It turns out, they were the main characters.

"If I don't occasionally teach him a lesson that leaves a deep impression, he won't learn his lesson," Wei Mengrou said, subtly praising her mistress.

Bai Ruoxi rested her fingertips on her chin, tilting her head slightly as she pondered Wei Mengrou's words.

"A memorable lesson..."

She suddenly chuckled softly: "I think it's fine if I don't do anything."

She turned to look at Wei Mengrou: "I'm a pretty easy person to talk to, but I might not be so sure about the other one."

Although she occasionally thinks of locking Mu Zhian in a dark room and has dark thoughts of keeping him by her side forever, Bai Ruoxi is, overall, a gentle and considerate girl.

But Gong Lianyue is different.

That Sword Palace Master was powerful and domineering; he was someone who would put his ideas into action.

If she were to refine her spirit and return to the void in the future, and fully awaken from her slumber... Mu Zhian's troubles would be over.

As for now... let's just consider it giving him a little 'freedom'.

……

late at night.

Because of the evil entity breaking the seal in the Holy Temple today, the cultivators in the sect have lost their desire to cultivate and are discussing the matter animatedly among themselves.

The Southern Wilderness Evil God, the Western Region Buddha, the Empress of Yuzhou, and several other Dao Integration Realm experts appeared together, along with the mysterious 'Black Mist Power', to suppress the evil entity. Although the black mist that appeared in mid-air at the time could not be clearly seen, being able to witness that earth-shattering battle and deeply feel the pressure of the Dao Integration Realm was more than enough for over 99% of cultivators, and it could become a topic of conversation for them in the future.

Putting aside the fact that the evil creatures were memorable, the beauty of Luo Tan, Yao Meng, and Shang Yanfei alone was enough to make them unforgettable.

The three women each possessed unique beauty. The sect leader was considered sacred by the sect's disciples, while the Empress of Yuzhou, upon seeing her today, could be described as having unparalleled elegance and beauty.

As for Fairy Yao Meng, even disregarding her 'born with a Dao embryo' physique, her hazy sense of mystery alone is enough to make her the dream lover of countless cultivators.

Of course, everyone kept this love hidden in their hearts, afraid of offending that fairy.

While the entire sect was discussing this matter, Mu Zhian had just finished a close conversation with the Ye sisters and was returning to Tianhe Garden late at night.

Today, he was dominated by Bai Ruoxi in various ways, which consumed a lot of his spiritual energy. Tonight, he naturally planned to take a good rest.

However, as soon as he pushed open the door, he saw Yao Meng sitting in front of the bed.

Wearing a light, long dress with a light blue base and white embroidery, which hugged her exquisite and graceful figure, a faint smile graced her stunningly beautiful face. Beneath the hem of her dress, one could vaguely see her jade-like, smooth legs and bare, snow-white toes.

She was also holding a fiery red fruit that looked like it had been sculpted.

"Looks like you're quite busy every day. I've been in the room for almost an hour." Yao Meng smiled faintly, her eyes gently sizing up Mu Zhi'an.

Mu Zhian reacted quickly, cleared his throat, and said, "Sister Qian'er had some questions about the cultivation method, which is why she was delayed for a while."

As he spoke, he closed the door behind him and said with a smile, "If I had known that Fairy Sister was waiting for me, I would have come sooner."

A gentle smile appeared in Yao Meng's beautiful emerald eyes: "I'm afraid that if you knew I was coming, you wouldn't be so affectionate with your sister Lingxuan and my disciple, would you?"

Mu Zhian smiled helplessly and said, "Fairy sister, you've misunderstood. They are just my younger sisters."

Yao Meng didn't seem to care about these things. She beckoned Mu Zhian to come to the side.

When Mu Zhian approached, she handed him the fruit in her hand.

"I originally planned to give it to you after the Ascension Ceremony, but since you left the Martial World early, let's refine it while the Martial World assessment is still going strong these next two days," Yao Meng said with a smile.

Mu Zhian glanced at it, then looked up and asked, "Heavenly Phoenix Fruit?"

Yao Meng nodded slightly: "It can give you a chance to be reborn when you suffer a serious injury in the future, and it will also be of great help to the recovery of your spiritual energy."

After speaking, seeing that Mu Zhian did not move for a long time, Yao Meng raised her eyes slightly and said with a faint smile, "You're not going to say something like this is too valuable for me to accept, are you?"

The help Mu Zhian provided to her could not be compensated by a single Heavenly Phoenix Fruit.

Ultimately, compared to the price he paid for his rebirth, a single Heavenly Phoenix Fruit was nothing.

Mu Zhian snapped out of his reverie, took the Heavenly Phoenix Fruit, and smiled, "I was just thinking about how to refine this thing."

As he spoke, his gaze lingered on Yao Meng for a while.

"Can we just eat it directly?" Mu Zhian asked again.

"You can also choose to extract its spiritual energy; you don't necessarily have to consume it directly," Fairy Yao Meng said with a smile.

Mu Zhian understood slightly: "I see... I'll refine it from now on."

Yao Meng glanced at Mu Zhian's warm hand resting on her waist, a hint of awkward shyness flashing across her delicate face, but she still maintained her fairy-like demeanor and said with a light smile, "You don't need to wait, you can refine it now."

“But I want to refine it with the fairy sister,” Mu Zhian said.

"Together...?" Yao Meng tilted her head slightly, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

At this moment, Mu Zhian grabbed Yao Meng's shoulder and made her fall onto the bed behind her.

He grabbed the Heavenly Phoenix Fruit, squeezed it gently, and poured the juice onto Yao Meng's body.

Yao Meng slightly opened her hazy eyes. The aloof fairy image in the eyes of the world vanished. Beneath her cool eyes, there seemed to be a hint of charm, a kind of allure that blended coolness and charm together.

