It turns out, they were the main characters.

But when her gaze fell on Mu Zhian, a ripple couldn't help but stir in her clear, emerald-green eyes.

So cute...

……

There were no obstacles on the way, and Yao Meng and the others brought Mu Zhian back to the Yaochi Holy Land in less than half an incense stick's time.

The wedding in Holy King City had already ended as scheduled. Most cultivators were unaware of what had happened, let alone that while they were still wondering why so many powerful figures had made frequent moves today, a Human Emperor at the Feather Transformation Realm had already descended upon the Nine Provinces.

As soon as they stepped into the sacred land of Yaochi, Ye Lingxuan and Lan Feiying immediately came to greet them. When Lan Feiying saw the boy who was still unconscious, she was almost stunned.

"How...how could he have become like this?"

She naturally knew that this person was Mu Zhi'an, but she still found it hard to believe that his appearance had changed from a handsome young man to a... cute big boy?

Ye Lingxuan was also stunned. Even though the Reincarnated Empress had explained the whole story to her, she still found it hard to believe when she saw Mu Zhian.

Brother Mu looks younger than me now...?

Ye Lingxuan looked up and asked, "When will Brother Mu recover?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be ready soon," Yao Meng said, gazing tenderly at the sleeping boy.

"At least we can be sure that he has not suffered any lasting effects, so you can rest assured."

"I know... but I still think the mature Mu-gege is more charming," Ye Lingxuan muttered.

Even so, young Mu-gege isn't bad at all now...

After all, if Mu Zhian were to wake up now, he would still have to call her "older sister" based on their ages.

Yao Meng parted her lips slightly and said softly, "I will find a way to help him recover as soon as possible."

"So let him stay in Guiyi Pavilion during this period. This will make it easier for me to conduct experiments and help him recover as soon as possible."

Gong Lianyue looked at Yao Meng with a smile and said, "The Azure Emperor must have been injured during his tribulation today. It would be too tiring for you to do it alone. Let me share the burden with you."

The little girl idolizes the older brother, and the older sister also likes the little boy... Ye Lingxuan naturally doesn't understand the thoughts flashing rapidly through the minds of these women who have lived through the ages.

Even a proud woman like Gong Lianyue was involuntarily drawn to the young Mu Zhian.

Lan Feiying's charming and beautiful face was adorned with light makeup, her eyes sparkling as she stared at Mu Zhian. She nodded in agreement and said, "Senior Gong is right. It would be too tiring for Senior Qingdi to take care of him alone."

"Besides, you all lost a lot of spiritual energy helping Senior Qingdi through his ascension tribulation, so it would be better for you to share the burden and take care of him."

Yao Meng frowned slightly, but she didn't know what to say at the moment, so she nodded silently.

If I insist on taking care of him alone now, wouldn't it make people think that the Green Emperor has some strange hobby?

Compared to the others, Wei Mengrou and Ye Qian remained the most composed throughout. For them, as long as it was Mu Zhian, it didn't matter what age he was.

“I have already had a medicinal bath prepared. There is a bathhouse behind the Xuan Yue Hall in the Yaochi Holy Land. You can go there to meditate and recuperate,” Yao Meng said.

Gong Lianyue sneered inwardly. She hadn't known Yao Meng for long, but she could guess what the other woman was thinking.

Because she had the same thought.

"Why don't we take him to Guiyi Pavilion for recuperation first, and then head to Xuan Yue Palace together?" Gong Lianyue said with a smile.

Since I can't be alone with him right now, let's all just die together and no one can steal his affections.

This woman… Yao Meng secretly made a mental note of this, but she had to maintain a gentle smile on her face: “Fine.”

I'll go find him after I take a shower...

……

Mu Zhian felt as if he were in a dark, deep sea, constantly falling downwards.

He could clearly feel the entire process of his cauldron going from breaking to being repaired, and he even heard Yao Meng's voice in his hazy consciousness earlier.

That's why he was able to sleep peacefully, knowing that Yao Meng had succeeded.

It wasn't easy being a kept man... but things will be much easier from now on. Once I hand over the second and third seats to the 'protagonists' around me, I can finally relax.

Thinking of this, Mu Zhian felt his mood gradually improve, and suddenly he saw a ray of light in the deep sea as he was falling.

He reached out and grabbed at the light, and then, as his consciousness gradually cleared, Mu Zhian slowly opened his eyes.

The room was quiet; there wasn't a soul in sight.

Where is my wife? Why is she all alone? Shouldn't she be gathered around my bedside, asking after me with concern...? Mu Zhian felt frustrated and wanted to pinch the bridge of her nose, but then she realized that her sleeves were too long.

Ok?

He stared at the overly long sleeves, lost in thought.

"These are definitely my clothes..."

When the voice that was talking to itself came from inside the room, Mu Zhian was stunned to hear that the voice seemed a little more childish than before.

Then, he had a vague premonition of something bad. He quickly got off the bed, went to the dressing table next to him, and picked up the bronze mirror on the table.

A familiar face appeared in the mirror, with soft, fluffy black hair that was slightly messy. Although it was not hard to see that the boy in the mirror already had the beginnings of a handsome face, he was now even more adorable.

Her slightly pale skin made her more appealing to older women, and her dark eyes held a naive and innocent clarity.

boom!

Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, Mu Zhian felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck him, leaving him completely stunned.

A voice seemed to echo in my mind: 'What happened? What happened...'

