So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

It was night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

The dignified and mature princess opened her eyes, as if she had noticed something, and walked out of the room with her skirt lifted.

"Your Highness, do you have anything to tell me?" The sweet and respectful voice of the maid who accompanied her on this trip came from the door.

The princess slightly raised her chin, and under the veil, her beautiful eyes were filled with strange colors, and she said: "Is that the direction where Luo Tan lives?"

The maid looked up and said: "Yes, His Majesty the Medicine King usually rests in that bedroom."

"Did your Highness find anything?" The maid asked.

The princess blinked her beautiful eyes and stared at that direction. After an unknown period of time, she exhaled gently.

Above the bedroom where Luo Tan lived, at this moment, it seemed that the shadow of a fox tail could be vaguely seen, charming and charming.

In addition to the demonic aura in the fox tail, there was more of the sacred aura of the heavenly court.

However, most cultivators could not perceive what was happening in Luotan Palace at this moment, and could not even catch the breath of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, let alone the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Court.

But the princess was born to be connected with the Great Dao, which means that her perception was amazing, which means that she had the ability to catch adultery at the maximum level.

As long as Mu Zhian was still in the palace, she would be able to catch him if he lost a little bit of the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Court.

What's more, his spiritual energy of the Heavenly Court was fading away rapidly at this moment...

"She is really anxious." The princess raised her eyebrows slightly and could not help but mutter to herself.

The Nine Cauldrons Refining Void Pill had not yet been refined. If Luotan ate that piece of "cake" so quickly, it would have no effect on Luotan, but it would have a significant impact on Mu Zhian.

Luotan was born as a furnace cauldron, and Mu Zhian was also born as a furnace cauldron. If the two of them performed a ritual of exchanging spiritual energy, after that, Mu Zhian would probably immediately comprehend the rhyme of the Tao.

Ordinary natural furnaces and cauldrons naturally cannot have such exaggerated auxiliary effects, but Luo Tan is in the Hedao realm, and has the body of a medicine fairy, and is born to be favored by natural materials and treasures.

The benefits of practicing dual cultivation with her will be tempting even for Hedao masters of the same realm.

And if a cultivator with a lower realm than Luo Tan is lucky enough to be favored by her... it is not an exaggeration to say that he can be reborn directly.

Under normal circumstances, when Mu Zhian just comprehends the rhyme of Tao, the probability of success is the highest.

In other words, if he can wait until he refines the Jiuding Lianxu Pill and then perform the spiritual energy exchange ceremony with Luo Tan... Mu Zhian's success rate in the realm of enlightenment can be increased by another 10 to 20%.

It is no wonder that the princess thinks Luo Tan is a little anxious at this moment.

"What does your highness mean?" The maid asked softly.

"Nothing, you can leave first, I want to go out and relax alone." The princess said.

The night wind was mixed with a little chill, blowing her dress to the wind, outlining the sexy and plump curves of the wife.

The princess walked along the garden of the palace, strolling along the way, but suddenly found that she had come to a palace without knowing when.

Last night, she was in this bedroom, and was...

However, it was purely a misunderstanding caused by her disguise as Luo Tan.

Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, the person with Mu Zhian is Luo Tan.

When she thought of this, she recalled the spiritual energy of the heaven and the gentle kiss of the boy she had felt before... The princess' heart inexplicably became a little more complicated.

"His Majesty has ordered that no one is allowed to enter tonight, so please go back."

Just as she was about to enter the bedroom, a guard's respectful voice came from the door of the palace, stopping the princess outside.

The princess raised her eyebrows slightly: "Didn't she tell you that I don't need to be stopped from going anywhere I want?"

The guard showed an embarrassed look and said: "Her Majesty did say that, but she also said that no one can enter tonight..."

The princess nodded: "Well, then I won't disturb her tonight..."

She paused and continued: "Just pretend that I haven't been here tonight, understand?"

Although her beautiful eyes were still gentle, her words seemed to reveal a bit of majesty that could not be disobeyed.

The guard's heart trembled and said: "Yes."

The princess turned and left the bedroom.

