Chapter 485: Wei Mengrou: Planting Seeds for Later p2
“According to the bamboo slip, in the early days of antiquity, there was a suspected quasi-immortal existence. Her strength was so powerful that it made even the Heavenly Dao tremble, to the point that the Heavenly Dao almost broke the rules of heaven and earth to perish together with the quasi-immortal.”
“However, the quasi-immortal, taking pity on all beings, didn’t want her fight with the Heavenly Dao to cause devastation to the Nine Provinces, so she used the entire Nine Provinces as a formation, sealing her true body somewhere within the Nine Provinces, thus falling into a deep slumber.”
After temporarily bidding farewell to Yan Ruyu, Mu Zhian sat in the courtyard of the Garden of Heavenly Harmony, reading the bamboo slip, but couldn’t help feeling it was somewhat absurd.
“Sister Mengrou, do you think the records on this are credible?” Mu Zhian collected his thoughts, threw the bamboo slip on the table, and looked at Wei Mengrou beside him.
Wei Mengrou gently shook her head: “I don’t believe it.”
She paused: “But I think Gu Buxing wouldn’t build an altar for no reason. It’s better to be careful.”
The Seven-Colored Altar was usually used for sacrificial rituals in the Nine Provinces, and some heretic cultivators also used it to summon ‘lost souls’.
Gu Buxing had used special techniques to summon a wisp of the Primordial Witch’s spiritual sense before.
“That’s true… But there’s one more thing I’m curious about.”
Mu Zhian looked at the bamboo slip on the table and said softly, “Who exactly wrote these records? This bamboo slip is made of Epoch Bamboo, it won’t decay even after ten thousand years… Judging from this, the person who wrote these records must have lived at least tens of thousands of years ago.”
“Why did this bamboo slip end up in the Great Qian Dynasty?”
“The Great Qian Dynasty was built upon the ruins of countless dynasties. This bamboo slip has been preserved in the libraries of those dynasties since the past. Because it’s not easily damaged, preserving it isn’t difficult,” Wei Mengrou said faintly.
How does Sister Mengrou know so much…? Mu Zhian glanced at Wei Mengrou. Noticing the silver light flowing in her beautiful eyes, he understood: “The Lustful Witch told you?”
Wei Mengrou hummed softly in agreement.
The Lustful Witch had just returned to her cauldron two days ago, and after returning, she merged with another Primordial Witch spiritual sense. The Primordial Witch’s current strength was unfathomable, even unbound by the rules of heaven and earth.
“So, the records in this bamboo slip are likely true?”
Mu Zhian pondered, looking at the bamboo slip.
“What’s wrong? Did you think of something?”
As expected of the maid who always followed Mu Zhian, Wei Mengrou saw his silence and knew what he was thinking, immediately asking.
“Sister Mengrou, do you feel the records on this are somewhat similar to some things we’ve heard before?” Mu Zhian suddenly asked softly.
A quasi-immortal from the early days of antiquity, a forbidden being who shook the Nine Provinces, feared by the Heavenly Dao… then sealed herself.
Just the term ‘quasi-immortal’ alone was enough to make this information seem absurd.
Mu Zhian’s first reaction upon seeing the bamboo slip was also disbelief.
But after recalling some of his past experiences, Mu Zhian thought of a possibility.
Wei Mengrou’s eyes flickered, and she looked up at Mu Zhian: “You mean… the other ‘me’ sealed in the depths of the Southern Wilderness?”
Mu Zhian nodded slightly.
He still remembered the shocking scene he saw in the black box’s grotto-heaven.
The Heavenly Dao transformed its origin into an arrow, piercing the Primordial Witch’s chest, suppressing her in the depths of the Southern Wilderness, causing the Southern Wilderness to be shrouded in black mist year-round, all life withering wherever the black mist passed.
Was Gu Buxing building the altar for her?
Just as Mu Zhian was thinking, a fluctuation suddenly came from the formation outside the Garden of Heavenly Harmony.
“It’s Lingxuan and the others. Sister Mengrou, go and welcome them in.”
Mu Zhian sensed the newcomers, his brows raising slightly. He turned to look at Wei Mengrou.
“They probably just returned to the sect, right? Their hearts are truly set on you.”
Wei Mengrou glanced at the young master disdainfully, turned, and gracefully left the courtyard.
After a while, two young girls appeared in his vision. One wore a classic and exquisite purple dress, her face lightly made up, exuding a youthful and innocent charm.
Ye Qian wore a light blue dress, her beautiful eyes looking at Mu Zhian expectantly, holding a small food box in her hand.
“This is the snack Sister and I made for Brother Mu before coming. Brother Mu can enjoy it after tiring yourself from cultivation.”
She came to Mu Zhian’s side, her face slightly red, and placed the spiritual pastries made with medicinal herbs on the table.
Nascent Soul Realm cultivators had already reached the inedia(not needing to eat) stage, so food was optional.
But occasionally indulging in snacks to relax was quite nice.
Just like a certain natural foodie dragon, even after reaching Dao Integration Realm, she still craved snacks every day.
“Although Young Master can enjoy many snacks every day, thank you both for your kindness,” the black-bellied maid said with a bright, ice-breaking smile, her voice cool.
During this time, Ye Lingxuan wasn’t at the sect, and Lan Feiying was still in secluded cultivation in the ancestral land, so they didn’t know how ‘unscrupulous’ the young master had been.
Although she didn’t care who the young master was intimate with, she still wanted to remind these two sisters: This guy is a playboy, don’t forget.
Ye Lingxuan was quite a clever girl. Hearing this, she immediately looked at Mu Zhian suspiciously: “Brother Mu is always at the sect, where did you get snacks to eat?”
