So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

That night, Luo Tan was leaning against the soft bed, combing the boy's hair leisurely.

"After returning to the peak of the void, both your furnace and energy are much stronger than before."

Luo Tan's tone was a little lazy, and he looked at the boy with a playful look, and continued: "By the way, the first time you perform the spiritual energy exchange ceremony with the natural furnace, you will get a lot of spiritual energy, and there will be an effect after that, but it will not be as exaggerated as the beginning."

"In other words, you and I can also complement each other from now on."

Mu Zhian came back to his senses and smiled: "It always feels too unreal. How could the Heavenly Dao allow two natural furnaces to bug each other like this."

Luo Tan smiled and said: "In the past, no one in Jiuzhou ever thought that I would practice dual cultivation with anyone. Even the Heavenly Dao could not predict the future, or even guess who I would choose in the end."

Mu Zhian was silent.

That's right, let alone the Heavenly Dao, in fact, he didn't expect Luo Tan to take the initiative to make this proposal at the beginning.

It's not that Mu Zhian has never thought about the operation of "credit mutual spiritual energy", but even if there are other natural furnace bodies in Jiuzhou, it is impossible to have such an effect as Luo Tan.

After all, she is the only natural furnace in the Hedao realm. If she is replaced by a lower-level natural furnace, it is impossible to have such a good effect.

And if Luo Tan is not willing, no one can force her to do anything.

"Huh? Do you have other lovers in the restricted area?"

At this time, Luo Tan suddenly noticed something and looked outside the hall in confusion.

Mu Zhian was also stunned.

I have so many lovers, which one are you talking about...

"Mr. Mu, are you okay?"

At this time, a voice came from outside the boudoir, and Mu Zhian realized the identity of the visitor.

"Lin Keyu, she is the daughter of the master of Xuanyin Hall. This time, it seems that she came to the restricted area alone to complete the assessment task of Xuanyin Hall." Mu Zhian explained in a voice transmission.

Then, he looked up and said, "Miss Lin, why are you here so late?"

Luo Tan looked at the boy with interest, and noticed that he seemed to be about to get out of bed, but suddenly one hand held his arm and prevented him from letting go.

Are all your XPs in the Hedao Realm so weird... or why not call it Niu Dao Realm in the future.

Mu Zhian naturally knew what Luo Tan was thinking at the moment, nothing more than stimulating thoughts such as immorality.

He was a little speechless in his heart, and gently pinched Luo Tan's soft waist.

"Hmm~"

The empress of Yuzhou subconsciously covered her mouth and almost made a sound, and immediately glared at the boy.

I wanted to tease the other party, but I didn't expect to be teased instead.

Even if it was her, she didn't want too many people to notice the relationship between her and Mu Zhian so quickly.

First, this lacks the pleasure of an underground relationship, and second... after all, she is the empress of Yuzhou. If it is rumored that she secretly got together with the Taoist partner of the Qing Emperor, it will always be embarrassing.

"Not long ago, the princess of the restricted area sent someone to tell you that you are fine, but I am still worried, so I came to see you. But it seems that Mr. Mu is fine now." Lin Keyu's voice was soft and weak, and she whispered.

"Thank you Miss Lin for your concern. I am fine now. Did the imperial guards make things difficult for you at that time?"

"They knew my identity, so they put me in the guest room... I was thinking about finding a way to rescue Mr. Mu, but it seems that the princess and Mr. Mu have a good relationship." Lin Keyu said.

But this time there was a hint of loss in her tone, which made people feel a little distressed.

Mu Zhian's heart softened when he heard this, and he was about to speak.

At this moment, Luo Tan suddenly made a surprised sound of "Huh", and whispered: "Xuan Yin body?"

"Your Majesty, have you also heard of Xuan Yin body?" Mu Zhian asked in a voice transmission.

Luo Tan hummed softly and said, "Alchemy emphasizes the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, with fire being the main Yang. Usually, those high-level natural treasures are difficult to smelt, so they need to be smelted with spiritual fire... But there is also a problem, that is, the temperature of the spiritual fire is difficult to control, and sometimes the medicinal materials are often burned out while being refined."

