It turns out, they were the main characters.

However, his gaze drifted intentionally or unintentionally to Mu Zhian, who was standing to the side.

The fairy in the green dress did not stop them from proposing marriage, which meant that she did not intend to keep Mu Zhi'an in the Yaochi Holy Land in the future, which put them at ease.

This is easy to judge. If the Azure Emperor wanted to keep Mu Zhi'an, he could simply marry one of the fairies in Yaochi to Mu Zhi'an to keep him there.

But she didn't do that; instead, she wanted Mu Zhian to make the choice himself.

It must be said that he truly deserves the title of Azure Emperor. Although naturally born furnaces are extremely rare, the Azure Emperor still possesses a broad vision. He has never used his power to oppress others, nor has he ever thought of using naturally born furnaces for any purpose.

As for what the Azure Emperor just said, Mu Zhi'an said he had no plans to get married... That's what he said, but it's probably just because this young man has too little experience and hasn't seen many beautiful women.

The best time for them to invite Mu Zhi'an to visit their family will be when Mu Zhi'an leaves Yaochi Holy Land.

Once Mu Zhi'an sees his young lady, won't he be completely bewitched?

The elders of the major ancient families all had the same thought in mind: they were determined to take down Mu Zhian.

Afterwards, everyone presented their congratulatory gifts and then took their leave. Mu Zhian glanced at the departing elders, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

He knew there must be demon cultivators among these people, but... who exactly were they?

Ultimately, how could a demon cultivator brazenly appear right under the Azure Emperor's nose without fear of being detected and slapped to death?

Or is it that the other party is confident enough to escape right under the Green Emperor's nose?

However, this is unlikely, unless the other party is on the same level as the Azure Emperor.

However, in the demon realm, such a being should only exist with that beautiful snake woman.

Mu Zhian's thoughts suddenly stopped, and he stared blankly in the direction Wang Ying had left.

Could it be her...?

……

"After this, these ancient families, whether they were hostile at the beginning or not, will probably not act rashly again in the future," the Holy Maiden of Yaochi said softly, watching the departing elders and young disciples.

These ancient aristocratic families visited Yaochi for two reasons: first, to propose marriage, and second, to see what the Azure Emperor's current physical condition was like.

Originally, in order to protect the Heavenly Phoenix Tree, the Yaochi Holy Land used the Yaochi barrier, and many people were even prepared to sacrifice themselves.

But this time, the Azure Emperor's move swept away all the troubles.

Seeing the Azure Emperor's condition, even if Yaochi removes the barrier, no one will dare to rashly attempt to damage the Heavenly Phoenix Tree.

Fairy Yao Xin rested her chin on her hand, looked at Mu Zhi'an, blinked her bright eyes, and said, "Your innate furnace is really popular, but are you really not planning to accept invitations from other ancient families?"

"You saw that celestial beauty from the Wang family just now, right? She's charming and has a great figure. The other talented young women from the ancient aristocratic families are all very beautiful too. I've seen a few of them before," Yao Xin continued.

Mu Zhian snapped out of his reverie, shook his head, and laughed, "I have no interest in finding a Daoist partner."

"Besides, a Daoist partner should be found through chance encounters, not through introductions from others, right?" Mu Zhian said with a smile, looking at the girl who was about the same age as Ye Lingxuan.

Girls of this age often have romantic fantasies, so Mu Zhian's words struck a chord with Yao Xin, causing her to subconsciously nod in agreement.

The Queen Mother of Yaochi, standing to the side, instructed the elders not to let their guard down and to make sure to keep a close watch on the Heavenly Phoenix Tree.

Mu Zhian listened to their conversation from the side. After a while, seeing that the fairy in the green dress was about to leave, he followed her and left Yaochi.

"Fairy sister, if someone invites me to their clan later, wouldn't it be too offensive if I refuse?" Mu Zhian looked at the graceful fairy in the green dress not far from him and suddenly asked with a worried expression.

"It's all up to you. If you don't want to accept it, then refuse. I'll still be here for you no matter what happens," the fairy in the green dress said with a gentle smile.

"The fairy sister is so kind to me," Mu Zhian exclaimed sincerely.

