Chapter 5 Bathing
The moonlight shines through the window into the room. Behind the curtain, there is a wooden basin made of sandalwood, which exudes a fragrance.

The water in the basin has already been mixed with medicinal herbs, which is most suitable for dredging muscles and bones and massaging the skin.

At this time, a young girl took off her clothes, revealing her snow-white skin, which shone lightly under the faint moonlight. She stepped into the bathtub, and the water temperature was moderate. After practicing for a day, her somewhat tired body was best relieved at this moment.

Leaning against the edge of the basin, Mu Zi's hand gently stroked her skin, her mind still recalling the experience just now.

It was her first time learning martial arts, and she mastered Tongbeiquan in just one afternoon. She even broke through its limits with the help of the Samsara Seal. If other people knew about this, they might think she was a monster.

"It's better to keep a low profile."

The girl stretched her body in the water. Although she was just beginning to develop, she had already begun to take shape. At this moment, under the effect of buoyancy, her shoulders felt a lot more relaxed.

Recalling the state when the Samsara Seal was just activated, Mu Zi fell into deep thought.

At that time, she felt that the whole world seemed to have quieted down, her mind was working extremely fast, and the problems that usually troubled her were solved. Her perception was also greatly improved, and she could feel the flow of power in her body.

Moreover, that kind of meticulous control over his own body is far beyond usual.

"But what's with that emotionless state?"

Mu Zi still remembered the situation when she activated the Samsara Seal. At that time, she seemed to have no emotions at all. Although she still retained her own judgment of right and wrong, it was more like observing everything from the perspective of a bystander.

Logically speaking, a reincarnator would not necessarily become indifferent after awakening.

Mu Zi is not the Ice Lord, nor was she a patient with emotional deficiency disorder in her previous life. Activating the reincarnation seal should not turn her into an iceberg.

Jiang Yinyin, the Lord of Life and Death in the original novel, is a good example.

Thinking carefully about the situation at that time, Mu Zi suddenly realized something.

Perhaps it was not simply a loss of emotion, but a state of extreme rationality, focusing on her own goals without any distractions. This allowed her to use her thinking to the extreme, and perhaps this was the source of her powerful understanding.

"This state seems familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before."

Carefully recalling the memories of my previous life, a flash of inspiration came to me.

"Supreme Heart Demon Sutra!"

She remembered the source of this familiar feeling, which was not in the Tianxuan Continent, but in the world.

Muchen, the protagonist of the Great Thousand Worlds, once obtained an ancient inheritance, which is the Supreme Demon Heart Sutra.

In the original novel, when Muchen performed the Supreme Heart Demon Sutra, he entered a state of small heart demon. In this state, he had absolute rationality, could block all external interference, and perfectly use every bit of his own strength.

It is worth mentioning that in the original novel, Muchen only got a fragment of the Supreme Heart Demon Sutra. It is said that the ancient Thunder God Palace Master practiced the complete Supreme Heart Demon Sutra. With this, he was able to compete with the existence of the Heavenly Supreme level with the cultivation of a half-step Heavenly Supreme.

This is extremely unbelievable. You have to know that everyone below the Heavenly Supreme is an ant. Even the protagonist Muchen, when he was at the Great Perfection of the Earthly Supreme, mastered two of the thirty-six peerless magical powers, but he was still at a disadvantage when fighting against the Blood Demon Emperor, the incomplete Heavenly Supreme.

It is hard to imagine that just relying on a Supreme Demon Heart Sutra, one can truly compete with the Supreme Lord of Heaven.

If this is true, then the level of the complete Supreme Demon Heart Sutra is probably at least equivalent to the thirty-six peerless magical powers, or even higher.

Not to mention these, the state of opening the Supreme Demon Heart Sutra is somewhat similar to when Mu Zi opened the Samsara Seal.

Mu Zi's eyes flickered, somewhat uncertain.

“Maybe they’re just similar.”

It was useless to think about it now. Mu Zi would not give up using the Samsara Seal just because she was worried about the possible cause and effect. After all, this was her biggest reliance at the moment.

"But I really have to use it sparingly."

