It turns out, they were the main characters.

She prepared the tea with graceful movements, while Mu Zhian casually glanced around at the surroundings and said casually, "Miss Manting, do you have any further experience with what happened a few days ago?"

Huang Manting placed the teacup on Mu Zhian's desk, looked up at him with a smile, and asked, "Young Master Mu, do you want to ask me if I still remember being relied upon by Her Majesty the Empress?"

"Haven't you already given me the answer?" Mu Zhian chuckled lightly, completely calm.

Then, without making a sound, he took a sip of tea to calm his nerves.

“I am also one of Her Majesty the Empress’s people.” After a moment, Mu Zhian stated his position.

Huang Manting sat with her legs crossed, the hem of her black skirt outlining her fair and shapely legs. She slowly took a sip of tea and said, "I know."

"However, I only found out today."

"Someone told you that?" Mu Zhian became somewhat interested.

Huang Manting glanced at him: "That's what Her Majesty the Empress said."

Upon suddenly hearing the name "Empress of the Demon Realm" from the other party, Mu Zhian's eyes showed a hint of doubt.

He could sense that the Demon Queen had always regarded him as a pawn, and a hidden one at that, on the periphery. Yet, she actually said such a thing to Huang Manting.

"Actually, I went out tonight to see you."

Huang Manting chuckled and continued, "But it's quite a coincidence that Young Master Mu came by himself."

"Coming to me so late at night... could it be that Her Majesty the Empress wants to silence me?" Mu Zhian said with a hint of joking, but he had already silently gripped the communication jade slip in his hand.

Huang Manting shook her head and smiled faintly: "No, no, Young Master Mu has been kind to me, and Manting is not the kind of person who repays kindness with enmity."

She gently put down her teacup. "There's something I'd like to ask Young Master Mu for help with."

"Please speak, Miss Manting."

"Her Majesty the Empress has instructed me to send a wisp of your spirit back to the Demon Realm," Huang Manting said softly, turning her head to look at Mu Zhian.

"A wisp of spiritual consciousness...?" Mu Zhian remained outwardly calm, but secretly tightened his grip on the jade slip. "How do I bring spiritual consciousness back to the demon realm?"

If Huang Manting showed any sign of making a move, he would immediately use this jade slip to notify Wei Mengrou to come over.

"It's very simple."

However, Huang Manting showed no intention of making a move; instead, she brought her exquisitely beautiful face close to Mu Zhian's.

Her small, red lips parted slightly, and then, she gently exhaled a pink mist filled with a sweet fragrance.

"That's fine." She looked at Mu Zhi'an, who was slumped on the table, and said with a gentle smile.

……

Demon world.

The distance from here to the Eastern Continent is unimaginably far. Even if cultivators at the Refining Spirit Realm traveled tirelessly, flying on their swords over a straight line, it would still take them at least five days.

Because she absorbed the essence of the first Demon Emperor, the Demon Queen cannot easily leave the Northern Continent. If she were a normal person, she would probably choose to put aside Mu Zhi'an's matter for the time being and focus on refining the essence.

But the Demon Queen is clearly not a normal person.

Mu Zhian's people cannot be brought to the demon realm, because anyone who tries to bring him there will inevitably be stopped by others.

However, a wisp of his spiritual consciousness could be quickly brought into the demon realm. Great beings at the Dao Integration Realm possess extraordinary abilities, so achieving this level of power is quite easy for them.

With this wisp of spiritual consciousness, one can do so many things...

Mu Zhian slowly opened his eyes.

An unfamiliar ceiling came into view, as if it were saying: "Ha, strange humans."

The layout of the main hall was grand and imposing, with three unfamiliar cultivators standing on each side.

Where am I...?

Mu Zhian covered his forehead, feeling a sense of emptiness in his body. He slowly stood up and looked up.

At the edge of the field of vision was a golden throne inlaid with snake heads, and in front of the throne sat a stunningly beautiful woman in a gorgeous long dress.

She has excellent proportions, a tall and slender figure, stunning beauty, and dignified eyes, yet her temperament is alluring and seductive.

Her voluptuous and alluring figure can only be appreciated through experience, not described.

"The Demon Queen...?" Mu Zhian was stunned for a moment, then met the Demon Queen's alluring eyes as she stared at him.

The moment their eyes met, he slowly typed out a big question mark.

Holy crap, I woke up in the demon realm?!

"You may all step back."

At this moment, the Demon Queen suddenly spoke.

She slowly rose from the throne, her alluring eyes gazing tenderly at Mu Zhi'an.

"I have something I'd like to talk to him about alone."

Mu Zhian was in a very 'Buddhist' and indifferent state at this moment. He had completely emptied himself and looked up at the unfamiliar environment in front of him, as well as the Empress sitting high in front of the throne.

The Demon Queen stood before her throne, gazing at him with a slight smile, and asked, "Don't you have anything to say?"

Mu Zhian raised his hand and bowed respectfully: "Since Your Majesty has abducted me to the Demon Realm, there must be a reason for it."

You, Huang Manting, not only did you become the Demon Queen's subordinate, but you also managed to abduct my spirit to the Demon Realm... and this beautiful snake woman too—

Mu Zhian suddenly bit the tip of his tongue, forcibly interrupting the thoughts in his mind and emptying his thoughts.

This demon queen can read minds; if he has any disrespectful thoughts towards her, she will probably detect them immediately.

