It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists
Chapter 539: Ye Lingxuan, Forbidden Zone Empress Mode p2

…

Mu Zhian felt his consciousness sinking into endless darkness, like falling into the depths of the sea.

His first thought before losing consciousness was… Wow, Nai Xi (Bai Ruoxi’s nickname – Nai = Milk, breast) is really big.

Then, he felt a surge of Heavenly Court Spiritual Energy pouring into his body, invigorating every pore. His depleted Innate Celestial Furnace spun rapidly, absorbing the Heavenly Court’s Spiritual Energy.

“Ah~”

After some time, Mu Zhian subconsciously let out a moan of pure pleasure.

“Could you keep it down? Anyone who didn’t know better would think you’re being serviced by the New Heavenly Dao, not absorbing Spiritual Energy.”

Just then, a girl’s annoyed voice suddenly echoed beside his ear.

As if a bright light pierced through the darkness, Mu Zhian abruptly opened his eyes.

He was lying on a soft, feathery white bed in a hazy white space. He turned his head slightly and froze.

A silver-haired girl in a light-colored dress stood beside him. Silver threads were embroidered on the dress, a water-colored sash cinching her slender waist, the long skirt trailing on the ground. A pale water lily was embroidered on the sleeve, and the slightly open collar revealed her delicate collarbone and the ample curves of her bosom straining against the fabric.

Mu Zhian stared blankly for a long moment, “You are…?”

“I’m your beloved Heavenly Dao wife,” Yuanluo rolled her eyes at him. Although her tone was annoyed, an inexplicable charm laced her voice.

Almost forgot, this girl can be both adorable and mature… Mu Zhian hesitated, “Why did you suddenly take on this mature form?”

Yuanluo looked into his eyes, a hint of allure in her glass-like red eyes, “Don’t you like mature older sisters the most? The Jade Empress, Bai Ruoxi, even the Ye Clan ancestor and your maid are all older sisters. I went through so much trouble for your XP, shouldn’t you show some gratitude?”

Mu Zhian coughed lightly, “It’s not that I specifically like older sisters, it just so happens that the older sisters I’ve met all fit my preferences.”

Yuanluo placed a finger against her lips, a seductive smile playing on her lips. She leaned closer to the young man and said, “I know, that’s why I specifically transformed into a mature older sister that fits your preferences. Consider it a reward for suppressing the Heavenly Dao in the Nine Provinces recently.”

Mu Zhian was taken aback, “You’re not doing this because you’re afraid I’ll be seduced by the Heavenly Dao and abandon you for her, are you?”

The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.

Even the Heavenly Daos are competitive?

Yuanluo glanced at him and said calmly, “It’s not that serious, I’m not that insecure. It’s just that you’ve been constantly undermining the Heavenly Dao’s influence among cultivators and strengthening my power, so I wanted to give Big Brother a little reward~”

Mu Zhian was doubtful, “And the reward is letting me see your mature form?”

“Otherwise? Do you want me to reward you with something else right now?” Yuanluo sat on the white bed, her legs crossed, gazing into the young man’s eyes, a charming smile playing on her lips, “Like… letting the Heavenly Dao dual cultivate with you?”

Mu Zhian’s eyes widened slightly, and he hesitated, “Desecrating the Heavenly Dao… isn’t that a bit much?”

A seductive glint flickered in Yuanluo’s eyes. She licked her alluring red lips and said, “Tempted, aren’t you?”

Calm down, calm down… This isn’t even a ‘person’. One can’t, at least shouldn’t, be aroused by the Heavenly Dao…

However, just as Mu Zhian thought of this, Yuanluo cupped his face and gently kissed his lips.

A fleeting touch.

She winked playfully at Mu Zhian and smiled brightly, “No one will know anyway. As long as we don’t mind, it’s fine, right~?”

Unlike what Mu Zhian imagined, although she was the lofty New Heavenly Dao, her lips were still soft and supple, like jelly, tempting him to take a bite.

Her eyes were moist, her breath warm.

And those beautiful, breathtakingly alluring red eyes.

Sacred and inviolable… yet also carrying a captivating charm.

The New Heavenly Dao didn’t understand emotions, but as she matured, she could blend countless personalities together, creating a brand new persona.

Before Mu Zhian could recover, Yuanluo had already gracefully gotten off the bed, her hands behind her back. She turned and said seriously, “Just kidding. The Heavenly Dao cannot be desecrated. Hugging and cuddling is fine, but neither I nor the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Provinces can dual cultivate with others. It would disrupt the order of heaven and earth.”

“So don’t even think about it.”

So you’re a ‘non-romanceable character’ after all this?

Why flirt if you’re not going to marry me…? Mu Zhian complained inwardly.

As if sensing Mu Zhian’s thoughts, Yuanluo said seriously, “My appearance and personality are a blend of the Jade Empress, the Spirit Dragon, Bai Ruoxi, and Mu Zhi. If you really want to go further, you can try testing the others. Maybe you can really get them all together? Then you can have a… you know, a sandwich. You know what a sandwich is, right?”

Despite being the Heavenly Dao, she was unexpectedly talkative…

Mu Zhian nodded slightly, “Two slices of bread, then you add cream inside, and some other ingredients…”

Mu Zhian suddenly realized something was wrong, “How do you know all this? And can you stop reading my mind? I’m seriously going to get angry, Big Brother is serious.”

Even Mu Zhian couldn’t help but cover his face after realizing what Yuanluo meant.

This Heavenly Dao was hopeless, knowing so much.

Yuanluo’s eyes held a playful glint, “You mean a sandwich? Those are your own thoughts~”

Mu Zhian was speechless.

“Wait… Did you say Mu Zhi?”

Then, after savoring Yuanluo’s words, he hesitated, “Mu Zhi? Do you know the master of the Forbidden Land of Life?”

Yuanluo sat on a nearby chair, resting her cheek on her hand, and said with a smile, “Of course, I know Mu Zhi.”

“Actually, you should know her too.”

“After all, she’s your older sister.”

Mu Zhian’s mind went blank.

After a long while, he came back to his senses and murmured, “…Sister?”
