Chapter 481: You Are the Primordial Witch, Right? p2

Southern Wilderness.

Spies from the Great Qian Dynasty had secretly gone to the Southern Wilderness, Western Regions, and other places a few days ago.

And recently, a spy had already arrived in the Southern Wilderness first.

The Great Qian Dynasty’s national power wasn’t actually weak. Although it was a mortal dynasty, it was closely related to the Eastern Continent’s luck. There were many cultivators in the court, and the dynasty had a secret division specifically for handling people and matters inconvenient to resolve openly for the emperor.

And the spies sent to the Southern Wilderness, Cloud Province, and other places this time were from this secret division.

Led by a Southern Wilderness attendant, the young spy entered the heavenly palace, then lowered his voice and said, “Please inform the Space God that the Imperial Advisor of the Great Qian Dynasty sent a letter to the Southern Wilderness a few days ago. You just need to tell her that I am Gu Chang from the secret division.”

The Southern Wilderness attendant sized him up, then nodded slightly, “Please wait here for a moment.”

He entered the depths of the Southern Wilderness Divine Hall. Nearly fifteen minutes later, the Southern Wilderness attendant walked out of the divine hall and made a ‘please’ gesture: “Lord Xue Yi invites you in.”

As he spoke, he glanced at the young man from the Great Qian Dynasty’s secret division. This young man called Gu Chang looked to be around twenty-three or twenty-four years old, his face covered, but judging from his eyes, he was definitely a talented young man, his status within the secret division probably not low.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been sent to carry out such an important task as negotiating with the Southern Wilderness.

Soon, Gu Chang walked into the depths of the divine hall on the soft carpet and saw the breathtakingly beautiful Southern Wilderness god at the far end.

His heart rippled, then he immediately reacted, cupped his hands, and performed the proper etiquette: “Greetings, Lord Xue Yi.”

Facing a Dao Integration Realm expert, and rumored to be the strongest god in the Southern Wilderness, no matter how outstanding and beautiful her appearance was, he didn’t dare raise his head and disrespect the god.

Xue Yi sat on the lofty throne, her platinum blonde hair coiled behind her head, her beautiful and sexy figure hidden beneath an incredibly magnificent white dress. Her sexy crystal sandals tapped the floor rhythmically.

Although her temperament was gentle, based on his years of experience, Gu Chang judged that she was a dangerous existence.

But even knowing her danger, he still couldn’t help but be attracted to her.

Xue Yi lazily rested her cheek on her hand, looking down from above, her red lips parting slightly: “Gu Buxing sent a letter to this Seat not long ago, roughly explaining the situation. The matters of the Great Qian Dynasty originally have no connection to the Southern Wilderness, but if the Jade Empress interferes when he refines part of the Great Qian Dynasty’s national fortune, I will intervene.”

Gu Chang’s face lit up with joy: “Thank you, Senior!”

He didn’t expect that the other party agreed to Gu Buxing’s proposal without him even saying a word of the negotiation speech he had prepared along the way.

With this, after returning, no one would be able to challenge his position within the Great Qian Dynasty’s secret division.

“Transferring part of the Great Qian Dynasty’s national fortune to the Southern Wilderness afterward is the condition proposed by Gu Buxing, so you don’t need to thank me.”

Xue Yi said casually, “However, this Seat can’t be certain whether the Great Qian Dynasty is colluding with the Jade Empress, luring this Seat out of the Southern Wilderness to be ambushed, so I need a bit of sincerity from the Great Qian Dynasty.”

“What does Senior mean…?”

Xue Yi gently tapped the armrest with her knuckles, lowered her eyelids slightly, and said faintly, “Gu Buxing shouldn’t be stupid enough to think he can refine the Great Qian Dynasty’s national fortune relying on the Southern Wilderness alone, right? Who else is he cooperating with?”

Gu Chang hesitated.

Xue Yi’s tapping stopped. She looked down from above, “The Jade Empress has now transcended and ascended. Do you really think I can stop her alone? If there are no other great powers helping, consider this matter never mentioned. You can go back now.”

“See the guest out,” Xue Yi said faintly.

“Wait—”

Gu Chang gritted his teeth and said hurriedly, “All missions of the Great Qian secret division are assigned by the Imperial Advisor. I only know he sent people to two other places.”

Xue Yi tilted her head slightly, revealing a charming smile: “Then make a list and give it to the maid beside me later.”

Hearing this, Gu Chang hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

They were the ones seeking cooperation now, so there was no other way. The threat posed by the Jade Empress was too great. Without cooperating with other powers in other provinces, the Imperial Advisor might be discovered by the Jade Empress before even refining the national fortune.

Fortunately, the other party was the Space God, who already had enmity with Mu Zhian and the others, so there was no need to worry about her setting up a trap or anything.

As Gu Chang thought of this, the maid beside him had already handed him a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.

He lifted the brush, ground the ink, and wrote several names on the paper.

…

Nearly fifteen minutes later, Mu Zhian, anxiously waiting outside the hot spring, finally saw Yao Meng, who had been chatting with the Sect Master inside.

She looked much better than before she went in. It was hard to imagine what Shang Yanfei had said to her, to the point that she wanted to take Mu Zhian away before, but was now calm.

Seeing Yao Meng come out, Mu Zhian immediately went up to her and asked, “What did the Sect Master tell you?”

Yao Meng glanced at him and said with a smile, “You want to know?”

Her beautiful green eyes were like a lake reflecting brilliant gems, bright and captivating.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly, wondering what exactly the Sect Master had said to make Yao Meng, who was in a very bad mood earlier, look so cheerful now.

Yao Meng suddenly beckoned to him. She floated in mid-air, her long, voluptuous, and snow-white legs faintly visible beneath her green gauze skirt, her soft and gentle immortal voice carrying a hint of playfulness: “Come here.”

When Mu Zhian approached her, Yao Meng gently caressed the young man’s face and said, “Actually, just as you said, Shang Yanfei has shown kindness to both you and me, so it’s normal for you to want to repay her.”

“Similarly, she has also shown kindness to me, so it’s not convenient for me to stop you from helping her with her current troubles.”

Does this mean she agrees to me helping Sect Master Sister resolve the Karmic Fire…?

This isn’t like Yao Meng, what exactly did Sect Master Sister talk to her about?

Yao Meng seemed to know what Mu Zhian was thinking. The corner of her mouth curved upwards, deliberately keeping him in suspense: “As for what your Sect Master Sister just told me…”

Mu Zhian subconsciously looked up at her, his attention captivated.

Yao Meng gazed at him tenderly, her green eyes filled with alluring charm.

She didn’t answer, but pressed her plump, rosy lips against Mu Zhian’s ear and whispered in a captivatingly sweet voice, “If you want to know, try to please Sister tonight, my dear~”

As Mu Zhian was dazed, she had already left, leaving only a light and airy sentence echoing in his ear: “I’ll be waiting for you in your Senior Sister’s room.”

Mu Zhian finally snapped out of his daze. The lingering soft and seductive voice made him shiver with excitement.

He had already been on edge these past three days, and now, being teased by this beauty, who looked like a fairy but was actually a vixen, he naturally couldn’t suppress himself.

Jade Empress Sister is getting hotter and hotter… She has a firm grasp on my XP… Even after Yao Meng’s figure vanished from sight, it took Mu Zhian a while to come back to his senses. Collecting his thoughts, he walked towards the hot spring with a sigh.

Passing through a secluded courtyard, after nearly fifteen minutes, Mu Zhian saw Sect Master Sister soaking in the hot spring.

The water covered her shoulders, mist lingering, vaguely revealing a woman’s graceful curves. The sound of splashing water seemed to pluck at Mu Zhian’s heartstrings, making him involuntarily walk towards her.

“Why are you here…?”

Shang Yanfei seemed quite surprised by Mu Zhian’s arrival. A dense fog silently spread around, and she left the hot spring, seemingly not expecting Mu Zhian to return.

Clearly, she was truly somewhat nervous, to the point that she didn’t even wipe the water droplets from her body, just putting on a loose white inner garment, her long, curling hair wet and scattered down her back, water droplets dripping from the ends of her hair onto the ground.

Compared to her usual peerless beauty and inviolable majesty, she now carried an unusual charm.

Charming and seductive.

“Didn’t Sect Master explain the situation to Yao Meng…?” Mu Zhian also hesitated slightly.

“I didn’t expect her to let you stay…” Shang Yanfei’s tone held a playfulness she didn’t usually have.

The Jade Empress is truly magnanimous, actually letting her Dao Companion…

“Perhaps Yao Meng also knows Sect Master’s situation is rather delicate, so she let me stay, to look after you,” Mu Zhian guessed.

He also couldn’t understand. He had thought Yao Meng would forcibly take him away this time, but unexpectedly, she let him stay.

He initially thought the Sect Master had said something to Yao Meng to change her mind, but now it seemed Shang Yanfei was also surprised he was still in Loving Plum Garden?

“I need to enter secluded meditation and cultivation for a while to suppress the Karmic Fire. You can go back first.”

After Shang Yanfei finished speaking, she glanced at Mu Zhian through the hazy mist. Then, a formation appeared beneath Mu Zhian’s feet. In a daze, he could no longer see this peerlessly beautiful Empress, but was in a familiar room.

This was the Garden of Heavenly Harmony.

The Sect Master’s methods are truly mysterious and unpredictable, but why was her face so red just now, unlike her usual self? Could this also be the influence of the ‘Primordial Witch’s’ spiritual sense?

Or was she shy because I saw her while she was bathing in the hot spring…?

With her status, it shouldn’t be the case… Mu Zhian looked up at the hazy night sky outside the window and couldn’t help sighing inwardly.

He thought he finally had a chance to repay Sect Master Sister, but she could suppress the Karmic Fire herself.

Having been so exhausted these past few days, Mu Zhian couldn’t help but miss Sister Lingxuan and Sister Qian’er. The big shark was good, but too difficult to control. But the little fish were pure, cute, and obedient.

If they were here, he could also release the frustration he had accumulated these past few days.

As Mu Zhian thought, he sat cross-legged on the bed, meditating and cultivating, circulating his cauldron’s energy.

Currently, this was the only way to suppress his desires.

Time passed silently. At some unknown point, Mu Zhian faintly heard a woman’s soft moans beside his ear. She seemed to be deliberately suppressing her voice.

That suppressed voice was soft and sweet, making his heart itch.

It doesn’t seem like an illusion… Mu Zhian abruptly opened his eyes and saw Shang Yanfei, who had just finished bathing. Her beautiful and refined face held an intoxicating blush. Under the moonlight, her beautiful eyes shone with an unusual silver light.

Her raven-black magnificent robe enveloped her sexy and mature curves, her buttocks pressed against the windowsill table. A pair of tender white feet peeked out from beneath her skirt, her jade feet small and delicate, appearing exceptionally dazzling and captivating against the black fabric, like rare and precious jade.

“Sect Master…” Mu Zhian almost subconsciously called out.

Then, his gaze settled on Shang Yanfei’s blushing face.

The Sect Master’s state seems a bit off…

Mu Zhian calmed himself, got out of bed, and slowly approached Shang Yanfei.

Chapter 481: You Are the Primordial Witch, Right? p1

“How do you want to help me?”

Shang Yanfei looked at Mu Zhian, who was tightly holding her small hand, lowered her eyes, and said faintly, “There’s only one way to suppress Karmic Fire. Aren’t you worried about being discovered by others?”

Setting aside others for now, if Lan Mulian were to find out about this, it would probably cause quite a bit of trouble.

Mu Zhian was silent.

Shang Yanfei practically watched Lan Mulian grow up, and the latter had always respected her master.

If Lan Mulian found out about what happened between Mu Zhian and Shang Yanfei…

Mu Zhian sighed softly, “I know Sect Master’s feelings are complicated, but if Senior Sister knew the truth, she definitely wouldn’t say anything.”

Shang Yanfei twirled a strand of hair with her fingertip, looking at him playfully.

Mu Zhian met her gaze.

Pure and beautiful, yet carrying an indescribable seductive charm, captivating all beings…

She just let Mu Zhian hold her hand, her expression always calm.

However, the first time Mu Zhian saw the Sect Master, he seemed to see an innocent and pure beauty like Lin Ling. Then, the second time, he thought the person standing before him was the mature and seductive Master Zi Xuan.

And the next moment, she seemed like a charming fairy, a blend of purity and seductiveness.

For some reason, although her expression was calm, and she didn’t deliberately try to seduce him, Mu Zhian saw several different types of beauties in her alone.

Although I’m not lecherous, she really fits my XP… Mu Zhian sighed inwardly.

As a master of raising fish (managing a harem), Mu Zhian’s preferred type of beauty was quite complex. Sometimes he liked fairies, and sometimes he preferred innocent and pure young girls. But no matter what type of beauty, Mu Zhian could find something he liked in Shang Yanfei.

The Demon Empress could change her appearance, even imitating the other person’s temperament. Although Shang Yanfei always had the same appearance, every time he looked at her, she seemed like a different type.

There was actually a woman like Sect Master Sister in this world. If he were to be with her in the future, there probably wouldn’t be such a thing as the ‘seven-year itch’…

Shang Yanfei said, “The others probably don’t know you left the Sword Palace, right? Aren’t you worried someone will come looking for you?”

Mu Zhian shook his head: “My intention is to care for Sect Master’s health, without any other motives. It doesn’t matter even if someone comes and sees this scene.”

Shang Yanfei looked at him playfully, as if seeing through everything.

It’s better for women to be dazed and adorable like Lin Ling… Mu Zhian coughed lightly and changed the subject, “I heard from Lin Ling that Sect Master has experienced misfortune backlash and Karmic Fire several times in the past, but suppressed it every time. Why is it that this time…”

Shang Yanfei said faintly, “This time isn’t actually because of misfortune backlash. In short, you don’t need to worry about my health.”

She doesn’t seem to be lying, but if that’s the case, why is her face so red now, looking so aroused…? Mu Zhian suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said calmly, “Actually, I’ve also been wondering about this. Sect Master could always suppress the Karmic Fire in the past, so it doesn’t make sense that you suddenly can’t suppress it now.”

“Unless it’s due to some irresistible external force,” he made a judgment.

Shang Yanfei responded with silence.

The smile on Mu Zhian’s face faded slightly: “Not long ago, I went to the Southern Wilderness and saw a statue in the Southern Wilderness Divine Hall.”

“Shortly after that, the spiritual sense within that statue descended upon the Southern Wilderness Divine Hall, and she claimed to be the Primordial Witch’s third spiritual sense.”

He stared into Shang Yanfei’s eyes and said softly, “Does Sect Master know her?”

“Yes.”

Unexpectedly, Shang Yanfei didn’t deny it and said calmly, “She’s currently within my body.”

As expected!

Mu Zhian’s heart skipped a beat. Although he had this thought when talking about the Primordial Witch with Yao Meng before, he was still inevitably surprised.

