It turns out, they were the main characters.

Mu Zhian nodded and smiled, "This is all thanks to you all protecting me."

His gaze then fell upon the empress, who was dressed in an elegant white dress. She sat in front of a chair, her left leg crossed over her right, her beautiful legs dangling in black stockings, her clear, bright eyes scrutinizing the young man.

"I also thank Senior Medicine Emperor for refining the Tai Xu Pill for me," Mu Zhi'an said with a gentle smile.

"I am merely refining the Tai Xu Pill for you, but whether you can evolve into a Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox depends on your own talent."

Luo Tan was clearly in a great mood, her beautiful eyes scrutinizing the white-robed youth with great interest.

After a moment's hesitation, she looked at his face a few more times and asked hesitantly, "What's with this pink glow on you? Can't you hide it?"

Mu Zhian was startled and looked down at his own body.

Only then did he realize that his body was enveloped in a faint pink light.

Mu Zhian hesitated for a moment, then said, "Sister Mengrou, could you give me a bronze mirror?"

Wei Mengrou hummed in agreement, got up, took out a bronze mirror from her storage ring, walked up to the young master, and handed it to him.

Mu Zhian glanced at himself in the bronze mirror and found that he could not see his own face clearly. It was somewhat similar to the faint glow on Yao Meng's body, giving people an ambiguous feeling of being neither close nor distant, and difficult to see clearly.

"Could this also be one of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's abilities? Is this some kind of mystery game...?"

Mu Zhian muttered something to himself, then completely concealed the pink light.

Everything went very smoothly. It seems this sorcery is quite convenient. Now, in addition to the 'black mist' method, I have another way to conceal my presence...

Just as Mu Zhian was thinking this, he noticed that Wei Mengrou was staring at him intently.

"What's wrong? Has my face turned into a fox's head or something?"

Mu Zhian's heart sank, and he immediately reached out and touched his face.

There was no furry texture, yet Wei Mengrou's usually aloof and beautiful face involuntarily flushed red, and she lowered her eyes, no longer daring to look at the young master.

Yao Meng and Luo Tan exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes. They then stood up and approached the boy.

This glance left both powerful beings at the Dao Integration Realm stunned.

The Mu Zhi'an who appeared in the three's field of vision at this moment had a straight posture, an extremely handsome face, a high nose, clear and bright eyes, and a perfectly pursed lip.

Although there has been no overall change, it always gives people a sense of flawless perfection, and its temperament exudes an inexplicable charm that always draws people's attention.

This...this is the effect of the Taixu Pill?? Yao Meng's rosy lips parted slightly, her beautiful eyes staring in astonishment at the handsome young man before her. She stared and stared, momentarily lost in thought.

She believed him when he said he was taking some kind of elixir that could change his appearance...

Luo Tan was also somewhat surprised, her gaze lingering on his face for a long time.

Even though she had seen all sorts of prodigies in this non-cultivation dynasty, she had never seen such a handsome face.

Most importantly, his aura always possesses a mysterious and captivating charm.

However, to avoid arousing the suspicion of the Azure Emperor, Luo Tan quickly turned his gaze away as if burying his head in the sand.

No rush, there's plenty of time to appreciate it later...

"Have I changed that much? My face is just a little more refined, nothing else has changed..." Mu Zhian thought to himself, but seeing that the three beauties were completely attracted, he couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.

"Sister Mengrou, what's wrong?" Mu Zhian asked deliberately.

Wei Mengrou snapped out of her daze, raised her beautiful eyes to glance at the boy, a faint blush still lingering on her face, and said, "N-nothing, you should go take a bath, you're all sweaty."

Perhaps due to consuming the Taixu Pill and evolving into the ultimate three-tailed fox, Mu Zhian underwent a complete transformation during this period. Now, even without using spiritual energy, his physical body alone can withstand cultivators of the same realm.

Although there are still many questions I want to ask Luo Tan and Yao Meng, such as the past of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, it is not appropriate to sit down and chat in this situation.

So, at Luo Tan's instruction, Mu Zhian was soon led by a servant to the bathhouse for a medicinal bath.

……

In the misty bath, Mu Zhian leaned lazily against the corner of the tub, stretched, and then took out a bronze mirror from his storage ring, examining the young man in the mirror.

He had delicate and handsome features, soft hair, fair skin, and an indescribable charm in his dark eyes.

"So handsome! He's handsome from every angle."

Mu Zhian placed the bronze mirror aside with a sigh, and couldn't help but exclaim in genuine admiration.

It wasn't that he was narcissistic, but after taking the Taixu Pill, his appearance had indeed improved dramatically. Most importantly, the aura he exuded would unconsciously attract the attention of the opposite sex.

This is perfect! It's even more immersive than before...

Mu Zhian leaned back on the edge of the bath, stretched, and enjoyed the hot spring bath.

After about fifteen minutes, he suddenly seemed to vaguely hear footsteps approaching from behind him.

Turning my head, I saw a woman in a white dress and snow-white boots walking gracefully into the bathhouse through the misty air.

"The Taixu Pill can transform a demon cultivator. Although I already knew about this, it was still somewhat unexpected that the Taixu Pill could even work on cultivators from the Eastern Continent."

Sister Luo, is it really okay for you to just barge into someone else's bath like that...? Mu Zhian said reservedly, "It's all thanks to His Majesty. If it weren't for the Taixu Pill, I'm afraid I would still be in that boy's form and it would be difficult to recover, let alone evolve into a nine-tailed celestial fox."