"So usually the temperature of the spiritual fire needs to be controlled artificially. A good cauldron is the key to alchemy, but controlling the temperature is also the top priority... The Xuanyin body is born with the most Yin constitution in the world, and the owner of this constitution can often control the temperature of the spiritual fire independently."

"This is a very suitable seedling for alchemy." Luo Tan's tone was a bit of sigh.

Mu Zhian heard the hidden meaning in Luo Tan's words, thought for a moment, and said: "Why don't you consider taking her as your apprentice?"

The Alchemy Queen rolled her eyes at the young man, and said charmingly: "Do you really think that Yuzhou is a shelter? You want to push everyone to me. Last time she was a guest official of your family, and this time you want to push your little lover to me."

She paused and continued: "But if she is willing, I am willing to make an exception and take her as my apprentice and let her stay in the Yuzhou Palace for a while."

"Does this mean that your majesty has also developed a heart of cherishing talent?" Mu Zhian couldn't help but laugh.

Luo Tan's fingertips lazily stroked the boy's face, his eyes full of affection: "Of course I have a heart of cherishing talent, but more importantly, it's because you are the one who asked."

She lifted the sheets, and the vast white light wrapped around her delicate body. The next moment, the luxurious and elegant white dress quietly wrapped around her sexy figure, and her long hair like a waterfall fell straight down, revealing a bit of lazy mess.

As expected of a rich lady, she even made this dress from some special top-grade silk. No wonder she always felt a faint fragrance... Maybe it was because of this dress.

Mu Zhian sighed in his heart: Sister, I don't want to work hard anymore.

"Mr. Mu, if you have anything to do, then I will go back first."

At this time, the girl's tone of loss came from outside the door, and then there was the sound of the footsteps of the reincarnation.

Mu Zhian glanced at Luo Tan, and under the woman's teasing eyes, he shouted to the door: "Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

...

After a while, Mu Zhian left the boudoir, and soon caught up with the sick girl who was about to leave.

"Mr. Mu, is there anything else?"

The girl turned her head and looked at him. Her voice was soft and fragile, without any arrogance that a young lady should have.

Her long and smooth hair was naturally scattered, and she was staring at him with a pair of beautiful eyes as clear as the sky.

The girl's appearance would remind people of an exquisitely crafted doll, petite and fragile.

If she were in modern times, she should be a high school student, but her petite body gave people the feeling of being weak just in junior high school.

This is the inconvenience that the Xuanyin body brings to the girl named Lin Keyu. Although she has the strongest physique in the world, even if she embarks on the road of cultivating immortals, she will still have a fever and cold like ordinary people, and this feeling of weakness accompanies her all the time.

Mu Zhian showed a gentle smile: "I'll take you back. You are weak and it's not convenient to go back alone."

The moonlight reflected on the girl's slightly pale and beautiful face, and the silver light added a bit of weakness to her.

Lin Keyu looked at Mu Zhian in surprise, then lowered her head and said "hmm".

The two of them strolled under the peach tree, the moonlight was hazy, and they were almost at the guest bedroom.

At this time, Mu Zhian suddenly said: "Miss Lin's physique has been like this since she was a child, so has your father ever said that there is any way to restore your physique?"

Lin Keyu shook her head gently: "Dad once said that the reincarnation water can make a person's physique complete an advancement, and maybe it can make the Xuanyin body complete the evolution... but there are also certain risks."

"Because the evolved Xuanyin body will evolve in a better direction, or will it become worse and worse... This is uncertain."

After all, the Xuanyin body is different from other physiques, and its negative effects are too obvious. If it evolves again... Will it become weaker, or will it evolve in a better direction?

No one can tell now.

"Yao Meng and the Empress of Yuzhou are old acquaintances. Miss Lin, are you interested in going to Yuzhou later? With the knowledge of Senior Yaohuang, he may be able to help you solve the problem of Xuanyin body." Mu Zhian suddenly said.

Lin Keyu looked at him silently and shook his head gently: "Forget it... If I go to ask Qingdi for help because of my affairs, I always feel a little embarrassed."