When I was practicing martial arts before, I used the Samsara Seal. It was refreshing, but it consumed all the energy in the Samsara Seal. It seems that I will need to rely on spiritual medicine to replenish it afterwards.

Thinking of this, Mu Zi felt a little distressed.

"What a money-eating beast!"

"Forget it. We'll work it out when the time comes. Why think so much?"

The girl stopped thinking and concentrated on bathing. Suddenly, the door was opened.

Mu Lingsha walked in wrapped in a bathrobe and glanced at Mu Zi's body in the bathtub.

Mu Zi's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.

"Sister, what are you doing in here? I'm taking a shower!"

Mu Lingsha walked up to Mu Zi with a smile on her face. "Of course I'll wash with you. It's so inconvenient to wash alone."

Mu Zi was a little embarrassed. This was the first time she had a frank conversation with her elder sister after awakening her memories of her past life.

Seeing her reaction, Mu Lingsha felt amused and teased, "You little girl, you are still shy. I have been washing you for all these years."

Since Mu Yun was a widower, Mu Lingsha had been taking care of all the private matters in Mu Zi's life since she grew up. She had always been accustomed to the fact that her elder sister was like a mother. However, after awakening her memories of her past life, Mu Zi was no longer just an innocent girl. She could no longer remain indifferent to Mu Lingsha, who was only a few years older than her.

Mu Zi hesitated, her voice so low that it was inaudible: "I have grown up."

"Oh?" Mu Lingsha raised the corner of her mouth dangerously, "Where has it grown? Let me see!" As she said that, she was about to reach out to touch Mu Zi's body.

Mu Zi was horrified, her eyes widened and she shouted, "Sister, don't!"

However, her body was placed in the bathtub, and facing Mu Lingsha's "claws", her resistance was futile.

Mu Lingsha used her hands to grope all over Mu Zi's body, kneading it from time to time, causing the latter to squeeze out a faint sound from the corner of her mouth.

Mu Zi wanted to fight back, but unfortunately in front of the power of the eighth level of Body Tempering, the ant of the third level of Body Tempering could only be suppressed.

"Wait for me to break through!" Mu Zi gritted his teeth. Never before had his desire to become stronger been so strong.

"Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river. Don't bully young people into poverty!"

After some fun, Mu Lingsha withdrew her mischievous hands.

"Okay, stop messing around. Put your hair up and I'll help you take a bath."

"Hmph!" Mu Zi snorted coldly and said in a warning tone: "Then you wash well and don't do anything else!"

Mu Lingsha laughed heartily and nodded, "I know, hurry up and put it up!"

Hearing this, Mu Zi no longer cared and lifted up her thick black hair with her hands, revealing her smooth back. Mu Lingsha stopped playing tricks and began to help her wash seriously.

Mu Zi trembled slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable. But feeling Mu Lingsha's meticulous attitude, she finally relaxed.

"Look at you, your arms are red." Mu Lingsha whispered.

After practicing martial arts for an entire afternoon, even though Mu Zi had a high level of comprehension, some marks were inevitably left on her body. At this moment, on her jade-white skin, there were several red marks looming.

Mu Lingsha rubbed it gently with her fingers. Against the backdrop of her bronze fingers, Mu Zi's skin looked even whiter.

Feeling the touch on her back, Mu Zi was somewhat silent. When their skins touched, she could feel that Mu Lingsha's fingers were a bit rough.

Mujiazhuang is not isolated from the outside world. In addition to selling some timber and minerals, the main source of income for the manor is to take on some escort business. And escorting is naturally accompanied by danger. Perhaps one day, Mujiazhuang will be wiped out by some bandit forces.

With weak strength, one will naturally be in danger of losing one's life at any time.

However, there are no people with outstanding talents in Zhuangzi, and Mu Lingsha is the most talented young person in the past ten years.

She must have been practicing very hard these years, hoping to shoulder the burden of Mujiazhuang.

"However, from now on, I will not let my sister bear all this!"

The girl secretly made a vow in her heart: "With me here, Mujiazhuang will have no worries!"

Under the moonlight, the room was silent for a moment, and only the sound of flowing water could be heard.
