It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists

What is Mu Zhian thinking right now…?

Even without mind-reading, the Demon Empress could guess.

Even though she was the Eastern Continent’s enemy and considered Shang Yanfei her mortal enemy, she had to admit that the Sect Master of the Two Polarities Sect possessed an irresistible charm.

Shang Yanfei had already been at the Dao Integration realm before the Demon Empress even reached it. The Demon Empress had heard the First Demon Emperor mention Shang Yanfei many times. When the First Demon Emperor declared war on the Eastern Continent, he had paid close attention to the Two Polarities Sect’s movements, specifically Shang Yanfei’s.

In those years, there were only two Dao Integration experts in the Eastern Continent. The Forbidden Zone was a secluded paradise, uninvolved in worldly affairs, while the Two Polarities Sect was the symbol of the Eastern Continent.

The Sect Master, who single-handedly founded the Two Polarities Sect and even nurtured the Dao Integration expert Lin Ling, was naturally considered the First Demon Emperor’s most formidable opponent.

He couldn’t understand why this exceptional woman remained in the Eastern Continent and didn’t ascend to the Heavenly Court.

The ultimate goal of cultivation was immortality and ascension, but Shang Yanfei didn’t seem interested, even when the Path to Immortality appeared.

She was shrouded in mystery, and even the First Demon Emperor didn’t know when she had achieved Dao Integration.

To someone of Mu Zhian’s age, Shang Yanfei’s mysterious aura was incredibly alluring, captivating him and making him want to… explore her secrets.

Moreover, Shang Yanfei had just taken the initiative to kiss him.

Even someone as proud as the Demon Empress was wary of Shang Yanfei.

But wary didn’t mean afraid. It wouldn’t make her stand idly by and watch the man she desired being… NTR-ed right in front of her.

“Although I don’t have mind-reading, I think I can guess what he’s thinking.”

Shang Yanfei gently caressed Mu Zhian’s face, looking at the boy and his flustered expression.

She smiled playfully. “Which kiss was better, mine or the Demon Empress’s?”

Before Mu Zhian could answer, she chuckled. “I’m guessing he’s thinking… my kiss was more enjoyable.”

“What do you think?” She glanced at the Demon Empress, whose eyes were filled with coldness.

Boom!

A deafening roar echoed through the hall, and the ground trembled violently.

A giant serpent silently emerged from the void behind the Demon Empress.

No, it wasn’t exactly a serpent, but more like a dragon, its entire body a vibrant purple-pink, its golden eyes majestic and captivating.

The Demon Empress’s expression was indifferent as the spiritual energy in the air ignited, flames erupting.

She didn’t use any forbidden techniques, but simply raised her slender finger and flicked it. An alluring pink light, captivating and mesmerizing, enveloped Shang Yanfei.

This was a technique the Demon Empress had cultivated before reaching Dao Integration, called the Profound Yin Charmfire. The Charmfire wasn’t warm, but icy cold, instantly lowering the temperature in the hall, as if freezing the skin.

Mu Zhian stared at the Charmfire in shock, thinking, If you gods start fighting and accidentally hit me with an AOE, I’m screwed…

The Profound Yin Charmfire descended upon Shang Yanfei!

At the same time, the Worldly Serpent wrapped around Mu Zhian and pulled him towards the Demon Empress.

Boom!

A world-shattering aura filled the hall as the Profound Yin Charmfire enveloped Shang Yanfei, erupting in a blinding light.

Although he had confidence in Sect Master Lin’s strength, Mu Zhian couldn’t help but worry.

“Don’t worry, she won’t die. Besides, this is just a wisp of her consciousness. Her true body can’t leave the Two Polarities Sect,” Shi Zixuan’s arrogant, seductive voice came from beside him, as if reading his thoughts.

The Worldly Serpent gently placed Mu Zhian on the ground, and Shi Zixuan stepped forward, shielding him.

The Demon Empress had never fought Shang Yanfei before, but whenever the First Demon Emperor mentioned the Eastern Continent, he always talked about Shang Yanfei.

Cultivation in the Demon Realm was cruel, and strength reigned supreme. Therefore, since she was young, the Demon Empress had remembered the name Shang Yanfei.

Now that she had evolved into her ultimate form, the first person she wanted to fight was Shang Yanfei.

She believed that even just a wisp of Shang Yanfei’s consciousness wouldn’t be easily defeated.