Mu Zhian smiled and said: "It's not a big deal. Just tell Yao Meng."

Lin Keyu couldn't help but chuckled when she heard it: "How long does Mr. Mu plan to keep it secret from me?"

"In fact, I know that Mr. Mu and Qingdi's wedding in Shengwang City was just to cover up the truth." She continued.

"When the Green Emperor ascended to heaven, she was bound to be watched by countless people. Only by using that grand wedding to confuse the eyes could she have a chance to ascend smoothly."

"So Master Mu sacrificed his innocence only for the sake of Senior Green Emperor's heavenly tribulation? My father also guessed so."

She seemed to have guessed right, but not completely right... Mu Zhian was silent for a while and said: "Senior Medicine Emperor is familiar with countless kinds of elixirs. Maybe he can refine elixirs that suppress your Xuanyin Qi in the future. She has always admired you and thinks you are a rare talent."

"If I go to Yuzhou, can I still see Master Mu?" Lin Keyu asked.

It is tempting to be able to ask the Medicine Emperor for advice on alchemy skills, but whether she can still see Mu Zhian in Yuzhou is the issue she cares most about.

Mu Zhian nodded and said, "In fact, I have been asking Senior Yaohuang for advice on alchemy skills during this period, and I will naturally go to Yuzhou later."

The girl smiled slightly and said softly, "Okay, let's go."

"But will Senior Yaohuang really agree? Will she be very strict?" She lowered her head slightly with some worry in her tone.

"Mr. Mu, I'm scared."

Mu Zhian couldn't help but reach out and rub the girl's head, and said softly, "Senior Yaohuang is a person who cherishes talent, so she won't treat you harshly."

Lin Keyu couldn't help but close her eyes slightly. Just as she thought before, the boy's palm was very warm, and there was a kind of magic that made people feel inexplicably at ease.

She raised her eyes to peek at Mu Zhian's expression, then took a small step closer and gently leaned her forehead on Mu Zhian's arms.

Mu Zhian was stunned for a moment, then naturally hugged the girl in his arms, lowered his head and stared at the sickly white face.

Slightly pale lips, soft body, and soft and slightly cool little hands. Among the girls Mu Zhian had known in the past, Lin Keyu's body was probably the weakest and most petite.

Mu Zhian stretched out his hand to hold the thin waist of the sickly and beautiful girl, and the girl let him hold her and leaned her forehead against his arms.

It seemed that under his comfort, the girl's originally uneasy heart gradually calmed down.

But when she inadvertently raised her eyes to look at the handsome face of the boy, a faint arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.

…

At this moment, Ye Lingxuan was on her way back to her boudoir.

She had even thought about how to stop the dispute between the Reincarnation Queen and Luo Tan in the future, fully demonstrating the calmness and composure of the "Master of the First Palace".

However, at this moment, she suddenly felt a figure appear beside her.

Reincarnation Queen.

Ye Lingxuan turned her head and said in surprise: "You... why are you here?"

When she said this, the girl soon realized it again and said: "Oh... I know, have you given up the idea of ​​​​attacking Brother Mu?"

"I told you a long time ago that Brother Mu is not someone who can be easily conquered-"

However, as soon as the voice fell, the Queen of Reincarnation looked at her young lady in confusion and said: "Mu Zhian has agreed to that condition, so there is no need for me to stay there."

Ye Lingxuan was stunned: "You mean..."

The Queen of Reincarnation continued: "He has promised to stay with the young lady and assist you until you successfully ascend to the position of Queen of the Forbidden Zone, so I left."

"Brother Mu agreed to stay?" Ye Lingxuan said with a hint of surprise and joy.

But soon, Ye Lingxuan realized that something was wrong: "Wait a minute... When you came out just now, didn't you meet the Medicine Emperor?"

The Queen of Reincarnation asked in confusion: "Medicine Emperor? She also came to see Mu Zhian?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she found that Ye Lingxuan's face had changed.

Then, she went to her boudoir without saying anything.

According to the girl's original plan, she should have let the Medicine Emperor disturb the Reincarnation Queen's good thing, so that the master and servant's bet would be her victory.

