It turns out, they were the main characters.

Countless gazes were fixed on a certain direction in the mountains and forests. At this moment, the fairy in the green dress placed one hand on the back of Mu Zhi'an's head and kissed Mu Zhi'an's lips with her small red lips.

Even though they were too far away to see clearly, the disciples of the forbidden area could roughly tell what they were doing from their movements.

The silence lasted for an unknown amount of time before someone finally broke it with a labored voice:

"If I'm not mistaken, that fairy is...kissing Mu Zhi'an?"

If the previous speculation is correct, this fairy in the green dress is very likely a powerhouse of the same level as the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, but at this moment she is being intimate with a junior cultivator in front of the Reincarnation Pool?

And this happened just before the tribulation lightning was about to strike...?

At this moment, many people looked at Mu Zhian with barely concealed jealousy, feeling a sour taste in their mouths, as if they had eaten a lemon.

Judging from the current scene, it is clear that the relationship between Mu Zhian and the fairy in the green dress is not that of an elder and a junior... but rather a closer relationship.

And if I remember correctly, he and Miss Lingxuan should be Daoist partners...

In other words, even though he already had a forbidden zone saintess, he still had a close relationship with another woman?

Although from the current scene, Mu Zhian seems to be 'passive', while the Empress is the one taking the initiative.

This scene not only caused the disciples of the forbidden area to fall into deep thought, but even the elders standing nearby stared blankly.

How could a powerful cultivator at the Dao Integration Realm take a fancy to a mere cultivator at the Spirit Refining Realm...?

From this perspective, even if one resides within Mu Zhian's body every day and communicates with him daily, one shouldn't become his Daoist partner...

While everyone was in a daze, not far behind them, two girls were also watching this scene.

"Is she really the Azure Emperor...?" Ye Siyu murmured softly after a brief moment of stunned silence.

Then, she immediately realized what was happening and turned around to look at Ye Lingxuan behind her.

At this moment, Ye Lingxuan, dressed in a purple dress, stood calmly on the sword, her expression indifferent, scrutinizing the fairy in a green dress who was gently embracing Mu Zhian in front of the Reincarnation Pool.

I almost forgot, Mu Zhian and Ling Xuan are Daoist partners, and now seeing this scene...

Thinking of this, Ye Siyu tentatively asked, "Lingxuan..."

He seemed to want to say something comforting.

"Sister Siyu, you don't need to comfort me. They don't really want to be intimate," Ye Lingxuan said expressionlessly.

As if knowing what Ye Siyu was thinking, Ye Lingxuan raised her head, stared at her aunt, and continued, "Have you forgotten what Brother Mu's constitution is, Sister Siyu?"

A thought flashed through Ye Siyu's mind, and she understood Ye Lingxuan's meaning, saying, "A natural furnace... So, the Azure Emperor is using this method to extract spiritual energy for his own use?"

Ye Lingxuan smiled calmly: "Fairy Sister doesn't have a cauldron right now, so she can only draw spiritual energy from other people. And the only one who can do this is Brother Mu."

The spiritual energy of a natural furnace can only be passively provided; the stronger one is, the more spiritual energy one can obtain.

Mu Zhian is currently at the Refining Spirit Realm, but the spiritual energy in his innate furnace has already reached a level above the Returning to Emptiness Realm.

As an existence like the Azure Emperor, he naturally had a way to obtain a large amount of spiritual energy from Mu Zhian's innate furnace, even if it was just from a kiss.

"Although it's for spiritual energy, in the end, they're just kissing," Ye Siyu muttered softly, gazing in the direction of the Reincarnation Pool.

"..."

Ye Lingxuan almost lost her composure and smile.

She took a shallow breath and slowly exhaled.

Then she said calmly, "It's alright, I was already prepared."

However, when she inadvertently looked away, Ye Lingxuan's seemingly indifferent expression revealed a rare hint of anger.

It's just kissing now, but what about after that?

Could it be that Brother Mu really wants to be with her...?

After some unpleasant images flashed through Ye Lingxuan's mind, she silently withdrew her gaze.

For a moment, the people outside the mountains had different thoughts, but they were all astonished and incredulous at the fairy in the green dress's actions.

Not only the people in front of the mountain forest, but even Mu Zhian, the person involved at this moment, was somewhat taken aback.

Then, Mu Zhian slowly typed a "?".

what's the situation?

Was I taken advantage of?!

He had long coveted the fairy in the green dress, and he didn't resist the intimacy they were currently experiencing at all.

However, Mu Zhian was still somewhat bewildered by the opponent's sudden 'sneak attack'.

Feeling the soft, warm lips of the fairy in the green dress, and the slightly cool touch of her lips, the faint fragrance emanating from her body wafted into Mu Zhi'an's nostrils. Even Mu Zhi'an, who often wandered among flowers in the past, couldn't help but be somewhat intoxicated by it.

But when he heard the rumble of thunder, Mu Zhi'an was quickly awakened and was about to send a telepathic message to ask the fairy in the green dress.

Just then, I suddenly heard her voice in my ear: "Relax, loosen your teeth."

Holy crap, lady, don't you know what kind of situation you're in? You're going to get struck by lightning!

Just as Mu Zhian thought of this, he met the bright and charming blue eyes of the fairy in the blue dress and quickly realized what was going on.

The lightning tribulation is currently gathering, so why would the fairy in the green dress suddenly become intimate with him under these circumstances?

...Upon closer examination, the seemingly illogical actions of the fairy in the green dress are actually quite reasonable.

