It turns out, they were the main characters.

Inside the spacious cabin, a smokeless charcoal fire burned brightly.

Yao Meng sat with her legs bent in front of the soft couch. Her snow-white skin was faintly visible under the thin blue gauze dress. Her breasts were full and bulging under the dress, and her snow-white skin was faintly visible in the candlelight.

Seeing Mu Zhi'an approach her, his eyes filled with undisguised affection, Yao Meng's eyes flashed with a shy light. Then, just as he was about to lower his head to kiss her, she suddenly paused and asked doubtfully, "Where is that fragrance coming from?"

The atmosphere in the room froze for a moment.

Yao Meng raised her beautiful eyes, leaned closer to Mu Zhi'an and sniffed, and sure enough, there was a faint fragrance that did not belong to him.

Mu Zhian was equally puzzled: "You've been with me the whole time today, how could neither of us have noticed if there really was a fragrance?"

That makes sense. I've been by Mu Zhi'an's side the whole time; there shouldn't have been anyone who approached me without my knowledge.

"Is it just my imagination...?" Yao Meng thought to herself.

Mu Zhian's heart stirred slightly as he remembered something.

Come to think of it, I had a conversation with the Primordial Witch in my dream before, and she even came close to me. Could it be that...?

If that's the case, then I wasn't dreaming before, but really did have a conversation with the Primordial Witch...

Seeing Yao Meng's thoughtful expression, Mu Zhian had a bad feeling and simply leaned down and buried himself in her arms.

Yao Meng seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "Could it be that the seal on one of the spiritual consciousnesses within the innate furnace has been broken... Hmm~"

She suddenly covered her red lips lightly, looked down at the boy in her arms with her beautiful, moist eyes filled with affection, and said with a hint of reproach, "I still have something important to tell you."

That soft voice, seemingly complaining, actually has the feel of a girlfriend being coquettish.

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Zhian placed his hands on her shoulders, and with Mu Zhian's slight force, Yao Meng fell onto the bed. Her eyes were moist, and she looked hazily at the beam under the ceiling. Her crystal-clear feet under her long dress tensed up unconsciously.

“Nothing is more important than this now. My Eight Desolate Dream Map is just a little short of advancing another level. At that time, I can barely put up a fight even against those in the Void Returning Realm.” Mu Zhi’an looked down at the beauty in his arms and said softly.

Yao Meng bit her lip lightly to keep herself calm and said softly, "Listen to me first. After the wedding, I will clear everything in Holy King City and attempt to ascend to immortality. At that time, the people from Yaochi will take you to the ancestral land."

"If that's the case, is the ancestral land your backup plan?" Mu Zhian muttered to himself.

Yao Meng hummed in agreement.

Mu Zhian suddenly realized something, gazing at Yao Meng's exquisitely beautiful face, and then laughed, "I'm thinking of taking a back route now. Will you take me to the ancestral land later?"

Yao Meng was stunned for a moment and didn't react.

Then I saw his fixed, infatuated gaze.

She gave him a reproachful look, then turned her face away shyly, her stunning profile flushed with an alluring blush, revealing the graceful curve of her jade-like neck.

Under the dim candlelight, the Azure Emperor of the Jade Pool Holy Land appeared shy and timid, her demeanor one of letting others take her as they pleased. She no longer had the teasing older sister air she used to have. Her lips were slightly pursed, and she looked sullen. Her curled eyelashes trembled slightly with shyness.

There is probably no other sight in the world as moving as this. Mu Zhian reached out and made her face him. Gazing at her stunningly beautiful face, he lifted her snow-white chin, lowered his head slightly, and kissed her full red lips.

Yao Meng's eyelashes trembled slightly, her slender fingers twitched slightly, and finally she gently wrapped her arms around his strong waist, the blush on her face becoming even more captivating.

……

Time slipped by unnoticed, and several days passed in the blink of an eye.

