    Chapter 475: Even if It’s the Primordial Witch, I’ll Cuckold Her For You! p1

    The stone fragments of the statue peeled off bit by bit, revealing a flawless and graceful body.

    Her beauty surpassed the snow, and her temperament was cool and aloof. However, when gazing at Mu Zhian, her beautiful eyes held a tender affection.

    Frankly speaking, regarding the identity of the Southern Wilderness’ ‘Creator God’, the Black Mist Mistress, Mu Zhian had already vaguely guessed it before coming to the Southern Wilderness.

    After all, the Southern Wilderness, World Sea, Abyss, and Martial World all bore traces of the Primordial Witch’s presence. He had also seen the Primordial Witch in a mysterious grotto-heaven, accessed through Lan Mulian’s Sacred Heavenly Body, while at Two Polarities Peak.

    Wherever she went, all living beings withered, as if she herself was the embodiment of ‘death’.

    Previously, in the forest outside the Lan Clan, Wei Mengrou also unintentionally caused the withering of living beings in the forest.

    It could be said that all the clues Mu Zhian knew about the ‘Immortal Ascension Realm’ immortal pointed to the Primordial Witch.

    All beings born from the ‘black mist’ in the Southern Wilderness were creations of the Primordial Witch, including the later Four Pillar Gods of the Southern Wilderness, who were also born from the black mist.

    However, until today, Mu Zhian still couldn’t understand how such a powerful existence could be divided into three spiritual senses.

    Logically, even the Heavenly Dao shouldn’t be able to do anything to an ‘Immortal’.

    Of course, now wasn’t the time to think about these things…

    Dual cultivating with a being created by his suspected ‘past wife’ in front of her… even someone as thick-skinned as Mu Zhian couldn’t help but want to cover his face.

    After all, the Primordial Witch could be considered the superior of the Four Pillar Gods of the Southern Wilderness. And the current situation was like a husband being intimate with the female CEO’s subordinate in the office, in front of the sleeping female CEO… and then being caught red-handed.

    Although Mu Zhian initially didn’t know that the Primordial Witch’s spiritual sense was slumbering within the ‘Black Mist Mistress’ statue…

    He was completely unprepared for this scene.

    In the Nine Provinces, it was quite common for a cultivator to have several Dao Companions, but Young Master Mu was a devoted person. He always firmly believed that he only loved one person in his life. Wife was wife, Dao Companion was Dao Companion, and little sister was little sister; there was no conflict.

    And Wei Mengrou had always known about the young master’s scumbag nature.

    However, the problem now was… Mu Zhian suppressed Xue Yi right in front of the ‘Primordial Witch’s’ statue…

    And this scene seemed to be witnessed by the Primordial Witch.

    However, Mu Zhian was also quite helpless.

    It wasn’t that he did this for thrills or anything… It was just that the situation was urgent earlier, and Regina was bound by the Soul Sealing Lock. He couldn’t move Regina to another location.

    After all, who would have thought that the Primordial Witch’s third spiritual sense would be slumbering within the statue?

    Not only Mu Zhian, but even Xue Yi didn’t expect it. Her beautiful eyes widened slightly, staring at the woman in the black gauze dress floating in mid-air with disbelief, her eyes filled with surprise and… infatuation.

    Xue Yi’s graceful body slowly moved forward. Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she murmured softly, “Mother… You’re still alive.”

    Mu Zhian was stunned and looked at Xue Yi in shock: “What did you call her?”

    “All beings in the Southern Wilderness were created by Mother, whether it was the Sky, Earth, Ocean, or even me… Everything I have now was given to me by her, so naturally I should call her Mother.”

    Mu Zhian watched this scene, then quickly seemed to recall something important, calmed himself slightly, looked up at the Primordial Witch, and asked urgently, “Are you Sister Mengrou…?”

    According to the Primordial Witch’s obsession within Wei Mengrou, all of the Primordial Witch’s memories resided within the third witch’s spiritual sense.

    “If you have to put it that way, then yes, I am indeed a spiritual sense she left behind in the Southern Wilderness.”

    A soft and pleasant voice echoed faintly through the center of the hall.

    Her voice was crisp and clear, her face carrying a gentle smile that could captivate all beings. Her already frail appearance seemed even more unhealthy and pale in the dim hall, making her appear pitiful.

    Mu Zhian stared intently at the Primordial Witch and saw her sigh worriedly, “I thought that after Mu Lang had me, he wouldn’t be intimate with others anymore… But unexpectedly, you would actually be intimate with a being I created, right in front of me.”

    “Why… I searched the entire Southern Wilderness Divine Hall and couldn’t find any trace of you. I even searched this statue with my spiritual sense, and there wasn’t any abnormality. Why are you in the statue… Why…?”

    At this time, Xue Yi murmured softly with disbelief and astonishment.

    “Are you surprised?”

    The Primordial Witch casually glanced at Xue Yi: “Among the Four Pillar Gods of the Southern Wilderness, Sky, Earth, and Ocean ruled the entire Southern Wilderness, while the Space God was slightly above the Three Pillar Gods, even the only one who had seen me. Have you ever thought about why I made that decision back then?”

    “Why I let you personally witness Regina’s birth,” she looked at Xue Yi and said softly.

    Xue Yi’s eyes flickered. This always calm woman actually showed a hint of panic before the Primordial Witch for the first time.

    Mu Zhian was stunned for a moment, “Wait… What did you just say? Regina wasn’t a vessel created by Xue Yi, but by you?”

    This huge amount of information almost overloaded Mu Zhian’s brain.

    He had always thought Regina was a vessel created by Xue Yi for reincarnation… But the Primordial Witch’s words completely overturned his previous assumptions.

    A blue lightning bolt seemed to flash through Mu Zhian’s mind, and he realized something.

    The Sky God’s remnant soul told him before that Xue Yi had an agreement with the Three Pillar Gods, promising to give them benefits after she transcended and ascended.

    And the Sky God also said that as long as Xue Yi devoured Regina, this vessel, the Primordial Witch would descend.

    …Thinking about it now, hadn’t the Sky God’s words all come true?

    After Xue Yi and Regina coexisted, the Primordial Witch did indeed descend.

    “Do you want to know the answer?”

    The Primordial Witch finally came to Mu Zhian’s front and said softly, “The answer is actually very simple.”

    She raised her fingertip, and almost at that instant, Mu Zhian vaguely heard the sound of chains shattering.

    It came from within Regina’s body!

    Mu Zhian subconsciously turned his head to look. He quickly discovered that Regina’s originally pale skin was gradually returning to a healthy white, and the frailty on her body was also fading bit by bit.

    If the previous Regina gave off a feeling of frailty, as if she would collapse with a gust of wind, then the current her had completely regained her original complexion!

    Xue Yi seemed to realize something, abruptly looking up at the Primordial Witch, “Heavenly Phoenix Immortal Gold Chains? You created Regina to restrict her body?”

    Regina’s frail appearance in the past wasn’t because of her Soul Reading Constitution, but because she was secretly bound by the Heavenly Phoenix Immortal Gold Chains within her body.

    “To be precise, it was to prevent Regina from awakening me too early.”

    The Primordial Witch quietly looked at Mu Zhian: “Waking up too early would mean being lonely for tens of thousands of years.”

    Mu Zhian silently gazed at her slightly frail, melon-seed-shaped face, her features picturesque, her silver eyes bright and captivating, a touch of crimson at the corners of her eyes. She wore a thin black gauze dress. Although she wasn’t exactly busty, her size was definitely not small. As she walked down from the high platform of the statue, her graceful curves were faintly visible.

    Her delicate face was free of makeup, her lips rosy and alluring.

    “You knew Xue Yi would find a way to devour Regina, because if she wanted to transcend and ascend, the Regina you created was the only possibility… Once Xue Yi devoured Regina, the Heavenly Phoenix Immortal Gold Chains restricting Regina would shatter.”

    “Because those chains targeted Regina, not Xue Yi, who had merged with Regina.”

    At this moment, Mu Zhian suddenly understood, connecting many things together.

    Regina was a ‘vessel’ created by the Primordial Witch, also an ‘alarm’ to awaken the Primordial Witch. She probably knew long ago that Xue Yi would definitely make a move on Regina to transcend and ascend.

    Mu Zhian stared at the black mist lingering behind the Primordial Witch, vaguely seeing several ancestral artifact chains forged from immortal gold… Each piece of this immortal gold could be used to forge an ancestral artifact, yet the Primordial Witch had more than seven immortal gold chains on her body!

    One end of the Heavenly Phoenix Immortal Gold Chains locked onto Regina, and the other end locked onto the Primordial Witch!

    “I once heard a rumor… As long as one devoured the ‘vessel’ left behind by the Primordial Witch, they could find a way to transcend and ascend. Was this also a trick you used to deceive people?”

    Chapter 474: Caught █ in Front of Wife’s Statue By Wife p2

    “Wouldn’t it have been better to do this earlier?”

    Mu Zhian stood up, stretched, and said, “I’ll go outside the hall. You two tidy up your clothes first… It would be troublesome if the Southern Wilderness elders see.”

    The Southern Wilderness cultivators already held deep animosity towards Eastern Continent cultivators, let alone the Southern Wilderness elders.

    If the higher-ups of the Southern Wilderness saw the Space God in such a pitiful state, even if Mu Zhian had a great power backing him, they would probably be so angry that they would devour him alive on the spot.

    “Wait.”

    Just then, Xue Yi looked at Mu Zhian, who was about to leave, suddenly bit her lip, and grabbed his clothes.

    At the same time, she stood up, casually kicking off her high heels.

    Grabbing Mu Zhian’s collar tightly, her beautiful eyes filled with a captivating light, she stood on tiptoes, her red lips close to his ear: “You’ve teased this Seat to such a state…”

    “You have to take responsibility~”

    Mu Zhian’s gaze subconsciously fell on Xue Yi’s delicate and beautiful face. Her slightly parted red lips seemed to exhale an intoxicating fragrance.

    To Xue Yi, this was a perfectly normal thing.

    Since she had already submitted to Mu Zhian, there was no need to resist him like before.

    After all, who wouldn’t want to experience the Heavenly Court’s Spiritual Energy?

    Beneath the statue of the ‘Black Mist Mistress’, Mu Zhian gazed at the beauty before him. Sometimes he felt she was Regina, but sometimes, he seemed to see Xue Yi.

    Her smooth platinum blonde hair rested lightly on her shoulders, her eyes alluring, her hands on Mu Zhian’s neck.

    As their gazes met, their lips slowly approached each other.

    Crack…

    Just then, a cracking sound suddenly came from the statue beside them, which had been silent for tens of thousands of years.

    At first, the sound wasn’t obvious, but as the cracking sounds continued, even Mu Zhian, captivated by the woman before him, noticed the abnormality.

    Mu Zhian turned his head in surprise, staring at the goddess statue, watching the cracks appearing on it, and thought, Could it be that, as Xue Yi said earlier, doing this kind of thing before the ‘Black Mist Mistress’ really would incur ‘divine punishment’?

    And just then, a woman’s faint voice echoed ethereally through the sacred hall.

    “Being so intimate with other women in front of me, should I say I was too gentle to you in the past, or is it that Mu Lang, knowing I’m here, just likes seeking thrills?”

    That gentle and pleasant voice carried a hint of frailty, yet incredibly seductive, as if a woman’s slender jade hand was gently caressing Mu Zhian’s face, carrying an irresistible charm.

    It even made Mu Zhian’s heart involuntarily fill with an indescribable ’emotion’, as if hearing her voice was already a supreme honor, making him want to submit to her.

    The ‘outer shell’ of the statue was peeling off. Xue Yi’s beautiful eyes flickered, also noticing the abnormality, staring intently at the woman’s statue in the hall.

    Then, under their astonished gazes, the ‘outer shell’ of the statue completely peeled off.

    What appeared before them was a woman in a black gauze dress. Her figure was graceful, her devastatingly beautiful face like a goddess not of this world. Black mist shrouded her body, as if the sound of the Great Dao echoed faintly from the distant void. Black chains with complex patterns intertwined behind her.

