Chapter 469: Today I’ll Show You a Case of Guarding the Vault and Stealing From It! p1
Before this, Mu Zhian absolutely couldn’t believe that the cold and proud Sword Emperor Gong Lianyue would agree to such an absurd thing.
There were only two Transcendence Realm Human Emperors in the Nine Provinces, and Gong Lianyue and Yao Meng had clashed several times in the past, even fighting over the ‘Holy Grail’… Yet now they could harmoniously appear under the same roof.
And they seemed to be planning to…
Mu Zhian looked at the cool and delicate young lady before him. Her slightly messy hair framed her classic and delicate face, her full and perky bosom proudly straining the white palace dress, swaying gently with her graceful steps.
And on the right side of her ample bosom, a silver imprint was faintly visible, but part of the imprint’s pattern was hidden beneath her clothes, making it difficult to see clearly.
Sensing Mu Zhian’s burning gaze, Bai Ruoxi lowered her head shyly and asked softly, “What’s wrong, Mu Lang?”
Mu Zhian glanced at Yao Meng doubtfully, not knowing what method this Jade Empress used to make Ruoxi agree to such an unbelievable thing…
“Nothing, I’m just relieved seeing you successfully transcend and ascend.”
He quickly collected his thoughts and said with a sigh, “Back then, our realms were only a few ranks apart, and now in the blink of an eye… you’ve already become a Human Emperor of the Nine Provinces, while I’m still only at Nascent Soul Realm.”
“What are you saying, Mu Lang? Isn’t it all thanks to you that I am what I am today?”
Bai Ruoxi’s beautiful, porcelain-like face, her long, curled eyelashes trembling slightly, looked at Mu Zhian resentfully, “Don’t say such things again, Mu Lang. If you do this again… I… I’ll be angry.”
“And my own spiritual sense realm is still similar to yours.”
Bai Ruoxi’s identity was special, possessing two spiritual senses. Now, Gong Lianyue had transcended, while she herself was still at Nascent Soul Realm. When her spiritual sense also reached Dao Integration one day, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox’s charm would truly blossom.
Mu Zhian smiled nonchalantly, reached out, gently stroked Bai Ruoxi’s waterfall-like hair, and said softly, “I was just feeling a bit emotional, I didn’t mean to create distance between us.”
“Right, why are you with Yao Meng today…?” Mu Zhian suddenly changed the subject, his gaze repeatedly glancing at the silver imprint on her chest.
What exactly was this silver imprint…?
Young Master Mu felt a desire to explore the mysterious unknown.
Bai Ruoxi was thin-skinned. Hearing Mu Zhian’s question, her face flushed slightly red: “The Jade Empress said I hadn’t seen you for several days during my seclusion, so she brought me to find you… That’s all.”
Although she said that, looking at Bai Ruoxi’s shy expression, and Yao Meng’s playful gaze beside her, Mu Zhian already had the answer in his heart.
This didn’t seem like simply wanting to see him. They probably wanted to do something more, right?
I really don’t know how the Jade Empress persuaded Ruoxi…
Mu Zhian muttered silently.
Gong Lianyue had wanted to tear Yao Meng apart more than once before, yet now she actually let Yao Meng hold her hand… This was a bit unbelievable.
Mu Zhian reached out, held Bai Ruoxi’s soft small hand, and pulled her to his side.
The young girl stood with her head lowered, looking at her toes… Oh no, with the size of her bosom, she probably can’t see her toes.
Mu Zhian looked at Bai Ruoxi in her white palace dress with some longing, then glanced at Yao Meng tentatively, and said softly, “Jade Empress Sister…”
Yao Meng seemed to guess what he wanted to say and said with a faint smile, “Miss Bai felt she owed me a favor and wanted to find a chance to repay me, so I made a suggestion that wouldn’t be too difficult for her…”
Oh, and then Ruoxi agreed…? No wonder the Palace Master isn’t here now, she’s probably a bit shy?
Mu Zhian suddenly understood.
The difference between Gong Lianyue and Bai Ruoxi was that Gong Lianyue was more proud and probably couldn’t accept such absurd behavior with Yao Meng… But if the dominant personality was Bai Ruoxi, this delicate and compassionate young lady might agree.
“No wonder it’s Ruoxi standing before me now, not the Palace Master,” Mu Zhian murmured, casually wrapping his arm around her waist, pulling her soft body into his embrace, then carefully looking her over.
“Mu… Mu Lang, what’s wrong?”
Bai Ruoxi asked softly, her gaze evasive, somewhat at a loss.
“Ruoxi, what’s the imprint on your chest?” Mu Zhian asked with a hint of curiosity.
Bai Ruoxi said softly and gently, “It’s the imprint left by the ‘Soldier’ character rune after Palace Master transcended…”
“What’s the pattern of the imprint? Can I see it?” Mu Zhian asked.
Bai Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, then glared at Mu Zhian, embarrassed and annoyed.
Mu Zhian said demurely, “I don’t mean anything else, I just want to know what kind of mark the ‘Soldier’ character rune would leave.”
He paused, held Yao Meng’s hand with his other hand, guiding her to his side, looking at the faint green lotus imprint on her tender white ankle, and said, “Yao Meng’s ‘Lin’ character manifested as the World-Purifying Green Lotus imprint, but I’ve never seen the imprint on you before, so I’m a bit curious…”
“Just curious? Then after seeing it, I’ll take her away?” Yao Meng glanced at the young man, slightly raising her proud, snow-white chin, a hint of ‘disdain’ in her green eyes, complementing Bai Ruoxi beside her.
