It turns out, they were the main characters.

After waking up, Gong Lianyue possessed Bai Ruoxi's memories, and therefore naturally knew the origin of this hydrangea.

This was given to her by Mu Zhi'an; it can shield her from her demonic aura.

Bai Ruoxi initially thought that Mu Zhian had found the hydrangea in the storage ring of the first Demon Emperor, but now it seems...

A terrifying thought flashed through Gong Lianyue's mind.

"This hydrangea was obtained from me by that child before. He truly cherishes his Daoist partner and has tried every possible means to obtain this magical artifact that can shield against demonic energy."

As if to verify Gong Lian Yue's guess, the Demon Queen casually revealed the truth.

To obtain a magical artifact from the Demon Queen to shield one's demonic energy for the sake of one's Daoist partner... If this plot were slightly modified, it would definitely be an NTR (Netorare) story.

Gong Lianyue's beautiful eyes gradually turned cold: "It seems that the Demon Queen is quite interested in my Daoist partner."

What will he offer you in exchange?

The Demon Queen smiled alluringly: "Guess~"

boom!

The ancient bronze sword behind Gong Lianyue emitted a dazzling light, like the sun, hovering behind her, majestic and radiant.

The Demon Queen lightly raised her fingertips, and from the demonic mist behind her, a dim glow seemed to emanate, making her red nail polish even more alluring.

However, at that moment, a blue lotus flower silently bloomed between the two, abruptly severing the already somewhat dangerous and murderous aura between them.

"I didn't expect that Consort Shang Yan hadn't appeared yet, but the Palace Master had arrived first. I thought you would wait until Bai Ruoxi returned to the Void Realm before waking up."

A voice as clear as celestial music drifted slowly from the Abyss. The celestial music seemed to contain a special Daoist charm, which gradually calmed down the cultivators who were originally quite uneasy near the Abyss.

Then, their eyes gradually filled with awe and fervor.

Some cultivators may never see a Dao-Merging Great Power even after a lifetime of cultivation, yet today they have seen two or three Dao-Merging Great Powers in succession!

As the celestial music faded, Gong Lianyue's attention shifted from the Demon Queen to the beautiful woman in a green dress who had appeared in mid-air at some unknown time.

"Azure Emperor? What are you doing here?"

Noticing the undisguised coldness and hostility from Gong Lianyue, and catching a glimpse of the bewitching eyes of the Demon Queen staring at her, Yao Meng's lips curled into a slight smile.

A faint smile graced her beautiful face: "Whoever the Palace Master is looking for, that's who I'm looking for."

"I have no intention of disturbing you two. Please make yourselves at home."

As Yao Meng finished speaking, her gaze fell on the direction of the Abyss.

She had originally planned to come to the Abyss after dealing with the matter in Yaochi, but since she had already been alerted by the Demon Queen, she decided to go and check on his situation first.

"Is the Azure Emperor planning to rashly intrude into my border region and oppose the Demon Realm?" the Demon Realm Empress asked coldly.

Those once alluring eyes were now colder, and a rare hint of melancholy crept into her heart.

She never expected that instead of forcing Shang Yanfei out, she would attract a bunch of vixens one after another.

...Gong Lianyue really is a vixen.

As for the Azure Emperor... Although the world regards the Azure Emperor as an unblemished fairy, this fairy has always been somewhat cunning. Now she has even seduced Mu Zhi'an, making him infatuated. Can she really be called a fairy?

Yao Meng's slender, jade-like feet tread on the void. She slightly turned her head, and a smile appeared in her eyes as she looked around.

"I am only going to find my Daoist partner, you must not bring up the demon realm."

"Besides, I was able to suppress the first Demon Emperor back then, and if I wanted to, I could suppress you in the Pilgrimage Hall as well."

Gong Lianyue sneered: "Daoist partner? If the cultivators of the Nine Provinces heard these words, they would probably be ridiculed. The dignified Fairy of Yaochi actually took the initiative to seduce a young cultivator who already had a Daoist partner. If people didn't know better, they would probably think that the fairy had some special fetish for young boys.

"I truly love him. Besides, feelings shouldn't be about who came first, but about whether we truly love each other."

