It turns out, they were the main characters.

Bai Ruoxi slowly shook her head: "I'm not really sure either, since I haven't returned to the Liangyi Sect since I went to the Abyss."

"Speaking of which, there will be a pill-refining competition soon after the Ascension Ceremony, and the winner will receive an eighth-grade pill..."

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment and said, "If we can win the competition, it would be more natural to get Luo Tan to replace that pill with the Tai Xu Pill."

If he fails to win the match, he might have to sell his body...

Bai Ruoxi was taken aback: "The Great Void Pill?"

"Mu Lang wants the Tai Xu Pill, could it be for..."

Mu Zhian nodded slightly and said seriously, "That's right, it's for the fox-eared girl!"

As he spoke, he reached behind Bai Ruoxi and groped around for a while, then asked in confusion, "Speaking of which, where are your tail and ears?"

Bai Ruoxi glanced at Mu Zhian reproachfully and whispered, "Even demon cultivators can hide their identities and make themselves look no different from ordinary cultivators."

"Thinking back now, I should have turned you into a fox-eared girl..." Mu Zhian was filled with regret.

"You really like fox-eared girls that much?" Bai Ruoxi tilted her head in confusion, unable to understand Mu Zhian's strange quirk.

It's just three more tails and a pair of fox ears... what's the difference between her and how she is now?

"Fox-eared girls are extremely rare... and occasionally becoming a fox-eared girl can be very novel. There are many ways to do this, so how about we try a different approach next time?"

Mu Zhian gently embraced the girl's waist, allowing her to lean more intimately against him and fully appreciate the fragrance and softness of her delicate body.

"If you like it so much, Makirou, then let's do it next time..."

Bai Ruoxi closed her eyes slightly and nestled in Mu Zhian's arms.

"Oh, right..."

After a while, she suddenly thought of something, took out a blooming purple flower from her sleeve, raised her eyes slightly to look at Mu Zhian, and said softly, "The hydrangea that Mu Lang gave me before, was it really given by the Queen of the Demon Realm?"

As she finished speaking, her bright eyes stared intently at Mu Zhi'an.

The hydrangea that Mu Zhian obtained from the first Demon Emperor is completely different from the one he obtained from the Demon Queen.

If it came from the first Demon Emperor, then it would be equivalent to Mu Zhi'an giving it to her.

But if it's a magical artifact obtained from the Demon Queen... then who knows what price Mu Zhian paid when he asked the Demon Queen for this artifact that shields against demonic energy?

"I got it from the Queen of the Demon Realm," Mu Zhian answered truthfully without much thought.

Bai Ruoxi asked this question because she already knew, but just wanted to hear him say it again in person. There was no point in lying at this point.

Besides, the love lock on the side was also watching them intently.

Bai Ruoxi's eyes welled up with tears as she gazed at Mu Zhi'an softly, saying, "As my cultivation level gradually increases, the demonic energy within me will also become more intense. Finding a way to shield myself from this demonic energy is indeed urgent, but no matter what, I don't want Mu Lang to go out of his way to ask a complete stranger for my sake..."

This feeling is somewhat similar to a wife secretly obtaining a special document from the boss of another large company to help her husband...

Thinking of the arrogant appearance of the Demon Queen, and then of how Mu Zhi'an would have to beg her to get the purple hydrangea that shielded him from demonic energy, Bai Ruoxi subconsciously gripped her skirt, gently biting her lip, feeling both annoyed and aggrieved.

Seeing this, Mu Zhian took her little hand and guided her to sit on his lap.

The girl's buttocks pressed down gently through her white dress, her weight falling entirely on Mu Zhi'an's body. However, the girl was actually not heavy, especially since Mu Zhi'an cultivated the path of body refinement.

He wrapped his arms around Bai Ruoxi's slender waist from behind, and looking at her angry and aggrieved appearance, he gently comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm just having a normal transaction with the Demon Queen. I continue to provide her with useful information, and she gives me a hydrangea in return."

The usually aloof Miss Bai gives off an impression of being unapproachable and untouchable, but at this moment, her moist, misty eyes evoke an urge to hold her tightly in one's arms and cherish her.

