It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists

The abyss was eerily silent. After Mu Zhian and the Demon Empress left, the cultivators in the Chaos Lands also “fled” one after another.

After all, not long ago, four Dao Integration experts had gathered on the border, and there were faint signs of a fight. No cultivator dared to stay in the borderlands for long.

Although the Demon Empress’s original intention was to force Shang Yanfei out, she didn’t expect that Shang Yanfei would not show up from beginning to end, but instead attracted several vixens.

“Your Majesty, now that they seem to have left, do you still want to force Sect Master Shang to come out and meet you?”

The First Seat was dressed in a light blue dress and stood quietly on the side, asking respectfully.

“No need. Judging from her attitude today, it’s unlikely that she will show up. If we continue to force her, we might attract more vixens.”

The Demon Empress lowered her eyes, and a gorgeous long dress fluttered in the cold wind, looking at the tiny wound on her fingertip.

“Are you alright? This seems to be a wound left by the Heavenly Dao not long ago?” The First Seat raised her head and looked at the Demon Empress, her bright eyes filled with concern.

“The wound has long since healed. This is the erosion of the Heavenly Dao. I can get rid of it after I go back and meditate. It’s no big deal,” the Demon Empress said faintly.

However, she didn’t expect that when a Dao Integration expert made a move, the Heavenly Dao would actually take the initiative to bless the Chosen One… Was this also within the ‘rules’?

However, although Dao Integration was within the rules, if it was Transcendence, it would break through the rules of heaven and earth.

The Demon Empress’s bright red eyes showed a cold and arrogant look that looked down on the land of the Eastern Continent.

At that time, whatever she wanted to do would be up to her.

…

At this moment, Ye Lingxuan stood expressionlessly on the top of the mountain, looking down at the abyss below.

“The Jade Empress is indeed up to something. She left the Heavenly Court early to bring him to the Jade Pool Holy Land.”

Seeing that the borderlands were vast and there were no cultivators to be seen, and she couldn’t sense Mu Zhian’s spiritual energy fluctuations, she couldn’t help but whisper to herself.

“The Jade Empress just left this place not long ago. She shouldn’t have gone far. Does Master want to chase after them?”

The Reincarnated Empress silently looked at the purple-skirted girl beside her and spoke softly.

“No need. Although the Jade Empress is unreasonable, she won’t force Brother Mu to do things he doesn’t like. Since Brother Mu agreed to go to the Jade Pool with her, he must have his own ideas,” Ye Lingxuan shook her head.

Her makeup was pure, her hair fluttered in the cold wind, and she was wearing a light purple dress. Her skin was as white as snow, and her long, slender legs were faintly visible under her dress. Her face was calm.

The Reincarnated Empress glanced at her and hesitated for a moment. “But even if Master returns to the Two Polarities Sect now, I’m afraid it will be too late to participate in the next match.”

“And if Young Master Mu is infatuated with the Jade Pool Holy Land…”

Ye Lingxuan’s calm expression froze slightly.

After a while, she came back to her senses and subconsciously looked at the white-robed, emotionless older sister beside her. “I haven’t seen you say so many words before…”

“I have my own consciousness, but in most cases, I will follow the master’s orders. This time, I just made some appropriate suggestions for reference,” the Reincarnated Empress said.

Ye Lingxuan couldn’t help but look at her more when she heard this. She suddenly paused. “So when Brother Mu and I were being intimate before, you also knew what we were doing…?”

In the past, she had been intimate with Mu Zhian several times in her room, and one or two times, the Reincarnated Empress was hiding in the shadows.

After seeing the Reincarnated Empress nod silently, Ye Lingxuan’s eyes slowly widened, and her face turned red. “Since you have your own consciousness, why didn’t you go out?”

The Reincarnated Empress tilted her head slightly. “You didn’t let me out.”

Ye Lingxuan: “…”

“All in all, let’s go back to the sect first.”

The usually elegant and graceful girl was now a little overwhelmed. Her face still had a faint blush as she continued, “If Brother Mu hasn’t returned to the sect after five days, I will personally go to the Jade Pool Holy Land to pick him up.”

…

Jade Pool Holy Land.

