Chapter 470: Oh No, I’ve Been Tricked p2

..

That afternoon.

Yao Meng appeared in the Garden of Heavenly Harmony, and beside her was Wei Mengrou, who had been in secluded cultivation comprehending the Dao Rhyme of Nascent Soul Realm for the past two days.

Yao Meng glanced around the courtyard and asked doubtfully, “Where are the Spirit Dragon and the Palace Master?”

“Lin Ling just finished breakfast earlier, she should be at Two Polarities Peak playing Go with the Sect Master.”

“Ruoxi went to the Sword Palace.”

“Sword Palace? Why did she go to the Sword Palace for no reason?” Yao Meng’s eyes held some doubt.

“She wants to rebuild the past glory of the Sword Palace,” Mu Zhian said.

When Gong Lianyue severed her connection with the Heavenly Dao back then, she did leave behind some measures. Several formations were left within the Sword Palace, sealing many Sword Palace disciples and elders within. However, she had been busy with other matters before and didn’t have the time to deal with these things.

“No wonder…” Yao Meng murmured softly.

“Is there something you want to ask me?”

Sensing Mu Zhian’s gaze on her, Yao Meng seemed to realize something and immediately asked.

Sister Jade Empress really understands me… Mu Zhian nodded slightly: “I’ve seen the map of the Nine Provinces, but there’s very little information about the Southern Wilderness on the map. The ‘black mist’ is especially concerning.”

“Regarding the black mist, have you ever heard anything about it? I saw a rumor in an ancient text, saying that once tainted by the Southern Wilderness black mist, ominous things will definitely happen,” Mu Zhian asked humbly.

“I don’t know where the Southern Wilderness black mist technique originates from, but the rumor you mentioned isn’t false.”

Yao Meng paused, glancing at Wei Mengrou intentionally or unintentionally: “The ominousness within that black mist is somewhat similar to the misfortune on Miss Wei. Once tainted, one will be plagued by misfortune.”

“Also… when I go to the Southern Wilderness with you this time, I might have to temporarily reside within your Innate Celestial Furnace,” Yao Meng continued.

Mu Zhian was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and said with a smile, “That’s fine too.”

Yao Meng single-handedly entered the Southern Wilderness and slew the Ocean God earlier. This incident caused a sensation in the Nine Provinces, and the Southern Wilderness also became more wary of the Jade Pool Holy Land.

If Yao Meng openly followed Mu Zhian, it would inevitably arouse the vigilance and awe of the Southern Wilderness cultivators.

This wasn’t beneficial to the purpose of his trip.

Of course, there was another crucial point—

“The Spiritual Energy within the Innate Celestial Furnace is truly wonderful~”

As Yao Meng turned into a streak of green light and entered Mu Zhian’s Innate Celestial Furnace, a heavenly voice echoed leisurely in his mind.

Yes… Yao Meng herself also wanted to experience the wonderful feeling of being completely enveloped by Mu Zhian’s Spiritual Energy within the Innate Celestial Furnace again.

The strengthening of the Innate Celestial Furnace, the Heavenly Court’s Spiritual Energy, and the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox’s charming aura blended together… No woman could resist such wonderful Spiritual Energy.

Even Yao Meng, who cultivated the Dao of Tranquility, was no exception.

“Sister Mengrou, how have you been these past few days? Did you miss me?”

Mu Zhian looked at Wei Mengrou and asked jokingly.

“Seeing you is annoying.”

The maid in the yellow dress maintained her cold demeanor, glancing sideways at the young master.

It was obvious that with Mu Zhian’s slightly unstable Spiritual Energy, he must have been intimate with other girls quite a bit in the Two Polarities Sect recently.

Mu Zhian wasn’t annoyed, but smiled knowingly.

Wei Mengrou was a somewhat tsundere and cold maid. When you teased her, she would only give you a contemptuous look. If you dared to touch her… even if you were her master, she would dare to kick you.

Not like the Primordial Witch at all, who had a bit of a ‘yandere’ potential. Mu Zhian had already experienced it.

So the more she was like this, the more Mu Zhian couldn’t help but want to tease and play tricks on her.

Mu Zhian looked at the maid’s cold demeanor, then suddenly turned pale, covered his mouth, coughed lightly, and swayed.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Wei Mengrou was startled inwardly and immediately stepped forward to support the young master. Seeing his slightly pale face, a hint of heartache flickered in her eyes, “Did something go wrong with your cultivation? You were clearly fine just now…”

“I’m fine, Sister Mengrou, don’t worry, I’ll be fine after resting for a night,” Mu Zhian forced a smile. “I’ll go back to my room now.”