"Don't let the Demon Queen's arrogant appearance fool you, she actually has a pretty good temper." As Mu Zhi'an finished speaking, he silently buried his face in the girl's fragrant, cascading black hair and hugged her delicate body tightly.

"Mu Lang doesn't understand the Demon Queen at all. She's no pushover and can't possibly be nice to you on her own. Every step she takes must have a purpose."

Bai Ruoxi said in a low voice, "Fortunately, the Demon Queen will be in seclusion for more than half a year this time. Even if she has any purpose, my other spiritual consciousness will have already awakened by the end of the six months. At that time, I will no longer have to worry about her plotting against you."

Why do you talk like I'm some kind of innocent little white rabbit... Mu Zhian thought to himself, but outwardly he just said "hmm".

He was penniless, and the Demon Queen would help him either because she valued his abilities or because she desired his body. In any case, it didn't matter to Mu Zhi'an.

However, Ruoxi also felt sorry for her Mulang, so he naturally wouldn't pour cold water on her at this moment.

After all, Naihee has the biggest breasts, so whatever she says is right!

The two spent a while longer being intimate inside the room. Bai Ruoxi blushed and lowered her head, silently tidying her disheveled clothes and loose hair. Noticing the burning gaze of the young man behind her, she whispered, "Do you plan to stay in Yaochi?"

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go back to the Liangyi Sect first."

Yao Meng will be in seclusion in the Heavenly Court for at least a few days. During that time, the Ascension Conference will be nearing its end, and Luo Tan's alchemy competition will begin soon.

In addition, we need to confirm whether Ye Yu is dead or not... In any case, we have to go back.

Moreover, he was determined to obtain the Taixu Pill, which enabled demon cultivators to evolve.

Mu Zhian first placed Yao Meng's immortal body in the ancient coffin, then glanced at the faintly visible blue lotus in the room before turning around and walking out of the pavilion with Bai Ruoxi.

The Pure World Lotus was summoned by Yao Meng as a precaution. Apart from those she acknowledges, anyone who dares to approach it will be suppressed by the Pure World Lotus.

Yao Meng clearly hadn't expected that someone she 'approved' would actually step into the attic...

……

The Two Elements Sect.

Three days ago, the abyss was frequently tremored, but it did not affect the prosperity and liveliness of the place.

The sect is filled with a rich and ethereal spiritual energy. Raindrops fall on the bronze-colored buildings, adding to the ancient beauty of this immortal sect that has stood in the world and witnessed countless dynasties.

"So, you were framed by the master of the Abyss and thus trapped in the Abyss Palace for ten thousand years?"

At this moment, Ye Yu was flying on his sword towards the direction of the Liangyi Sect, while in his mind he was talking to Xue Yi, the God of Space, who was hiding in his storage ring.

"The master of this Abyss is truly treacherous and cunning. Not only did he take all the immortal opportunities in the Abyss with him, but he also plotted to harm other cultivators!"

Listening to Xueyi's story, Ye Yu appeared indignant, but in reality, he was secretly delighted.

Unexpectedly, although they missed the chance to become immortals in the Abyss, they encountered the fourth pillar god of the Southern Wilderness who had been tricked and harmed in the Abyss.

Yao Shan died, but he found a Dao Integration Realm spirit to protect him!

Moreover, she was such a sexy beauty, whose looks were in no way inferior to his former fiancée Bai Ruoxi, nor to his younger sister Ye Lingxuan.

Although it's not a good idea to think this way, Ye Yu is very glad that Xue Yi was framed by the master of the Abyss. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get such a great deal, awaken her through the Heavenly Dao Qi in his body, and even make her follow him.

"Senior Xueyi, please rest assured, I will do everything I can to help you rebuild your body! I am an alchemist, and I will surely find a way in the future!" Ye Yu vowed confidently.

"There's no need to solidify the body."

Xueyi’s voice was calm and gentle as she leisurely said, “Before I went to the Abyss, I spent a lot of effort creating a body in order to step into the Feather Transformation Realm. I sealed it in an array and nurtured it with many rare and precious materials. That body can shield the secrets of heaven, ignore the rules of heaven and earth, and read the spiritual consciousness of others.”

"If I'm not mistaken, she should have already become the Holy Maiden of the Southern Wilderness as agreed."

