It turns out, they were the main characters.

Mu Zhian nodded silently.

After the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox handed over the Demon Throne to Mu Zhi'an, he should have inherited the unique Demon Throne.

However, the innate furnace absorbed some of the medicinal effects of the Taixu Pill, and could even feed these effects back to other demon cultivators.

If he wished, Mu Zhian could even share the Demon Throne with others now.

"You shouldn't be too long before you reach the Void Returning Realm."

Luo Tan licked her lips, walked to the boy's side in her snow-white boots, tiptoed slightly, and whispered in his ear, "After you reach the Void Return Realm, come find your sister as soon as possible."

"This time it's your older sister who's helping you, but next time, it'll be your turn to repay your older sister."

Mu Zhian raised his hand and bowed, saying, "It is my honor that Your Majesty has chosen me. There is no question of reward or not. I am willing to serve Your Majesty with utmost loyalty."

Luo Tan looked at him quietly with her beautiful eyes, then suddenly chuckled softly: "Then next time, you should try to please your older sister properly."

She lowered her head slightly and gently kissed Mu Zhian's lips with her luscious red lips.

"To do everything possible to please."

The scent of her lips seemed to linger on her lips, but Luo Tan had already donned a magnificent long dress and headed to the Medicine Heart Palace to review memorials and, incidentally, deal with the affairs of her maid, Gan Sui.

……

That's great, Sister Luo's food tastes really good...

As night deepened, Mu Zhian left his palace feeling refreshed and went straight to the hall where he had previously been in seclusion.

It's no wonder she's at the Dao Integration Realm. Moreover, Yuzhou is clearly much more open than places like Dongzhou. This empress appears noble and elegant on the surface, but I didn't expect her to know so much 'interesting' knowledge.

Hmm, next time she comes, let her try it again wearing black stockings and long boots...

Mu Zhian pondered these matters in his heart. After returning to the palace, he meditated and cultivated for a while. Lying on the bed, he heard the door creak open.

That was Yao Meng, who had just taken a bath as well.

"You've really worked hard this time. If it weren't for you, things probably wouldn't have gone so smoothly," Mu Zhian said.

"I only did what I could, but whether you can evolve into a nine-tailed celestial fox depends on yourself."

Yao Meng gracefully walked to the bedside, her emerald green eyes revealing a meaningful smile as she looked at the young man.

"What's wrong?" Mu Zhian felt a little uncomfortable being stared at and sat up.

Yao Meng played with a strand of her hair and said calmly, "It's nothing. It's just that you now have a seductive aura, so you need to be more careful in the future. Even if you don't reveal your innate body as a furnace, there will still be many people eyeing your body."

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhian pondered for a moment and sighed with worry.

I never imagined that being too charming could become such a big problem...

Now he possesses the body of a nine-tailed celestial fox, and his alluring aura is so captivating that even powerful beings at the Dao Integration Realm can't help but take a second look, let alone ordinary female cultivators.

If the aura within the 'Natural Furnace' were to be accidentally revealed... it would likely cause quite a stir.

"I know, I'll be more careful from now on."

When Mu Zhian got to this point, he noticed Yao Meng's meaningful gaze, hesitated for a moment, and tentatively asked, "Do you know everything?"

Yao Meng asked疑惑地问道：“What are you referring to?”

Just as Mu Zhian was about to speak, a soft and melodious voice came from inside the room.

"If you're referring to Luo Tan's interest in your innate potential as a furnace vessel, then I have a rough idea." She gazed at Mu Zhi'an with a faint smile.

As expected… Mu Zhian’s heart skipped a beat.

Yao Meng raised her hand to smooth Mu Zhian's hair and said leisurely, "Actually, I didn't think that the Medicine Queen of Yuzhou would take a liking to you. After all, her status is so noble that she wouldn't bother with a mere cultivator, especially since I am your Daoist partner in name only."

"However, I had a premonition from the moment you evolved into the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, and even when the Medicine King made an excuse to leave earlier."

I always say I have a very strong sense of anti-ganking, but now it seems that Yao Meng's sense of anti-green is just as strong... Mu Zhian hesitated and asked, "You're not blaming me?"

Yao Meng looked at him with a faint smile, her beautiful green eyes as clear as a pool in late autumn, with a hint of mockery: "If I blamed you, you wouldn't be sitting here talking to me right now."

Behind her, a vine seemed to come alive, swaying across her flawless, snow-white legs.

Noticing Mu Zhian's gaze, Yao Meng looked at him calmly and said lightly, "The Medicine Queen is a natural furnace. If she is willing to cultivate with you, it will greatly benefit your future. I naturally have no objection."

The Medicine King assumed she was unaware, so he secretly became intimate with Mu Zhian, secretly enjoying himself.

She knew that the Medicine King thought she didn't know, and that she could even be intimate with Mu Zhi'an during this time, and that Mu Zhi'an would even feel guilty towards her.

So who actually makes more money?

Oh.

Young Master Mu had no idea that the infighting among the mosasaurs in the fishpond was gradually slipping out of the fishpond owner's control.

"You don't need to feel guilty towards me. As long as it's for your own good, anything is worth it," Yao Meng said with a smile.

"You saying that makes me feel even more guilty..." Mu Zhian reached out and held the fairy's slender hand, saying softly, "I'm sorry, I will make it up to you."

Yao Meng hummed in agreement, nodded, and smiled slightly: "I still have to go to the Southern Wilderness after this, so please remember to take good care of yourself."