Mu Zhian could sense that some of the spiritual energy within his innate furnace was being guided out by the fairy in the green dress, indirectly becoming her spiritual energy.

Was she preparing for this tribulation...? Mu Zhian gradually calmed down, and his body relaxed as he silently savored the soft touch of the fairy in the green dress's lips.

Then, emboldened, he put one arm around the slender waist of the fairy in the green dress and gave her a gentle hug.

It was clear that the fairy in the green dress trembled slightly, and she half-opened her hazy eyes, giving Mu Zhian a long, wistful look.

Then she closed her eyes again, silently feeling the brief surge of spiritual energy within her body, and a sense of nostalgia welled up in her heart.

She hadn't felt this spiritual energy filling her body in a long time.

Boom!

A sudden clap of thunder erupted in the sky, and a thunder dragon roared beneath the heavens, as if it wanted to smash the two people who were making love under the lightning tribulation.

After an unknown amount of time, the fairy in the green dress slowly opened her eyes and withdrew her delicate hand that had been pressing down on the back of Mu Zhi'an's head. Her originally moist and misty green eyes had become clear and bright, regaining their usual coldness.

As their lips parted, the fairy in the green dress gently exhaled a warm, fragrant breath. She lightly touched Mu Zhi'an's lips with her fingertips and wiped the corner of his mouth.

If you're sneaking food... you should at least know how to clean it up.

"I'm sorry, I did this without asking." The fairy in the green dress had a languid quality she didn't usually have in her voice, which was as melodious as a fairy's. She also had an indescribable charm.

Mu Zhian shook his head and said, "I know what Fairy Sister's purpose is."

Finally, he raised his head and gazed into the eyes of the fairy in the green dress, and said softly, "Besides, anything is worth doing for you."

He naturally knew that some of the spiritual energy in his innate furnace had been absorbed by the fairy in the green dress, but Mu Zhi'an had not resisted at the time.

In that situation, it's unlikely that any normal man could resist.

However... being ambushed is still a bit unpleasant.

Mu Zhian looked at the fairy in the green dress, nodded slightly, and then turned around. Her slender back and the faint silver glow on her snow-white skin made him suddenly take two steps forward and call out, "By the way, fairy sister."

As soon as the fairy in the green dress turned around, she saw Mu Zhi'an lean forward and kiss her fair face.

Then, under the gentle gaze of the fairy in the green dress, Mu Zhian grinned and said, "That evens things out."

The fairy in the green dress ambushed him, and he ambushed the fairy in the green dress in return... That's fair.

The fairy in the green dress slightly raised her eyelids and glanced casually at the outside of the forest. Looking at Mu Zhian's nonchalant smile that seemed to say, "You didn't expect me to launch a sneak attack, did you?", she felt a strange sense of pleasure.

She pursed her lips, a slight smile in her eyes, and said in a calm, still voice, "Step back, lest you be caught in the lightning tribulation."

Mu Zhian possesses a natural spiritual body, but being so far away, coupled with the destructive aura of the lightning tribulation gradually accumulating power in front of the Reincarnation Pool, it is naturally difficult for people to perceive the situation outside.

When the fairy in the green dress took the initiative to kiss Mu Zhi'an, he could still be said to be 'innocent'.

what about now?

However, these are things to consider after we leave this place. As for now...

The fairy in the green dress looked up and gazed quietly at the vast lightning tribulation in mid-air, and the thunder dragon that was swallowing and spitting out clouds and mist in the tribulation clouds.

Her slightly accelerated heartbeat gradually subsided. The fairy in the green dress floated in front of the Reincarnation Pool, her toes lightly touching the surface of the pool, and raised her delicate hand.

A blue lotus slowly rose from her palm.

Mu Zhian stood at a distance, watching the Empress facing the tribulation alone. Her light dress fluttered in the fierce wind, her beautiful hair was lifted by the wind, and she exuded an aura that was enough to make most cultivators bow down in worship.

Only at this moment could Mu Zhian truly feel the terror of the fairy in the green dress.

"Was the spiritual energy just now enough?" Mu Zhian asked telepathically.

"enough."

The fairy in the green dress didn't look at him, calmly gazing at the sky: "It's just a nine-fold tribulation of lightning."

boom!

In mid-air, after swimming for a long time and accumulating countless spiritual energies, the thunder dragon finally unleashed a terrifying roar that shook the entire land.

On this day, the thunderous roar emanating from the lightning dragon caused countless cultivators to tremble.

Even though they knew the tribulation was not near them, they still trembled instinctively.

Mu Zhian leaned against a large tree, looked up at the fairy in the green dress in the distance, and resisted the urge to sit down.

Is this the physical tribulation of the Dao Integration Realm...?

Even if the second tribulation is much weaker after surviving the physical tribulation, it is still terrifying.

Outside the Reincarnation Pool, several elders gazed solemnly at the lightning tribulation.

The shock of the fairy in the green dress kissing Mu Zhian had not yet subsided when the destructive aura mixed in with the lightning tribulation caused everyone to tremble slightly. Some even regretted coming to such a place to watch the spectacle.

but……

Such a tribulation is something they might not be fortunate enough to witness a second time in their lifetime. If given another chance, they would still make the same choice.

"Such a tribulation lightning, she really is an empress at the Dao Integration Realm, isn't she?" someone in the crowd couldn't help but whisper, their voice trembling slightly.

"If one is not at the Dao Integration Realm, there shouldn't be such a terrifying tribulation of lightning," an elder beside him said slowly.

The voice also carried a hint of shock.
