It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists
Chapter 584: You Wouldn’t Want Your Sister to Find Out, Would You?

For Mu Zhian, Shang Yanfei was the reserved, or rather, secretly kinky, mysterious, and intelligent older sister type.

And Yao Meng was the pure yet seductive fairy, cool and aloof on the surface, but willing to play in private.

But they both shared a similar trait.

Whether it was the Sect Master or Yao Meng, they would both display a hint of shyness and restraint during intimate moments.

And it was precisely this restraint, combined with their ability to pinpoint Mu Zhian’s XP, this alluring charm hidden beneath their pure and cool demeanor…

It was simply too hot to handle.

However, Mu Zhian wasn’t concerned about that right now, but…

“Jade Empress Sister, aren’t you going to unlock these immortal gold chains first?” Mu Zhian looked at Yao Meng’s graceful back and couldn’t help asking.

Yao Meng glanced at the young man, a hint of amusement in her eyes, “Now you know who truly cares about you, don’t you? I would never restrain you with such chains.”

You’ve never used chains, but you do use World-Purifying Vines… Mu Zhian’s eyes held a touch of gratitude, “I knew Jade Empress Sister cared about me the most…”

Then, he glanced at the green seed in Yao Meng’s hand, a wary look in his eyes, “But what are you planning to do with that World-Purifying Seed…?”

Yao Meng glanced at him and said with a faint smile, “Don’t you think you’ve been a bit too intimate with other women recently?”

She toyed with the World-Purifying Seed in her hand, a faint immortal mist surrounding her.

Green vines silently wrapped around Yao Meng’s flawless legs, up her arms, and stopped at her fingertips.

Yao Meng smiled, “So I’m thinking, perhaps it would be better to take you back to the Jade Pool Holy Land for some quiet cultivation.”

Quiet cultivation? Wouldn’t it be non-stop sensual indulgence…?

Mu Zhian’s eyelids twitched, “Could you at least unlock these immortal gold chains first?”

“I can’t,” Yao Meng said with a smile, “This is Shang Yanfei’s technique. Although it’s not a real immortal gold chain, it’s a replica. I could forcibly remove it, but I’m afraid it might hurt you.”

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment, then hesitated, “Speaking of which, ancestral artifacts are forged from immortal gold, right? Since the Sect Master can create replicas of immortal gold chains, can she also replicate other people’s ancestral artifacts?”

Yao Meng nodded slightly, “If I had to guess, it’s probably possible.”

“Shang Yanfei’s constitution should be able to replicate anything in this world. But analyzing the origin of all things isn’t easy, especially replicating an immortal gold chain… How strange.”

However, Mu Zhian didn’t find it strange at all.

The Sect Master could replicate anything in this world, even his personal interface… Replicating an immortal gold chain wasn’t surprising.

To replicate something, one needed to analyze its origin first.

And analyzing an origin usually took years.

But there were exceptions.

For example, if one possessed a constitution that could perceive the origin of all things, then the problem was easily solved.

Mu Zhian himself possessed a pseudo-Sacred Heavenly Body.

The Sect Master had the same personal interface as Mu Zhian. Any constitution he had, she also possessed.

Thinking of this, Mu Zhian couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Who was the real ‘protagonist’ here?

Perceiving the origin of all things, analyzing it, then replicating it.

Ancestral artifacts, techniques, even systems, Shang Yanfei could replicate them all.

Although the effects were definitely weaker than the originals, this technique itself was already incredibly powerful.

Speaking of which, can I perceive the origin of this immortal gold chain…?

A thought suddenly struck Mu Zhian. He closed his eyes slightly.

Then, his spiritual sense swept over the replica immortal gold chains binding his hands.

Weng!

After perceiving the origin of the immortal gold chain, a soft, white light gradually appeared before his eyes.

Within that white light, he could vaguely see a woman.

She sat under a pavilion, leisurely drawing a talisman.

Behind her, nine dark chains seemed to intertwine and collide, a solemn and sacred sound, like the rumbling of the Great Dao.

A replica immortal gold chain quietly materialized in her palm, then silently merged with the teleportation talisman.

This was the process of Shang Yanfei creating that teleportation talisman!

Although he couldn’t replicate all things in the world like Shang Yanfei yet, Mu Zhian could perceive their origins, seeing the process of her replicating the immortal gold chain.

