It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists
Chapter 561: Perfectly Orchestrated

After consulting Yan Ruyu, Mu Zhian naturally received a disdainful eye-roll from the Pavilion Master.

Or rather, her sense of shame wouldn’t allow her to accept such an absurd proposition.

Mu Zhian wasn’t surprised, just slightly disappointed… It would have been nice to add Pavilion Master Yan to tonight’s… activities.

After seeing Yan Ruyu off, Lin Ling, freshly bathed and changed, finally emerged.

“You look beautiful in that dress today,” Mu Zhian complimented sincerely.

Amidst the misty rain, Lin Ling, dressed in a beautiful white gown embroidered with a golden star and golden threads, stepped out of the room, her face radiating a pure and innocent beauty.

“She prepared it for me,” Lin Ling wrote in her little notebook, a happy smile on her face.

“One should dress formally and elegantly for Transcendence, to make it more memorable… That’s what she told me.” She continued writing.

A strange feeling stirred within Mu Zhian’s heart.

If surveillance technology existed in this era, Mu Zhian would suspect that the reclusive Sect Master had bugged him, knowing his every move and plan.

She had even gone so far as to have the sect prepare such a beautiful dress for Lin Ling… and it perfectly catered to his XP!

The dress itself wasn’t the issue, but the white gown Lin Ling wore was rather form-fitting, accentuating her graceful figure. Her ample bosom strained against the thin fabric, the outline of her breasts clearly visible beneath.

Mu Zhian had always felt more protective of Lin Ling… but her current attire and appearance held an undeniable allure, making his heart race.

“I thought the Spirit Dragon was going to run away when she went to bathe just now. She seemed so distracted,” a gentle and sweet voice suddenly came from behind them. A woman had appeared at some point.

She had removed her veil, revealing a gentle and charming face.

As Mu Zhian turned to look, the Princess happened to look up. Noticing his gaze, she pursed her rosy lips and shyly lowered her eyelids.

“What are you looking at… Let’s go inside first,” she said softly.

Is the Princess getting impatient…? Mu Zhian smirked inwardly, but he also knew that although this beautiful married woman had done things with Luo Tan before, this was her first time with Lin Ling.

Her shyness was probably through the roof.

Once inside, the Princess suddenly remembered something important. “I’ll use the Dao Comprehension Flower to connect with the Great Dao later, but I’m not sure if it will work for Lin Ling. You mustn’t do anything reckless. And also… if Lin Ling resonates with the Great Dao, the other Forbidden Zone Lords will definitely sense it. You have to be careful.”

Mu Zhian nodded slightly and smiled, “Don’t worry, I know my limits.”

Shang Yanfei undoubtedly knew about Lin Ling’s impending Transcendence. Having Lin Ling change into this dress, and the words she said to her, were to reassure Mu Zhian.

The underlying message was: Go ahead and have your fun, don’t worry about anything else.

Garden of Heavenly Harmony, bedchamber.

Although it was still daytime outside, dark clouds completely covered the sky. Inside the room, candles burned quietly, illuminating the beautiful faces of the two women.

The room was silent. Lin Ling seemed a bit uncomfortable, fiddling with the hem of her white dress, stealing glances at Mu Zhian.

On the soft couch not far away sat a breathtakingly beautiful woman, her legs curled beneath her. She wore a thin, white inner garment, the loose fabric concealing her alluring figure.

The Princess’s eyes were closed slightly, the Dao Comprehension Flower floating before her, a faint vibration occasionally emanating from it.

“Are you nervous?” Mu Zhian softly asked the silver-haired beauty beside him.

Lin Ling gently shook her head.

Then, her face flushed slightly, and she hid behind her notebook, “Your heart is telling me you’re planning something naughty.”

Lin Ling could easily sense others’ ‘malice’, so she naturally picked up on Mu Zhian’s thoughts.

“I’m not planning anything naughty, I just want you to transcend and be free from the Karmic Fire,” Mu Zhian said gently. “What we’re doing is serious business.”

Although he said that, Mu Zhian was indeed feeling a bit restless.

It couldn’t be helped… Being in the same room with beauties like the Princess and Lin Ling, and with what they were about to do… it was natural for him to have such thoughts.

Lin Ling glanced at him with a slightly hurt expression and silently turned her face away, ignoring him.

Although this was to help her, the Princess agreeing to such an absurd request meant that their relationship was also very close.

Just the thought made her uncomfortable.

“Are you sure about this?” Lin Ling wrote in her notebook.

Mu Zhian nodded gently, “It should be fine.”

If Mu Zhian was the cream, then the Princess and Lin Ling were the bread. Normally, the Princess couldn’t directly connect Lin Ling with the Great Dao.

So, they needed a medium.

Mu Zhian was that medium.

Let the two slices of bread sandwich the cream, and then… they could naturally connect with the Great Dao.

“Are you two ready?”

Just then, the Princess opened her eyes and asked, her gaze on Mu Zhian, a hint of shyness in her voice.

Mu Zhian didn’t speak, just held Lin Ling’s hand, led her to the soft couch, and held the Princess’s soft, small hand with his other hand.

“Sorry, I’ll have to trouble you,” he said gently.

Hearing this, the Princess gently poked Mu Zhian’s forehead with her delicate finger and said resentfully, “No matter what, don’t let Luo Tan find out about this, okay?”

If her best friend found out about this, she would definitely be teased mercilessly.

Mu Zhian grinned, “Don’t worry, this is our little secret.”

