It turns out, they were the main characters.

Chapter 326 Don't underestimate a young girl's poverty! 5.5K

Snowflakes were falling heavily in the sky. It was the dead of winter, but Mu Zhian didn't feel the slightest bit of coldness brought by the season.

Because at this moment he was almost completely pressed against the delicate body of the Azure Emperor, Mu Zhian could feel the fairy's soft body very clearly.

Yao Meng had one arm around the back of Mu Zhi'an's head. At this moment, the green vines beneath their feet seemed to grow wildly from the ground, and the green light enveloped most of the Ascension Platform.

Normally, Mu Zhian would probably be shamelessly enjoying the softness of the fairy's body by now, but at this moment he dared not move at all.

Mu Zhian's awareness of anti-gank is already very strong. You could even say that he knows Yao Meng inside and out. Therefore, when Yao Meng approached, he already had a vague feeling that something was wrong and wanted to retreat.

However, even Mu Zhian was caught off guard when faced with a powerful being at the Dao Integration Realm who attacked unexpectedly.

The other 'protagonists' beside him were also caught off guard.

At this moment, countless gazes fell upon the two of them, and one could vaguely hear the sound of countless hearts breaking.

Bai Ruoxi, dressed in a white palace dress adorned with red plum blossoms, gazed at them serenely.

Her temperament was delicate yet slightly aloof, and her clothes could not conceal her proud heart. Her snow-white skin, set against the frost and snow in the sky, was extremely alluring.

The girl's slender hand, gripping the hem of her white dress, was enough to prove her anger.

Lan Mulian also gazed silently, her eyes flashing with a deep coldness, and there seemed to be blue veins pulsating on her forehead as she coldly observed.

Ye Qian gently grasped her older sister's small hand, feeling Ye Lingxuan's slightly stiff body, and whispered, "Sister Qingdi is replenishing Brother Mu's spiritual energy..."

Yes, at this moment, the Azure Emperor is indeed replenishing Mu Zhi'an's spiritual energy, which is obvious to anyone with eyes.

At this moment, countless vines sprouted from beneath the feet of Mu Zhian and Qingdi, and these vines were silently sprouting new buds, radiating a blue glow.

The two people bathing in it were constantly being replenished with spiritual energy, while the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was being rapidly absorbed by the vines, becoming nourishment for the two.

Ye Lingxuan naturally understood this as well.

...But understanding doesn't mean you don't care.

The Azure Emperor had glanced at her casually while kissing Brother Mu. Clearly, this fairy appeared holy and noble in the eyes of the world, but beneath the surface, she was dark, which is why she still held a grudge against Ye Lingxuan for her previous provocation.

But now no one can stop them... because it's too late.

Ye Lingxuan could only watch helplessly as her beloved Mu-gege slowly succumbed to the sweet web of love woven by the Azure Emperor, not knowing how to stop him, her heart filled with anger.

If she were currently at the Dao Integration Realm, would she allow her to treat her Brother Mu so recklessly?

Even with her exceptional talent, even as a reincarnated empress, she was only at the Refining Spirit Realm at this moment…

Wei Mengrou remained hidden in the shadows, coldly watching Qingdi's actions of publicly cuckolding everyone, her expression remaining calm throughout.

Even if they went up now, the vines produced by the Dao Integration Realm would not be able to be destroyed.

Meanwhile, Yao Meng, as if no one else was around, lowered her head and kissed Mu Zhi'an's face. Mu Zhi'an could clearly feel that his previously depleted cauldron was now gradually being replenished with the 'spiritual energy' that Yao Meng was channeling into him.

Mu Zhian couldn't resist wanting to wrap his arms around Yao Meng's slender and soft waist several times, but when he noticed the cold gazes around him, reason prevailed over impulse, and he managed to hold back.

He opened his eyes and saw the flawless beauty of the Azure Emperor sister so close to him. Her emerald green eyes seemed to be filled with a joyful and playful smile. Although she did not speak, Mu Zhian seemed to understand the meaning in her eyes.

"Fairy sister, isn't this a bit too much..." Mu Zhian wanted to say something very tactfully.

Although he had long known that a Dao Integration expert like the Azure Emperor, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, was definitely not someone to be trifled with, and that keeping her in a fishpond would be very dangerous, he still did not expect that things would turn out like this.

