It turns out, they were the main characters.

"Your spiritual energy is much weaker than before."

Mu Zhian's guess was correct. After the old Heavenly Dao bestowed its fortune upon Wei Mengrou, it was equivalent to removing some of the restrictions on Wei Mengrou, and the original witch's abilities were gradually awakening.

This technique is a sign of the primordial witch's awakening.

I feel like Mengrou's personality is becoming more like that of the Primordial Witch, not only in terms of ability...?

Mu Zhian's heart skipped a beat. Looking at Wei Mengrou's alluring smile, which now seemed to have gained a touch of 'witch' about her, and the teasing look in her beautiful eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

It seems she held back a bit in bed just now.

I thought that the harsh discipline I gave Mengrou had turned her into a good girl who only cared about her master, but now it seems... she only called him 'master' because she was in love with him.

Next time I get the chance, I'll definitely teach her a lesson she won't forget...

Young Master Mu is a man with a strong desire to explore. He can become Meng Rou's spiritual energy through dual cultivation with her, so if he enters from other places... I wonder if it will have the same effect.

Of course, these things can't be rushed; they need to be developed gradually.

Or perhaps let Sister Mengrou try to become a girl with good fortune in food next time. I suppose the spiritual energy of the innate furnace should also have an amplifying effect...?

Seeing that Mu Zhian remained silent, Wei Mengrou raised her hand and snapped her fingers. The black thread transformed into a butterfly, which landed on her right leg the next moment, like a beautiful butterfly print.

She glanced at Mu Zhian and said indifferently, "I'll let you off this time, but if you dare to flirt with me again next time... it won't be as simple as just tying you up."

"Thank you so much, Sister Mengrou, for sparing my life."

Mu Zhian smiled and answered sincerely.

Wei Mengrou nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.

Of course, if she knew that Mu Zhian was already thinking about the next punishment for her, and even wanted her to have sex with him... she would never have let him off so easily.

"It's getting late, let me see Sister Mengrou out first," Mu Zhian said at the right moment, stepping forward to help her and slowly leaving the room.

As the two were talking, they didn't notice that at that very moment, the usually calm cumulus clouds above the Glazed Palace were slowly swirling like a vortex...

In a grand hall on the south bank, Ye Qingxin slowly opened her bewitching red eyes in front of the lotus pond.

She was surrounded by an array, shrouded in mist and bursting with divine light, making it difficult for ordinary people to see her true form. They could only vaguely see a graceful figure appearing and disappearing, so beautiful that it was unreal and captivating.

"What do you need me for?" Ye Qingxin asked calmly.

Despite the dazzling lights of the place, Ye Qingxin still managed to spot the man outside the lotus pond.

If any cultivator happened to witness this scene, they would be greatly surprised, because the man appearing in the main hall at this moment was Ye Lingxuan's biological father and the current master of the forbidden area.

"Senior Ye, it's been a long time. You still look as dashing as ever." The Lord of the Forbidden Zone looked up at the woman in the lotus pond, a faint smile appearing on his usually cold face.

Although the current master of the forbidden zone is at a similar level to Ye Qingxin, in terms of seniority, the other party is superior to him, so this level of courtesy is still necessary.

"The Ye family has no connection with the forbidden zone anymore. I wonder what brings the master of the forbidden zone here today?" Ye Qingxin asked calmly and indifferently.

“I heard from my daughter a few days ago that you had personally given her guidance, so I wanted to take this opportunity to leave the restricted area and personally visit you to express my gratitude.”

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone gazed at Ye Qingxin amidst the mist and spoke slowly.

When the Ye sisters were mentioned, Ye Qingxin's eyes softened slightly, and she shook her head and said, "Although the forbidden area has no connection with the Ye family, Ye Qian was taken care of by your daughter in the past, so this can be considered as repaying her."

Then, Ye Qingxin changed the subject, saying, "You've come here today not for this matter, but to ask me about the path to immortality, right?"

"If that's why you've come, you're probably going to be disappointed."