    The woman in the statue slowly opened her eyes.

    A gentle light rippled in her silver eyes.

    She tilted her head slightly, her gaze sweeping past Xue Yi, landing on Mu Zhian. She pursed her slightly pale lips, tilted her head again, and smiled.

    “Long time no see, Mu Lang.”

    A strand of silver hair fell from beside her ear, her slightly frail, devastatingly beautiful face, her silver eyes filled with a gentleness that could melt everything.

    Mu Zhian was momentarily lost in thought, staring blankly at the woman, looking at that incredibly familiar face through the black mist.

    After an unknown amount of time, he murmured hoarsely, “Sister Mengrou…?”

    As he spoke, Mu Zhian didn’t realize that the ‘Friend of the Villain’ achievement in his personal interface was currently flashing frantically with a warning.

    Southern Wilderness Divine Hall, before a pavilion.

    Wei Mengrou, in a goose-yellow dress, sat before the pavilion, reading the book in her hand.

    This was the book Mu Zhian lent her not long ago, called Domineering Sect Master Falls in Love with Me. It sounded like the kind of boring, vulgar book that didn’t require any brainpower to read.

    Wei Mengrou naturally disdained this kind of book. When she returned to her room yesterday, she didn’t even bother to look at it, feeling it was an insult to her intelligence.

    Because the content inside was truly too foolish… The story’s background was in a Xianxia world, about the strongest Sect Master in the world meeting a little cultivator by chance and doting on him.

    Even flipping to the first page now, she still felt it was too foolish.

    But she still patiently read a little.

    The first part roughly described an ordinary little cultivator being bullied. Then, the Sect Master, one of the strongest in the world, made a grand entrance, declaring, ‘He is this Seat’s man’, shocking all the cultivators.

    Then, the Sect Master brought the little cultivator back to the sect to raise him.

    In outsiders’ eyes, they were master and disciple. In the little cultivator’s eyes, the Sect Master was the ‘elder’ who raised him, but in the Sect Master’s eyes, she had always seen him as her lover.

    Then, starting from the second part, the little cultivator began training and studying in the sect. Because of his brilliance, one day he was bullied by jealous sect disciples. At this time, the Sect Master appeared, displaying her domineering and ruthless side, slapping the sect elders in the face, and saying: The only one who can bully him is me.

    Wei Mengrou felt this kind of novel was truly too foolish, different from any ancient text she had read before, because it didn’t require any brainpower to read.

    Even Wei Mengrou, who was usually cold and aloof, became deeply interested, wanting to see the various scenes of the Sect Master showing off her power, and the emotional entanglement between the Sect Master and the little cultivator.

    The Sect Master raised the little cultivator in her sect. On the surface, she was lofty and domineering, stepping on him, but in reality, she treated him with tender affection, fully displaying the gentle side of a domineering Sect Master.

    Time passed silently, and Wei Mengrou had unknowingly read quite a bit of the novel.

    Then, she came back to her senses, blankly thinking: What was I just doing?

    The young master was trying to find a way to rescue Regina, yet she was here wasting time reading this kind of novel?!

    Thinking of this, Wei Mengrou felt annoyed.

    Just then, she sensed a streak of green light quietly descending beside her and quickly threw the novel into her storage ring.

    It wasn’t that she was afraid of being seen by Yao Meng, but to avoid further trouble, being mocked by Yao Meng, that’s all…

    “Miss Wei is quite leisurely, actually having the mood to admire the scenery here.”

    The next moment, a clear and pleasant immortal voice echoed through the pavilion, accompanied by a slender green figure.

    In the blink of an eye, Wei Mengrou’s eyes turned icy silver. She glanced sideways at Yao Meng and said faintly, “What does the Jade Empress mean by that?”

    Yao Meng silently walked to Wei Mengrou’s side, sized her up, and suddenly chuckled softly, “Miss Wei is really wary of me. Although the Primordial Witch’s spiritual sense has recovered somewhat, there’s no need to use her power the moment she sees me, right?”

    Wei Mengrou tilted her head slightly and looked at her coldly: “The Jade Empress even actively pursued someone who already has a Dao Companion, and even married him… Isn’t it natural to be wary of you?”

    The underlying meaning of her words was probably: You crave the body of a married man, you’re despicable!

    “They didn’t get married. As for him and Bai Ruoxi being Dao Companions, it doesn’t really matter… In the Nine Provinces, many Dao Companions break up every day. The term ‘Dao Companion’ doesn’t mean much, and Miss Bai has already tacitly approved of the relationship between him and me.”

    Yao Meng wasn’t annoyed at all, her tone soft and gentle, as if stating something ordinary.

    Wei Mengrou raised her delicate brows slightly, about to speak.

    However, just then, she vaguely felt an invisible, slender jade hand approaching her body, caressing her heart.

    A woman’s gentle laughter also echoed in her ear.

    Wei Mengrou’s eyes flickered. She subconsciously looked up towards the sanctuary deep within the divine hall.

    Yao Meng narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, her eyelids lowered, a darkness appearing in her green eyes.

    She casually glanced at the sanctuary deep within the divine hall, then said faintly, “Miss Wei, what’s wrong?”

    Wei Mengrou gazed in a certain direction and said softly, “Something in that place is calling out to me.”

    Chapter 474: Caught █ in Front of Wife’s Statue By Wife p1

    “Regina, you actually conspired with an outsider to frame this Seat!”

    Within the hall, Xue Yi’s humiliated voice came from within Regina’s body. She opened her beautiful eyes, an inviolable majesty flowing within.

    However, just as she was about to speak again, Xue Yi suddenly felt a vast surge of Spiritual Energy, like a tide, pouring into Regina’s cauldron.

    Within that surging Heavenly Court Spiritual Energy, a wisp of grayish Spiritual Energy quietly entered Regina’s body. Xue Yi’s platinum blonde hair cascaded down, her toes curling, her lips tightly pressed together, seemingly unwilling to yield.

    However, the other spiritual sense within the body seized this opportunity to take control, actively kissing Mu Zhian on the lips.

    Xue Yi’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, the thin straps of her dress slipping from her round, white, and fragrant shoulders onto her arms. She slightly raised her head, revealing the graceful curve of her neck.

    After a while, she seemed to regain some clarity, her rosy, sexy lips pursing slightly, and she said coldly, “Mu Zhian, aren’t you afraid of the Jade Empress discovering your betrayal?!”

    At this moment, the Space God shed all pretense, no longer the compassionate and saintly figure from before, but gnashing her teeth, wanting to devour the man before her alive.

    For a moment, Mu Zhian almost thought Xue Yi had taken control of the body. However, looking at her other eye, he knew his guess was wrong.

    Regina still held the dominant position.

    He carefully observed ‘Regina’s’ expression, seeing the exotic beauty’s face flush red, her eyes rippling with emotion. Although her tone was fierce, it carried more of a ‘thirst’.

    She’s not resisting dual cultivation with me, but she can’t get past it in her heart…

    Ultimately, she sees me as an ant in her eyes, so she can’t stand being suppressed by me…?

    Mu Zhian had a guess. To verify his guess, he slightly stopped the flow of Spiritual Energy.

    Xue Yi, currently bathed in the surging Spiritual Energy from the Innate Celestial Furnace, stared intently at Mu Zhian.

    “I’m just following Senior Xue Yi’s words,” Mu Zhian said obediently.

    However, his eyes held an inexplicably alluring pink light, as if nine fox tail phantoms were faintly swaying behind him.

    Xue Yi sneered: “Since you’re obedient, then get out of this hall, Young Master Mu.”

    “Finally revealing your true nature?” Mu Zhian wasn’t annoyed at all, but couldn’t help smiling.

    Unlike the Xue Yi from before, who seemed to embrace all things without any worldly desires, the current her seemed more human.

    This state of her, easily angered when teased, was actually quite interesting.

    “How is the Heavenly Court’s Spiritual Energy?” Mu Zhian asked.

    Xue Yi furrowed her brows slightly, “What Heavenly Court’s Spiritual Energy?”

    “Now that you and I are being intimate, you should know what I’m talking about, Senior Xue Yi?” Mu Zhian said with a casual smile.

    Intimate… Xue Yi’s devastatingly beautiful and charming face flushed slightly as she glanced at him.

    “So what if you have Heavenly Court Spiritual Energy? This Seat’s future Transcendence is only a matter of time. Even if you destroy Regina’s body, my spiritual sense won’t be completely annihilated.”

    This was the truth. Although her soul was bound to Regina’s, she had already made preparations. Even if this wisp of spiritual sense was destroyed, she wouldn’t easily die. Before deciding to devour Regina today, she had already made arrangements in advance.

    “Actually, I’m also reluctant to let Senior Xue Yi’s spiritual sense be annihilated just like that.”

    Mu Zhian smiled, “So let’s make a deal.”

    The beautiful and refined exotic beauty raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, quietly looking at him, while suppressing the urge for pleasure rising within her heart.

    “You want to devour Regina simply because you think she’s a clone you created, so she doesn’t deserve to share a body with you.”

    The hall was somewhat dim, but the Space God within still looked radiant and captivating. Mu Zhian admired her blushing charm and continued, “But Regina’s current Soul Reading Constitution is even stronger than yours in the past.”

    “That’s also because you gave her that gray Spiritual Energy… It’s that special Spiritual Energy taken from the Reincarnation Pool in the Eastern Continent’s Forbidden Zone, isn’t it?” Xue Yi saw through the Spiritual Energy Mu Zhian had just transferred at a glance.

    “It’s true that I helped Miss Regina’s constitution evolve,” Mu Zhian didn’t deny it. “If I’m willing, I can even give her a second portion of Reincarnation Spiritual Energy, and even give her Heavenly Court Spiritual Energy every day.”

    Xue Yi’s eyes flickered: “What exactly are you trying to say?”

    Mu Zhian lowered his head slightly, whispering in her crystal-clear earlobe, “Swear to coexist with Miss Regina forever, and I’ll give you everything you want.”

    “You’re dreaming—”

    Before Xue Yi could finish speaking, her voice suddenly hitched, her beautiful legs beneath her skirt subconsciously clamping together, her toes curling slightly, glaring at Mu Zhian with humiliation.

    However, as the Heavenly Court Spiritual Energy, filled with charming aura, surged in, a hazy look gradually appeared in Xue Yi’s originally cold eyes.

    “Actually, you have no choice in this matter. Suppose you really devour Regina in the end, do you really think you can leave the Southern Wilderness Divine Hall?”

    Mu Zhian gently picked up a strand of Xue Yi’s platinum blonde hair, then slid his hand down her back, resting it on the small of her back.

    Xue Yi abruptly snapped out of her daze and sneered, “Mu Zhian, do you really think you can rest easy with the Jade Empress protecting you? If she knew you were using such despicable methods here, I’m afraid she would throw you into the Heavenly Pill Phoenix Tree for a thousand years of self-reflection before I even need to lift a finger.”

    “That’s if she finds out…” Mu Zhian muttered.

    Yao Meng knew he borrowed the Heart-Binding Lock to disturb Xue Yi’s mind, but she didn’t know that Mu Zhian would go this far… even offering himself.

    “The Heavenly Court’s Spiritual Energy will nourish your spiritual sense. If you swear to coexist with Regina, I can promise to help you return to your peak state later,” Mu Zhian gently embraced Xue Yi’s slender waist and said, “And are you really resisting now, not feeling any pleasure at all? I think you seem quite excited.”

    Xue Yi immediately sneered: “Say that again? Do you really think this Seat doesn’t dare to kill you… Mmm~”

    She couldn’t help but let out a sweet, incredibly embarrassing moan, then became completely furious, her beautiful eyes filled with coldness.

    “Mu Zhian, after this Seat suppresses Regina, I’ll…”

    Her voice grew softer and softer, until finally, she bit her lip tightly, desperately suppressing herself, unwilling to make even the slightest sound of submission to Mu Zhian.