"What does the Palace Master think?"

Yao Meng spoke with a faint smile, her voice like heavenly music.

This is the work of a high-level player who can describe the lush and verdant NTR in such a refined and elegant way, leaving no room for rebuttal.

The Demon Queen glanced at her lightly, her charming laughter echoing between heaven and earth, possessing a bewitching allure.

"What the Green Emperor said is absolutely right."

She said casually, "So I think the Azure Emperor probably doesn't know how gentle your so-called Daoist partner is in front of me, does he? If what you say is true, I might consider taking Mu Zhi'an back to the Demon Realm after he leaves the Abyss."

Yao Mengqing's beautiful face remained expressionless as she admired the magnificent scenery before the abyss.

After a long pause, she withdrew her gaze, her beautiful eyes meeting the alluring and graceful Demon Queen, then glancing at the resolute and stunning Sword Palace Master, before calmly and disdainfully smiling:

"So, you probably don't know how well-behaved he is when he calls out 'Sister Qingdi' in bed, do you?"

The air suddenly seemed to freeze for a moment.

Even the Demon Queen's gaze froze for a moment.

Of all those present, only the Azure Emperor was qualified to say such a thing.

The Demon Queen always says she wants to sleep with him, but she hasn't even touched Mu Zhi'an's hand yet.

Needless to say, Gong Lianyue, although Bai Ruoxi and Mu Zhian had been intimate, Gong Lianyue, as another spiritual being, had never had any intimate contact with Mu Zhian.

Everyone was just talking nonsense, but Qingdi really did sleep with him... and more than once. Now her cauldron is even full of Mu Zhi'an's spiritual energy!

Yao Meng gazed at the two of them, her red lips parted slightly, and she spoke in a calm and indifferent tone:

“You can wait until he leaves and ask him who he chose.”

As she said this, she glanced back casually.

Deep within the abyss, Mu Zhian was carrying a coffin on his back, slowly flying out on his sword.

In that instant, an eerie silence fell between the three of them.

The border region was eerily quiet at this moment, and rain began to fall from the gloomy sky.

The three powerful beings at the Dao Integration Realm stood facing each other, their every move exuding a terrifying pressure. Though they were exceptionally elegant, no cultivator dared to raise their heads.

From the very beginning, some cultivators had already sensed the danger and fled the area by burning their spiritual energy and using their swords.

The Demon Queen narrowed her beautiful eyes and said coldly, "If I remember correctly, the Azure Emperor used the Purifying Lotus to suppress the first Demon Emperor. After thousands of years of wear and tear, only a wisp of his consciousness remains."

Yao Meng frowned slightly and asked, "What are you trying to say?"

The Demon Queen unintentionally curled the corners of her lips and said lightly, "If I remember correctly, young friend Mu once went to the forbidden zone with the Holy Maiden of the forbidden zone, presumably to find the water of reincarnation for you. Afterwards, the two of you went to the Yaochi Holy Land to wait for the Heavenly Phoenix Tree to bear fruit. So it seems that his dual cultivation with you was only to reshape your body."

"As for calling you 'Sister Qingdi', it's nothing to brag about... The more you lack something, the more you want to show it off. This saying is perfectly embodied in Qingdi."

Although the words were spoken casually, they gradually added a touch of coldness to Yao Meng's usually indifferent eyes.

But her expression remained unchanged. The coldness in her eyes vanished in an instant, replaced by a beautiful and kind smile. She said, "At first, I did treat him as a junior, but after that, I gradually developed feelings for him."

At this moment, Gong Lianyue suddenly sneered: "Is so-called affection based on stealing another's husband? If the Azure Emperor's words were to spread, he would probably be ridiculed by all the cultivators in the world."

Yao Meng glanced at Gong Lianyue lightly, then swept her gaze over the Demon Queen and said indifferently, "If I am stealing someone else's husband, then what about the Palace Master? You and Bai Ruoxi are two spiritual beings. It seems a bit inappropriate for you to openly acknowledge yourself as his Daoist partner as well?"

The Demon Queen raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "Let's leave aside Gong Lianyue's matter for now, but does the Azure Emperor deny his previous act of stealing her husband?"