The Primordial Witch had transcended the long river of history, from the beginning of antiquity until now. Her friends and family had probably long turned to dust. Since that was the case, if the Primordial Witch’s spiritual sense in the Southern Wilderness didn’t return to Wei Mengrou’s body, where did she go?

The third witch’s spiritual sense represented love and desire among the seven emotions and six desires. Plus, Shang Yanfei just happened to be suffering from Karmic Fire backlash these past two days… It was hard not to make connections.

Mu Zhian was silent for a moment: “Under normal circumstances, a cauldron can’t contain a person’s spiritual sense. I can contain other people’s spiritual senses because of my Innate Celestial Furnace. Ruoxi can because she’s Gong Lianyue’s sword. Qian’er could contain Yao Meng because they were compatible.”

“I think even Sect Master shouldn’t be able to contain the Primordial Witch’s spiritual sense… Unless Sect Master is compatible with the Primordial Witch, or—”

He stared at Shang Yanfei: “You are the Primordial Witch?”

Ever since seeing the Primordial Witch, Mu Zhian had been suspicious of Shang Yanfei’s identity.

But he didn’t have any evidence, and Shang Yanfei was always meticulous, leaving no trace.

If it weren’t for her suffering from Karmic Fire backlash this time, Mu Zhian might not have suspected her.

However, Shang Yanfei’s next words stunned Mu Zhian.

“That wisp of the Primordial Witch’s spiritual sense is indeed within my body, but I’m not the Primordial Witch. I can swear on this.”

Shang Yanfei gave Mu Zhian the answer casually in a soft and calm voice.

Rumble!

The Great Dao witnessed her oath. Lightning flashed, illuminating Mu Zhian’s astonished expression.

I guessed wrong…?

The Sect Master has no relationship with the Primordial Witch…?

How is that possible? If the Sect Master isn’t the Primordial Witch, why did she keep helping me in the past?

Mu Zhian stared blankly at Shang Yanfei’s peerlessly beautiful figure, his face slightly contorted, unable to distinguish his emotions.

Just then, a beautiful green figure seemed to flash past in the distance, turning into a streak of light and stopping before the hot spring.

Mu Zhian reacted almost immediately, turning his head to look.

Yao Meng, in a green dress, appeared before the hot spring.

How did Yao Meng know I was here…? Mu Zhian’s mentality instantly shifted subtly.

Shang Yanfei gently pulled her hand away from Mu Zhian’s, glancing at the young man lazily, her beautiful eyes moist and seductive, as if saying: What did you just say? Not afraid of being discovered having a secret meeting with me in Two Polarities Peak?

“Yao Meng, you’re back so soon…”

Mu Zhian maintained his composure, greeting her with a warm, sunny smile, but his tone was inevitably somewhat uneasy.

Yao Meng glanced at him, her eyes gentle, a smile on her face: “Miss Wei said Lin Ling had something and took you back to the sect. I was a bit worried, so I came to take a look.”

She paused, then her tone suddenly changed, “I thought something big happened to alarm Lin Ling. Miss Wei stammered while explaining. Turns out, you secretly came back to have a secret meeting with Sect Master Shang.”

Although he knew Sister Mengrou wasn’t good at lying, wasn’t this being seen through by Yao Meng too quickly?! Was Sister Mengrou really not deliberately leaking information…? Countless complaints filled Mu Zhian’s mind, but he still maintained his composure:

“Lin Ling only said Sect Master’s condition wasn’t good and needed my help, so I came back with her to take a look… If I wanted to hide it, I wouldn’t have let Sister Mengrou explain to you.”

Although he tried to appease Yao Meng with this explanation, the Jade Empress clearly wasn’t so easily fooled. She ignored Mu Zhian, her beautiful eyes casually glancing at Shang Yanfei, a dangerous smile appearing:

“Sect Master Shang secretly helped me in the past. I’ve always remembered this. However, even as repayment, there’s no reason to offer one’s Dao Companion to another woman.”

“As for Sect Master’s misfortune backlash, he can’t suppress that level of misfortune for you now. And regarding the Karmic Fire, with your strength, suppressing Karmic Fire shouldn’t be difficult, right?”

“Or perhaps, Sect Master Shang prefers him to suppress it for you, rather than suppressing it yourself?”

Her logic was perfect, without any loopholes. Just as Yao Meng said, the origin of Shang Yanfei’s misfortune was still a mystery. Mu Zhian couldn’t suppress such misfortune now, because he already had Wei Mengrou by his side, whose immense misfortune required him to suppress.

However, Wei Mengrou’s misfortune was gradually fading due to the Heavenly Dao Luck given by Mu Zhian.

Shang Yanfei raised her beautiful eyes, the pale golden pupils reflecting the captivating figure of the fairy in the green dress, and said with a faint smile, “Jade Empress, it was him who decided whether to save you or not back then. You don’t need to feel grateful to me.”

Sect Master Sister is so calm. If it were Gong Lianyue being provoked by Yao Meng like this, they would probably be fighting already… Mu Zhian was secretly relieved.

Just then, Shang Yanfei said with a faint smile again, “Not to mention nothing happened between him and me now, even if it did, I think Miss Bai should be the one mentioning this, why is the Jade Empress protecting her food first?”

This sharp angle of attack wasn’t something someone who usually lived in seclusion could come up with.

Yao Meng sized up Shang Yanfei, then suddenly chuckled softly, “At least the relationship between him and me is open and honest. All the girls around him know about our relationship. Sect Master Shang, do you dare reveal your relationship with him to the sect, let your beloved disciple know?”

This translated to: No matter what you say, it’s useless. I can say I want to fck him in front of all the other women around him, but can you?*

Undoubtedly, this did hit a sore spot for Shang Yanfei.

Not to mention the commotion that would be caused if news of the Two Polarities Sect Master being with a disciple spread, it would be difficult to explain to Lan Mulian alone.

Although disciples should respect their masters, there was no reason to offer their beloved man to their master…

If Lan Mulian knew about this… would she still acknowledge her as her master?

Shang Yanfei revealed a faint smile: “Actually, the choice isn’t up to you or me, but him.”

The pressure instantly shifted to Mu Zhian.

Yao Meng looked at Mu Zhian with gentle eyes and said with a smile, “You decide, I won’t force you.”

Ah, this, how about we do it together? I haven’t wasted any Spiritual Energy these past few days, I should be able to handle both of you… Mu Zhian was caught between Yao Meng and the Sect Master, in a dilemma.

An impulsive thought arose in his mind, like stepping forward forcefully, embracing both breathtaking beauties, soaking in the hot spring together, then going to Senior Sister Lan’s room after cleaning up…

Of course, it was just a thought. Mu Zhian was still very calm, knowing this kind of thing couldn’t be rushed.

Just like how he never thought Bai Ruoxi would be willing to accept such an absurd thing as being together with Yao Meng.

He needed to wait for the right time.

As for now, he naturally had to choose one of the two…

It seemed like a difficult choice, but actually, as long as he understood their personalities, it wasn’t hard to make a decision.

He didn’t understand Sect Master Sister’s personality, but he understood Yao Meng’s.

Although Sister Jade Empress was domineering, she always had complicated feelings towards Shang Yanfei.

On one hand, Yao Meng knew she owed Shang Yanfei a huge favor. On the other hand, she didn’t want to give up her Dao Companion, even if it was just this once…

There was indeed pleasure in cuckolding others, but being cuckolded… that made one’s feelings complicated.

Mu Zhian turned to look at Yao Meng, his expression serious, and said softly, “The Sect Master is out of time. She could suppress the misfortune backlash and the Karmic Fire in the past, but not this time.”

Yao Meng looked at him with a smile, tilting her head slightly, “Besides the Spirit Dragon’s exaggerated Karmic Fire, which requires the Innate Celestial Furnace to suppress, other Karmic Fire backlashes in this world can be suppressed by oneself.”

“Don’t tell me you’re feeling frustrated these past few days, so you’ve developed thoughts about Sect Master Shang?”

Mu Zhian slowly shook his head: “This isn’t Karmic Fire backlash for her, it’s because the Primordial Witch’s spiritual sense entered her cauldron, triggering an unusual Karmic Fire.”

Even Yao Meng, who was usually otherworldly and calm, couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.

She was experienced and naturally understood the possibility Mu Zhian mentioned.

The Primordial Witch in the Southern Wilderness didn’t return to Wei Mengrou’s body back then, so she found Shang Yanfei instead?

Just as Mu Zhian guessed about Yao Meng, after confirming the Karmic Fire within Shang Yanfei’s body was caused by the Primordial Witch, her expression changed slightly.

On one hand, she wanted to repay Shang Yanfei for saving her life that day. On the other hand, the thought of her Dao Companion dual cultivating with Shang Yanfei while she knew everything… Such complicated emotions intertwined in her heart, momentarily making even the fairy, who was well-versed in the Dao of Tranquility, unable to remain calm.

After an unknown amount of time, Yao Meng snapped out of her thoughts.

Her face regained its usual calmness, and she looked at Mu Zhian with a smile, her gaze meaningful.

Why do I feel like she already knows what I’m thinking…? Mu Zhian’s heart trembled. Sometimes, a woman understanding him too well wasn’t a good thing.

Just then, Shang Yanfei suddenly said faintly, “You go out for a bit, I’ll talk to the Jade Empress alone.”

Mu Zhian subconsciously looked at Yao Meng, who simply nodded slightly at him.

Mu Zhian could only sigh softly and temporarily leave.

…

 

Chapter 480: Sect Master Sister, Let Me Help You!

Lan Clan, Immortal Emperor Mountain.

Since the Ancestor Worship Ceremony, Immortal Emperor Mountain had returned to silence. Usually, besides the occasional Lan Clan elder patrolling nearby, no clan members passed through.

After all, the former Lan Clan Great Elder’s betrayal, almost using the demonic cultivator hidden in the ancestral land to make a big fuss, the current Clan Leader Lan Pingzhi naturally had people carefully guarding the area. Moreover, his two daughters were still in secluded cultivation within the ancestral land.

On this day, within the secret realm of Immortal Emperor Mountain, a spatial rift quietly opened, and a breathtakingly beautiful woman stepped out.

A faint icy-blue light seemed to emanate from her body. Her eyes were like autumn water, her appearance beautiful and cool.

“It seems your inheritance is complete?”

A man’s clear voice came from near Immortal Emperor Mountain.

Lan Mulian looked over and saw her half-brother, Lan Wu.

She nodded demurely: “I woke up not long ago, but Feiying is still in the Abyssal Lands.”

Although Lan Wu was also a member of the Lan Clan, he had always been on the two sisters’ side. Even when he went to the Two Polarities Sect before, it was under orders, and he didn’t make things difficult for them. Lan Mulian had a good impression of this brother.

Lan Wu nodded slightly, then looked at Lan Mulian’s expression doubtfully, “Judging by your appearance, Little Sister, it seems you have something urgent… Did something happen?”

Lan Mulian recalled what happened in the ancestral land not long ago. The Lan Clan ancestor told her about Mu Zhian’s visit, seemingly worried about their situation.

Because of this, she wanted to see Junior Brother as soon as her inheritance was complete, to reassure him.

“It’s nothing urgent, I’ve just been away from the Two Polarities Sect for so long, so I want to return to the sect and report to Master as soon as possible.”

Her returning to the Lan Clan this time was, in a sense, also encouraged by her Master.

Having not seen Shang Yanfei for so long, Lan Mulian naturally wanted to see Master as soon as possible.

And visit him at the Garden of Heavenly Harmony while she was at it.

Mmm… After all, Junior Brother specially came to the Lan Clan Ancestral Land, risking entering the Abyssal Lands to see her. She couldn’t let him down.

…

The Sect Master’s identity had always been a mystery.

But Mu Zhian was more concerned about another matter now.

Where exactly did Shang Yanfei’s Karmic Fire come from?

According to the currently known information, the Sect Master’s Luck had problems long ago, and she had always been able to suppress the misfortune and resist the Karmic Fire’s backlash with her own strength.

But this time, the situation seemed different from before… This was concerning.

After temporarily bidding farewell to Wei Mengrou, instructing her on how to answer if Ruoxi and the others asked about him after he left, Mu Zhian followed Lin Ling and left the Sword Palace.

—

Two Polarities Peak, Loving Plum Garden.

This was the central peak of Two Polarities Peak. Because of the formations, no disciples usually set foot here. Besides Lan Mulian occasionally passing through while taking a stroll, only the Spirit Dragon would occasionally come here to the central peak to forage for food.

“Lin Ling, didn’t you say I needed chaotic aura to help the Sect Master suppress the Karmic Fire? But I’m still struggling to refine the chaotic aura. Even if you bring me here, I probably can’t help the Sect Master much…”

Mu Zhian walked along the path in Loving Plum Garden with Lin Ling. Because Two Polarities Peak was covered by formations, Words Manifest Reality was also restricted, unless the formation master actively deactivated the formations.

It was currently February, early spring. The layout of Loving Plum Garden was elegant, with winding paths leading to a secluded open-air hot spring not far ahead. Shang Yanfei would occasionally bathe there, sometimes with Lin Ling.

Lin Ling held Mu Zhian’s hand and handed him her small notebook: “Chaotic aura can suppress the misfortune affecting her, but even without chaotic aura, you can suppress the Karmic Fire itself.”

Understood, Lin Ling means although I can’t suppress Sect Master Sister’s misfortune, I can suppress her Karmic Fire.

The Karmic Fire would reappear, and he could repeatedly suppress it.

Mu Zhian turned to look at Lin Ling’s side profile. Her small face was focused and serious, her red eyes filled with worry. It was clear she was truly concerned about the Sect Master’s situation, to the point that she hadn’t even eaten a single snack along the way today.

Mu Zhian reached out, rubbed her silver hair, and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, the Sect Master is always prepared. She could suppress the Karmic Fire in the past, so naturally she can now… And I’m here now too, right?”

Lin Ling blinked, her eyes still filled with complex emotions, and wrote in her small notebook for Mu Zhian to see: “Asking you to do this kind of thing, will it be difficult for you?”

Mu Zhian looked at Lin Ling’s pure face with a smile, thinking, If possible, I would love to suppress Sect Master Sister, how could it be difficult?

It was just that there hadn’t been a chance to approach this big shark before.

“It’s all for my Lin Ling, as long as you’re happy,” Mu Zhian also wrote in the small notebook, looking at her tenderly.

“Not happy, but there’s no other way. The only one who can suppress the Karmic Fire caused by misfortune is you. Seeing you being intimate with other girls makes me unhappy.”

Mu Zhian’s thoughts stirred, “You also feel jealous?”

“Just a little sad, but I can endure it.”

Lin Ling wrote in her small notebook: “You have many women around you. I can’t ask you to only be with me, that would be difficult for you.”

Mu Zhian looked at her silently and said, “Actually, if you use Words Manifest Reality, I can’t disobey anything you ask me to do, right?”