    The Heavenly Court’s Spiritual Energy continuously poured into Xue Yi’s cauldron. The vast Spiritual Energy, along with the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox’s charming aura, kept surging. At this moment, within the cauldron, Xue Yi and Regina’s two spiritual senses were like bathing in Heavenly Court Spiritual Energy.

    Even Xue Yi, who hated Mu Zhian at this moment, couldn’t help but be intoxicated by that dense Spiritual Energy, subconsciously licking her lips.

    Just then, the flow of Heavenly Court Spiritual Energy suddenly stopped entering the cauldron. The young man’s gentle voice pulled Xue Yi back to reality from her daze.

    “Have you thought about it, Senior Xue Yi?”

    Mu Zhian sat down before her, looking at her with a smile.

    Xue Yi slowly opened her beautiful eyes. She propped herself up with difficulty, her cheeks burning, her legs bent. When she looked up, her originally clear and charming eyes were now somewhat moist.

    “Since this Seat achieved Dao Integration, you’re the first man who dared to be so disrespectful to this Seat… and you’re just a little cultivator who just recently entered Nascent Soul Realm.”

    She said faintly.

    Mu Zhian reached out towards her slender waist. Xue Yi’s expression immediately changed, and she subconsciously wanted to lean back, but Regina’s spiritual sense was acting up, stopping her.

    However, she was wrong. Mu Zhian didn’t do anything else to her, but took out a medicinal pill and handed it to her.

    “Your spiritual power has been depleted quite a bit. This is a seventh-grade pill, Soul Replenishing Pill, it should be somewhat helpful to you,” Mu Zhian said.

    Xue Yi was somewhat surprised, “Where did you get this?”

    As she spoke, her breathing quickened, and the blush on her cheeks deepened.

    Mu Zhian’s Heavenly Court Spiritual Energy could nourish her spiritual sense, but his Heavenly Court Spiritual Energy also contained a large amount of ‘charming’ aura, all brought by the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, pouring into Regina’s body without reservation.

    If her spiritual sense could control this body, she could naturally resist it easily, but the body currently belonged to Regina… And from the moment Regina felt this charming aura, she had found it difficult to control.

    If it weren’t for her desperately suppressing it, her will would probably collapse in an instant, involuntarily wanting to pounce on Mu Zhian and seek his affection.

    Her spiritual power was already depleted, and she had to rely on her own will to resist Mu Zhian’s ‘charm’, while also guarding against Regina’s counterattack. For Xue Yi, she was currently attacked from both front and back.

    But if she let Mu Zhian continue ‘messing around’ like this, as the charming aura continued to increase, even she might be lost in it in the end.

    Simply put, Mu Zhian’s ‘charm’ could stack. The longer it went on, the more charming aura he could accumulate in Regina’s body.

    “I obtained this pill from the Forbidden Zone Lord’s daughter before,” Mu Zhian said with a smile, then fed the pill into Xue Yi’s mouth.

    Xue Yi’s delicate body trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes even more moist.

    “Don’t… don’t touch me now…”

    Mu Zhian was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood.

    The Space God was indeed incredibly powerful, but—

    She was first soul-bound to Regina, and now bound to him by the Heart-Binding Lock. Her body currently belonged to Regina…

    No female cultivator of the same realm as Mu Zhian could resist the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox’s charm.

    Not to mention the same realm, even female cultivators of higher realms, if Mu Zhian deliberately wanted to charm them, he might succeed.

    Xue Yi’s body was currently filled with charming aura, making her extremely sensitive to even the slightest touch. Naturally, she didn’t dare let Mu Zhian touch her again.

    “If you cooperate, I won’t make things difficult for you. But if you’re unwilling to cooperate… then I can only be disrespectful,” Mu Zhian threatened.

    “You—”

    Xue Yi’s devastatingly beautiful face twisted slightly, her eyes filled with shame and anger.

    “I have an agreement with Miss Regina, so I have to help her no matter what. If you’re willing to swear to share a body with her, I won’t touch you again, how about it?” Mu Zhian said.

    Xue Yi bit her lip, staring at Mu Zhian resentfully.

    Mu Zhian looked at her patiently, a smile on his face.

    After an unknown amount of time in silence, Xue Yi slowly spoke:

    “I swear… From now on, I will share this body with Regina. As long as she doesn’t break her promise first, I will no longer try to devour her spiritual sense. This oath is witnessed by heaven and earth.”

    Rumble…

    A faint thunderclap seemed to sound.

    Chapter 473: Bathe in the Heavenly Court’s Spiritual Energy with Me~ p2

    Mu Zhian sat in the chair, toying with the Heart-Binding Lock in his hand, then looked up and saw the beauty in the green dress standing before him, “Did Ruoxi say anything?”

    Yao Meng nodded slightly, and said with a faint smile, “She’s suspicious of why you borrowed the Heart-Binding Lock.”

    Her figure silently appeared beside Mu Zhian, sizing up the young man, her beautiful green eyes filled with breathtaking charm: “You suddenly wanted to borrow the Heart-Binding Lock for no reason, no wonder she’s concerned… What exactly do you want to use it for?”

    Mu Zhian was silent for a moment, then said, “If I tell you, you have to promise to forget about it afterward.”

    Yao Meng narrowed her beautiful eyes: “Tell me.”

    “This matter goes back to the Ascension Tournament.”

    Mu Zhian sighed softly: “During the Ascension Tournament, Regina participated in the competition as the Southern Wilderness Holy Maiden. I happened to meet her by chance and discovered a bronze pendant on her… And that pendant was the key to awakening the Palace Master.”

    “To obtain that pendant, I made a deal with Regina…”

    “You exchanged it with your Innate Celestial Furnace?”

    Mu Zhian noticed Yao Meng’s pupils had suddenly darkened, and the pressure on him instantly increased.

    Sister Jade Empress is so double-standard. It’s okay for me to cuckold others, but not okay for others to cuckold me!

    Although Yao Meng had a good mentality and didn’t object to Mu Zhian being intimate with other women, the premise was that these matters were under her control.

    However, the deal between Mu Zhian and Regina was beyond Yao Meng’s expectations.

    It sounded like she was asking: Did you sell your body?

    Mu Zhian said helplessly, “At that time, to obtain that pendant, I had no other choice. Moreover, when Regina went to the Jade Pool Holy Land with me later, she also helped me a lot.”

    “Jade Empress Sister wouldn’t want me to be ungrateful and abandon Regina at this time, right?”

    Yao Meng was momentarily silent.

    His words were indeed correct. Mu Zhian had an agreement with Regina. Although the Sword Palace ‘fragment’ given to Mu Zhian was part of a deal, it indirectly helped Gong Lianyue.

    And Regina later went to the Jade Pool Holy Land with Mu Zhian, naturally he couldn’t ignore her now.

    Yao Meng glanced at the young man and said faintly, “So what do you plan to use the Heart-Binding Lock for?”

    Good, it seems she agreed… Mu Zhian inwardly sighed with relief, looked up, and said with a smile, “Naturally, to let it perform its intended function.”

    “Don’t beat around the bush.”

    Displeasure rippled in Yao Meng’s beautiful, autumn-water eyes, “Be more specific.”

    “The person bound by the Heart-Binding Lock will share senses with another person… Suppose the person bound on this end is you, and on this end is me.”

    Mu Zhian demonstrated personally, binding himself and Yao Meng with the Heart-Binding Lock, then wrapped his arm around Yao Meng’s slender waist.

    “Explaining is too troublesome, you’ll understand after trying it once.”

    Mu Zhian lowered his head and kissed the fairy’s soft lips.

    Night unknowingly fell.

    The door to the hall opened silently, and Xue Yi, in a holy white dress, gracefully walked into the depths of the hall.

    “I really didn’t expect that after all my efforts, you still wouldn’t agree, yet you agreed after your little lover said a few words to you.”

    Xue Yi half-squatted, looking at the blonde beauty sitting cross-legged beneath the statue. Her devastatingly beautiful face was filled with a gentle smile: “But looking at your eyes, it doesn’t seem like you’ll obediently let me devour you.”

    Honestly, seeing Regina’s unwillingness to submit, she actually felt relieved.

    If Regina really let her devour her without resistance, she would have suspected it was a trap.

    “You delayed for so long without making a move on me, just to wait for your spiritual power to recover a bit more, right? But it seems Mu Zhian’s appearance made you anxious?” Regina chuckled softly.

    Xue Yi didn’t deny it, just smiled faintly: “My current spiritual power is indeed inferior to yours, but your strength is also inferior to mine, isn’t it?”

    She gently cupped Regina’s face and said softly, “It’s time for you to become one with me, Regina.”

    Xue Yi transformed into a streak of white light, silently merging into Regina’s body.

    Silence fell upon the hall.

    About fifteen minutes later, a vast and hazy will descended upon Regina’s body.

    She raised her head, an alluring clear light seemingly overflowing from her right eye. A healthy blush appeared on her previously frail face, her pale lips turning into alluringly vibrant red lips, and her golden hair gradually turning platinum blonde, cascading down like seaweed.

    “I know you might have some agreement with him, but you have too much trust in men. Even if he comes now, do you think he’ll notice you first, or care about me first?”

    Xue Yi’s voice was gentle and calm, deliberately provoking Regina.

    “You underestimate him too much.”

    The next moment, Regina’s voice sounded, carrying a hint of frailty.

    “Perhaps.”

    A cold glint rippled in Xue Yi’s beautiful eyes: “But now, my soul is bound to yours. Even if the Jade Empress were here, she wouldn’t be able to separate us. So what if he comes?”

    Xue Yi said gently, “If you give up control of your body now, this Seat will keep my promise and leave a wisp of your spiritual sense after my strength recovers.”

    “You’re dreaming,” Regina sneered.

    “Since that’s the case—”

    Before Xue Yi could finish speaking, she faintly heard footsteps approaching from the distance.

    The hall was completely sealed at this time; no one could enter.

    But there was one exception.

    Xue Yi seemed to have realized the newcomer’s identity. Her rosy lips pursed slightly, a faint smile appearing.

    Mu Zhian did indeed have some agreement with Regina.

    “Young Master Mu, you’ve come after all.”

    Xue Yi’s crisp, silver-bell-like laughter echoed through the hall: “But it’s too late. I’ve become one with her. Even if the Jade Empress were here, she wouldn’t be able to separate us.”

    She looked up and saw the young man walking towards her. Although she was looking up, her eyes held a condescending arrogance.

    At this point, there was no need for her to act anymore.

    Mu Zhian had given her one day to prepare, and in this short day, she had adjusted herself to her best state, even preparing this ritual to take over Regina’s body and merge with her.

    Mu Zhian looked at the woman sitting cross-legged on the soft carpet with a smile and said, “Miss Regina, if you’re still alive, extend your right hand.”

    Xue Yi’s eyes flickered slightly, vaguely sensing danger, and she subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand.

    However, at this moment, Regina’s spiritual sense surged forward. She controlled the body and, with difficulty, extended her right hand.

    A ‘click’ sounded, and one end of the Heart-Binding Lock landed on Regina’s wrist.

    The other end of the Heart-Binding Lock was cuffed to Mu Zhian’s own wrist. Then, the Heart-Binding Lock silently vanished, invisibly binding the two together.

    Mu Zhian closed his eyes slightly, feeling the wonderful ‘connection’ brought by the Heart-Binding Lock, then looked at Regina, and asked with a smile:

    “Miss Regina, do you still remember our deal?”

    The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox’s charming aura silently spread out, a pink light rippling in Mu Zhian’s dark eyes.

    After a brief moment of stunned silence, Regina smiled: “Of course I remember. Young Master Mu still owes me a portion of Reincarnation Spiritual Energy and a first-grade technique from the Innate Dao Body.”

    Xue Yi still couldn’t seem to understand Mu Zhian’s actions, but she vaguely felt something wasn’t right… Because she felt that strange chain seemed to have connected her to Mu Zhian!