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone frowned slightly and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"The path to immortality may only appear once every ten thousand years. Although I have always been in the Heavenly Court, I do not know how the path to immortality is revealed," Ye Qingxin said.

"If I knew how the path to immortality manifested, I wouldn't need to send a wisp of my spiritual consciousness to the mortal realm."

Speaking of the path to immortality, Ye Qingxin couldn't help but think of that humble and gentle young man, and asked again, "You've only ever had one daughter, and you don't object to her being with Mu Zhian?"

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone's expression turned rather unpleasant upon hearing the mention of Ye Lingxuan.

He put his hands behind his back and said quietly, "I can't directly interfere with my children's feelings, and if I had to say, this son isn't bad, he's just a bit of a womanizer."

He then snorted coldly, "If it weren't for the Azure Emperor and the Spirit Dragon, I was planning to teach him a lesson this time..."

Recalling the various things the Liangyi Sect had heard about Mu Zhian in the past two days, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone's expression turned rather unpleasant.

In his youth, he was quite the charming man, similar to Mu Zhian, who won the hearts of many girls. He even seduced a holy maiden from an ancient family with a very powerful background, but ended up being hunted down for months.

Later, after he returned to the Void Realm, he personally went to apologize and proposed marriage.

Even though the patriarch of that ancient family was unwilling, he had no choice but to agree to the marriage when he saw his daughter's devoted expression.

This is one of the things that makes the King of the Penalty Area quite proud.

But he never expected that history would repeat itself; he had once seduced someone else's daughter, and now someone else had secretly stolen his daughter's heart...

However, back then he was being hunted down, while Mu Zhi'an... no one could hunt him down.

After all, with the Azure Emperor and the Spirit Dragon as protectors, and the daughter he and his wife had also been protected by the puppet of the Reincarnated Empress, it would probably be quite difficult to teach Mu Zhi'an a lesson if he really wanted to.

However, it was truly unexpected that the Azure Emperor would actually take a liking to a mere cultivator in the Refining Spirit Realm... Even someone who had seen countless storms couldn't help but feel a bit emotional at this moment.

"Senior, are you very concerned about Mu Zhian's matter? I remember hearing that you had targeted him before when I came here today?" the Lord of the Forbidden Zone suddenly asked.

Although she doesn't like Mu Zhian, she still has to step in to mediate if Ye Qingxin targets him.

After all, Mu Zhian is the son-in-law of the forbidden zone.

Ye Qingxin seemed to see through what the Lord of the Forbidden Zone was thinking, and said calmly, "When I first descended to the lower realm, I listened to the words of a member of the Ye family, and therefore had some misunderstandings about Mu Zhian. However, after spending time with him, I think this boy has a good character and doesn't seem like a person who would do evil."

"Therefore you don't need to worry that I will target him."

"Mu Zhi'an's temperament and talent are indeed quite good." The Lord of the Forbidden Zone nodded slightly, then paused and continued, "I may have to go into seclusion for a while after this, and I will need to ask for your guidance then."

"Do not worry."

Ye Qingxin raised an eyebrow slightly, but her eyes held a meaningful look as she said softly, "Whether it's your daughter, Qian'er, or... Mu Zhi'an, I will take good care of them all."

"After all, it would be a pity if such a promising talent were to falter halfway through his career."

Especially for geniuses like Mu Zhian, they deserve even more attention.

Although he is only at the Refining Spirit Realm now, it should be noted that Mu Zhian's innate furnace will become stronger as his realm increases.

Someone like Ye Qingxin could nurture even someone with poor talent to the point of returning to the Void Realm through her gentle care and elixirs. If she was lucky, they might even be able to comprehend the Dao.

Moreover, Mu Zhian's talent is outstanding among the younger generation, and he has a very high chance of comprehending the Dao.

Once Mu Zhian advances to the Enlightenment Realm, paired with a natural furnace for the Harmony Realm...

Ye Qingxin quickly collected her thoughts. After exchanging a few words with the master of the forbidden zone, she watched as the master of the forbidden zone transformed into a streak of black light and left the main hall.

