Chapter 424 "The Azure Emperor in the Southern Wilderness" 5K

What is Mu Zhian thinking right now...?

Even without mind-reading abilities, the Demon Queen could guess the general idea.

Even though the Demon Queen was an enemy of the Eastern Continent and regarded Shang Yanfei as a mortal foe, she had to admit that the sect leader of the Liangyi Sect did indeed possess the charm to attract any member of the opposite sex.

Before the Demon Queen had even reached the Dao Integration Realm, Shang Yanfei was already at that level. She had heard the First Demon Emperor mention Shang Yanfei more than once. When the First Demon Emperor started the war against the Eastern Continent, the first thing he kept a close eye on was the movements of the Liangyi Sect.

To be precise, it was Shang Yanfei's actions.

In the past, there were only two Dao Integration Realm experts in the Eastern Continent. The Forbidden Zone was a paradise on earth, not involved in any of the struggles of the Nine Provinces, while the Liangyi Sect was the symbol of the Eastern Continent.

The sect leader who single-handedly established the Liangyi Sect and even nurtured the Spirit Dragon, a Dao Integration Realm cultivator, was naturally regarded as the most troublesome enemy by the first Demon Emperor.

He couldn't understand why this stunningly beautiful woman had remained in the Eastern Continent and had never ascended to the Heavenly Court.

The ultimate goal of cultivators is to become immortals and ascend to heaven, but Shang Yanfei seems to have no interest in becoming an immortal. Even when the path to immortality appeared in the past, she never left Dongzhou.

She was always shrouded in mystery, and even the first Demon Emperor did not know when she had attained enlightenment.

Such a woman, shrouded in mystery, naturally attracted the attention of countless cultivators... especially junior cultivators.

For a child like Mu Zhian, the mysterious aura surrounding Shang Yanfei is an indescribable allure, enough to draw him in irresistibly and even make him want to delve deeper into her world and find out more.

Moreover, Consort Shang Yanfei had previously taken the initiative to kiss her.

In short, even a proud person like the Demon Queen was somewhat wary of Shang Yanfei.

But apprehension is not the same as fear, and it certainly won't allow the Demon Queen to remain silent at this moment, watching with a smile as the person she has her eye on is NTR'd in front of her.

"Although I have never used mind reading, I think I can guess what he is thinking."

Shang Yanfei reached out and gently stroked Mu Zhian's face, gazing at the young man before her and at his barely concealed expression.

She curled her lips into a smile, and whispered, "Is it more comfortable kissing me, or kissing the Demon Queen?"

Before Mu Zhian could answer, she smiled faintly and said, "I guess he's thinking right now... that kissing me would be more enjoyable."

"What do you think?" She turned her head slightly, her pale golden eyes reflecting the cold gaze of the Demon Queen.

boom!

Inside the main hall, a deafening roar shook the entire ground violently.

From the void behind the Demon Queen, the Mortal Serpent silently emerged.

No, it's less like a python and more like a dragon, its entire body a bewitching purple-pink, with a pair of golden beast eyes as majestic and captivating as golden pupils.

The Demon Queen remained indifferent, and the spiritual energy flowing in the air ignited in an instant, creating a raging inferno.

She did not use any forbidden techniques; she simply raised her slender, jade-like finger and flicked it. In that instant, an eerie pink light enveloped Shang Yanfei, captivating her soul and making her momentarily dazed upon first sight.

This is a technique that the Demon Queen cultivated before she attained enlightenment. It is called the Profound Yin Enchanting Fire. The enchanting fire has no temperature at all, but is instead icy cold. So much so that the temperature in the entire hall drops instantly the moment it appears, as if it will freeze people's skin and crack.

Mu Zhi'an stared at the enchanting fire in utter shock, thinking to himself, "Your Majesty, what if one of these area-of-effect attacks sends me to my death during this battle of gods..."

