Chapter 117: Comparing Backers?
“Although this body constitution is good, it’s a pity that it’s completely useless to me…” Mu Zhian lay in the quilt, one hand hugging Bai Ruoxi’s slender waist, holding her in his arms. He looked at the high beams under the ceiling, feeling tasteless.
“Young Master Mu, now is not the time for us to do this kind of thing, right?” Bai Ruoxi slightly raised her eyelids and looked at this handsome face.
For a long time in the past, Bai Ruoxi extremely disliked Mu Zhian. One reason was that Mu Zhian often frequented the brothels and had some intimate relationships with some top courtesans.
The second reason was that his past “puppy-like” attitude in pursuing her was really getting more and more unpleasant to look at, to the point that she found his handsome face very displeasing.
Otherwise, the first time she begged him for mercy in the carriage, she wouldn’t have despised Mu Zhian so much in her heart.
Probably no one would have thought that the youth she despised in the past would be the one she sincerely loved now.
Mu Zhian turned his head to look at Bai Ruoxi’s pretty face, which was flushed as if drunk. The experience in the room just now made this usually elegant and reserved young lady’s hair look a little messy.
But it didn’t look sloppy, instead adding a sense of messy beauty.
“If we don’t do this kind of thing now, when do we do it?” Mu Zhian smiled.
“Besides… you didn’t seem to say that just now, right?” He leaned close to Bai Ruoxi’s ear and added in a low voice, his words carrying a teasing meaning.
This also made the girl’s eyes involuntarily covered with a layer of mist, lowering her eyelids shyly.
This kind of shy and lovable appearance was hard to see outside on weekdays. Even the disciples of Tianxuan City and the Two Polarities Sect probably wouldn’t think that this woman, who was usually cold and made people feel ashamed just by seeing her face, would show such a clingy little girl’s attitude in bed.
Even though the desire was gone after finishing, seeing the girl’s shy appearance, Mu Zhian still couldn’t help but lean forward and kiss her pretty face that was flushed red.
Then, he gently touched the fox ears on her head with his hand.
“Don’t, don’t touch those ears…” Bai Ruoxi called out shyly, slightly raising her white hand to press down on Mu Zhian’s palm that was rubbing her fox ears on her head.
Mu Zhian then held Bai Ruoxi’s hand and laughed, “I didn’t expect you to really grow fox ears… It’s a pity there’s no tail.”
When he said this, he couldn’t help but sigh.
He had originally been looking forward to what the human form of the “three-tailed fox” would look like.
Bai Ruoxi secretly glanced at him and said, “This is not an interesting joke.”
When she said this, she pressed down on Mu Zhian’s other hand that was messing around in the quilt. She sighed lightly, “If someone sees this appearance, it might affect the inner sect disciple quota…”
“If that’s the case, it can only show that the insight of those head seats is only so-so.” Mu Zhian smiled faintly and hugged the girl’s soft body that was lying on her side facing him in his arms.
He paused and continued, “Can’t you hide your fox ears?”
Logically speaking, if Bai Ruoxi mom could conceal her aura, Bai Ruoxi should be able to do it too.
Bai Ruoxi nodded slightly and said softly, “I can, but it will take at least a day.”
When advancing from the first stage of Spirit Refinement to the second stage, the dantian in the body would expand accordingly, and the bloodline of the three-tailed fox would also be activated a little.
The difference between the Qi Condensation stage and the Spirit Refinement stage was truly a change between heaven and earth, not only in terms of strength but also in the awakening of bloodlines.
Although awakening the power of the three-tailed fox could make one stronger, in the case of such tense relations between human cultivators and demon cultivators, if this power was directly displayed on the surface, it would appear a bit sensitive.
“Young Master Mu, to be honest, will you despise me…?” Bai Ruoxi suddenly asked with some uneasiness, slightly raising her eyelids.
Mu Zhian lowered his head to look at the beauty in his arms. The little girl’s face still had a blush from cultivation, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes were covered with a layer of mist, sparkling in the candlelight.
Mu Zhian couldn’t help but raise his hand to wipe away the water droplets at the corner of Bai Ruoxi’s eyes. He stared into her eyes and smiled, “I’ve said it long ago, for me, this is not something worth despising.”
Could there really be anyone who doesn’t like fox-eared girls?
Moreover, it’s a three-tailed fox!
In the future, if he worked hard, maybe Bai Ruoxi could cultivate to a nine-tailed fox… At that time, she would probably be at the same level as the swallowing heavenly python and that sect master.
With Bai Ruoxi’s talent, it was not impossible for her to reach that realm in the future.
At that time, I should be able to relax and eat soft rice… Mu Zhian couldn’t help but think.
He didn’t have so many strange senses of self-esteem. In the end, being able to eat the soft rice of a beauty, how many people dreamed of that?
This soft rice was fragrant and delicious.
And now, Mu Zhian was just working hard in this direction.
Senior Sister Lan and Ye Lingxuan were also existences with extraordinary talent… He should find a way to give Qian’er some “golden fingers” too…
Mu Zhian had already come to terms with it.
He was indeed a genius hated by the heavens. His talent, to put it bluntly, was a talent that even the heavens were jealous of… But the problem was that the people around him all had the same monstrous talent as him.
Moreover, they also had “golden fingers”.
This was something Mu Zhian didn’t have.