She withdrew her gaze and was about to close her eyes to resume her meditation when she suddenly seemed to sense something. She raised her clear yet alluring eyes and gazed at the sky outside the palace.

"A natural phenomenon?"

"And it's in the Glazed Tile Palace...?"

After muttering to herself, Ye Qingxin's eyes flickered slightly.

For some reason, the first person she thought of was someone.

……

After seeing Wei Mengrou out of the room, Mu Zhian looked up at the sky.

Even though there was no lightning tribulation, the cumulus clouds under the night sky were swirling, slowly flowing with the wind, exuding a heavy pressure that gave people an indescribable sense of oppression.

“A strange phenomenon at birth must mean something big is about to happen,” Wei Mengrou murmured to herself, her fingers unconsciously landing on a spot on her right thigh.

No matter how you look at it, this strange phenomenon seems to be related to Mu Zhi'an killing the chosen one today and then bestowing his fortune upon her.

"Regardless of the cause of this strange phenomenon, since Heaven cannot intervene directly, there is no need to worry about it."

"Instead of this, Sister Mengrou, why don't you go take a bath first?"

Mu Zhian gently placed his hand on her shoulder. His white robe fluttered in the night wind as he looked up at the strange phenomenon under the night sky, a cold smile on his face.

So what if there are extraordinary phenomena in the sky? It's nothing but impotent rage.

If you can arrange for the chosen ones to target me in the dark, I can eliminate them one by one.

You can also take this opportunity to get some good stuff...

After Wei Mengrou left, Mu Zhian calmly withdrew his gaze, casually rubbing his lower back, feeling his steps were a little unsteady.

That's understandable.

First, he was stepped on by Lingxuan and Qian'er, then he spent a long time being intimate with them, and when he came back, he hurriedly handed over the Qi he had just obtained to Sister Mengrou... Moreover, the spiritual energy in the Natural Furnace was also largely devoured by the mysterious chains summoned by Wei Mengrou.

Even an ox couldn't withstand such plowing.

"People always say that Ye Yu and Xiao Hua are like leeks, fattened up and then harvested... Now I feel like I'm a leek myself, fattened up by a natural furnace and then harvested by Ruoxi and the others."

Mu Zhian sighed softly.

He turned around and went back to his room to meditate and cultivate, readjusting his spiritual energy.

At that moment, Mu Zhian suddenly felt as if a streak of crimson light was sweeping towards him from afar.

The next moment, a crimson stream of light landed in front of the courtyard, and flames ignited.

A stunningly beautiful woman emerged from the crimson flames. She wore a red dress with black patterns that hugged her graceful figure, and behind her, black and red flames burned, creating a dazzling spectacle.

"Senior Ye, what brings you here?" Mu Zhian asked in surprise.

The person who appeared in Tianhe Garden was Ye Qingxin, the ancestor of the Ye family.

"There are unusual phenomena in the Glazed Palace today. I guess it was caused by you, so I came to check. If there is any problem, I can protect your spirit immediately."

Ye Qingxin's cool voice carried a hint of indifference. After glancing at Mu Zhian a few times, she asked in confusion, "How come your spiritual energy has decreased so much?"

Mu Zhian smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just encountered a slight mishap during my cultivation not long ago."

Seeing that Ye Qingxin still had doubts in her eyes, Mu Zhian immediately changed the subject again: "Ye Yu has been away from the sect for almost two days now. I wonder how he is doing now."

"Does the senior know which direction he went in, and where he was planning to go?"

Mu Zhian asked with a sincere yet doubtful tone.

A cold glint flashed in Ye Qingxin's beautiful eyes as she said, "That direction can only lead to the Demon Realm. These past two days, there have been faint glimmers of light rising from the Chaos Land. Where else could he go besides the Chaos Land?"

"The Chaotic Land? He went to the Chaotic Land?" Mu Zhi'an exclaimed in surprise. "There are demon cultivators everywhere there. Will he be in trouble?"

"Since he's going there on his own, he must have made the necessary preparations," Ye Qingxin said calmly.
