It turns out, they were the main characters.

Oh well...

Seeing the blush on the pretty face of the fairy in the green dress, and the way she slowly approached him, Mu Zhian decided to give up thinking.

He didn't care, since he wouldn't lose out anyway.

……

One hour later.

Mu Zhian wrapped one arm around the slender waist of the fairy in the green dress, silently enjoying the warmth.

"Fairy, do you need anything else?" Mu Zhian asked.

The fairy in the green dress gently shook her head and said reservedly, "Considering your health... you can take it slow for now, there's no rush."

For an hour, the innate furnace repeatedly absorbed the spiritual energy from the bath and then repeatedly handed it over to the fairy in the green dress.

Next, as long as the fairy in the green dress uses the cauldron temporarily formed by the Heavenly Phoenix Fruit to reassemble her true cauldron, Mu Zhian's task will be completed.

Mu Zhian laughed and said, "I don't mind. I'm still young and can handle it."

At this point, attention was quickly drawn to her good looks.

Her once-piled hair was now slightly disheveled, with strands falling across her delicate oval face, high, straight nose, and slightly pursed red lips. At first glance, she exuded a charm that she had never possessed before, a captivating blend of purity and allure.

Noticing Mu Zhian's gaze, the fairy in the green dress looked straight ahead, avoiding his eyes, seemingly wanting to maintain her usual indifference and the fairy demeanor she usually wore when she was aloof.

Looking at her aloof demeanor, Mu Zhian felt a mischievous urge and couldn't help but lean forward slightly to kiss the fairy in the green dress on the cheek. Her skin was snow-white and delicate, exuding a faint fragrance.

The fairy in the green dress trembled slightly, and an ambiguous atmosphere filled the space between them. Her cheeks gradually burned, and her eyes revealed shame, confusion, and an attempt to maintain her aloofness... as well as a gradually glazed look.

She turned her head slightly to look at Mu Zhian and said softly, "If you continue like this, I will no longer consider your health."

Mu Zhian scoffed inwardly, thinking, "What can you do to me?"

He gave a gentle and bright smile: "I don't need to rest anymore, fairy, you don't need to worry about my health."

He wasn't worried and continued kissing her.

The fairy in the green dress glanced at Mu Zhi'an, her eyes gleaming slightly.

A hint of emotion welled up in her eyes.

……

The next morning.

Mu Zhian leaned against the bathtub, looking up at the ceiling of the hall, seemingly pondering the meaning of human existence.

The fairy in the green dress placed her cool, delicate hand on the back of his hand, her stunningly beautiful face so close to his. She kissed his cheek, her eyes revealing a tenderness she had never shown before.

"What's wrong?" Seemingly noticing Mu Zhi'an's gaze, the fairy in the green dress asked.

"I feel like this isn't you..." Mu Zhian was a little surprised and thought that the fairy in the green dress might have been replaced. Yesterday she was still very reserved, but her behavior later was a little strange, and she was too proactive.

"My personality will indeed be somewhat affected during the process of condensing the cauldron, but there's no need to worry. Once the cauldron is fully condensed, I will return to my original state." The fairy in the green dress had a faint smile in her eyes, which was somewhat charming.

What's the principle behind this...? Does the process of condensing energy in the cauldron affect one's personality?

Are you sure you're not taking advantage of my naivety and lack of experience...?

"Are you done for?" The fairy in the green dress's clear and melodious voice lingered in my ears, mixed with a faint fragrance that was refreshing and soothing.

"Heh, you jest, fairy. There's nothing that can't be done." Mu Zhian naturally disagreed and immediately retorted.

It was rare to see the fairy in the green dress being so proactive, so he naturally wouldn't hold back.

late at night.

Outside the mountains and forests, the silvery moonlight shone down, and occasionally the sounds of wild animals darting into the jungle could be heard.

"Fairy, why don't you meditate for a while and let me catch my breath...?" Mu Zhian had no choice but to speak up.

The fairy in the green dress slowly shook her head and said softly, "Time is of the essence. I need to condense the cauldron as soon as possible and eliminate all troubles. I cannot be lazy."

Mu Zhian: "..."

Hmm... it doesn't matter. Such a stunningly beautiful fairy is actively seeking his affection. Even if it's tiring, so what?

Mu Zhian gritted his teeth, unafraid, determined to use his refined divine body to rival the Dao.

……

late at night.

Yaochi Sacred Land.

The Queen Mother of the West sat before her throne, quietly sensing the awe-inspiring power brought about by the activation of the formation.

The Heavenly Phoenix Tree has just borne its first fruit, and although the Azure Emperor has consumed it, we cannot let our guard down.

The remaining fruits must not be taken away by the remnants of the previous generation of demon cultivators.

As early as yesterday, when the fairy in the green dress and Mu Zhian left, the Yaochi Holy Land had already activated the formation. Once a demon cultivator enters, the formation will directly shatter the opponent.