Yao Meng smiled faintly and said, "I had mentioned this matter to others on the South Bank before, so I naturally won't deny it now. Besides, Miss Bai is also aware of this matter."

She paused, glancing casually at the Demon Queen: "However, what does my affair with Mu Lang and the others have to do with our Demon Queen? Why are you so concerned about this matter?"

"Or is it that the Empress of the Demon Realm has taken a fancy to a natural furnace for a cultivator in the Refining Spirit Realm, and that she stopped me from going to him just because she was jealous?"

To kill someone is to destroy their spirit; this can be described as truly killing someone's spirit.

These words left the Demon Queen with absolutely no grounds for rebuttal. I admit I cheated on Bai Ruoxi, and she knows about it, but this is our 'family matter,' what does it have to do with you, the Demon Queen?

Why are you stopping me from going to the Abyss, someone who has only been in the Demon Realm and has hardly ever left?

Just then, a sudden sound was heard, and the air seemed to vibrate faintly.

Gong Lianyue's gorgeous white dress fluttered in the wind, vaguely revealing a pair of long, slender, snow-white legs, her eyes gleaming with a hint of coldness.

"The Azure Emperor possesses unparalleled beauty in this world. If he wanted to find a Daoist partner, what man couldn't he find? Why did he have to choose him? Do you really have to oppose me?"

A cold wind blew through the abyss. Yao Meng smiled faintly and said, "If it were Miss Bai who said this, it would be fine. However, you and Mu Lang have no relation."

"Besides, he's outstanding in every way, so why can't we choose him as our Daoist partner?"

Gong Lianyue's gaze grew cold, while Yao Meng, though smiling, was clearly in a bad mood as well.

boom!

The next moment, a deafening roar echoed across the entire sky, as if the whole of Kyushu was shaking.

Gong Lianyue slowly pulled the ancient bronze sword from the ravine, and the next moment, the bronze sword in her hand emitted a golden light as bright as day.

However, at that moment, a blue lotus flower bloomed in mid-air.

The blue lotus unfolds in myriad forms. When the Pure Blue Lotus blooms, it seems to contain the creation of heaven and earth, and its blue radiance quietly envelops most of the sky.

The Demon Queen narrowed her beautiful eyes, watching the battle between the two Dao Integration experts. She beckoned with her fingertips, and the Mortal Serpent quietly emerged from the demonic mist, seemingly ready to pounce.

"The two older sisters are fighting over Brother Mu's matter, so it would be better if you didn't interfere too much, senior."

However, at that moment, her clear and melodious voice suddenly rang out from under the sky.

The Demon Queen looked up and saw a young girl wearing a beautiful light purple dress.

Her long hair fluttered in the cold wind, revealing a round and delicate face, a pair of clear and bright purple peach blossom eyes, her hands behind her back, and golden chains wrapped around her body.

The long dress wasn't particularly luxurious, but it perfectly accentuated the youthful beauty that someone her age should have. Her long hair was loose, and a faint smile graced her face.

A hint of doubt flashed in the alluring and passionate eyes of the Demon Queen as she said, "The Holy Maiden of the Forbidden Zone? What are you doing here?"

“There seems to be quite a commotion in the Abyss. I was a little worried about Brother Mu, so I came to check it out.”

Ye Lingxuan smiled politely, glanced in the direction of the Abyss, and said softly, "But it seems that Brother Mu is still in the Abyss?"

If it were an ordinary cultivator, even a simple gesture or glance from the Demon Queen would likely cause immense pressure. However, Ye Lingxuan maintained a polite smile on her face.

Although she is only at the Refining Spirit Realm, she was at least at the Harmony Realm in the past, and had stepped into the Harmony Realm more than once.

For Ye Lingxuan, the Demon Queen did not pose much of a threat.

Moreover, Ye Lingxuan's attention was completely focused on Mu Zhian at that moment.

"If I remember correctly, Ye Yu, who stepped into the Abyss before, is your brother, right? He has a very bad relationship with the Mu brother you mentioned, but it seems that you prefer Mu Zhi'an, who is not related to you by blood?"