When he first met Qingdi, he thought she was a classical, gentle, and otherworldly fairy sister, and her past behavior indeed confirmed that Mu Zhian's guess was correct.

However... she also developed a strange hobby on top of that.

...This is a big problem.

"The fact that your spiritual energy has depleted to this extent is, in a sense, partly my fault. I'm just giving it back to you now."

When he heard Yao Meng's soft and melodious voice, Mu Zhian could only remain silent.

It's too late to push her away now, so he might as well just give up and focus on absorbing the spiritual energy that Yao Meng has transferred to his cauldron.

Although there were still many cultivators below the Ascension Platform, there was not a sound at all. Many cultivators looked at Mu Zhian with eyes as sharp as knives, wishing they could kick this scoundrel who had desecrated the fairy away.

...Even though Mu Zhian didn't do anything from beginning to end and was completely innocent.

After a while, the vines under Mu Zhian's feet silently disappeared.

Yao Meng released her grip on the back of Mu Zhi'an's head, moved her lips away from his, and gently exhaled a sweet and soft fragrance.

After a kiss, her rosy lips looked even more luscious and tempting.

Her eyes glanced slightly at Bai Ruoxi, who was not far to her side, as if she saw Gong Lianyue's figure behind Bai Ruoxi.

Gong Lianyue is still asleep, and no matter how talented Ye Lingxuan is, she is only at the Refinement of Spirit level. Lan Mulian is the number one among the younger generation, but given her aloof personality, she is destined not to take the initiative to make an attack.

By the time Gong Lianyue awakens, Mu Zhian will probably have already transformed into the form of the Azure Emperor's sister.

As their lips parted, the atmosphere at the scene began to stir. Countless eyes were fixed on Mu Zhi'an, and even the elders of the ancient aristocratic families were starting to lose their composure.

Who in the entire Eastern Continent doesn't know the name of the Azure Emperor? Some of them used to collect portraits of the Azure Emperor and have always regarded the empress as their deity.

But one day, this god suddenly said that he had someone he liked... and the person he liked was actually a novice cultivator.

Such a stark contrast makes it impossible not to feel jealous.

Furthermore, the fact that the Azure Emperor had given his kiss to Mu Zhian in front of everyone made it even more unacceptable and infuriating.

Unbeknownst to everyone, the Azure Emperor's previous intimate gesture was a declaration of his sovereignty over Bai Ruoxi and the others, while also subtly cuckolding all the 'protagonists'.

In their eyes, the Azure Emperor's actions just now seemed to be telling others that Mu Zhi'an was her Daoist partner, and he wasn't joking. If anyone were to secretly attack him in the future, they would have to think carefully about the consequences.

However, this simple action caused an uproar among the audience.

"Whoever is fighting Mu Zhian this time, please give it your all!"

"If I beat him, I can offer 100,000 spirit stones as compensation!"

"There's no need to worry about the consumption of spiritual energy. If you win the competition, I'll give you two Grade 6 Spirit Replenishing Pills as a reward!"

A lively discussion erupted from the audience, as if they were all united in their hatred of Mu Zhian and wished they could go up on stage and fight him, and beat him up.

At this moment, the incense in front of the arena had burned out silently. The old man in charge of the competition said in a deep voice, "The time has come. The two cultivators participating in the Ascension Assembly, please come up on stage and prepare."

Yao Meng gently touched Mu Zhi'an's lips with her fingertip and smiled brightly: "Don't disappoint me, okay?"

Upon hearing this, many of the younger generation in the audience had red eyes, and felt an urge to go on stage and fight Mu Zhian.

Meanwhile, some people hoped that the person fighting Mu Zhian this time would be more capable and defeat him in front of the Azure Emperor.

Mu Zhian noticed the gazes of this group of people, and even he was starting to lose his composure.

If it were just private moments when he and Yao Meng were being affectionate, others might not care, but to show affection in front of so many people, especially since the girls in the audience were already furious and their faces practically screamed "I've turned evil," was unacceptable.

It's fair to say that he doesn't have a single allied soldier by his side right now.

If we lose under these circumstances... then we'll be in big trouble.

However, the next moment, Yao Meng looked up at the boy who was about to go on stage and suddenly smiled: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Even if you lose, it doesn't matter. If you are willing in the future, I can take you back to Yaochi to teach you cultivation."

