Jiu Yan snapped, "Get your a*s in here. I don't know what you are thinking all day long."

Murong Xue poked her head out behind the door. "Hey, I hope this isn't a bad time."

Sun Manli was amazed when she saw Mu Tian, but she recovered from the shock very quickly. "You are so funny." She smiled shyly with a crisp voice, which made her appear to be very accessible.

Murong Xue entered the study, followed by Feng Ziling.

Sun Manli dropped a curtsy and said slowly, "Your Highness, since you have guests today, I'll take my leave."

Jiu Yan asked, "Fu, send Miss Sun off."

Fu said respectfully, "Yes, my Lord. Miss Sun, come this way, please."

When Fu and Miss Sun were far away, Jiu Yan rubbed his forehead and asked, "Why are you here today? What's about your hair?" He did not notice Mu Tian's black hair until now.

"Ha-ha, that's what I want to tell you. I made these for you. Do you want to have a try?" Murong Xue had made two pairs of contact lenses and tried one pair herself, which turned out to be perfectly fine. She brought the other pair here for Jiu Yan.

Taking over the box from Mu Tian, Jiu Yan opened it and saw two round lenses with black centers similar to human eyes. "What are these?"

Murong Xue smirked. "The secret weapon that can turn your eyes black."

Jiu Yan stared at the box in disbelief and felt confused. Obviously, he did not understand. "How does it work?"

Murong Xue suddenly realized that Jiu Yan, as an ancient man, had no idea how to wear contact lenses.

She took the box in his hand. "Let me help you. Sit still and keep your eyes open."

Murong Xue walked to the basin, washed her hands, and dried them. Then she took out one contact lens one-handed and held Jiu Yan's face. "Look up. Keep your eyes open. Sit still."

Jiu Yan could feel Mu Tian's breath brushing his face, and his nose was full of the sweet smell coming from Mu Tian. Looking up, he saw Mu Tian's stunningly beautiful face and he was unable to look away from the red lips.

Murong Xue said gently, "Be patient. Don't blink. It won't be long."

Then she put the contact lens into Jiu Yan's eye carefully with her fingertips. "All right. Blink and let me know if you feel uncomfortable."

Jiu Yan felt unwell when he just put on the lens, but his discomfort disappeared very soon. "Nothing."

"Well, have a look." Murong Xue picked up a bronze mirror from the table and held it up to Jiu Yan's face.

Jiu Yan could not believe what he saw. His right eye became black after Mu Tian put the lens into it while his left eye was still purple.

He touched the black eye in the mirror softly and still found it hard to believe. Mu Tian solved the problem that haunted him for more than ten years.

Murong Xue handed the box with the other contact lens to him. "Put on the other one yourself. Have a try."

Jiu Yan took it over and managed to put it on after trying several times.

Murong Xue reminded him of the caveats. "Oh, you can't go near fires. Otherwise, the lenses will melt. Remember to take them off at night."

"Okay." Jiu Yan's voice trembled a little.

Jiu Yan kept staring at the bronze mirror because he was afraid that everything was just a fantasy.

Murong Xue did not bother him as she understood how he felt now. She nodded and gestured Feng Ziling, who stood aside in silence the entire time, to leave the room with her quietly. Murong Xue knew Jiu Yan needed some time to himself now.

Feng Ziling said, "Mu Tian, you are really capable." He did not restrain the admiration in his eyes.

Walking on the cobbled path and appreciating the scenery, Murong Xue answered with a smile, "You are flattering me. I didn't invent the lenses. It belongs to the world I come from. I just borrowed the technology." She really admired human beings' inexhaustible wisdom.

"What's your world like?" Feng Ziling suddenly wanted to take a look at Mu Tian's world and also the woman he loved.

"The world I come from is peaceful and has various high-tech products, but we also face serious air pollution. There are always two sides."

"Do you want to go back?" Feng Ziling knew the answer, but he still raised the question.