However... the Reincarnation Queen did not see the Medicine Emperor when she left!

The plan was completely disrupted.

The girl had just returned to her bedroom and happened to see Mu Zhian escorting Lin Keyu out of the bedroom. He noticed the girl's sight, looked up and smiled, "Sister Lingxuan, are you done with everything?"

"Yeah."

Ye Lingxuan nodded with mixed feelings, and then asked tentatively: "Brother Mu should be okay? Senior Medicine Emperor said that he had something important to ask you, so I asked someone to bring her here."

"It's okay... She just brought me the Lianxu Pill." Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled, but his heart was a little complicated.

I didn't expect Sister Lingxuan to have that kind of hobby... While thinking, he looked at the classical and elegant purple-dressed girl with strange eyes.

At this moment, Mu Zhian still thought that this innocent girl was a girl who liked to be cheated on...

"Did she leave?" Ye Lingxuan asked, who had no idea.

"She said she was going to say hello to your mother at the Tianxian Palace and was going to go back. After all, she had other things to deal with in Yuzhou tomorrow." Mu Zhian said.

"Senior Yaohuang is so busy." Ye Lingxuan was relieved when she heard it.

Since she is so busy, she shouldn't have the leisure to do anything with Brother Mu, right?

And this is her bedroom.

After relaxing, Ye Lingxuan's attention quickly fell on the pill in Mu Zhian's hand and asked, "When does Brother Mu plan to break through to the Enlightenment Realm?"

"If it's in the restricted area, it can save a lot of trouble."

After all, there are rules and restrictions in the restricted area. Even if the secret of the Tiansheng furnace is exposed later, the powerful people in Jiuzhou will only wait until Mu Zhian leaves the restricted area before taking action.

Mu Zhian thought for a moment and said, "The duration of the Jiuding Lianxu Pill is only seven days. After seven days, the medicinal effect will quickly fade. I can't wait for Senior Linglong to ascend to heaven. I will start tomorrow after a reorganization."

Ye Lingxuan hummed lightly and was about to continue speaking.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt the pink smoke coming from afar.

The smoke was as ethereal as clouds and smoke, but it was filled with the strongest and most violent breath.

"Huh? She actually did it?"

A woman's lazy and charming voice suddenly came from the bottom of Mu Zhian's heart, but there was a little more envy in the voice that was not usually there.

Nine-tailed Sky Fox.

"My queen, do you know where the movement just now came from?" Mu Zhian asked in his heart.

"Are you stupid? Who else in the world can have such a strong demonic aura except her?" The Nine-tailed Sky Fox lazily scolded.

Mu Zhian had long been accustomed to her way of speaking, and hesitantly asked: "You mean... the Queen of the Demon Realm? Has she come out of retreat?"

"If she just came out of retreat, there wouldn't be such a big commotion." The Nine-tailed Sky Fox said lightly.

Mu Zhian said to himself: "So, has she ascended to heaven?"

In the Nine Provinces, the more talented the cultivator is, the more difficult it is to practice, and in the demon world, almost every demon cultivator is stronger than a human cultivator in terms of physical body alone.

However, this is not completely without cost.

For example, the difficulty of thunder tribulation for demon cultivators is far greater than that of human cultivators.

Because of this, the population of the demon world has not increased.

Mu Zhian naturally believed that it was only a matter of time for the demon queen to ascend to the sky, but he didn't expect that she had successfully passed the tribulation so quickly.

On the other side, Ye Lingxuan also realized something. She looked through the forbidden area and looked thoughtfully at a certain direction in the demon world.

After a long time, she gently uttered three words: "... the realm of transformation."

It seems that the demon queen has really come out of the closed door.

...

On this day, even Dongzhou, which is separated by an ocean, seemed to be able to hear the cheers of the demons in the demon world of Beizhou, like a group of demons dancing wildly.

The ascension of the Qing Emperor was undoubtedly a huge blow to the demon world, which had always regarded Dongzhou as its mortal enemy.

Although they believed in the strength of the queen, they could not help but feel a shadow in their hearts.