As the wedding day drew ever closer, the Holy King City reached an unprecedented level of excitement, with all sorts of strange and unusual costumes visible everywhere.

The only thing missing is the demon cultivator from the demon realm.

At this moment, they are probably still debating whether or not they should awaken the Demon Queen.

On that very day, the chief disciples and elders sent by the Liangyi Sect to offer their congratulations arrived safely at the Yaochi Sacred Land with several disciples...

With only a few days left until the Azure Emperor's wedding, envoys from all sides of the Nine Provinces arrived sometime before the wedding began to witness this grand ceremony.

At the top of Xuan Yue Palace, Mu Zhi'an stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking this ancient sacred land of Yaochi.

A cold wind blew, and his white robes fluttered in the wind. He could vaguely hear the voices of the disciples of the Yaochi Holy Land talking below.

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly so down?"

A soft and melodious voice suddenly echoed in his mind, pulling Mu Zhian back to reality from his previous thoughts.

"Is it because I'm getting married soon? But if nothing unexpected happens, this wedding might not go so easily."

The biggest difference between the Dao Integration Realm and the Feather Transformation Realm is that the former is within the rules of heaven and earth, while the latter is not within the rules, and therefore their cultivation is not restricted.

If the Azure Emperor were to ascend to the Human Emperor and become a human emperor, the first to suffer would likely be the Southern Wilderness and the Western Regions, with whom she had a past feud.

To prevent this possibility, the first thing they need to do is to break the formation of the Yaochi Holy Land, and this wedding is the best opportunity.

"Or are you worried that the Azure Emperor went too far with you on your wedding night? Judging from her attitude towards you the past few days, she probably wouldn't have gone too far." Ye Qingxin's tone was teasing.

The Azure Emperor is unaware that the seal on the Pure Lotus has been broken. Apart from the night before last when Mu Zhian's spiritual energy was depleted, the spiritual energy of the innate furnace has been steadily dissipating.

Mu Zhian was not in the mood for jokes. The cold wind blew his hair, revealing a handsome face. His back looked desolate as he said softly, "Ruoxi and the others seem to have arrived today."

Ye Qingxin hummed in agreement: "Didn't you tell them that this wedding had another purpose? They should understand, right?"

“If it were me, I would certainly understand you,” she continued.

I understand, I understand. Sister Ye has a broad mind, just like your heart, which is vast and full. The other girls around me have a smaller perspective... Mu Zhian realized that Ye Qingxin was praising him.

“I had told them about the wedding before, but Ruoxi and the others didn’t say much,” Mu Zhian said.

However, although he had said so, and they had all tacitly agreed, if in the end those hiding in the shadows, fearing Yao Meng's lingering influence, continued to lurk in the darkness and watch them get married...

Wouldn't that mean I'm going to kick the bucket?

It can be said that Young Master Mu made a great sacrifice for Yao Meng's plan.

"Sister Ye, do you think the power of the Measuring Ruler is comparable to that of an ancestral artifact?" Mu Zhian suddenly asked.

"That's natural. The Heavenly Lock was most likely the weapon of the Lord of Heaven in the past. It can change to the most suitable weapon according to the owner's personality. Even if it loses its divinity, its power alone is no less than that of the ancestral weapon."

Ye Qingxin looked at him with a hint of doubt and asked, "Why are you asking this out of the blue?"

Mu Zhian said sadly, "I was just wondering, if I were bound by more than three ancestral artifacts at the same time, could the Measuring Ruler break free?"

Ye Qingxin: "?"

"Never mind, it's okay, I'm actually fine."

Mu Zhian shook off his worries and was about to jump down from the palace to go back to meditate and cultivate when he suddenly felt a fragrant breeze coming from his side.

Despite the other party's intention to conceal their presence, Mu Zhian still managed to detect the woman behind him immediately.

He pretended not to notice, but vaguely heard light footsteps behind him.

"Young Master Mu, were you waiting for me to ambush you? You noticed it a long time ago, didn't you?"

