It turns out, they were the main characters.

The Demon Queen explained.

She leaned her legs against Mu Zhian's side, sitting in a languid posture, and even her voice exuded a lazy and charming quality.

Mu Zhian understood slightly.

Even without the title of ruler of the demon realm, the demon queen's bloodline was already noble.

No wonder the journey has been so smooth.

"Alright, let's speed up, we should be almost there."

Mu Zhian gently stroked the dragon sparrow's head and fed it two more Rank 5 pills.

The dragon sparrow's back was very cramped. Under normal circumstances, a dragon sparrow can only carry a maximum of two people. However, Mu Zhian already had three people on the way to the demon realm, and now there were four people sitting on the dragon sparrow's back.

This mount from the sacred Jade Pool was bearing a weight it shouldn't have had to, yet it dared not utter a word of complaint.

Oh no, because it had fifth-grade pills as food, the dragon sparrow looked quite happy at the moment.

Logically speaking, the Demon Queen, Bai Ruoxi, and Wei Mengrou should all be able to fly, and their speed should be much faster than the dragon sparrow carrying the four of them. Otherwise, if Mu Zhian had used the Measuring Ruler to follow behind them, the dragon sparrow wouldn't be so crowded at this moment.

However, Mu Zhian found it hard to resist the soft bodies of the beauties beside him, and even their pert buttocks that were almost pressing against his legs, whether it was the feel of their touch or the sensation of their skin against his.

Being squeezed with a beautiful woman isn't really being crowded; it's a form of enjoyment...

Even in such a crowded situation, the Demon Queen and the others did not ask to leave the dragon sparrow's back, but chose to fly behind and follow.

Even Bai Ruoxi, who disliked the Demon Queen, tacitly allowed the other party to stand next to Mu Lang.

After all, once they start talking, a fight is bound to break out, and if they do, Mu Zhian might be the one who ends up leaving the dragon sparrow's back and flying on his sword.

The Demon Queen understood this principle as well, so she never mentioned the topic of "it was too crowded on the dragon sparrow's back" along the way.

The two tacitly skipped over the topic.

From the demon realm to the fox clan's land, it would take about three days to travel by dragon-bird. After two days of travel, the once lush forests gradually turned into a desolate plateau. The plateau was high in altitude, cold in climate, and the air was extremely thin.

At this moment, the dragon sparrow turned its head and let out a screech, its beastly eyes filled with tears as it turned to look at them.

Although Mu Zhian fed the dragon sparrow many pills along the way, which improved its cultivation level considerably, its physical strength was ultimately limited.

"Since Long Que is tired, he will stay in my cave for the night. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to reach the Fox Clan's territory by tomorrow afternoon."

The Demon Queen took out a blooming hydrangea from her palm and made a suggestion.

Bai Ruoxi glanced at the hydrangea in the Demon Queen's hand, and a strange look appeared in her eyes. She subconsciously covered the hydrangea ornament hanging on her chest.

Seeing the hydrangeas reminded her of many unpleasant things.

For example, back then, in order to help her shield herself from demonic energy, Mu Zhi'an pleaded with the Demon Queen to obtain that magical artifact that could shield her from demonic energy.

During the plea for mercy, it was still unknown what sacrifices Mu Lang had made for this magical artifact.

The Demon Queen gently tossed out the Purple Sun Flower, and the next moment, the Palm Cave Heaven shimmered with an eerie purple light in mid-air, absorbing all four of them into it.

Inside the grotto is a magnificent valley, and below the valley, a grand hall can be seen with the naked eye.

The Demon Queen glanced at the three of them and smiled, "You've been traveling for more than two days. Although you've been carried by the Dragon Sparrow along the way, your mental strength has its limits. Get some rest tonight."

Mu Zhian hummed in agreement, and the three of them followed the Demon Queen into the main hall.

After finding a place to stay, Mu Zhian was about to enter the cave to meditate when Bai Ruoxi suddenly called out from behind him in a sweet voice, "Mu Lang, wait a moment, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment, glanced around to make sure no one was there, and nodded slightly: "In that case, let's go back inside and talk slowly."

After saying that, he took the beauty's slightly cool hand and walked into the room inside the palace.

Unbeknownst to them, the two had already entered the small room inside the palace.

