It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists
Chapter 582: The Sect Master is a Shotacon?

Mu Zhian had been worried about what Senior Sister Lan would do to him if she returned to the Two Polarities Sect…

Yet, unexpectedly, after being teleported back to Two Polarities Peak, the first person he saw wasn’t Senior Sister, but Sect Master Sister.

Logically, Mu Zhian should have refused Shang Yanfei’s advances.

After all, he did feel somewhat guilty towards Lan Mulian. Although it was to help her ancestor… he had still done things with that beautiful ancestor.

Shang Yanfei’s slender fingers traced his chest, a casual yet deliberate touch.

“Are you feeling guilty? Do you feel like you’ve wronged your Senior Sister?” Her voice, like a soft murmur, was laced with a seductive charm.

Mu Zhian was silent for a moment, then hummed softly in agreement.

Shang Yanfei smiled faintly, “You never seemed guilty when you were with other women, but now, you suddenly feel guilty towards your Senior Sister?”

Her voice was playful, almost teasing, lingering in his ears.

“Because I’m her Master, this makes you feel like what we’re doing is wronging Mulian?”

Her gentle words, laced with a hint of provocation, made Mu Zhian’s heart stir, an inexplicable thrill coursing through him.

Her delicate hand gently rested on Mu Zhian’s thigh. As if sensing something, the corner of her mouth curved upwards, and she gazed at him tenderly, her red lips parting slightly, “So, this feeling of guilt and excitement… does it arouse you?”

Sect Master Sister’s acting strange… Mu Zhian composed himself and discreetly observed Shang Yanfei’s expression, quickly noticing something amiss.

Shang Yanfei’s eyes now held a gentle, almost motherly affection… and a hidden desire.

Mu Zhian, suppressing his impulses, boldly asked, “May I ask you a question first?”

Shang Yanfei raised a delicate eyebrow, “Go ahead.”

“Mu Wange is also you, isn’t she?” Mu Zhian asked.

Shang Yanfei lowered her eyelids slightly and hummed softly in agreement, “Mu Wange is me, and Mu Wanwan is me as well.”

“Mu Wange… what exactly are her feelings towards me?” Mu Zhian asked.

Each clone had different feelings for Mu Zhian, Mu Wange had mentioned this before, but he still wanted to hear it from Shang Yanfei herself.

“After she found you, she raised you. In her eyes, you were a good and obedient child…” Shang Yanfei looked at Mu Zhian with a hint of tenderness and affection in her eyes, “She always blamed herself for not being able to stay by your side and watch you grow, for you turning from a good boy into a bad boy… So she wanted to make it up to you.”

As expected!

Mu Zhian suddenly understood.

Each of Sect Master Sister’s personalities, her spiritual senses, were completely different!

The Mu Wange who raised Mu Zhian was more like a mother figure, gentle and somewhat naive.

But Mu Wange was also easily flustered, like a startled deer… which was quite cute.

Mu Wanwan, his ex-girlfriend from the past, was a teasing little vixen, her personality unpredictable, enjoying playing with people’s hearts… He suspected this was similar to the Sect Master.

As for Sect Master Sister herself… at first, he thought she was a composed and mysterious older sister, but after interacting with her, he felt she was more of a closet pervert… Yao Meng had also mentioned this before.

Shang Yanfei wasn’t a god without desires. She probably had many naughty thoughts, but she only thought about them, not acting on them.

After all, on the surface, she was a magnificent and elegant Empress, but in reality, Sect Master Sister was a closet pervert…

Of course, this closet pervert would also take action. Back in Tianxuan City, she approached him while he was still young…

So, could it be that Sect Master Sister is a shotacon…? Mu Zhian suddenly wondered.

Just as he thought of this, he noticed Shang Yanfei looking at him with amusement, as if seeing through his thoughts.

Mu Zhian was suddenly stunned and tried to sit up, but the replica immortal gold chains bound his hands and feet.

He composed himself slightly and stared into Shang Yanfei’s eyes, “…Can you also read minds?”

Mu Wange had admitted earlier that she, like Mu Zhian, possessed a ‘personal interface’, and she had all of Mu Zhian’s constitutions.

Shang Yanfei naturally also possessed the Chaos Body.

What the Demon Empress could do, this woman could also do!