“I can’t do that. Using Words Manifest Reality to twist other people’s feelings is bad,” Lin Ling placed a finger against her lips.

Mu Zhian couldn’t help but chuckle. He stopped, wrapped an arm around the young girl’s slender waist, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, “Then why could you use Words Manifest Reality to interfere with my desires during dual cultivation before?”

After Mu Zhian finished speaking, his gaze lingered on Lin Ling’s beautiful, porcelain-like face. Her brush-like eyelashes trembled slightly, her head lowered, but she didn’t push him away.

Mu Zhian smiled, “My Lin Ling is so obedient. After I help Sect Master Sister suppress the Karmic Fire, I’ll treat you to snacks.”

Lin Ling was first overjoyed, but then, seeing Mu Zhian’s teasing gaze, she immediately reacted, blushing and gently pushing him away, quickly writing in her small notebook: “No…”

“But there’s dense Heavenly Court Spiritual Energy, Lin Ling, are you sure you don’t want to try? It’s a very delicious thing,” Mu Zhian tempted.

Seeing her increasingly blushing face, Mu Zhian stopped teasing her: “Alright, I’ll go check on the hot spring first. Do you want to come with me?”

Lin Ling gently shook her head: “She’ll be embarrassed if I go.”

So Sect Master Sister also gets shy? I really couldn’t tell usually…

After all, that woman always wore a mysterious smile, her thoughts impossible to decipher.

Mu Zhian: “Then you go wait for me in Senior Sister Lan’s palace.”

Mu Zhian straightened his robes and walked along the secluded path towards the hot spring in Loving Plum Garden.

Just then, he faintly heard someone calling him from behind.

Lin Ling’s rosy lips parted slightly. As Mu Zhian turned his head, her crisp, silver-bell-like voice echoed softly through Loving Plum Garden: “That thing tastes very strange, so I don’t like it.”

Is she still dwelling on the joke just now…? Seeing this, Mu Zhian couldn’t help but smile, about to tell her he was just joking.

Just then, she hesitated for a moment, quickly stepped forward, handed him a page she had just finished writing, then turned and left Loving Plum Garden.

Mu Zhian looked down at the content on the paper.

“If you like it, I can endure it.”

…

“Although Lin Ling doesn’t have much experience flirting, she really fits my XP in every way…”

Mu Zhian walked along the winding path, looking at the content on the paper, recalling the scene just now, and couldn’t help sighing inwardly.

In Mu Zhian’s fishpond, Miss Spirit Dragon could be said to be the most special one. She didn’t know how to please a man, but it was precisely this innocence that hit Mu Zhian’s XP.

Who wouldn’t like a well-behaved, obedient, and powerful dazed beauty?

However, speaking of which, Lin Ling might have had some budding feelings for Mu Zhian in the past, but it wasn’t obvious. It was just that someone was pushing Lin Ling forward, scheming in the dark.

And now, that person was also facing a similar situation as Lin Ling.

Mu Zhian walked along the cobblestone path towards the depths of Loving Plum Garden, looking up. He could vaguely see hazy steam rising from the hot spring in the distance.

The hot spring Lin Ling mentioned was here.

Just as Mu Zhian was about to approach, he faintly heard a woman’s moans coming from the hot spring. The sounds were intermittent, clearly deliberately suppressed.

Besides the Spirit Dragon, only Sect Master Sister was here now.

Could she be…?

Mu Zhian’s heart skipped a beat. He held his breath, concealed his aura, and quietly approached.

The sounds became clearer, and he could vaguely see a woman’s graceful figure.

Shang Yanfei sat by the hot spring, her face bare of makeup, her waterfall-like hair tied up with a ribbon, strands of hair framing her face.

Elegant, cool, and mysterious, the black mist made her look like a noble and aloof fairy, yet the sexy figure that appeared in Mu Zhian’s vision was like a seductive witch.

Considering the Sect Master of the Two Polarities Sect’s mysterious identity and unfathomable strength, this beauty, seemingly between a fairy and a witch, carried an inviolable majesty.

Firstly, it’s not that I’m cowardly, but it’s really hard to imagine a woman like Sect Master Sister dual cultivating with me. The pressure is a bit much… As a veteran, Mu Zhian rarely felt apprehensive.

In Mu Zhian’s fishpond, in terms of looks alone, Yao Meng ranked first. There was no helping it; the Jade Pool Dao Rhyme added too many points to a woman’s beauty.

But if temperament, figure, and other factors were considered, the fish in the fishpond each had their own characteristics.

And the one who most attracted Mu Zhian’s desire to explore was naturally Sect Master Sister.

Although he couldn’t remember Shang Yanfei’s appearance, he always felt a sense of wonder towards her. This was enough to show that Sect Master Sister’s beauty must be extraordinary.

Although the raven-black magnificent robe covering her delicate body was slightly loose, because of the sash, Mu Zhian could still see her perky bosom, so he always had the impression that the Sect Master was ‘magnanimous in capacity’.

Even if he forgot her appearance, he was confident he could recognize her by her chest.

Besides that, Mu Zhian’s impression of the Sect Master came from others.

For example, Ye Lingxuan, as proud as the Forbidden Zone’s imperial daughter, had admired her secretly ever since seeing the Sect Master once in her childhood. The cold Senior Sister Lan also became an obedient disciple before her. Sect disciples and even the First Elders were also quite curious about this Sect Master.

But most people had never seen what the Sect Master looked like… Even if they did, they quickly forgot.

And such a peerlessly beautiful woman, was actually… at this moment…

Her gently rubbing legs, her slightly flushed face, and even the hot breath she exhaled from her lips, undoubtedly, this was…

Mu Zhian stared at this scene in shock.

Seemingly sensing someone behind her, Shang Yanfei snapped out of her state as if from a trance and said lazily, “When did you arrive?”

As expected of the Sect Master, even after being caught in such a compromising situation, she’s still so calm… Mu Zhian said calmly, “Lin Ling brought me here not long ago. I heard that Sect Master’s Luck has some problems, and I happen to know a thing or two about suppressing misfortune.”

The atmosphere was somewhat awkward and silent, but Mu Zhian didn’t plan to let this opportunity go and asked tentatively, “Sect Master, were you just…”

Shang Yanfei was silent for a moment, her tone remaining calm: “This is the influence of the Karmic Fire.”

Mu Zhian understood slightly, then a flash of inspiration struck him, “Could it be that Sect Master was also like this when the Karmic Fire burned before—”

Before he could finish speaking, Shang Yanfei casually glanced back.

Their gazes met through the hazy steam of the hot spring. Seeing those pale golden eyes, Mu Zhian’s gaze suddenly became dazed.

Then, after nearly half a minute of silence, Mu Zhian gradually regained his senses, looked around, and hesitated, “When did I come here…?”

He remembered coming to the hot spring, but felt like a piece of his memory after arriving was missing. No matter how he tried to recall, he had no impression.

“Perhaps you had a sudden epiphany, so you meditated for a while after coming here,” Shang Yanfei said faintly.

Mu Zhian: “There’s such a thing? A cultivator can suddenly have an epiphany?”

Shang Yanfei casually changed the subject: “Is there something you need? If I remember correctly, you left the sect a few days ago.”

Mu Zhian slightly collected his thoughts and said, “This disciple heard that Sect Master wasn’t feeling well, so I wanted to see if there was anything I could help with.”

Shang Yanfei gently shook her head: “Lin Ling brought you here, right? It’s nothing serious. If there’s nothing else, you can go back first.”

Mu Zhian fell silent. Although he couldn’t sense such an ethereal thing as Luck, he could still sense the abnormality in this woman in magnificent robes before him.

During the past few Karmic Fire backlashes, Lin Ling had never come looking for him, only this time… This was enough to show that Sect Master Sister’s Karmic Fire backlash this time was more severe than before.

He happened to save Yao Meng in the grotto-heaven of the Pilgrimage Palace back then, and he could see Shang Yanfei’s shadow behind the scenes.

Besides that, Gong Lianyue, Lin Ling proposing marriage to the Forbidden Zone in the past, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox body, and several other events, many of the fortunes he obtained, seemingly by chance due to his connection with the Primordial Witch, were actually guided by this woman before him.

Saving the Jade Empress, reviving Gong Lianyue, resolving the Spirit Dragon’s Karmic Fire pain, although she never accompanied him along the way, it was as if she was protecting him all the time.

And this time, someone was in trouble again.

But this time, no one was there to help him plan and strategize.

Because the person in trouble this time was herself.

Mu Zhian sighed softly, “If possible, I also want to do my part to repay you.”

Shang Yanfei seemed to know what he was thinking and smiled brightly: “Have you ever thought that my helping you before might have been for another purpose?”

She paused: “My Karmic Fire is different from Lin Ling’s. You don’t need to worry, just go back.”

Mu Zhian then cupped his hands: “Then this disciple will take his leave.”

In the slightly silent atmosphere, Mu Zhian quietly left with the sound of his footsteps.

Shang Yanfei didn’t turn around, just gently untied her sash, about to take off her raven-black magnificent robe.

Just then, she heard the footsteps that had already left returning.

“Is there anything else?”

The moment she spoke, Mu Zhian had already walked to the hot spring: “I don’t know what Sect Master’s purpose is, but I’m someone who repays kindness.”

Shang Yanfei tilted her head slightly and looked at him: “So?”

Mu Zhian stared into her eyes, reached out, and held one of her slightly cool small hands: “Let me help you.”

Chapter 479: Sect Master’s Karmic Fire Burns 

Great Qian Dynasty.

Imperial Garden.

Within a pavilion, the old emperor, dressed in Daoist robes, was playing Go with the current Imperial Advisor. The two held significant positions within the Great Qian Dynasty. However, recently, Imperial Advisor Gu Buxing had become much more haggard, his face somewhat pale.

In contrast, the old emperor, playing Go with him, looked radiant. He had recently withdrawn many medicinal ingredients from the imperial treasury to refine pills, extending his lifespan, and was naturally in excellent spirits.

“Ever since the Jade Empress’s reckoning that day, Imperial Advisor has been dispirited. Although your cauldron was sealed, at least Fairy Yao Meng spared your life, which is a blessing in disguise, isn’t it?” The old emperor held a Go piece, his tone calm, yet carrying an imposing aura.

Gu Buxing shook his head: “It wasn’t Fairy Yao Meng who spared my life, she spared the Great Qian Dynasty’s national fortune, and the people’s faith.”

Ever since becoming the Imperial Advisor of the Great Qian Dynasty, Gu Buxing had, in a sense, been bound to the dynasty. Although he couldn’t use this immense national fortune, he was connected to it. If Gu Buxing died, the Great Qian Dynasty’s national fortune might collapse.

And the Eastern Continent’s luck was actually related to this dynasty.

“So, Fairy Yao Meng is quite considerate of the common people? Otherwise, I might not be seeing you now, my dear advisor.” The old emperor took several white Go pieces from the board.

Gu Buxing’s expression froze slightly, seemingly recalling what happened a few months ago when Fairy Yao Meng personally ‘visited’ the dynasty.

After a while, he regained his usual calmness and said faintly, “All these years, I’ve been planning immortality for Your Majesty, and even sent people to the World Sea several times to investigate the secret treasures left by the Primordial Witch, but I didn’t expect to end up making wedding clothes for someone else.”

The old emperor frowned, staring at the Go board, and pondered for a long time: “You mean, that spiritual sense of the Primordial Witch might have already told Mu Zhian the location of the secret treasures she left behind?”

“That Primordial Witch spiritual sense in the World Sea has a close relationship with Mu Zhian. It wouldn’t be strange even if she told him the location of the secret treasures… Since things have come to this, if Your Majesty wants longevity, you’ll have to find another way,” Gu Buxing sighed softly.

“It’s just a pity that my cauldron was sealed by the World-Purifying Green Lotus. I’m no different from an ordinary person now and probably won’t be able to help Your Majesty much in the future.”

Hearing this, the old emperor couldn’t help but rub his brows and said, “Is there a way to break the seal of the World-Purifying Green Lotus?”

“Even the First Generation Demon Emperor back then couldn’t withstand the World-Purifying Green Lotus, let alone this old man.”

Gu Buxing slowly shook his head, then paused: “Unless…”

“Unless what?” the old emperor immediately asked.

“There’s a Buddhist technique in the Small Leiyin Temple in the Western Regions that can refine the faith of all beings, even an entire dynasty’s national fortune, for a single person’s use. In the past thousand years, there have been many conflicts between the Western Regions and the Demon Realm, but even a powerful force like the Demon Realm couldn’t gain any advantage against the Western Regions.”

Gu Buxing revealed a faint smile: “A large part of the reason is because of this Buddhist technique, which can refine the faith of all beings, even an entire dynasty’s national fortune.”

“Some time ago, people from the Small Leiyin Temple in the Western Regions came and passed this Buddhist technique to this old man.”

Hearing this, the old emperor frowned slightly: “But if the Jade Empress finds out you want to refine the faith of all beings, I’m afraid…”

Gu Buxing was only strengthened by the faith of all beings in the past, but the Jade Empress’s arrival a few months ago caused a huge uproar in the Great Qian Dynasty. Rumors about Gu Buxing spread throughout the Eastern Continent, causing the common people to become deeply suspicious of him.

The common people’s doubts naturally affected the faith strengthening Gu Buxing.

“Rest assured, Your Majesty. The Jade Empress does dote on her Dao Companion, but don’t forget, her relationship with the Demon Empress isn’t good. Although she hasn’t done anything to other provinces after transcending, it doesn’t mean other great powers will tolerate her attacking the Great Qian Dynasty.”

One must know, the Jade Empress after Transcendence was already domineering. If she attacked the Great Qian Dynasty, it would inevitably make people think she wanted to seize the faith of all beings and the Great Qian Dynasty’s national fortune… Other great powers wouldn’t let her do this, even if it meant fighting to the death.

“Besides, we’re not targeting Mu Zhian, we just want to use that Buddhist technique to refine the faith of all beings and part of the national fortune…”

The old emperor’s face was expressionless, “If a nation’s fortune is lost, it will not only affect the common people, but even the Eastern Continent…”

Although he had devoted himself to cultivation these years, he still held tightly onto the affairs of the court. Having him give up part of the Great Qian Dynasty’s national fortune to the Imperial Advisor for no reason was something even a human emperor wouldn’t be willing to do.

“If I use the national fortune and the faith of all beings to break through the seal of the World-Purifying Green Lotus and successfully achieve Dao Integration, then within the Great Qian Dynasty, I won’t be affected by the rules of heaven and earth… Your Majesty, this isn’t just for the Great Qian Dynasty, but also for Your Majesty’s wish for longevity.”

Gu Buxing stood up, cupped his hands, and said, “I hope Your Majesty will heed my words.”

Seeing the old emperor still silent, Gu Buxing spoke again: “Not long ago, spies reported that cultivators from the Jade Pool Holy Land went to Tianxuan City.”

