So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

One morning later.

"Oh no, I've been fooled..."

Mu Zhian muttered to himself while looking at the ceiling, lying on the bed and thinking about the philosophy of the birth of the universe.

Lin Ling was not in the room. She went to the natural hot spring in the backyard to take a fragrant bath. The elegant purple dress was a little messy. It was placed in the room, and the fabric of the dress seemed to be broken a little.

After nearly half an hour, Lin Ling walked into the room wearing Mu Zhian's robe and saw Mu Zhian sitting in front of the window, flipping through an ancient book.

"Aaaaa (Are you okay?)"

Lin Ling came to his side and asked in a low voice with concern.

Mu Zhian glanced at Lin Ling and saw that the silver-haired beauty's red eyes were particularly clear and transparent, as if what happened in the past two days had nothing to do with her.

Feeling the unprecedented weakness of Tianshengluding, Mu Zhian put his arms around her waist, hugged Lin Ling's delicate body into his arms, and said, "My dear Ling'er, who do you think is to blame for this?"

Lin Ling held up her notebook: "If you hadn't been close to other women first, you wouldn't be so tired now."

She paused and continued to write: "But if they come to you together, there's nothing we can do."

Mu Zhian said, "It's just the Yuhua realm. If I want, I can suppress it with my hands."

His eyes stayed on Lin Ling's pure and lovely profile for a moment, and smiled: "Just like suppressing Ling'er the day before yesterday."

Lin Ling's pure face like ice and snow instantly flushed.

She buried her head, writing and drawing on the small notebook, and then handed the text in the small notebook to Mu Zhian: "What are you looking at just now?"

"This is a map of Jiuzhou. I found it in the small dark room of the sect master before."

Mu Zhian pointed to the location near the south on the map and continued: "The area of ​​​​Nanhuang is different from any place in Jiuzhou. There seem to be many forbidden places here. Those forbidden places are filled with mysterious black fog all year round. If you step into them rashly, something ominous is suspected to happen to you, and even worse, you will be swallowed by the mysterious black fog. After that, no one in the world will remember the person swallowed by the black fog."

"In the past, people often said that this black fog was the magic left by the fourth pillar god of Nanhuang, the god of space."

"Have you ever heard of this?"

After asking, Mu Zhian looked at Lin Ling.

"I don't know. I used to suppress the fire in the cave and rarely left the sect." Lin Ling shook his head, his red eyes were as clear as gems, and his expression dimmed.

Although she is in the Hedao realm, she can't help much like the others around him, and can't even help with this matter...

Mu Zhian gently stroked Lin Ling's smooth silver hair and said, "You have helped me a lot in the past. I will ask others about the matter in the Southern Wilderness later. Don't feel guilty."

"Compared to this, when are you going to ascend to heaven? At that time, let Ruoxi and Yao Meng protect you together." Mu Zhian asked.

Lin Ling shook her head gently: "I haven't felt any signs of ascending to heaven yet."

Mu Zhian was stunned when he heard this, and some doubts emerged in his heart.

In theory, as long as you get a seat in the Heavenly Court, it is equivalent to jumping out of the rules of heaven and earth, and there is only one heavenly tribulation away from ascending to heaven... He has always believed so.

But now it seems that it is not so easy for Lin Ling to ascend to heaven?

But it is true.

Lin Ling's identity is special. To describe it in the game, she is a neutral unit...but she happened to be abducted to Liangyi Sect by Shang Yanfei.

Moreover, unlike other great masters of the Dao, Lin Ling resonates with the Dao, so if she wants to ascend to the sky, she may need to get the approval of the Dao, or let her have some special binding with the Dao?

This matter can only be considered slowly later. The most urgent thing now is to fulfill Regina's agreement...

Mu Zhian had a deal with Regina before, and also swore an oath, but Yao Meng's ascension to the sky caused quite a stir, so that the deal was not completed in the end.

Moreover, the Southern Wilderness also involves the matter of the original witch, and he now needs to take Wei Mengrou to the Southern Wilderness.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Lin Ling's face became hotter and hotter in Mu Zhian's arms. She gently poked his waist and had already put up her little notebook waiting for his answer.

Mu Zhian shook his head: "Ling'er just needs to be responsible for eating."

Lin Ling frowned in dissatisfaction, feeling that she was underestimated by Mu Zhian.

"I'm just going to the Southern Wilds to investigate Xue Yi's whereabouts. If there's really a need, I'll tell you."

Mu Zhian held her hand and smiled, "And don't underestimate it. There are many tricks here. Next time, I'll take you to taste other snacks, so you can have more food."