He tried to gently push Wei Mengrou away, but she subconsciously gripped his arm, lowered her head, and said softly, “I… I’ll take you back to your room.”

“No need, I’ll go back myself. Anyway, Sister Mengrou finds my face annoying, so there’s no need to force yourself…” Mu Zhian looked at her and said weakly.

Wei Mengrou pursed her lips, her voice lowering unconsciously, “It’s not really annoying…”

“Then is Sister Mengrou thinking about me?” Mu Zhian asked softly.

“Stop talking nonsense, I’ll take you back to your room.”

Wei Mengrou quickly denied it. Such a shameful thing as missing the young master during seclusion was something she couldn’t possibly admit.

However, Mu Zhian didn’t let her go, gently holding Wei Mengrou’s slightly cool small hand, and said softly, “But I miss Sister Mengrou so much that I can’t sleep at night. If I weren’t so busy recently, I would have wanted to tear open a spatial rift and come find Sister Mengrou immediately.”

Wei Mengrou’s maintained cold demeanor instantly crumbled, her face flushing red. She lowered her head and stammered, “Be… Behave yourself… And I was in seclusion before, you wouldn’t have been able to see me even if you came.”

“Even if I waited outside, just sensing your aura would make me happy,” Mu Zhian said softly.

Wei Mengrou fell silent, her face flushed with a captivating blush, like a flustered little deer. She had heard the young master say such direct and affectionate confessions to other women many times before, but when it was her turn, she still felt incredibly shy.

…But more than that was the uncontrollable shyness and joy surging in her heart.

Then, Wei Mengrou quickly snapped out of her trance and realized the young master’s ‘weak’ state was completely gone, his gaze now teasing.

“You were just tricking me?” she finally realized.

“I was tricking you.”

Mu Zhian was very frank, holding her small hand, and said softly, “But I wasn’t lying about missing you.”

Thanks to her concern and his genuinely weakened state from the past few days… otherwise, he really wouldn’t have been able to fool the maid.

Wei Mengrou struggled slightly, then let Mu Zhian hold her hand, lowering her head slightly, the coldness on her face gradually turning into shyness.

Time passed silently. After a long while, Wei Mengrou finally left the young master’s embrace, somewhat unsatisfied.

“You’re going to the Southern Wilderness, it shouldn’t be just to complete your deal with Regina, right?” Wei Mengrou asked with a hint of suspicion.

“Naturally not.”

Mu Zhian shrugged: “The Three Pillar Gods of the Southern Wilderness have all fallen, and the entire Southern Wilderness is currently undergoing a major reshuffle. The constant friction between the Southern Wilderness and the Eastern Continent in the past was largely due to the Three Pillar Gods… Therefore, it would be best if the next ruler of the Southern Wilderness is someone friendly towards the Eastern Continent.”

“You mean… Regina?” Wei Mengrou murmured softly.

Mu Zhian had saved Regina’s life before, and their relationship was already special. If, after the great upheaval in the Southern Wilderness, Regina became the new Southern Wilderness Empress… it would indeed be better for the future Eastern Continent.

After all, if Regina became the Southern Wilderness Empress, Mu Zhian would become the link between the Southern Wilderness and the Eastern Continent.

And the only uncertain factor in making Regina the Southern Wilderness Empress was the Space God, Xue Yi.

The combat power of the Southern Wilderness Heretic Gods was extremely exaggerated, but even the most powerful great powers couldn’t escape the end of their lifespans.

Even the Sky God, the only one still at the Dao Integration Realm, was actually nearing the end of his lifespan.

And the Space God’s combat power was said to far surpass the Three Pillar Gods of the Southern Wilderness… Even injured, she was still an extremely dangerous existence.

“So that’s why you asked the Jade Empress to go with you?”

Wei Mengrou murmured thoughtfully, then looked up and said, “I’ll go with you too.”

She didn’t know what the young master was planning to do, but wherever he went, she would go. This was a rule already established in the past.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly, then awakened Yao Meng within his Innate Celestial Furnace.

“I’ll have to trouble Jade Empress Sister to take us to the Southern Wilderness,” Mu Zhian said.

Yao Meng discreetly glanced at Wei Mengrou’s still slightly flushed face, then looked at Mu Zhian calmly, narrowing her eyes and smiling, “That’s no problem, but where in the Southern Wilderness do you plan to go first?”

Mu Zhian smiled, “The Southern Wilderness Divine Hall.”

“Since we’re going to the Southern Wilderness, we should at least visit some acquaintances, right?”