“But after those Jade Pool cultivators left Tianxuan City, they looked dazed, as if they had forgotten why they went to Tianxuan City.”

The old emperor was finally moved.

He understood the meaning of Gu Buxing’s words.

The power behind Mu Zhian was astonishing and terrifying. Not only them, but the memories of others who investigated his background were also inexplicably shielded by destiny.

Having such a person as an enemy, with the Jade Empress backing him, how could this human emperor not feel uneasy every day?

The old emperor pondered for a long time, then silently nodded.

“What does Imperial Advisor plan to do?”

“I know Your Majesty’s concerns, and just as Your Majesty worries, this matter might be difficult to achieve with just us.”

Gu Buxing said calmly, “A few days ago, the Space God returned to the Southern Wilderness and has already become the sole ruler of the Southern Wilderness. It’s rumored that Ye Yu, who saved her, was killed by Mu Zhian, and she also had some friction with the Jade Empress. I will send people to secretly contact the Space God, Your Majesty can rest assured.”

“Besides that, I will also secretly send people to the Demon Realm, Western Regions, Cloud Province, and other places.”

Transcendence and ascension were always a lingering concern in the hearts of the Nine Provinces’ great powers.

Although within their own territories, with the strengthening of formations, they could exert the power of the Transcendence Realm, it ultimately couldn’t compare to true Transcendence. And who could guarantee they would never leave their territory in this lifetime?

If there was a chance to weaken the Great Qian Dynasty’s national fortune, it would actually also weaken the Eastern Continent’s luck. Those great powers would definitely be willing to do this.

“The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Your Majesty can rest assured. I’ve sworn an oath that after achieving Dao Integration with the Heavenly Dao, I will find a way to extend Your Majesty’s lifespan, ensuring you become a thousand-year emperor.”

The old and frail emperor held a Go piece, looked at it for a while, placed it on the board, and said with a smile, “With your words, my dear advisor, I feel much more at ease.”

“Speaking of which, didn’t Your Majesty summon Princess Yongning today? Why hasn’t she come yet?” Gu Buxing suddenly recalled this matter.

“Perhaps she’s lost track of time reading again. I’ll send someone to Shou Kang Palace,” the old emperor shook his head and sighed softly, “It’s a pity Yongning isn’t a man. Otherwise, I could have more free time to focus on cultivation.”

The current crown prince was incompetent, the eldest prince died prematurely, and the third prince was locked up in a secret room. Among his children, the most intelligent one was Yongning.

It was a pity she was a princess.

While the two were talking, they didn’t notice that, beneath a plum blossom tree not far away, a woman quietly turned around. Her pale golden magnificent dress trailed on the ground, and her personal maid respectfully lifted her dress as they left the Imperial Garden.

“If today’s matters reach a third person’s ears, even I can’t save your life.”

Leaving the Imperial Garden, Princess Yongning glanced at the maid beside her and said softly.

The maid hurriedly nodded in agreement.

…

Three days later, Sword Palace.

Lin Ling floated around outside the Sword Palace, wanting to call out to the people inside several times, but ultimately held back.

It had been three days since she left Two Polarities Peak. At first, she wanted to use Words Manifest Reality to bring Mu Zhian to her side, but found it ineffective.

According to Lin Ling’s guess, there must be a great power protecting Mu Zhian, so even using Words Manifest Reality couldn’t directly teleport him to her side.

Thus, she could only search for him throughout the Eastern Continent, going to the Jade Pool Holy Land, Forbidden Zone, the Ye Clan’s Starry Sky Ancient Road, Tianxuan City, and other places, but didn’t find him.

At first, Lin Ling didn’t think of the Sword Palace. After all, the people from the Jade Pool Holy Land said the Jade Empress hadn’t returned for a long time, so Lin Ling naturally suspected Yao Meng had hidden Mu Zhian somewhere.

After all, she would also sometimes hide delicious snacks in her storage ring, only taking them out to eat when she had a craving.

Hiding a person and hiding snacks were the same principle.

However, after searching several places in the Eastern Continent and still not finding him, she thought he might be suffering from Karmic Fire like her in the past, so she had a flash of inspiration and thought of this heavenly palace floating near Xuanyin Temple.

However, if she went in to look for him like this, and couldn’t find him, Gong Lianyue would definitely look for him with her after finding out Mu Zhian was missing.

Then, what after finding him?

If Gong Lianyue asked her why she took Mu Zhian away, how would she answer?

Could she tell Gong Lianyue that the Sect Master was suffering from Karmic Fire and needed her Dao Companion to help her cultivate and suppress the Karmic Fire…?

No matter what, Bai Ruoxi was Mu Zhian’s official Dao Companion. It wasn’t appropriate to say that…

Lin Ling hesitated slightly, thinking of her close friend who might still be suffering from Karmic Fire in Two Polarities Peak. She finally stopped hesitating and opened her mouth slightly.

“Aaaaaa—”

…

Mu Zhian slowly opened his eyes, his pupils slightly unfocused, staring blankly at the ceiling, like a salted fish drained of Spiritual Energy.

He forced himself to sit up, got out of bed, supported himself against the wall, and slowly walked towards the basement door with unsteady steps.

Just then, smelling a faint, delicate fragrance, Wei Mengrou stepped forward and helped the young master walk up the stairs.

Mu Zhian silently glanced at her and said, “Sister Mengrou, I’m very disappointed in you.”

Three days.

Three whole days!

As the maid who should be protecting the young master, she didn’t do anything during these three days, just meditating and cultivating outside the Sword Palace?!

What happened to the promise of protecting the young master’s safety?!

There was no trust left between people.

Wei Mengrou seemed to understand what Mu Zhian meant, glanced at the young master, and sneered, “Wouldn’t you be disappointed if I saved you? You probably wished to be intimate with them, why would you need me to save you?”

Her tone was incredibly cold, her gaze at the young man filled with resentment.

If he didn’t look so weak right now, she would probably throw him back into the basement and let him fend for himself.

“How do you feel after these few days?” Wei Mengrou continued mockingly.

Mu Zhian’s eyes were clear as water. He pressed his palms together and said, “Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. The so-called women, the so-called dual cultivation, are nothing more than this.”

“Besides that? No other thoughts?” Wei Mengrou sneered.

If it were in the past, Mu Zhian would probably say ‘very moisturizing’ or something. However, looking at his current state, he had clearly temporarily lost his worldly desires, becoming a dried salted fish.

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment, then said, “If possible, Sister Mengrou, could you prepare some goji berries, oysters, duck eggs, and leeks for me later? And also buy some Essence Replenishing Pills and Body Strengthening Pills from the auction house…”

Wei Mengrou looked at the young master strangely. Although she wanted to make another sarcastic remark, seeing his ‘exhausted’ appearance, she couldn’t bear it and silently helped him out of the basement.

She hadn’t approached the Sword Palace basement these past three days, and there were female elders from the Sword Palace guarding outside, making it difficult to enter.

Besides, she knew that neither Fairy Yao Meng nor Bai Ruoxi would really go too far… There shouldn’t be any major problems.

However, now it seemed that although the young master was fine, in a sense, his spirit seemed a bit off.

“What exactly happened to you these past few days?” Wei Mengrou finally couldn’t help asking.

“They went too far this time,” the maid added silently, indirectly criticizing Yao Meng and Bai Ruoxi.

Implying, “Only I care about the young master.”

Mu Zhian gently shook his head, looked up at the sunlight streaming through the doorway, and said, “Actually, strictly speaking, they didn’t do anything…”

“Then why are you…” Wei Mengrou trailed off.

Mu Zhian sighed softly, “They just used some tools and inhuman methods. Every time they tried to make me release my essence, they would rewind time with the Principles of Time to a few seconds earlier, repeating this cycle endlessly…”

Wei Mengrou’s eyes held a hint of doubt, and she hesitated, “Then why do you look so exhausted now…?”

Mu Zhian silently looked at her: “Because I haven’t released my essence yet.”

Wei Mengrou was stunned.

After a while, she silently turned her face away, her shoulders trembling, covering her mouth, seemingly trying hard to suppress her laughter.

Mu Zhian silently looked at the maid. For a moment, he seemed to see an innocent and naive girl, not the usually cold and aloof maid.

“Sister Mengrou, aren’t you going to help your young master?”

Mu Zhian held her small hand and pulled her down to sit beside him on the basement steps.

Suddenly having her hand held, Wei Mengrou’s face flushed red. After a slight resistance, she silently lowered her head, tacitly accepting the young master’s action.

After a while, she felt a warm hand sliding up her waist. Her heart skipped a beat, and she snapped out of her daze, “The Palace Master only left temporarily because of some matters in the Sword Palace today. Aren’t you afraid of being seen?”

Mu Zhian looked at her and said softly, “Even if others see, as long as I can hold your hand like this, I’ll die without regrets.”

Wei Mengrou lowered her eyelids, the coldness in her eyes gradually softening, a shy look appearing on her face.

Time passed silently. Mu Zhian seemed to recall something and asked, “Right, where did Yao Meng go?”

“There are some murals left in the Sword Palace, depicting the Calamity Body destroying dynasties. She went to see the murals today,” Wei Mengrou explained.

Although she said that, Mu Zhian knew in his heart that the Jade Empress clearly couldn’t bear to go too far with him, so she was giving him time to ‘rest’.

Just as Mu Zhian thought of this, about to speak again, he faintly heard a pleasant and sweet song.

Mu Zhian reacted almost immediately, subconsciously murmuring, “Lin Ling?”

He glanced at Wei Mengrou. As expected of the woman who understood Mu Zhian the most, she immediately understood, placed a hand on his shoulder, and turned into a streak of light, flying out of the Sword Palace.

After a while, Mu Zhian saw the dazed Miss Spirit Dragon outside the Sword Palace.

She was as elegant, dazed, and beautiful as always. If one ignored her red starry eyes, as pure as rubies, they would involuntarily feel awe towards this Miss Spirit Dragon.

After all, the special aura brought by the immense Luck was truly too astonishing.

“Lin Ling? How did you know I was here?” Mu Zhian asked in surprise.

The moment Lin Ling saw Mu Zhian, she immediately floated to the Sword Palace square and handed him her small notebook.

“I’ve been looking for you for a long time… Also, the Sect Master needs my help?”

Seeing the content in the small notebook, Mu Zhian was stunned and asked, “Help with what?”

One must know, Sect Master Sister was a Dao Integration Realm expert… and she had already deduced destiny in advance, what could he possibly help her with?

“You’re not just hungry and want to eat snacks, so you came looking for me, are you?” Mu Zhian asked suspiciously.

“Aaa…” Lin Ling pecked her head like a little chicken.

She was indeed a bit hungry.

Then, she quickly reacted, her small brows furrowing slightly, unhappy.

She held up her small notebook: “I’m not joking with you, come back to Two Polarities Peak with me.”

“So what exactly are we going back to Two Polarities Peak for…?” Mu Zhian couldn’t help asking.

He was considering whether to tell Yao Meng and Ruoxi. If he left so suddenly… who knew if there would be another round of cun (a unit of measurement, often used euphemistically for ‘a little bit’ of lewdness) games afterward…

However, the next moment, as the content Lin Ling continued writing in her small notebook appeared in his vision, Mu Zhian’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Suppressing Karmic Fire…? Are you talking about Sect Master Sister’s Karmic Fire?”

Countless question marks filled Mu Zhian’s mind.

With Sect Master Sister being such a big shark… couldn’t she calculate when the Karmic Fire would burn and whether she needed his help?

Although he didn’t mind…

But the question now was, where did this Karmic Fire come from?

She had never left Two Polarities Peak, meaning this Karmic Fire should be caused by something related to her happening outside.

What happened recently that could even trigger her Karmic Fire…?

Mu Zhian pondered for a long time, then slightly collected his thoughts and nodded slightly:

“Okay, I’ll go with you to take a look.”

Chapter 478: Sect Master Sister: Love █ Mode p2

Such a low-level way to change the subject…

Wei Mengrou glanced at the young master indifferently, “The other spiritual sense within my body told me that the Primordial Witch doesn’t necessarily need to enter my cauldron to nourish her spiritual sense. As long as it’s a compatible Dao Integration Realm cauldron, it can nourish her spiritual sense.”

“You mean… she might have gone to a certain great power’s cauldron?” Mu Zhian guessed.

Wei Mengrou raised her chin and hummed in agreement.

“I see…” Mu Zhian pondered, “Thinking about it, she must have left behind some measures before sealing herself. Perhaps there are other great powers she knows in the Nine Provinces.”

Thinking of this, Mu Zhian glanced at the sky outside and said, “It’s getting late. Everyone’s tired from traveling today, let’s rest early.”

As his voice fell, he was about to stand up.

Just then, Bai Ruoxi suddenly reached out and gently tugged at Mu Zhian’s clothes.

“Wait a moment, Mu Lang.”

Mu Zhian’s heart skipped a beat. He coughed twice and said, “Ruoxi, is there anything else? Our misunderstanding should have been cleared…”

“I do understand Mu Lang’s good intentions now, I wasn’t truly infatuated with Xue Yi’s body…” Bai Ruoxi’s voice was gentle and sweet. She raised her eyelids, her beautiful eyes moist as she gazed at him.

“Even if it’s not a punishment, Mu Lang should still remember promising me before to come to the Sword Palace with me, right?”

Although she said that, her beautiful eyes clearly lost some of their light.

Clearly, Mu Zhian’s explanation was reasonable, but Miss Bai still didn’t plan to let him leave just like that.

“I don’t mind, but Yao Meng always had a bad relationship with the Palace Master. If we go to the Sword Palace together, I’m afraid the Palace Master will…”

Bai Ruoxi smiled, rested her head on Mu Zhian’s shoulder, and said softly, “It’s fine, I’ve already told the Palace Master. This time at the Sword Palace, I’ll still be the dominant personality.”

“So…” A hint of shyness flashed through her eyes, “Even if Jade Empress Sister comes along… it’s okay.”

Mu Zhian was stunned, subconsciously looking at Wei Mengrou, and signaling her with his eyes: Sister Mengrou, help… help me!

However, just then, Yao Meng said with a faint smile, “Since Miss Wei is his maid, she probably won’t interfere too much in her young master’s private life, right?”

Wei Mengrou’s delicate brows furrowed slightly.

She originally just planned to watch from the sidelines, but if this scenario continued, she probably wouldn’t see the young master for several days…

Although she didn’t really want to see the young master, she was still his maid and had to consider his health…

“Don’t worry, Sister Mengrou, I’ll take good care of him. I’ll send him back to the sect in seven days,” Bai Ruoxi raised her eyelids and said gently, her words making Mu Zhian tremble with fear.

If I really go to the Sword Palace for seven days, I’m afraid my Innate Celestial Furnace will be completely drained when I come back… Mu Zhian assessed the situation, his mind racing, secretly thinking of a way out.