Unlike the cold and alluring demon queen that Mu Zhian remembered, the cottage was decorated in a very girly way, with light pink tones everywhere, and even strawberry patterns on the table.

Two candles were lit by the bedside, and another candle burned quietly on the table.

Who would have thought that the Demon Queen has such a childlike heart? You can't tell at all that she is a ruthless empress who rules the Demon Realm and even devoured the blood essence of a former overlord... Mu Zhian turned his head and asked, "Ruoxi, what do you want to say?"

Bai Ruoxi's eyes held a complex expression as she softly said, "I know Mu Lang came here for the Soul-Locking Bell, but since I've already gone to the Fox Clan's territory, if possible, I'd like to visit the place where my mother used to live. This might take up some of my time..."

There was a hint of worry in her eyes, fearing that this would delay Mu Zhian's important business. But this was probably the only chance to come to the demon realm, and there might not be another opportunity.

The land of the fox clan has declined to this day, and when the next cycle of time comes, everything will be completely different.

By then, even the house that Bai Yuanfeng once told her daughter about where she used to live will probably have been completely erased by time.

"I brought you here to fulfill one of your wishes. There's no need for so many concerns between us," Mu Zhian said with a gentle smile.

As they were talking, Mu Zhian had already closed the door. When he turned his head, he saw Bai Ruoxi sitting down at the table by the window and taking out paper and pen from her storage ring.

"I remember Mother told me some things about the Fox Clan's land before, and she even showed me a map. Since I'll rest tonight, I'll take this opportunity to roughly draw a map of the Fox Clan's land. Perhaps this will save Mu Lang some trouble when we arrive tomorrow—"

As soon as Bai Ruoxi finished speaking and turned around, she saw Mu Zhian walk up behind her, put his arm around her waist, and then gently press her down on the desk.

"Mu... Lang...?" Bai Ruoxi called out blankly.

"This is more convenient." Mu Zhian explained, looking at the voluptuous beauty in her palace dress who was lying on the desk with her back to him.

Bai Ruoxi's eyes flashed with confusion: "But this makes it inconvenient for me to draw..."

"But this way it's convenient to multitask. No problem, you draw your picture and I do mine, and we won't interfere with each other."

Mu Zhian took Bai Ruoxi's hand, signaling her to continue painting, and then reached out to lift her white palace dress.

Bai Ruoxi's beautiful eyes widened suddenly, as if she had realized what was happening, and she glared at him shyly.

She immediately blushed and looked away from him, silently lowering her head to draw a map.

Chapter 419 Mrs. Mu, you don't want to be discovered by the Azure Emperor, do you? 6K

The next day, early morning.

After a whole night of rest and recuperation, Mu Zhian felt refreshed and relaxed as he stretched and got out of bed.

The bed rocked until late last night. Fortunately, the soundproofing in this place was quite good, and Bai Ruoxi was also trying to keep her voice down, otherwise it would have caused a lot of trouble.

"Even though we've been married for a long time, Ruoxi is still easily embarrassed."

Mu Zhian sighed inwardly, picked up the map that Bai Ruoxi had drawn the night before, and left the room.

Wei Mengrou was already waiting outside the cave. Beside her was the Demon Queen, who was dressed in plain clothes and a plain skirt, but was still charming and alluring.

Bai Ruoxi also left the cave early in the morning and waited outside.

The beauty in the palace dress, whose face was usually delicate and aloof, now had a healthy rosy glow. Her black and white palace dress further accentuated her beautiful skin and delicate features.

Wei Mengrou looked at Bai Ruoxi suspiciously for a few more moments, staring at her jade-like neck.

"Sister Mengrou, what's wrong?" Bai Ruoxi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at and stole a glance at Wei Mengrou.

Although everyone knew about her relationship with Mu Zhian, it was still a surprise that she went out, especially to her parents' home, and then secretly got intimate with Mu Zhian during a rest stop on the way... If Wei Mengrou found out, people would inevitably think that Miss Bai was a sexually unsatisfied woman.

But she hadn't thought about those things at all last night; it's all Mu Lang's fault...

“There seems to be a strange red mark on the right side of your neck…” Wei Mengrou stared suspiciously at Bai Ruoxi’s swan-like neck, where there seemed to be a red mark near her collarbone on the right side.