Then in the next moment, the figure disappeared from the guard's sight like a ghost.

Not long after, the woman appeared in the bedroom.

The princess was a gentle woman and would not make things difficult for a guard. After all, the other party had his own difficulties.

But there was no place she couldn't go.

The bedroom was quiet, and no sound could be heard.

At this time in the past, servants should be seen in the bedroom, but tonight there was not a single person.

At this time, the princess seemed to hear a sweet and seductive voice in her ear. She followed the direction of the voice, shielded her own breath and approached the bedroom door in front of her.

For some reason, although she was not the person involved, the princess felt her heartbeat speed up involuntarily.

She subconsciously held her breath and looked through the crack in the door.

"Your Majesty, according to what you said just now, as long as the mind is focused enough, even an alchemist close to the third grade can make a third-grade to fourth-grade pill?" Mu Zhian's voice came from inside the house.

The princess was stunned for a moment because she did not see the scene she imagined.

Because at this moment, Mu Zhian was sitting on a square table, holding a book on elixirs in his hand and asking Luo Tan for advice.

And the empress was sitting opposite Mu Zhian, teaching him carefully.

They were not... but simply talking about alchemy?

But if so, what was the matter with the rich spiritual energy above the bedroom just now...?

At this moment, countless question marks seemed to appear on the head of the princess, and the charming face under the veil was full of incredible.

Obviously, the spiritual energy of the natural furnace was filling the entire bedroom, and it seemed that the shadows of nine fox tails were quietly blooming in the room, as if there was infinite charm.

But they didn't seem to be doing some intimate actions...

What was going on?

The princess looked at this harmonious scene in the room, her eyes flickered slightly, and she was a little confused for a while.

The spiritual energy of the heavenly court was filled between heaven and earth... These spiritual energy of the heavenly court was countless times richer than the small pill refined by Mu Zhian.

If she could completely absorb the spiritual energy of the heavenly palace, she might be able to reach the threshold of the realm of Yuhua... The princess couldn't help but have this absurd thought in her mind.

At this time, Luo Tan in the room seemed to have noticed something strange outside the door. Her hair was lazily scattered, and she raised her eyes and stared casually.

The two besties stared at each other. Luo Tan's eyes were filled with a hint of surprise. Soon, she smiled and said, "Why didn't you let anyone know when you came? It just so happens that my discussion with him is almost over. Come in and tell me what you want to say."

The princess collected her thoughts and her voice was gentle and pleasant: "Since Mr. Mu is here tonight, I'll come to bother you tomorrow. I originally came to see you tonight just to play a game of chess with you."

"Okay, then I'll find you tomorrow." Luo Tan smiled slightly.

After taking a last look at Mu Zhian, the princess turned and left the bedroom. The original entanglement in her heart finally disappeared at this moment.

Originally, she came to the bedroom tonight just to simply want to know whether her best friend was going to be intimate with Mu Zhian, the natural furnace cauldron, tonight... But the scene in the room at this moment has proved that she was just worrying too much.

However, if the princess could completely open the door of the bedroom at this moment, she would actually be able to see a completely different scene.

For example, the alchemy empress sitting opposite Mu Zhian, at this moment, a snow-white jade boot under the table was resting on Mu Zhian's leg as if nothing had happened.

Even Mu Zhian, who had experienced many ups and downs, was almost shocked by Luo Tan's operation. He didn't speak just now not because he didn't say anything, but because he was winking at Luo Tan.

However, Luo Tan just held his fragrant cheek with his hand, staring at Mu Zhian with charming eyes, explaining the key points of alchemy to Mu Zhian in an elegant and indifferent tone, rubbing the jade boots on his legs, and at the same time, chatting with his bestie in a relaxed manner... He even planned to invite her in to play chess with him.

It was not until this moment that Mu Zhian understood why the Hedao Realm was the Hedao Realm... This mentality was not something that ordinary people could have.

...

"Aren't you worried that she would really come in?"

After hearing the footsteps gradually disappear, Mu Zhian looked at Luo Tan who was sitting opposite him and said helplessly.

"I'm not worried, what are you worried about?"

