After my soul traveled through time and space, I became the male protagonist Bai Yueguang

Although a tight net was set up, the group heading to the laboratory were still alert. The leader took advantage of the chaos to escape from the manor, while the rest were captured alive and taken for interrogation.

Li Chengyi, who lived in the side house, of course knew about such a big commotion, but those people were not going after them, so they didn't need to intervene or do anything, and could only wait and see what happened.

After a night of cleaning, the manor returned to its original appearance, quiet and comfortable, as if the fight last night had never happened.

Shen Zhao woke up in Mu Yanchen's arms. She opened her misty eyes, which became clear after a while. What she saw was Mu Yanchen's charming and clear face. He seemed to have recovered better. His skin was moist and smooth, which was very different from the state when she first met him.

She couldn't help but reach out and touch his cheek. As if she sensed something, Mu Yanchen slowly opened his eyes and glanced at her with his eyes filled with the breeze and the moon, but then they turned into deep desire.

He was being stared at by her. At such a close distance, their breathing seemed to be intertwined, and the limited air between them seemed to be gradually heating up.

Mu Yanchen's eyes were dry and the corners of his eyes gradually turned red. He gently stepped away, keeping a certain distance from Shen Zhao, and coughed a few times to clear his throat, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Mu Yanchen knew about the action in advance last night, and before going to bed, he told Shen Zhao to use sleep-aid incense. He had already prepared it, but when Shen Zhao heard that he wanted to use it, she actually made one herself. She placed the milky white paste on a glass cup and then lit a flame.

The flames swayed in the air, the candlelight flickered, and from time to time wisps of smoke could be seen rising into the sky. The room was quickly filled with a faint fragrance that made the whole body relax.

Shen Zhao climbed onto the bed and nestled in Mu Yanchen's arms. She looked up at him, "Are you feeling better now? I've never seen you take sleeping pills before."

Mu Yanchen grabbed her shoulders and held her tighter, resting his chin on her shoulder, muttering, "Go to sleep."

After using the sleeping incense, Shen Zhao slept more deeply than usual, while Mu Yanchen woke up alertly in the middle of the night. He got out of bed carefully for fear of waking up the sleeping person, and went downstairs wearing a snow fox coat.

Shen Zhao was still in a daze. He nodded honestly when he heard the question. "I used my secret incense last night. What do you think?"

Mu Yanchen was a light sleeper to begin with, and after being poisoned he suffered so much that he couldn't sleep every night. But everything became different after she came. He could be extremely relaxed when sitting next to her, and could sleep even without incense, but he still remained alert.

As for the use of incense, due to his physical condition, the effect was not very great, but it was certain that it made him feel more relaxed.

Mu Yanchen lied without blushing or panicking, "Yeah, I had no dreams the whole night."

Shen Zhao smiled lightly, feeling satisfied, "That's good."

The weather was calm for a few days, and Mei Bai brought back winter grass and frost flowers as everyone expected, but a letter came from Shengjing.

Situ Rui handed the letter to Mu Yanchen, his face a little serious, "That person must be desperate, right? They have only been here for a few days and they have come up with other tricks."

Mu Yanchen picked up the stamp on the envelope and pulled out the letter. He quickly glanced through it and then threw the letter casually on the table. He raised his eyelids slightly, his eyes dark, "The inviter this time is Mu Yingfeng, not Mu Guichao..."

"Could it be that the old man in your family has already joined forces with Mu Guichao?" Situ Rui was also shocked.

Mu Yingfeng had long since retired behind the scenes, and many matters of the Mu family were handled by Mu Guichao and his mother Song Si. It was indeed suspicious that he suddenly jumped out at this time.

Mu Yanchen shook his head. "He is not that kind of person. Although Mu Guichao and Song Si are handling the family business on the surface, it is actually still under his control. I think he came forward this time because he received the news."

Situ Rui picked up the letter and read it. When he saw that Shen Zhao was among the invited guests, he suddenly woke up, "Have they known about it?"

Mu Yanchen's face was gloomy, and his eyes were filled with the endless killing of winter. "It should be."

He picked up the letter and held a corner to the flame. The corner of the letter slowly curled and charred until the whole letter turned into black fragments.

His eyes were dim and unclear as he looked at the swaying flames that were emitting a cold and dim light.

In the past, he was not capable enough and they were forced to separate, and later he even caused her death. Now if they want to do the same thing to her again, they have to ask him if he agrees!

Situ Rui couldn't help but shudder when he saw Mu Yanchen's actions. He hadn't seen his boss so angry in a long time. They really didn't know how to choose their targets. Why did they have to provoke his weak spot?

He looked at the letter that had turned into black powder and asked, "Are you still going to this party? Will you bring Miss Shen with you?"

If he wanted to bring it, he would have to prepare it as soon as possible...

Mu Yanchen tapped the table twice and said, "Go."

"Aren't you afraid that Miss Shen might have an accident there?" Situ Rui asked hurriedly.

Mu Yanchen glared at him, "Since I must attend this party, I have to put her where I can see her. Can you guarantee that nothing will go wrong if she stays in the manor?"

Situ Rui was choked and dared not speak for a moment. If anything really happened while Shen Zhao stayed in the manor, he would be to blame.

After Mei Bai brought back the medicinal herbs, Shen Zhao put all his energy into extracting the essence of the first night-eating flower.

She brought the Night Devouring Flower to the cold storage and put on cold-proof clothes. Her gloves were made of special material, so even if she touched the Night Devouring Flower, it would not change its temperature, allowing it to stay fresh at all times.

The morning dew of winter grass and the nectar of frost flower were prepared long before she dealt with the first night-eating flower. In order to reach the suitable temperature for the night-eating flower, she placed the morning dew and nectar in a cold storage in advance. The magical thing is that their freezing point is not zero degrees Celsius, but lower, so even if they are placed in a cold storage below zero, they will not freeze.

Shen Zhao put the morning dew and nectar aside, and then carefully opened the special glass container. The cold storage was separated by special glass, so people standing outside could also clearly observe the operations inside.

Standing outside at this time were the worried Lin Han and Mu Yanchen who completely trusted Shen Zhao. Lin Han watched Shen Zhao's operation nervously. Those were the Night-Eating Flowers that were rare in eight years, and they were obtained with the sacrifice of blood. They were related to Mu Yanchen's health. If it failed this time, Mu Yanchen would have to wait another eight years, and everyone knew that he could not live that long.

That means there are only limited opportunities there.
