So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

Chapter 517 Upper Metamorphosis and Upper Metamorphosis 7.5K (1/2)

That night, Ye Lingxuan brought Mu Zhian to his dormitory.

She sat on the desk behind her and looked at the boy in front of her.

"Brother Mu, don't you have anything to explain?" the girl asked expressionlessly.

Mu Zhian was startled and then said: "The one I originally gave to Princess Yongning was indeed the Aurora Crystal, but it was later replaced by a cursed crystal by another one of them."

"You know that's not what I asked!"

Ye Lingxuan glared at him dissatisfied and said softly: "Didn't you agree before that you would follow me back to the restricted area? Why did it take so long?"

"I later went to Yunzhou to prepare the heavenly materials and earthly treasures for the enlightenment realm."

Mu Zhian gestured to the black chain on his hand and said, "Can you untie this thing first?"

Ye Lingxuan hummed softly. This was one of the secret techniques in the restricted area. As a saint in the restricted area, she naturally had a way to remove it.

However, just when Ye Lingxuan was about to untie it, his movements suddenly stopped, and his eyes flickered, staring at Mu Zhian.

"……What's wrong?"

Mu Zhian felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the girl, so he had no choice but to take the initiative to ask.

The girl sat on the long table behind her, surrounded by golden chains. She could only see a slender and elegant figure, and her eyes that seemed to have a bit of joy: "It's nothing. Brother Mu will explain it clearly before going to Yunzhou." Just untie it after whatever you want, it won’t affect your actions anyway.”

Mu Zhian thought for a while, seemed to understand something, and said hesitantly: "Did you spy on me?"

Ye Lingxuan was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Mu Zhian to be so perceptive: "Did that bad woman who had an affair tell you?"

An affair?

"It has nothing to do with the princess..." Mu Zhian's eyes were filled with doubts, "You really used the Lock of Time to spy on me, right?"

Ye Lingxuan remained calm and composed, speaking very sternly: "No, this is just a simple guess. Brother Mu went to Yuzhou this time just to create a furnace... The Medicine King of Yuzhou has a close relationship with the princess of Yunzhou, I think If she sees you, she won’t let you go easily.”

"Compared to this, what do you plan to do when Brother Mu comes to the restricted area this time? You seem to have not yet realized the truth, right?"

As if worried that Mu Zhian would continue to ask questions, Ye Lingxuan quickly changed the topic.

Mu Zhian glanced at the girl calmly, knowing that she was deliberately changing the subject, but without revealing it, he said, "Have you heard of the Flower of the Avenue?"

Ye Lingxuan frowned slightly and asked doubtfully: "What is that?"

She has not inherited the memory of the reincarnated queen, so naturally she does not know what the flower of the avenue is.

After all, even in the restricted area, very few people knew about this magical medicine.

Mu Zhian thought for a moment and asked, "Is our father free recently? I want to see him."

Ye Lingxuan couldn't help but rolled her eyes at Mu Zhian speechlessly.

If the owner of the restricted area hears Mu Zhian call him this, I'm afraid he will feel very strange.

"My father has been in seclusion for more than a month. Even the inheritance ceremony was presided over by my mother. But according to my mother, he will be released from seclusion within half a month." Ye Lingxuan said.

Mu Zhian hummed thoughtfully, and then, as if he thought of something, he asked, "Did your father go into seclusion just after you and Sister Ye came back?"

Ye Lingxuan glanced at Mu Zhian in surprise: "How did Brother Mu know?"

"……really."

Hearing Ye Lingxuan's answer, Mu Zhian couldn't help but show an interesting smile and murmured to himself thoughtfully.

He knew that there had been some disputes between the restricted area and the Leaf Clan in the past. This time the owner of the restricted area would retreat, probably because he had not yet figured out how to face the beautiful ancestor of the Leaf Clan.

Even though Ye Qingxin didn't care that the restricted area was later separated from the Ye clan, the owner of the restricted area still had some knots in his heart.

"Compared to this, why did Brother Mu come to the restricted area before he realized the truth? Did he encounter some trouble?" Ye Lingxuan asked curiously.