If it were in the past, Yao Meng would definitely intervene if she saw Gong Lianyue trying to take him away. But now Ruoxi was the dominant personality, and Gong Lianyue seemed to be enjoying herself secretly during dual cultivation as well, so he couldn’t count on them…

Thinking of this, Mu Zhian was suddenly stunned.

He realized something terrifying.

He had always hoped the fish in his fishpond could get along harmoniously, but now it seemed… if they really did get along harmoniously, it might not be a completely good thing?

In the past, Yao Meng would stop Bai Ruoxi. When they fought, Mu Zhian only needed to use his words.

But now… they were cooperating!

Two Transcendence Realm experts were cooperating!

One must know, a single word from a Transcendence Realm expert could cause a sensation in the Nine Provinces, let alone two Transcendence Realm experts ‘cooperating’ now.

…And they were planning to take Mu Zhian to the basement together!

Hearing the wind howling outside, Yao Meng wrapped her arms around his neck.

Her beauty surpassed the snow, her face holy. She had clearly applied light makeup and rouge, her plump lips alluringly vibrant, her charming eyes like silk.

“At least untie the World-Purifying Vines and the Heart-Binding Lock…?” Mu Zhian could only make a weak request.

“No~”

However, even this request was rejected.

Bai Ruoxi bent slightly, her slender hand on her ample bosom, her face flushed, gazing at him tenderly: “Actually, Mu Lang likes this kind of play the most, don’t you?”

Wei Mengrou watched this scene, opening her mouth slightly, as if wanting to speak up for the young master.

“Didn’t Miss Wei keep saying you’re just his maid? Have you changed your mind?” Yao Meng asked with a smile.

“Mmm… I am indeed just his maid…” Wei Mengrou said somewhat awkwardly.

Yao Meng smiled faintly: “Then let’s meet again in a few days~”

After she finished speaking, she raised her hand, tearing open a spatial rift, seemingly about to take Mu Zhian away.

“Wait—”

Wei Mengrou hesitated slightly, then finally spoke.

Under Mu Zhian’s hopeful gaze, she said faintly, “I’ll go to the Sword Palace with you.”

Mu Zhian: “…”

…

On the tree-lined path of Two Polarities Peak, Shang Yanfei strolled leisurely beneath the ancient tree.

The main peaks of the Two Polarities Sect were divided into two side peaks and one central peak. Two Polarities Peak was the most special, strengthened by formations year-round, making it difficult for ordinary disciples to approach. Besides Mu Zhian and Lan Mulian, only disciples from the Imperial Kitchen Hall or the Medicinal Kitchen occasionally came to feed the Spirit Dragon.

Lin Ling held a bronze mirror, following Shang Yanfei, her smooth silver hair cascading naturally down to her calves. The loose white dress added a touch of classical beauty to the silver-haired beauty.

She carefully examined the bronze mirror. The image within was frozen on the scene of the Primordial Witch kissing Mu Zhian.

She blinked her bright, clear red eyes, looked up at the peerlessly beautiful woman walking ahead, and handed her the small notebook she had just finished writing in:

“The interesting scene you mentioned, is this it?”

Shang Yanfei lifted her skirt, gracefully ascending the stone steps. Her figure was captivating, tall and sexy, her long, curling hair cascading down. Even without seeing her face, it wasn’t hard to imagine she was a breathtaking beauty.

She sat down on the stone steps, toying with The Art of Managing Your Husband in her hand, looking at Lin Ling’s sad little eyes, and said with a smile, “Isn’t this a very interesting scene?”

Lin Ling puffed out her cheeks and continued writing in her small notebook: “I already knew he was a bad boy, no need to specially show me this.”

Lin Ling had always been in the Garden of Heavenly Harmony and often heard soft moans coming from a certain room late at night. Besides that, Mu Zhian sometimes had wicked thoughts when looking at her… She knew all these things.

Shang Yanfei rested her cheek on her hand and looked at her with a slight smile: “Since he’s a bad boy, why did you fall for him?”

Lin Ling lowered her eyelids slightly, pondered for half a second, then held up her small notebook: “Didn’t you also fall for him?”

“I’m different from you.”

Shang Yanfei looked up at the gloomy sky, her expression neither happy nor sad, and said softly, “Actually, I know why you have feelings for him… He did have wicked thoughts about you, but probably you can sense ‘malice’ from any man in this world, right?”

Mu Zhian did have impure thoughts about Lin Ling, but he wouldn’t actually do anything, and he treated her sincerely… Lin Ling didn’t leave the Garden of Heavenly Harmony precisely because she knew this.

However, to Shang Yanfei’s surprise, Lin Ling gently shook her head upon hearing this.

She wrote in her small notebook: “Other people’s impure thoughts towards me are for Luck, but he…”

A blush appeared on her face, but she didn’t continue writing, instead shyly lowering her head.

Shang Yanfei was slightly stunned, then chuckled softly: “His impure thoughts towards you aren’t for Luck, but for you, right?”

A girl like Lin Ling rarely interacted with cultivators, let alone male cultivators. Because of this, if there wasn’t some intimate interaction, she probably wouldn’t even realize her own feelings.

“And he saved me,” Lin Ling continued writing.

Although she said that, if Lin Ling didn’t already have some budding feelings for Mu Zhian, even with the Karmic Fire burning her body, she wouldn’t have accepted the proposal of dual cultivation.

Shang Yanfei saw through her without saying anything. She smiled slightly, about to speak again.

However, just then, a dense black mist suddenly surged from within her cauldron. A faint silver light seemed to flow through her pale golden eyes. Her body trembled, instantly going limp, and the book in her hand fell to the ground.

Karmic Fire!

The innocent and naive Miss Spirit Dragon, seeing the Sect Master not speaking, thought she was hungry and handed her a meat bun.

“Aaa?”

“Thank you, but I’m not hungry…”

Even the Sect Master was speechless looking at this scene. However, her face quickly became burning hot, her breath seemingly exhaling a sweet and fiery aura.

Her mouth was dry, and her jade-white legs beneath her raven-black dress rubbed against each other slightly.

Lin Ling immediately reacted, looking at her with concern and worry: “What’s wrong with you?”

Is it Karmic Fire?

As a veteran who had been burned by Karmic Fire for many years, Lin Ling saw through Shang Yanfei’s abnormality at a glance.

But why did the Karmic Fire suddenly become so intense…?

She had clearly been with her just now and hadn’t done anything that would trigger the Karmic Fire…

Seeing Shang Yanfei not speaking, seemingly suppressing the Karmic Fire with her will, Lin Ling immediately continued writing in her small notebook: “I’ll go find him!”

There was no cure for Karmic Fire, it could only be suppressed with willpower, or…

After writing this, Lin Ling held her small notebook and turned to leave Two Polarities Peak.

“No need… It’s not the first time I’ve been burned by Karmic Fire. I can suppress it with my willpower.”

A tremor appeared in Shang Yanfei’s usually calm voice, and she continued, “Mulian’s seclusion will end soon. If she finds out about this, what do you think will happen?”

Lin Ling shook her head: “She will understand even if she finds out.”

After she finished speaking, without giving Shang Yanfei a chance to speak, her red lips parted slightly.

The next moment, a spatial rift tore open.

The peerlessly beautiful Empress silently watched the silver-haired beauty’s back until she completely vanished from sight. Then, she gently exhaled, supporting her weak legs, leaning against the stone steps.

“Why did you come back?” she whispered inwardly.

It sounded like she was talking to herself.

As she spoke, a moist mist gradually filled her beautiful eyes, her fingertip tracing down her dress.

Chapter 478: Sect Master Sister: Love █ Mode p1

By now, even a fool would have realized what was happening. Mu Zhian instantly understood, and the first thought that flashed through his mind was: Xue Yi betrayed me?!

Then, he immediately dismissed that idea.

No, it was unlikely to be Xue Yi. She had no reason to reveal the content of their voice transmission to Yao Meng and the others.

But if that was the case, why would Ruoxi suddenly turn into ‘Black Ruoxi’?

Undoubtedly, there was a traitor!

Mu Zhian looked down at the delicate and weak beauty before him, her gentle gaze. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, the movement causing her bosom to sway slightly, faintly revealing the silver sword imprint on the right side of her chest.

“Mu Lang, is your silence a tacit agreement?” Bai Ruoxi raised her eyelids, her beautiful eyes gazing tenderly.

A rather conspicuous gaze from the side snapped Mu Zhian out of his thoughts. He followed the gaze and saw the beauty in the yellow dress standing in the shadows with her arms crossed.

She looked at the young master with disdain and schadenfreude.

Wait… Sister Mengrou?!

Mu Zhian finally remembered something important… Wei Mengrou’s ‘Dao’ was related to concealment. She was inherently good at disguising herself and could erase her presence, making others subconsciously ignore her.

And not long ago, in the Southern Wilderness Divine Hall, besides Yao Meng and Bai Ruoxi, there was another person silently watching the young master’s actions in the hall.

“Mu Lang…?” Bai Ruoxi tilted her head slightly, looking at the young man who had knelt down to remove her shoes and stockings, and called out softly.

Mu Zhian remained silent, only silently removing Bai Ruoxi’s tea-soaked white silk stockings under the restriction of the Heart-Binding Lock, revealing a pair of tender white feet. Her toes seemed to glisten under the tea, then shyly curled under Mu Zhian’s gaze.

“Mu Lang…”

She called out softly again, almost forgetting what Mu Zhian had done with her Heart-Binding Lock in the Southern Wilderness Divine Hall.

Yao Meng’s eyes sparkled, a captivating smile blooming on her devastatingly beautiful and flawless face. She came to the young man’s side, looked at him, who remained silent, and said softly:

“Xue Yi underestimated the Transcendence Realm a bit too much. If it were an ordinary Dao Integration Realm expert, they indeed wouldn’t be able to hear your voice transmission. But she’s still injured and hasn’t recovered. I could hear your voice transmission from the start.”

A hint of shock flashed through Mu Zhian’s eyes. Then, sensing the Jade Empress’s gentle gaze, he sighed softly, “Since you all know what I said and did in the hall with Senior Xue Yi just now, any explanation I give now would seem pale and weak.”

He paused slightly, seemingly somewhat dejected, and continued, “But given the circumstances at the time, I had no other choice.”

A faint smile appeared in Yao Meng’s beautiful eyes, and she teased, “So you were forced?”

Mu Zhian nodded demurely: “If you have to put it that way, then yes.”

“You should know about the Heaven-Chosen One selected by the Heavenly Dao, right?”

“Tap, tap…” Yao Meng’s delicate jade fingers gently tapped the table. She looked at the young man bound by the World-Purifying Vines and said calmly, “Are you referring to that little cultivator called Huang Weifeng?”

Mu Zhian wasn’t the only transmigrator in this world. ‘Transmigrators’ souls often descended upon the Nine Provinces, possessing and replacing certain cultivators.

Ordinary cultivators might not know, but as great powers who had long achieved Dao Integration, they naturally knew about the existence of ‘transmigrators’.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly: “Huang Weifeng is that transmigrator, also the person of great luck chosen by the Heavenly Dao… If I were to suppress him, it would probably take quite a bit of effort to eliminate him.”

“But he trusts Xue Yi very much… Or rather, he wants to use Xue Yi to eliminate me, this stepping stone.”

Speaking of this, the three beauties present naturally understood Mu Zhian’s meaning.

And Mu Zhian didn’t beat around the bush, continuing to explain, “Huang Weifeng is currently in the Southern Wilderness, without the protection of a great power, it’s difficult for him to leave. And now, the entire Southern Wilderness is under Regina and Xue Yi’s control. If they deliberately want to suppress someone’s luck, it’s not difficult.”

A gentle smile appeared on Bai Ruoxi’s cool face: “So Mu Lang used his beauty to make a deal with the Space God?”

Yao Meng looked down at the young man like a lofty being, but seeing his handsome face, somewhere between a youth and a boy, her devastatingly beautiful face quickly softened.

“Xue Yi helps you eliminate the Heaven-Chosen One, and you secretly interact with Xue Yi behind our backs? You’re quite the schemer.”

She walked to Mu Zhian’s side, extended her hand towards his face, and said faintly, “The Space God was trapped in the Abyss for ten thousand years, yet her spiritual sense didn’t dissipate. It’s enough to imagine how terrifying her nature is… Don’t tell me you think she will completely be at your disposal just because you said a few words to her?”

Mu Zhian smiled wryly: “I know… Ultimately, Xue Yi is different from Jade Empress Sister. The relationship between her and me is just a deal.”

He gazed into Yao Meng’s bright, glass-like green eyes, then looked at Bai Ruoxi beside him, and said affectionately, “But you two are different.”

He held Yao Meng’s soft small hand, placed his other hand on Bai Ruoxi’s thigh, and said softly, “I know you’re worried I’ll be used by Xue Yi, but you can rest assured, before Xue Yi transcends and ascends, she will definitely abide by our agreement.”

He had directly schemed against Xue Yi this time, forcing that lofty Space God to… It was impossible for Xue Yi to not be angry and completely convinced.

But the Primordial Witch revealed a secret to Xue Yi earlier—Mu Zhian held the secret to Transcendence.

Xue Yi could choose not to believe it, but there were already two examples, the Jade Empress and the Sword Palace Master. Even if she didn’t believe it, she would still gamble.

Gamble on believing Mu Zhian’s words.

Seeing their silence, Mu Zhian inwardly sighed with relief.

Fortunately, the person before him now was Bai Ruoxi, not Gong Lianyue. If it were the Sword Palace Master, she would probably take him straight to the Sword Palace, without giving him a chance to explain.

Even if she wanted to listen, it would be after taking Mu Zhian to the little black room in the Sword Palace to slowly explain.

“What is Yao Meng thinking?”

After waiting for a while, Mu Zhian looked at Yao Meng’s devastatingly beautiful face. She currently had a contemplative look, as if pondering something.

“I’m thinking, since Miss Wei is the Primordial Witch’s main body, why didn’t she enter Miss Wei’s cauldron after descending earlier, but went somewhere else instead?” Yao Meng said softly.

Logically, the Primordial Witch who appeared in the Southern Wilderness was just a wisp of spiritual sense. If she wanted to protect this spiritual sense, she should have entered Wei Mengrou’s cauldron sooner to nourish it.

However, the Primordial Witch didn’t directly enter Wei Mengrou’s body, but left for somewhere else.

Hearing this, Mu Zhian also showed a contemplative expression.

Then, he turned his head, looked at the maid in the shadows, and said, “Sister Mengrou, do you have any clues?”

This maid, although she might not be the one who leaked the information, actually watched with amusement as her young master was almost thrown into the little black room just now, her eyes still filled with disdain.

If Yao Meng and Ruoxi weren’t here… he would definitely let her experience the might of his stick.

Wei Mengrou shielded her chest with her hands, glanced at Mu Zhian disdainfully, and said, “Can you stop staring at people with such lewd eyes? Your Dao Companions are watching right beside you.”

Hearing this, Bai Ruoxi glanced at Mu Zhian with gentle eyes.