The next moment, that wisp of Xuan Yin Enchantress Fire crashed down towards Shang Yanfei!

At the same time, the Serpent of the Mortal Realm bound Mu Zhi'an as it swam around and brought him back to the side of the Demon Queen.

boom!

An aura as if the heavens and earth had been created permeated the entire hall, and the Xuan Yin Enchantress Fire almost enveloped Consort Shang Yan, bursting forth with terrifying brilliance.

Despite having great confidence in the sect leader's strength, Mu Zhian couldn't help but feel a little worried for her.

"Don't worry, she won't die. Besides, this body is just a wisp of her spirit that has been separated from her. Her true body cannot leave the Liangyi Sect."

As if knowing what Mu Zhian was thinking, Shi Zixuan’s arrogant and sexy voice came from beside her.

At the same time, the Serpent of the Mortal World carefully placed Mu Zhi'an on the ground, and Shi Zixuan stepped forward to block Mu Zhi'an.

The Demon Queen never actually fought Shang Yanfei. However, when the first Demon Queen was alive, the name Shang Yanfei was always mentioned whenever Dongzhou was discussed.

Cultivation in the demon realm is extremely cruel, and the strong are respected. Therefore, from her childhood, the demon queen had already remembered the name Shang Yanfei.

Now that she has evolved from her childhood to her ultimate form, the first person she wants to fight is Shang Yanfei.

She believed that even if it was just a wisp of spiritual consciousness, Shang Yanfei could not be defeated so easily.

As it turns out, the Demon Queen's judgment was correct.

When the Xuan Yin Enchantment Fire dissipated, the temperature remained frigid. Inside the palace, a woman stood atop the throne, like a banished immortal from ancient times, possessing unparalleled beauty and charm, unmatched by anyone in the mortal world.

She wore a black robe, her face was classically beautiful, her full breasts stretched the robe high and low, and her long legs, which were outlined in a golden ratio, were extremely beautiful, but not seductive, enough to make people subconsciously fall in love with her peerless beauty.

However, her gorgeous dress had many tears, revealing some of her fair skin.

Was she injured...? Mu Zhian's mind stirred slightly.

At that moment, the whole world fell silent!

Everything around turned gray. Mu Zhian was gray, everything in the main hall was gray, and even the alluring and seductive appearance of the Demon Queen had turned gray.

Only Shang Yanfei's is in color.

When Mu Zhian suddenly woke up, he found that Shang Yanfei's dress had already been repaired and showed no signs of damage.

"Time reversal." The Demon Queen narrowed her beautiful eyes and said softly.

Mu Zhian had a sudden thought.

If we go back in time, wouldn't that mean the sect leader is also at the Feather Transformation Realm?

He knew that one of the hallmarks of the Feathered Realm was time reversal.

Upon reaching the Feather Transformation Realm, one can alter the rules of heaven and earth, and even rewrite time, flowing upstream along the river of time, becoming immortal and indestructible.

The Demon Queen raised her head arrogantly, exuding a disdainful air, and chuckled, "No, you did not ascend to immortality, but merely comprehended the Dao of Time."

Shang Yanfei smiled noncommittally.

Having confirmed her guess, the Demon Queen's beautiful eyes held a hint of disdain as she arrogantly said, "If I remember correctly, you were already at the Dao Integration Realm before I resonated with the Dao. Now that I have integrated with the Dao, you are still stuck in the same place. What will happen if I surpass you in the future?"

Shang Yanfei smiled faintly and said, "If you can ascend to immortality, that is your destiny."

This nonchalant attitude irked a hint of displeasure in the eyes of the Demon Queen. One of the reasons she disliked this woman was that the other woman always had this calm and collected demeanor.

"Your wisp of spiritual consciousness cannot stop me. While I'm in a good mood, get out of this cave. This is where I and he made love," the Demon Queen said coldly.

However, Shang Yanfei chuckled as if she had heard something amusing: "The place where you and he made your love?"