The fairy in the green dress glanced at Mu Zhi'an with her bright and clear eyes, which were as clear as a cold pool, and said, "Everything is cause and effect. In the end, it is because you helped me first that this cause and effect came about."

If Mu Zhian hadn't gone to the Pilgrimage Hall and brought her out of that grotto, and hadn't gone to the forbidden zone to obtain the Reincarnation Water afterward, she wouldn't be who she is today.

"It is my honor to serve the fairy."

Mu Zhian looked respectful, but his eyes were filled with deep admiration as he gazed at her.

The two chatted for a while longer, and seeing the palace in front of them, Mu Zhian's mind stirred slightly. He originally wanted to go into the room with the fairy in the green dress.

However, after the fairy in the green dress stepped over the threshold and entered the house, she chuckled lightly and quickly regained her usual fairy demeanor: "Go back and meditate. See you tomorrow."

Mu Zhian's innate furnace is completely empty now. If he goes into the room with her, she will try to do something wicked again. As a result, it will take a long time for the innate furnace to fully recover. Therefore, it is better to let him stay alone.

As soon as the fairy in the green dress finished speaking, a gentle breeze swept by, lightly pushing Mu Zhi'an out of the room.

Mu Zhian stood bewildered in the wind, only able to see the beautiful back of the graceful and elegant woman. The breeze rustled her skirt, subtly revealing the captivating curve of her hips.

Then the door closed.

"This woman... she turned her back on me the moment she got out of bed." Mu Zhian stood at the doorway in astonishment, and it took him a while to come to his senses. He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh inwardly.

Fine, once the innate furnace has recovered, I'll give her a good beating.

Next time, let her experience what it feels like to be kept in suspense... When Mu Zhian thought of this, he suddenly transmitted his voice to the fairy in the green dress inside the room: "By the way, among the people who came to Yaochi Holy Land today, there seems to be a demon cultivator among them."

"Do you know who the other person is?" came the reply from inside the room from the fairy in the green dress, seemingly with some interest.

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment, then transmitted his voice in return: "This guess may not be correct, but from the past to the present, I have only ever felt this kind of seductive charm from one person..."

Mu Zhian transmitted something to Mu Zhian.

Inside the room, however, there was silence for a long time.

"Go meditate first," the fairy in the green dress said softly. "If nothing unexpected happens, she will come to see you soon."

Mu Zhian said no more, left the room, found a guest room near the palace, and focused on meditation and cultivation.

That night, the spiritual energy between the Azure Emperor's palace and the outside world formed a rainbow-like bridge, continuously flowing into Mu Zhi'an's body and never fading away.

The next morning, Mu Zhian opened his eyes from meditation, feeling the abundant spiritual energy in the innate furnace, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh inwardly.

Judging from this, it will take at least two more days for the spiritual energy to fully recover.

The fairy in the green dress looked beautiful and graceful, but probably no one would have thought that she could absorb all the spiritual energy from his innate furnace in less than a night.

This ability is far more powerful than her vines...

When Mu Zhian thought of this, he closed his eyes and entered a meditative state once again.

He needs to quickly restore the spiritual energy of the innate furnace before he can serve the fairy in the green dress again.

Similarly, his 'Eight Desolations Dream Map' can also be evolved through the physique of the fairy in the green dress.

Mu Zhian had just closed his eyes when he suddenly seemed to sense something, looked up at the closed door, and said, "Sister Mengrou, what brings you here?"

The door opened, and sure enough, Wei Mengrou came into view.

"Why did you come? Did you miss me?" Mu Zhian asked with a smile.

Wei Mengrou glanced at her young master's sunny smile and said calmly, "Someone asked me to help them, saying they have something very important to discuss with you."

Besides the Azure Emperor and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, only the maid Wei Mengrou was allowed to enter Mu Zhian's palace.

But who specifically asked Sister Mengrou to see me...? Mu Zhian hesitated and asked, "Is it someone I know?"

Logically speaking, he shouldn't know anyone in Yaochi... Judging from this, it seems that he doesn't know the other person, but the other person knows him?