At the same time, a soft, white light emanated from within Mu Zhian’s body, flowing like water, and permeating the surface of the immortal gold chain.

Heavenly Dao Energy!

Mu Zhian possessed three portions of Heavenly Dao Energy, later combined by Yuanluo, able to freely replicate any weapon.

But first, he had to perceive the target weapon’s origin.

It seems it really is possible… Mu Zhian was pleasantly surprised to find that after covering the immortal gold chain, the Heavenly Dao Energy began to reverse, dissolving the chains binding him.

Click.

A faint sound of chains colliding echoed through the room.

Then, the immortal gold chains fell from Mu Zhian’s wrists.

“Oh?”

Noticing Mu Zhian’s actions, Yao Meng looked at the young man with a strange glint in her eyes, “You untied yourself?”

“Just a little experiment. I have to find a way to save myself,” Mu Zhian shrugged, looking at the Heavenly Dao Energy, now in the form of chains, swirling around him.

I finally have chains too… Mu Zhian felt a surge of emotion.

He had been envious of Sister Mengrou, Lingxuan, and Nai Xi having chains. After all, whenever they went yandere, they could just chain him up.

And now, the Heavenly Dao Energy had dissolved and devoured the immortal gold chains, even taking their form…

These were four immortal gold chains, even replicas couldn’t be underestimated.

After withdrawing the Heavenly Dao Energy back into his body, Mu Zhian suddenly felt a green vine quietly wrapping around his feet. He immediately reacted and looked up, “Wait, what are you doing?”

Yao Meng stood with her arms crossed, a mysterious and deep light in her beautiful eyes, and said softly, “Didn’t I say earlier? I’m taking you back to cultivate the Dao of Tranquility.”

“Are you unwilling?”

Her pleasant and melodious voice, like a gentle caress to his soul, made his mind slightly hazy.

Mu Zhian subconsciously swallowed, his pupils constricting slightly.

After a moment, he came back to his senses and said with a hint of helplessness, “The Jade Pool’s Dao Rhyme isn’t for charming others!”

Clearly, Yao Meng’s immortal voice just now was laced with the Jade Pool Holy Land’s Dao Rhyme, capable of influencing one’s mind.

This naturally had an effect on Mu Zhian, but now, possessing the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox body, he was immune to most charm techniques.

“It seems your cultivation has improved quite a bit,” Yao Meng said lazily, stretching her waist, her graceful curves on full display under the candlelight.

She glanced at Mu Zhian and said with a smile, “It seems you can even resist the Demon Empress’s charm now.”

“But I wonder if you can resist the Demon Empress’s own allure…”

As she spoke, she looked at Mu Zhian with a meaningful gaze.

Even if he was immune to charm techniques, it didn’t mean he wouldn’t be tempted by the Demon Empress’s alluring and sexy figure.

Mu Zhian coughed lightly, “Let’s not talk about this for now. I have something I need your help with.”

Yao Meng raised a delicate eyebrow and said softly, “Beg me.”

“Please,” Mu Zhian said.

Yao Meng: “…”

Looking at the young man’s straightforward request, Yao Meng couldn’t help but pout and say faintly, “You’re not even trying.”

Mu Zhian was stunned, “Then what should I do? Lick your feet or something?”

“Then who’s taking advantage of whom?”

Yao Meng gave him a seductive look, a hint of charm in her green eyes, “Tell me what you need. As long as it’s within my power, I won’t refuse.”

“The Jade Pool Holy Land has been in the Eastern Continent for so long, you must have quite a few ancient texts recording its history, right?” Mu Zhian asked a seemingly irrelevant question.

Yao Meng nodded gently.

Among the ancient factions in the Eastern Continent, the Great Qian Dynasty had the most detailed records, followed by the Jade Pool Holy Land and the Two Polarities Sect.

Although the Forbidden Zone was powerful, being a reclusive place, it didn’t have many records of the Eastern Continent’s history.

The reason the Great Qian Dynasty had the most records wasn’t just because of their own collection, but because they also held the records of almost all previous dynasties in the Eastern Continent.

Of course, some of these records were incomplete.

“What do you want me to look up?” Yao Meng asked.

“Remember I asked you about the Calamity Body in the Forbidden Zone before?” Mu Zhian suddenly asked.

