It turns out, they were the main characters.

It must be said that although the fish in Mu Zhian's fishpond have different temperaments and personalities, and different figures, they all have slender waists and long legs. However, what makes Mu Zhian most attracted to Yao Meng is her jade feet.

"You're fine as you are now. I like the original you." Mu Zhian smiled.

A faint smile appeared in Yao Mengmei's eyes, and her rosy lips approached his ear: "Then... if you guess right, how about I give you a chance to order me around as you please? You can do anything during this time."

"For example, with your Heavenly Lock and the indescribable sphere in my little dark room..."

Mu Zhian remained silent, but his breathing seemed to quicken.

It has to be said that this woman truly understands his sensibilities... It's not that Mu Zhi'an likes it this way, but the fact that such a high and mighty empress is willing to submit to him gives him a great sense of satisfaction, both physically and mentally.

"Whether I use it or not is not important, but I am indeed somewhat interested in the Heavenly Tribulation of the Feather Transformation Realm."

Mu Zhian coughed lightly: "If I remember correctly, the Dao Integration Realm also seems to have physical tribulations and spiritual tribulations... So it might be the inner demon tribulation?"

A hint of admiration flashed in Yao Meng's eyes as she smiled, pursing her lips: "Then guess again, what was my inner demon back then?"

That's hard to guess... Mu Zhian remained silent, deep in thought.

"Here's a hint: the Tribulation of Inner Demons has three stages. It turns the things that people fear most in their hearts into reality. If you can't get through the Tribulation of Inner Demons, you will never be able to reach the other side of reality in this lifetime. You will be trapped in the Tribulation of Inner Demons forever and will not be able to get out. Even those in the Dao Integration Realm are no exception."

Mu Zhian's eyes flickered slightly, and he said softly, "I've heard that when the first Demon Emperor led his army to attack the Eastern Continent, you suppressed the first Demon Emperor and left a contingency plan to protect the Yaochi Holy Land... Is your inner demon related to the Yaochi Holy Land? And also... immortality?"

“Almost all cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm have the same problem: their peers from the same era have all turned to dust. Therefore, no matter how powerful they are, they all hope to live on forever, which is why they spend a lot of time cultivating Emperor-level medicines,” Yao Meng said.

"You too?" Mu Zhian asked.

“I didn’t care much about life and death before, otherwise I wouldn’t have stopped the Nine-Lives Phoenix.”

Yao Meng said softly, "In the end, the path I follow will conform to the principles of nature, and life and death are also a part of nature."

Just as Mu Zhian was about to say something, Yao Meng tilted her head slightly and gently pressed her cool lips to his.

"But things have been different since I met you."

Yao Meng gazed at him and said quietly, "I want to live forever, and I also want you to live forever."

"I still vividly remember the day you met your untimely death at Yaochi."

Yao Meng whispered, "I'm afraid you'll die in front of me again, sob..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Zhian lowered his head and kissed her soft cherry lips again, turning Yao Meng's words into soft sobs.

After a while, Yao Meng's voice gradually softened, and her delicate body went limp in Mu Zhi'an's arms.

This feeling is wonderful... Yao Meng closed her eyes slightly, her curled eyelashes trembled, and her face was full of intoxication.

While in the Southern Wilderness, she could do nothing but search for the whereabouts of the Ocean God.

The thought that Mu Zhian might be secretly harmed by other women in Dongzhou made her increasingly unbearable.

Although she always said to Mu Zhian, "As long as I don't feel like I'm being cheated on, then I'm the one cheating on others," she ultimately didn't like seeing Mu Zhian being intimate with other glamorous and shameless women.

I can be the one cheating on others, but others can't be the ones cheating on me...

After a while, Mu Zhian released her with satisfaction and said, "So your inner demons are Yaochi, immortality, and my affairs?"

Yao Meng's usually serene face seemed slightly flushed. She raised her beautiful eyes and gave him a reproachful look: "This is the Blue Clan, after all. Don't you know how to behave yourself?"

