It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists
Chapter 545: Does a Hussy Deserve to Touch My Man? p1

The Forbidden Lands. These forbidden existences predated even the Dao Integration of most of the Nine Provinces’ great powers, and their names were rarely spoken aloud by cultivators, lest they invite trouble.

The reverence with which Eastern Continent cultivators spoke of the Forbidden Zone spoke volumes about the weight the word “forbidden” carried in the Nine Provinces.

And this time, even the Forbidden Lands themselves had been alerted to Ye Lingxuan’s coronation ceremony.

Although the masters of these Forbidden Lands hadn’t come personally, their presence was enough to awe many cultivators.

After all, such beings were rarely seen, yet this time, they might witness several Forbidden Zone Lords.

Deep within the Eastern Continent’s Forbidden Zone, on the Grand Elder’s island.

Atop the main peak, streaks of light pierced through the sky.

Besides the Ancient Families of the Eastern Continent, there were also representatives from all over the Nine Provinces who had arrived today, including Peak Master Yu Xuanji from the Two Polarities Sect’s Dao Peak.

She was here as Ye Lingxuan’s master.

This Dao Peak Master wore Tai Chi robes and a lotus crown. A bright red vermilion dot adorned her forehead, making her look both elegant and alluring.

After the rules of heaven and earth were rewritten, Yu Xuanji had already reached Soul Transformation. Coupled with the Dao Peak’s Principles of Nature, even a sage at the peak of Soul Transformation couldn’t easily defeat her.

A terrifying aura filled the air, faint runes flickering as if wanting to rewrite the very rules of heaven and earth.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that any one of these people present could cause a sensation in the outside world.

After all, most of them represented their respective families, and their presence at such an important coronation ceremony was enough to show their noble status.

Many powerful figures from across the Nine Provinces had also gathered near the main peak.

However, no one dared approach. They only observed from afar.

After resting for two days in the Garden of Heavenly Harmony, and not forgetting to make some snacks for a certain foodie, Mu Zhian returned to the Forbidden Zone with Bai Ruoxi.

Mu Zhian arrived at the main peak. His figure was tall and straight, dressed in a white robe embroidered with gold and silver threads, his eyes gentle. He seemed out of place among the powerful figures here, like a naive young master who had wandered in by mistake.

However, the moment he appeared, many female cultivators near the main peak couldn’t help but glance at him, an unusual glint in their eyes.

It had to be said, the young man chosen by their young lady was truly handsome.

Although he was the young lady’s Dao Companion, there was no rule in the Nine Provinces stating that a cultivator could only have one…

Not long ago, the clan members still saw Mu Zhian as a ‘pretty boy’, but now, their opinion of him had quietly changed.

Now that the Forbidden Zone clan members knew about the Innate Celestial Furnace, and Mu Zhian was unlike any other chosen one they had seen before, not exuding that cold and aloof aura, many young women naturally had bold thoughts.

Many of them shared the same thought: This young man is very handsome, I want him.

However, they all felt somewhat regretful. Because of Ye Lingxuan, Mu Zhian probably wouldn’t be interested in them.

Mu Zhian also felt somewhat regretful.

If this weren’t the Forbidden Zone, and these girls weren’t Sister Lingxuan’s clan members, he felt like he could throw a party.

The Forbidden Zone’s bloodline was incredibly noble, and their descendants were all beautiful, although not as captivating and pure as Ye Lingxuan, they were still quite stunning.

At this moment, besides these Forbidden Zone girls, many female disciples from the Jade Pool Holy Land were also secretly eyeing Mu Zhian.

The arrival of the Jade Pool Holy Land was quite eye-catching, attracting the attention of many since their arrival.

And the one who instantly became the center of attention was naturally the fairy in the green dress.

A soft, white mist shrouded her, obscuring her face, but this very mystery sparked endless imagination.

After giving some instructions to the Jade Pool Holy Maiden, she was invited by the Forbidden Zone Lord and seated on a high platform in the distance.

