It turns out, they were the main characters.

The fairy in the green dress, her eyes sparkling, had already made up her mind. Gazing at Ye Yu, she said:

"Fellow Daoist, please return. I have already made my own choice regarding this matter."

Her voice carried a hint of Taoist charm. Although she rejected the other party, it was difficult to feel any dislike towards her. She possessed a kind of charm that calmed even the most anxious heart.

Although somewhat unwilling, the old man had no choice but to give up this rare opportunity since the other party had already put it that way.

Ye Yu watched everything from inside the body through the old man's perspective, and saw Ye Lingxuan displaying a submissive and affectionate demeanor when facing Mu Zhian, causing his jealousy to surge uncontrollably.

"In the end, you still have to rely on Lingxuan. You can't do anything except accept help from women!" Ye Yu stared intently at Mu Zhian, his voice suddenly changing from weathered to impulsive and youthful.

Mu Zhian smiled faintly and said, "There's nothing wrong with lovers helping each other out."

Lover… Ye Lingxuan’s eyes flickered slightly, and two beautiful blushes appeared on her previously indifferent face. She lowered her eyes, feeling both shy and happy.

Looking at the boy who was speechless after being rebuked, Mu Zhian couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

He never shied away from being a kept man; in fact, he quite enjoyed it.

However, this time, he really didn't intend to rely on Ye Lingxuan... To be precise, he didn't intend to let Ye Lingxuan plead with anyone else, even if that person was her father.

Seeing Mu Zhian's indifferent expression, Ye Yu suppressed his anger and turned to leave.

At the same time, he thought coldly, "Master, who exactly is this person possessing Qian'er's body?"

He could sense the regret in his teacher's heart at this moment. Clearly, being rejected by the woman possessing Ye Qian made him feel very sorry.

The old man sighed softly and said slowly, "She is the Azure Emperor, the first Holy Maiden of the Yaochi Holy Land. She should still have a few Enlightenment Seeds left behind when she merged with the Dao. As long as you take one of these Enlightenment Seeds, your future cultivation will be much smoother."

"Moreover, the Azure Emperor is a naturally born Dao embryo. If she can temporarily attach herself to your body this time, as long as you can seize the opportunity in the future and develop some feelings for her, you might be able to obtain tremendous benefits from the naturally born Dao embryo."

Legend has it that every Holy Maiden of the Jade Pool Holy Land is born with a Daoist embryo.

This physique is somewhat similar to that of a natural furnace or cauldron.

However, the innate furnace provides spiritual energy to others, while the innate Dao embryo contains a wisp of the Great Dao within its body from birth. The first person of the opposite sex with whom it has a close relationship can randomly comprehend unparalleled techniques from this Great Dao.

This technique was derived from the Great Dao and is most suitable for oneself.

Within the Nine Provinces, many cultivators consider it an honor to marry the Holy Maiden of Yaochi. However, throughout history, only one or two Holy Maidens have actually married out. Moreover, it is virtually impossible for someone like the Azure Emperor to conquer her through strength alone.

"The Holy Maiden of Yaochi..." Ye Yu murmured, then whispered, "How could she be inside Qian'er's body?"

"It was probably not long ago that Mu Zhian met her in the grotto of the Pilgrimage Temple."

The old man paused slightly at this point, then said, "Before the cave closes, go back to the cave again."

"The existence of the Azure Emperor is the greatest treasure of that cave heaven, but we can still get a share of it."

……

The fairy in the green dress was light and graceful, like an immortal, her eyes fixed on Ye Lingxuan.

Her eyes held a hint of doubt, clearly surprised by the other party's confident and certain statement that he could obtain the Reincarnation Water.

However, she could sense that what the other person had just said was not an exaggeration at all, as if they were just talking about something very ordinary.

It gives the impression of saying: "Do you want rebirth water? I'll go get you a bucket..." That's the feeling.

At this moment, her emerald eyes were incredibly deep, reflecting Ye Lingxuan's figure and the scene of her talking with Mu Zhian.

"Brother Mu, I hope I haven't caused you any trouble?" Ye Lingxuan's hair fluttered in the wind, her purple dress billowing, highlighting her slender figure.

She bent over with her hands behind her back, gazing at Mu Zhi'an. Although she seemed to be asking a question, Mu Zhi'an understood the meaning behind her words: praise me quickly.

