It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists

Mu Zhian lit the candle in the room. The warm light dispelled the darkness, fully revealing Shang Yanfei’s appearance.

Her raven-black magnificent robe outlined her sexy curves, a captivating charm different from her usual demeanor.

A silver light flowed within her usually imposing pale golden eyes.

A pair of delicate jade feet peeked out from beneath her black skirt, her calves perfectly shaped. The loose robe concealed her buttocks, but because she was sitting at the table, it still outlined an alluring curve.

The sash tightly cinched her slender waist, and above it, her full and perky bosom was perfect, her figure graceful and curvy.

“It seems the Sect Master isn’t herself right now. Her appearing here and seeking me out must be ‘unconscious’ behavior,” Mu Zhian observed for a few moments, seeing the somewhat ‘lost’ look in Shang Yanfei’s eyes, and thought inwardly.

Although he didn’t see any signs of Karmic Fire burning on her body, her beautiful eyes held a gentleness that didn’t match her usual imposing aura.

Her gaze was fixed on him, as if suppressing her emotions, demurely maintaining her composure and the dignity of a Sect Master.

Her long, curling hair cascaded down like a waterfall, a strand falling across her face, adding a touch of lazy beauty to her usual mysterious older sister demeanor.

Mu Zhian collected his thoughts, walked to her side, and asked in a low voice.

Shang Yanfei looked at him with hazy eyes, as if murmuring in a dream, “Go… go get Lin Ling.”

Lin Ling? Does she mean using Words Manifest Reality to suppress the Karmic Fire?

“If Lin Ling could suppress the Karmic Fire, why didn’t you ask her for help before?” Mu Zhian felt something wasn’t right.

“She can suppress the Karmic Fire for me tonight. After that, I’ll find a way to make that spiritual sense leave my body…”

Hearing Sect Master Sister’s soft murmur, Mu Zhian finally understood.

Most of her mental energy was currently being used to suppress the Karmic Fire, so her body was probably half-occupied by the Primordial Witch.

No wonder Sect Master Sister’s temperament seemed somewhat similar to the Primordial Witch now…

But logically, since Sect Master Sister could suppress the Karmic Fire and talk to him, he could just go find Lin Ling himself. Why ask him to do it?

Mmm… Every step she takes must have a deeper meaning. Think about why she’s doing this…

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment, then, looking at the peerlessly beautiful Empress, and her somewhat stiff body, he was suddenly stunned.

Then, he looked at Shang Yanfei with a strange expression.

He suddenly understood.

Shang Yanfei could still talk to him normally, meaning she hadn’t completely lost her mind. It was just that this Sect Master was too reserved. Even if she needed to suppress the Karmic Fire, she didn’t want to take the initiative.

Her rejecting Mu Zhian in Loving Plum Garden before was due to her reserved nature, and also because she didn’t want the Jade Empress to watch them.

And her appearing in his room and seeking his help was just a pretense. Her true purpose was to change from the ‘active’ side to the ‘passive’ side.

In other words, as long as Mu Zhian took the initiative now, it would be fine.

I wonder what she would think if I really turned around and went to find Lin Ling for help…

This interesting thought suddenly arose in Mu Zhian’s mind.

Of course, it was just a thought. He wouldn’t do such a beastly thing. He threw these messy thoughts to the back of his mind, reached out, and gently embraced Shang Yanfei’s slender waist.

Just like Ye Lingxuan and the others, in Mu Zhian’s heart, Shang Yanfei had always been someone he respected deeply.

Although she wasn’t his master, Mu Zhian had never dared to have too many thoughts about the Sect Master.

Of course, not daring didn’t mean he didn’t have any.

Sometimes, when visiting her at Two Polarities Peak, Mu Zhian would inevitably have some thoughts.

For example, what would it feel like to cultivate with such a mysterious older sister…?

If it were before, Mu Zhian might not have been able to answer.

But now, he had a very clear understanding.

If he had to describe the feeling, it would be just two words: pleasurable.

Just as he had imagined countless times, when Mu Zhian embraced her slender waist from behind, even the peerlessly beautiful Sect Master couldn’t help but blush slightly.

Enjoying the feeling of the beauty in his arms, Mu Zhian bent down and lifted Shang Yanfei horizontally. Her soft and delicate body leaned completely against him.

No matter whether Sect Master Sister is at Dao Integration Realm or Transcendence Realm, when holding her, she still has the weight of a normal woman… Mu Zhian sighed inwardly.

Shang Yanfei was different from the other women Mu Zhian knew. She was the only ‘great white shark’ of unknown strength in his fishpond. When he first met her, he thought she should be at Dao Integration Realm.

But judging from his later interactions with her, and the various events that happened, her strength didn’t seem to be at Dao Integration Realm, somewhat of a mystery.

Mu Zhian turned and blew out the candles, leaving only one lit.

Under the candlelight, he could vaguely see the beauty’s devastatingly beautiful face. A silver light seemed to flow within her beautiful eyes, carrying an inexplicable charm.