"Once I find her, I will have a way to be reborn."

Ye Yu paused for a moment, then repeated, "The Holy Maiden of the Southern Wilderness?"

"Can you help me? You're the only person I can rely on right now," Xueyi said softly.

Her soft, pleasant voice and delicate demeanor captivated Ye Yu with just a few words, leaving him completely mesmerized.

"I understand, I will do my best to help you!" Ye Yu said immediately.

Sheryl smiled charmingly: "...Good boy."

"But before that, I have some old and new grudges to settle with Mu Zhian..." Ye Yu said again, his eyes filled with undisguised hatred.

At this moment, Ye Yu seemed to sense something and raised his head slightly to look up. He saw a dragon-bird that seemed to cover the sky soaring within the Liangyi Sect.

Two other people were sitting on the dragon-sparrow. The former was dressed in a snow-white white dress and had a gentle and elegant demeanor.

The latter, dressed in a magnificent black robe with gold trim, possessed an extraordinary bearing. Although her skin was slightly pale, it did not look out of place at all; on the contrary, it added to her sickly air. At first glance, it was enough to arouse the protective instincts of many older women.

The two were naturally Mu Zhian and Bai Ruoxi, who had just ridden the dragon-bird of Yaochi Holy Land to Liangyi Sect half a day ago.

Mu Zhian clearly noticed Ye Yu as well, and looked over in that direction. Then, his dark eyes flickered slightly before quickly becoming as deep and calm as a still pool.

Ye Yu raised his head and looked up at the sky not far away, a cold smile on his face: "Didn't expect that, did you, Mu Zhi'an?"

I am still alive... and I know about your affair with the Queen of the Demon Realm.

He stared intently at Mu Zhi'an, trying to see surprise, confusion, bewilderment, or even...fear on Mu Zhi'an's face!

Mu Zhian maintained a smile and remained calm as he beckoned the dragon sparrow to land, greeting it first: "Brother Ye, it's been a long time. You seem to be in much worse shape."

Ye Yu's face turned cold: "Mu Zhian, it's just the two of us here. There's no need to be so secretive about what we want to say or do. It just seems hypocritical."

Mu Zhian exclaimed "Oh!" as if suddenly realizing something, and turned his head to kiss Bai Ruoxi's pretty face.

Bai Ruoxi gave Mu Zhian a resentful sidelong glance, then lowered her head and buried her face in his chest, looking obedient and sensible.

Ye Yu's face darkened with anger, and he said, "You—"

Seeing the once aloof Miss Bai now so obedient and gentle in Mu Zhian's arms, even though she had no relationship with Bai Ruoxi anymore, Ye Yu felt an unnamed anger burning in his chest.

"Didn't you say you could do whatever you wanted without hiding anything?" Mu Zhi'an spread his hands innocently, then gently patted Long Que's head, signaling that it could leave.

Ye Yu took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

This time is different from the last. You wanted to kill me with the help of the Demon Queen in the Abyss, but can the Demon Queen still help you in the Two Elements Sect?

That won't work.

Even more so, the fact that Mu Zhian colluded with the Demon Queen could be the final straw that breaks Mu Zhian's back!

Moreover, he now has a Dao Integration Realm spirit assisting him within his body.

Therefore, he needs to win the alchemy competition to nourish the spiritual consciousness within his body with an eighth-grade pill!

Thinking of this, Ye Yu had completely calmed down. He clenched his fists and said coldly, "See you in the alchemy competition."

Chapter 372 Devouring Ye Yu's Luck, the Third Chosen One!

"It's a bit surprising that Ye Yu is actually still alive."

"However, his luck is likely to be as fragile as a candle in the wind after this. If we can take this opportunity to get rid of him, perhaps I can obtain a second share of the Heavenly Dao's luck..."

Mu Zhian rode the dragon sparrow all the way to Tianhe Garden, pondering Ye Yu's matter. Before long, he arrived at Tianhe Garden.

"Brother Mu!"

A clear, melodious voice rang out from in front of the villa. A girl in a purple dress walked over with small, delicate steps, like an elf, a pure and sweet smile on her exquisite face.

A cold wind blew by, rippling the pond and lifting the girl's skirt, revealing a glimpse of her snow-white legs.