The girl was at a somewhat proud age, wanting to be praised by the person she liked, but not wanting to express it directly, so she used this roundabout way.

"You came just in time, thanks to you." After saying that, Mu Zhian reached out and gently placed his hand on Ye Lingxuan's delicate and beautiful face. Looking at her smiling face and her soft lips that exuded a faint fragrance as they opened and closed, he was momentarily moved.

It's a pity the occasion isn't right, otherwise we could test whether her very existence counts as a reincarnation potion...

Seemingly sensing the deep affection and passion in Mu Zhi'an's eyes, Ye Lingxuan felt a little shy. She quietly looked away, avoiding Mu Zhi'an's gaze, and whispered, "W-what's wrong?"

"You previously said that you basically grew up soaking in reincarnation water... So, wouldn't your very existence be considered reincarnation water?" Mu Zhian humbly inquired.

If Ye Lingxuan herself is considered part of the Reincarnation Water, then logically he should have been able to sense it too, considering he'd kissed Lingxuan a few times before...

Or does kissing not count...?

The girl, who looked no more than sixteen or seventeen, seemed to sense that Mu Zhian was thinking about something strange. Her face flushed a lovely red, and she whispered, "What are you thinking about?"

Could a naturally born spirit possibly sense other people's evil intentions...? Mu Zhian shook his head and said, "I wasn't thinking anything, don't worry about it..."

At this moment, the fairy in the green dress suddenly spoke up: "Born with a spiritual body... are you the saintess of the forbidden zone?"

She had seen several generations of holy maidens from forbidden zones in the past, all of whom were born with spiritual bodies. But she had never seen a spiritual body like Ye Lingxuan's that exuded such a friendly aura before.

Ye Lingxuan then came to her senses. She barely suppressed her shyness and nodded politely, saying, "Greetings, Senior Azure Emperor. Back in the forbidden area, I often heard my clansmen mention the name of the Azure Emperor."

So she really is the Holy Maiden of the Forbidden Zone? No wonder she has such confidence... The fairy in the green dress suddenly realized.

After all, the Reincarnation Water belonged to her family, so Ye Lingxuan was naturally confident that she could obtain it.

"But if the Lord of the Forbidden Zone knew your purpose for wanting the Reincarnation Water, would he still be willing to let you take it away?" Mu Zhian suddenly asked.

Ye Lingxuan raised her eyebrows slightly, clearly understanding Mu Zhian's meaning.

Given Ye Lingxuan's relationship with Mu Zhian, she naturally wanted to help her Mu-gege (older brother Mu).

But ultimately, there is no connection between Mu Zhian and the Lord of the Forbidden Zone... at least not yet.

If the Azure Emperor were to recast the cauldron using the Reincarnation Water in the future, there would be another female emperor of the same level in the Nine Provinces, and the status of the Yaochi Holy Land would be elevated dramatically.

The pie within the Eastern Continent may then need to be redistributed.

This is probably not what the master of the penalty area wants to see.

“I’ll be going back to the restricted area in a little over a month, and I’ll talk to my dad about it then,” Ye Lingxuan said.

If her father finds out what she's planning to do with the Reincarnation Water, it might cause some trouble and require some effort... But for Brother Mu, it's all worth it.

Mu Zhian shook his head and said, "If possible, let your father and I explain this matter to each other in person."

He wanted the Reincarnation Water, but from the beginning, Mu Zhian never intended to do it through Ye Lingxuan.

After all, it involves interests, and if they use Ye Lingxuan to obtain the Reincarnation Water, their relationship will become somewhat distorted.

If Ye Lingxuan were the current ruler of the forbidden zone, Mu Zhian would not hesitate to accept this opportunity to live off her.

However, if one were to seek help from the Lord of the Forbidden Zone through Ye Lingxuan's connections... that would be a completely different matter.

After all, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone is his future father-in-law. If the Lord of the Forbidden Zone finds out that he used Ye Lingxuan's relationship to obtain the Reincarnation Water, even with the Azure Emperor behind him in the future, there will still be some trouble.

"Brother Mu, please rely on me for a bit. Okay, okay?" Ye Lingxuan was shy, and as she said this, her face turned red and she lowered her head, refusing to look at Mu Zhian.