“Wang Ying, the apple of the eye of the Wang family of Dongzhou,” Wei Mengrou explained to Mu Zhian.

It's her... Mu Zhian pondered for a moment, then said, "Bring her over here."

Judging from this, my guess should be correct.

After waiting in the room for a while, Mu Zhian met Wang Ying, the daughter of the Wang family whom he had met the day before.

With a languid and alluring air, and delicate features, Wang Ying licked her seductive red lips and smiled, "Young Master Mu, it's really difficult to see you."

As she spoke, she gracefully walked into the room, crossed her long, jade-like legs, and gazed tenderly at Mu Zhian with her alluring eyes, exuding an indescribable charm.

"Miss Wang Ying, what brings you here?" Mu Zhian decided to get straight to the point, his eyes fixed on the beautiful woman in the red dress before him.

"Why are you in such a hurry, Young Master Mu? This is so unromantic," Wang Yingmei said with a smile, her charming eyes gazing tenderly at Mu Zhi'an with a gentle, affectionate look.

“Miss Wang Ying…you know me, right?” Mu Zhian poured a cup of tea for the young lady of the Wang family, then looked up and gazed at her.

Those captivating eyes were incredibly alluring; the moment you met her gaze, you felt as if your soul had been stolen away.

“No…” Mu Zhian quickly shook his head slightly, gazing at Wang Ying’s flawless and beautiful face, and said, “Should I address you as Your Majesty?”

Wang Ying's smile faded slightly. Her delicate red embroidered shoes hooked onto her feet, and her slender fingertips lightly traced her smooth, white thighs before finally reaching across the table to Mu Zhi'an's face. She said with a charming smile, "Being too smart isn't always a good thing, you know?"

“If I were your enemy, even if you were in the Azure Emperor’s palace right now, you would still be silenced.”

Mu Zhian smiled helplessly, "Because I wasn't entirely sure of Her Majesty the Empress's identity, I took extra precautions. I apologize."

Wang Ying, or rather, the demon queen attached to Wang Ying, narrowed her eyes, her alluring red eyes gazing at Mu Zhi'an, her red lips slightly parted, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Just then, a clear, melodious voice, like heavenly music, floated lightly through the room.

"Why do you have to sneak in like this? Can't we just talk about it together?"

Wang Ying glanced slightly to her side.

Inside the room, a beautiful fairy in a green dress appeared gracefully in sight.

Chapter 216 The Fruit of the Heavenly Phoenix Tree (6K)

What is the Demon Queen doing in the Eastern Continent?

Mu Zhian stared at the woman before him, his mind filled with doubts.

After all, she was a demon emperor who could rest easy in the Northern Continent, but she came to the Eastern Continent at this sensitive time and even seemed to possess a young girl. It would be impossible for Mu Zhian not to care.

This is also why he previously 'reminded' the fairy in the green dress to appear at the right time and see what this demon queen was up to.

As the fairy in the green dress appeared, Wang Ying, or rather the demon queen attached to Wang Ying, slightly raised her eyes and looked at the fairy in the green dress with a hint of surprise.

"I didn't expect that even though your aura is so weak now, you can still sense my presence."

Her words were filled with sincere admiration. To avoid being discovered, she had concealed the secrets of heaven, and what descended this time was merely a wisp of spiritual consciousness, which even attached itself to a female cultivator in the Refining Spirit Realm.

It was quite surprising that the Azure Emperor noticed this immediately under these circumstances.

“Even if the secrets of heaven were concealed, I could still sense your aura.” The fairy in the green dress gazed at Wang Ying and said, “The dignified Queen of the Demon Realm has come to my palace without a word. Is there something important that matters to discuss?”

Wang Ying smiled faintly and said softly, "I just planned to chat with my subordinates and catch up. It has nothing to do with you."

"A subordinate?" The fairy in the green dress glanced at Mu Zhi'an and said, "He's not a demon cultivator, so how could he be your subordinate?"

Wang Ying pursed her alluring red lips, slightly raised her eyelids, her eyes sparkling with charm, and said, "I met this little cultivator by chance in the past, and left the mark of the demon realm on him. Since then, he has been at my service."
