relief, "That was close." Fortunately, it was Wei Mengrou with him, so Bai Ruoxi wouldn't overthink it. If it had been Ye Lingxuan, she might have barged in. Turning to Wei Mengrou, he asked helplessly, "Weren't you worried about being discovered?" If Mu Zhi'an hadn't reacted quickly, Bai Ruoxi would've noticed the significant loss of spiritual energy, since they had spent countless nights together. She knew the difference between his ordinary and innate spiritual energy. "You forced me into it, so it's not my fault," Wei Mengrou said coolly. "Could I really force a pinnacle spirit refiner?" Mu Zhi'an retorted skeptically. Despite his words, he had indeed requested her assistance, though he hadn't expected Wei Mengrou to agree. He'd been ready for self-guided meditation, albeit somewhat pitifully. "You've subdued an Empress of the Convergence realm, a pinnacle spirit refiner is nothing," Wei Mengrou's voice carried a hint of mockery. Subdued… Mu Zhi'an's thoughts drifted, his gaze inadvertently falling on Wei Mengrou. Perhaps due to their recent intimacy, her face was now enchantingly flushed, her eyes moist, with traces of lipstick drawing attention to her lips—much of which had already been savored by someone during their kiss. Under Mu Zhi'an's intense gaze, Wei Mengrou lowered her eyes, speaking softly, "Alright, could you let go now?" Realizing he was still holding her tightly, Mu Zhi'an hurriedly released her, muttering a quick "yes." Wei Mengrou gently wiped her hands with a handkerchief, then sensing Mu Zhi'an's gaze again, suppressed her embarrassment and said, "Focus on channeling the heavenly qi out of your body… unless you wish to endure the misfortune of the ill-fated body as well?" Though her tone remained cold, the subtle glimmer in her eyes betrayed her inner tumult. Mu Zhi'an grinned, "Got it." He was already content with what had transpired. Yet, it was still somewhat regrettable. If not for Ruoxi's early return, they might have had more time together. Logically, he should have been the one in control of the situation, but today, it was Wei Mengrou who took the lead—a fact he found hard to accept. Next time, he must seize the right moment to assert himself over Sister Mengrou! Sitting cross-legged at the bedside, he looked at Wei Mengrou, his voice suddenly hopeful, "Sister Mengrou, would there be another chance like this?" "This time was just to help you channel the heavenly qi, don't misunderstand," Wei Mengrou stated, though her tone held a much softer quality than usual. She took a seat on a nearby chair, delicately wiping her fingers with the handkerchief once more. Noticing Mu Zhi'an's seemingly crestfallen expression, her lips curled into a subtle smile. "But, if it's an order from my master… maybe if I'm in a good mood, I might consider it?" --- Bai Ruoxi paced the corridor towards the other rooms. Reaching a corner, she paused, glancing back at the tightly closed door with bright, questioning eyes. Why had Sister Mengrou concealed her presence as I approached the room? Under normal circumstances, Bai Ruoxi wouldn't dwell on this, but Wei Mengrou’s recent actions in the martial realm had drawn her attention… Why had Sister Mengrou hidden her presence earlier? The only explanation was her attempt to avoid being noticed by someone. That someone had to be… For some reason, an unsettling premonition crept into Bai Ruoxi's heart. "Sister Ruoxi, have you found Brother Mu?" Ahead, Ye Qian's voice rang out. She was slower at flying on her sword than Bai Ruoxi, hence her belated arrival. Bai Ruoxi looked at the young girl, speaking gently, "Sister Qian, could I ask you to help me with something?" Ye Qian blinked, "Please tell me, Sister Ruoxi, I’ll try my best." "Mu Lang asked me to prepare a medicinal bath, could you handle that for me?" Bai Ruoxi asked. "I could, but do you have something else that requires your attention?" Ye Qian tilted her head, her eyes filled with a hint of puzzlement. Bai Ruoxi replied softly, "There’s something I need to verify." Handing the jade bottle to Ye Qian, she continued, "You've used these pills before, so I won't need to explain further, right?" As Ye Qian accepted the jade bottle, Bai Ruoxi offered her an elegant and gentle smile, "Thank you, Sister Qian." Ye Qian nodded slightly, watching as Bai Ruoxi, like a ghost, concealed her presence and gracefully walked off in the opposite direction, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. What is Sister Ruoxi up to? --- Bai Ruoxi stepped gracefully to the window, instinctively