It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists
Chapter 540: Aaaa! p1

“Sister?” Although Mu Zhian had a premonition when he heard the surname ‘Mu’, he was still stunned by Yuanluo’s answer.

“You’re saying she’s my sister? And you know my parents’ identities?”

Mu Zhian sat up on the bed and quickly put on his clothes… He just realized Yuanluo had stripped him while he was lying there.

Yuanluo raised a delicate eyebrow. “I know you’re anxious, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Let’s replenish your Innate Celestial Furnace first, then we can talk. You have work to do later.”

Normally, Mu Zhian would have immediately understood the implication in Yuanluo’s words, but his attention was completely captivated by the word ‘sister’.

Yuanluo gently pressed his shoulders, urging him back onto the bed. “I don’t actually know much about Mu Zhi. After all, I’ve never left the Heavenly Court, and this place has no contact with the outside world. I can only obtain some information through the Heavenly Dao when I descend upon the Nine Provinces.”

I get it, she’s like a remote village finally getting internet access… Mu Zhian understood.

Then he realized something else: Yuanluo seemed to be able to copy even the Nine Provinces’ Heavenly Dao.

“You’re the one who’s like a remote village getting internet access!”

Yuanluo, reading his mind, couldn’t help but scoff, rolling her eyes seductively. “I went through so much trouble to descend upon the Forbidden Zone and save you, and this is how you thank your benefactor?”

Mu Zhian suddenly thought, Could Yuanluo read minds because she ‘copied’ part of the Demon Empress’s personality and abilities?

If so, was her ability to switch between adorable and mature also copied from someone?

The Heavenly Dao of the Nine Provinces was the aggregate consciousness of all living beings, while the Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly Court seemed more like the aggregate consciousness of his wives.

Come to think of it, her silver hair, red eyes, and even her mature demeanor, weren’t they just like a certain Spirit Dragon who only thought about food and acted cute all day long?

Mu Zhian gradually calmed down, “You can obtain information about the Nine Provinces when you descend? So, you only learned about ‘Mu Zhi’ after coming to the Nine Provinces this time?”

Yuanluo nodded slightly. “To be precise, I obtained it from your Miss Heavenly Dao.”

“As long as it’s a woman connected to the Innate Celestial Furnace, whether she’s a Dao Integration Realm expert or a Transcendence Realm Human Emperor, I can gather information about her.”

“However, the Heavenly Dao’s will is a bit special. Even I can only gather information about her when I descend upon the Nine Provinces… After all, there’s that troublesome light sphere around.”

The light sphere she referred to should be the Heavenly Dao.

“Who exactly is Mu Zhi?” Mu Zhian asked.

Yuanluo’s playful demeanor vanished, and she said seriously, “According to the information from the Heavenly Dao’s will, her parentage is unknown… However, there’s other related information from the other Heavenly Dao wills. For example… Mu Zhi’s bloodline is somewhat similar to yours, meaning she should also be a member of the Mu family, but whether she’s your older sister or an ancestor is unknown.”

“Also, her forbidden object can only be used by those with the Mu Clan bloodline. And one more thing…”

She paused slightly, deliberately creating suspense.

Does this girl also enjoy mugwort (NTR)? Mu Zhian complained inwardly.

“This forbidden object in the Forbidden Land of Life once belonged to someone else,” Yuanluo said.

Mu Zhian subconsciously asked, “Who?”

Yuanluo smiled, “Someone you know, but you’ll never guess.”

“Shang Yanfei?” Mu Zhian asked almost without hesitation.

Yuanluo covered her mouth, her eyes widening in surprise, “How did you know? Logically, you shouldn’t be able to guess.”

Mu Zhian shrugged, “Deduction doesn’t require logic. If I’m wrong, then I’m wrong.”

Yuanluo narrowed her eyes, seeing through his thoughts, “Are you thinking you should have suppressed her more that day at Two Polarities Peak, to make up for being manipulated? You can actually go find her later, I don’t think she would refuse a dual cultivation invitation from a Transcendence Realm Innate Celestial Furnace.”

Mu Zhian covered his face, “You can see through me, but don’t say it out loud. If you keep reading my mind like this, you’ll lose all your friends.”

“Aren’t you my friend?”

Yuanluo walked up to him, a captivating smile blooming on her face, “I always treat my good friends well. I can help you with any problem.”

He could faintly feel Yuanluo’s warm breath close at hand.

But this time, Mu Zhian remained calm, looking away, and guessed, “So the Forbidden Land of Life could be one of the Sect Master’s backup plans?”

“So, Mu Zhi seeking me out could also be part of her plan?”

“I don’t know about that,” Yuanluo said with a smile, “But don’t completely trust that woman. After all, you don’t know her true intentions.”

Mu Zhian’s eyes flickered slightly, “You think that with the Heavenly Court’s power, I wouldn’t be able to stop her even if she had some ulterior motive?”

“I don’t know about that,” Yuanluo said frankly, “When I used the Heavenly Dao’s information to investigate earlier, I couldn’t find any information about Shang Yanfei. She shielded herself and is hidden from destiny.”