Luo Tan smiled brightly, playing with a strand of hair, and said calmly: "Besides, nothing happened between you and me tonight... Even if she came in, she wouldn't say anything."

Mu Zhian thought that it would be fine for the princess to come in, but as soon as she entered the room, she saw you stepping on the Lord of Heaven... Wouldn't I die on the spot in the future?

Fortunately, the results were all good.

"The princess shouldn't come again later, don't you plan to sit for a while?"

Luo Tan looked at Mu Zhian who had already stood up and was about to leave, and couldn't help asking softly.

"According to what you said just now, we need to wait until the Jiuding Lianxu Pill is refined before conducting the spiritual energy exchange ceremony, so that I can maximize the benefits... Then why am I still staying here?" Mu Zhian asked lazily.

Luo Tan tilted his head slightly, his tone elegant and charming: "As you said before, there is more than one way to exchange spiritual energy, right?"

She took off one of the snow-white jade boots, and the skin color of her tender white feet seemed to be faintly revealed. She held her cheek with her hand and looked at Mu Zhian with a smile: "Of course, if you want to go back and concentrate on practicing, I can't stop you."

"What do you want to choose~"

...

In a blink of an eye, three days passed unknowingly.

In the past three days, in addition to going to the bedroom to ask Luo Tan for alchemy every night, Mu Zhian spent more time practicing in his own villa.

At this time, in a courtyard of the palace, Luo Tan was sitting under the pavilion sipping tea and twisting a chess piece in his hand.

The sexy princess sat opposite her, her beautiful eyes quietly staring at the chessboard, as if thinking about the chess game.

"Given the character of the Great Peng Emperor, I'm afraid he will come to you in less than seven days. How do you plan to answer him then?" The princess suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

"The All Things Transformation Cauldron is a sacred object of Yuzhou. No one can take it out of Yuzhou... I will naturally answer him truthfully."

"As for offending the Great Peng Emperor... it doesn't matter. After all, he probably knows that it is unrealistic to borrow the All Things Transformation Cauldron, so he didn't have any expectations at the beginning."

Luo Tan dropped a white piece, took the black pieces that were surrounded by it aside, and looked at the princess with a smile: "But you, don't you want to persuade me on his behalf?"

"If you are the one who speaks up, I will seriously consider it."

The princess shook her head slowly: "Let's not talk about whether the Great Peng Emperor can really refine immortal medicine by borrowing the All Things Transformation Cauldron. Even if he can, it has nothing to do with me."

She paused and asked casually: "If Mu Zhian asks you to borrow the cauldron, will you lend it to him?"

"No." Luo Tan answered very straightforwardly.

"But I will help him refine the medicine." She continued to add.

"Because he is your underground lover?" The princess emphasized the word "lover".

Luo Tan smiled but said nothing.

"The Green Emperor may be back in a day or two. You have to restrain yourself when that time comes." The princess did not forget to remind her best friend.

It's okay to secretly get intimate with the Taoist partner of the Green Emperor, but at least you should know how to restrain yourself... You should know how to wipe your mouth even if you eat cake secretly. Mu Zhian has been in Luo Tan's bedroom almost every night these two days. Although she didn't see it with her own eyes, she didn't believe that the two of them were just chatting and playing chess.

"Don't worry, I know my limits. Besides, the Green Emperor went to the Southern Wilderness this time for the medicinal materials for the Jiuding Refining Void Pill. When the time comes, I will need to refine this pill."

Luo Tan chuckled and saw the maid walking into the courtyard and asked, "Is Mu Zhian here?"

The maid nodded slightly: "Your Majesty, do you want to invite Master Mu in?"

"Let him in, I just have something to say to him." Luo Tan said.

Seeing this, the princess put down the chess piece in her hand and was about to leave the courtyard.

"If you don't mind, you can stay too, at least finish the game between you and me." Luo Tan said with a smile.

"After all, you will be going back in a day or two, right?"

The rulers of Yunzhou are the princess and the Great Peng Emperor. Although they have the means of clones, it is more convenient to have the real body in case of emergencies.