If he had followed the previous plan, Mu Zhian would have waited until he successfully passed the Heavenly Tribulation of Enlightenment in Yuzhou before leaving. However, it was really strange that he had already appeared in the restricted area at this moment.

Mu Zhian smiled and stretched out his hand to rub Ye Lingxuan's head, and whispered: "I want to see you, can't I?"

There was a hint of joy in Ye Lingxuan's eyes, and she lowered her head shyly.

After the two chatted in the room for a while, a smile gradually appeared on Ye Lingxuan's innocent and pretty face.

"By the way, I may have to stay in the restricted area for a few days. I want to see your father after he comes out of isolation..."

Ye Lingxuan hummed softly and said, "I understand. I will make arrangements for Brother Mu after my father comes out of confinement. Can you remove the secret technique from Nanhuang first? I can't even see your face. "

Although his hands are bound by black shackles in the restricted area, it is still very simple for Mu Zhian now to remove the secret skills of the Southern Wilderness.

When the black fog dissipated, Ye Lingxuan's eyes immediately fell directly on Mu Zhian.

She is as rich as jade, and her temperament is inexplicably 'charming'.

For a Huaichun girl of this age, Mu Zhian's appearance completely matches all the girl's thoughts, and her speech and behavior are even more like that of a noble prince, with a luxurious elegance.

As the princess of the restricted area, Ye Lingxuan had seen many young talents in the past, but she had never cared about them.

Maybe he can be compared with Mu Zhian in appearance, but his temperament is far behind.

It was obvious that Mu Zhian had not spoken yet, but when Ye Lingxuan looked at this fair and delicate face, her eyes seemed to be sucked, staring straight at him.

Mu Zhian naturally noticed Ye Lingxuan's gaze and couldn't help but feel amused.

From the moment he followed Ye Lingxuan into the dormitory, his eyes could not help but glance at the girl, because Ye Lingxuan's dress today was still a little different from the past.

Tonight, Ye Lingxuan is wearing a gorgeous purple skirt that has been carefully cut, which perfectly accentuates the girl's graceful figure. Under the skirt, she wears a pair of lavender boots. The space between the boots and the skirt just shows. The whiteness of the girl's beautiful legs.

Mu Zhian has actually seen a lot of people dressed like this, but Ye Lingxuan's almost perfect figure seems to make her a little more elegant and noble that other girls don't have.

A robe of green silk draped over her slender and graceful waist like a waterfall, making her look even more pure and lovely under the candlelight.

At this moment, the elegant girl was staring at the boy with clear eyes, which seemed to be filled with affection.

But yes, after all, he and Ye Lingxuan have wanted to meet for a while. The girl has been busy with the inheritance ceremony, so she must be under a lot of pressure.

Thinking of this, Mu Zhian couldn't help but reach out and gently rub the girl's hair, and said: "You have worked hard for the inheritance ceremony these days."

Ye Lingxuan shook his head gently: "This is something I have to face sooner or later. It's nothing hard."

"Compared to this, Brother Mu has a harder time. After all, in a place like Yuzhou where people are not familiar with each other... I'm afraid we have encountered a lot of trouble, right?" Ye Lingxuan looked at him with a smile.

Why does it sound so weird...

Mu Zhian smiled casually: "I encountered some minor troubles, but the senior Medicine Emperor treated me pretty well, so he always protected me."

Bless?

I'm afraid it's not just a blessing, right?

After hearing Mu Zhian's words, the girl looked well-behaved on the surface, but in fact she was thinking of what she had seen through the Lock of Desolate Time a few days ago.

Not only the Medicine Emperor, but also the Dapeng Emperor's wife seems to be somewhat involved with Brother Mu...

"It's late tonight, so I won't disturb your rest for now. I'll see you again tomorrow."

After chatting tenderly with Ye Lingxuan in the room for a while, Mu Zhian stood up and planned to leave.

However, at this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of chains intertwining and colliding behind him.

The Lock of Desolate Time? !

Mu Zhian reacted almost instantly and turned his head suddenly to look, only to see that the Lock of Desolate Time in mid-air had turned into an afterimage and appeared in front of him.

The golden lock tilted his head, as if to say: Finally got something to do?