Then, a thought flashed through my mind: How can there be such a handsome and cute boy in this world... Pshaw, why am I getting more and more like a descent into madness?

This went from a handsome young boy to a fourteen or fifteen-year-old young man...

"Have I traveled to another time, or am I dreaming? Why did I become like this...?"

Mu Zhian gazed at his reflection in the bronze mirror and fell into deep thought for a long time.

……

The Two Elements Sect.

"Are you relieved now? The Azure Emperor has ascended to heaven and has been brought back to the Jade Pool Holy Land."

In the quiet courtyard, Shang Yanfei sat under the eaves, watching the misty drizzle outside. Her voice, like the texture of ice cubes falling into a water glass, had a mature and elegant charm.

A gentle breeze blows, and pink petals drift lightly onto the lake's surface, creating ripples.

Lan Mulian calmly said, "My junior brother is a disciple of the Liangyi Sect. Today, the Azure Emperor is undergoing his ascension, and at least three major forces in the Nine Provinces are involved, even attempting to kidnap him as a hostage. If this matter gets out, other forces will likely think that our sect's disciples are easy prey, which will ultimately have a negative impact."

Senior Sister Lan was still wearing a white dress embroidered with pure lotus flowers. Her snow-white shawl was intricately patterned. She was no more than twenty years old, with her black hair flowing down, which accentuated her beautiful, snow-white face. This outfit added a touch of maturity to her appearance.

With only a few specks of dust on her dress, it's easy to imagine how much effort she had put in to get back to the Liangyi Sect as quickly as possible.

Shang Yanfei glanced at her disciple, her eyes playful: "Is this why you specially rushed back to the sect to ask me for help?"

Unlike her disciples, the sect leader wore a magnificent robe embroidered with black patterns, which hugged the woman's tall and mature figure. Her long, raven-black hair cascaded down to her slender waist, and her pale golden eyes held a mysterious allure.

She sat with her voluptuous legs crossed beneath her skirt, her full, firm breasts proudly supporting the gorgeous dress, her posture both languid and elegant.

This kind of mysterious charm is most likely to attract young boys.

Lan Mulian nodded first, then quickly shook her head: "Master probably already knew he would face this calamity."

Shang Yanfei, unusually, did not answer, gazing at the calm lake surface.

After a long silence, she said quietly, "I'm not a god in this world, how could I possibly know what will happen to him in the future?"

Lan Mulian's eyes flickered slightly, and she said softly, "But isn't Master able to deduce the secrets of heaven—"

"To deduce the secrets of heaven, the other party must be able to deduce them."

Shang Yanfei glanced at her senior sister in the white dress with a cool and aloof demeanor and said leisurely, "If you hadn't arrived in time, I might not have had a chance to get Lin Ling to speak."

Lan Mulian paused for a moment, then said softly, "I wonder if he's safe now."

Shang Yanfei said with a smile, "If you are so worried, I can simulate the scene in Yaochi Holy Land for you to confirm whether he is safe."

Noticing her beautiful master's meaningful gaze, Lan Mulian opened her mouth slightly, then hesitated for a moment.

If I were to speak up, wouldn't that be admitting that I'm genuinely worried about my junior brother?

But if you don't speak...

Noticing her master's teasing gaze, the aloof and elegant woman in the white dress involuntarily turned her face away, a blush spreading across her cheeks, and said softly, "Then please, Master, perform a divination."

"You still can't face your own heart."

Shang Yanfei smiled sweetly.

She rose gracefully, her black gown billowing slightly in the wind. She closed her eyes slightly, and the bracelet on her wrist emitted a soft hum.

Lan Mulian's eyes flickered slightly. She seemed to vaguely hear the clanging of shackles coming from somewhere.

Then, she raised her head and gazed at the stunningly beautiful figure from behind, as well as the woman's exquisite profile, a hint of longing flashing in the depths of her beautiful eyes for the first time.

For cultivators in the Eastern Continent, if the first Holy Maiden of Yaochi Holy Land is the dream lover in people's hearts, then this sect leader is the most revered existence among cultivators in the Eastern Continent. Although 99% of cultivators have never seen her face, the remaining few who have seen her will only forget her appearance.

Even so, he would still remember her mystery and intellect... Mu Zhian would also remember her bra size.

Even someone as proud as Lan Mulian, the number one genius in the Nine Provinces, deeply admires her master, but she is not good at expressing her feelings.

"what……?"

At this moment, Shang Yanfei suddenly let out a surprised cry, her brows furrowing slightly, as if she had seen something she shouldn't have.

Lan Mulian's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she immediately asked, "What did Master see?"

It's hard to imagine that even this master could let out such a surprised exclamation.

After a long silence, Shang Yanfei said softly, "If you don't go to Yaochi soon, your junior brother might be devoured."

Lan Mulian frowned slightly, her voice clear and melodious: "Master, please don't joke... Could it be that he's encountered danger?"

"It wouldn't be considered dangerous."

Shang Yanfei gently shook her head, remained silent for a while, then looked at the silver-haired beauty who was playing chess alone not far away, and said softly, "Let Lin Ling tell you."

She telepathically spoke to Lin Ling, saying something to her.

“Aaaa”.

Lin Ling nodded, then took out a bronze mirror. The mirror reflected a stunningly beautiful face with silver hair cascading over her snow-white shoulders. Although she looked cute and innocent, she had a large bust.

Lin Ling said, "This mirror can reflect the scenery of Yaochi."