Mu Zhian coughed lightly: “Lin Ling… Senior Spirit Dragon occasionally brings me some snacks when she returns from foraging.”
Ye Lingxuan pursed her lips and glanced at the young man: “Senior Spirit Dragon is very kind to Brother Mu, but she wouldn’t give you all her snacks, would she?”
Mu Zhian was silent for a moment: “Mmm… Senior Sister Lan also occasionally brings me some pastries.”
“It’s not just bringing pastries, is it? Senior Sister Lan has always had feelings for Brother Mu…” Ye Qian looked at Mu Zhian with sparkling eyes.
“She probably did other things after bringing pastries…”
Why is Sister Qian’er so good at imagining things…? Mu Zhian said helplessly, “By the way, where’s Senior Ye? I don’t see her. Didn’t she come back with you?”
“After Mother learned we were at the Ye Clan, she sent someone to Tianxuan City to invite Ancestor to the Forbidden Zone as a guest. Considering we’ll also be going to the Forbidden Zone later, she went ahead to see some old acquaintances.”
As Ye Lingxuan spoke, a hint of helplessness appeared in her eyes.
After the Forbidden Zone separated from the Ye Clan, seeing the Ye Clan decline but not intervening, although Ye Qingxin didn’t express any dissatisfaction with the Forbidden Zone, her going to the Forbidden Zone this time might cause some trouble.
“He changed the subject again…” Wei Mengrou silently watched this scene and couldn’t help but give Mu Zhian a sideways glance.
The young master wasn’t good at anything else, but his methods of diverting attention were becoming increasingly skillful.
However, Ye Lingxuan currently didn’t know that during the time the young master was away from the sect, not only was his relationship with the Spirit Dragon unclear, but even his relationship with the Sect Master was ambiguous…
This Forbidden Zone imperial daughter usually looked like an elegant young lady, but she actually had quite a bit of possessiveness…
Once she became the Forbidden Zone Empress in the future, if she found out that her beloved Brother Mu had been secretly multi-tasking and raising several great white sharks without her knowing… by then, Ye Lingxuan might not be the obedient girl who nestled in Mu Zhian’s arms and called him ‘Brother Mu’ sweetly anymore.
After all, besides the Two Polarities Sect, the Forbidden Zone had the deepest foundation.
If they really wanted to take someone away quietly, it wouldn’t be difficult.
However, she was too lazy to remind the young master. Anyway, no matter where he was, she could find him.
Ye Lingxuan naturally didn’t know what Wei Mengrou was thinking. Hearing Mu Zhian praising the deliciousness of the pastries, and sensing his burning gaze, she felt somewhat shy, completely forgetting what happened just now.
“Qian’er and I still need to go to Dao Peak and inform Master, so we won’t disturb Brother Mu any longer.”
After saying that, Ye Lingxuan put down the food box and left, holding her sister’s hand.
“Sister Mengrou, it seems I’m one step closer to my dream of eating soft rice.”
Mu Zhian looked at the two young girls’ beautiful figures and sighed inwardly: “Sister Lingxuan’s chest seems to have developed quite a bit.”
“This is your dream, eat it.”
Wei Mengrou opened the food box. The fragrance of the spiritual pastries wafted through the air, faint rays of light appearing before their eyes. If mortals ate such pastries, their lifespans could be extended by at least ten years. It was easy to imagine that the ingredients were prepared by Ye Lingxuan, this little rich woman.
“Sister Lingxuan and Sister Qian’er’s cooking skills seem quite good. Sister Mengrou, why don’t you ask them for advice sometime and make some for me next time?”
Mu Zhian picked up a pastry from the food box, took a bite, and couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.
Wei Mengrou glanced at him: “If you like it so much, just have them make it for you every day.”
“Oh… Maybe you can eat it every day after you go to the Forbidden Zone next time.”
Wei Mengrou paused, then added, “In the basement.”
Mu Zhian looked at Wei Mengrou unexpectedly and couldn’t help but smile, “Sister Mengrou, are you jealous? No matter what, you’re the only maid by my side, this won’t change.”
I’m not jealous, I’m just stating a possibility… Wei Mengrou said silently in her heart.
Too many things had happened while Mu Zhian was away from the sect. If Ye Lingxuan learned about them one by one, it might be fine.
But if these things were all combined and then detonated at once…
For example, telling the reincarnation of the Reincarnated Empress: Your Brother Mu slept with the Spirit Dragon, the Daughter of the Great Dao.
Ye Lingxuan would probably be shocked, but not to the point of being unable to bear it.
Then, while she was at it, adding: Not only that, your Brother Mu also suppressed your respected and admired Sect Master Sister.
By the way, your sister buff is also gone, because he also suppressed your Senior Sister Lan and Sister Feiying.
When he went to the Demon Realm before, he was also taken by the Demon Empress.
Mmm… If I wanted to, I could make the young master die right now.
Wei Mengrou looked at the young master, who seemed to be enjoying the pastries, and couldn’t help but purse her lips, suppressing the sneer that almost escaped.
“Sister Mengrou, please help me deliver some pastries to Two Polarities Peak later.”
Just as Mu Zhian finished speaking, he looked at Wei Mengrou in surprise, “What’s wrong? Why are you smiling so strangely?”
He felt that the maid was plotting something.
“You’re the one smiling strangely.”
Wei Mengrou glanced at the young master indifferently, “If Gu Buxing building the altar really is to summon her… are you planning to stop him?”
“Not yet.”
Mu Zhian handed the food box to Wei Mengrou and couldn’t help but smile, “Let’s play with him for a while.”