"Sister Lingxuan, do you have anything else to do? What are you doing with the Lock of Desolation Time?"

Sensing that something was not quite right in the atmosphere, Mu Zhian's face remained calm, but in fact he was panicking in his heart.

Seeing that Mu Zhian seemed confused, Ye Lingxuan showed a charming smile and said softly: "Brother Mu, just rest in peace and deal with your own affairs. Lingxuan will always guard you silently... You Do you think I would say that, Brother Mu? "

The princess in the restricted area raised her lips, and her pure and lovely appearance now had a teasing smile like a little devil. She stepped forward and approached Mu Zhian. Mu Zhian subconsciously took half a step back, but his heels He happened to hit the door behind him.

In the end, Ye Lingxuan's delicate body just pressed him in front of the door behind him.

She raised her hand and gently caressed Mu Zhian's face. There seemed to be a smile flowing in those magnificent lavender eyes, and she said softly:

"I took Brother Mu away tonight in front of so many people. If I let Brother Mu leave without interrogating him at all, I'm afraid people in the restricted area will think that I am bending the law for personal gain and ignoring the rules of the restricted area, right? This will always be difficult to convince the public. "

This was obviously just an excuse. Given Ye Lingxuan's status in the restricted area, everyone believed that she could not lie about such a trivial matter.

Not to mention the restricted area method, if you want to find out whether a person is lying, there will always be a way.

Ye Lingxuan's fingertips gently stroked Mu Zhian's face, and the slender and slender fingers gently touched the face, bringing a slightly cool touch, with a charm that seemed to tug at the heartstrings.

She whispered: "By the way, let's give Brother Mu a hint."

"Sister Qingdi has arrived in the restricted area today, right?"

Mu Zhian was surprised: "Yao Meng? Why did she come to the restricted area?"

He has obviously never revealed his whereabouts... Could it be that Yao Meng sensed the mark on the Qinglian Ring?

"She's here to see Qian'er."

Ye Lingxuan didn't explain too much, she just raised her hand and touched the young man's face. There seemed to be seductive charm flowing in those magnificent purple eyes.

"So-"

She stood on tiptoes, gently put her pink and attractive mouth close to Mu Zhian's ear, and then said softly in the cold voice she usually used when ordering her subordinates:

"Brother Mu, you don't want Sister Qingdi to find out that you are being bullied, right?"

Where did you learn this kind of N.T.R exclusive noun... Mu Zhian couldn't help but be stunned.

The next moment, the golden light of the Lock of Desolate Time enveloped the entire dormitory.

Time pauses at this moment.

Ye Lingxuan took Mu Zhian's hand to the soft edge, and then sat with her legs crossed, her delicate white feet wrapped in pure white stockings. She swung her boots and looked at the boy secretly.

Mu Zhian had to admit that this girl was indeed becoming more and more beautiful, and her figure was gradually approaching that of a queen, but at this moment, she still had the unique purity of a girl.

Between the boots and the hem of the skirt, the dazzling white calves were exposed, and the texture of ice crystals was revealed under the candlelight.

"What's wrong, Brother Mu?" Ye Lingxuan deliberately tilted her head and asked in confusion.

Mu Zhian retracted her gaze: "Nothing."

Sensing the boy's eyes, Ye Lingxuan's mouth corners slightly raised a happy arc.

Through "The Way to Control Your Husband", she already knew Brother Mu's XP.

Sensing the girl's playful eyes, Mu Zhian coughed lightly and said, "By the way, as you said just now, I am also a prisoner, right? Is it okay for you to take me out of the prison openly?"

Ye Lingxuan curled her lips and said lightly, "Brother Mu can't be a prisoner."

"If you want to cause trouble in Dongzhou, it might be easier to join the demon world directly than to secretly give cursed crystals to others." She said with a smile.

It's actually nothing for a cultivator at the peak of the Return to Void to join the demon world.

But Mu Zhian is different...Even if we ignore his strength and natural furnace body, his existence alone in the demon world is enough to give the whole Dongzhou a headache.

"And no matter what, it is impossible to let Brother Mu stay in prison and suffer." Ye Lingxuan added again.