Mu Zhian gently placed her on the bed. Just as he was about to approach, Shang Yanfei reached out and gently pressed his shoulder. She seemed somewhat uncomfortable, or perhaps shy, and said softly, “Wait a moment…”

Mu Zhian silently gazed at her devastatingly beautiful face and whispered, “Sect Master Sister, do you hate me?”

Shang Yanfei responded with silence.

Mu Zhian lowered his head and looked into her eyes tenderly.

He could somewhat understand Shang Yanfei’s thoughts.

If it weren’t for the witch’s spiritual sense entering the Sect Master’s body and disrupting her original plan, she probably wouldn’t be in the Garden of Heavenly Harmony now, let alone needing his help to suppress the Karmic Fire.

Although he wasn’t sure what Shang Yanfei wanted, at least, the appearance of the Primordial Witch this time should have been unexpected.

Facing Mu Zhian’s question, after an unknown amount of time in silence, the woman’s voice echoed softly through the room: “I don’t hate you.”

Her beautiful eyes flickered with a moist light, and she said softly, “Do you just like teasing people this much?”

Seeing her rare look of embarrassment and annoyance, Mu Zhian couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction.

Looking down at the beauty in his arms, Mu Zhian gazed tenderly and said softly, “What are Sect Master Sister’s feelings towards me? Do you like me?”

“Mmm…”

Before she could answer, Mu Zhian slowly lowered his head and captured the Sect Master’s red lips.

A hint of surprise flickered in Shang Yanfei’s beautiful eyes. Mu Zhian had always been obedient before her, but she didn’t expect him to be so bold.

But gradually, Shang Yanfei’s eyes softened, and she wrapped her arms around Mu Zhian’s neck, responding to his kiss.

…

After an unknown amount of time, Shang Yanfei’s gaze gradually returned to normal. In the darkness, she took a light breath, exhaling slowly, calming her emotions.

However, for some reason, a faint blush appeared on her face. Then, she said calmly and faintly in her heart, “Are you satisfied now?”

“Why are you so angry? My Mu Lang possesses the Innate Celestial Furnace. Obtaining Heavenly Court Spiritual Energy early is a good thing for you, isn’t it nice to experience it early?”

The Primordial Witch’s soft and seductive voice came from within her body, seemingly satisfied.

“Couldn’t you also be satisfied by choosing his maid? Why use me to satisfy yourself?”

Shang Yanfei’s tone had returned to its usual calmness, but sensing the young man holding her tightly from behind, and his warm breath against her, her eyes couldn’t help softening.

“How can that be the same?”

The Primordial Witch seemed to be sitting in the void, revealing a charming smile: “You are the Sect Master of the Two Polarities Sect, the lofty Empress in the eyes of the world. And that child has always cared about you, always wanting to know your true identity.”

“Think about it, in the past, he always respected you, although he had some thoughts, he didn’t dare reveal them. But now, you need his help… This will give him an immense sense of pleasure and accomplishment.”

Shang Yanfei closed her eyes slightly. The next moment, her spiritual sense also entered her body, gazing at the black-dressed woman sitting in the void, a kind smile appearing on her face: “So you’ve set your sights on me? Are you so sure what he’s thinking in his heart?”

The witch chuckled softly, “I’m not just the embodiment of the Primordial Witch’s love and desire, I can also see who others truly love in their hearts.”

“Actually, I’m also helping you. You’ve been lonely for so long, haven’t you ever thought about finding him? Just like the Jade Empress…”

Shang Yanfei looked at her indifferently: “Seven emotions and six desires are human nature, and I’m no exception, but I wouldn’t go to such lengths to seek pleasure like you.”

“Oh?”

The witch suddenly smiled: “If that’s the case, then why were you—”

Her voice suddenly stopped, because she saw a formation appearing beneath her feet.

“It’s useless. If I don’t want to leave, you can’t force me out of your body,” the witch said confidently.

Shang Yanfei tilted her head slightly, looking at her playfully, her eyes condescending, and said softly, “Who said I want to force you to leave?”

“Not only will I not force you to leave, I’ll even repay you properly.”

Sensing the depth hidden in Shang Yanfei’s pale golden eyes, the witch’s eyes flickered, “What do you want to do…?”

She had a bad feeling.

“Don’t you like this body of mine? Tonight, I’ll temporarily give you control of this body.”

“However, I will seal my own cauldron, making you an ordinary person without Spiritual Energy tonight.”

“By the way, there will be another misfortune backlash in the latter half of the night.”

The charming smile on the Primordial Witch’s face instantly vanished.

She knew Shang Yanfei’s misfortune backlash wasn’t completely over yet. The Karmic Fire caused by the misfortune would inevitably heighten her emotions, and sealing her cauldron meant there would be no Spiritual Energy support.

Although no cultivator could refuse Heavenly Court Spiritual Energy, the amount a person could withstand was limited.

Even if she was the Primordial Witch, with her cauldron sealed, it would be difficult to withstand such vast Heavenly Court Spiritual Energy.

“W-wait… I was wrong, don’t do this, I—”

The Primordial Witch’s voice abruptly stopped. When she opened her eyes, she felt misfortune silently surging.