“A Calamity Body appears after the downfall of every dynasty… Their existence is like a harbinger of a dynasty’s end, right?”

Yao Meng’s eyes flickered, and she hesitated, “Why are you suddenly investigating this?”

“I want to confirm whether the Calamity Body refers to the same person, or if it’s a different person every time a dynasty falls,” Mu Zhian said.

Yao Meng finally understood Mu Zhian’s meaning, narrowed her eyes, and said softly, “You suspect all Calamity Bodies are the same person?”

“I don’t know, so I want to confirm,” Mu Zhian said. “The Heavenly Dao is exploiting a loophole in the rules of heaven and earth. Since even the Heavenly Dao itself has to abide by the rules, it can only truly manifest when punishing a Calamity Body.”

“So, if possible, I want to know who those Calamity Bodies who witnessed the downfall of dynasties were. These ancient texts should have some records.”

“And also,” he looked up, gazing into Yao Meng’s eyes, “The Great Qian Dynasty has stood for nearly a thousand years, right? Perhaps this time, we can see how the Heavenly Dao sends down punishment and creates a Calamity Body.”

“You think the Great Qian Dynasty is nearing its end?”

Yao Meng casually toyed with a strand of hair and said softly, “I also have that feeling. Gu Buxing did many things that damaged the Great Qian Dynasty’s national fortune before his death. I’m afraid that mortal dynasty is in turmoil now.”

The old emperor’s reign was nearing its end, and the Crown Prince, having neglected his duties for so long, was now trying to make up for lost time in governing the court, which was proving to be quite difficult.

Recently, some disciples in the Jade Pool Holy Land had been discussing the internal turmoil within the Great Qian Dynasty.

Yao Meng nodded gently, “I understand. I’ll go to the Jade Pool Holy Land later and have some disciples help me look through the ancient texts recording the history of the Eastern Continent dynasties.”

“After all, this is your request.”

Hearing this, Mu Zhian’s eyes held a hint of guilt. He looked at the fairy in the green dress, floating in mid-air, opened his mouth slightly, as if wanting to say something, but ultimately held back.

However, Yao Meng seemed to sense something and glanced at him, “Don’t tell me you’re feeling guilty?”

“Because you’ve been intimate with so many beauties recently, so now you feel guilty seeing me?”

Yao Meng counted on her fingers, “If I remember correctly, there have been four or five people who enjoyed the Innate Celestial Furnace recently, right?”

Mu Zhian: “…”

“But it’s fine, don’t forget who sent you to Yu State in the first place.”

Unlike what Mu Zhian expected, Yao Meng didn’t show any anger, but instead shed her usual cold demeanor.

Like a gentle older sister, she suddenly pulled the young man into her embrace, holding him warmly.

Mu Zhian buried his face in the Jade Empress’s bosom, her faint fragrance filling his senses, her gentle voice echoing in his ear, “Mu Zhian, your Innate Celestial Furnace means you’re destined to have more than just me by your side… So I never intended to monopolize you from the very beginning.”

Yao Meng had already come to terms with this when she took Mu Zhian to Yu State.

Mu Zhian possessed the Innate Celestial Furnace, destined to attract all kinds of vixens… And in a way, Yao Meng herself was also a vixen.

Simply trying to stop them wouldn’t work.

Even if Mu Zhian was devoted, facing the temptation of a breathtaking beauty… He could resist once, twice, but could he resist forever?

The Art of Managing Your Husband said that when you couldn’t capture a man’s heart, you could try guiding him instead.

After he understood your difficulties, he would feel a deep sense of guilt and regret.

And these emotions would eventually turn into love.

“After all, I like you the most,” she said again gently.

Her delicate fragrance, the softness of her body, and her gentle, almost motherly care, combined to form a unique charm that even a seasoned veteran like Mu Zhian couldn’t resist.

Mu Zhian’s heart trembled, a warmth spreading through his body. Yao Meng’s ‘confession’ was so sudden that he was momentarily flustered.

The atmosphere in the room was incredibly ambiguous.

Mu Zhian opened his mouth slightly, about to speak.

But Yao Meng placed a finger against his lips.

“Shh.”

Yao Meng licked her rosy lips, her eyes moist and seductive, and whispered in his ear, her breath like orchids, “Instead of thanking me with words, why not show me your love instead?”

“Right here, on your Senior Sister’s bed~”