Sister Mengrou’s anti-gank awareness is so high… Mu Zhian coughed lightly and retracted his gaze: “The Primordial Witch wouldn’t leave the Southern Wilderness for no reason, she must have something to do. Sister Mengrou, as the Primordial Witch’s main body, can you sense where she went?”

Such a low-level way to change the subject…

 

 

Chapter 477: Inviting Young Master Mu to the Basement p2

When Yao Meng transcended back then, it wasn’t just the Western Regions and Southern Wilderness that stopped her. If he wanted to know which other places were involved, relying on investigation alone, who knew how long it would take to find any clues.

But if Xue Yi and Regina became the rulers of the Southern Wilderness in the future… it would be different.

“Mu Zhian, you’re really confident in yourself. I only swore not to devour Regina, I didn’t swear allegiance to you.”

Xue Yi snorted softly and transmitted her voice: “Aren’t you afraid I’ll secretly collude with the Western Regions and others, and turn against you?”

“You won’t,” Mu Zhian shook his head.

Before she could speak, Mu Zhian revealed a gentle smile and said softly, “You want to transcend and ascend, right?”

Thump! Thump!

For a moment, Mu Zhian seemed to hear the sound of her heartbeat.

He looked up at Xue Yi’s devastatingly beautiful and charming face.

Xue Yi was also staring at him, her moist, beautiful eyes holding a hint of eagerness: “You’re willing to help me?”

“After all, Senior Xue Yi’s first time was mine. You and I are no different from Dao Companions, who else would I help if not you?” Mu Zhian smiled, “However, nothing in this world can directly lead to Transcendence, not even my Innate Celestial Furnace.”

“Besides continuing to cooperate with the Western Regions and other places, I also need Senior Xue Yi to help me with a small favor.”

“What favor?”

“Eliminate someone,” Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Xue Yi raised her delicate brows slightly, tucking a strand of platinum blonde hair behind her ear. A black beauty mark beneath her right eye added a touch of charm, her snow-white and dazzling skin appearing like ice crystal.

She stood with her long legs crossed, wearing sexy high heels and a white dress, sizing up Mu Zhian: “Who?”

“Huang Weifeng,” Mu Zhian said.

Xue Yi raised her brows: “What does Huang Weifeng have to do with Transcendence?”

“Huang Weifeng has nothing to do with Transcendence, but his Luck has something to do with Transcendence.”

Mu Zhian slowly said, “Huang Weifeng was just a child from an ordinary family in the past. Until one day, the Heavenly Dao bestowed blessings upon him, and he became a person of great Luck, embarking on an invincible path among his peers.”

“Senior Xue Yi, have you ever thought, besides the Spirit Dragon, who else in this world can bestow great Luck upon others?”

Xue Yi’s eyes flickered: “You mean… the Heavenly Dao?”

Mu Zhian nodded slightly: “Senior Xue Yi was just beside us, you should have heard what the Primordial Witch said, right? The Heavenly Dao is the true culprit who suppressed the Primordial Witch. Helping me is also helping your Mother… After eliminating Huang Weifeng, the path to Transcendence will open.”

“But Senior Xue Yi, you should know, I’ve always disliked scheming and such things… And Young Master Huang seems to have been with you before, right?”

Just as Xue Yi was about to say something, Mu Zhian spoke again: “No need to deny it. Senior Xue Yi can decide how to do it yourself.”

“You’re truly clever.”

Xue Yi raised her chin, glancing at Mu Zhian indifferently: “He’s currently in the Southern Wilderness. Even with the Heavenly Dao’s great Luck, as long as he’s constantly suppressed, his Luck will naturally dissipate… He might even lose all his great Luck before leaving the Southern Wilderness.”

Mu Zhian smiled without speaking, waiting for her reply.

“I’ll take care of this matter for you.”

Xue Yi snorted softly, then suddenly lowered her head, leaning close to the young man’s ear, and whispered, “Whether I can transcend and ascend is indeed important to me, but don’t just give me empty promises. Compared to such an ethereal thing as Transcendence, you should give me some other compensation afterward, right?”

“For example… Let me experience the Spiritual Energy of the Innate Celestial Furnace again next time.”

The next moment, she pulled hard on Mu Zhian’s collar.

Xue Yi lowered her head, her red lips gently pressing against Mu Zhian’s.

A fleeting touch, but it completely shattered Mu Zhian’s previous calm demeanor. He subconsciously glanced at the entrance of the hall.

Good, they didn’t notice…

Just talking to Xue Yi via voice transmission was fine, but if Yao Meng and the others saw him flirting with Xue Yi right in front of them before leaving, he would probably be thrown into the little black room after returning to the Two Polarities Sect to reflect on his life.

Xue Yi seemed to notice Mu Zhian’s ‘panic’ and laughed heartily, transmitting her voice:

“Kissing me passionately in the sacred hall created by Mother, in front of your two Dao Companions, two Transcendence Realm Human Emperors, is it thrilling?”

This woman, I was right about her from the start. She’s truly an extremely black-bellied woman…

Mu Zhian quickly glanced at the hall entrance, then wrapped his arm around Xue Yi’s slender waist. As she let out a soft moan, he transmitted his voice, “Then I’ll leave everything to you.”

Xue Yi revealed a charming smile: “I understand.”

“Be careful after you go back,” she said.

Mu Zhian thought she meant to be careful on the way back and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, with Yao Meng and the others, we’ll be back at the Two Polarities Sect soon.”

“That’s not what I meant.”

Xue Yi casually glanced at Wei Mengrou, who was silently watching this scene in the shadows, a playful smile in her eyes, and added inwardly: I meant be careful after you go back.

…

With a Transcendence Realm expert’s help, returning to the Two Polarities Sect from the Southern Wilderness didn’t take much time. Mu Zhian unknowingly arrived back at the Garden of Heavenly Harmony in the blink of an eye.

He lay in his room, staring at the ceiling beams, his thoughts wandering.

Too many things had happened today. He needed to calm down and process all this information.

Knock, knock.

Just then, someone knocked on his door.

Mu Zhian collected his thoughts and said, “Come in.”

The door opened silently. Mu Zhian looked up and immediately saw the devastatingly beautiful woman in the white palace dress walk into the room. She had gathered her long, curling hair and tied it loosely over her shoulder, giving off a homely wife vibe.

The white palace dress couldn’t conceal her proud and graceful figure, her full and perky bosom seemingly about to burst through the fabric.

Mu Zhian’s eyes lit up. He walked forward, pulled Bai Ruoxi’s soft small hand, and led her to the table beside him, pouring her a cup of tea: “Ruoxi, is there something wrong? You just came back, why not rest for a while?”

As he spoke, his gaze couldn’t help but linger on her body. The palace dress completely covered her graceful curves, but a small section of snow-white skin was faintly visible beneath the hem, carrying an inexplicable allure.

“I have something to discuss with Mu Lang,” Bai Ruoxi said softly.

“What is it?” Mu Zhian asked.

“Don’t rush, Mu Lang, have some tea first, and we’ll talk slowly.”

Bai Ruoxi raised her teacup, her eyes charming and alluring.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly, about to take the teacup, but saw Bai Ruoxi’s hand tremble slightly, spilling the tea on her feet and chest.

This young lady’s skin was already like jade-fat. Now, moistened by the tea, it appeared even more captivating under the candlelight.

“Mu Lang… Don’t look at me, my shoes and stockings are wet, I’ll go and take them off.”

Bai Ruoxi’s face flushed with shyness. She subconsciously retracted her feet, her jade-white feet enveloped in white stockings beneath her embroidered shoes. Now wet with tea, under Mu Zhian’s gaze, her eyes shy and timid, she bit her lip lightly and hurriedly stood up, wanting to leave.

Mu Zhian immediately reached out and grabbed her small hand, his gaze unable to help but glance at her ample bosom. He coughed lightly, “Let me help you.”

“That’s not very appropriate… How can I let Mu Lang do such a thing?”

Bai Ruoxi’s cheeks were flushed with a lovely blush, her red lips painted with bright rouge. Her charming and alluring eyes looked at him shyly and timidly, making Mu Zhian’s heart ripple.

“It’s fine, we’re Dao Companions. This small matter is nothing. Why be so polite, it makes us seem distant!”

Mu Zhian said sincerely, “And it’s so late now, it’s not convenient to go back and forth.”

Bai Ruoxi blushed slightly and nodded gently. Then, seeing Mu Zhian bend down, seemingly to help her remove her white silk stockings, she suddenly said softly, “Mu Lang thinks it’s inconvenient to go back and forth between rooms, but is it convenient to go in and out of other things?”

Mu Zhian was stunned, looking up at Bai Ruoxi’s moist, beautiful eyes. After a while, he finally understood.

Holy crap, Ruoxi can even flirt now? I didn’t even react to what she just said… Mu Zhian smiled gently, about to speak.

Just then, Bai Ruoxi said softly again, “Mu Lang, why don’t we change locations?”

“Change locations…? Is here not okay?” Mu Zhian asked doubtfully.

“This place is also good, but not very suitable for the current promiscuous Mu Lang,” Bai Ruoxi narrowed her beautiful eyes, gazing at Mu Zhian gently.

Mu Zhian’s heart skipped a beat.

At this moment, he had a bad feeling.

He suddenly saw a green light flash before his eyes, almost instantly turning into countless vines, quietly binding his feet.

At the same time, the Heart-Binding Lock instantly bound his hands.

At some unknown point, Yao Meng’s figure appeared in the room, looking at him with a half-smile.

Wei Mengrou stood by the door with her arms crossed, watching her young master with amusement.

“A very exquisite basement has been built within the Sword Palace. It just so happens that everything is there.”

Bai Ruoxi slightly bent her knees, looked down at Mu Zhian, who was about to remove her shoes and stockings, pursed her alluringly soft lips, leaned close to the young man’s ear, and whispered:

“Come and accompany us there, Mu Lang~”

Chapter 477: Inviting Young Master Mu to the Basement p1

The Primordial Witch exhaled sweetly, a satisfied expression on her face.

She looked at Wei Mengrou, a faint smile in her silver eyes.

Mu Zhian reacted almost immediately, shielding Wei Mengrou behind him.

“You really care about your maid, are you that worried I’ll devour her?”

The Primordial Witch’s beautiful eyes held a mixture of annoyance and resentment as she stared at Mu Zhian.

“Don’t forget, she’s the main body of the Primordial Witch. Even if I enter her cauldron, I’ll only merge with the Primordial Witch within her body, it won’t affect her.”

Mu Zhian was silent for a moment, then hesitated, “Are you truly an independent individual?”

“You can consider me an individual, or you can consider me the Primordial Witch.”

The Primordial Witch took half a step forward, as if wanting to approach Mu Zhian.

Yao Meng’s red lips parted slightly, and she said faintly, “If you have something to say, why not say it from there?”

The light of the World-Purifying Green Lotus floated in mid-air, enveloping Mu Zhian, blocking the Primordial Witch’s approach.

The Primordial Witch smiled faintly at Yao Meng.

This woman was much calmer than she imagined. She had thought her actions would enrage the Jade Empress, but as expected of the Jade Empress of the Dao of Tranquility… even if she was angry, she still maintained a calm smile on her face.

The Primordial Witch smiled sweetly and gently, “The Primordial Witch can create all things in the world. Back then, she divided her seven emotions and six desires into several spiritual senses, while the main body lost all emotions and was sealed with immortal gold chains.”

“Joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, and desire. And I am the combination of love and desire,” the Primordial Witch revealed the truth.

Mu Zhian’s eyes flickered: “Then what is Sister Mengrou?”

“She is the Primordial Witch’s vessel.”

Mu Zhian continued asking, “What exactly is within the black mist of the Southern Wilderness? I heard that any living being who steps into the black mist will have their existence devoured, and no one will remember them.”

In this world, there was something even more terrifying than death, which was having no one remember you after you die.

And the black mist of the Southern Wilderness was such a dangerous thing.

“The Heavenly Dao,” the Primordial Witch revealed a truth that shocked Mu Zhian.

“The existence deep within the Southern Wilderness black mist is the Heavenly Dao?” Mu Zhian stared intently at the Primordial Witch’s eyes, “How is that possible? The Heavenly Dao is lofty and beyond reach, unable to interfere with the Nine Provinces. How could it be in the depths of the Southern Wilderness black mist?”

The Primordial Witch said calmly, “The Heavenly Dao is lofty and beyond reach, unable to easily interfere with the Nine Provinces. Without anyone violating the rules of heaven and earth, it can’t send down Heavenly Punishment, because even the Heavenly Dao itself is bound by the rules of heaven and earth.”

“But there are always exceptions.”

Hearing the Primordial Witch’s words, Yao Meng’s expression turned slightly dazed, and she murmured softly, “The Heavenly Dao indeed can’t directly send down Heavenly Punishment without violating the rules of heaven and earth, but there are indeed exceptions… I once heard that if the Heavenly Dao is willing, it can erase a person’s existence.”

She paused, then continued, “However, the price is that the Heavenly Dao will also be affected, damaging its origin.”

“Jade Empress, although you haven’t been at Dao Integration for long, you’re very smart. No wonder Mu Lang took a liking to you,” the Primordial Witch smiled brightly, “What’s deep within the black mist isn’t exactly the Heavenly Dao, but the Heavenly Dao’s Origin Arrow.”

“The black mist itself doesn’t devour a person’s existence. However, the black mist is influenced by the Heavenly Dao’s Origin Arrow, so it erodes all living beings that approach it, devouring their very existence.”

“The Heavenly Dao once forcibly acted against a certain living being on earth, thus damaging its origin?”

Combining the words of the Primordial Witch and Yao Meng, Mu Zhian seemed to realize something, his eyes widening slightly, staring at the Primordial Witch, and reaching an astonishing conclusion.

At this moment, countless images flashed rapidly through Mu Zhian’s mind, like a runaway film projector.

He recalled being in that secret room in Two Polarities Peak with Senior Sister Lan and mistakenly entering a mysterious grotto-heaven. And within the depths of that grotto-heaven was a woman… Her body pierced by an arrow, seemingly in slumber.

Mu Zhian stared blankly at the Primordial Witch, his face slightly pale, and asked urgently, “The one sealed by the Origin Arrow in the depths of the Southern Wilderness, is it the Primordial Witch?”

“You’ve been to the depths of the Southern Wilderness?” Now it was the Primordial Witch’s turn to be surprised.

“But how is that possible? If you’ve been to the depths of the Southern Wilderness, how could you not be swallowed by the black mist…”

Before she could finish speaking, Mu Zhian took out a black box from his storage ring and asked, staring at the Primordial Witch, “Do you recognize this black box?”

The Primordial Witch hummed in acknowledgement, “This is the black box another ‘me’ left in the World Sea.”

Hearing this, Mu Zhian finally couldn’t help but ask, “How many Primordial Witch spiritual senses are there?”