Sect Master Sister is too perfect. Marrying her is equivalent to marrying every woman in the world… After all, she can transform into any woman…

No, now’s not the time to think about this. If this woman could really read minds, then wouldn’t she have known his thoughts about her from the moment they first met…?

Mu Zhian was so embarrassed he wanted to bury his face in his hands, but he could only be openly scrutinized by Shang Yanfei.

“Why do you think I can read minds?”

Shang Yanfei casually crossed her legs, her long, fair, and shapely legs accentuated by her black magnificent robe. She wore dark gold flat sandals, the skin on her feet as smooth as jade, her toes painted a seductive pink.

She wore only black and white, but the black dress somehow made the blue veins on her feet even more alluring.

Seemingly noticing Mu Zhian’s gaze, the breathtakingly beautiful woman looked down at him and said, “I can’t do what you can’t. Does your Chaos Body have a mind-reading technique?”

“But you…” Mu Zhian trailed off.

“You want to ask why I can always guess your thoughts, right?”

Shang Yanfei gently caressed Mu Zhian’s face, her pale golden eyes filled with tenderness and affection.

“I simply understand you better than others.”

“For example, I know what you’re thinking right now.”

Shang Yanfei gently touched his lips with her fingertip, a smile in her golden eyes, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, “Do you want me to kneel and serve you?”

Thump! Thump!

Mu Zhian’s heart raced.

The woman’s voice, like a soft veil caressing his face, was gentle, making his heart itch.

She whispered, “I can fulfill your wish.”

…

At this moment, Lan Mulian didn’t know what was happening at the Two Polarities Sect.

After the teleportation talisman activated, Mu Zhian had been sent to Lan Mulian’s bedchamber, even thoughtfully bound by replica immortal gold chains, waiting for Senior Sister’s return.

Looking at the calm lake, Lan Mulian turned to leave Primordial Lake.

“Lian’er, why are you alone? Where’s your Junior Brother?”

Just then, Lan Shihuai, having changed into her crystal-colored dress, walked out of the pleasure boat, her bare feet treading on the lake’s surface as she approached, seeing Lan Mulian standing beneath a tree by the lake.

Noticing the young woman’s displeased expression, Lan Shihuai asked doubtfully, “What’s wrong? Why do you look so upset? Did your Junior Brother upset you?”

Her usually caring words now sounded strangely jarring to Lan Mulian.

Lan Mulian quietly looked up at the beautiful face that shared some resemblance to her own and said softly, “I know everything, Ancestor.”

Lan Shihuai was stunned for a moment, as if not understanding.

Then, seeing Lan Mulian’s gaze, she seemed to realize something, a complex look appearing in her smile, “Did that child tell you everything?”

“He didn’t. I figured it out myself.”

Lan Mulian looked at the beautiful woman before her and said softly, “Ancestor, have you forgotten my constitution?”

Although the Sacred Heavenly Body couldn’t perceive Lan Shihuai’s origin, it could perceive Mu Zhian’s.

And within Mu Zhian’s origin, there was Lan Shihuai’s aura.

Lan Shihuai was stunned, then seemed to understand and sighed softly, “I was planning to tell you later… I didn’t expect you to find out so soon.”

“Ancestor, why…?” Lan Mulian trailed off.

Although she had already seen Ancestor’s aura within Mu Zhian’s origin, hearing her admit it still made Lan Mulian find it hard to believe.

In her heart, Lan Shihuai was the person she respected most, besides her Master. These past few days, Lan Shihuai had practically given them her entire inheritance, and even given her a warmth she had never felt before.

That kind of warm care… was like a mother’s love.

Yet this admirable ancestor, was actually with Junior Brother…

“My spiritual sense is incomplete. Although it won’t dissipate within the Second Ark, it would probably vanish quickly if I left,” Lan Shihuai looked at her descendant and said softly, “But after obtaining some of the Innate Celestial Furnace’s Spiritual Energy, my spiritual sense is much stronger now… Even outside, it can last for at least a hundred years without dissipating.”

“I didn’t intend to hide it from you. Your Junior Brother and I discussed it, and we both hoped you would find out later.”

“So you could continue dual cultivating behind my back… for the thrill of it?” Lan Mulian’s voice turned cold.

“No,” Lan Shihuai gently shook her head. “I know both you and Feiying like that young man… But there are already several powerful great powers around him. If you try to compete with them now, you’re at a disadvantage.”