He leaned over and whispered something in the ear of the innocent Miss Linglong.

Lin Ling's body stiffened suddenly, and her delicate face soon flushed.

Mu Zhian couldn't help but smile, holding her soft little hand, and said softly: "My Ling'er is so innocent that she can't stand teasing."

Lin Ling glanced at Mu Zhian's nearly exhausted Tiansheng furnace, and silently wrote in the small notebook: "Your breath is a little weak, let's go to the herbal medicine hall for breakfast."

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment, nodded slightly and smiled: "Okay."

When Lin Ling left Mu Zhian's arms and was about to walk out of the room, Mu Zhian's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Wait."

Lin Ling paused and turned to look at him in confusion: "Aaa?"

"You want to wear my clothes to the herbal medicine hall?" Mu Zhian asked.

At this moment, Lin Ling was wearing the black robe that Mu Zhian often wore in the past. The slightly loose robe completely hid the figure of this silver-haired beauty, but the exposed skin was white and translucent, with a special beauty.

"Aaa..."

Lin Ling nodded slightly, took off the robe, and then took out a white dress to change into, and then took Mu Zhian's hand and planned to leave.

But she found that when Mu Zhian stood up, his steps seemed a little shaky.

"Are you okay?" Lin Ling wrote in the small notebook with concern.

"It's okay... just help me." Mu Zhian said silently.

No matter how strong the Return to Void Realm is, it can't withstand suppressing two human emperors, and then practicing with Lin Ling in the state of karma fire.

"I am also a nine-tailed fox body, which is half a demon cultivator, so why can't I have as much energy as you?" Mu Zhian sighed.

"I am also a special type among demon cultivators. Not all demon cultivators have strong energy." Lin Ling answered obediently in the small notebook.

In the current demon world, the strongest physique is the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Body of the Demon Queen, and Lin Ling's physique is at least not inferior to the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Body.

Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled, "My Ling'er is not a demon cultivator."

He looked at the silver-haired beauty with an innocent and cute face at the moment, kissed her exquisite and beautiful side face, and whispered, "You are a troublesome little demon."

...

The Medicinal Diet Hall, as the name suggests, is actually a place to make some food.

Cultivators usually don't need to eat, and everything they have can be obtained from the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

However, these medicinal foods are usually not ordinary medicinal foods, but special foods with natural materials and treasures. Only the inner disciples of Liangyi Sect or some disciples with excellent performance and a lot of sect points can occasionally enjoy such medicinal foods in the medicinal food hall.

Mu Zhian still has a lot of sect points left, so it is natural for him to take Lin Ling to enjoy breakfast.

However, I don’t know if the news was leaked or not. Soon after the two of them stepped into the private room on the second floor of the medicinal food hall, several maids had already brought different medicinal foods into the private room. Even the tableware was made of special spiritual stones, and the chopsticks in their hands could also smell a faint fragrance.

Lin Ling sat silently in the private room with a calm expression, allowing the maid next to her to pour tea and cut cakes for her. Her sitting posture was straight and elegant. She didn’t see the silly and cute girl posture at ordinary times at all, but instead had a bit more elegant temperament of the queen.

Only at this time did Mu Zhian realize that she was the guardian beast of the Liangyi Sect, a creature born from the Great Dao, and the queen of the destiny of the Nine Provinces.

It was just that she was always cute and innocent in front of Mu Zhian, so that he ignored her true identity.

"You can leave first, I can enjoy breakfast by myself." Lin Ling held up the small notebook to show the maid next to her.

After the people in the private room left, Mu Zhian couldn't help asking: "So you still know people from the herbal medicine hall?"

Lin Ling nodded gently: "I was discovered by the leader when I was eating snacks in the herbal medicine hall before, and then she told me that I could come here to enjoy snacks at any time."

"But I see that you seem to seldom come to the herbal medicine hall...?" Mu Zhian said doubtfully.

"They all have a purpose, and you can't always eat their food, otherwise you will owe them a favor." Lin Ling put her index finger on her lips and told Mu Zhian a 'secret'.

"This is also what the sect master told you, right?" Mu Zhian couldn't help laughing.

Lin Ling nodded gently.

"If that's the case, why did you come again today?"

Lin Ling hesitated, and raised the small notebook again: "You have been helping me suppress the fire of karma these two days, and the consumption is huge. I feel sorry and have to be responsible for you."

She really, I really cried to death... Mu Zhian sighed in his heart.