    “Mu Zhian, what are you planning to do?!”

    ‘Regina’ abruptly raised her beautiful face, the usual calm smile gone, replaced by unease towards the unknown.

    Her spiritual sense had just entered Regina’s body not long ago. This battle of devouring spiritual senses was originally something outsiders couldn’t interfere with.

    But the strange chain weapon Mu Zhian just used seemed somewhat odd!

    For the first time, Xue Yi felt a great sense of crisis.

    She occupied half of Regina’s body, so she could feel that Regina was actually aroused at this moment!

    What exactly was the ‘deal’ they spoke of? What were they planning to do now?!

    Xue Yi had no idea.

    Mu Zhian half-squatted, gently caressed Regina’s face, and looked at the exotic beauty whose body was currently occupied by two spiritual senses:

    “Here is fine, right?” he asked softly.

    Regina revealed a bright smile: “Of course… Young Master Mu, please.”

    “You can do whatever you want.”

    Xue Yi finally realized something and said hurriedly:

    “Regina, this is the sanctuary! The Black Mist Mistress’s will resides within this statue. If you do that kind of thing here, you’ll be punished by the Black Mist Mistress… Mmm—”

    Before she could finish speaking, Xue Yi’s voice turned into a moan. Because Regina had already leaned forward, actively kissing Mu Zhian on the lips.

    Because their souls were bound, everything Regina experienced was also completely shared with Xue Yi.

    No matter how strong the combat power of this strongest Space God of the Southern Wilderness was, she had never experienced romantic love.

    At this moment, Xue Yi was truly panicking.

    She tried to activate her Spiritual Energy several times, but she and Regina were now one. Plus, Regina was already bound by the Soul Sealing Lock, so she couldn’t release even a wisp of Spiritual Energy, instead, only feeling waves of weakness washing over her.

    The Heavenly Court Spiritual Energy, mixed with charming aura, was incredibly vast, surging into Regina’s cauldron, quickly making Xue Yi’s beautiful eyes hazy.

    “Mu Zhian, I am the Space God, if you dare… Mmm~”

    Before her threat could be fully voiced, her voice suddenly hitched, involuntarily letting out a sweet moan, her already weak spirit even more dazed.

    Regina slowly opened her beautiful eyes, gazing at Mu Zhian tenderly, her hands wrapping around his neck, and said softly, “Come, lofty Lord Xue Yi—”

    “Enjoy this wonderful Spiritual Energy with me~”

    “Then let’s see whose spiritual power, between you and me, can last until the end.”

  • It turns out, they are the protagonists 473p1

    Chapter 473: Bathe in the Heavenly Court’s Spiritual Energy with Me~ p1

    Deep within the Sword Palace, Yao Meng transformed into a streak of green light and silently arrived in the hall.

    On both sides of the hall stood several plainly dressed cultivators, exuding a terrifying aura. These were the former elders of the Sword Palace, sealed within formations by Gong Lianyue, and only released today.

    To maintain their physical bodies and spiritual senses, the Sword Palace had consumed a considerable amount of spirit stones during its millennia of silence.

    Elder Yu Rui, the head of the Sword Palace elders, and the others stood up to greet her, cupping their hands and saying, “Greetings, Senior Jade Empress.”

    Yao Meng hummed in acknowledgement, nodded to the Sword Palace elders, casually glanced at the several cloaked figures in the hall, and said, “I have important matters to discuss with the Palace Master.”

    Gong Lianyue lazily leaned against her throne, looking down at her, and said faintly, “You have matters to discuss with me, but I have nothing to say to you. Jade Empress, please return.”

    A dazzling golden light faintly flickered behind her. Her full and perky bosom appeared especially prominent against her black and white interwoven palace dress, her voluptuous and snow-white legs crossed, her attitude incredibly arrogant.

    Seeing this, the elders who were about to leave the hall exchanged glances, momentarily unsure of the situation.

    Many of them had just been released from the formations by Gong Lianyue and didn’t know that the Palace Master didn’t have a good relationship with the first Holy Maiden of the Jade Pool Holy Land.

    Both were at the Transcendence Realm. If they fought amongst themselves, it wouldn’t be a good thing…

    Yao Meng lifted her eyelids, her gaze still playful, lightly tapping her red lips with a fingertip, and said with a smile, “So, Palace Master has nothing to say to me?”

    Gong Lianyue glanced at her indifferently, not bothering to respond.

    “Since that’s the case, I’ll just tell him directly.”

    Yao Meng turned to leave.

    Gong Lianyue’s eyes flickered, “Wait!”

    Yao Meng didn’t stop, gracefully stepping into the void, about to walk out of the hall.

    Whoosh!

    The next moment, hundreds of flowers bloomed beneath Yao Meng’s feet. Those flowers transformed into a formation, blocking her path.

    The wind blew against her green dress, her hair fluttering. A faint smile couldn’t help but appear at the corner of Yao Meng’s mouth.

    The old geezers of the Sword Palace watched this scene, their eyelids twitching, having already realized the problem.

    The reason the Palace Master had such a bad relationship with the Jade Empress seemed to be because of the close relationship between Bai Ruoxi, the ‘sword’ prepared by the Palace Master in the past, and a certain man.

    Although they had just been released from the seals, such a big event as the Jade Empress’s marriage, even someone living under a rock would know about it.

    And now it seemed the Palace Master also cared about the man the Jade Empress married.

    The elders exchanged glances and quietly left the hall.

    They knew very well that rashly getting involved in this kind of matter wouldn’t end well…

    Gong Lianyue stood up, walked down the steps before her throne, and stepped onto the soft carpet.

    Sensing Yao Meng’s half-smiling gaze, Gong Lianyue’s expression remained calm, “Ruoxi just asked me to ask you, what important matter does he have with me.”

    “Palace Master, I didn’t say anything just now…” Bai Ruoxi’s weak voice came from the World of the Heart.

    Gong Lianyue pretended not to hear and said again, “And didn’t he go to the Southern Wilderness for business?”

    “It seems he’s not very busy… He even had the leisure to be intimate with you last night.”

    Gong Lianyue’s tone quickly turned cold. She sensed a dense Heavenly Court aura from Yao Meng, clearly indicating that Mu Zhian and the Jade Empress were…

    Yao Meng looked at the expressionless, stunning woman with a smile and said softly, “That child called me Jade Empress Sister last night, acting spoiled, wanting me to be intimate with him… I couldn’t refuse.”

    Although she had long known that Mu Zhian had some strange hobbies, she still didn’t expect that he would even like that kind of thing.

    …She didn’t dislike it either.

    That feeling of stepping on the Lord of the Heavenly Court, she actually didn’t dislike it~

    Gong Lianyue sneered: “Didn’t he say he was going to the Southern Wilderness to handle important matters? Aren’t you afraid of delaying his business?”

    “He is indeed handling important matters.”

    Under Gong Lianyue’s hostile gaze, a pleased smile appeared at the corner of Yao Meng’s mouth.

    The next moment, her clear and pleasant voice echoed softly through the hall.

    “But he himself said yesterday that handling matters in the Southern Wilderness shouldn’t be rushed, and to make sufficient preparations before taking it slow~”

    Gong Lianyue immediately understood that Mu Zhian was probably bewitched by this seemingly holy fairy again yesterday.

    Her beautiful eyes flashed with coldness, and she laughed in anger: “You sharp-tongued little bitch, you came to this Palace Master today just to show off your seductive techniques?”

    Yao Meng casually glanced at the cold-eyed Gong Lianyue and said with a faint smile, “Why is Palace Master so hostile? Have you already forgotten the time you served my husband together with me last time?”

    Gong Lianyue’s expression turned somewhat uncomfortable. She snorted coldly, “That was something Ruoxi agreed to. This Palace Master strongly opposed it, but couldn’t persuade her in the end. Do you really think everyone is like the Jade Empress, doing such indecent things?”

    “If this matter were to be known by the world, the Jade Pool Holy Land would probably become a topic of discussion.”

    Yao Meng smiled brightly, “Last time at Two Polarities Peak, another spiritual sense occupied half of Miss Bai’s body. During that time, does Palace Master dare say you didn’t feel the nourishment of the Heavenly Court’s Spiritual Energy?”

    “Does Palace Master dare swear to the Great Dao?”

    Gong Lianyue sneered: “Why should this Palace Master listen to you and swear to the Great Dao?”

    She paused, changing the subject, “If the Jade Empress has something to say, say it quickly. If not, this Palace Master won’t see you out.”

    Yao Meng looked at the somewhat tsundere Sword Palace Master playfully and chuckled softly, “It’s not really a big deal, it’s just that he wants to borrow the Heart-Binding Lock, so he asked me to come find you.”

    Gong Lianyue’s heart filled with doubt, “What does he need the Heart-Binding Lock for?”

    The Heart-Binding Lock was the ‘Dao’ Bai Ruoxi walked during Core Formation Realm. After reaching Nascent Soul Realm, the Heart-Binding Lock evolved again. Those bound by the Heart-Binding Lock could share senses with each other…

    It sounded somewhat interesting, but if this Heart-Binding Lock was used on an enemy of the same realm during battle, attacking the opponent would be equivalent to attacking oneself, making it quite a troublesome weapon.

    “Xue Yi has returned to the Southern Wilderness and used soul binding on Regina,” Yao Meng concisely explained the reason.

    “Soul binding?”

    Gong Lianyue’s eyes flickered, and she said softly, “After soul binding, no one except the caster can interfere, especially if the caster was once a Dao Integration Realm expert… It would be even more troublesome if Xue Yi’s spiritual sense enters Regina’s body.”

    “But what use does he have for the Heart-Binding Lock?”

    “Xue Yi’s spiritual sense is currently very weak, her spiritual power far inferior to Regina’s. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have waited until now to devour Regina’s body.”

    Yao Meng slowly toyed with a strand of hair and said, “After Xue Yi’s spiritual sense enters Regina’s body, the two will become one.”

    Gong Lianyue nodded slightly, “So the Heart-Binding Lock can’t lock onto both of them—”

    Before she could finish speaking, Yao Meng suddenly chuckled softly, “Who told you he wants to use the Heart-Binding Lock to lock onto both Xue Yi and Regina at the same time?”

    “One end of the Heart-Binding Lock will lock onto Regina, but the other end won’t lock onto Xue Yi.”

    “Then who?” Gong Lianyue asked subconsciously.

    Yao Meng quietly looked at her, an unusual glint in her green eyes, but didn’t speak.

    The next day, early morning.

    Southern Wilderness Divine Hall.

    This divine hall in mid-air emitted a mysterious brilliance year-round. It was also a sacred place in the hearts of Southern Wilderness cultivators, only accessible to high-ranking cultivators in the Southern Wilderness.

    Occasionally, one could see Southern Wilderness cultivators or other beings turning into streaks of light passing through the sky. However, when passing by the divine hall, they would instinctively lower their altitude, afraid of disturbing the beings within.

    Especially with the recent rumors in the Southern Wilderness about the Space God Xue Yi returning and now controlling this divine hall… it made people even more awestruck.

    “Mu Zhian is cunning by nature. He often uses that face to deceive women, not even satisfied with having such a beautiful woman like the Jade Empress.”

    “Although Master is experienced, you must be careful of his tricks. I don’t think he’s someone who would easily compromise with you.”

    At this moment, a young man with an ordinary appearance, looking slightly immature, walked before the high platform of the main hall, reminding the woman before him in a low voice.

    This person was naturally Huang Weifeng. Worried about being discovered by Mu Zhian, he deliberately used special disguise techniques to create a new appearance.

    Huang Weifeng naturally believed in Xue Yi’s strength, but he couldn’t help but worry. After all, this minor villain Mu Zhian was still alive and kicking, even becoming Dao Companions with the Jade Empress and others, eating soft rice… Setting aside his strength for now, he must be very good at understanding women’s hearts.