"Is this how you waste things?" Her tone was somewhat lecturing, but her eyes revealed a hint of shyness and... a hidden expectation.

"Don't worry, I won't waste a single drop," Mu Zhian grinned, savoring the taste of the Heavenly Phoenix Fruit.

After a while, Yao Meng slightly opened her beautiful eyes, put her arms around the back of Mu Zhian's head, who had turned into a sycophant, and whispered, "The Empress of Yuzhou seems to care about you. You must remember not to expose your innate furnace, lest it cause too much trouble."

"I understand..." Mu Zhian replied vaguely.

Right now, refining the Heavenly Phoenix Fruit is more important than these things.

Therefore, not a single drop of the juice from the Heavenly Phoenix Fruit can be wasted.

……

Northern Continent, the realm of demons.

The demon queen leaned lazily against her throne, looking as if she were taking a nap.

Her loose robes could not conceal her full and firm breasts, her long, jade-like legs were crossed as she sat, and her flowing hair accentuated her stunningly beautiful face that captivated all.

On the surface, the ruler of the Northern Continent seemed to be simply taking a nap, but only her personal maidservant, who was not far from her at the moment, knew that the spirit of this demon queen was no longer in the Northern Continent.

May everything go well for the Empress… The personal maid gazed adoringly at the ruler of the Eastern Continent, silently praying for her.

As one of the thirteen seats in the demon realm, this personal maid is not only the second seat of the thirteen seats, but also in charge of all the activities of the demon queen. Only this personal maid knows about her departure from the Northern Continent.

If everything goes smoothly and they absorb the essence of the first Demon Emperor, then it will be the best time for the Demon Realm to occupy the Eastern Continent.

This step was a helpless move by Shang Yanfei, but it was also within the expectations of the Demon Queen.

Apart from the Demon Queen, no one in this world can defeat the First Demon Emperor unscathed. The sect leader of the Two Elements Sect may be able to defeat the First Demon Emperor, but a battle between two Dao Integration Realm cultivators would likely cost many sect disciples as a price.

At this moment, the surrounding spiritual energy suddenly surged wildly and uncontrollably. The next moment, the Demon Queen slowly opened her eyes. Her already alluring temperament seemed to become even more enchanting, so beautiful that it was hard to look away. Even knowing that she was a dangerous being who would devour people without spitting out the bones, one would still fall in love with her uncontrollably.

The maid immediately realized what was happening and respectfully said, "Your Majesty, a medicinal bath has been prepared for you."

Refining essence is a process that even the Demon Queen needs to complete for some time. However, if she takes a medicinal bath, the process can be accelerated.

The Demon Queen nodded slightly: "You may leave now."

The maid bowed respectfully: "Yes."

After watching the maid leave, the Demon Queen tapped the edge of the chair lightly with her slender fingers, recalling the events that had occurred at the Liangyi Sect that day.

Shang Yanfei didn't seem like that kind of fool, but the other party had indeed given her the essence of the first Demon Emperor for nothing.

This is rather puzzling.

However, no matter what Shang Yanfei was thinking, once she refined the essence of the first Demon Emperor, even without the blessing of the Heavenly Dao Qi, Shang Yanfei would no longer be her opponent.

"What a terrible move..." The Demon Queen chuckled and slowly rose from her throne.

Suddenly, a strange image flashed through my mind, and a slight dizziness washed over me.

Immediately afterwards, a torrent of memories surged in, giving her no chance to react. Various scenes she had never experienced before flashed rapidly through her mind.

She breathed softly, and after the images had completely faded from her mind, the Demon Queen slowly raised her head and gazed in the direction of the Two Elements Sect.

Those alluring and seductive eyes held an incredulous astonishment, and... a sense of longing.

She awakened her memories of her past life.

And this is... the world of the second playthrough!

Chapter 296 Master and Disciple Showdown

In the magnificent and ancient hall, the alluring demon queen, her hand covering her forehead, leaned against her throne, her thoughts in turmoil.

Her once alluring eyes now held a hint of loss and anxiety.

This world is not the first playthrough, but the second playthrough world that has already been restarted once!

The so-called "second playthrough" simply means starting the game again after completing it, or it means going through a cycle.

In other words, the world today is already in its second cycle.

Silently digesting this information before her throne, the Demon Queen slowly raised her head after an unknown amount of time, gazing towards a certain direction in the Eastern Continent, as if she were looking through numerous obstacles to reach someone who was currently within the Liangyi Sect.

Who would have thought that a mere cultivator in the Refining Spirit Realm would have been a Daoist couple with the Queen of the Demon Realm in the first playthrough?

Even the current Queen of the Demon Realm found it hard to believe.

However, besides disbelief, what I felt most was an indescribable sense of longing.

If I hadn't awakened my past life memories just before going into seclusion, I probably wouldn't have expected this now.

No wonder Consort Shang Yan handed over the essence of the first Demon Emperor. On one hand, Consort Shang Yan was too confident in herself, and on the other hand... it was also to allow her to go into seclusion and focus on refining the essence.

Why would Shang Yanfei be willing to hand over the essence of the first Demon Emperor to force her into seclusion...?

Before awakening her memories, the Demon Queen could never have imagined the answer.

But at this moment, she already had a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

The Demon Queen pursed her sexy red lips slightly, crossed her supple legs, and gently tapped the edge of the chair with her slender fingers.

笃.

The slender fingers paused in their tapping of the chair edge, and the Demon Queen's eyes flickered slightly.

Perhaps, Shang Yanfei is also a reincarnated person?

Shang Yanfei hopes to go into seclusion within this year to absorb the essence of the first Demon Emperor. As for the reason... it's probably related to Mu Zhi'an.