"Then what is the Azure Emperor?"

"You're keeping him in this grotto, even plotting something...aren't you practically having an affair with him?"

A hint of anger flashed deep in the eyes of the Demon Queen, clearly indicating that she had been touched on a sore spot.

The Demon Queen, such an arrogant being, has never failed to obtain anything she has set her sights on, from the past to the present.

However, she had been in seclusion for less than half a year when she woke up and found that Mu Zhian was already married, and was even wearing the engagement ring that the Azure Emperor had given him!

It's only been less than six months!

If he were to go into seclusion for another year or two, Mu Zhian's child might already be crawling on the ground!

"He likes me, and I also like him. As for the Azure Emperor..."

The Demon Queen snorted coldly: "She just took advantage of my seclusion and used some tricks to deceive him."

Consort Shang said calmly, "The marriage that day was a mutual consent between my disciple and the Azure Emperor. Since you know how to read minds, don't you know his true feelings?"

"If I had to say, you'd be the third party caught in the middle."

Upon hearing this, the Demon Queen immediately retorted, "Since you knew he was already married, why was the sect leader of the Liangyi Sect so affectionate with him before?"

"Don't say that his marriage with the Azure Emperor was just a sham. Even if it was real, so what? There's no one I can't have if I want them," the Demon Queen sneered.

This statement clearly states: So what if he's a married man? I still want to NTR him.

The ruler of the demon realm and the sect leader of the Liangyi Sect gaze at each other from afar. The former exudes a captivating charm, while the latter remains calm and composed, radiating an aura of mystery.

Both of them were incredibly pleasing to the eye, especially when Mu Zhi'an stood beside the Demon Queen, he could even smell the sweet scent emanating from the woman.

However, Mu Zhian showed no interest in appreciating it at all.

This is bad. If they keep arguing, the Demon Queen will definitely take her anger out on me...

Calm down. I am the dignified ruler of the Heavenly Court. Do you think I can't even suppress two mere women...?

There must be a way... The thought flashed through Mu Zhian's mind like lightning.

However, at that moment, he suddenly noticed the slightly amused smile on the Demon Queen's face, and silently gave up thinking about it.

With mind-reading abilities at his disposal, he has absolutely no room to maneuver.

"Never mind, it's good that you're alright."

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, a soft laugh rang out, and Consort Shang walked gracefully down the steps from in front of the throne.

Under Mu Zhian's hesitant gaze, she parted her lips slightly and said softly, "Linglong asked me to come and check because he was worried about your safety."

"But since the Queen of the Demon Realm is protecting you, there shouldn't be any problems."

Mu Zhian subconsciously looked back into Shang Yanfei's eyes, and for a moment, he felt a little confused.

What exactly does the sect leader's sister mean to him?

If it's about liking someone, then there doesn't seem to be any problem; she even kissed him first before.

But if he really likes her, why is he now willing to let the Demon Queen protect him?

Regardless, seeing that Shang Yanfei did not continue to argue with the Demon Queen, Mu Zhian breathed a sigh of relief and then raised his hand in a bow, saying, "This disciple respectfully sees off the Sect Master."

"Truly worthy of being the most unpredictable shark in my fishpond..." he thought with a touch of admiration.

"Hmph... She's really generous."

Watching the departing woman, the Demon Queen couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"The sect leader is only concerned about the sect's disciples and came because he was worried about me," Mu Zhian said, shaking his head helplessly.

This was an indirect way of telling the Demon Queen: You're overcomplicating things between me and the Sect Leader. I'm just a disciple of the Liangyi Sect, and I don't have any close relationship with the Sect Leader.

"Since when can the sect leader of the Liangyi Sect kissing a disciple be considered a normal relationship?" The Demon Queen glanced at Mu Zhian with a half-smile, her tone filled with dissatisfaction.

Mu Zhian shrugged and gave up: "Wasn't it you who mocked her first, which must have angered her?"