Suddenly, a soft, pleasant voice came from behind him. Mu Zhian turned his head to look, but Regina had already turned into a blur and appeared in front of him the next moment.

A delicate fragrance, like that of roses, wafted over, and then a beautiful face with exotic charm came into view. The two faces were almost touching, as if they could feel each other's breath so close together.

"Regina, when did you get up here?" Mu Zhian asked in surprise.

A beautiful woman with long, light golden hair looked at him with a smile and said calmly, "Young Master Mu is quite the actor. You have a chaotic physique, which includes an innate spiritual body. How could you not know that I secretly came up to find you?"

Mu Zhian shrugged: "Since you know I'm a Chaos Body, why did you go to the trouble of secretly concealing your aura?"

Regina smiled sweetly: "I just wanted to test how much your innate spiritual body differs from Miss Ye's."

Mu Zhian gazed at her. Today, the Holy Maiden of the Southern Wilderness was wearing a dark-patterned dress. Her features were delicate, and her beautiful, sickly eyes were moist. Her fair skin appeared slightly pale, as if she were a young lady who had lived a secluded life for many years.

The black dress accentuated her fair and translucent skin.

"What's wrong? Young Master Mu will soon be a married man, so we should keep a little distance from each other," Regina said with a chuckle.

Mu Zhian withdrew his gaze and said, "Seeing that you're in a much better mood, I'm relieved."

Regina was taken aback, then chuckled softly: "What do you mean by that, Young Master Mu?"

“If Xueyi finds you in the end, perhaps only one of your spiritual consciousnesses will survive in this world?” Mu Zhian said.

"You've probably been troubled by this for a long time now."

Regina remained silent.

Mu Zhian is right; she has indeed been thinking about this matter these past few days.

She was a 'doll' prepared by Xueyi in the past. Once the Three Pillar Gods of the Southern Wilderness found Xueyi, they would let her spirit devour them, and then there would be no more Regina in this world.

"If my consciousness disappears afterward, our agreement can be dropped."

Regina suddenly chuckled: "Young Master Mu can also trade his innate Dao Embryo and reincarnation spiritual energy with others."

"Are you afraid of dying?" Mu Zhian asked calmly, without any expression.

She nodded slightly, but quickly shook her head.

"Don't worry, there are four complete Dao Integration Realm experts in the Eastern Continent. If you stay in the Southern Wilderness, the Three Pillar Gods won't dare to come looking for you in a big way. Besides, they don't even know where Xueyi is right now. Even if they did, the Three Pillar Gods definitely wouldn't dare to make any rash moves until Yao Meng transcends her tribulation and ascends to the Ascension Realm."

Mu Zhian sneered, "I never thought that the arrogant Holy Maiden of the Southern Wilderness would have a cowardly side."

"I just feel very unwilling to give away all the hard work I've put into my cultivation over the years so easily," Regina said softly.

"Then stay in Yaochi and cultivate in peace."

Mu Zhian smiled and said, "I will guarantee you will live until the agreement between us is fulfilled."

Regina smiled silently. She wanted to say what a sixth-grade Refining Spirit could possibly change, but then she realized that Mu Zhi'an was the only person in the entire Kyushu who would say that to her, so she remained silent.

"I'm going back now."

She turned and disappeared from the palace, walking among the disciples of Yaochi, but she seemed out of place and somewhat lonely.

……

Back in the attic, Mu Zhian sat cross-legged on the soft couch and stretched out his palm.

In the palm of his hand, a drop of essence blood emitting a soft glow appeared in his field of vision.

This drop of essence blood is suspected to have been left behind by someone from the Immortal Ascension Realm. Apart from the Demon Queen, probably no one in this world can refine it.

But Mu Zhian is an exception.

"If we refine it, I wonder if it will leave any aftereffects..." Mu Zhian sighed with some worry.

A few days ago, he fainted immediately after merely scanning the drop of essence blood with his spiritual sense, and even had a dream.

If it were refined, who knows what would happen?