"If someone sees us..."

Mu Zhian chuckled: "To outsiders, we're already married, so it's not strange for us to be affectionate, is it?"

He paused for a moment, then continued, "So what you just said has to do with your deliberate provocation of Ruoxi?"

Yao Meng's face regained its calm smile: "The inner demon tribulation will turn the most memorable and unforgettable things in a cultivator's heart into inner demons. Why don't you guess what Gong Lianyue will encounter in her inner demons now?"

Mu Zhian was stunned for a moment: "You...?"

Yao Meng NTR'd Gong Lianyue in front of her, and even got intimate with Mu Zhian... and made sarcastic remarks.

Unless it's a girl like Qian'er who enjoys being cheated on, which other woman wouldn't be so angry that she'd want to tear her apart?

It was fortunate that Yao Meng was at the Feather Transformation Realm and Gong Lian Yue was at the Dao Integration Realm; if it were an ordinary woman, they probably would have pulled each other's hair and started a fight.

"When people are angry, they have different fighting power than usual, and the same is true for those in the Dao Integration Realm... Only by facing death without fear can one overcome the tribulation of inner demons."

"She's probably thinking right now that after she survives her ascension tribulation, she'll take her sword and chop me down, then bring the princess back to her palace," Yao Meng said with a smile.

"Even if you were to say it, it should be His Highness the Prince!" Mu Zhian corrected seriously.

He then continued, "So Ruoxi will encounter you while she's trapped in her inner demons?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, that will be the case," Yao Mengqian said with a smile.

If she weren't worried about going too far, she actually planned to send two more memory stones to the Sword Palace in a couple of days.

The scene depicts Gong Lianyue watching an intimate image of herself and Mu Zhian within a memory stone during her preparations for the tribulation, yet feeling powerless to do anything about it...

Even Mu Zhian was speechless for a moment.

He knew Yao Meng liked cuckolds, but he didn't expect her to be able to make cuckolds so interesting... After Gong Lianyue completes her tribulation, she will definitely realize that Yao Meng was deliberately trying to annoy her today.

Therefore, after Gong Lianyue reached the Feather Transformation Realm, she couldn't easily lash out at Yao Meng.

Maybe I'll have to thank her later.

Yao Meng played with a strand of hair, her tall figure appearing and disappearing in the mist, seemingly a blend of purity and desire, possessing a unique charm.

She blinked her beautiful eyes and said with a half-smile, "I've helped your Daoist partner so much. As her Daoist partner, shouldn't you try to make it up to her?"

Mu Zhian was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, "You made Gong Lianyue so angry that she wanted to tear you apart, and now you actually want me to compensate you..."

But then he thought again, if Gong Lianyue's inner demon was Yao Meng, then Yao Meng had truly done a great service this time.

The idea that turning evil makes you three times stronger is no joke... It's not impossible that Gong Lian Yue could comprehend a new sword intent even during her inner demon tribulation.

At this moment, a faint spiritual energy surged up once again in the ancestral land, and Mu Zhian's gaze was immediately drawn to it.

"What is that?" Mu Zhian asked.

"It should be the legacy left by the ancestors of the Blue Clan in the ancestral land. This matter has nothing to do with you, so you don't need to worry about it."

Yao Meng answered casually, then turned around and gave the boy a charming glance.

"Compared to this, I traveled all the way from the Southern Wilderness back to find you, don't you have anything else to say?"

Steam rose from the hot spring pool, and Mu Zhian admired Yao Meng's beautiful face through the hazy mist.

He reached out and gently put his arm around Yao Meng's firm waist, and asked, "Speaking of which, I just heard them mention the Sabbath... I think I've heard of it before, what exactly is it?"

Yao Meng gently shook her head: "The Sabbath cannot be explained in just a few words. You might understand it better if you look directly at ancient books."

"In the past, many cultivators in the Nine Provinces perished on the Sabbath. This is because the heavens would choose a divine messenger as the spokesperson for the Sabbath each time."

