It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists
Chapter 523: She Wants to Marry You! p2

In a certain bedchamber, a fairy in a green dress leaned against the soft couch, covered by a soft blanket, seemingly taking a nap.

The candlelight flickered softly, casting a warm glow on the woman’s beautiful face.

Just then, a shadow quietly slipped in through the window. Mu Zhian emerged from the shadows and quietly approached.

“Yao Meng?”

Mu Zhian deliberately lowered his voice, as if afraid of disturbing others.

There was no helping it. Mu Zhian was supposed to be in the Forbidden Zone prison, but Ye Lingxuan fished him out that day… She even specifically told him not to leave her room.

Of course, whether this suggestion was for his own good or for her to enjoy him alone was unknown.

“Do you still need to rest after reaching Transcendence Realm?”

Mu Zhian muttered, walked to Yao Meng’s side, half-squatted, and gently touched her face. There was no reaction.

Clearly, she wasn’t truly resting, but her spiritual sense wasn’t in this body.

Mu Zhian didn’t know where Yao Meng’s spiritual sense had gone. At this moment, he was admiring the fairy’s beauty, his eyes filled with wonder.

Although he had shared a bed with her countless times, this was the first time he carefully observed her like this.

It had to be said, Yao Meng’s beauty was truly stunning. Her small, full lips, her delicate nose, her long eyelashes, a touch of crimson at the corners of her eyes, all combined to form a pure yet alluring face.

Among the fish in Mu Zhian’s pond, she definitely ranked first in terms of looks alone.

“A fairy is truly a fairy, never gets old no matter how much you look,” Mu Zhian sighed inwardly, his gaze moving down from her delicate and flawless face. Her thin, green gauze dress glowed warmly in the candlelight, her snow-white jade feet bare, even the faint blue veins on her feet possessing a unique beauty.

Mu Zhian silently looked at the fairy, whose spiritual sense had gone somewhere unknown, and a bold thought suddenly arose in his mind.

However, just as he reached out and held Yao Meng’s fair foot, he suddenly saw her eyelashes flutter slightly, then she opened her eyes.

A hint of surprise appeared in her eyes, then quickly replaced by a playful smile, “What are you planning to do while Sister is away?”

“I just thought you were too tired recently, so I wanted to give you a foot massage,” Mu Zhian said calmly.

Yao Meng rolled her eyes at Mu Zhian. Sensing his burning gaze, a faint blush quickly appeared on her face. She tucked her feet under her dress, covering her alluring figure.

Yao Meng is truly high attack, low defense… Mu Zhian muttered inwardly, then spoke to ease the awkward atmosphere, “Where did you go just now?”

Yao Meng’s shyness gradually subsided, and she said calmly, “I went to the Heavenly Court to see the Demon Empress.”

“You and the Demon Empress both went to the Heavenly Court?” Mu Zhian was startled.

“Don’t worry, I just asked her some questions. However, she seems quite hostile towards me.”

Yao Meng seemed to see through Mu Zhian’s thoughts, her green eyes filled with a playful smile, “You’re truly popular. There were stories of the Three-Tailed Fox causing chaos in the Eastern Continent dynasties in the past. You’re a Nine-Tailed Fox, perhaps you really can dismantle the Demon Realm.”

Mu Zhian said helplessly, “The Demon Empress has her own plans, it’s not something a little cultivator like me can influence.”

“Oh? Is that so?”

Yao Meng hummed softly, caressed the young man’s face, and said faintly, “But judging from the current situation, she seems to take your words seriously.”

“Aren’t you curious why I went to see her, and what she told me?” Yao Meng suddenly asked.

Mu Zhian’s eyes flickered, “Did you go see her because of the Demon Empress’s Transcendence?”

“It has nothing to do with that,” Yao Meng gently shook her head, “I want to find out who your parents are and where they are now.”

She gazed into Mu Zhian’s eyes and said softly, “Do you remember your parents’ names?”

Mu Zhian fell silent.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought about who his parents were, but he had ‘subconsciously’ ignored this matter.

Or rather, someone had shielded destiny, making him subconsciously ignore such an important thing.

“Perhaps they’re still alive somewhere, living a new life,” Mu Zhian quickly shrugged and smiled casually.

He had no memories of his childhood, only vaguely remembering two blurry faces.

And most of the information about his parents came from the guest elder in his family.

But now it seemed that whether the stories Old Ren told about his parents were true remained to be seen.

“If you can’t remember, then don’t think about it. I’ll help you find out their identities.”

Yao Meng suddenly said softly, “If you’re sad, you can lean on Sister’s shoulder.”

Mu Zhian was stunned: “Are our roles reversed?”

Logically, shouldn’t it be the girl feeling sad because of something, then the boy offering his shoulder for her to lean on, and comforting her softly?

Why was it different with him?

However, Yao Meng had already gently pulled the young man into her embrace. His face touched her soft bosom, and he inhaled her faint fragrance, an inexplicably comforting scent.

The Jade Pool Holy Land’s Dao of Tranquility could influence others in various ways, even a simple embrace like this had such an effect.

“Actually, whether your parents exist in this world, or whether they care about you… you don’t need to worry too much about it.”

She lowered her head slightly, her red lips close to the young man’s ear, and whispered, “As long as I care about you, that’s enough.”

Her sweet breath, her slightly parted lips, the intimacy of their breathing, and her gentle words.

All of this brought an inexplicable sense of security, making Mu Zhian involuntarily close his eyes, savoring the fragrance emanating from her green dress, lingering around his nose.

After a while, Mu Zhian whispered, “Thank you.”

“Just words aren’t enough to express gratitude,” Yao Meng said with a smile.

Mu Zhian was stunned. Weren’t those Luo Tan’s words?

“You… were you eavesdropping earlier?” he asked subconsciously.

“I was just worried about your safety, so I happened to hear that sentence through the Green Lotus Ring,” Yao Meng gently stroked the young man’s hair and said seriously, “I don’t like prying into other people’s private lives.”

I don’t believe you! Mu Zhian complained wildly inwardly. He recalled that when Yao Meng was in his body, she also said she needed to slumber for a while.

And what happened?

She slumbered… alone.

Yao Meng casually changed the subject, “Aren’t you curious what the Demon Empress asked me after her Transcendence today?”

Mu Zhian stared at her, waiting for her answer.

“She plans to gradually reconcile the Demon Realm and the Eastern Continent, then form an alliance,” Yao Meng said.

Mu Zhian said, “Isn’t that a good thing? Cooperation between the two sides is mutually beneficial, just like Yu State and Cloud Province.”

“Yes, it is indeed mutually beneficial.”

A playful glint appeared in Yao Meng’s eyes. She tilted her head slightly and whispered, “But she said the hatred between the two sides can’t be resolved in a short time, so we need to do something to gradually ease the relationship.”

“She proposed a condition for this.”

“As long as the Demon Empress is sincere about forming an alliance, the condition she proposes shouldn’t be too outrageous,” Mu Zhian said.

“The condition isn’t too outrageous, at least not for most of the Ancient Families in the Eastern Continent,” Yao Meng said faintly.

Mu Zhian’s curiosity was piqued, “What does she want?”

Yao Meng silently gazed at the young man and said faintly, “She wants to marry you.”

Mu Zhian: “?”