"You and Mu Zhian may have something to talk about. Am I not here just to make things difficult for you?" The princess rolled her eyes at Luo Tan.

She is indeed a beauty. Even such a look is very charming.

"I don't mind, and I think he won't mind either."

Luo Tan looked up at the young man who walked into the courtyard and smiled, "Right, Mu Zhian?"

"This is Yuzhou after all. If His Majesty doesn't mind, how could I mind?"

In front of the courtyard in the distance, Mu Zhian was walking in with a maid, showing a bright smile: "Besides, His Majesty trusts Her Royal Highness the Princess so much, so I naturally trust her too."

There was a hint of shyness in the gentle eyes of the Princess, but her tone remained gentle and calm as usual: "After all, I am a cultivator from Yunzhou. The Green Emperor has always been at odds with Yunzhou. Aren't you worried that she will be angry when she knows it?"

Mu Zhian walked to the front of the courtyard and sat opposite her at Luo Tan's signal. He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Sister Green Emperor knows right from wrong. Even if she knows what I said today, she won't be angry. Maybe she will be very relieved."

The Princess glanced at Mu Zhian, but didn't say anything this time.

She wanted to say that if your sister Qingdi knew that we were intimate together one night in the palace last time, she would probably not be relieved, right?

But considering that Luo Tan was also here, and because of her own shame, she finally held back.

The three chatted for a while under the pavilion. Mu Zhian sat aside and watched the two people playing chess. From time to time, he pointed at the princess, causing the woman to roll her eyes speechlessly.

At this moment, a certain space in the courtyard suddenly twisted.

Luo Tan did not raise his eyelids and smiled lightly: "It seems that although you and him are not husband and wife, you really know Dapenghuang well."

In the twisted space, it seemed that a huge figure of a man was faintly seen descending.

The princess twisted the black seed in one hand and said lazily: "After getting a fairy medicine, ordinary cultivators will try every means to refine it into a fairy medicine, not to mention Dapeng Huang, who has been pursuing immortality all his life."

Accompanied by a man's hearty laughter, a man in black and gold armor walked out of the space crack and said: "What a coincidence, I didn't expect that my beloved concubine and Medicine Emperor were both here today."

Dapeng Huang walked in the quiet courtyard, his eyes swept from Luo Tan and his beloved concubine one by one, and then his eyes suddenly solidified on Mu Zhian, and his brows could not help but frown.

Why is this little cultivator here...?

Thinking about it, but he has important things to do today, and he doesn't want to pay attention to Mu Zhian. He looked at Luo Tan and said: "Medicine Emperor, can you talk to me for a moment?"

Luo Tan and the princess looked at each other inconspicuously, and everything seemed to be self-evident.

It seems that Dapeng Huang came today for the matter of the All Things Transformation Cauldron.

"Then please ask Emperor Dapeng to go with the attendants to Daochu Palace to discuss business."

Luo Tan smiled slightly and looked at the princess: "Let's finish this game of chess when we come back."

After that, she stepped on her snow-white boots, took a step, and disappeared in the courtyard.

Emperor Dapeng nodded and said: "My beloved concubine, after I come back, you and I will go back to Yunzhou together today."

The princess smiled gently: "I want to stay for two more days, you don't have to wait for me, please go back first when the time comes."

Emperor Dapeng couldn't help but frowned. This fiancée didn't give him face in front of outsiders, which naturally made him feel a little unhappy.

"Okay, but my beloved concubine, be careful, don't be deceived by some people."

He snorted coldly and glanced at Mu Zhian with sharp eyes, looking down on him as if he was looking at an ant.

After this glance, Dapeng Emperor turned around and followed the attendants and Luo Tan out of the courtyard to discuss business.

And Dapeng Emperor's casual glance came like a tsunami, as if to suppress people's spiritual consciousness to collapse.

He was not worried that Mu Zhian would complain to Qingdi afterwards.

If he had to complain to Qingdi for such a small matter and asked her to come forward, how would Qingdi look at his Taoist partner?

Also, is there any evidence to prove that he attacked Mu Zhian today?

Nothing can be proved.