"The matter of the Three Pillar Gods?" Mu Zhian seemed to understand slightly.

"The matter between me and the Three Pillar Gods of the Southern Wilderness should come to an end." Yao Meng smiled brightly, her smile breathtakingly beautiful, but her eyes revealed a hint of coldness.

The Three Pillar Gods of the Southern Wilderness have been secretly causing trouble more than once. Last time, two of the Three Pillar Gods perished, and she hadn't had time to deal with the remaining one because she was helping Mu Zhian recover his body. But now that she has the time, it's time to settle things completely.

After chatting for a while, Mu Zhian seemed to remember something and suddenly sighed softly.

"Although I should take care of myself, the Lan family's ancestral worship ceremony is about to begin, and I may have to go there after that."

Yao Meng glanced at him indifferently: "Lan Mulian has the protection of the sect leader of the Liangyi Sect, why are you getting involved in this mess?"

Having been in the Liangyi Sect for so long, she naturally knew some of the secrets about the Lan family.

This ancestral worship ceremony is also the best opportunity for the Lan sisters to recognize their ancestors and return to their roots.

But given the sisters' personalities, they probably wouldn't back down if their mother's memorial tablet hadn't been accepted into the Lan family and if the person who started it hadn't apologized.

"If I could, I wouldn't want to go."

Mu Zhian held the fairy's slender waist and said worriedly, "The Lan family has always been powerful and has a huge influence in the Eastern Continent. If I go with my senior sister and the others, I'm afraid I will be bullied as well."

Yao Meng said calmly, "The Lan family is indeed powerful in the Eastern Continent, but they are not powerful enough to ride roughshod over Yaochi."

Mu Zhian said helplessly, "Even so, I am only half a member of Yaochi. If a conflict really breaks out, they probably won't care about my identity at all."

"Last time I heard my senior sister say that the elders of the Lan family are always domineering and very scary."

That wasn't a lie; the Lan family wielded immense power in the Eastern Continent, so their dominance was only natural.

"The Lan family is indeed powerful in the Eastern Continent, and they certainly have the capital to be powerful. If you really want to go to the Lan family, then bring this token of the Guest Elder of the Yaochi Holy Land."

Yao Meng took out a jet-black token from her bosom and handed it to Mu Zhian.

Mu Zhian was slightly taken aback and hesitated, "Can I really accept something so valuable?"

Yao Meng glared at the young man, exuding charm: "You just want a word from me, you don't need to be so roundabout."

She gazed at the boy and whispered, "Everything I have now is given to me by you, so in return—"

"I will give you anything you want."

Before Mu Zhian could speak, Yao Meng placed her fingertips on the boy's chest and gently pressed him against the bed behind him.

Along with that came a captivating and alluring voice that echoed through the room.

"Including myself, I'm one of yours too~"

Chapter 413 Your Majesty, Mu Zhian... he's married!

Demon world.

Deep within the demon realm's imperial palace, a graceful and elegant woman sat before her throne, gazing at the bronze mirror in her hand, lost in thought.

"Do you think that if I go to wake him now, he might mistakenly think that I am eager to see him as soon as I wake up?"

As a seductive voice, seemingly capable of bewitching hearts, echoed through the palace, the first seated person, not far below the stage, stood respectfully to the side.

Upon hearing this, a strange look appeared in her eyes.

It would have been better if Her Majesty hadn't said anything, but now that she's brought it up, it seems a bit like burying one's head in the sand.

Despite his thoughts, the First Seat still respectfully said, "The appearance of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox is related to Mu Zhi'an. His Majesty only summoned him because he was concerned about the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox. It's not that he was impatient, but that he had important matters to ask him."

The Demon Queen nodded in satisfaction and glanced at the maid who had widened her path.

"That's true. Since I was awakened by the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's movements, it's only natural that I would care about the matter and summon him to meet me."

"Your Majesty is wise," the first seated man said respectfully, bowing slightly.

But he sighed inwardly.

Right now, no one in the demon realm dares to tell His Majesty that Mu Zhi'an is already married... But secrets can't stay hidden forever. If His Majesty sees Mu Zhi'an and learns of this...

The first seated person mustered up their courage, raised their eyelids, and secretly peeked at the enchanting and beautiful face of the Demon Queen. A complex look flashed in their eyes.

What would happen if we told the truth now?

The Demon Queen naturally noticed the First Seat's gaze, but at the moment she was too lazy to care what the First Seat was thinking, her mind was clearly focused on Mu Zhi'an.

"Since it's about the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, then I'll summon him tomorrow... no, I'll summon him now."

"After all, this matter is of great importance, and we must understand the details, which is also for the sake of the demon realm."

The Demon Queen gently touched the bronze mirror with her slender, jade-like fingers.

The next moment, a wisp of bewitching pink spiritual energy quietly entered the bronze mirror.

The first seated man bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I shall take my leave now."

Having said that, he quietly left the demon palace, then silently rubbed his forehead.

She needs to think about how to explain this to His Majesty...

……

In Yuzhou, at Daochu Palace.

In the warm, ambiguous bedroom, Mu Zhi'an lay on his side behind Yao Meng, his arms around the fairy's voluptuous and slender waist, his chest pressed against her beautiful back, feeling the fairy's graceful figure, and sighed helplessly, "Sister Qingdi, can I return to normal?"

He had finally managed to regain his original appearance using the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox body, but the Azure Emperor, under the pretext of testing the demonic arts of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox body, turned him back into his old form.