She was like a goddess who took pity on all beings. Although her gaze was gentle, no one dared meet her eyes, afraid of disrespecting the Jade Empress.

A Transcendence Realm Human Emperor, even a malicious thought towards her could be easily sensed.

Although this Jade Empress seemed ethereal and gentle now, on the day of her Transcendence in the Jade Pool Ancestral Land, she was a ruthless figure who slew several great powers.

Perhaps most cultivators in the Nine Provinces thought Mu Zhian and the Jade Empress were married, but the ancient families, sects, and even the Hundred Schools of the Nine Provinces present all knew that such an existence as the Jade Empress wouldn’t truly marry a little cultivator.

Although they didn’t know the specific agreement between Mu Zhian and the Jade Empress, almost no one here believed they were truly married.

A Transcendence Realm Human Emperor, even without actively exerting her pressure, couldn’t possibly be looked at directly by a little cultivator.

Even if this little cultivator had reached Soul Transformation, the gap between him and Transcendence was still like heaven and earth.

Could such two people be married?

If they were truly married, and entered the bridal chamber, this little cultivator probably wouldn’t even dare touch the Jade Empress’s hand.

If they really did consummate their marriage, it would definitely be the Jade Empress taking the lead.

This was the common opinion among many ancient factions.

But the possibility of them consummating their marriage was practically zero.

No one thought that a powerful figure like the Jade Empress would be intimate with a little cultivator.

Such a scene was unimaginable, let alone the Jade Empress taking the initiative.

Besides the Jade Empress, the Sword Palace Master, who had just arrived at the Forbidden Zone, was also on the high platform.

Compared to the Jade Empress’s gentle aura, Gong Lianyue was clearly more assertive. Even if she deliberately restrained herself, an oppressive pressure still emanated from her.

This was because the ‘Sword Intent’ she nurtured was too powerful.

A sword, once unsheathed, revealed its sharp edge. Even if she restrained her aura, the pressure still made the cultivators near the platform struggle to breathe.

Now that the ancient formations in the Sword Palace had been activated, some young disciples who had sealed themselves within reappeared. They were all geniuses from past eras, choosing to be reborn in this life after Gong Lianyue’s reincarnation.

However, the Sword Palace had always been reclusive. No one expected the Forbidden Zone Lord to have such influence, even inviting the Sword Emperor.

Besides them, several other great powers had also gathered on the high platform.

The Great Peng Emperor and Princess of Cloud Province, even the King of the Northern Frontier, whom Mu Zhian had never met before, and the master of the Underworld.

Ye Lingxuan also sat on the high platform. Compared to usual, her attire today was undoubtedly more magnificent and captivating. Her purple dress was adorned with countless sparkling spirit stones and embroidered with star patterns, faint runes seemingly intertwining behind her.

Mu Zhian didn’t approach the platform. After all, he was currently just a disciple of the Two Polarities Sect and naturally wasn’t suitable to sit there.

He simply admired his wives’ beauty from outside the main peak.

Sister Lingxuan is so beautiful… Even Mu Zhian’s gaze, sweeping past Ye Lingxuan, couldn’t help but linger.

Since inheriting the Forbidden Zone’s rule power, not only her strength, but even her physique seemed to have matured.

She looked taller, her long, flowing hair cascading down, a magnificent crown adorning her head, her snow-white skin even more captivating under the shimmering light of the spirit stones.

Her perfectly tailored dress reached down to her calves, a lace ribbon trailing behind her, elegant yet also carrying a girlish charm. And what attracted Mu Zhian the most were her jade-white feet in deerskin boots, with white ankle socks inside…

Of course, it wasn’t that Mu Zhian had a particular fetish, it was just that Ye Lingxuan’s attire today happened to appeal to him.

Ye Lingxuan seemed to sense Mu Zhian’s gaze and shyly glanced at him. Then, as if remembering something amusing, a beautiful smile appeared on her lips, and she winked playfully at him.