At this moment, a female disciple from Yaochi walked over gracefully and said, "Queen Mother, the Vice Pavilion Master of Xuantian Pavilion and the Pavilion Master of Zihong Pavilion are outside requesting an audience."

"Xuantian Pavilion and Zihong Pavilion...?"

The Queen Mother of the West pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Please invite them in."

In the Eastern Continent, the Yaochi Holy Land also has close ties with some forces, among which the Xuantian Pavilion and the Zihong Pavilion are two major forces. In the past, the three major forces have cooperated quite a bit.

The fact that the two cabinets are coming at this time suggests that they have some important matters to discuss.

……

the other side.

Time slips away silently, and before we know it, another day has passed.

Mu Zhian pushed open the ancient and heavy iron door of the main hall and slowly walked out of the hall.

He held his waist with one hand, raised his head, looked at the dazzling sunlight, and as if reborn, slowly let out a sigh of relief, his tense body relaxing as well.

He used to think that suppressing a Dao Integration Realm expert with his Refined Spirit Body would not be a problem.

But now it seems... I might need to practice some more.

As Mu Zhian left the main hall, the iron gate of the hall slowly closed by itself.

Then, a formation quietly opened, concealing everything inside the hall.

This is the formation of the ancestral land, which was also personally created by the Azure Emperor.

She will be able to condense her true cauldron and return to the Dao Integration Realm in less than half a month.

Outside the main hall, several elders noticed Mu Zhi'an and looked at him with strange expressions.

Mu Zhian arrived the morning before yesterday and didn't leave until this morning... Two whole days have passed.

Given his current demeanor... it's hard not to suspect something.

Mu Zhian paid no attention to the strange looks he received. He simply bowed to the elders, collected his thoughts, took out three Rejuvenation Pills, swallowed them, and flew away from the ancestral land on his sword.

He was still somewhat concerned about the matter of the previous generation of demon cultivators and wanted to investigate it further.

According to the Demon Queen, as long as there are demon cultivators nearby, the demon mark in his body will react.

If the demon cultivators are not in the city but gathered in certain mountains and forests outside the city, as long as their numbers are sufficient, the demon realm mark can still react.

However, he had been to both inside and outside the city for the past ten days and had not found any trace of the previous generation of demon cultivators.

This also means that the remnants of demon cultivators under these old demons either did not come to the Yaochi Holy Land, or came very little and never went to the Holy King City. In addition, they concealed their aura, so the demon realm mark did not react.

Regardless of the possibility, further investigation is needed.

Of course, before that, he needs to let his body recover a bit more...

I never expected that the fairy in the green dress, who usually seems so cold and aloof, would be even more enthusiastic than me once she got into character… Mu Zhian thought to himself.

He didn't really believe what the fairy in the green dress was saying, that condensing the cauldron would cause a slight change in personality... Wasn't that just fooling a child?

Of course, some people who blindly worship the Green Emperor might actually believe her words.

But Mu Zhian clearly didn't believe it.

Wei Mengrou followed silently behind Mu Zhian, without disturbing his thoughts.

This maid was always so reassuring, yet even now she still held her young master in utter contempt, which left Mu Zhian somewhat helpless.

Leaving the ancestral land of Yaochi, Mu Zhian flew towards Yaochi on his sword amidst the lush green forests.

Nearly half an hour later, he suddenly felt a slight burning sensation in his chest.

The demon realm mark is reacting!

Mu Zhian's eyes flickered slightly, and he slowed down his flight speed as he looked around.

They did not detect the slightest trace of a demon cultivator.

He pondered for a moment, then calmly asked into the empty forest, "How long are you going to hide?"

There was still no response after he finished speaking.

But Mu Zhian was equally patient, half-suspended in front of the mountain forest.

Silent and pretending to be an expert.

"Young Master Mu is indeed quite perceptive. I had completely suppressed my aura, yet you still managed to detect me?"

A moment later, a shadow twisted slightly, and then a masked man with a ferocious and terrifying appearance silently appeared in sight.

The fifth level of divine refining?

Mu Zhian could tell the man's cultivation level at a glance. Two days ago, he had cultivated with the fairy in the green dress and, with the aid of a medicinal bath, had also reached the second level of the Refining Spirit realm. In addition, due to his innate spiritual body, he could roughly judge the level of some Refining Spirit cultivators.

"A demon cultivator?" Mu Zhian asked.

The man sneered: "Isn't Young Master Mu asking a question he already knows the answer to?"

"You must be a demon cultivator under the command of the first Demon Emperor," Mu Zhian said calmly.

The man grinned and said, "That's right, we've come here precisely for His Majesty the Demon Emperor's grand plan for revival."

"Young Master Mu, you promised to bring the Heavenly Phoenix Fruit to His Majesty the Demon Emperor, but now you are just watching the Azure Emperor take the Heavenly Phoenix Fruit away. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled faintly: "I have already sworn to His Majesty the Demon Emperor that I would obtain the Heavenly Phoenix Fruit and the Rebirth Water for him. Do you think I would dare to break my oath?"