Lingxuan is so cute with her shy demeanor... Mu Zhian said softly, "I want to rely on you, but I don't want to ask others for help, even if that person is your father."

Ye Lingxuan paused for a moment, clearly understanding Mu Zhian's meaning.

She looked up at Mu Zhian and asked, "Brother Mu, do you intend to go to the forbidden area to retrieve the Reincarnation Water yourself?"

Mu Zhian shook his head and said, "I originally planned to accompany you to the forbidden area. I'll take this opportunity to talk to your father about Senior Qingdi."

Ye Lingxuan said softly, "My father is not a great philanthropist; he won't be so merciful as to help others."

If your dad knew you were talking about him like that, he'd probably grumble about how daughters grow up and leave home... Mu Zhi'an thought to himself, then laughed and said, "He naturally has no reason to help Fairy Sister... so he needs a reason to be willing to help."

The fairy in the green dress gazed at Mu Zhi'an with gentle eyes and asked, "Young friend, what are your thoughts?"

"Sister just said in the cave that even if you are gone, the demons in the cave will perish within a thousand years, right?" Mu Zhian asked.

The fairy in the green dress gazed at Mu Zhian with her beautiful, watery eyes, exuding both the aloofness of a fairy and an inexplicable allure.

She smiled and nodded: "His condition isn't much better than mine."

"Why do you ask this, young friend?"

Mu Zhi'an looked up and met the bright eyes of the fairy in the green dress, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Could I see it?"

Want to see that demon...?

Looking at the gentle smile of the young man before her, the fairy in the green dress even thought for a moment that she had misheard.

After all, she was the one who sealed the demon, but now Mu Zhi'an is asking her to go find the sealed demon.

After a moment's thought, the fairy in the green dress nodded slightly and said, "In that case, I'll go back with you."

Her Daoist aura allowed her to detect whether Mu Zhi'an was lying, and now, judging from his honest appearance, it was not difficult to see that he was upright and honest.

Since that's the case, it wouldn't hurt to grant him this small request.

After all, it's impossible for that demon to break the seal now.

Moreover, he had been too embarrassed to ask about the innate furnace cauldron before, but this opportunity allowed him to personally confirm its appearance.

The fairy in the green dress's eyes flickered slightly, and the next moment, she floated away from Ye Qian's body, and a slender figure appeared in the peach blossom forest.

Mu Zhian couldn't help but glance over at that moment. This fairy was wearing a blue dress embroidered with dark patterns. Her face was exquisite, like a fairy descended from heaven. Her aloof demeanor was most likely to arouse men's desire to conquer.

At least at this moment, Mu Zhian did indeed have some bold ideas in his mind.

It's just a pity that someone like that can't do anything without a strong emotional connection.

After all, the other party is an empress at the Dao Integration Realm.

At the same time, Ye Qian opened her eyes from her daze and, upon seeing the fairy in the green dress before her, immediately said gratefully, "Thank you for the inheritance you bestowed upon me, senior!"

The fairy in the green dress smiled sweetly. The proportions of her shoulders and neck were just right, and she was absolutely beautiful no matter how you looked at her. But what was most captivating was her slender waist that could be encircled by one hand, and her long, jade-like legs hidden under the green dress.

"We are very compatible; this is fate. In the future, carrying forward the legacy I have given you will be the best way to repay me." She spoke softly, her voice extremely beautiful, as if ripples were spreading through her words, carrying a serene and enchanting charm.

For some reason, Mu Zhian felt that the fairy in the green dress had a hazy, ethereal form, giving people a beautiful yet difficult-to-see feeling. This made him want to reach out and touch her face to see if the fairy's form was an illusion or a real one.

At this moment, the fairy in the green dress turned to look at Mu Zhian, and hesitated slightly.

After a moment, she smiled faintly and said, "Young friend, I need to reside in your cauldron for the time being. When your spiritual sense enters your cauldron, please do not resist."

Mu Zhian nodded slightly: "This junior understands."

The fairy's voice was so subtle and ethereal, as if it were a celestial sound that did not exist in this world. I wonder what kind of sound she would make when she was shy. I really want to marry her... This thought popped into my mind.

Just as Mu Zhian thought of this, he felt his vision blur slightly.