He just wanted to give this little cultivator a warning and lesson.

Mu Zhian raised his eyelids slightly, his eyes were deep and calm, and he did not resist at all, but let the pressure brought by that look attack him.

Boom...

The casual glance of the great master of Hedao made Mu Zhian's body tremble slightly, as if his spirit platform almost collapsed.

He subconsciously grabbed the princess's arm, and the woman frowned slightly, wanting to scold him.

But when she saw Mu Zhian's pale face, she immediately realized something, her face changed slightly, and she immediately raised her hand to cast a barrier, isolating everything from the outside world.

The mature and sexy beauty sat under the pavilion, her beautiful eyes were gentle, and her temperament was even more charming like a married woman, but at this moment, she was angry deep in her eyes.

The Great Peng Emperor dared to put pressure on Mu Zhian in front of her. Did he not take her seriously at all?

"Why didn't you tell me just now?" asked the princess.

Mu Zhian raised his eyes slightly, glanced at the gorgeous beauty, and forced a smile: "I'm fine... It's all my fault. I should have left when I saw Dapeng Emperor just now. I shouldn't have been so close to you, which caused Dapeng Emperor to misunderstand."

The princess' eyes flickered. Although this child occasionally acted out of character, at least he knew how to consider the overall situation and others. He didn't take advantage of the Qing Emperor's favor to be arrogant. This alone was much better than his peers.

Usually, if you have a Taoist partner in the Yuhua realm, you won't be arrogant, but at least you will be a little arrogant.

But you can't see any such arrogance in Mu Zhian. Instead, he always considers others.

"You are good in every way except that you are too kind. You have been threatened by the Great Peng Emperor to this point, and you still want to speak for him?"

"Let alone what will happen if the Green Emperor comes back and knows about this, not to mention that you are also someone I protect, and he didn't take my thoughts into consideration at all."

The princess frowned slightly, thinking that Mu Zhian's character was too gentle.

Mu Zhian smiled helplessly: "The Great Peng Emperor is busy with all kinds of things, so it is inevitable that he is more anxious. It is understandable that he would attack the younger generation, and if you have a conflict with the Great Peng Emperor because of Mu's affairs, then Mu will feel guilty."

"For the sake of Yunzhou, please don't blame him."

It's not that he is succumbing to the Great Peng Emperor, but that he is considering Yunzhou and her.

The princess was slightly moved when she heard this, and her tone became much gentler: "Next time you encounter such a thing, don't bear it alone, at least let me know."

Mu Zhian was stunned, raised his head, and looked at the princess's face.

"...What's wrong?" The princess seemed a little uncomfortable being stared at, and she subconsciously turned her eyes away.

"Nothing, I just think that sister princess is really good to me." Mu Zhian smiled gently, and subconsciously held the delicate hand of the mature and beautiful wife.

The beautiful face of the princess under the veil was stained with a touch of red. Her beautiful eyes were dazed at first, and then she woke up quickly and subconsciously withdrew her hand.

"Mr. Mu, please respect yourself!"

Mu Zhian was stunned, and smiled bitterly helplessly: "Sorry, I was rude just now. Sister protected me before, and I felt very safe staying with sister, so I accidentally..."

He paused, held the princess's slender jade-like hand tightly, and whispered: "I'm sorry."

This time, the princess rarely scolded again.

Dapeng Emperor is her fiancé after all. Since it is her fiancé's fault, it seems that she should comfort Mu Zhian... It seems that it is not a bad idea.

"What's wrong? It's very impolite to keep staring at someone's face."

At this time, the princess suddenly felt a pair of burning eyes staring at her, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Mu Zhian stared at the princess, shook his head and smiled: "Nothing, I just suddenly became curious about how beautiful my sister is. If I wait until the end of this trip to Yunzhou and still haven't seen my sister's appearance, it would be too regrettable."

As he said, he raised his head and stared at the princess: "Can I take off the veil and take a look?"

The princess did not say anything.

After a moment of silence, Mu Zhian raised a hand and stretched it to the princess's pretty face.

Then, he gently took off the veil.