"In fact, I don't mind it very much. It's good to be able to practice quietly in prison." Mu Zhian shrugged.

Ye Lingxuan glanced at the boy: "Isn't it because Princess Yongning can chat with you in prison?"

Mu Zhian shook his head: "Princess Yongning and I can only say that we have met a few times, and I have no relationship with her."

"That's only now, maybe in the future."

When Ye Lingxuan said this, she suddenly sighed softly: "But tonight, in order to rescue Brother Mu, Lingxuan has been under a lot of pressure."

If he hadn't seen with his own eyes that the imperial guards released Mu Zhian without saying a word tonight, Mu Zhian might have really believed the girl's lies.

Ye Lingxuan paused and continued: "So Brother Mu, you have to compensate me."

"What compensation do you want?" Mu Zhian asked.

Ye Lingxuan landed lightly from the table, put her hands behind her back, and came to Mu Zhian. Her pleasant voice with a hint of charm sounded in the bedroom: "Brother Mu will keep pleasing Lingxuan until I am satisfied, how about it~?"

...

Ye Qian sat in the room to meditate and practice as usual today.

The people in the restricted area obviously knew her relationship with Ye Lingxuan, so they always took good care of this girl and gave her a lot of pills every time she practiced.

After the spiritual energy circulated in her body for a big cycle, Ye Qian opened her eyes and looked at the fairy in green skirt sitting in front of the bed in surprise, and said in surprise: "Master, why are you here?"

"I'm tired of staying in Yaochi, so I came out to relax and come to see how your practice progress is now."

Yao Meng said with a smile looking at his disciple.

Ye Qian thought about it, and suddenly wondered: "Could it be that something happened to Brother Mu? But didn't he go to Yuzhou? Could it be that Master went to Yuzhou before and saw Brother Mu with other women...so he was a little upset?"

Seemingly noticing that Yao Meng's expression was a little complicated, Ye Qian immediately comforted her: "But Master, you don't have to think too much. You just sent Brother Mu to Yuzhou so that he could protect himself...It's actually nothing."

I didn't expect that there would be a day when I would be comforted by my disciple...

Yao Meng couldn't help but smile: "I didn't come to see you for your brother Mu's affairs. I just want to take you back to Yao Chi after your sister's inheritance ceremony is over, and accept the inheritance of the Tiandan Phoenix Tree."

Ye Qian was startled: "But I'm not a disciple of Yao Chi. Wouldn't it be against the rules to do this..."

She knew that the Tiandan Phoenix Tree was the symbol of Yao Chi, and almost every disciple of Yao Chi would get inheritance from the Tiandan Phoenix Tree...and how much you can get depends on your talent.

"You are my disciple anyway, and you are also a member of Yaochi, so don't worry about it."

At this moment, a deafening thunderclap suddenly came from the north of the restricted area. That place was far away from the restricted area, but Yao Meng still caught it in the first time.

That was the pill calamity.

"Has Luo Tan started to refine the Jiuding Lianxu Pill?" Yao Meng whispered to himself.

"Is it the pill that Brother Mu needs?" Ye Qian asked.

Yao Meng smiled and nodded, gently stroking Ye Qian's head, and said softly: "You should practice well first. If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time."

"Where are you going, Master?"

Yao Meng's green eyes showed a faint smile, looked in a certain direction of the restricted area, and whispered: "Well... go out and relax."

...

At the same time, in the Yuzhou Palace, tens of thousands of kilometers away from the restricted area, a woman in a snow-white dress was standing in front of the cauldron, and the vigorous fire in the cauldron was burning.

The princess was standing not far from her. Today, she was wearing a gorgeous double-breasted blouse embroidered with plump crabapple flowers, which perfectly matched the beautiful and plump princess, outlining her full and upright chest and slender waist.

The princess's beautiful eyes like clear water stayed on the cauldron for a long time, and praised: "It is said that there is nothing in this world that cannot be refined by the Qi Transformation Cauldron of All Things. Today, I saw that this thing is indeed the ancestor of Yuzhou. ”

The ancestral weapon was a weapon that was painstakingly cultivated by a powerful person in the Hedao Realm. Luo Tan's Qi Cauldron of All Things was rumored to be able to perfectly refine even elixirs, and then refine elixirs.