The Princess nodded with satisfaction, then asked, “I’ve already used the Dao Comprehension Flower to connect with the Great Dao, what should we do next…?”

“It’s simple, you lie down first…”

Mu Zhian first had the Princess lie face down on the soft couch, then, embracing Lin Ling’s soft and slender waist, looking at the girl’s flustered and blushing face, he said, “Lin Ling, come here…”

He instructed Lin Ling on what to do while skillfully locking the doors and windows with Spiritual Energy.

Mu Zhian turned and looked at the two beauties on the soft couch under the candlelight.

As their eyes met, Lin Ling shyly lowered her head, looking cute and innocent.

“My Lin Ling is so adorable…”

Mu Zhian chuckled, went to the couch, leaned down slightly, and under Lin Ling’s expectant gaze, captured her lips.

Mu Zhian was clearly experienced in this area. He didn’t neglect either Lin Ling or the Princess, but his actions were limited to kissing, not going any further.

At first, the Princess maintained a shy demeanor, but as time went on, she glanced at Mu Zhian several times, wanting to ask for something, but held back due to her pride.

She gave Mu Zhian a resentful look, seeing his teasing smile, naturally understanding he was waiting for her to ask.

Lin Ling gently tugged at Mu Zhian’s sleeve, shyly glancing at him, and whispered, “Aaa…”

“What is Lin Ling saying? I can’t understand you at all…” Mu Zhian said, feigning ignorance, looking at the blushing silver-haired beauty.

Finding an opportunity, Lin Ling wrote in her notebook: “Hurry up, this position is embarrassing.”

Her eyes shimmered with a moist and expectant light as she wrote.

Mu Zhian, feeling even more playful, asked, “Hurry up and do what?”

Lin Ling blushed, looked at Mu Zhian shyly, then opened her mouth slightly and said in the most innocent voice the most heart-pounding words:

“Mu Zhian will be completely captivated by me today, without rest.”

The smile on Mu Zhian’s face instantly froze.

…

The next morning, Mu Zhian woke up, glanced at the sky outside, and realized it was already late morning.

Lin Ling and the Princess had entered a meditative state at some point, their hair slightly disheveled, their auras languid.

However, anyone who approached could sense the terrifying aura surrounding them.

A faint, deafening rumbling seemed to echo from the void.

The resonance of the Great Dao!

“My mission is complete…”

Mu Zhian, holding his waist, looked at this scene, his heart filled with satisfaction.

Although he was a bit tired, at least his guess was correct. He could indeed act as a medium for Lin Ling to connect with the Great Dao.

Mu Zhian quietly left the room and was about to go to the courtyard to rest when he suddenly sensed a figure silently appearing beside him.

He turned towards the aura and saw a woman clad in immortal gold armor, floating in mid-air, her long hair cascading down, bathed in a dazzling golden light, like a deity, lofty and beyond reach.

It was Miss Heavenly Dao.

Mu Zhian was slightly surprised, “Why are you here? Didn’t we agree that you would come find me after I finished my business?”

The Heavenly Dao’s will said calmly and indifferently, “The Spirit Dragon has successfully connected with the Great Dao. I judged that Master’s task was complete, so I came to see you.”

“Or do you have something else you want to do after she resonated with the Great Dao? If so, I can come back in two days.”

Hearing this, Mu Zhian couldn’t help but shake his head, “No need… I’ve indeed finished my business here, I’m just a bit surprised you came to the Two Polarities Sect to find me.”

Miss Heavenly Dao was silent for a moment, “Honestly, I also regretted coming at first, but I just thought of something that might help Master control the other Heavenly Dao wills more easily.”

“Oh?”

Mu Zhian raised an eyebrow and asked, “Tell me about it.”

“You can bring the Heavenly Dao wills into the Two Polarities Sect,” Miss Heavenly Dao said.

“No, that would affect the other disciples in the sect.”

Mu Zhian immediately shook his head, rejecting her suggestion.

Miss Heavenly Dao glanced at Mu Zhian and said calmly, “I didn’t think this method was feasible either, but when I entered the Two Polarities Sect to find you just now, I realized I couldn’t use any of the rules of heaven and earth here.”

After she finished speaking, Mu Zhian’s face first held confusion, then, as if realizing something, his lips moved slightly as he stared at the woman before him in astonishment.

“You’re saying that the Heavenly Dao’s will, which can use the rules of heaven and earth anywhere in the Nine Provinces, can’t use them in the Two Polarities Sect…?”

Miss Heavenly Dao hummed in agreement, “The rules here are special. They originate from the modified rules of another Forbidden Land, similar to the current Eastern Continent Forbidden Zone, unaffected by the rules of heaven and earth.”

Mu Zhian subconsciously took two steps back, almost tripping over the steps behind him, but Miss Heavenly Dao reacted quickly and caught him.

“Master…?” She subconsciously called out softly, seemingly confused by Mu Zhian’s sudden fear and surprise.

Mu Zhian stared at Miss Heavenly Dao, his face filled with astonishment and disbelief.

After a long silence, he finally spoke, his voice slightly hoarse, “You just said the rules here originate from the modified rules of a Forbidden Land?”

Miss Heavenly Dao hesitated slightly, then nodded gently, “Yes.”

“Which Forbidden Land?” Mu Zhian stared intently into her eyes.

Seeing Mu Zhian’s unusual expression, Miss Heavenly Dao was about to speak when she heard him ask again, “…The Forbidden Land of Life?”
