It turns out, they were the main characters.

Yao Meng glanced at Mu Zhi'an sideways, then gently raised her hand and placed it in front of the Heavenly Court gate, gently pushing it open.

"The aura of the Dao Integration Realm... Finally, business! I thought you had forgotten about me, big brother."

A clear and melodious voice of a little girl came from the Heavenly Court. Suddenly, a silver-haired little girl behind the gate lunged forward and hugged Mu Zhi'an's leg.

Her soft, flowing silver hair fell naturally, with a single ahoge sticking out on her head. She gently rubbed her face against Mu Zhian's body, like a clingy cat.

"Loli...?"

Yao Meng blinked her bright, emerald-green eyes, then looked at Mu Zhi'an with surprise, as if seeing him for the first time: "You really know how to hide such an adorable little girl in the Heavenly Court..."

Mu Zhian said speechlessly, "If I really hid my wife in Heaven, how could I possibly bring you here as well?"

“She wasn’t hidden here by me; she was originally in the Heavenly Court.”

Yao Meng looked at the silver-haired girl suspiciously for a few moments, then hesitated and asked, "Who is she...?"

"father!"

Yuanluo raised her head, playfully blinked her bright red eyes, looked up at Mu Zhian, and opened her arms for a hug.

"..."

For a fleeting moment, an eerie silence descended upon the Heavenly Court.

Yao Meng looked at Mu Zhian with a puzzled expression, her eyes filled with a gentle, watery light, and slowly uttered a question mark.

Mu Zhian gently patted Yuanluo's head, ruffled her soft hair, and said, "Stop fooling around. Sister Qingdi is my Daoist partner. Let's be serious. We still have important business to attend to later."

Yao Meng narrowed her beautiful eyes, sized up the silver-haired little girl, and said softly, "Who did you have this child with?"

"Calm down. If I really had a daughter, why would I bring you here to meet her?"

Mu Zhian gently pressed down on Yuanluo's ahoge (cowlick), and gently pushed her head away, saying, "The new Heavenly Dao I mentioned earlier refers to this child. You can call her Yuanluo."

Yao Meng remained expressionless, calmly observing Yuan Luo before glancing at Mu Zhi'an with a teasing look: "I thought you were secretly raising a little girl in Heaven as your wife... If that's the case, I should consider locking you in a dark room in Yaochi to reflect on your mistakes."

Then, she continued, seemingly to herself, "She doesn't belong to the Nine Provinces, therefore she's called the New Heavenly Path?"

Yao Meng could naturally see the special features of this Yuanluo... This little girl didn't even have any fluctuations of spiritual energy or even the slightest aura, because she didn't belong to the category of living beings.

If the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Provinces is the will formed by the condensation of all things, then the Iris is the will born from the Heavenly Court.

"By reuniting with the Dao in the Heavenly Court and absorbing the spiritual energy here for one's own use, one can avoid the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Provinces... and there's no need to cultivate again or even reunite with the Dao, is that right?"

As an empress who has stood in the world for thousands of years, Yao Meng immediately knew Mu Zhian's thoughts, and a light like never before flashed in her eyes.

Yuanluo pointed to the gate of the Heavenly Court and smiled, "As long as you step through that gate, you can absorb the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Court for your own use. As for the way to merge with the Dao, since you have merged with the Dao before, you should know how to do it."

Yao Meng nodded silently.

Mu Zhian said, "If you can replenish the depleted cauldron in the Heavenly Court to a full state, you will be able to handle any further disturbances in the Southern Wilderness."

"That's not just about handling things with ease."

Yao Meng revealed a seductive smile and said softly, "Right now, some cultivators in the Nine Provinces know that although I have achieved Dao Integration, I haven't absorbed much spiritual energy into the cauldron. I imagine some people will become complacent because of this."

She lazily raised her eyes and gazed at Mu Zhian: "Perhaps, I can give them a surprise then."

"But we can deal with things later. Right now, there's something else that's on my mind..."

Yao Meng glanced at the silver-haired loli standing beside them with her hands behind her back and asked softly, "Yuanluo, do you know who set the rules of the Heavenly Court?"

"The rules of the Heavenly Court?" Yuanlu blinked, tilted her head, and subconsciously glanced at Mu Zhian.

Yao Meng elegantly gathered a strand of hair with her pinky finger, letting it gently rest on her shoulder. She raised her eyes and said in a languid voice, "You should have seen my attire by now... Someone told me that this is how the Heavenly Court rules are, so I came here dressed like this with him."

Mu Zhian gave Yuanluo a knowing look.

Yuanluo nodded obediently without leaving a trace, secretly giving Mu Zhian a thumbs up to express that 'brother is reliable'.

Then, in a cold and indifferent tone, he said, "He set the rules."

Mu Zhian: "?"

If it weren't for the inappropriate situation, he would have picked up this little iris and given her a good scolding.

"Then I'll leave you two here. I'll return to the Heavenly Court now..."

Yuanluo lifted her skirt, gave a graceful bow in the direction of Mu Zhian, turned around and transformed into pale white light particles, disappearing from sight.

Mu Zhian originally wanted to reach out and grab her back, but when he thought of Yao Meng staring at him menacingly, his hand finally fell limply to his side.

"So, the so-called Heavenly Court rule requiring wearing stockings and skirts was really a terrible idea you came up with yourself, wasn't it?"

Even the most beautiful and ethereal fairy couldn't help but glance at Mu Zhi'an again, her eyes revealing a hint of disdain and contempt, as if to say, "I never thought you were this kind of Mu Zhi'an."

She slightly raised her snow-white chin and smiled at Mu Zhian: "You made me go through so much trouble to change into a dress and stockings and then come to the Heavenly Court with you... Don't you have anything to say now?"

