It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists

Chapter 368: The Jade Empress is Getting Married, and Now She’s Really Going to Become Mrs. Mu



A cyan light landed in front of the pavilion, and in the next moment, it transformed into a woman in a green dress.

When the door was pushed open, Mu Zhian was sitting beside the ancient coffin. He looked up and smiled, “Are you done with things over there?”

Yao Meng nodded with a smile. “It wasn’t a big deal. I just needed to add an extra formation under the Heavenly Pill Phoenix Tree to suppress the creature within. I’ll go back later.”

“Your clothes seem a little messy. Did something happen just now?” She suddenly changed the subject, looking at Mu Zhian suspiciously.

Mu Zhian looked natural and smiled. “It’s probably because I was flying here and the wind messed it up.”

Then, he changed the subject. “The creature suppressed under the Heavenly Pill Phoenix Tree, is it a cultivator from the Southern Wilderness?”

Although he was trying to divert attention, this was indeed one of Mu Zhian’s doubts.

“Did someone tell you?”

Yao Meng smiled brightly. “But actually, I didn’t intend to hide it from you from the beginning. I just felt that this little matter didn’t need to trouble you.”

“Was it one of the Southern Wilderness cultivators who attacked the Jade Pool Holy Land that day?” Mu Zhian asked.

Yao Meng walked into the room, casually glanced at the layout of the room, and then her gaze suddenly lingered for a moment on a certain spot where stockings should have been hung.

She looked away without a trace and looked at Mu Zhian, a charming smile on her face. “The Southern Wilderness is not a monolithic force. Although the Three Pillar Gods are united against the outside world, internally they are divided into many large and small forces.”

“The Holy Maiden of the Southern Wilderness who participated in this competition is the first major force. And the one who attacked the Jade Pool Holy Land back then was the Holy Maiden of the Earth God lineage. Now she is suppressed under the Heavenly Pill Phoenix Tree.”

Mu Zhian let out an “oh” and suddenly realized, “So, the Southern Wilderness Holy Son and Holy Maiden who came to the Two Polarities Sect before belonged to different forces in the Southern Wilderness?”

Yao Meng nodded slightly and said to herself, “The purpose of the Southern Wilderness at that time seemed not only to prevent me from achieving Dao Integration. This is what I learned from the consciousness of that Holy Maiden.”

“Consciousness…?”

Mu Zhian was obviously hesitant and looked up. “Can you read other people’s consciousness…?”

He had seen similar methods in the Mu family in the past. The old master of the Mu family was able to grasp the consciousness of others in his hands and even read it.

“The premise is that you need to erase the other person’s physical body and extract the consciousness separately.”

Yao Meng walked slowly and sat down beside the ancient coffin. She reached out and stroked the coffin, which exuded an ancient aura. She glanced sideways inadvertently, and there was a smile in her beautiful emerald eyes. “Do you like the things in this room? I prepared them all for you. I know you like these.”

Mu Zhian pointed to the restraint rope and the ball that could not be expressed in words and shrugged. “Although most of the things here are very interesting… But I have no interest in those things.”

“Those things were not prepared for you.”

Yao Meng leaned closer to his ear and whispered, “Those were prepared for me.”

Mu Zhian was slightly startled and looked at Yao Meng in disbelief. There was even a bit of surprise and joy in his eyes.

Then, he quickly understood.

He was indeed worthy of being Yao Meng, he understood him too well…

From the beginning, when she was a reserved and aloof fairy, to now, when she seemed to be getting more and more playful, this transformation was really quite fast.

Sure enough, once you let go for the first time, there will be countless times… Maybe he could change things up with her in the future.

However, just as he thought of this, Mu Zhian suddenly saw a green seed fall to the ground. In the next moment, vines sprouted from the ground and rushed towards him.

“Isn’t it a bit too soon to start being intimate? Isn’t your visit to the Jade Pool Holy Land for the Southern Wilderness?”

Mu Zhian glanced at the green vines wrapped around his hands and feet, his expression still calm, and looked up at Yao Meng with a smile.

Yao Meng smiled and said, “These trivial matters can be dealt with tomorrow… Or are you disappointed that I came back so early?”

She slowly got up, her translucent green gauze dress gently swaying, and her long, beautiful legs were faintly visible. Her bright emerald eyes looked at him with a smile, and she suddenly asked,

“Did the ancestor of the Ye family leave your Innate Celestial Furnace just now?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Yao Meng stared into Mu Zhian’s eyes and smiled kindly. “She also used my things?”

Mu Zhian wanted to say something, but Yao Meng carefully tidied his collar and said lightly, “Actually, I don’t mind, after all, her true body is still in the Heavenly Court and doesn’t pose much of a threat.”

Mu Zhian didn’t know when she had noticed, but since she had already found out, there was no need to hide it.

Mu Zhian said, “Aren’t you most annoyed by people who cuckold you?”

Yao Meng blinked her beautiful eyes playfully and said quietly, “If I really hated others being intimate with you, you probably wouldn’t be able to leave the Jade Pool Holy Land’s gate back then, right?”