As he said this, he couldn't help but glance at the woman standing by the bathtub.

Perhaps because she was going to the bathhouse, she wasn't wearing her usual black stockings that revealed her snow-white skin. Underneath the layers of her elaborate white skirt, her bare, delicate white legs were exposed. She bent over slightly and removed one of her white boots.

Noticing Mu Zhian's gaze that was involuntarily drawn to her, Luo Tan unconsciously smiled faintly.

She leaned down slightly and said teasingly, "Mind if I sit next to you for a while?"

"Your Majesty, the Azure Emperor and the others should still be outside... It would be better not to do this," Mu Zhian said reservedly.

Although he was somewhat tempted, he was a competent fishpond owner and wouldn't make such a basic mistake.

If Yao Meng comes in and sees this later, it will be difficult to handle.

Could I possibly tell her that Sister Luo came to the bath to heal me? She's a natural-born cauldron of healing, her constitution is practically a one-of-a-kind 'elixir' in the world. If she came in to bathe, it would be like I was taking a medicinal bath...

Luo Tan bent down and removed the other snow-white boot, looking at the boy with a slight smile, and said, "I have already told the Azure Emperor and the Primordial Demoness that after you refine the Taixu Pill today, you will need to take another pill for the Taixu Pill to be completely refined."

"Therefore, I will take you to my palace in a moment."

Mu Zhi'an was taken aback: "I should have already refined the Tai Xu Pill and even advanced to the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox level, so why would I need any more pills—"

He paused, gazing at the beautiful woman sitting by the bathtub, her fair feet dangling, and seemed to understand something.

The natural furnace itself is the best elixir.

"Speaking of which, now that I can see through a person's weaknesses, does that mean I can also see through someone at the Dao Integration Realm...?"

Suddenly, Mu Zhian had a thought and secretly activated his demonic magic, a pink light flashing in his dark eyes.

He stared at the woman who was tying her long hair into two braids and playing in the water with her toes.

Luo Tan glanced at her side slightly, then suddenly smiled brightly: "What's wrong?"

Her words were full of the teasing and playful tone of an older sister flirting with a boy.

Mu Zhian placed one hand on her beautiful leg, then stood up and leaned close to her ear, gently breathing on it.

"Is this His Majesty's weakness?"

The elegant and noble Medicine Queen trembled slightly, shifting her body quickly and sensitively, staring at Mu Zhi'an in surprise: "How did you know?"

Wow, her weakness really is her ears?

Mu Zhian was somewhat surprised.

Holy crap, this nine-tailed celestial fox can even see through the weaknesses of a Dao Integration Realm cultivator...?

Although he knew that Luo Tan might be completely unprepared in front of him, which was why things went so smoothly, this sorcery, if used properly, could even play a huge role in actual combat.

I wonder what Yao Meng and Sister Mengrou's weaknesses are...

Okay, I'll give it a try later.

When Mu Zhian thought of this, he quickly gathered his thoughts.

He glanced at a maidservant who was vaguely standing outside the bath, and suddenly asked curiously, "By the way, why don't I see Sister Gan Sui?"

Luo Tanqiao's face still held the blush from Mu Zhian's earlier teasing. Hearing this, she composed herself slightly and frowned, saying, "You still remember that maid? Didn't you only meet her once?"

Mu Zhian shook his head and said, "I'm not too sure either. I just think she's quite pretty, maybe only slightly less so than His Majesty, so I have some impression of her... Where is she now?"

Luo Tan said calmly, "Gan Sui's performance was quite good, so I let her go back and rest for a few days."

Mu Zhian responded with an "Oh," and nodded slightly: "No wonder I haven't seen her lately."

"Why did you suddenly think of her?" Luo Tan asked.

"That day, Sister Gan Sui talked to me about a lot of things and treated me very well, so I was thinking that if possible, I would like to see her before leaving Yuzhou..."

Luo Tan raised an eyebrow and glanced at him indifferently: "You're still thinking about other women in front of me. Should I say you're too fickle, or is the maid of the person you mentioned really so charming that you care about her so much?"

Mu Zhian was taken aback, then suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. With you by my side, I am naturally content and have no other desires."

After a moment's hesitation, he continued in a low voice, "Your Majesty, please don't blame Sister Gan Sui for this matter, otherwise I'm afraid I'll feel guilty in the future."

Luo Tan nodded slightly, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"I see."

"Will I be able to see Sister Gan Sui before I leave?" Mu Zhian asked hesitantly.

"She's quite busy; she probably won't have time to see you," she said softly.

"Oh, I see... That's a real pity." Mu Zhian showed a hint of regret.

The young man's every move was under the watchful eyes of the Medicine Queen. She looked at Mu Zhi'an and the inexplicable charm emanating from him, and immediately raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Compared to this matter, you have already refined the Tai Xu Pill, but you still lack one last step before you can be considered to have perfected it."

Luo Tan licked her luscious lips and stepped directly into the bath, the medicinal bath slowly soaking into her elegant white dress.

Mu Zhian already had a premonition. He raised his head and stared intently at the elegant woman in the bath.

"Actually, we don't necessarily have to go back to the palace to start."

She gently placed one hand on the back of Mu Zhian's hand, and brought her alluring red lips close to his ear.

"This place is quite nice, isn't it?"