But now, the queen has also ascended to the sky, and she has also devoured the power of the first generation of demon kings. Her strength is unfathomable!

Such cheers were almost everywhere in the demon world, even the palace of the demon world was filled with joy at this moment.

At this moment, the demon queen was leaning against the throne made of purple gold fairy iron, wearing a loose robe, and looking down at the people below the stage with narrow and long Danfeng beautiful eyes.

The thirteen seats of the demon world were standing respectfully below the stage, and not far from the thirteen seats, there was also a hunched back, looking ordinary old man.

The second person in the demon world, Longxu Ancient Emperor.

"Congratulations to your majesty for successfully ascending to the immortal realm. From now on, our demon world also has a human emperor in the immortal realm sitting in charge, and no longer needs to fear the power of Dongzhou. Maybe after this, we can settle the old and new grudges of the past together." A demon cultivator below the stage raised his hand and bowed, saying respectfully.

The Queen of the Demon Realm glanced with her beautiful eyes and said calmly: "The hatred between the Demon Realm and Dongzhou was caused by the first generation of the Demon King. Among the nine states, Yuzhou and Yunzhou have formed an alliance for mutual benefit. The Southern Wilderness has always been on good terms with the Western Regions, but the Demon Realm and Dongzhou have always been fighting each other and suffered countless losses."

"Do you really think that I alone can overthrow the entire Dongzhou?"

"Not to mention that woman Shang Yanfei, the Green Emperor and the Sword Emperor alone are already difficult enough. Do you want the entire demon world to be buried with you because of this stupid opinion?"

The woman's appearance is charming, and her voice is even more casual. However, with every word she said, the demon cultivator's heart became more fearful, until Finally, he knelt on the ground with a plop: "Your Majesty, spare me, Your Majesty, spare me!"

The Queen of the Demon Realm said lightly: "I don't want to hear similar remarks again."

The demon cultivator's back was already covered with cold sweat, and he lowered his head quickly: "Yes."

"But you are right about one thing. The past hatred has planted the seeds of hatred in the hearts of Dongzhou and the demon world, so it is far from enough to rely on time to resolve it."

The Queen of the Demon Realm looked around at everyone and said: "Do you have any way to understand each other with Dongzhou?"

The demon cultivators heard this and knew that this was an opportunity to show off in front of the Queen of the Demon Realm, and they expressed their opinions one by one.

"I think we can let it go, time is enough to heal all the scars."

"Can this be considered an opinion?" The fourth seat next to him shook his head and said, "Some scars will indeed be healed over time, but there is a feud between Dongzhou and the demon world, and this cannot be healed just by healing it."

The high-level officials of the demon world and Dongzhou are now tacitly aware of each other, and there are rarely any major conflicts, but the cultivators under Dongzhou and the demon world are still hostile to each other, which is not a scar that can be healed over time.

Just like just now in the main hall, there are still demon cultivators who speak up and covet Dongzhou.

However, the demon queen did not really want to ask for opinions. Dongzhou and the demon world are indeed feuds, but after the trade between the two sides is officially opened, the two sides will naturally be able to slowly resolve their past grievances after they have exchanges with each other.

The ruler of the demon world glanced at the first seat Shi Miaoyan who had never spoken.

Shi Miaoyan understood, raised her hands and bowed in tacit understanding, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, before the Dongzhou Dynasty was unified, there were often marriages between two countries, that is, the princess of the dynasty was married to a foreign country, or the princess of a foreign country married the prince of the dynasty, which made a lot of good stories. I think maybe we can consider it from this aspect..."

When these words came out, the eyes of several demon cultivators present all lit up: "Marriage is indeed a good method, but should the demon world marry over or the cultivators from Dongzhou marry over?"

"In addition, the candidate for marriage also needs to be considered."

Listening to the discussions of the crowd, the Queen of the Demon World looked thoughtful, and then asked casually: "Miaoyan, who do you think is more suitable for this marriage candidate in Dongzhou?"

Shi Miaoyan said respectfully: "Mu Zhian."

The discussion in the court suddenly became completely silent.