After sitting in the private room and enjoying breakfast with Lin Ling, Mu Zhian's body seemed to be faintly overflowing with a faint spiritual glow, which was extremely rich.

I don't know how many natural treasures he ate for this breakfast...Mu Zhian felt the energy gradually filling up in his body, burped with satisfaction, and took Lin Ling to Liangyi Peak together.

...

That afternoon.

Yao Meng's figure appeared in Tianhe Garden, and next to her was Wei Mengrou, who had been in seclusion two days ago to comprehend the Daoyun of returning to the void.

Yao Meng glanced at the courtyard and asked in confusion: "Where are Linglong and the Palace Master?"

"Ling'er just finished breakfast. She should be playing chess with the Sect Master at Liangyi Peak now."

"Ruoxi went to the Sword Palace."

"Sword Palace? Why did she go to the Sword Palace for no reason?" Yao Meng's eyes were filled with confusion.

"She wants to rebuild the glory of the Sword Palace in the past." Mu Zhian said.

When Gong Lianyue cut off her own Heavenly Dao, she did leave a backup plan. There were several formations in the Sword Palace, which sealed many disciples and elders in the Sword Palace. However, she had been busy with other things before and had no time to deal with these things.

"No wonder..." Yao Meng whispered to herself.

"Do you have something to ask me?"

Aware of Mu Zhian's gaze on her, Yao Meng seemed to realize something and spoke immediately.

Sister Qingdi really understands me... Mu Zhian nodded slightly: "I have seen the map of Kyushu, but there is very little information about Southern Wilderness, and the 'black mist' in it is even more concerning. ”

"About the black mist, have you heard anything in the past? I read that there is a rumor left in the ancient books. Once you are contaminated with the black mist of the Southern Wilderness, something ominous will happen in the future." Mu Zhian asked humbly.

"I don't know where the Black Mist Technique in Southern Wilderness originated from, but the rumors you mentioned are not false."

Yao Meng paused and looked at Wei Mengrou intentionally or unintentionally: "The ominousness in the black mist is somewhat similar to Miss Wei's bad luck. Once it is contaminated, it will be haunted by the ominousness."

"In addition... this time I go with you to the Southern Wilderness, I'm afraid I will have to live in your natural furnace temporarily." Yao Meng continued.

Mu Zhian was startled, but he quickly reacted and said with a smile, "That's fine."

Previously, Yao Meng stepped into the Southern Wilderness alone and killed the God of the Ocean. This incident caused a sensation in the Nine Provinces, and the Southern Wilderness became more fearful of the Yaochi Holy Land.

If Yao Meng followed Mu Zhian openly and honestly, he would inevitably arouse the vigilance and awe of the Nanhuang monks.

This was not conducive to the purpose of his trip.

Of course, there is another very crucial point -

"The spiritual energy in the natural furnace is really wonderful~"

As Yao Meng turned into a ray of blue light and entered Mu Zhian's natural furnace, a heavenly fairy voice sounded leisurely in his heart.

Yes... Yao Meng himself also wanted to experience the wonderful feeling of being completely enveloped by Mu Zhian's spiritual energy in the Tiansheng Furnace.

The strengthening of the natural furnace, the aura of heaven, and the charming aura of the nine-tailed fox... No woman can refuse such a wonderful aura.

Even if Yao Meng practices meditation, he is no exception.

"Sister Mengrou, how have you been these past few days? Do you miss me?"

Mu Zhian's eyes fell on Wei Mengrou and asked half-jokingly.

"I feel upset when I see you."

The maid in a yellow skirt maintained a cold attitude and squinted at the young master.

You don't need to think about it to know that Mu Zhian's spiritual energy is a bit frivolous, and he must have been close to other girls in the Liangyi Sect these days.

Mu Zhian was not annoyed, but smiled knowingly.

Wei Mengrou is a somewhat arrogant and aloof maid. When you tease her, she will only give you a look of contempt. If you dare to touch her... even if you are the master, she will dare to kick you.

She is not like the original witch at all, she is a being with a bit of 'yandere' potential, and Mu Zhian has already experienced this.

So the more this happened, the more Mu Zhian couldn't help but want to tease her when he saw her.

Mu Zhian looked at the maid's cold attitude. His face suddenly turned pale, he covered his mouth and coughed lightly, and his body shook.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Wei Mengrou was shocked, and immediately stepped forward to support the young master. When she saw that his face was a little pale, a trace of distress flashed in her eyes, and she said, "Something went wrong in the training? He was obviously fine just now..."

"I'm fine. Sister Mengrou, don't worry. It'll be fine after a little rest overnight." Mu Zhian forced a smile and said, "I'm going back to the room first."