At the same time, Bai Ruoxi gently bit her lower lip. She was already quite ashamed agreeing to the Jade Empress’s absurd proposal. Now, being teased by Mu Zhian, her face naturally burned.
But sensing Mu Zhian’s expectant gaze, she finally suppressed the shame in her heart, raised her slender finger, and touched the jade belt around her waist.
“Wait a moment.”
Just then, Mu Zhian suddenly reached out and gently pressed the back of Bai Ruoxi’s hand.
“Before that, can you help me with something?” Mu Zhian said softly.
Bai Ruoxi looked up, her eyes misty as she looked at Mu Zhian, and asked softly, “What does Mu Lang want to do?”
Mu Zhian leaned close to Bai Ruoxi’s ear and whispered something.
Then, he bent down and personally removed Bai Ruoxi’s small, delicate white knee-high boots, revealing a pair of white stockings.
The young girl seemed somewhat shy, her feet retreating involuntarily, as if wanting to hide them beneath her palace dress, her beautiful, misty eyes looking at Mu Zhian resentfully.
Then, under his expectant gaze, she slowly knelt beside him, letting dust stain her white palace dress.
At the same time, Mu Zhian wrapped his arm around Yao Meng’s slender waist, lowering his head and capturing her soft lips.
…
Two Polarities Peak.
A secluded courtyard within the main peak.
Lin Ling, dressed in a pristine white dress, carefully wrapped the half-eaten roasted chicken in wax paper and, using her sensitive ‘sense of smell’, walked towards Mu Zhian’s location.
Her skirt swayed with her light steps, a pair of deerskin short boots faintly visible. Her straight, unadorned hair cascaded down naturally, slightly curling at her calves. Her delicate and fair face accentuated her elegant and classical beauty.
After the Karmic Fire subsided, she appeared even more demure, pure, and innocent, exuding a natural air.
Passing by Lan Mulian’s palace, Lin Ling paused slightly, tilting her head: “Aaa?”
She thought Mu Zhian should be meditating in Lan Mulian’s palace, but after passing by, she realized he wasn’t there, but in the ‘secret room’ Shang Yanfei had prepared before.
The secret room wasn’t far from Lan Mulian’s palace, but logically, who would go to such a place for meditation and cultivation?
Lin Ling’s delicate and beautiful brows furrowed slightly, her gaze fixed on the secret room not far ahead.
She slowly walked forward, about to push open the door to the secret room.
Just then, Mu Zhian’s calm voice suddenly came from inside: “Lin Ling, have you finished your snacks?”
“Aaaa (I saved some for you.)”
After she finished speaking, she looked at the closed door doubtfully and asked again: “Aaaaa (Your aura is a bit chaotic, did something happen?)”
Mu Zhian gently stroked Bai Ruoxi’s hair and the ‘fox ears’ that appeared on her head. He quickly noticed Yao Meng’s playful gaze.
Mu Zhian appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was racing: “Probably just used some energy cultivating just now, I’ll recover after meditating for a while.”
As soon as his voice fell, he faintly heard the sound of someone about to push open the door. His heart skipped a beat, and he said, “Lin Ling, I’ll come find you later… I’m still—”
His voice suddenly hitched, then after a moment, he said calmly, “…I’m still meditating.”
Lin Ling nodded with an “Aaa”, clearly not suspicious. Soon, the footsteps outside the secret room gradually faded away.
Yao Meng looked up at the relieved young man and said with a smile, “You seemed very nervous just now?”
“She actually wouldn’t say anything even if she saw it,” Mu Zhian gently shook his head.
Lin Ling was different from any other fish in the fishpond. She was the type who didn’t fight or compete. Even if she really saw the scene in the secret room right now… at most, she would be so shocked that she dropped her roasted chicken on the floor.
Yao Meng’s delicate eyebrows immediately raised, her red lips pursing slightly: “You mean I’m being too nosy?”
“I don’t mind Jade Empress Sister being nosy, after all, I’ll make up for it in other ways,” Mu Zhian chuckled.
Yao Meng was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood the meaning of his words, a faint blush appearing on her delicate face.
He led Yao Meng’s hand, letting her lean against the bed behind him, then looked at Bai Ruoxi and said softly, “Ruoxi, if you’re shy, just close your eyes.”
“What does Mu Lang want to do…?” Bai Ruoxi hesitated and asked softly.
Mu Zhian didn’t speak, but gently pressed her against Yao Meng.
“Mu Lang—”
Mu Zhian gently placed his fingertip against her red lips and whispered, “Shh, a moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold.”
…
The night passed without a word.
The secret room was slightly messy in the morning light, a white palace dress and a thin, gauze-like green dress hanging on the clothes rack.
Mu Zhian still looked lively and energetic, not affected in the slightest.
“As expected of the body tempering path, the me after Nascent Soul Realm is truly different… Plus, with the Heavenly Phoenix technique, I feel like I can handle another ‘Transcendence Realm’ expert.”
Mu Zhian changed his clothes refreshed, tidied the room, and slightly adjusted his emotions, switching from last night’s excited state back to his usual self.
Lin Ling had asked him to find her yesterday, but Mu Zhian said he was meditating…
For cultivators, meditating for an entire night was quite normal. The dazed and adorable Miss Spirit Dragon wouldn’t suspect him.
“Lin Ling, are you in your room?”
Walking along the corridor, arriving before another bedchamber, Mu Zhian knocked on Lin Ling’s door.
Pushing open the door, Mu Zhian saw Lin Ling sitting by the window, eating breakfast.