And she was right.

As the Profound Yin Charmfire dissipated, the temperature remained cold, and a woman stood on the throne, like a celestial being from ancient times, her beauty unparalleled.

She wore a black dress, her face classically beautiful, her ample bosom straining against the fabric, her long legs perfectly proportioned, breathtakingly beautiful, yet not seductive, captivating and mesmerizing.

However, there were tears in her elegant dress, revealing glimpses of her fair skin.

Is she injured…? Mu Zhian’s heart stirred.

Suddenly, the world fell silent!

Everything around them turned gray. Mu Zhian, the hall, even the alluring Demon Empress, all turned gray.

Only Shang Yanfei remained in color.

When Mu Zhian snapped back to reality, the tears in Shang Yanfei’s dress had vanished without a trace.

“Time reversal,” the Demon Empress murmured, her eyes narrowed.

Mu Zhian’s thoughts stirred.

Time reversal… Does that mean the Sect Master is also at the Transcendence Realm?

He knew that time reversal was a hallmark of the Transcendence Realm.

At that realm, one could rewrite the rules of heaven and earth, even reverse time, becoming immortal.

The Demon Empress raised her head proudly, a playful smile on her lips. “No, you’re not at Transcendence. You’ve only comprehended the Dao of Time.”

Shang Yanfei smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying it.

The Demon Empress’s eyes flickered with disdain. “If I remember correctly, you were already at the Dao Integration realm before I even reached it. Now that I’ve achieved Dao Integration, you’re still stuck at the same level. What will you do if I surpass you in the future?”

Shang Yanfei smiled faintly. “If you can ascend, that’s your fate.”

Her nonchalant attitude annoyed the Demon Empress. One of the reasons she disliked this woman was her always calm and collected demeanor, as if she had everything under control.

“This wisp of your consciousness can’t stop me. Leave this pocket dimension while I’m still in a good mood. This is where… he and I are intimate,” the Demon Empress said coldly.

However, Shang Yanfei chuckled softly, as if hearing something amusing. “Where you and he are intimate?”

“Then what about the Jade Empress?”

“You’re keeping him in your pocket dimension and even have… ulterior motives… Aren’t you… stealing him from her?”

A flash of anger appeared in the Demon Empress’s eyes, clearly having struck a nerve.

The proud Demon Empress had always obtained whatever she desired.

However, after less than half a year of seclusion, Mu Zhian was already married, even wearing the engagement ring given to him by the Jade Empress!

It had only been half a year!

If she secluded herself for another year or two, Mu Zhian might even have children!

“He likes me, and I’m also interested in him. As for the Jade Empress…”

The Demon Empress scoffed. “She just took advantage of my seclusion and used some tricks to deceive him.”

Shang Yanfei said calmly, “That wedding was consensual between my disciple and the Jade Empress. Since you can read minds, don’t you know his true feelings?”

“You’re the third wheel here.”

The Demon Empress retorted immediately, “Since you knew he was already married, why did you, the dignified Sect Master of the Two Polarities Sect, become intimate with him?”

“Don’t tell me his marriage to the Jade Empress was fake. Even if it were, so what? I can have anyone I want,” the Demon Empress scoffed.

Her words were a clear declaration: Even if he’s married, I still want him.

The ruler of the Demon Realm and the Sect Master of the Two Polarities Sect faced each other, the former alluring and seductive, the latter calm and mysterious.

Both were incredibly beautiful, and standing beside the Demon Empress, Mu Zhian could smell her sweet fragrance.

However, he wasn’t in the mood to appreciate their beauty.

This is bad. If they continue arguing, the Demon Empress will definitely take her anger out on me…

Calm down. I’m the Lord of the Heavenly Court. Can’t I handle two mere women…?

There must be a way… Mu Zhian’s mind raced.

But then, he noticed the playful smile on the Demon Empress’s face and gave up thinking.

With her mind-reading ability, he had no room to maneuver.

“Well, as long as you’re fine.”

As the atmosphere grew tense, Shang Yanfei chuckled softly and walked down from the throne.

Under Mu Zhian’s hesitant gaze, she said, “The Spiritual Dragon was worried about your safety and asked me to check on you.”

“But since the Demon Empress is protecting you, there shouldn’t be any problems.”

Mu Zhian looked at Shang Yanfei, momentarily confused.