    If not, Lan Feiying, who was also a Heaven-Chosen One, wouldn’t be so devoted to Mu Zhian… That woman’s Luck was even stronger than his, yet she was still deceived by Mu Zhian’s sweet words.

    His only reliance now was this beautiful Master. Only after she devoured Regina and returned to her peak strength would she have a chance to help him plan his future schemes.

    After these days of traveling to the Southern Wilderness, Huang Weifeng had also calmed down somewhat. Plus, with Xue Yi’s reminder yesterday, he had figured out many things.

    Mu Zhian’s current strength was already among the top of his peers, and most importantly, he had powerful backing. He was indeed not someone the current him could deal with.

    So now he could only place his hopes on this beautiful Master.

    However, although the pressure Mu Zhian brought was immense, Huang Weifeng wasn’t very worried.

    His past enemies, after opposing him, would always come looking for him to be ‘slapped in the face’, then be counter-killed by him in the end.

    Even though he had been in danger several times, Huang Weifeng always relied on his ‘great luck’ to escape danger and even obtain great fortune.

    This time would naturally be no exception.

    Therefore, he believed that finding Xue Yi’s storage ring and bringing her back to the Southern Wilderness was also an opportunity given to him by his luck.

    Xue Yi walked on the path towards the high platform with sexy and elegant steps.

    Hearing Huang Weifeng’s words, she didn’t say anything.

    However, a hint of indifference appeared in her gentle eyes that seemed to embrace all things.

    She naturally knew what Huang Weifeng was reminding her of. Or rather, his reminder was completely unnecessary to her.

    She didn’t think Mu Zhian would choose Regina, but that didn’t mean she would completely believe Mu Zhian’s words.

    Regina currently agreed to be devoured by her?

    But what if she changed her mind midway?

    What if it was a trap set by Mu Zhian and Regina together to kill her?

    Xue Yi had considered these possibilities.

    With her current strength, approximately only twenty percent of her peak strength, it was enough to deal with most troubles, and enough to devour Regina’s body.

    However—

    Her spiritual power was too weak. Being trapped in the formation left by the Abyss Master in the palace for ten thousand years had severely weakened her spiritual power. Her current spiritual power wasn’t even as strong as Regina’s.

    She could fully recover her spiritual power, but she didn’t have the time.

    Mu Zhian’s arrival gave her a sense of crisis.

    The Jade Empress didn’t attack immediately, clearly having sensed the formations and the summoning formation within the Southern Wilderness Divine Hall. Xue Yi deliberately revealed this to the Jade Empress.

    It was to prevent the Jade Empress from attacking immediately.

    Unless absolutely necessary, she didn’t want to fight to the death with the Jade Empress.

    That’s why she appeased Mu Zhian, even pretending to believe his proposal, believing that Mu Zhian was on her side.

    It was to allow her spiritual power to recover a bit more and make preparations for devouring Regina in advance.

    As for Huang Weifeng…

    He hadn’t actually helped her at all from beginning to end, just indulging in self-satisfaction.

    She even saw through his little thoughts about her, but he still had some use, so she didn’t act against him immediately.

    “Go back and meditate, don’t let Mu Zhian discover you’re also in the divine hall,” Xue Yi said gently, turning around with a soft smile.

    “Master, then I’ll wait for your good news.”

    Huang Weifeng said with a smile. Sensing Xue Yi’s gentle gaze, his heart twisted inexplicably.

    It was impossible to say he had no thoughts about Xue Yi.

    He went through so much trouble to come to the Southern Wilderness, wasn’t it for opportunities and to win the heart of his beautiful Master?

    But during this time, no matter how he tried to please his Master, all he received were such lukewarm responses.

    On the other hand, Mu Zhian had just arrived in the Southern Wilderness for one day, and Master was already acting intimately with him, even holding his hand…

    This made Huang Weifeng understand one thing: women were ultimately women. Facing Mu Zhian, a man with a powerful background and exceptional looks, they were very likely to submit to him.

    And he painstakingly brought Master to the Southern Wilderness, even giving her many pills along the way to nourish her spiritual sense, yet all he received in return was a thank you.

    Thinking of this, jealousy burned in Huang Weifeng’s heart, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.

    No matter what, Master was his. No one could take her away from him!

    Mu Zhian’s backing was indeed powerful, but there would be times when he was alone.

    And at that time…

  • It turns out, they are the protagonists 472p2

    Chapter 472: Shared Senses with the Heart-Binding Lock! p2

    “Why are you here? The guards here are incredibly strict. If they discover you…”

    Looking at Mu Zhian walking towards her, Regina lowered her voice as much as possible to remind him. Her cauldron was sealed, and she was no different from an ordinary woman now, naturally unable to transmit her voice.

    Mu Zhian said concisely, “Xue Yi also knows I’m here. Or rather, she agreed to let me come find you.”

    After a brief moment of stunned silence, Regina looked at him quietly.

    From the first time she met Mu Zhian, she knew he was an extremely promiscuous fellow… The connection between her and Mu Zhian was purely because of a deal.

    She only accepted Mu Zhian’s deal back then to help her Soul Reading Constitution evolve. She didn’t have any particular feelings for Mu Zhian himself.

    But after experiencing the incident of being chased by her own kind in the Jade Pool Holy Land last time, she had a different opinion of Mu Zhian.

    She even thought that after Mu Zhian came to the Southern Wilderness in the future, she could use the ‘deal’ as an excuse to keep him in the Southern Wilderness for a while…

    But hearing Mu Zhian’s words now, her first reaction wasn’t anger at being betrayed, but an indescribable disappointment, as if her heart had been hollowed out.

    Growing up in the Southern Wilderness, for more than twenty years, she didn’t have a single person willing to help her in times of need.

    The last person who helped her like this was Mu Zhian.

    She had fantasized about this person appearing before her like a divine soldier descending from heaven, just like last time in the Jade Pool Holy Land…

    But just as Xue Yi said, Mu Zhian still chose Xue Yi, not her.

    “Miss Regina.”

    Just then, she suddenly heard a voice transmission in her mind, pulling her back to reality. She subconsciously looked up.

    She saw the young man’s gentle and refined, handsome face in her vision, and his eyes gazing quietly at her. For some reason, it gave her an inexplicable sense of reassurance.

    Although Mu Zhian deliberately restrained his charming aura, Regina was still involuntarily attracted.

    “Do you trust me?” Mu Zhian asked softly.

    She nodded silently.

    He didn’t choose Xue Yi… Although Mu Zhian didn’t say anything, just looking at his eyes, Regina had this feeling.

    Mu Zhian gazed at her for a moment, then smiled gently: “Miss Regina, I would like you to accept Senior Xue Yi’s devouring.”

    He spoke without any concealment, his tone very normal and natural, his voice echoing through the hall to the outside.

    “I know you’ve been unwilling to accept Senior Xue Yi’s devouring because you still want to live, but I’ve already made an agreement with her. If you accept her devouring, she will preserve your spiritual sense.”

    “After that, I will also find a way to rebuild a new body for you.”

    Regina was stunned for a moment.

    Then, she quickly nodded with a smile.

    “…I understand.”

    After finishing the conversation, Mu Zhian was led by a maid to a vacant guest room to rest.

    Mu Zhian casually closed the door, sat down before the antique-style desk, and asked casually, “Jade Empress Sister, how did it go?”

    “You guessed correctly, Xue Yi did have a backup plan.”

    At some unknown point, the slender green figure had already appeared before the desk. Her left leg crossed over her right, her jade-like, voluptuous legs swaying beneath her green gauze skirt, her tender white feet faintly visible.

    “What backup plan?” Mu Zhian looked up at her.

    “There are special formations within this Southern Wilderness Divine Hall that strengthen the Southern Wilderness gods.”

    “And I confirmed earlier… There seems to be a summoning formation in this divine hall. That’s probably the reason for Xue Yi’s confidence.”

    Mu Zhian was stunned: “A summoning formation in the Southern Wilderness Divine Hall…? Could Xue Yi summon a Dao Integration Realm existence from the summoning formation?”

    “I’m not sure, but you don’t plan to directly fight Xue Yi anyway, right?” Yao Meng said with a faint smile.

    Mu Zhian nodded slightly: “How is Regina?”

    “Just as you expected, Xue Yi did something to her. She and Regina’s souls are currently bound together. Even if I intervene, I can’t take Regina out of the Southern Wilderness,” Yao Meng said faintly.

    Soul binding, even among Dao Integration Realm experts, this method was quite rare. Plus, Xue Yi was the Space God, and Regina’s hall was enveloped by special techniques. Wanting to take Regina away immediately was almost impossible.

    Fortunately, Mu Zhian didn’t plan to directly take Regina away from the start.

    After all, there would be a showdown between Regina and Xue Yi sooner or later.

    Mu Zhian pondered for a moment, then said, “I might need your help with something.”

    Yao Meng glanced at him, a playful tone in her clear and pleasant voice: “You want me to save my love rival? Should I say our Young Master Mu is too kind-hearted, or do you think I’m very generous?”

    Mu Zhian reached out, held one of her jade-white feet, gently massaged it, and said with a smile, “I have an agreement with Regina before, so I have to save her no matter what… Besides, compared to Xue Yi, you should also think it would be more beneficial to the Eastern Continent if Regina becomes the Southern Wilderness ruler, right?”

    Yao Meng’s breathtakingly beautiful face was lightly made up, her eyes looking at the young man with a smile: “Do you think, for a Transcendence Realm expert like me, the final outcome between Xue Yi and Regina would have any impact on me?”

    Just as Mu Zhian was about to speak again, a knock suddenly came from outside the door.

    Mu Zhian and Yao Meng exchanged glances. The latter instantly vanished from the room.

    “Sister Mengrou? Come in,” Mu Zhian immediately said.

    It’s so late, why would she come looking for me now…? Just as Mu Zhian thought of this, he saw the maid in the yellow dress had already pushed open the door and walked in.

    “Sister Mengrou, is there something wrong so late at night?” Mu Zhian looked up and smiled.

    Wei Mengrou casually glanced around the empty room, then said faintly, “I’m just a bit concerned about what you said to Xue Yi during the day.”

    Xue Yi was present during the day, so she couldn’t ask. But she knew the young master’s personality. Logically, he wouldn’t abandon Regina and choose Xue Yi.

    Although the Space God’s beauty was indeed captivating, the young master was a smart person. He shouldn’t be fooled by Xue Yi.

    “Are you really planning to give up on Regina?” Wei Mengrou asked.

    Mu Zhian flipped through the book in his hand at the desk, looked up under the candlelight, and smiled, “Guess?”

    Wei Mengrou pouted: “Fine, don’t tell me.”

    “Since Sister Mengrou already knows the answer, why ask me again?”

    Mu Zhian paused, then said as if suddenly realizing something, “Or perhaps, Sister Mengrou is just looking for an excuse to see me?”

    Wei Mengrou’s eyes flickered, and she snorted coldly: “I just want to know what I need to do next.”

    “Nothing for now,” Mu Zhian smiled.

    “But it might not be the case later.”

    The black mist of the Southern Wilderness had a complicated relationship with the Primordial Witch. If he wanted to explore the truth of the Southern Wilderness black mist, he might need the help of Wei Mengrou, the ‘Primordial Witch’.

    After chatting idly for a while, Mu Zhian suddenly recalled something and said:

    “Right, Sister Mengrou, I recently saw a very interesting storybook, are you interested in reading it?”

    Wei Mengrou looked at the young master doubtfully as he picked up a storybook from the desk and handed it to her.

    She glanced at it, then couldn’t help but look at the young master with disdain: “Domineering Sect Master Falls in Love with Me…? This really fits your philosophy of eating soft rice.”

    Clearly, the proud maid had no interest in this kind of book, even secretly disdaining it.

    “Just take a look, you might be interested,” Mu Zhian said with a smile.

    Not wanting to reject the young master’s kindness, Wei Mengrou ultimately accepted this ‘boring’ storybook.

    As the door closed, Mu Zhian looked down at Yao Meng, who was hiding under the desk, “Jade Empress Sister, have you thought about it?”