It had been nearly two days since they arrived at the Jade Pool Holy Land. Although Yao Meng could quickly return to the Jade Pool Holy Land with her methods, it would be impossible if she brought Mu Zhian with her.

After all, he was carrying the ancient coffin he had obtained from the abyss. Judging from the current situation, only Mu Zhian could move the ancient coffin.

Entering the Jade Pool, the courtyards inside were extremely quiet. Not far away was a lake.

By the lake, a pavilion was built by the water. The ancient Heavenly Pill Phoenix Tree seemed to support the entire sky. Amidst the swirling immortal mist, one could vaguely see a woman sitting in front of the pavilion, playing the zither. The sound of the zither floated out from the pavilion, making people’s minds wander.

“I remember the first time I met you, you were playing the zither in front of the pavilion like this, right?”

Mu Zhian raised his head and looked at the Jade Pool woman shrouded in immortal mist. He couldn’t help but speak with a bit of emotion.

Yao Meng floated in mid-air, stepping on the void. She glanced at the woman not far away and smiled. “My spiritual energy was almost exhausted at that time. I did it just to attract you and Qian’er.”

At this moment, a disciple of the Jade Pool walked over from not far away and bowed his head respectfully. “Holy Maiden, the Matriarch invites you to the Profound Moon Hall.”

Yao Meng’s current status was quite peculiar. Although she was the founder of the Jade Pool Holy Land, she was also the first generation Holy Maiden of the Jade Pool Holy Land. Now, the power was still given to the Jade Pool’s Matriarch, and the disciples below naturally could only continue to call her Holy Maiden.

Yao Meng smiled and nodded, then looked at Mu Zhian. “Rest in my palace for a while. I’ll come find you later.”

“I’ve prepared some surprises for you that will make you excited.”

What does that mean? Is she asking me to spend the night? Mu Zhi’an couldn’t help but think to himself. He smiled and nodded. “I know. Go to the Profound Moon Hall first.”

Yao Meng had returned to the Jade Pool this time not just for a vacation. Naturally, she had her own matters to attend to.

The female disciple bowed respectfully towards Mu Zhi’an, not daring to look at him too much. Then, she led Yao Meng towards the Profound Moon Hall.

After all, he was the Jade Empress’s Dao Companion. No matter who it was, everyone would be curious, let alone the disciples of the Jade Pool Holy Land.

After watching the two leave, Mu Zhi’an looked up at the ancient tree and suddenly asked, “Sister Ye, have you ever felt anything unusual about this Heavenly Pill Phoenix Tree?”

“There’s nothing unusual about the Heavenly Pill Phoenix Tree, but… there seems to be something sealed inside,” Ye Qingxin said.

Yao Meng had returned to the Jade Pool Holy Land because of the seal in the Heavenly Pill Phoenix Tree?

Mu Zhi’an was a little curious. What exactly was sealed under this ancient tree that required a Dao Integration expert to personally return to the Jade Pool Holy Land?

At this moment, the sound of the zither suddenly stopped, and a beautiful woman in the pavilion floated lightly towards Mu Zhi’an. Her jade body was graceful, and her face was extremely beautiful.

But Mu Zhi’an just glanced at her and secretly commented: Beautiful, but too small.

“Mu Zhi’an? Why did you come too?”

While Mu Zhi’an was feeling regretful, the woman had already arrived. She was wearing a white dress, which added to her princess-like temperament. Her bright eyes looked at Mu Zhi’an with doubt, and she continued, “Senior Jade Empress really values you. She even brought you along when she returned to the Jade Pool.”

“I thought it was someone with such superb zither skills. It turns out to be Fairy Yao Xin.”

Mu Zhi’an glanced at the woman in front of him and immediately recognized her. She was Yao Xin, whom he had met once in the Garden of Heavenly Harmony.

After a few months, her figure had grown a lot taller, but the places that should have developed hadn’t developed much, so she still looked a little ‘young’.

Yao Xin’s eyebrows relaxed, obviously enjoying Mu Zhi’an’s praise. She hummed, “I was planning to play a song for Senior Jade Empress, but I didn’t expect you to be here too.”

