Chapter 472: Shared Senses with the Heart-Binding Lock! p2
“Why are you here? The guards here are incredibly strict. If they discover you…”
Looking at Mu Zhian walking towards her, Regina lowered her voice as much as possible to remind him. Her cauldron was sealed, and she was no different from an ordinary woman now, naturally unable to transmit her voice.
Mu Zhian said concisely, “Xue Yi also knows I’m here. Or rather, she agreed to let me come find you.”
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Regina looked at him quietly.
From the first time she met Mu Zhian, she knew he was an extremely promiscuous fellow… The connection between her and Mu Zhian was purely because of a deal.
She only accepted Mu Zhian’s deal back then to help her Soul Reading Constitution evolve. She didn’t have any particular feelings for Mu Zhian himself.
But after experiencing the incident of being chased by her own kind in the Jade Pool Holy Land last time, she had a different opinion of Mu Zhian.
She even thought that after Mu Zhian came to the Southern Wilderness in the future, she could use the ‘deal’ as an excuse to keep him in the Southern Wilderness for a while…
But hearing Mu Zhian’s words now, her first reaction wasn’t anger at being betrayed, but an indescribable disappointment, as if her heart had been hollowed out.
Growing up in the Southern Wilderness, for more than twenty years, she didn’t have a single person willing to help her in times of need.
The last person who helped her like this was Mu Zhian.
She had fantasized about this person appearing before her like a divine soldier descending from heaven, just like last time in the Jade Pool Holy Land…
But just as Xue Yi said, Mu Zhian still chose Xue Yi, not her.
“Miss Regina.”
Just then, she suddenly heard a voice transmission in her mind, pulling her back to reality. She subconsciously looked up.
She saw the young man’s gentle and refined, handsome face in her vision, and his eyes gazing quietly at her. For some reason, it gave her an inexplicable sense of reassurance.
Although Mu Zhian deliberately restrained his charming aura, Regina was still involuntarily attracted.
“Do you trust me?” Mu Zhian asked softly.
She nodded silently.
He didn’t choose Xue Yi… Although Mu Zhian didn’t say anything, just looking at his eyes, Regina had this feeling.
Mu Zhian gazed at her for a moment, then smiled gently: “Miss Regina, I would like you to accept Senior Xue Yi’s devouring.”
He spoke without any concealment, his tone very normal and natural, his voice echoing through the hall to the outside.
“I know you’ve been unwilling to accept Senior Xue Yi’s devouring because you still want to live, but I’ve already made an agreement with her. If you accept her devouring, she will preserve your spiritual sense.”
“After that, I will also find a way to rebuild a new body for you.”
Regina was stunned for a moment.
Then, she quickly nodded with a smile.
“…I understand.”
…
After finishing the conversation, Mu Zhian was led by a maid to a vacant guest room to rest.
Mu Zhian casually closed the door, sat down before the antique-style desk, and asked casually, “Jade Empress Sister, how did it go?”
“You guessed correctly, Xue Yi did have a backup plan.”
At some unknown point, the slender green figure had already appeared before the desk. Her left leg crossed over her right, her jade-like, voluptuous legs swaying beneath her green gauze skirt, her tender white feet faintly visible.
“What backup plan?” Mu Zhian looked up at her.
“There are special formations within this Southern Wilderness Divine Hall that strengthen the Southern Wilderness gods.”
“And I confirmed earlier… There seems to be a summoning formation in this divine hall. That’s probably the reason for Xue Yi’s confidence.”
Mu Zhian was stunned: “A summoning formation in the Southern Wilderness Divine Hall…? Could Xue Yi summon a Dao Integration Realm existence from the summoning formation?”
“I’m not sure, but you don’t plan to directly fight Xue Yi anyway, right?” Yao Meng said with a faint smile.
Mu Zhian nodded slightly: “How is Regina?”
“Just as you expected, Xue Yi did something to her. She and Regina’s souls are currently bound together. Even if I intervene, I can’t take Regina out of the Southern Wilderness,” Yao Meng said faintly.
Soul binding, even among Dao Integration Realm experts, this method was quite rare. Plus, Xue Yi was the Space God, and Regina’s hall was enveloped by special techniques. Wanting to take Regina away immediately was almost impossible.
Fortunately, Mu Zhian didn’t plan to directly take Regina away from the start.
After all, there would be a showdown between Regina and Xue Yi sooner or later.
Mu Zhian pondered for a moment, then said, “I might need your help with something.”
Yao Meng glanced at him, a playful tone in her clear and pleasant voice: “You want me to save my love rival? Should I say our Young Master Mu is too kind-hearted, or do you think I’m very generous?”