Why did those words sound so awkward coming from her mouth? Hmm, it must be because I imagined too many awkward scenarios from her words... Mu Zhian calmed himself down slightly and stepped onto the dueling platform.

Opposite him, a young man in a long robe, with a faint black light emanating from his back, stared intently at him and said, "The Holy Son of the Xuan Yin Palace, Lin Yuan."

Unlike the cultivators below the stage, Lin Yuan already harbored considerable hostility towards Mu Zhi'an.

After all, he had been pursuing Lin Keyu, the Holy Maiden of the Xuan Yin Palace. At first, the Holy Maiden, who possessed the Xuan Yin Body, was quite friendly to him. However, after meeting Mu Zhian in the Sword Palace, the Holy Maiden's attitude towards him became colder, and she deliberately kept her distance.

From the past to the present, when has he ever suffered such humiliation?

No matter who the target is, it will only take a month at most to win them over.

He thought that the pretty girl could do the same, but Mu Zhian, who appeared halfway through, completely shattered his plan.

Moreover, Mu Zhian, like him, is a fickle person, yet the Holy Maiden has taken a liking to him!

Even the Azure Emperor just spoke up and clarified her relationship with Mu Zhi'an...

That's a powerful being at the Dao Integration Realm. If one could have such a Daoist partner, where in the Nine Provinces could one not go?

Even if she gets stuck at the peak of the Divine Refinement stage in the future, with the Azure Emperor around, she can provide her with Emperor-level medicinal herbs and even pills to extend her Daoist partner's lifespan...

Just thinking about it made Lin Yuan feel a surge of jealousy, which he couldn't bear at all.

He clenched his fist quietly, waiting for the old man to speak and officially begin the competition.

This young man isn't very friendly... Meanwhile, Mu Zhian was secretly observing this Holy Son. As a born spirit, he could still discern the malice of others.

Moreover, Lin Yuan made no attempt to conceal his hostility.

Judging from this aura, he must have just entered the seventh rank of Refining Spirit... If we were to fight him using normal methods, he would be very difficult to deal with.

Mu Zhian held his breath slightly and concentrated.

Then, he slowly pulled out the Heavenly Lock.

Its body is covered with dark gold lines, and the blade is incredibly sharp, seemingly capable of cleaving through giant rocks with just a light touch.

Although it is difficult to control this first-grade weapon spirit at present, even as an ordinary weapon, the destructive power of the Heavenly Lock is immeasurable.

Just as Mu Zhian grasped the Heavenly Lock, he suddenly felt the lock vibrate slightly, as if a mysterious voice was calling to him.

Mu Zhian paused for a moment, then subconsciously looked down at the dark gold Heaven-Asking Lock in his hand.

It was calling to me, urging me to infuse it with spiritual energy... Mu Zhian understood the meaning of the Heavenly Lock almost immediately. He calmed his mind, and then the spiritual energy he had just obtained from Yao Meng quietly began to circulate.

Between heaven and earth, the spiritual energy seemed to slowly become active, turning somewhat restless...

As the battle on the stage was about to erupt, Yao Meng gracefully arrived at the Ascension Platform and stood there, looking down at the battle on the arena.

Her expression remained completely calm throughout, as if she wasn't worried about Mu Zhian's defeat.

Even though there is a difference of three grades between the two.

Just then, a melodious voice suddenly came from beside Yao Meng.

"Senior Qingdi is truly skilled, acknowledging your relationship with Brother Mu in front of so many people. Are you planning to marry him next?"

Ye Lingxuan had already stepped onto the Ascension Platform at some point. Her skirt fluttered, revealing her long, jade-like legs. Her long hair was loose, and her voice was clear and pleasant, but her purple eyes, which she looked at Yao Meng, were filled with indifference.

Yao Meng didn't turn her head. A faint smile appeared on her face, and her tone was calm and indifferent: "If he's willing, it's not impossible..."

"However, there is no precedent for someone from Yaochi to marry out of the family. Perhaps I could consider bringing him back to Yaochi as my wife?"

As she finished speaking, she turned her head slightly and looked at Ye Lingxuan with a kind, older sister-like smile on her face.

"Senior Qingdi has lived for over ten thousand years. Given Mu Lang's status and position... what exactly do you see in him?" Bai Ruoxi slightly raised her eyelids, her temperament gentle, but her gaze towards this fairy in the green dress revealed a chilling coldness.