“Yao Meng has already gone inside,” Mu Zhi’an said with a smile.

Yao Xin was obviously similar in age to Ye Qian’er, and she had been doted on since she was a child. Therefore, she had the arrogance of some ancient family disciples.

However, because of the girl’s appearance and face, this arrogance seemed a little cute.

“Why are you still here then?” Yao Xin asked.

Mu Zhi’an hesitated for a moment and smiled. “I just felt that there seemed to be some sound under the Heavenly Pill Phoenix Tree, so I was a little curious.”

“Does Fairy Yao Xin know anything?”

Yao Xin nodded first, then shook her head quickly. She glanced at Mu Zhi’an sideways. “Why should I tell you?”

“Fairy Yao Xin seems to be quite hostile towards me. I don’t seem to have done anything to offend you, right?” Mu Zhi’an said helplessly.

Yao Xin, who was obviously not very friendly, glanced at Mu Zhi’an and said faintly, “Young Master Mu is joking. You are the Holy Maiden’s Dao Companion. How dare I be hostile towards you?”

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.” Yao Xin ‘politely’ nodded and turned to leave for the depths of the Jade Pool.

At this moment, Mu Zhi’an suddenly called out to her, “Yao Meng just went to the Profound Moon Hall.”

Yao Xin’s footsteps paused slightly. After a moment, she glanced at him awkwardly and said, “The seal under the Heavenly Pill Phoenix Tree is related to the previous incident in the Jade Pool.”

After speaking, she lifted her skirt and walked towards the Profound Moon Hall.

“Yao Meng is really popular with the disciples of the Jade Pool.”

Looking at this scene, Mu Zhian couldn’t help but chuckle to himself.

He naturally knew where Yao Xin’s hostility towards him came from. A Jade Pool disciple who knew that Yao Meng was returning to the Jade Pool Holy Land and played the zither in the pavilion… It was not difficult to guess what she was thinking.

“The reputation of the Jade Empress is extremely famous even in the Nine Provinces. There are many female cultivators in the world who want to become a fairy who is not stained by the mortal world like her. What’s more, the Jade Pool disciples who have been influenced by the Jade Empress since childhood.”

Ye Qingxin was sitting in the void, a charming figure in a fiery red dress, dangling her feet.

She continued, “Originally, everyone regarded the Jade Empress as an immortal who was difficult to approach. As a result, not long ago, she announced that she already had a Dao Companion… It’s understandable that the girl just now was a little hostile to you.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Mu Zhian said indifferently.

Anyway, there were so many people who were hostile to him, one more didn’t matter.

Besides, Yao Xin’s hostility was not really ‘hostility’, it was more like a girl’s arrogance.

“But what Yao Xin said just now is a bit interesting… The incident in the Jade Pool Holy Land, is it the one where I was killed?”

Mu Zhian looked up at the ancient tree. Every leaf on it seemed to be shining with a crystal light. The Heavenly Pill Phoenix Fruits that had been born on it had already been picked by the Jade Pool Holy Land and stored.

According to the rumors, if the branches and leaves of this Heavenly Pill Phoenix Tree were used to make tea, it could also prolong one’s life and replenish spiritual energy.

“Let’s go back to her palace first. You’ve been traveling for two days, and your spiritual energy has been depleted. You’ve also been carrying an ancient coffin. It’s not convenient,” Ye Qingxin said softly.

Mu Zhian nodded.

Not only had his spiritual energy been depleted, but more importantly, there were too many doubts about this trip to the abyss. He needed to calm down and think carefully.

Why was the ancient coffin the passage to the Heavenly Court? What was the identity of the person in the coffin…

Also, what kind of surprise did Yao Meng prepare for him when she brought him back to the Jade Pool Holy Land? Mu Zhian was also a little curious.

Yao Meng had become more and more mischievous after reading the Art of Husband Management.

He was really looking forward to her surprise…

Mu Zhian flew along the lake and soon entered the depths of the Jade Pool Holy Land. This was the back mountain of the Jade Pool Holy Land, covered by formations and filled with immortal mist.

Not far away was a pool with divine light shining, and beside the pool was a classical and exquisite pavilion.