Now it seems that there is really such a possibility.

Luo Tan did not answer. At this time, her attention seemed to be completely focused on the cauldron in front of her.

After two hours of refining, although the pill disaster has passed now, in order to maximize the effect of the pill, she naturally will not relax now.

Boom...

Along with a roar, Luo Tan slowly opened his calm eyes.

A round-colored elixir flew out from the Cauldron of Transformation Qi of All Things and landed in Luo Tan's hand.

"Is he still in the restricted area?" Luo Tan asked.

The princess hummed softly: "The shielding technique imposed on him by the spirit dragon will be lifted when he realizes the heavenly tribulation, but if the spirit dragon can step into the realm of feathering before then, maybe the problem can be solved."

Luo Tan's eyebrows furrowed slightly. If it was so easy to become immortal, then the Qing Emperor and the Master of the Sword Palace wouldn't be the only two people in Kyushu who could successfully become immortal after such a long time.

"Spiritual dragon involves the great road. If she has not communicated with the great road, it may be difficult for her to ascend." Luo Tan shook his head slightly and said.

"That's why he went to the restricted area." The princess said.

"I can't help Spirit Dragon, but the Flower of the Avenue in the restricted area can help her."

Luo Tan nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly hesitated and looked at the princess suspiciously: "Is it that your attitude towards him has been too kind recently...?"

She was worried that the princess would accidentally expose the relationship between Mu Zhian and her.

The wife of Emperor Dapeng has an extremely close relationship with another member of the opposite sex... It would be troublesome if word got out.

"Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion."

The princess smiled brightly: "After he successfully realizes the truth, I will return to Yunzhou to concentrate on handling government affairs, and wait to pick him up for a trip to Yunzhou in the future."

Luo Tan was speechless for a moment: "I shouldn't have let you notice him in the first place."

If there was no princess, after Mu Zhian realized the Tao, she would be able to enjoy the natural furnace of the Ascension Realm by herself.

"Even without me, do you really think you can enjoy the cake by yourself?"

A playful smile appeared on the princess's face: "I don't know how many people are waiting for him to realize his enlightenment now."

Luo Tan was silent.

What a headache. I finally fell in love with a man, but this man's natural calamity made him destined to be noticed by countless female cultivators.

As if she knew what Luo Tan was thinking, the princess showed a gentle smile: "Actually, you don't have to worry. The one who really should worry is Qingdi... After all, she is married to Mu Zhian. Woolen cloth."

Luo Tan thought about it and realized that this was also the case.

She is on the 'green' side, so why should she worry now that Mu Zhi'an will be targeted by those women after her natural furnace is exposed?

The person who should be worried should be Qingdi.

"What are your plans next?" the princess suddenly asked.

Luo Tan thought for a while and said with a smile: "If you think about it carefully, it seems that you haven't gone out for a while. Tomorrow I will go to the restricted area in person to hand over the elixir to him, and also say hello to the person behind the restricted area."

That night.

The locks of desolate time were swimming in the air, and time was frozen. Mu Zhian was lying on the bed thinking about life.

Ye Lingxuan on the side was nestled in the boy's arms, like a clingy cat.

If the tribesmen in the forbidden area saw this scene, they would probably be shocked. The princess of the forbidden area, who was usually cold and elegant, could actually act like a little bird in private.

"Sister Lingxuan, if you just release me like this, will it have any impact on your inheritance ceremony?" Mu Zhian suddenly asked.

However, there was no response after a long while.

Asleep?

Although the girl just kept shouting that she was dying, she was still a reincarnated queen after all, so she shouldn't be so tired that she needed to sleep, right?

Mu Zhian looked down, and was shocked to find that the girl was nestled in his arms, but she never made any movement.

The wind outside blew through the curtains, but the bed curtains solidified in the fluttering, as if even the wind was frozen.

A fresh and charming fragrance wafted over.

"No need to shout. Only you can move around freely in this dormitory. Time for other things is suspended."

Yao Meng sat by the bed and looked at the young man with a smile, his celestial appearance was moving.