clenching the hem of her skirt as her heartbeat quickened. She held her breath, then subtly adjusted her breathing, silently praying that her suspicions were unfounded. Surely, someone as proud as Sister Mengrou couldn't possibly be interested in Mu Lang… After all, she used to often ridicule him… Feeling somewhat reassured, Bai Ruoxi gently opened a narrow crack in the window, just enough to see Mu Zhi'an sitting cross-legged on the bed. In that moment, the unease in Bai Ruoxi's heart slowly dissipated. But where is Sister Mengrou…? Her gaze roamed the room, eventually settling on Wei Mengrou, who was bent over, removing her white stockings. Even for someone as beautiful as Bai Ruoxi, the sight of her long, snow-white legs was dazzling. Why is Sister Mengrou wearing the stockings Mu Lang gave her…? This thought flashed through Bai Ruoxi's mind, just before her eyes fixed on the conspicuous stains on the stockings. Looking at Wei Mengrou's face, which was unusually flushed and alluring, Bai Ruoxi felt her mind turn blank with a resounding 'buzz.' At that moment, Wei Mengrou seemed to sense the unusual gaze, turning slightly to look out the window. The two women's eyes met and locked. **Chapter 289: Are There More Than One Reborn?** The room fell into a prolonged silence, broken only by the howling wind and snow. Bai Ruoxi quietly opened the window, her melodious voice reaching Wei Mengrou's ears, "Did I come too early and interrupt your intimacy with Mu Lang?" Her gaze remained as gentle as ever, but upon seeing the slight stains on the stockings, a deeper, colder light flickered in her eyes. Wei Mengrou did not respond immediately. She looked at Bai Ruoxi with a complex expression, as if struggling internally. After a moment, she sighed softly, looking out the window at Bai Ruoxi with a faint smile, "No." "You arrived just on time." In truth, this timing was indeed perfect. Just as Wei Mengrou and Mu Zhi'an's relationship was being confirmed, she had been contemplating whether to keep it a secret from Bai Ruoxi or not. Now that Bai Ruoxi had witnessed this scene, it was a fitting opportunity to explain everything. If Bai Ruoxi had arrived earlier, she might have caught her partner being 'bullied' by a maid, a sight that might have shattered her composure. Had she arrived later, when Wei Mengrou had already cleaned up, this moment would have been lost. Thus, Bai Ruoxi's timing was just right…and it pushed Wei Mengrou to a decision. Under Bai Ruoxi's steady gaze, Wei Mengrou stood and left the room, casting a glance at the meditating young man before gently closing the door. The courtyard was blanketed in a silvery layer of snowflakes, fluttering like butterflies in the wind. Seated at the pavilion, Wei Mengrou brewed a cup of hot tea and set it before Bai Ruoxi. Bai Ruoxi sat elegantly, her hands folded demurely on her lap, exuding the serene grace of a reclusive lady—her cool and gentle demeanor making her even more captivating in the snowy landscape. "If I recall correctly, Sister Mengrou didn't like Mu Lang before, right?" Bai Ruoxi softly began. Wei Mengrou replied coolly, "A fickle and spoiled young master—what's there to like apart from his face, he has no merits." She paused, "That's what I always thought." Lowering her gaze to the wafting steam from her cup, Wei Mengrou murmured, "But somehow, I found myself feeling something for him." "Is it the influence of the Original Witch?" Bai Ruoxi suddenly inquired. Wei Mengrou's previous actions in the martial realm suggested the identity of the Original Witch. Unlike others, Gong Lianyue possessed some of Bai Ruoxi's memories, and as the 'sheath,' Bai Ruoxi naturally also held some of Gong Lianyue's memories. Those memories grew clearer with Bai Ruoxi's increasing strength. --- *Next Chapter: Are There More Reborn?* The snowfall continued to dance outside, completing the serene tableau. **Recommended Reading!** - Wuxia: Infinite Qi and Blood Points, Invincible Jianghu - Me, Quasi Immortal Emperor, Awakening After Thousands of Years to Join a Chat Group - Sailing: Summoning Thunder God, Milk Fragrance One-Slash to Kaido - Three Bodies: I'm a Bug, Bug Zerg! - Crossover: The Infinite Conquest - Konoha: I, Naruto, Will Outdo Everyone Today - Wuxia: Heaven Rewards Diligence, Hunted by Xu Weixiu - Pokémon: Starting in Pallet Town - Konoha: Reviving Uchiha, Starting by Taking Concubines - Zombie: Taking Concubines to Become a Dao Ancestor, Yue Qiluo Pleas for Mercy *Copyright © 2022 Fanfiction Novel All Rights Reserved.*