At the same time, Ye Qingxin’s graceful figure also appeared beside Mu Zhian. The red-gold flames burned, and there seemed to be black flames inside, which was extremely mysterious and sacred.

“The spiritual energy here is really rich. This pool seems to contain divinity. If you bathe here for a long time, it will be much faster than cultivating in the outside world,” Ye Qingxin said in surprise.

“It seems that Yao Meng built the divine pool in the Jade Pool Holy Land after reshaping her body?” Mu Zhian said to himself.

He hadn’t seen this divine pool the last time he came, so it was obvious that it was built later.

One had to say that the methods of a Dao Integration expert were extraordinary. It was just that his attention had been attracted by Yao Meng’s body before, and he had ignored that she was a Dao Integration expert.

However, this divine pool was not a ‘surprise that would make his heart race’…

After all, what Mu Zhian wanted to make his heart race must be related to sex.

“I wonder what kind of surprise Yao Meng has prepared for me… The answer should be in this pavilion, right?”

Mu Zhian thought with some anticipation and flew to the pavilion on his sword, pushing the door open.

In that instant, the things in the pavilion were also reflected in his vision.

“Fishnet stockings, black silk, white silk, high heels, maid uniform, candles, unknown small balls for gagging, restraint vines…”

Mu Zhian’s eyelids twitched, and he subconsciously took half a step back.

What the hell kind of surprise was this? This was clearly a fright!

It would be fine if there were no things in the back, but with those things, this was not a surprise…

Was she planning to lock him in a small dark room for seven days…

Ye Qingxin walked out from behind Mu Zhian and glanced at the decorations in the room. In addition to these stockings, there were also various divine medicines, thousands of years of natural treasures, spiritual liquid, and even a radiant emperor-grade medicinal herb.

Any one of these treasures would be snatched up by people in the outside world, and they would be hard to grab even at a high price in an auction, because any one of these divine medicines could instantly replenish the spiritual energy of a Core Formation cultivator.

If it was used for cultivation, the effect would be even better.

“The things are quite complete.”

Ye Qingxin gently placed her hand on Mu Zhian’s shoulder, looked at the arrangement in the room, and said with a hint of surprise in her clear voice, but a faint smile appeared on her lips.

Mu Zhian was silent for a long time. “I suddenly regret coming back with her…”

Ye Qingxin, however, walked generously into the pavilion and reached out to grab the fishnet stockings not far away.

Mu Zhian wanted to stop her, but the next moment, he couldn’t say anything.

Ye Qingxin’s long hair was scattered, and there seemed to be dark golden flames jumping between her hair. Her black and red dress set off her graceful and sexy figure. Under the dress, her pair of fair legs were covered in fishnet stockings, which made her look even more alluring.

She bent down and hooked her embroidered shoes with her fingers. Sensing Mu Zhian’s gaze, she smiled faintly, gently took off her small embroidered shoes, and turned around in front of Mu Zhian with her white jade feet. Although there was a faint blush on her pretty face, her beautiful eyes were staring straight at Mu Zhian.

“Is it pretty?”

“Very beautiful,” Mu Zhian couldn’t help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.

Ye Qingxin was very suitable for this kind of outfit. If her original style was cold, then this kind of charming outfit made her more charming and alluring, like a fire spirit, both pure and seductive.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Qingxin suddenly took a step forward and turned into a red afterimage. She came to Mu Zhian, grabbed his collar, and kissed him on the lips with her jade arm around his neck.

Mu Zhian subconsciously wanted to hug Ye Qingxin’s waist, but he suddenly remembered something and immediately transmitted his voice, “Sister Ye, this is not appropriate…”

“These days, the spiritual energy consumption is not only yours.”

Ye Qingxin’s beautiful eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist. She raised her eyes and looked at Mu Zhian’s eyes. That charming and beautiful face was embellished with light makeup, but it looked charming and tempting.

Seeing that Mu Zhian stopped talking, she slowly let go of Mu Zhian and closed the door of the pavilion with her hand.

She tiptoed to his ear and said in a tempting and sweet voice,

“Don’t worry, the Jade Empress… won’t be back so soon.”