    “Also, can’t you just hide in my Innate Celestial Furnace?”

    “I’ve already told you, I have no reason to run errands for a love rival.”

    Yao Meng raised her bright and captivating green eyes. Before the disappointment in Mu Zhian’s eyes could show, her red lips parted slightly, and she said with a smile:

    “So, when you want me to do something, you should order me.”

    She’s getting better and better at this… Mu Zhian looked down at the Jade Empress’s bright and captivating green eyes beneath the desk, his heart rippling. He said softly, “Then please go to the Sword Palace and borrow Ruoxi’s Heart-Binding Lock for me. I have a great use for it later, and also… hiss, let me finish.”

    Mu Zhian shuddered, quickly suppressing his distracting thoughts.

    Yao Meng raised her captivating eyes and looked at him: “What do you need the Heart-Binding Lock for?”

    “When Ruoxi was still at Core Formation Realm, the Heart-Binding Lock could detect if someone was lying… And after Nascent Soul Realm, the Heart-Binding Lock evolved once, being able to completely share everything it senses with another person.”

    Mu Zhian gently stroked Yao Meng’s waterfall-like hair and said softly, “Xue Yi and Regina are essentially the same person. She probably sensed our arrival, so she had no choice but to use soul binding.”

    “Now, no one from the outside can directly interfere in their matters. After soul binding, if one is injured, the other will also be severely injured.”

    “So we have to let Xue Yi do what she wants.”

    Mu Zhian caressed Yao Meng’s flawless face and smiled gently.

    “However, it’s not certain who will devour who in the end.”

    Chapter 472: Shared Senses with the Heart-Binding Lock! p1

    Deep within the Southern Wilderness Divine Hall was a sanctuary, and inside the sanctuary was a statue of a woman.

    Not far from the sanctuary was a reception hall. Led by a Southern Wilderness cultivator, Mu Zhian and the others walked along the corridor towards the hall.

    Xue Yi, with her porcelain-like, devastatingly beautiful face, wore a kind and elegant smile. Her eyelids lowered slightly as she held a teacup before her, waiting for the guests to arrive.

    “Senior Xue Yi, I didn’t expect you to return to the Southern Wilderness yourself.”

    Just then, a young man’s gentle voice sounded, pulling her from her thoughts back to reality.

    She casually looked up, a hint of indescribable charm hidden in the depths of her bright, alluring eyes. Her platinum blonde hair rested lightly on her shoulders, setting off her delicate and captivating face.

    “Young Master Mu, I figured you would come to the Southern Wilderness in the next few days, so I’ve been waiting for you,” Xue Yi placed her delicate hands on her knees, a captivating smile on her face.

    At the same time, she gestured for the maid to invite the two to take their seats.

    Then, her gaze swept discreetly over the two, she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and smiled slightly, “Didn’t the Jade Empress come to the Southern Wilderness with you?”

    “She has important matters to attend to, so she didn’t come to the Southern Wilderness with us this time,” Mu Zhian said with a smile, his gaze also discreetly sizing up this strongest god of the Southern Wilderness.

    Her skin was firm, her eyes sparkling with moisture, the years adding a mature charm to her. Her pure white dress was incredibly magnificent, paired with the luxurious crystal shoes inlaid with special spirit stones on her feet, exuding an aura of unparalleled beauty.

    Among the women Mu Zhian knew, the one whose temperament was most similar to Xue Yi was Empress Luo Tan of Yu State. Her attire was equally luxurious and magnificent, yet not vulgar, instead giving off a natural feeling.

    And Xue Yi could also carry off such luxurious makeup and attire.

    “That’s truly a pity. I’ve actually wanted to meet the Jade Empress for a long time now.”

    Xue Yi smiled slightly, “I also want to see the woman who could capture Young Master Mu’s heart.”

    Mu Zhian looked at Xue Yi with surprise, “The cultivators of the Nine Provinces think it’s me who’s reached above my station by marrying the Jade Empress… but Senior Xue Yi’s words seem different from other cultivators.”

    Xue Yi took a sip of tea, her red lips becoming more alluringly glossy: “That’s just because they don’t know Young Master Mu’s excellence. Those who understand Young Master Mu would have a different opinion of you. Just like the maid beside you, she probably shares the same thoughts as me, right?”

    Wei Mengrou casually glanced at the young master, remaining silent.

    Although in many people’s eyes, the young master was indeed considered quite outstanding, she couldn’t possibly admit it directly. After all, this person easily became conceited. If he heard her admit it too… he would probably become even more arrogant.

    “Speaking of which, has Senior Xue Yi’s spiritual sense recovered somewhat recently?” Mu Zhian asked with concern.

    The beautiful Space God twirled a strand of hair around her finger: “If I have to say, it has recovered a bit, but it’s still far from my peak state.”

    Mu Zhian pondered: “If there’s anything this junior can do, Senior, please don’t hesitate to ask.”

    “I’m so happy to hear you say that.”

    A bright and captivating smile appeared on Xue Yi’s face: “Actually, there is something I might need Young Master Mu’s help with.”

    Mu Zhian said calmly, “Please speak, Senior.”

    “Before I left the Southern Wilderness, I left behind a clone, through which I can be reborn… However, I didn’t expect to be trapped in the Abyss palace for so long, that clone developed her own will with the passage of time.”

    “My spiritual power is weak now. If I rashly try to take over that clone, there’s a possibility of being backfired… But if this continues, I’m afraid it’s only a matter of time before I disappear between heaven and earth.”

    Xue Yi’s slender hand reached across the table, gently resting on the back of Mu Zhian’s hand. She bit her lip, her eyes tearing up, “Can Young Master Mu help me? If I can be reborn, I will repay you for the rest of my life…”

    “Or, any condition you propose afterward, I will also accept.”

    The beauty’s bosom pressed against the table as she lifted her devastatingly beautiful face. Her skin was smooth like jade-fat, her beautiful eyes reflecting the candlelight, sparkling brightly as she gazed at Mu Zhian.

    Mu Zhian showed a troubled expression: “The clone Senior Xue Yi mentioned is Regina, right? But I have an agreement with her, to give her the Reincarnation Spiritual Energy in the future. If she’s devoured by you, I’m afraid this junior will face the punishment of a lightning tribulation for breaking my oath.”

    “This Mu is not someone who goes back on his word…”

    Such a righteous gentleman… Xue Yi raised her face and said softly, “In a sense, I am Regina. If Young Master Mu is worried about breaking your oath and attracting a lightning tribulation, you can also make an agreement with me.”

    Wei Mengrou silently watched this scene, pouting slightly.

    Another vixen…

    Mu Zhian showed a troubled expression, then, looking at Xue Yi’s gentle and holy eyes, he quickly melted into the tenderness she created: “Is Senior really willing to replace Regina?”

    Xue Yi smiled gently, clapping her hands lightly before her chest, and tilting her head:

    “Of course, afterward, I will give Young Master Mu anything you want as a reward.”

    Mu Zhian hesitated slightly: “To be honest with Senior, I have some friendship with Regina. If Senior agrees to leave a wisp of her spiritual sense after devouring her, I’m confident I can persuade her to accept your proposal, it’s just…”

    “Just what?” Xue Yi asked.

    Mu Zhian gazed at the holy and captivating woman in the white dress with a hint of infatuation: “Just before that, I need to see Regina.”

    “Senior, this is far enough, I’ll go in and talk to Regina myself.”

    Led by Xue Yi, Mu Zhian quickly arrived before a closed hall. Looking at the tall and slender woman beside him, he spoke at the right moment.

    “Then I’ll leave it to Young Master Mu.”

    Xue Yi’s cheerful voice came from outside the hall.

    Watching Mu Zhian enter the hall, Xue Yi, with her lazy and innocent, delicate face, smiled and said, “Keep an eye on the hall, don’t let him take Regina away.”

    The Southern Wilderness guest elder appeared before the hall like a ghost, lowering his head respectfully, “Lord Xue Yi, aren’t you worried he’ll discuss some way to deal with you with Regina? Should we send someone to secretly follow him and see what they talk about?”

    Xue Yi licked her rosy lips and smiled, “Everything within my space is under my control. He was indeed infatuated with my body just now, it was obvious from his eyes.”

    “Besides, do you think I would let him see Regina without any preparations?”

    A strand of platinum blonde hair rested lazily on her shoulder. A dangerous glint appeared in Xue Yi’s smile.

    When she sensed Mu Zhian’s arrival not long ago, she had already used a Southern Wilderness technique to bind her soul with Regina’s.

    Let alone Mu Zhian, even if the Jade Empress intervened, it would be impossible to take Regina away.

    “Lord Xue Yi is wise, however… are you sure he can persuade Regina?” the Southern Wilderness guest elder hesitated.

    “It doesn’t matter if we let him try. My goal is just to make him give up on rescuing Regina. As for the rest… let him try.”

    Xue Yi turned and walked on the soft carpet. A maid behind her stepped forward, lifting her trailing white dress, and quickly left the hall.

    The Jade Empress was indeed difficult to deal with, and naturally so was the Sword Palace Master. But she hadn’t offended Mu Zhian. What reason did the Jade Empress have to come to the Southern Wilderness looking for her, even causing a big fuss?

    As for Mu Zhian… he was even easier to deal with.

    The more lecherous a man was, the easier it was for him to be immersed in Xue Yi’s gentle trap. Just now, on the surface, Mu Zhian seemed demure like a refined gentleman, but Xue Yi could clearly sense his gaze repeatedly glancing greedily at her chest and legs.

    If they really went to bed, she was confident she could turn him into a good boy willingly kissing her toes.

    The Jade Empress’s man… was still worth playing with.

    Stepping into the hall, Mu Zhian saw Regina sitting cross-legged beneath the statue of the Black Mist Mistress, praying quietly.

    She wore a black dress, revealing a pair of beautiful snow-white legs beneath her skirt. Her ankles were bound by thin ropes containing sealing power, making her already frail appearance even more pitiful.

    Sensing the hall door open, Regina didn’t open her eyes. Her long, curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said calmly, “What are you doing here again?”

    “Miss Regina, long time no see.”

    The familiar voice stunned Regina for a moment. She abruptly opened her eyes and looked over incredulously.

    After gazing for a moment, she quickly glanced nervously at the outside of the hall.

    “Why are you here? The guards here are incredibly strict. If they discover you…”

  • It turns out, they are the protagonists 471p2

    Chapter 471: Does the Bad Woman Want to Do Bad Things? p2

    Friction between the Eastern Continent and the Southern Wilderness was constant, and although the cultivators under her knew little about this, they knew that the Three Pillar Gods of the Southern Wilderness all died at the hands of Eastern Continent cultivators.

    If the Southern Wilderness cultivators knew that their ‘god’ actually took the initiative to befriend a little cultivator from the Eastern Continent, the Southern Wilderness cultivators would probably be the first to be unable to accept it.

    “Who told you I would lower myself to please him?”

    Xue Yi maintained her kind smile, but a hint of disgust appeared in her eyes.

    “I have my own plans for this matter. You’ve had conflict with Mu Zhian before. If you can’t control your emotions, go meditate and cultivate in the inner hall later. I will handle them myself.”

    Hearing this, Huang Weifeng was still somewhat doubtful, but on second thought, with Master’s status, there was no need for her to lie to him, right?

    After all, she was the strongest god in the Southern Wilderness. Although her beauty was unparalleled, no matter what, as long as she wasn’t willing, even that Mu Zhian, what could he do to her?

    Did he really think everyone would like a little cultivator like Mu Zhian?

    “I understand, then I’ll go back to the inner hall to meditate and cultivate. I’ll leave the rest to Master.”

    Huang Weifeng nodded slightly, looking up at the beauty in the pure white dress, faintly emitting a soft golden light, a fleeting infatuation in his eyes.

    Compared to this beautiful Master before him, the female cultivators he encountered while traveling in the Eastern Continent were far inferior in terms of appearance, realm, and even intelligence.