"Yes, very much. My grandparents are still waiting for me to go home, and the person I love..." Murong Xue replied, bobbing her head. She wondered how the people she cared about were doing now.

Feng Ziling said determinedly, "No matter what you want, I'll help you achieve it."

"Thanks, dude." Murong Xue patted him on the shoulder. She felt lucky to have met a group of good friends, but her face darkened when she thought of Lin Nan and the others. They were still frozen in ice when she went to see them the other day. The signs of life were stable, but the black gas did not disappear.

Feng Ziling watched Mu Tian smile and tenderness flashed in his eyes. He was determined to support Mu Tian behind his back in the future no matter what happened. It was enough for him to keep a distance and watch Mu Tian from far away even if he started a family. He was satisfied with that.

A couple of days passed.

Murong Xue barged into the study and asked Jiu Yan, "Let us be your support and help you come to power."

Jiu Yan closed the file and looked at Mu Tian with a helpless face. "Cut it out. I don't have time to waste with your whimsicality."

The other two kingdoms bordering Snow Country were anxious to make moves, and the people sent to scout reported that the two kingdoms seemed ready to cooperate and conquer Snow Country together. If so, Jiu Yan had to make preparations for all these possibilities. Otherwise, the whole country was not far from death.

Moreover, Jiu Yan's father, the king, had been weakening recently as he got older, so Jiu Yan's brothers were busy competing with each other regardless of the current situation. Faced with internal and external trouble, Jiu Yan had been sleeping badly these days. At this moment, he was really not in the mood for Mu Tian's mischief.

"Did you get enough sleep? Go and take a rest. Let me help work on the papers for you." Murong Xue noticed Jiu Yan's terrible look.

"How could I be asleep now? You don't understand these. Don't touch it." It was not that Jiu Yan did not trust them. He had sent people to investigate them and it turned out that they did show up in the Infinite Forest out of nowhere, so he believed what Mu Tian told him was true.

"It's a waste of talent if you don't let me help you. Tell me about your trouble. I can help you." Murong Xue pulled up a chair to sit down across from Jiu Yan.

Feng Ziling stood behind Mu Tian. Before they came here, they had discussed it. According to Xiaobai, the strongest person in this world was the one they were looking for, so the quickest way to do it was to help Jiu Yan ascend to the top of the world.

Jiu Yan had told them that the situation was tense and war could break out anytime now, so they believed that helping Jiu Yan end the war as soon as possible was also the way to get the common people rid of the pain.

Murong Xue knew that a united world was an irresistible trend, so she wanted to accelerate it.

Looking at the two determined faces, Jiu Yan finally told them about the difficult situation and the sad ending Snow Country might face.

After Jiu Yan told them everything, Mu Tian and Feng Ziling fell silent. Seeing this, he gave a bitter laugh and wondered why he should believe they could solve the problem that gave him a headache and kept him awake at night.

Murong Xue spoke, "I have an idea!"

It astonished not only Jiu Yan but also Feng Ziling. Both of them turned to her in surprise.

"You don't need to comfort me. You go now. I want to be alone."

Murong Xue looked up and said, "I know what to do. When did I lie to you?" She was thinking about lethal bombs.

"Then tell me what we can do." Murong Xue's words let Jiu Yan feel hope.

"Crush them by force. Take over the world with a credible deterrent."

Darkness gathered in Jiu Yan's eyes. He gave a bitter laugh and answered, "Snow Country could never be strong enough to defeat two kingdoms together. You don't know these. Forget it." He picked up the file and started reading again.

Murong Xue asked, "That's because your military capabilities are very close. What if Snow Country becomes a military superpower?"

"How is it possible?" Jiu Yan backfired without looking up.

"I know how to do it. I can help you build up a formidable force." Murong Xue decided to make bombs. She knew the materials, so it was not difficult for her.

"You mean it?" Jiu Yan sat up at once as he knew Mu Tian would never make such a promise if he was not certain after Mu Tian successfully changed his own hair color and Jiu Yan's eye color.