Then she changed the subject and said quietly, “However, although I don’t mind, if you really want to do something to me and the Ye family ancestor at the same time…”

She leaned close to Mu Zhian’s ear and smiled. “At least you have to wait until you have enough strength to suppress both of us on the bed at the same time.”

“As for now, you still have to watch me eat the dessert bit by bit.”

Yao Meng raised her finger, and a lotus flower bloomed in Mu Zhian’s Innate Celestial Furnace.

Almost at that moment, in Mu Zhian’s Innate Celestial Furnace, Ye Qingxin seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up.

“Jade Empress, what do you want to do?”

Yao Meng’s red lips curled into a charming arc. “Just to prevent someone from trying to steal the dessert I left behind, so I can only ask Fellow Daoist Ye to be wronged for a while and stay in the Innate Celestial Furnace to ‘nurture’ your consciousness.”

The green light enveloped the Innate Celestial Furnace, and in the next moment, the sound in Mu Zhian’s body also fell silent.

Yao Meng exhaled lightly, a charming smile on her face, looking at the young man in front of her, and said leisurely, “Now the troublesome things are dealt with.”

Mu Zhian looked at her like this, and even though he knew that the atmosphere was a bit dangerous, he couldn’t help but be moved.

In the winter evening, the warm candlelight and the divine pool outside the pavilion that seemed to be rippling with stars were like a dreamlike starry river.

In a small room in the pavilion, Mu Zhian was lying on a large bed, and Yao Meng was sitting beside him with her legs crossed, gently stroking Mu Zhian’s face.

When their eyes met, the atmosphere seemed even more ambiguous.

Boom!

However, at this moment, a rumbling thunder suddenly came from the sky above the Jade Pool Holy Land.

It was the thunder tribulation of the Jade Pool Holy Land, and at this moment, it had gathered in front of an island in the Jade Pool.

Then, a hurried voice of a female disciple suddenly came from outside the pavilion, “Senior Jade Empress, the cultivator under the Heavenly Pill Phoenix Tree seems to have touched the threshold of the Soul Transformation Realm and attracted a thunder tribulation!”

She was about to push open the door, but she immediately heard Yao Meng’s calm voice, “Let the elders of the Jade Pool activate the formation first to suppress the spiritual energy under the Heavenly Pill Phoenix Tree and delay the arrival of the thunder tribulation.”

“I will go there personally later.”

After casually answering, Yao Meng glanced sideways at the young man beside her. When she noticed the burning gaze in his eyes, a seductive glint flashed in her beautiful emerald eyes.

Under Mu Zhian’s gaze, she gently pinched the thin sash around her waist with her fair fingers.

“Today, I have a new realization. I need to go into seclusion for half a day. Using the formation to delay the arrival of the thunder tribulation is not difficult. Tell the elders as I said,” Yao Meng said softly, her voice calm and natural. She gently pulled off the sash…

That night, Mu Zhian lay on the soft bed, looking at the scattered clothes on the floor, and fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

A teasing smile flashed in Yao Meng’s beautiful eyes. “Don’t worry, your Sister Ye can’t see what’s happening outside in the Innate Celestial Furnace.”

Mu Zhian closed his eyes slightly, recalling the wonderful scenes he had just experienced, and said softly, “I’m just thinking about the origin of the universe and why people want to have sex…”

It had to be said that among the women Mu Zhian knew, the Jade Empress could be said to have changed the most. On the surface, she was a fairy who could not be profaned, but in private, when she was with Mu Zhian, the ‘little games’ she played in the house were becoming more and more abundant.

Especially when the Jade Pool female disciple came to report the information just now, the other party was very calm and dealt with it while looking at you with eyes as charming as silk, even teasing you… She could even suppress her inner impulses and not make any shameful noises.

As expected of a Dao Integration expert. Putting aside other things, her mental endurance was really strong…

But sure enough, Sister Jade Empress is still more suitable for bare legs… Mu Zhian looked at Yao Meng’s flawless, fair skin and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

Women like Yao Meng had skin as delicate as ice crystals and felt great to the touch. Wearing stockings would be a waste.

Of course, it was still very nice to wear stockings occasionally.

“Why do you understand so much now?” After a long silence, Mu Zhian finally couldn’t help but ask.

The most important thing was, why did she know how to poke his sore spot… She had completely grasped his preferences.

“I just happened to see a book and tried it.”

A soft and elegant voice came from the room. Yao Meng’s usually cold and beautiful face was now flushed with a charming blush. Her hair was scattered and draped over her shoulders, and a strand of hair fell on her beautiful face, giving her the feeling of a living jade beauty.

If one didn’t look at her lazy posture at the moment and only listened to her voice, they wouldn’t be able to tell that Yao Meng was any different from usual.

“What book are you talking about…?” Mu Zhian asked tentatively.

Yao Meng glanced at him, her eyes teasing, and said softly, “Secret.”

She tidied up her messy clothes and gathered her scattered hair.