As he spoke, he wanted to gently push Wei Mengrou away, but Wei Mengrou subconsciously grabbed his arm, lowered her head and whispered: "I, I will take you back to your room."

"No need, I'd better go back by myself. Anyway, Sister Mengrou finds my face annoying when she sees it, so I won't force it..." Mu Zhian stared at her and said weakly.

Wei Mengrou pursed her lips and lowered her voice unconsciously: "I'm not really worried..."

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

"You're still talking nonsense at this time. I'll take you back to your house first."

Wei Mengrou quickly denied that she was still thinking about the young master during the solitary period, which was a shameful thing. It was impossible to admit such a thing no matter what.

Mu Zhian did not let her go. He gently held Wei Mengrou's cold little hand and said softly: "But I miss Sister Mengrou so much that I can't sleep at night. If there hadn't been too many things recently, I would have wanted to immediately Tear open the rift in space to find Sister Mengrou.”

The cold attitude that Wei Mengrou had just maintained was broken in a second, her pretty face turned red suddenly, she lowered her head and stammered: "Be more serious...and I have been in seclusion before, so you won't be able to see me when you come. "

"Even if I'm waiting outside for Sister Mengrou, I'll be happy if I can feel your breath." Mu Zhian said softly.

Wei Mengrou fell silent, with a touching blush on her face, like a panicked deer. She had actually heard him say it to other women several times before with the young master, but it was really her turn. I still feel extremely ashamed.

...But what’s more, it’s the shyness and joy that surges uncontrollably in my heart.

Then soon, Wei Mengrou woke up from her trance and found that the young master's 'weak' state just now was gone, and he was looking at her with a teasing look.

"Were you lying to me just now?" She finally came to her senses.

"I'm lying to you."

Mu Zhian was very calm, grabbed her little hand, and said softly: "But I think you didn't lie about this."

If you care, it will lead to chaos, and Mu Zhian has indeed lost a lot of spiritual energy in the past few days... Otherwise, he really can't hide it from the maid.

Wei Mengrou struggled briefly, then let Mu Zhian hold her hand, lowering her head slightly, and the indifference on her face gradually turned into a shy posture.

Time passed by silently, and after a while, Wei Mengrou left the young master's arms, feeling a little unfinished.

"Are you planning to go to the Southern Wilderness just to complete the previous deal with Regina?" Wei Mengrou asked with a somewhat skeptical tone.

"Of course not."

Mu Zhian shrugged: "All the three pillar gods of the Southern Wilderness have fallen. Now the entire Southern Wilderness is undergoing a major reshuffle. In the past, there was constant friction between the Southern Wilderness and Dongzhou. A large part of the reason was because of the three pillar gods... So this If possible, it would be best to choose someone who is friendly to Dongzhou as the master of Southern Wasteland."

"You mean... Regina?" Wei Mengrou whispered to herself.

Mu Zhian once saved Regina's life, and the relationship between the two is already special. If in the end after the great turmoil in Southern Wilderness, Regina can succeed the Queen of Southern Wilderness... For the future of Dongzhou, it will indeed be It will be better.

After all, if Regina becomes the Queen of Southern Wilderness, Mu Zhian will become the hub for exchanges between Southern Wilderness and Dongzhou.

The only uncertain factor that makes Regina become the Queen of the Southern Wilderness is the God of Space, Shae.

The Southern Wilderness Evil God's combat power is exaggerated to the extreme, but no matter how powerful he is, he cannot survive the longevity.

Even the only sky god who was still in the Hedao realm was actually approaching the end of his lifespan.

The combat power of the God of Space is said to be far superior to that of the Three Pillar Gods of the Southern Wilderness... Even if he is injured now, he is still extremely dangerous.

"Is that why you asked Emperor Qing to go with you?"

Wei Mengrou muttered to herself thoughtfully, then raised her head and said, "I'll go with you too."

She didn't know what the young master wanted to do, but she would go wherever the young master went. This was the default rule in the past.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly, and then woke up Yao Meng in the natural furnace.

"We have to ask Sister Qingdi to take us to the Southern Wilderness together." Mu Zhian said.

Yao Meng glanced at Wei Mengrou's face that still had some blush, then looked at Mu Zhian calmly, narrowed his eyes and smiled: "That's okay, but where do you plan to go to the southern wilderness first? ?”

Mu Zhian smiled and said: "Southern Wilderness Temple."

"Since we've gone to Southern Wilderness, we should go meet some acquaintances first, right?"