Her tall and graceful figure was looming in the fairy mist, and her holy and seductive voice contained a hint of playfulness: "Are you surprised? Why are you looking at me with such surprised eyes?"

Mu Zhian was obviously stunned.

"Isn't the time here frozen by Sister Lingxuan's Lock of Time? Why do you appear here?" Mu Zhian asked incredulously.

"She has not yet inherited the handover ceremony of the reincarnated queen, so I froze her suspended time again."

Yao Meng said with a smile: "But it seems that you are still a step too late... Your natural furnace seems to have consumed a lot of spiritual energy."

I paused the time you paused? Is there still such a way to play?

Mu Zhian didn't know what to say for a while.

"When did you know that I came to the restricted area?" Mu Zhian asked in a low voice.

"I noticed it when you entered the restricted area, but I was talking to Qian'er at that time, so I didn't come to disturb you."

Yao Meng said to herself: "After you reach the state of enlightenment this time, the matter of the natural furnace cauldron is likely to be exposed... I'm afraid the cultivators outside think I'm worried about this matter."

"After all, the temptation of the natural furnace cauldron is hard for any female cultivator to refuse."

She paused and deliberately said: "Even a married woman would find it hard to refuse your natural furnace cauldron."

This was obviously a joke about the princess.

Even Mu Zhian, who had always been as calm as an old dog, was panicked when he heard this and said, "Sorry."

He thought Yao Meng would be angry about what happened in Yuzhou during this period, or would come to settle accounts with him.

However, whether it was because Yao Chi practiced the way of meditation or something else, Yao Meng's answer was beyond Mu Zhian's expectations.

"It's okay. I don't really care about you being intimate with other women."

Looking at Mu Zhian's surprised expression, Yao Meng's mouth curled up a frivolous arc.

"So you don't have to worry about what will happen if someone discovers your natural furnace during the tribulation. Just rest assured to survive this enlightenment tribulation."

"You don't care about my intimacy with other women...?" Mu Zhian still looked at Yao Meng in disbelief.

In fact, in the past, Mu Zhian always felt that a woman like Yao Meng was an impeccable and perfect lover...As a result, what she said tonight, although it seemed to expose a shortcoming, but for a man...this seems to be a perfect advantage.

At least that's how it is for Mu Zhian...

"You wish."

Yao Meng rolled her eyes at Mu Zhian, but a slight arc appeared on the corner of her mouth: "I know what happened to you in Tianxuan City in the past, so I don't care about your intimacy with other women, but the premise is that you are intimate with them with my knowledge."

Mu Zhian understood that for Yao Meng, there are actually two kinds of being cheated, one is physical and the other is mental.

If she knows about it, it doesn't matter, but if he does it behind her back...that means he cheated on her mentally and physically.

The situation is completely different.

This time Yao Meng went to the restricted area to see Ye Qian just to find out what his XP is like.

"I may need to make some preparations before I can realize the Tao."

Mu Zhian said: "After entering the peak of returning to the void, I feel that my breath is a little unstable. It may take some time to stabilize, otherwise there may be hidden dangers in the future, and it may be difficult to merge with the Tao or even ascend to the Yuhua stage in the future."

Yao Meng thought about it and smiled quickly: "In fact, it is not difficult to ascend to the Yuhua stage."

Mu Zhian couldn't help but look at this fairy twice more.

Even Yao Meng had gone through so much trouble to ascend to Yuhua.

And now he is acting like a Versailles?

"You won't be able to ascend to Yuhua in a short time anyway."

She glanced at Ye Lingxuan, who was leaning on Mu Zhian's arms, and gently stroked the girl's cheek.

Then, she sat down next to the boy casually.

Before Mu Zhian could speak, Yao Meng looked down at him, and her long black hair gently brushed across his arm, itching and carrying a faint fragrance.

She leaned down, gently touched the boy's lips with her fingertips, and whispered, "But you have another way to ascend to Yuhua."

"What method?" Mu Zhian was doubtful.

Yao Meng glanced at the boy with a charming look, and her soft body gently pressed down, just leaning on his arms with Ye Lingxuan on the left and right.

Accompanied by the charming voice that sounded in the bedroom.

"I am the Yuhua Realm, idiot."

...