    It was impossible to say he had no thoughts about her, otherwise he wouldn’t have traveled thousands of miles to the Southern Wilderness with Xue Yi.

    He did this partly to help Xue Yi recover her original strength, so she could stand up for him and defeat Mu Zhian… and partly out of selfish motives.

    Xue Yi quietly watched the young man turn and leave.

    A kind smile remained on her face, but for a moment, a coldness devoid of warmth flashed through her gentle eyes.

    She turned and walked along the long corridor of the divine hall, towards a chapel with multiple formations.

    At the end of the chapel was a statue of a woman.

    Beneath the statue, a blonde beauty in Southern Wilderness attire, large areas of her skin exposed, knelt there. Her body was bound by a silk-like thin rope. The rope extended from her thighs upwards, binding her hands together as well.

    “Soul Sealing Lock. Once cultivators below Nascent Soul Realm are bound by this lock, even the slightest bit of generated Spiritual Energy will be absorbed by the Soul Sealing Lock. However, I really didn’t expect your constitution to be so weak. After losing your Spiritual Energy, you’re not even as good as an ordinary person.”

    Xue Yi, wearing sexy high-heeled sandals and a white dress with a trailing skirt, walked gracefully to Regina’s front, slowly squatted down, and looked into her eyes.

    “Actually, you were originally a measure I left behind. If you’re willing to swear allegiance to me, after I merge with you in the future, I will also leave a wisp of your spiritual sense, how about it?”

    Regina slowly raised her head, her lips slightly pale, a sneer on her face: “The dignified Space God, willing to share a body with me, a ‘junior’? Moreover, leaving behind a wisp of spiritual sense, then obeying you in everything, what’s the difference between that and a living corpse?”

    After returning to the Southern Wilderness, she had investigated the Space God. Within some sealed ancient texts, she also discovered many unknown secrets.

    For example, Xue Yi created her purely for future consumption. Saying she would leave behind a wisp of her spiritual sense, but that wisp of spiritual sense could only stay in Xue Yi’s cauldron forever, with no possibility of seeing the light of day again, what was the point?

    “You’re too stubborn. If it weren’t for you being the Southern Wilderness Holy Maiden, with several Southern Wilderness elders pleading for you, do you think this Seat would bother talking to you so much?” Xue Yi said with a smile.

    “Isn’t it because your strength hasn’t even recovered twenty to thirty percent, your spiritual power insufficient, and you’re worried that after taking over my body, your spiritual sense will be devoured by me instead?” Regina chuckled mockingly.

    “Now that I’ve fallen into your hands, there’s naturally nothing to say… However, don’t think I’ll just compromise and let you devour this body.”

    If it weren’t for that person called ‘Huang Weifeng’ bringing Xue Yi into the Southern Wilderness, the entire Southern Wilderness should be under her control now.

    Then the current situation would be completely different.

    Xue Yi quietly gazed at Regina, an unusual glint in her beautiful eyes, and said softly, “You’re not thinking that little lover you met in the Two Polarities Sect will come to rescue you, are you?”

    Regina’s maintained coldness finally changed, but her tone remained calm: “Why do you say that?”

    “I heard quite a bit about you and Mu Zhian from that little cultivator called Ye Yu. With Mu Zhian’s current backing, if he really wants to save you, it will indeed cause quite a bit of trouble for me.”

    Xue Yi smiled brightly: “Or rather, this trouble has already come knocking.”

    Regina subconsciously looked at the Space God, asking incredulously, “He’s already here…?”

    “Mu Zhian is currently outside the divine hall in the Southern Wilderness. He’ll probably come visiting soon.”

    The Space God revealed a charming smile devoid of warmth: “Why don’t you guess, after I meet him, will he ultimately choose you, the genius of the Southern Wilderness, or choose me?”

    The Space God, as her name suggested, controlled space and was the god whose power was closest to the ‘Black Mist Mistress’.

    In the past, most of the time, the Southern Wilderness cultivators talked most about the Space God, who rarely appeared but had the highest prestige.

    And the reason wasn’t because of ‘power’, but because Xue Yi understood people’s hearts too well, and also manipulated them.

    When Mu Zhian first met her, she had a kind and charming smile, her every move exuding elegance, her compassionate eyes giving one the urge to embrace her and be ‘purified’.

    However, Mu Zhian had seen similar eyes in Yao Meng and clearly knew the other side of that fairy’s ‘holy’ appearance, so he was wary of Xue Yi from the start.

    “Someone in that divine hall just now locked onto you with their spiritual sense. Be careful when you enter the divine hall later,” Yao Meng’s voice echoed in Mu Zhian’s mind, a soft reminder.

    “Jade Empress Sister, do you know the identity of the person who locked onto me?” Mu Zhian asked.

    “It should be a Dao Integration Realm expert,” Yao Meng said faintly.

    “Xue Yi…?” Mu Zhian murmured softly.

    So it seemed Regina was being confined…

    Regina appeared frail, but her spiritual power was the strongest among her peers that Mu Zhian had seen. Xue Yi was severely injured, with only a wisp of spiritual sense remaining. If she rashly tried to devour Regina’s body, she might be devoured by Regina instead.

    Therefore, Mu Zhian didn’t think Regina was in danger yet.

    Before reaching a desperate situation, Xue Yi wouldn’t take the risk of directly devouring Regina.

    Moreover, there was no Dao Integration Tribulation after rebuilding one’s body in the Southern Wilderness, which was enough to show that Xue Yi hadn’t recovered yet.

    “It seems this trip to the Southern Wilderness wasn’t in vain. If I had delayed any longer, after Xue Yi’s spiritual sense recovered a bit more, she would probably have made a move on Regina.”

    As Mu Zhian was pondering, a Southern Wilderness female cultivator in exotic attire was approaching on her sword from the distance. He looked up.

    “It should be someone sent by Xue Yi to welcome us,” Wei Mengrou said softly.

    “Release the shielding technique on your Innate Celestial Furnace first. This way, it will be more convenient for me to protect you,” Yao Meng’s voice echoed in Mu Zhian’s mind.

    Currently, she couldn’t observe the outside world from within the Innate Celestial Furnace unless Mu Zhian actively released the ‘shielding’ of the Innate Celestial Furnace, or the person inside forcibly peered out.

    And right now, Yao Meng had been forcibly observing the outside world, but this was ultimately quite troublesome.

    Mu Zhian nodded slightly and released the ‘shielding’ technique on his Innate Celestial Furnace.

    Not far away, the Southern Wilderness female cultivator with wheat-colored skin lightly jumped down from her flying sword, looked up, and said softly:

    “Young Master Mu, Miss Wei, Lord Xue Yi is waiting for you two in the divine hall.”

    Mu Zhian cupped his hands and said with a smile, “Thank you for leading the way, Miss.”

    He must have a great power following him on this trip, and Xue Yi definitely knew about it.

    Yet even so, she still sent someone to welcome him.

    He also wanted to know what exactly Xue Yi was planning.

  • It turns out, they are the protagonists 471p1

    Chapter 471: Does the Bad Woman Want to Do Bad Things? p1

    The Southern Wilderness was incredibly vast. Even within the Nine Provinces, its territory was second only to the Eastern Continent and the Demon Realm.

    In reality, although the Southern Wilderness was somewhat desolate, this ‘desolation’ wasn’t because it was barren or anything.

    Its ‘desolation’ was caused by the ‘black mist’.

    In the earliest times, the Nine Provinces weren’t nine provinces, but only eight.

    One day, a mysterious black mist slowly spread towards the south. Wherever the black mist passed, all things withered. Cultivators from the Eastern Continent, Demon Realm, and other places paled upon seeing the black mist, avoiding it at all costs. The area shrouded in black mist became a true forbidden land in people’s hearts.

    Finally, the black mist stopped in a certain region in the south, no longer spreading.

    Nine Provinces cultivators were wary of the black mist, so few outsiders set foot in this region, afraid of being swallowed by the black mist.

    Until one day, a person was born from the ‘black mist’.

    Legend had it that it was a woman, dressed in a black gauze dress, her skin pale, barefoot, with a delicate temperament.

    And wherever she went, the black mist strangely receded.

    Shortly after that, more and more beings were born from the black mist. These beings were born with countless eyes, their appearances ferocious and bizarre. In terms of physical strength alone, they were even stronger than demon beasts.

    Later, these beings were called ‘Heretic Gods’ by the Nine Provinces cultivators.

    Among them, four gods were born with strength far surpassing normal Southern Wilderness beings. They were at the Soul Transformation Realm from birth, not only able to move freely within the black mist, but even able to absorb part of the black mist for their own use. Not long after, they resonated with the Heavenly Dao, achieving supreme Dao Fruit.

    And the Southern Wilderness cultivators believed that it was the grace of the ‘Black Mist Mistress’ that bathed this land.

    To show gratitude to the Black Mist Mistress, the Southern Wilderness cultivators built a divine hall, worshipping the woman as a god and erecting a statue.

    After that, the Southern Wilderness was divided into four powers, controlled by the Four Pillar Gods of Sky, Earth, Ocean, and Space.

    Every few years, the Southern Wilderness Divine Hall would open a secret realm, and occasionally, one or two Southern Wilderness cultivators could comprehend the Southern Wilderness secret techniques left behind by the first ‘goddess’ from within the secret realm.

    Those who comprehended the Southern Wilderness secret techniques could freely travel within the black mist of the Southern Wilderness without being swallowed.

    Even though the Southern Wilderness was currently in chaos due to the loss of the Three Pillar Gods, it was still one of the most powerful regions.

    Because they hadn’t lost all their gods. Not only did Xue Yi return to the Southern Wilderness a few days ago, but more importantly, rumors that the goddess was still alive and protecting the Southern Wilderness still circulated in the Southern Wilderness, and countless Southern Wilderness cultivators firmly believed this.

    After all, ‘She’ was the god who created the entire Southern Wilderness. The black mist was a symbol of holiness in the Southern Wilderness. The Black Mist Mistress naturally couldn’t be easily erased by time.

    A spatial rift opened silently, and Mu Zhian and Wei Mengrou quietly appeared in the depths of the Southern Wilderness.

    This region was truly vast. Mu Zhian looked into the distance and could vaguely see the black mist.

    In mid-air, an ancient divine hall floated quietly. On both sides of the hall were statues of a woman in a long black gauze dress. Formations silently strengthened the divine hall, making it faintly emit a sacred halo.

    This was the Southern Wilderness Divine Hall, also the most sacred place in the hearts of Southern Wilderness cultivators. Within the entire Southern Wilderness, this divine hall was the most dazzling.

    Before the high platform of the divine hall stood a man in black robes, looking extraordinary.

    He was Huang Weifeng. After traveling thousands of miles to the Southern Wilderness with Xue Yi not long ago, he entered the Southern Wilderness Divine Hall with his master, successfully allowing her to be nourished within the hall. Thus, he was warmly welcomed by the elders of the Southern Wilderness Divine Hall and treated as a guest elder.

    And not far behind Huang Weifeng stood a stunningly beautiful woman.

    Her face was captivating, her figure graceful, exuding an ethereal aura.

    Her smooth, pale golden hair cascaded down, her posture dignified. Her pair of watery beautiful eyes were as gentle as water, looking down from the high platform, like a compassionate god, holding a lofty and peerless beauty, her charm unparalleled.

    The Fourth Pillar God of the Southern Wilderness, the Space God, Xue Yi!

    Even the veil on her face was a special artifact, not only concealing her devastatingly beautiful face, but also completely restraining her aura. At first glance, one might think she was just an ordinary person.

    Just as Mu Zhian and the others appeared in the Southern Wilderness, Xue Yi immediately sensed their arrival.

    “Mu Zhian… he actually came to the Southern Wilderness,” Xue Yi murmured softly.

    “What, Mu Zhian also came to the Southern Wilderness?!”

    Hearing this, Huang Weifeng immediately looked down from the platform of the divine hall in mid-air.