The Demon Queen narrowed her eyes and gently touched the red mark on Bai Ruoxi's jade-like neck with her slender fingers: "Indeed, if I remember correctly, I didn't notice this mark when we set off a few days ago. Could it have been left yesterday?"

A hint of panic flashed in Bai Ruoxi's beautiful eyes. She covered the red mark and said softly, "Perhaps it was because there were too many mosquitoes in the mountains yesterday, so I was bitten by some insect by accident."

Seeing that the two were still suspicious, Bai Ruoxi suddenly said, "Mu Lang is out."

“Logically speaking, he is at the Refining Spirit Realm, so he shouldn’t have slept for so long…” Wei Mengrou suddenly said softly.

The Demon Queen nodded silently, a hint of doubt flashing in her alluring eyes as she looked at Mu Zhian, who was riding a dragon-bird towards the open space. She then glanced casually at Bai Ruoxi beside her, a playful smile quickly appearing in her eyes.

At this moment, Mu Zhian arrived in front of the three of them on his dragon-bird and said with a smile, "Sorry, I had some insights from my meditation last night, so I got up late this morning."

As he spoke, he glanced at Bai Ruoxi almost imperceptibly.

Hmm, Ruoxi looks to be in good health, and the spiritual energy in the cauldron is more solid... My hard work last night was worth it.

He noticed a strange gaze beside him, and looking in that direction, he saw the Demon Queen smiling and saying, "You seem to have recovered quite well."

"Thanks to the rest I had last night, I've fully recovered," Mu Zhian said with a smile.

That's good.

The Demon Queen nodded slightly, then changed the subject: "However, your spiritual energy seems a little weaker than yesterday?"

This woman is far too perceptive… Mu Zhian’s eyelids twitched slightly.

The Demon Queen scrutinized him with great interest, her red lips slightly parted as she transmitted her voice, "Your heart just told me: this woman is far too perceptive."

"Have I perhaps discovered some of your secrets?"

Oh my god, I almost forgot she can read minds...

Emptiness is form, form is emptiness... Mu Zhian silently repeated this several times in his mind, barely suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his heart, and then took out a map.

"We should be able to reach the Fox Clan's territory today. Then we can use this map to search for the location of the Soul-Locking Bell."

Everyone's attention was indeed drawn to it. Wei Mengrou glanced at the young master and asked, "What is this?"

"The map of the Fox Clan's territory was drawn by Ruoxi last night," Mu Zhian explained.

The Demon Queen glanced at Bai Ruoxi, her soft, charming voice carrying a hint of amusement: "You seem to have never been to the Demon Realm before, yet you know the location of the Fox Clan's territory?"

Bai Ruoxi said calmly, "My mother went to Tianxuan City under the orders of the Seventh Seat, so I naturally know the location of the Fox Clan's territory."

"The subordinates of the Seventh Seat... if I remember correctly, they caused you quite a bit of trouble back then," the Demon Queen said with a seductive smile.

She paused, glanced at the map in Mu Zhian's hand, and continued, "But it seems that the Palace Master is not very good at drawing."

Although the map is drawn in sufficient detail, the drawing skills are even worse than those of some seven- or eight-year-old children, especially in some parts of the map where the outlines appear weak and even messy.

Bai Ruoxi did not argue, but secretly glanced at Mu Zhian before silently burying her face and remaining silent.

Wei Mengrou couldn't help but glance suspiciously at the beautiful woman with a flushed face.

The Bai family of Tianxuan City is, after all, a powerful force. Although not the largest, they are still much wealthier than over 90% of cultivators. The beautiful Bai is also proficient in all the arts, so she shouldn't have drawn such a terrible map...

Sensing Nai Xi's resentful gaze, Mu Zhi'an coughed and immediately said, "Ahem... Anyway, as long as the map works, let's set off according to the markings on this map."

Although almost everyone knows about his relationship with Bai Ruoxi, he was still intimate with her while she was drawing last night. If Sister Mengrou finds out, she will inevitably feel unbalanced or even jealous.

Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that the Demon Queen was looking at him with a half-smile, her eyes full of mockery.

Mind reading is truly the most troublesome spell in the world, bar none... Mu Zhian pretended not to see it and patted Long Que's head: "Let's continue on our way."