Mu Zhian pondered for a few seconds and said, "I suddenly realized that this kind of look seems to suit you quite well. Can you show this kind of look next time you step on me?"

Yao Meng: "..."

Mu Zhian sighed softly, looked up at Yao Meng again, and said, "I just occasionally want to see you wearing a skirt that shows off your thighs, with black or white stockings and high heels. Is that wrong?!"

"If it weren't for the urgency of the situation and the lack of time to change the rules, I would have actually wanted to let you take the binding rope and the indescribable ball from the attic with you... If possible, it would be best to add a leg ring as well!"

The naturally indifferent Azure Emperor maintained her smile, merely beckoning Mu Zhi'an with her finger.

Then, as he stepped forward, she gently bent her finger and flicked his forehead lightly.

"Next time something like this happens, you need to make it clear to me in advance."

Yao Meng paused, glanced at him, and continued, "If we clarify things, it's not impossible to consider satisfying your fetish..."

Mu Zhian was taken aback: "What about the binding rope and the indescribable ball...?"

Yao Meng gave him a charmingly reproachful look and said softly, "Get lost."

After a while, Xiang Feng left his seat. Looking in the direction where Yao Meng stepped into the Heavenly Court, Mu Zhi'an pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Sister Ye... what about Senior Ye?"

Yao Meng glanced at her and smiled, "She can properly nurture her spiritual consciousness in your innate furnace, so there's no need to worry. As for you... the spiritual energy in the Heavenly Court is incredibly abundant, and absorbing it will only take a few days. I will soon leave the Heavenly Court to see you, so don't worry."

The problem is I'm worried that Sister Ye will get bored being alone in my innate furnace, and I'll also get bored being alone in Yaochi... Mu Zhian nodded slightly: "I understand."

He was just about to leave when he suddenly heard the sound of sexy, melodious high heels clicking on the ground.

Mu Zhian looked up and Yao Meng was already standing in front of him, a slight smile curving her lips. She bent down slightly, placed her hands on her knees, and whispered in his ear in a soft and seductive voice, "The restraint rope you mentioned... I might consider it after I get out."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and kissed him on the cheek.

A slightly cool touch landed on my face, leaving a faint red lip print.

"Waaah..."

Before Yao Meng could speak again, Mu Zhian had already reached out and hugged Yao Meng's slender waist, then raised his head and kissed her soft lips.

The moment their lips touched, Yao Meng was stunned for a moment, then her eyes gradually softened, and she slowly closed them, her long, curled eyelashes trembling gently.

At this moment, a name appeared on Mu Zhian's personal interface, following the first seat.

And following that name, a confirmation reminder appeared.

"I admit it," Mu Zhian said softly to himself as he opened his eyes.

As the two voices mingled intimately with their spiritual energy, Yao Meng suddenly sensed that some kind of constraint between heaven and earth was gradually crumbling.

She slowly opened her eyes and stared at Mu Zhian in surprise.

The rules of heaven and earth have restricted the cultivators of the Nine Provinces from the past to the present, and the Dao Integration Realm is the limit for cultivators.

Mu Zhian handed over the first seat in the Heavenly Court to her.

At this moment, the shackles of the Dao Integration Realm were also broken.

……

After a long while, their lips parted.

Yao Meng gently wiped away the remaining water stains on Mu Zhian's red lips with a handkerchief, and then carefully wiped Mu Zhian's lips.

"You handed over the top position in the Heavenly Court to me, don't you regret it?"

She glanced at the red lipstick mark on his right cheek and gave a charming smile.

This feeling is like having your own mark left on your body, which brings an indescribable sense of pleasure.

"You won't regret giving it to me."

Mu Zhian smiled, a hint of satisfaction in his expression.

A hint of tenderness flashed in Yao Mengmei's eyes as she softly said, "Thank you."

"In a few days, you will see a different me."

Mu Zhian held her soft little hand and smiled, "I'm really looking forward to it."

……

Bai Ruoxi's long hair fluttered in the cold wind, and the enormous heart trembled slightly, a magnificent and turbulent feeling...

She had excellent proportions and a tall, slender figure. Her snow-white palace dress was embroidered with plum blossoms, and she wore a warm cloak over it. She was aloof and delicate, exuding a charm that was enough to make people feel sorry for her.

She had arrived at Yaochi Holy Land a day earlier, but Yaochi Holy Land was no longer what it used to be. The formations were complex and numerous. Although she could force her way in, she would inevitably be noticed by the Azure Emperor.

Therefore, she spent most of the day breaking through the layers of formations without being noticed by any of the Yaochi disciples.

"Is this the sacred land of Yaochi?"

Bai Ruoxi spoke softly, "I wonder if Mu Lang is really here."

“I already confirmed with my spiritual sense that he is in a pavilion facing south, but I did not sense the aura of the Azure Emperor. I don’t know if she has left or what.” Gong Lianyue’s voice came from Bai Ruoxi’s heart.

Before Bai Ruoxi returned to the Void Realm, she was unable to maintain a clear spiritual consciousness. That's why, after breaking the formation, Bai Ruoxi took the lead.

Bai Ruoxi smiled gently, raised her head and gazed in a certain direction of the Yaochi Holy Land. Her voice was clear and resonant as she softly said, "Wouldn't it be better if she weren't here?"

"You can sleep peacefully now. I will find Mu Lang and bring him back to the Liangyi Sect after this."

……

Mu Zhian wiped the red lipstick mark off his face in front of the bronze mirror.

As a seasoned driver who's always surrounded by women, how could he not have this kind of experience?

Yao Meng knew that Young Master Mu liked to eat the rouge on her lips, so she specially put on light makeup and even applied a layer of bright and charming rouge.

As expected, she was nearly devoured by Mu Zhi'an when she entered the Heavenly Court not long ago.