Mu Zhian took the opportunity to embrace her slender waist and pondered for a moment. “I’ve never seen any books in the Nine Provinces that can teach people so many tricks…”

Smelling the sweet fragrance emanating from Yao Meng’s dress, Mu Zhian enjoyed it for a moment, then suddenly said, “Do you want to go to the Heavenly Pill Phoenix Tree now? Maybe the elders need your help.”

Yao Meng was barefoot, sitting on the bed with her legs crossed. She reached out and pressed Mu Zhian’s head, letting him rest on her lap.

“If the formation is used to block the Heavenly Secrets, the thunder tribulation can also be temporarily suppressed. It won’t be a big problem for at least two or three days.”

She carefully tidied Mu Zhian’s forehead hair and said softly, “Compared to this, it’s more interesting to chat with you here.”

“I can accompany you.”

Mu Zhian thought for a moment and continued, “Also, I also want to know what you sealed under the Heavenly Pill Phoenix Tree.”

Yao Meng hesitated for a moment, then showed a meaningful smile.

“Alright.”

When the two left the pavilion, the night outside was already thick.

But for cultivators, there was no difference between early morning and late night.

In front of the Heavenly Pill Phoenix Tree, several elders were pinching their fingers and activating a small part of the Jade Pool’s formation to suppress the creatures under the Heavenly Pill Phoenix Tree.

Not far from the Heavenly Pill Phoenix Tree, many female disciples of the Jade Pool were also looking at this ancient tree of the Jade Pool Holy Land, whispering to each other.

“Holy Maiden, why have you come? Could it be that the thunder tribulation of the creature below disturbed you?”

At this moment, an elder immediately sensed the Jade Empress’s aura and immediately turned to look, saying respectfully.

As soon as these words were spoken, almost everyone’s eyes were focused on them. Every disciple’s eyes were filled with admiration, and they were also curious to see the young man beside the Jade Empress.

His appearance was handsome, and he looked personable. He did have an extremely handsome face.

“You all step back. I will enter the depths of the Heavenly Pill Phoenix Tree,” Yao Meng said, looking around at the crowd, her tone calm and gentle.

“Yes.”

The elders responded one after another. However, at this moment, Yao Xin suddenly said, “Young Master Mu is also going into the depths of the Heavenly Pill Phoenix Tree?”

As soon as these words were spoken, many disciples’ gazes almost simultaneously looked at Fairy Yao Xin. The elders of Yao Xin’s faction frowned and whispered, “Yao Xin, don’t be rude. Step back quickly!”

However, Yao Xin did not avoid it. Her bright eyes stared straight at Mu Zhian and said,

“I know that Young Master Mu has made great contributions to the Jade Pool Holy Land, but the Heavenly Pill Phoenix Tree contains the Great Dao. In the past, there were rules that only the most important disciples of the Jade Pool Holy Land could set foot in the Heavenly Pill Phoenix Tree. Even Young Master Mu should not be able to set foot in it.”

As soon as these words were spoken, many female disciples of the Jade Pool Holy Land fell silent.

However, soon someone said, “Young Master Mu’s status is special, and the Holy Maiden once said that she and Young Master Mu are Dao Companions. Since they are Dao Companions, it should be fine.”

After all, Mu Zhian had made great contributions to the Jade Pool Holy Land. As this disciple’s words fell, they were immediately approved by everyone.

No wonder Yao Meng hesitated just now. So there is such a rule in the Jade Pool Holy Land…?

Hearing the discussions around him, Mu Zhian was about to speak when he heard Yao Meng suddenly speak in a calm tone.

“What you said is not wrong. According to the rules of the Jade Pool Holy Land, he is indeed not allowed to enter the Heavenly Pill Phoenix Tree. After all, we cannot break the rules because of him.”

“Throughout the ages, those who can enter the Heavenly Pill Phoenix Tree are those who have a high status in the Jade Pool Holy Land.”

“But if it were him, it would be fine.”

Yao Xin’s eyes flickered as she looked at the green-dressed fairy who seemed to be accompanied by the moonlight. There was a hint of incomprehension in her eyes.

The elders were also puzzled.

Although Mu Zhian’s entry into the Heavenly Pill Phoenix Tree was not in accordance with the rules, he had saved the Jade Empress’s life after all. Moreover, the two were Dao Companions, so it was fine to break the rules this time.

On the contrary, it was a bit strange that the Jade Empress would explain…

Just as the elders were puzzled, they suddenly heard Yao Meng speak in a gentle and slow tone, “Actually, he and I have already married in private. We also plan to hold the wedding in the Jade Pool Holy Land a month later.”

“So now, he is my fiancé.”

The whispers in front of the Heavenly Pill Phoenix Tree instantly fell silent. Countless gazes stared at Yao Meng in astonishment, and even Mu Zhian was stunned.

Boom!

The sound of thunder rang out again, and a bolt of lightning flashed.

That bolt of lightning illuminated Mu Zhian’s stunned expression, as if it also represented his current mood.