“Is Brother Mu thinking about doing something naughty again?” the young woman’s crisp and pleasant voice suddenly echoed in Mu Zhian’s mind.

“On such an important occasion, how could I possibly be thinking about such things?” Mu Zhian gently shook his head, replying via voice transmission.

Although he said that, he continued admiring the young woman’s slender figure from outside the main peak.

Ye Lingxuan was silent for a moment, then a charming smile appeared on her face, her voice soft and seductive, “Brother Mu really isn’t thinking about doing anything naughty?”

Mu Zhian nodded, “Naturally—”

Before he could finish, a moist glint appeared in the young woman’s alluring eyes. The corners of her lips curved upwards, and she transmitted her voice, “Then, Brother Mu… are you thinking about doing something naughty?”

A young woman of only sixteen or seventeen years old suddenly saying such a thing on such an important occasion was like a jolt to Mu Zhian’s senses, making his heart race.

At this moment, Ye Lingxuan’s temperament seemed to change completely, her alluring eyes filled with a playful spring spirit as she looked directly at the young man through the crowd, her rosy and full lips slightly parted, inexplicably seductive.

Although they weren’t far apart, today’s occasion wasn’t suitable for anything too outrageous.

But it was precisely this almost-but-not-quite feeling that made his heart itch.

Ye Lingxuan blinked. “Just kidding, Brother Mu wouldn’t really do anything naughty on such an important occasion, would you?”

Mu Zhian was indeed tempted. After all, there was still some time before the coronation ceremony. If he wanted to, he could indeed have Ye Lingxuan secretly leave the platform and meet him… But the risk was too great.

It would be thrilling, but with so many fish present today, if he was caught red-handed, it wouldn’t be a laughing matter.

Ye Lingxuan smiled charmingly and transmitted her voice again, “But after the coronation ceremony, Brother Mu can punish Lingxuan however you like~”

Did she secretly learn something from Yao Meng recently? Why is she so good at this now…? Mu Zhian thought, about to reply via voice transmission.

Just then, the Forbidden Zone’s rules seemed to tremble, emitting a piercing buzzing sound.

Then, an ominous aura faintly emanated from somewhere outside the main peak.

Many frowned inwardly, wondering who would dare act so brazenly in the Forbidden Zone.

Mu Zhian also looked towards the source of the ominous aura through the crowd.

“I wouldn’t have missed the Forbidden Zone Empress’s coronation ceremony, would I?”

A sweet and seductive voice echoed, making many men present feel a tingle.

But the cultivators here weren’t ordinary people. They quickly bit their tongues, using the pain to maintain their composure and resist her charm.

Then, everyone looked towards the source of the mysterious and ominous aura with unfriendly gazes.

However, the moment they saw the woman, their hostile expressions froze, their eyes widening slightly, staring intently.

Her skin was tanned, and she wore a tight-fitting dress that outlined her mature and sensual figure like a ripe peach. A thin veil covered her delicate face, and her beautiful eyes seemed to shimmer with moisture.

Both her attire and appearance exuded an exotic charm.

Many of the ancient elders who were about to scold her fell silent, their brows furrowing deeply.

Isis!

This name was unfamiliar to most cultivators in the Nine Provinces. Even they had only heard of it in ancient texts.

She was the master of the Immortal Forbidden Land. Although she seemed gentle and kind, she was an incredibly ruthless woman.

If entering the Eastern Continent’s Forbidden Zone still offered a chance of survival, then entering the Immortal Forbidden Land was practically a death sentence.

Although the Forbidden Zone Lord had extended invitations throughout the Nine Provinces, many believed that the Forbidden Lands wouldn’t actually emerge.

Because it had always been this way.

But with Isis’s appearance, the cultivators present realized that this time, the Forbidden Lands were truly planning something big!

Could it be that the Path to Immortality would appear in this era? Otherwise, why would the Forbidden Lands emerge one after another?