It’s not that he didn’t work hard to obtain golden fingers, but the golden fingers he obtained were simply useless to himself, which made people very helpless.
In a game, Mu Zhian was probably the kind of person who didn’t have strong combat power himself, but could give his teammates crazy experience and equipment as a god-level support.
Moreover, this god-level support himself was also a “golden finger”, mainly used to help the girls around him improve their cultivation.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the “supporting role” on my personal interface changed to “support” or “female lead” or something like that… Mu Zhian inwardly mumbled to himself.
Seeing that there was indeed no trace of disgust on Mu Zhian’s face, not only that, but his gaze looking at her became even more burning, Bai Ruoxi couldn’t help but shyly lower her eyelids and said in a small voice,
“Young Master Mu’s taste is really strange.”
Mu Zhian gently stroked Bai Ruoxi’s hair and lowered his head to look at the beauty’s shy pretty face. He said, “Anyway, you should stay in seclusion in the room these two days, suppress the demonic energy in your dantian first, and then hide these ears.”
When he said this, he gently touched the fox ears on Bai Ruoxi’s head. Seeing her shoulders tremble slightly and twisting her body to resist his hand, he couldn’t help but smile, “Actually, your demonic energy came quite timely.”
Bai Ruoxi slightly raised her eyelids and looked at Mu Zhian, “What does Young Master Mu mean?”
“The Third Prince is investigating me, probably wanting to find my weaknesses.” Mu Zhian said.
“But I don’t have any weaknesses. The only dark history is that I used to frequent the brothels in the past.”
Bai Ruoxi’s eyes darkened a little, and in addition to the infatuation just now, there seemed to be a few traces of a strange light in her eyes when she looked at Mu Zhian.
Speaking of which, Young Master Mu also used to frequent the brothels in the past… It was only later when pursuing me that he began to restrain himself.
But recently, he has been getting close to the Ye sisters and Senior Sister Lan…
Bai Ruoxi didn’t say anything, only lightly hugging Mu Zhian’s back with her slender white hands, burying herself in his arms, slightly closing her eyes.
I feel like the atmosphere is a bit off… Mu Zhian lowered his head to look at the silent Bai Ruoxi and continued, “Anyway, the Third Prince can’t investigate any of my weaknesses, but he might investigate the people around me.”
“He definitely can’t find out about Sister Mengrou’s matter, because her hometown is very, very far away from here… But he should be able to find out about your information.”
“The matter of Ye Yu exposing you as a demon cultivator caused a huge uproar in Tianxuan City before. If he wants to investigate, he can find out in a short time.” Mu Zhian continued.
Bai Ruoxi’s eyes showed a trace of worry and she said softly, “…Then what should we do?”
The previous matter in Tianxuan City, the Mu family’s influence covered the sky with one hand, and Mu Zhian could collude with everyone.
But if the Third Prince used this to make trouble in the Two Polarities Sect…
“The Two Polarities Sect is not such a rigid place. With your talent, they will protect you no matter what, because you are innocent.” Mu Zhian smiled.
“Rather, this is actually a rare opportunity.”
“…Opportunity?” Bai Ruoxi raised her dazed eyes to look at Mu Zhian.
Mu Zhian gently stroked Bai Ruoxi’s smooth face and smiled, “Since someone wants to collect my information and catch my weakness.”
“Then I might as well frankly send all my information to him.”
“No…” Mu Zhian shook his head and said, “Not only my information but also your information, and even the information of Ye Yu exposing you as a demon cultivator before, I’ll send it to him together.”
Bai Ruoxi looked at Mu Zhian with an unbelievable gaze, her small mouth slightly open, and said, “Young Master Mu… What are you planning to do?”
“There is indeed demonic energy in your body, and since there is a possibility of an outburst of demonic energy every time you advance, then we might as well let everyone know that there is “demonic energy” here.”
Mu Zhian paused and continued, “But the person with demonic energy is not you.”
“Then who is it?” Bai Ruoxi subconsciously asked.
“A person who already has demonic energy.” Mu Zhian smiled.
Bai Ruoxi blinked, hesitated for a moment, and then, she seemed to have thought of someone. Her eyes slowly widened, “You mean she—”
Mu Zhian put his finger on Bai Ruoxi’s lips and made a “shh” sound.
Bai Ruoxi hesitated and said, “Will she agree?”
“She doesn’t care about such trivial matters.” Mu Zhian smiled.
“She only cares about what to eat at night.”
The Third Prince? Or the person behind the Third Prince?
No matter who comes to question, whether it’s the head seat or the elder, it’s useless.
Although she won’t actively help, she can be passive… Just like Mu Zhian, sometimes when he’s tired of being active, he will also passively accept Bai Ruoxi’s affection.
“How will you send the information to the Third Prince?” Bai Ruoxi hesitated.
“He will definitely find someone he trusts to collect information, right?”
“Anyone with a normal brain would do this.” Mu Zhian nodded slightly, “I definitely can’t send this information, and the people I know are not suitable, because the other party will be suspicious.”
“However, there is one person who is very suitable to play this role.”
“After all, we are all from Tianxuan City. It’s very normal to help each other. Didn’t her father say the same thing?”
Seeing Bai Ruoxi’s eyes full of confusion, Mu Zhian didn’t explain further, but lowered his head to kiss her lips and covered the quilt.