The Primordial Witch looked at Wei Mengrou, “Three. Besides me, another spiritual sense is currently within her body.”

Mu Zhian was silent for a moment, processing the Primordial Witch’s words.

Wei Mengrou was the Primordial Witch’s ‘main body’, and the obsession within her was originally just obsession. However, later, Imperial Advisor Gu Buxing of the Great Qian Dynasty summoned her spiritual sense, merging her obsession and spiritual sense… This was the Primordial Witch’s second spiritual sense.

In other words, the second witch’s spiritual sense from the World Sea was currently within Wei Mengrou’s body.

And the Primordial Witch before him was the third spiritual sense. She knew many unknown ‘secrets’ of the past.

“So, the current Sister Mengrou has become the true Primordial Witch?” Mu Zhian asked.

The Primordial Witch shook her head, “I said it just now, she is the Primordial Witch’s vessel.”

Mu Zhian pondered slightly for a moment and said softly, “Like the relationship between Ruoxi and the Palace Master?”

Thinking carefully, the reincarnated great powers who left behind measures for themselves seemed to all have ‘twin’ relationships. Ye Lingxuan and the Reincarnated Empress, Gong Lianyue and Bai Ruoxi, and so on…

A thought suddenly struck Mu Zhian, and he asked, “Then what about the Primordial Witch I saw in the black box? She seemed to be suppressed by the Heavenly Dao’s Origin Arrow—”

“She wasn’t suppressed by the Origin Arrow, she was suppressing the Origin Arrow,” the Primordial Witch’s tone turned unusually cold, her gaze no longer as gentle as before.

“A cultivator can suppress the Heavenly Dao…?” Mu Zhian asked in surprise.

The Heavenly Dao was the aggregate of all living beings. All living things were under the Heavenly Dao’s restriction. Only by transcending and ascending could one escape the Heavenly Dao’s control.

The Primordial Witch said faintly, “In this world, the only one who can suppress that Origin Arrow is her, but even she can only suppress it with her own body.”

So the Primordial Witch in the ‘black box’ appeared to be suppressed by the arrow, but was actually suppressing the Heavenly Dao’s Origin Arrow?

The ‘grotto-heaven’ within the black box led to the depths of the Southern Wilderness. Back then, he and Lan Mulian directly entered the black box’s grotto-heaven, so they weren’t affected by the Southern Wilderness’ ‘black mist’.

The Heavenly Dao’s Origin Arrow, the three witch spiritual senses, these things seemed chaotic on the surface, but in reality, all truths pointed to the black box.

In other words, the person who gave him the ‘black box’ was the source of the truth.

“Don’t you plan to return to Sister Mengrou’s body?” Mu Zhian collected his thoughts and suddenly asked.

The Primordial Witch pursed her alluring red lips, glancing at Mu Zhian charmingly, “I finally woke up from my slumber, how can I go back so soon?”

She sensed Yao Meng’s spiritual sense faintly locking onto her and chuckled softly, “Don’t worry, I’m not planning to take Mu Lang away now.”

“After all, he will be mine sooner or later.”

A complex formation faintly appeared beneath her feet.

Having finally found the third spiritual sense, Mu Zhian still had many questions for the Primordial Witch. Seeing her about to leave, he couldn’t help asking, “Where are you going?”

The Primordial Witch revealed a sweet and captivating smile, “Mu Lang caring so much about me makes me very happy.”

“Don’t worry, we’ll meet again soon.”

After she finished speaking, the teleportation formation beneath her feet quietly lit up, dense black mist spreading.

Yao Meng raised her delicate brows slightly, flicked her finger, and threw out an inconspicuous green lotus seed. The lotus seed turned into a streak of light, shooting towards the Primordial Witch’s body.

However, before the green lotus seed could get close, it silently dissolved into liquid within the black mist.

The Primordial Witch rolled her eyes, her charm overflowing: “Don’t use such petty tricks before this Seat.”

The next moment, her figure silently vanished from the Southern Wilderness Divine Hall.

Mu Zhian looked up in the direction where the Primordial Witch disappeared. Her slender figure was already gone, but she gave him one last deep look.

He looked to the side, seeing Yao Meng and Bai Ruoxi gazing in the direction where the Primordial Witch left, seemingly lost in thought.

Mu Zhian couldn’t understand. The Primordial Witch’s ‘main body’ was right before her, why didn’t she enter Wei Mengrou’s cauldron, but left alone instead?

Where exactly was she going?

…

In any case, Regina’s crisis was resolved, and Mu Zhian’s agreement was fulfilled.

Although the Primordial Witch’s departure alone was puzzling, at least he knew what the arrow in the ‘black box’ was, and also learned a very important piece of information—the first Primordial Witch spiritual sense in the black box was suppressing the Heavenly Dao’s Origin Arrow.

Before leaving the hall, Mu Zhian looked at the two beauties not far ahead, one in white and one in green, then transmitted his voice to Xue Yi behind him: “Senior Xue Yi, don’t forget your oath from earlier.”

Xue Yi looked at Mu Zhian with complex eyes and replied via voice transmission: “Once an oath is made, even a Dao Integration Realm expert cannot violate it. I won’t devour her spiritual sense.”

Seeing Mu Zhian nod gently, turning to leave the hall, she hesitated, then asked again via voice transmission: “What exactly is your relationship with Mother?”

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment: “If you’re talking about Sister Mengrou, she’s my maid.”

Xue Yi’s eyes held a playful glint, and she transmitted her voice: “The formations in the Southern Wilderness Divine Hall were set by Mother in the past. The Jade Empress and the others can’t hear your voice transmission.”

“Although she’s my maid, she’s also one of my wives,” Mu Zhian said more sincerely this time.

He paused, looked at the Space God before him, gazed affectionately, and continued transmitting his voice: “Actually, you are too.”

Even Xue Yi, who was good at disguising herself, couldn’t help but give Mu Zhian a disdainful and annoyed look after hearing this.

Had this man already forgotten what he just did to her?

He actually had the nerve to say this now.

Xue Yi walked towards the hall entrance in her sexy high heels, her white dress trailing on the ground. Passing by Mu Zhian, she paused slightly, turned her head, and looked at him, “Do you dare say this to the Jade Empress and the others?”

She was originally about the same height as Mu Zhian, but wearing these sexy high heels, she was actually half a head taller than him. Her platinum blonde hair rested lightly on her shoulders, setting off her pure and charming face.

“Naturally, I dare,” Mu Zhian replied calmly via voice transmission.

He paused, “However, it’s best not to let a third person know about our relationship for now.”

So you still don’t dare… Just as Xue Yi thought of this, she heard Mu Zhian continue transmitting his voice: “The Southern Wilderness cooperated with the Western Regions and other places in the past, suppressing Yao Meng and preventing her Transcendence, right?”

Xue Yi shook her head: “That’s all in the past. Moreover, I didn’t know about this. The Southern Wilderness won’t collude with them again in the future—”

Mu Zhian took half a step forward, glanced at the hall entrance, then gently patted her beautiful leg through her dress, leaned close to Xue Yi’s ear, and whispered, “You should replace the past Three Pillar Gods of the Southern Wilderness and continue cooperating with the Western Regions and other places.”

“In the future, the Southern Wilderness will be in the dark, and I will be in the light, making it more convenient to gather information.”

 

Chapter 476: Jade Empress, Your Husband Is Really Something 

Actually, for Mu Zhian, this kind of scene was something he had long anticipated.

However, he didn’t expect that even after leaving the Eastern Continent and coming to the distant Southern Wilderness, he would still encounter an ‘old lover’.

The Great Qian Dynasty in the Eastern Continent generally followed a system of one wife and multiple concubines. As a veteran who had long navigated the flowers, what storms hadn’t Mu Zhian weathered?

He had even been to the little black room in the Jade Pool Holy Land!

But in the end, hadn’t he still suppressed Yao Meng, turning her into an obedient and gentle woman?

Mmm… These words were just to deceive himself.

But in any case, Mu Zhian’s fishpond was gradually reaching a state of equilibrium.

The Ye Clan alliance of Ye Lingxuan, Ye Qian, and Ye Qingxin, the Lan Clan alliance, and the Jade Empress-Bai Ruoxi alliance, etc…

And among the fish in his fishpond, the two he couldn’t understand the most were Shang Yanfei and the Primordial Witch.

The Sect Master went without saying. Although Mu Zhian was the fishpond master, he still didn’t know whether Shang Yanfei was the fish, or whether he was the fish.

Perhaps one day he would suddenly realize that he was actually the unique fish in Sect Master Sister’s pond.

As for the Primordial Witch…

Up to now, most of Mu Zhian’s fortunes were related to the Primordial Witch.

His personal interface, the mysterious ancient coffin, the black box, the method to enter the Heavenly Court… Many of the secret realms he had been to were left behind by the Primordial Witch.

Even that drop of Immortal Ascension Realm Essence Blood was also left by the Primordial Witch.

Wei Mengrou, the maid by his side, was the main spiritual sense of the Primordial Witch, protecting his safety since back in Tianxuan City.

Because of this, Mu Zhian’s feelings towards the Primordial Witch were quite complicated.

If he had to say he liked her… then naturally he did. However, he didn’t expect each of the Primordial Witch’s spiritual senses to have such different personalities… This woman before him clearly had a yandere demeanor.

If Yao Meng hadn’t appeared in time, Mu Zhian probably wouldn’t be in the Southern Wilderness Divine Hall now.

“Are you alright?” Yao Meng looked down at the young man in her arms and asked softly.

Why do I feel like our roles have reversed… Mu Zhian nodded slightly, “I’m fine.”

Yao Meng smiled and hummed softly, then glanced around the hall.

The first thing that caught her eye was the Primordial Witch’s slender figure, somewhat frail, dressed in a black gauze dress, a sash outlining her slender waist.

Her gaze swept past the Primordial Witch, landing on Xue Yi, enveloped in a mysterious black mist. Then, her gaze lingered on Xue Yi for a long time, as if seeing the Spiritual Energy within her cauldron through her body.

Heavenly Court Spiritual Energy…?

Mu Zhian felt Yao Meng’s gaze on him, carrying a playful smile, as if saying: You’re really something, daring to be intimate with a Southern Wilderness god in the Southern Wilderness Divine Hall?

Just then, the Primordial Witch’s gaze turned cold, a dangerous curve appearing at the corner of her mouth, “Jade Empress, this is between Mu Lang and me. If you don’t release him, don’t blame me for bullying a junior.”

Before the Primordial Witch, even the Jade Empress had to address her as ‘Senior’, because the time the Primordial Witch achieved Dao Integration far exceeded people’s imagination. Before this Fairy Yao Meng even achieved Dao Integration, the Primordial Witch was already a great power in the Nine Provinces.

However, this level of threat naturally didn’t mean much to the Jade Empress, who had cuckolded many great powers.

Yao Meng lowered her eyelids slightly, gazing at the young man in her arms tenderly, and said with a faint smile, “My marriage with my husband was witnessed by the Nine Provinces. His matters are my matters. Why does the Primordial Witch make it sound like I’m an outsider?”

The Primordial Witch’s gaze instantly sharpened, and she sneered, “You know very well how you married him. If it weren’t for him helping you transcend and ascend, would he need to resort to such measures, marrying you? That wedding was a sham from the start. The ones who got married on stage in the Holy King City weren’t even you.”

The Primordial Witch’s memories were interconnected; she naturally knew everything that happened back then.

Yao Meng’s immortal voice, pleasant and melodious, said slowly, “Whether the wedding was fake or not depends on the world, and what he and I think.”

Yao Meng looked up, casually glancing at the Primordial Witch, and said with a smile, “As long as we both acknowledge that wedding, then there’s no such thing as a fake marriage.”

“Right, husband?”

Silence instantly fell upon the hall.

Don’t drag me into this, you two can fight amongst yourselves, but don’t pull me in! Mu Zhian felt immense pressure.

Seeing Mu Zhian’s silence, the Primordial Witch’s face turned gloomy, cold as ice.

At the entrance of the hall, Wei Mengrou looked at the young master with complex eyes.

If he acknowledged that wedding now, Mu Zhian had no doubt what would happen if this news reached the others.

Ruoxi’s sword was probably already itching for action.

But if he denied the wedding… how would he deal with Yao Meng?

Cold sweat dripped from Mu Zhian’s back.

And in this silence, a crisp and pleasant voice suddenly echoed softly through the hall:

“You should also know that wedding was just a plan to deceive the world, it doesn’t count. You also said this to Mu Lang back then, didn’t you, Jade Empress?”

A dazzling Sword Intent filled the world. Accompanying the voice was an imposing woman stepping out from a spatial rift.

“Why are you here too?” Wei Mengrou asked in surprise.

“I wasn’t reassured when Mu Lang said he wanted to borrow the Heart-Binding Lock, so I came to take a look.”

Gong Lianyue said faintly, “I remember before the wedding, Mu Lang told us in the Garden of Heavenly Harmony that the wedding was just a plan, it didn’t count.”

“Oh?”

Yao Meng said calmly, “But the night he married me, he also told me that to him, there was no difference between me and his wife.”

She looked at the Primordial Witch with a slight smile: “You keep saying you’re his wife, then have you ever married him?”

The Primordial Witch was slightly stunned, about to speak.

“It seems you haven’t, right?”

Yao Meng slightly raised her snow-white chin and said with a smile, “You can be called his wife even without being married, and even want to take him away?”

Although she wore a kind smile, her words were incredibly aggressive, almost saying outright: You’re not worthy!

If any other fish in Mu Zhian’s pond heard Yao Meng’s words, they would probably fall silent.

But the Primordial Witch with the yandere personality clearly didn’t buy it and sneered, “I hope your realm is half as strong as your mouth.”

Beneath her feet, a faint black mist seemed to slowly spread outwards, enveloping everyone in the hall, as if wanting to devour them all.

Gong Lianyue’s figure instantly vanished from her spot. The Bronze Sword behind her descended, turning into a golden light like a high wall, blocking the black mist.

Weng!

With a buzzing sound, the high wall formed by the Bronze Sword forcibly dispersed the black mist.

Yao Meng released Mu Zhian, a pale green light glowing on her fingertip, her beautiful eyes gazing intently. But time within the entire Southern Wilderness Divine Hall silently froze at this moment.

The Primordial Witch restrained the surging black mist, her beautiful eyes narrowing: “You two mere juniors, do you really think you can do as you please after transcending?”

“Ruoxi doesn’t know if she can do as she pleases, but I know that even facing other ‘juniors’ in the future, I would never pull rank, let alone be obsessed with a little cultivator whose lifespan isn’t even twenty years, wanting to take him away and elope.”

Gong Lianyue’s originally imposing aura turned gentle, cool, and delicate. Then, Bai Ruoxi’s voice sounded faintly.

Among those present, only Bai Ruoxi was suitable to say this. After all, only she and Wei Mengrou were the same age as Mu Zhian.