"Actually, this matter has little to do with you. The Liangyi Sect is not subject to the divine punishment of the Sabbath. Besides, if you come back to Yaochi with me, there won't be any problems either, after all..."

Her voice suddenly faltered, her pretty face flushed, and she let out a soft, seductive nasal sound: "Hmm~ Do you want to hear serious business or do something else? If you mess around again, I'll lock you in the dark room."

After a while, Yao Meng glared at the boy, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.

Mu Zhian coughed lightly and withdrew his hand at the opportune moment: "Didn't I just win the bet with you? Can't I even collect some interest now? Does the mighty Emperor intend to renege on his promise?"

Yao Meng glanced at him disdainfully, then gracefully stood up and left the hot spring, saying, "Now that I've fulfilled the bet, don't say I renege on it later."

Mu Zhian was taken aback, thinking to himself, "Isn't this just cheating? I haven't even made a request yet..."

The water droplets on Yao Mengqing's light blue dress turned into steam. She retied the thin ribbon around her slender waist, straightened her messy skirt, and her slightly languid hair.

The next moment, she seemed to transform back into a peerless fairy in an instant.

Her beauty was breathtaking; it was as if a divine moon was slowly rotating behind her, and every inch of her skin was sparkling.

"I still need to return to the Jade Pool Holy Land. If you want me to fulfill the bet we just made, then come to the Jade Pool then," she said softly with a smile.

Mu Zhian asked, "Are you leaving so soon after arriving?"

"The Sabbath is approaching, and I need to confirm that the Yaochi Formation is safe."

Yao Meng spoke gently as she told the truth.

Then, she stepped into the void and walked to Mu Zhian's side, raised her hand to stroke his face, and breathed on him with a fragrant breath: "But after that, I had a lot of free time."

"By then, it won't be a problem to fulfill any of your requests, okay?"

Yao Meng picked up her hairpin, gathered her loose hair, turned around and transformed into specks of blue light, leaving the Blue Clan.

The feeling of having one's XP controlled is really not good. Who wrote "The Way to Tame a Husband" anyway? They might as well change it to "The Way to Tame a Shepherd"... Mu Zhian felt his heart racing and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Immediately, he couldn't help but recall what the Blue Clan's Grand Elder had just said.

He couldn't help but murmur to himself, "What exactly is the Sabbath?"

"Aaaa~"

At this moment, Mu Zhian seemed to faintly hear mournful songs coming from the ancestral land.

The singing sounded quite mournful, like a pet that had been abandoned, filled with sorrow.

Mu Zhian suddenly awoke from his daze, sitting up abruptly from his deathbed.

"Oh no, I forgot Ling'er in the ancestral land!"

……

"Sorry, I just came back and was preparing some snacks, and I accidentally forgot about you."

After finally bringing Linglong back, Mu Zhian is now placing plate after plate of snacks in the courtyard to cheer her up.

Besides the meat buns that Miss Linglong loves, there are also dried beef jerky, crystal pork knuckle, osmanthus cake and other kinds of snacks, as well as tea.

Mu Zhian certainly wasn't foolish enough to directly pick up Miss Linglong; he couldn't very well tell her, "I was taking a medicinal bath just now, and I was also having some intimate time with Yao Meng..."

Even if this girl is incredibly naive and kind, it's not hard to guarantee that hearing these words won't turn Mu Zhian into [—beep].

After all, for Lin Ling, who possesses the power of words, it's just a matter of saying a few words.

So before Mu Zhian went to the ancestral land to pick up Lin Ling, he went to the back kitchen of the Blue Clan and brought some snacks to comfort her.

Judging from the current situation, the effect is clearly excellent...

Mu Zhian gently stroked her silver hair and smiled, "These are some snacks I specially prepared for you. Do you like them?"

Lin Ling gently pecked her head.

"I'm sorry, you probably don't like attracting attention, I'm sorry to have troubled you today," Mu Zhian said softly.

Linglong has always stayed either in his own cave or on Liangyi Peak, and rarely sees people.