Mu Zhi calmed himself down and respectfully asked, "Your Majesty, may I ask why you brought my spiritual consciousness here?"

The Demon Queen did not answer. She glanced at Mu Zhi'an with a complicated expression, then resumed her usual aloof demeanor and said, "I have some things I want to investigate, so I need your cooperation."

As she spoke, she slightly raised her chin, gesturing to the maid beside her.

The maid wore a plain-colored front-opening jacket embroidered with purple petals, and a plain white ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) on her lower body, which added a touch of purity to her originally intellectual temperament.

Although her beauty cannot compare to that of the Demon Queen, who is so alluring to all beings, she still stands out among female cultivators.

She is the second seat in the demon realm and also the personal maid of the demon queen.

She approached Mu Zhi'an with a smile and said, "Young Master Mu, please come with me."

The moment their eyes met, Mu Zhian's heart skipped a beat, and she felt an indescribable palpitation.

Returning to the Void Realm...

No, it's far more than just the Returning to the Void Realm!

This maidservant beside the Demon Queen is indeed not simple at all...

With a hint of surprise and doubt in his heart, Mu Zhian followed the maid along the long corridor of the main hall.

Although he didn't know the Demon Queen's purpose, he was only a wisp of his spirit here. Even if something went wrong, it wouldn't affect his physical body. At most, it would only cause some damage to his spirit.

Besides... the Demon Queen shouldn't have any reason to do anything to him.

As Mu Zhian followed the maid into a spacious hall, the maid raised her hand and made a hand seal. Outside the hall, a huge array enveloped Mu Zhian.

"Relax, I won't hurt you."

Seemingly noticing Mu Zhi'an's sudden tension, the alluring voice of the Demon Queen suddenly rang in Mu Zhi'an's ear. He subconsciously turned his head to look, and for some reason, he felt that the way she looked at him no longer had the teasing meaning she used to have; instead, there was a more complicated look in her eyes.

The next moment, Mu Zhian's consciousness was plunged into darkness, and the array above Mu Zhian's head displayed a scene that resembled an image.

The second-in-command of the demon realm looked up at the image in mid-air and suddenly spoke up: "Your Majesty, you have never allowed me to use this secret technique on anyone before. What happened to him in the past that makes you so concerned?"

This secret method can reveal a person's past and present lives, and even their seven emotions and six desires.

This secret technique is so powerful that even the second seat cannot use it. It requires the help of the demonic energy in the hall to barely perform it, which is enough to show how interested the Demon Queen is in Mu Zhi'an.

"I had a dream."

The Demon Queen gazed at Mu Zhian's wisp of spiritual consciousness, her alluring voice echoing softly in the hall: "This dream is very real, and there are some things in the dream that I can take a closer look at."

Before the second seat could speak, the Demon Queen gazed at the image in mid-air with her beautiful eyes: "Let's begin. You'll know the answer soon enough."

The second seatmate responded softly, "Yes." She closed her eyes slightly, and when she opened them again, there was a hint of pink in her beautiful eyes.

At that instant, a wisp of energy slowly emanated from Mu Zhian's body.

Luck!

Pink brings good fortune!

"Luck determines a cultivator's life, but I've never seen such rosy luck before... No wonder His Majesty cares about her." The second seat secretly commented.

Then, he carefully observed the pink glow emanating from Mu Zhian.

"Of the seven emotions and six desires, the one that dominates his list the most is... lust? This Mu Zhian seems to be a womanizer." The second seatee muttered to himself.

The Demon Queen remained silent, quietly watching the scene gradually emerge in mid-air.

What came into view was a woman wearing a pure white dress. She looked aloof and delicate, gently biting her lip as she gazed at the boy in the image.

This is Mu Zhian's 'present life', and the woman in the picture is the person he cares about.

“Bai Ruoxi? I ​​remember that she is half of my demon bloodline, but it’s a pity that she has joined the Liangyi Sect.” The second seat raised her eyebrows slightly, obviously recognizing Bai Ruoxi.

But how could 'lust' arise from just one woman?

Sure enough, a second woman soon appeared in the video.

She wore a purple dress, with a thin ribbon outlining her slender waist. Her smile was pure and lovely, making her exceptionally beautiful.

The second seated man's gaze sharpened slightly as he said, "The Holy Maiden of the Forbidden Zone... she is indeed an outstanding woman. No wonder she is fickle."

Ye Lingxuan is top-notch in terms of looks, talent, and even background. Put yourself in her shoes, and it's hard to imagine anyone resisting such a beautiful woman taking the initiative to pursue you.

“Ye Qian… She is the disciple of the Azure Emperor, and she and Ye Lingxuan are sisters. I’ve heard that men are almost immune to twin sisters…” The second seat was thoughtful, looking at the third woman who appeared, his eyes still calm.

She was an extremely rational person. Although she disdained men's fickleness, she could understand it.

After all, both the Ye sisters and Bai Ruoxi are indeed beauties that men cannot resist, and Mu Zhian, at his age, would naturally be unable to resist such temptation.

Next, a new woman appeared on the screen, and the second seatman was also deeply impressed by her.

"This woman is Shang Yanfei's last disciple, and she is probably the first genius among her peers in the Nine Provinces to step into the Void Returning Realm. She will likely be a great enemy of the Demon Realm in the future," the second seat murmured to himself.