What were the Sect Master’s intentions?

If she liked him, it seemed plausible. She had even taken the initiative to kiss him before.

But if she truly liked him, why would she let the Demon Empress protect him?

Regardless, seeing that Shang Yanfei wasn’t arguing with the Demon Empress anymore, Mu Zhian breathed a sigh of relief and bowed. “I’ll see you off, Sect Master.”

As expected of the most unpredictable ‘shark’ in my pond… he thought with a sigh.

“Hmph… She’s quite magnanimous,” the Demon Empress scoffed, watching Shang Yanfei leave.

“The Sect Master is just concerned about her disciple and was worried about me,” Mu Zhian said helplessly, shaking his head.

This was indirectly telling the Demon Empress: You’re overthinking things. I’m just a disciple of the Two Polarities Sect. There’s nothing between the Sect Master and me.

“Since when is a Sect Master kissing a disciple considered a normal relationship?” the Demon Empress asked, glancing at Mu Zhian, her voice filled with displeasure.

Mu Zhian shrugged, giving up. “That’s because you provoked her first.”

He didn’t want to lie, and since she could read his mind anyway, it was better to just say it directly.

Surprisingly, the Demon Empress wasn’t angry, but simply looked at him meaningfully.

She had never seen Shang Yanfei truly fight against any Dao Integration expert because no one had ever done anything to anger her.

The last time she had acted was when Mu Zhian had been… fake killed by the Southern Wilderness and the Western Regions.

And this time… it was also because of Mu Zhian.

A woman with an unfathomable mind, yet with such an obvious weakness… How interesting.

The Demon Empress looked at Mu Zhian, a playful smile on her face.

Mu Zhian hesitated. “Aren’t you angry?”

“Why would I be angry? If I really angered her, I would be the one benefiting, wouldn’t I?” the Demon Empress chuckled.

“As for the kiss, it was just a peck on the lips. It’s nothing to be angry about.”

The Demon Realm is much more open-minded than I thought… Mu Zhian was shocked.

The Demon Empress’s voice turned seductive as she glanced at Mu Zhian. “Why did you mistake Shang Yanfei for me? You should have known it was her just by looking at her personality.”

Mu Zhian smiled wryly. “Your Majesty, would you have thought that the Sect Master would appear in your pocket dimension like this?”

The Demon Empress was speechless.

“Forget it.”

She casually changed the subject. “I didn’t sense Gong Lianyue’s aura when I entered the pocket dimension. Isn’t she here?”

“Ruoxi left for the Sword Palace to cultivate in seclusion,” Mu Zhian explained.

The Demon Empress hummed softly, a glint of light flickering in her eyes.

The Palace Master isn’t here, the Jade Empress isn’t here, and Shang Yanfei is also gone. Then…

After a brief silence, the Demon Empress bent down slightly, knelt before Mu Zhian, gently stroked his hair, and smiled seductively. “Come to my room.”

…

Mu Zhian followed the Demon Empress out of the hall. Although the hall had been damaged by their earlier confrontation, it had been silently restored.

Behind the hall was a luxurious bedchamber.

The tall, alluring Demon Empress led Mu Zhian to the bedchamber, holding his hand, then glanced at the boy beside her, licking her lips slightly.

Sensing her seductive gaze, Mu Zhian’s heart stirred, but he maintained his composure, about to remove the Green Lotus Ring from his finger.

Being intimate with someone else while wearing the Jade Empress’s ring felt strange.

However, the Demon Empress stopped him, gently holding his hand. She chuckled softly. “Just keep it on. After all, it’s the wedding ring given to you by the Jade Empress.”

The problem is, wearing this while being intimate with you makes me feel guilty… Mu Zhian thought to himself.

More importantly, he didn’t know if the Green Lotus Ring had any strange abilities, and he didn’t want to take the risk.

But the next moment, the Demon Empress’s alluring figure vanished, replaced by a holy, pure celestial maiden.

She stood barefoot, her light green dress clinging to her alluring figure. She untied the ribbon holding her hair, letting it cascade down to her calves, her beauty breathtaking yet not seductive, making it difficult to have any impure thoughts.

‘Yao Meng’ smiled, knelt before Mu Zhian, caressed his face, her demeanor holy and elegant, yet her eyes sparkled with seductive allure.

“This is your Jade Empress’s order.”