The immortal gold chains are to suppress the Sect Master’s emotions, also to seal her true self… and the purpose of doing so is just to avoid being detected by the Heavenly Dao?

Mu Zhian’s mind raced.

Just then, Yuanluo suddenly said, “Right, my power can now descend upon the Nine Provinces without any restrictions, so if you need anything, you can call me directly… I’ll merge with you and share my power.”

A sacred sun silently rose behind her, like a holy light, pure and beautiful.

“Compared to the Heavenly Court’s power, which has huge side effects after being used, I’m much more convenient, right?”

Yuanluo wrapped her arm around Mu Zhian’s, her breath warm against his ear, “After we deal with the Heavenly Dao in the future, I can even replace it and become the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Provinces. By then, no one in this world will be able to defy your orders, you will be the ruler of this world.”

Mu Zhian hummed in agreement, “I think you sound more like a villain than the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Provinces right now.”

Yuanluo leaned close to the young man’s ear and whispered, her breath warm and moist, “Have you ever seen such an adorable villain, big brother~?”

For a moment, even the young man, a veteran in the field of romance, felt his heart flutter.

However, when he turned his head, he saw the playful glint in Yuanluo’s eyes.

This little vixen… she really knows my XP inside and out.

Mu Zhian forced himself to calm down, placing his hands on Yuanluo’s shoulders and pushing her away, “Since you’re a non-romanceable character, stop trying to seduce me. If one day I really can’t resist and suppress you, you’ll be the one crying.”

The New Heavenly Dao looks so holy and inviolable, I didn’t expect her to be so hot… Mu Zhian sighed inwardly.

Then, he suddenly thought… Could this be because Yuanluo copied Yao Meng’s personality?

Wasn’t that Jade Empress Sister the epitome of pure and seductive?

“Huh… someone’s coming.”

Just then, Yuanluo suddenly said doubtfully.

Mu Zhian’s heart skipped a beat. His first reaction was to lie down and ‘feign unconsciousness’.

Yuanluo glanced at the young man on the bed with a sarcastic smile, slightly raising her proud chin, and said meaningfully, “You can run, but you can’t hide. You still have work to do after your Innate Celestial Furnace’s Spiritual Energy is replenished.”

As she spoke, she reached towards Mu Zhian’s chest with her small hand.

“What are you doing?” Mu Zhian abruptly opened his eyes.

Yuanluo said, slightly annoyed, “I’m helping you combine the three portions of Heavenly Dao Energy, can you not be so sensitive?”

Her hand passed through Mu Zhian’s chest like a phantom, pulling out three spheres of different colors.

Heavenly Dao Energy!

She kneaded the three spheres of Heavenly Dao Energy in her hands, shaping them into various forms, until finally, Yuanluo molded them into an adorable little white rabbit.

The little rabbit sphere burned with a fiery light, dazzling and captivating. As they merged, the entire Heavenly Court trembled slightly.

“What’s the use of this thing?” Mu Zhian asked subconsciously, staring at the sphere of Heavenly Dao Energy emitting a terrifying aura.

“You can use it however you want,” Yuanluo said with a smile. “Heavenly Dao Energy has infinite possibilities. As long as you use your imagination, it can fulfill any attack method you desire.”

Mu Zhian reached out and grabbed the sphere, and it silently entered his heart.

He raised his fingertip, and the milky white sphere transformed into golden chains, coiling around his body.

The Desolate Time Lock!

Mu Zhian clenched his hand, and when he opened it again, the sphere in his palm had transformed into a green lotus.

“Its power depends on the amount of Heavenly Dao Energy you possess. It can fulfill any attack method you can imagine,” Yuanluo knelt beside the bed and said with a smile, “See how hard I’m working for you? Shouldn’t you give me some kind of reward?”

Mu Zhian looked satisfied, gently stroking Yuanluo’s hair, “I’ll bring you two more clients next time.”

“How perfunctory,” Yuanluo rolled her eyes. “Alright, that person is almost here, I have to go now.”

Her figure vanished like a bubble.

Mu Zhian also reacted, immediately closing his eyes and actively shielding his senses.

This way, it would be difficult for anyone to easily tell if he was awake.

He faintly heard footsteps approaching.

Mu Zhian held his breath, feeling his heart pounding, his mind racing.

Who would enter the Heavenly Court at this time?

Logically, Yao Meng and the others should have seen him ‘unconscious’ earlier, they shouldn’t think his spiritual sense was in the Heavenly Court.

Mu Zhian wouldn’t have guessed that he had just been sold out by that Yuanluo.

His spiritual sense was in the Heavenly Court, but his body was still in the Forbidden Zone.

As soon as he left the Heavenly Court, his spiritual sense would immediately return to his body.

And then…

Of course, Mu Zhian didn’t know about these trivial matters now. He was just guessing who was entering the Heavenly Court.

Just then, he felt a ticklish, slightly moist, and soft touch on his cheek.

It felt like a clingy cat playing a prank on its sleeping owner.

Mu Zhian remained still. He wasn’t sure who had secretly entered the Heavenly Court, so he could only continue ‘feigning unconsciousness’ for now.

After all, his fishpond was currently on the verge of exploding, and he hadn’t figured out how to deal with it yet…