The Primordial Witch tilted her head slightly to look at her and said coldly, “You, a little cultivator who hasn’t even reached Soul Transformation Realm, have the right to speak here?”

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Bai Ruoxi’s eyes instantly reddened, tears welling up. She looked at Mu Zhian with teary eyes, sobbing slightly, “Mu Lang~”

She took half a step forward, approaching Mu Zhian, holding his hand with her small hand, and looking at him pitifully.

Even Mu Zhian couldn’t withstand her pitiful and delicate appearance.

Just as Mu Zhian was about to say something, Bai Ruoxi gently tugged at his clothes, tears in her eyes, and said softly:

“Mu Lang, don’t be angry. Although I’m your first Dao Companion, Senior Witch is right. I’m just a little cultivator, insignificant. It was my fault just now, I shouldn’t have spoken… I’m sorry.”

The Primordial Witch raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, taking a deep look at the beauty in the palace dress nestled beside Mu Zhian.

Although this girl’s realm wasn’t high, she knew how to control a man’s heart very well. Her words just now, although seemingly making a concession, were actually advancing by retreating.

You say I’m not qualified to comment, but I’m Mu Zhian’s current Dao Companion in this life. If I’m not qualified, then who is?

This was Bai Ruoxi’s true meaning.

Plus, there was also Gong Lianyue’s spiritual sense… This woman’s strength couldn’t be underestimated either.

This seemingly cool, delicate, and unassertive young lady was no less tricky than the Jade Empress.

The Primordial Witch didn’t press further, but looked directly at the entrance of the hall, past everyone, and gazed at the maid in the yellow dress, who hadn’t spoken a word from beginning to end.

“Don’t you have anything to say?”

The moment she spoke, everyone’s gazes turned towards Wei Mengrou almost simultaneously.

Mu Zhian also looked over, seeing Wei Mengrou’s always calm expression reflected in his eyes.

Speaking of which, it was strange, why hadn’t Sister Mengrou said a word from beginning to end?

Although Sister Mengrou was the type who wished for her young master’s death, and would probably even clap and cheer before the little black room when he was being disciplined,

no matter what, the Primordial Witch was Wei Mengrou. Why hadn’t Wei Mengrou said a word before this Primordial Witch with a seemingly ‘yandere’ personality?

Seemingly not used to being stared at by a group of people, Wei Mengrou feigned indifference: “This matter has nothing to do with me. If you have anything, just talk to him.”

The Primordial Witch casually glanced at Yao Meng, Bai Ruoxi, and Xue Yi, then smiled faintly: “I merely put into action what you were thinking in your heart, yet you, you’re pushing it all away.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall was stunned.

Yao Meng narrowed her eyes, staring at the Primordial Witch’s frail figure, then at Wei Mengrou, who remained silent in the shadows.

Thinking carefully, although she knew the maid beside Mu Zhian, she didn’t really understand her.

In the past, the women around Mu Zhian had fought, even physically, to claim him for themselves… Yet from beginning to end, Wei Mengrou hadn’t made a single move.

Just silently staying by the young master’s side.

But anyone who liked someone would want to claim them for themselves…

Wei Mengrou should be no exception.

Bai Ruoxi frowned slightly and said, “What exactly do you mean by what you said earlier?”

The Primordial Witch casually glanced at everyone and said faintly, “I am one of the Primordial Witch’s spiritual senses. Liking Mu Lang and wanting to be with him forever is naturally also the ‘Primordial Witch’s’ wish.”

“Palace Master, what do you think I mean?”

Just as Mu Zhian was about to speak, Yao Meng suddenly said lightly, “As long as one is human, they will have emotions and desires, even a witch is the same.”

“Your true identity is probably more than just the Primordial Witch’s spiritual sense, right?”

“Your existence also symbolizes the Primordial Witch’s emotions and desires, right?” Yao Meng asked.

Mu Zhian was shocked, subconsciously looking at Wei Mengrou.

Yao Meng’s words were like a wake-up call.

Why would the third Primordial Witch spiritual sense have a ‘yandere’ personality?

Why was it completely opposite to Wei Mengrou’s personality?

Perhaps, when the Primordial Witch divided into three spiritual senses, each spiritual sense controlled part of her personality, or rather, her emotions and desires!

No wonder Wei Mengrou hadn’t said anything, because what the Primordial Witch was doing now might be what Wei Mengrou usually thought about!

The maid wasn’t just content with staying by the young master’s side, she also had a desire to possess him…

Seemingly sensing the young master’s strange gaze, Wei Mengrou’s face flushed red. She silently looked away, coughed lightly, and said, “Don’t… don’t listen to her nonsense. The personalities of each Primordial Witch are different. What she thinks doesn’t represent what I think.”

“Mmm, that’s right… This isn’t what I’m thinking. The Primordial Witch has nothing to do with me.”

As if to maintain her image, Wei Mengrou reiterated.

But her explanation seemed pale and weak.

“Whether it’s what you’re thinking or not, we’ll know just by seeing if we can merge later.”

The Primordial Witch’s breathtakingly beautiful face held a hint of frailty, her silver eyes filled with a smile as she walked forward barefoot.

Sensing Gong Lianyue and Yao Meng’s wariness towards her, the Primordial Witch ignored them, gazing at Mu Zhian tenderly.

“I know what Mu Lang wants to ask me.”

“You want to know what kind of personality I am of the Primordial Witch, right?”

“I will only tell you the answer,” she said with a faint smile, mysteriously.

As she spoke, she gracefully approached Mu Zhian. At the same time, her cauldron completely stopped functioning, the black mist quietly receding, her Spiritual Energy converging, not releasing the slightest bit of hostility.

Yao Meng didn’t stop her, and Gong Lianyue also restrained her Sword Qi.

The Primordial Witch completely withdrawing her hostility and Spiritual Energy could be considered a compromise, or a surrender.

Finally, she came to Mu Zhian’s front, pursed her lips, leaned slightly closer, and whispered, “The Jade Empress guessed correctly, Mu Lang.”

“I am the Primordial Witch, but you can also call me the Lustful Witch.”

Mu Zhian’s eyes flickered: “You’re the combination of the Primordial Witch’s ‘love and lust’ personalities?”

No wonder she was so obsessed with Mu Lang. Love was her affection for Mu Zhian, and lust was a desire for possession. The ‘Primordial’ Witch wanted to possess Mu Zhian, even take him away, precisely because of this…

At this moment, Yao Meng understood.

“What do you want to do?”

Just then, Gong Lianyue suddenly sensed something, saw the Primordial Witch reaching for Mu Zhian, and immediately summoned the Bronze Sword, wanting to stop her.

Yao Meng was already wary. The World-Purifying Green Lotus descended instantly, as if wanting to seal the Primordial Witch’s cauldron.

However, the Primordial Witch let the World-Purifying Green Lotus descend, simply wrapping her arms around Mu Zhian’s neck.

Mu Zhian’s eyes reflected her delicate and beautiful face as she gradually approached him.

Then, his lips tasted the Primordial Witch’s soft and sweet lips, carrying a faint fragrance and a unique thrill.

Before he could savor the softness and sweetness of her lips, Mu Zhian suddenly felt a chill down his spine and instantly reacted, wanting to push the Primordial Witch away.

But she held him tightly, not letting go.

In the hall, Yao Meng watched the Primordial Witch’s unrestrained actions, as if enjoying a cake, momentarily lost in thought.

This scene seemed somewhat familiar…

After a while, the Primordial Witch slowly exhaled a sweet fragrance, letting out a satisfied sigh, a charming smile appearing on her face.

She slightly tilted her head and, under Yao Meng’s gradually fading calm smile, said with a beaming smile:

“Your husband tastes really good.”

Chapter 475: Even if It’s the Primordial Witch, I’ll Cuckold Her For You! p2

Xue Yi pursed her lips, staring intently at the Primordial Witch.

It was no wonder. She had been scheming for ten thousand years, waiting for the birth of Regina, a life created by the Primordial Witch… However, before that, due to her lifespan issue, she had no choice but to go to the Eastern Continent, seeking Emperor Medicine to extend her life. Unexpectedly, she was trapped in the Abyss, almost having her spiritual sense shattered.

Now, after finally devouring Regina, the answer she heard was completely different from what she imagined.

“Devouring Regina can lead to Transcendence, this isn’t a lie.”

“But I haven’t felt myself comprehending the Dao Rhyme of Transcendence—”

Before Xue Yi could finish speaking, the Primordial Witch chuckled softly, tilted her head, and looked at Mu Zhian: “Isn’t the possibility of Transcendence right before your eyes now?”

Xue Yi’s beautiful eyes flickered. She was a woman with both beauty and intelligence. Hearing the Primordial Witch’s words, she naturally thought of something.

Thinking carefully, there were currently two Transcendence Realm experts in the Nine Provinces, the Jade Empress and the Sword Palace Master… And if there was any commonality between them, it could only be—

—Mu Zhian.

Xue Yi gave Mu Zhian a meaningful look, recalling the vast Spiritual Energy not belonging to the Nine Provinces that he had just infused into her body, suspicion rising in her heart.

…Could the Jade Empress and the Sword Palace Master’s Transcendence be related to him?

The Primordial Witch lazily stretched, revealing a small section of her snow-white and delicate waist.

Her curves were between those of a mature woman and a young girl, her figure graceful, her smile bright and cheerful, a stark contrast to the dim hall.

The moment their gazes met, even Mu Zhian, who had navigated the flowers for many years, felt his heart race, his gaze involuntarily fixed on her, as if her every smile, every casual movement, could captivate all beings.

“Don’t you have anything to say to me, Mu Lang?”

Seemingly noticing Mu Zhian’s slightly dazed look, the Primordial Witch beckoned gently to him.

Her casual glance, her movement, even her words seemed to reach the depths of his soul. Mu Zhian’s gaze was somewhat dazed, his eyes losing some of their light.

Under her gentle gaze, he slowly moved towards the Primordial Witch, step by step.

Thinking carefully, he had never truly looked at the Primordial Witch’s appearance. Although she had the same face as Wei Mengrou, their temperaments were completely different.

Mu Zhian gazed at the Primordial Witch through the hazy black mist, and her gentle gaze that seemed to embrace all things.

All the doubts in his heart vanished, replaced by an uncontrollable urge—to be intimate with her at all costs.

Xue Yi watched this scene and subconsciously said, “Mother—”

The Primordial Witch tilted her head slightly to look at her, placing a finger against her red lips, making a ‘shh’ gesture.

Then, she saw the young man approaching, a captivatingly beautiful smile appearing on her face, and extended her right hand towards him.

“I know you have many questions. Come with me first… After this, I will tell you everything you want to know.”

As her words fell, Mu Zhian suddenly snapped out of his daze, his brows furrowing slightly, sensing something amiss.

“Charm technique…?” Mu Zhian asked.

“Not quite.”

The Primordial Witch gently shook her head, a charming smile blooming on her frail and delicate face: “I just made some slight adjustments to the rules of heaven and earth.”

“After I leave with you, how long until we can come back?” Mu Zhian asked.

The Primordial Witch asked strangely, “Come back for what?”

Mu Zhian was momentarily speechless, thinking, Does she want me to abandon my entire fishpond?

Leaving for a few days was fine, but if he left for several years… the Nine Provinces would probably be turned upside down.

The Primordial Witch smiled, pursing her lips, moved closer to Mu Zhian, took his hand, and gently placed it on her chest, her silver eyes deep and alluring: “After leaving with Mu Lang this time, I’ll take you to the World Sea, then… let Mu Lang properly make up for my loneliness of tens of thousands of years.”

Strands of black mist seemed to silently drift towards Mu Zhian in the air. A formation quietly appeared beneath their feet, seemingly about to take him out of the Southern Wilderness Divine Hall.

Seeing this, Xue Yi’s delicate brows furrowed slightly, about to intervene.

She didn’t know why she wanted to stop the Primordial Witch, but no matter what, she couldn’t let the Primordial Witch take Mu Zhian away now.

And the matter of her being ‘framed’ by Mu Zhian hadn’t been resolved yet. Moreover, this person had too many secrets; she couldn’t just let him leave.

However, at this moment, black mist silently spread beneath Xue Yi’s feet, like a swamp, completely engulfing her body.

“Your strength isn’t even one-fifth of what it used to be. The past you might have been able to exchange a few blows with me, but now… just be obedient.”

The Primordial Witch smiled gently, raising her hand to caress Mu Zhian’s face, her silver eyes filled with endless charm: “I share memories with her. She was too gentle to you in the past, which is why there are more and more girls around you.”

“Do you love me, Mu Lang?”

Mu Zhian, always steady, his mind racing, said softly, “Naturally…”

He paused, seeing the Primordial Witch’s affectionate gaze, and continued, “It’s no problem for me to leave with you… But I have to tell the others first, so they won’t worry later…”

The Primordial Witch gently shook her head: “No need to tell them. After all, their love for Mu Lang is only so-so.”

“Even if their love is combined, it can’t compare to my love alone. Only I have always loved Mu Lang deeply, and only I will always consider Mu Lang’s interests. Other women only like Mu Lang’s appearance. None of them can endure tens of thousands of years of loneliness waiting for one person. The so-called ‘love’ is just a feeling that fades with time.”

She gently wrapped her arms around Mu Zhian’s neck and whispered, “Except for me.”

So even though you’re both Sister Mengrou, why is your personality so different? Is this a split personality?! Mu Zhian complained wildly inwardly. However, when he tried to speak, he found he couldn’t.

The influence of the rules of heaven and earth.

The maid who usually followed Mu Zhian was the type who appeared cold on the surface, but was actually easily shy. She was once an innocent and uneducated girl…

And the second Primordial Witch spiritual sense, although already showing some yandere tendencies, was still gentle and hadn’t done anything too outrageous.

But now…

This third Primordial Witch spiritual sense… something seemed wrong. Was this spiritual sense a yandere?

Cold sweat dripped from Mu Zhian’s forehead.

“Also, after we go to the World Sea, Mu Lang, don’t call me ‘you’ anymore. I am Mu Lang’s true wife.”

The Primordial Witch’s tone was filled with gentleness and love.

She raised her fingertip, and strands of black mist silently enveloped her and Mu Zhian. The black formation beneath their feet, mysterious and magnificent, quietly lit up.

Just then, a green light silently appeared between the two, forcibly separating Mu Zhian and the Primordial Witch.

Mu Zhian felt his face buried in a soft and ample bosom.

There seemed to be… a faint fragrance.

The rules of heaven and earth were rewritten once again, no longer under the Primordial Witch’s control.

The woman in the black gauze dress looked at the empty hall, the gentle smile on her face finally fading slightly. She casually lifted her eyelids and looked towards the hall entrance.

This glance made her gaze freeze.

A fairy with a tall and graceful figure gently stroked Mu Zhian’s hair. She looked up with a smile.

Then, a soft and melodious voice echoed faintly through the silent hall.

“You are his wife, then what is this Seat?”