“I know that if you find out about my dual cultivation with him, you probably wouldn’t listen to my teachings anymore… So I hoped to wait until I passed on my entire inheritance, even the Lan Clan’s ancestral artifact, to you before telling you.”

Her words were sincere, her eyes filled with genuine remorse, “You might think this is just an excuse, but I hope you’ll always remember that I am your ancestor, and I would never do anything to harm my descendants.”

“Why would Ancestor help me so much…?” Lan Mulian asked subconsciously.

She had gradually calmed down and could tell whether Lan Shihuai was lying.

But she still couldn’t understand.

There were so many Lan Clan members, why did Ancestor choose them as her true successors, even going so far as to stand up for them?

Ancestor could have just stayed behind the scenes and left these trivial matters to the Lan Clan elders.

Lan Shihuai’s eyes softened, “Actually, you’re very much like the younger me.”

“Proud, powerful, incredibly talented, but reclusive, solely focused on cultivation.”

From the moment she met Lan Mulian, Lan Shihuai felt like she was looking in a mirror.

“If it were me, I wouldn’t be intimate with him without any emotional foundation,” Lan Mulian suddenly said.

Lan Shihuai: “…”

Can we even have a proper conversation…?

“I wouldn’t be intimate with him without an emotional foundation either, even if he possessed the Innate Celestial Furnace,” Lan Shihuai said softly.

Did this mean Ancestor had also been intimate with Junior Brother and had conversations with him…?

Lan Mulian was stunned, “But haven’t you always been on the ancient ship? When else did you interact with him?”

Lan Shihuai gently pointed at her forehead and said softly, “In my dreams.”

“From the moment I saw him, I had a sense of déjà vu.”

If Mu Zhian heard this, he would be greatly surprised. Wasn’t this ‘déjà vu’ related to the ‘world reboot’ Lan Shihuai mentioned earlier?

“You might find this hard to believe, or even think I’m lying, but I truly met him in my dreams, more than once.”

“We even became Dao Companions.”

Although those were just vague memories, only recalled after the influx of Heavenly Court Spiritual Energy not long ago, Lan Shihuai still believed them to some extent.

After all, according to her earlier conversation with Mu Zhian, this world had been rebooted more than once.

Who knew whether she had truly met Mu Zhian before?

Lan Shihuai paused slightly, then continued, “Actually, at first, I did want his Innate Celestial Furnace, but considering you and your sister, I dismissed that idea… Later, you often mentioned him in your conversations, and I became curious about the man who captivated both of you, so I tried approaching him…”

And ended up falling for him herself…

“You and Feiying lost your mother at a young age. I’ve always seen you two as my descendants, even as my own daughters,” Lan Shihuai said softly. “I’m just a wisp of incomplete spiritual sense. If it weren’t for the Innate Celestial Furnace’s Spiritual Energy, I wouldn’t even be able to leave the Second Ark. So, I used your Junior Brother’s Spiritual Energy to rectify the Lan Clan, and also… to get some fresh air.”

“So don’t worry… I won’t steal your man, he’s yours.”

Hearing this, Lan Mulian’s beautiful eyes, clear as a cold pool, trembled slightly, her expression momentarily dazed.

“Daughter…”

She had also longed to see her mother again.

But that was impossible now.

However, with Lan Shihuai, she often felt a motherly care.

That’s why, learning about this respected elder’s intimacy with her Junior Brother, she found it difficult to accept.

But thinking carefully, Junior Brother’s Innate Celestial Furnace could nourish Ancestor’s spiritual sense, even help her rebuild her physical body in the future.

Ignoring Ancestor for the sake of monopolizing Junior Brother… As Ancestor’s descendant, was that truly filial?

Although Ancestor hid it from her first, had she ever considered Ancestor’s feelings?

The next moment, Lan Mulian looked up, her flawless eyes reflecting Lan Shihuai’s mature, cold, and sexy figure, and said seriously, “Ancestor, it’s fine even if you’re intimate with him from now on…”

“I know it’s difficult for you to maintain your current body with just this wisp of spiritual sense, so if you don’t mind…”

She took half a step closer, her voluptuous figure almost pressing against Lan Shihuai’s chest, “When you and Junior Brother dual cultivate later,”

“I can… I can lend you my body.”