Mu Zhian reached out, held one of her jade-white feet, gently massaged it, and said with a smile, “I have an agreement with Regina before, so I have to save her no matter what… Besides, compared to Xue Yi, you should also think it would be more beneficial to the Eastern Continent if Regina becomes the Southern Wilderness ruler, right?”
Yao Meng’s breathtakingly beautiful face was lightly made up, her eyes looking at the young man with a smile: “Do you think, for a Transcendence Realm expert like me, the final outcome between Xue Yi and Regina would have any impact on me?”
Just as Mu Zhian was about to speak again, a knock suddenly came from outside the door.
Mu Zhian and Yao Meng exchanged glances. The latter instantly vanished from the room.
“Sister Mengrou? Come in,” Mu Zhian immediately said.
It’s so late, why would she come looking for me now…? Just as Mu Zhian thought of this, he saw the maid in the yellow dress had already pushed open the door and walked in.
“Sister Mengrou, is there something wrong so late at night?” Mu Zhian looked up and smiled.
Wei Mengrou casually glanced around the empty room, then said faintly, “I’m just a bit concerned about what you said to Xue Yi during the day.”
Xue Yi was present during the day, so she couldn’t ask. But she knew the young master’s personality. Logically, he wouldn’t abandon Regina and choose Xue Yi.
Although the Space God’s beauty was indeed captivating, the young master was a smart person. He shouldn’t be fooled by Xue Yi.
“Are you really planning to give up on Regina?” Wei Mengrou asked.
Mu Zhian flipped through the book in his hand at the desk, looked up under the candlelight, and smiled, “Guess?”
Wei Mengrou pouted: “Fine, don’t tell me.”
“Since Sister Mengrou already knows the answer, why ask me again?”
Mu Zhian paused, then said as if suddenly realizing something, “Or perhaps, Sister Mengrou is just looking for an excuse to see me?”
Wei Mengrou’s eyes flickered, and she snorted coldly: “I just want to know what I need to do next.”
“Nothing for now,” Mu Zhian smiled.
“But it might not be the case later.”
The black mist of the Southern Wilderness had a complicated relationship with the Primordial Witch. If he wanted to explore the truth of the Southern Wilderness black mist, he might need the help of Wei Mengrou, the ‘Primordial Witch’.
After chatting idly for a while, Mu Zhian suddenly recalled something and said:
“Right, Sister Mengrou, I recently saw a very interesting storybook, are you interested in reading it?”
Wei Mengrou looked at the young master doubtfully as he picked up a storybook from the desk and handed it to her.
She glanced at it, then couldn’t help but look at the young master with disdain: “Domineering Sect Master Falls in Love with Me…? This really fits your philosophy of eating soft rice.”
Clearly, the proud maid had no interest in this kind of book, even secretly disdaining it.
“Just take a look, you might be interested,” Mu Zhian said with a smile.
Not wanting to reject the young master’s kindness, Wei Mengrou ultimately accepted this ‘boring’ storybook.
As the door closed, Mu Zhian looked down at Yao Meng, who was hiding under the desk, “Jade Empress Sister, have you thought about it?”
“Also, can’t you just hide in my Innate Celestial Furnace?”
“I’ve already told you, I have no reason to run errands for a love rival.”
Yao Meng raised her bright and captivating green eyes. Before the disappointment in Mu Zhian’s eyes could show, her red lips parted slightly, and she said with a smile:
“So, when you want me to do something, you should order me.”
She’s getting better and better at this… Mu Zhian looked down at the Jade Empress’s bright and captivating green eyes beneath the desk, his heart rippling. He said softly, “Then please go to the Sword Palace and borrow Ruoxi’s Heart-Binding Lock for me. I have a great use for it later, and also… hiss, let me finish.”
Mu Zhian shuddered, quickly suppressing his distracting thoughts.
Yao Meng raised her captivating eyes and looked at him: “What do you need the Heart-Binding Lock for?”
“When Ruoxi was still at Core Formation Realm, the Heart-Binding Lock could detect if someone was lying… And after Nascent Soul Realm, the Heart-Binding Lock evolved once, being able to completely share everything it senses with another person.”
Mu Zhian gently stroked Yao Meng’s waterfall-like hair and said softly, “Xue Yi and Regina are essentially the same person. She probably sensed our arrival, so she had no choice but to use soul binding.”
“Now, no one from the outside can directly interfere in their matters. After soul binding, if one is injured, the other will also be severely injured.”
“So we have to let Xue Yi do what she wants.”
Mu Zhian caressed Yao Meng’s flawless face and smiled gently.
“However, it’s not certain who will devour who in the end.”