    “He’s really bold, knowing that the Southern Wilderness isn’t friendly towards him, towards the Eastern Continent, he actually dares to step into the Southern Wilderness so openly…” Huang Weifeng’s eyes flickered. He was somewhat excited about Mu Zhian’s arrival.

    The Southern Wilderness wasn’t like the Eastern Continent. This was Xue Yi’s territory after all. He had been brooding over his defeat against Mu Zhian last time. Now, seeing such a good opportunity, he naturally felt a sense of fighting spirit, wanting to compete with Mu Zhian again.

    However, the next moment, Xue Yi’s clear and pleasant voice was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the fire in Huang Weifeng’s heart.

    “Mu Zhian has two Transcendence Realm experts backing him, as well as the Spirit Dragon and others supporting him. He’s well taken care of. Do you think even if he wanted to come alone, those other great powers would agree?”

    These words made Huang Weifeng’s face turn somewhat unsightly: “You mean… Mu Zhian has great powers accompanying him? What exactly is he here for?”

    Xue Yi smiled gently: “According to Regina’s words earlier, she has a close relationship with Mu Zhian. Perhaps… this time, he realized Regina was in trouble, so he specially came to rescue her.”

    Huang Weifeng nodded silently, then hesitated, “If we follow Master’s reasoning just now, wouldn’t Mu Zhian have either the Jade Empress or the Sword Emperor with him? If they sense your presence…”

    “This is the Southern Wilderness, not the Eastern Continent. Moreover, I’m not like those old monsters in the Southern Wilderness.”

    Xue Yi’s tone was gentle and calm, but carried strong confidence.

    She had obtained the measures she left behind in the Southern Wilderness Divine Hall this time, temporarily recovering some of her Spiritual Energy. With the strengthening of the formations in the divine hall, she could temporarily shield the rules of heaven and earth. Even if the Jade Empress was here, she could still fight.

    The Sky God and the others didn’t know at all that there were special formations hidden within the divine hall left by the Black Mist Mistress, similar to the formations in the Two Polarities Sect, Demon Realm, and other places. Being within the divine hall, one wouldn’t be affected by the rules of heaven and earth.

    And she was the only one who knew the secret of the divine hall.

    “Besides, I don’t intend to become enemies with the Jade Empress and the others,” Xue Yi continued in her gentle voice.

    “But Mu Zhian has a close relationship with Regina. If he knows Regina is being confined by you, he will probably try to rescue her, right…?” Huang Weifeng probed.

    Hearing this, Xue Yi’s eyes gazed playfully into the distance: “It’s true that he has a close relationship with Regina, but as long as I also have a close relationship with him… who do you think he will help then?”

    Huang Weifeng was stunned and hurriedly said, “Master, absolutely not! With your status, lowering yourself to please Mu Zhian, if word spreads, the cultivators in the Southern Wilderness won’t know what to say about you!”

    Chapter 470: Oh No, I’ve Been Tricked p2

    ..

    That afternoon.

    Yao Meng appeared in the Garden of Heavenly Harmony, and beside her was Wei Mengrou, who had been in secluded cultivation comprehending the Dao Rhyme of Nascent Soul Realm for the past two days.

    Yao Meng glanced around the courtyard and asked doubtfully, “Where are the Spirit Dragon and the Palace Master?”

    “Lin Ling just finished breakfast earlier, she should be at Two Polarities Peak playing Go with the Sect Master.”

    “Ruoxi went to the Sword Palace.”

    “Sword Palace? Why did she go to the Sword Palace for no reason?” Yao Meng’s eyes held some doubt.

    “She wants to rebuild the past glory of the Sword Palace,” Mu Zhian said.

    When Gong Lianyue severed her connection with the Heavenly Dao back then, she did leave behind some measures. Several formations were left within the Sword Palace, sealing many Sword Palace disciples and elders within. However, she had been busy with other matters before and didn’t have the time to deal with these things.

    “No wonder…” Yao Meng murmured softly.

    “Is there something you want to ask me?”

    Sensing Mu Zhian’s gaze on her, Yao Meng seemed to realize something and immediately asked.

    Sister Jade Empress really understands me… Mu Zhian nodded slightly: “I’ve seen the map of the Nine Provinces, but there’s very little information about the Southern Wilderness on the map. The ‘black mist’ is especially concerning.”

    “Regarding the black mist, have you ever heard anything about it? I saw a rumor in an ancient text, saying that once tainted by the Southern Wilderness black mist, ominous things will definitely happen,” Mu Zhian asked humbly.

    “I don’t know where the Southern Wilderness black mist technique originates from, but the rumor you mentioned isn’t false.”

    Yao Meng paused, glancing at Wei Mengrou intentionally or unintentionally: “The ominousness within that black mist is somewhat similar to the misfortune on Miss Wei. Once tainted, one will be plagued by misfortune.”

    “Also… when I go to the Southern Wilderness with you this time, I might have to temporarily reside within your Innate Celestial Furnace,” Yao Meng continued.

    Mu Zhian was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and said with a smile, “That’s fine too.”

    Yao Meng single-handedly entered the Southern Wilderness and slew the Ocean God earlier. This incident caused a sensation in the Nine Provinces, and the Southern Wilderness also became more wary of the Jade Pool Holy Land.

    If Yao Meng openly followed Mu Zhian, it would inevitably arouse the vigilance and awe of the Southern Wilderness cultivators.

    This wasn’t beneficial to the purpose of his trip.

    Of course, there was another crucial point—

    “The Spiritual Energy within the Innate Celestial Furnace is truly wonderful~”

    As Yao Meng turned into a streak of green light and entered Mu Zhian’s Innate Celestial Furnace, a heavenly voice echoed leisurely in his mind.

    Yes… Yao Meng herself also wanted to experience the wonderful feeling of being completely enveloped by Mu Zhian’s Spiritual Energy within the Innate Celestial Furnace again.

    The strengthening of the Innate Celestial Furnace, the Heavenly Court’s Spiritual Energy, and the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox’s charming aura blended together… No woman could resist such wonderful Spiritual Energy.

    Even Yao Meng, who cultivated the Dao of Tranquility, was no exception.

    “Sister Mengrou, how have you been these past few days? Did you miss me?”

    Mu Zhian looked at Wei Mengrou and asked jokingly.

    “Seeing you is annoying.”

    The maid in the yellow dress maintained her cold demeanor, glancing sideways at the young master.

    It was obvious that with Mu Zhian’s slightly unstable Spiritual Energy, he must have been intimate with other girls quite a bit in the Two Polarities Sect recently.

    Mu Zhian wasn’t annoyed, but smiled knowingly.

    Wei Mengrou was a somewhat tsundere and cold maid. When you teased her, she would only give you a contemptuous look. If you dared to touch her… even if you were her master, she would dare to kick you.

    Not like the Primordial Witch at all, who had a bit of a ‘yandere’ potential. Mu Zhian had already experienced it.

    So the more she was like this, the more Mu Zhian couldn’t help but want to tease and play tricks on her.

    Mu Zhian looked at the maid’s cold demeanor, then suddenly turned pale, covered his mouth, coughed lightly, and swayed.

    “What’s wrong with you?”

    Wei Mengrou was startled inwardly and immediately stepped forward to support the young master. Seeing his slightly pale face, a hint of heartache flickered in her eyes, “Did something go wrong with your cultivation? You were clearly fine just now…”

    “I’m fine, Sister Mengrou, don’t worry, I’ll be fine after resting for a night,” Mu Zhian forced a smile. “I’ll go back to my room now.”

    He tried to gently push Wei Mengrou away, but she subconsciously gripped his arm, lowered her head, and said softly, “I… I’ll take you back to your room.”

    “No need, I’ll go back myself. Anyway, Sister Mengrou finds my face annoying, so there’s no need to force yourself…” Mu Zhian looked at her and said weakly.

    Wei Mengrou pursed her lips, her voice lowering unconsciously, “It’s not really annoying…”

    “Then is Sister Mengrou thinking about me?” Mu Zhian asked softly.

    “Stop talking nonsense, I’ll take you back to your room.”

    Wei Mengrou quickly denied it. Such a shameful thing as missing the young master during seclusion was something she couldn’t possibly admit.

    However, Mu Zhian didn’t let her go, gently holding Wei Mengrou’s slightly cool small hand, and said softly, “But I miss Sister Mengrou so much that I can’t sleep at night. If I weren’t so busy recently, I would have wanted to tear open a spatial rift and come find Sister Mengrou immediately.”

    Wei Mengrou’s maintained cold demeanor instantly crumbled, her face flushing red. She lowered her head and stammered, “Be… Behave yourself… And I was in seclusion before, you wouldn’t have been able to see me even if you came.”

    “Even if I waited outside, just sensing your aura would make me happy,” Mu Zhian said softly.

    Wei Mengrou fell silent, her face flushed with a captivating blush, like a flustered little deer. She had heard the young master say such direct and affectionate confessions to other women many times before, but when it was her turn, she still felt incredibly shy.

    …But more than that was the uncontrollable shyness and joy surging in her heart.

    Then, Wei Mengrou quickly snapped out of her trance and realized the young master’s ‘weak’ state was completely gone, his gaze now teasing.

    “You were just tricking me?” she finally realized.

    “I was tricking you.”

    Mu Zhian was very frank, holding her small hand, and said softly, “But I wasn’t lying about missing you.”

    Thanks to her concern and his genuinely weakened state from the past few days… otherwise, he really wouldn’t have been able to fool the maid.

    Wei Mengrou struggled slightly, then let Mu Zhian hold her hand, lowering her head slightly, the coldness on her face gradually turning into shyness.

    Time passed silently. After a long while, Wei Mengrou finally left the young master’s embrace, somewhat unsatisfied.

    “You’re going to the Southern Wilderness, it shouldn’t be just to complete your deal with Regina, right?” Wei Mengrou asked with a hint of suspicion.

    “Naturally not.”

    Mu Zhian shrugged: “The Three Pillar Gods of the Southern Wilderness have all fallen, and the entire Southern Wilderness is currently undergoing a major reshuffle. The constant friction between the Southern Wilderness and the Eastern Continent in the past was largely due to the Three Pillar Gods… Therefore, it would be best if the next ruler of the Southern Wilderness is someone friendly towards the Eastern Continent.”

    “You mean… Regina?” Wei Mengrou murmured softly.

    Mu Zhian had saved Regina’s life before, and their relationship was already special. If, after the great upheaval in the Southern Wilderness, Regina became the new Southern Wilderness Empress… it would indeed be better for the future Eastern Continent.

    After all, if Regina became the Southern Wilderness Empress, Mu Zhian would become the link between the Southern Wilderness and the Eastern Continent.

    And the only uncertain factor in making Regina the Southern Wilderness Empress was the Space God, Xue Yi.

    The combat power of the Southern Wilderness Heretic Gods was extremely exaggerated, but even the most powerful great powers couldn’t escape the end of their lifespans.

    Even the Sky God, the only one still at the Dao Integration Realm, was actually nearing the end of his lifespan.

    And the Space God’s combat power was said to far surpass the Three Pillar Gods of the Southern Wilderness… Even injured, she was still an extremely dangerous existence.

    “So that’s why you asked the Jade Empress to go with you?”

    Wei Mengrou murmured thoughtfully, then looked up and said, “I’ll go with you too.”

    She didn’t know what the young master was planning to do, but wherever he went, she would go. This was a rule already established in the past.

    Mu Zhian nodded slightly, then awakened Yao Meng within his Innate Celestial Furnace.

    “I’ll have to trouble Jade Empress Sister to take us to the Southern Wilderness,” Mu Zhian said.

    Yao Meng discreetly glanced at Wei Mengrou’s still slightly flushed face, then looked at Mu Zhian calmly, narrowing her eyes and smiling, “That’s no problem, but where in the Southern Wilderness do you plan to go first?”

    Mu Zhian smiled, “The Southern Wilderness Divine Hall.”

    “Since we’re going to the Southern Wilderness, we should at least visit some acquaintances, right?”
