It turns out, they were the main characters.

She gracefully withdrew her hand, toying with a strand of hair, and smiled alluringly: "I protected your Blue Clan back then, and instead of being grateful, you've turned against me?"

"Is this how you repay your benefactor?"

Lan Shihuai, holding an oil-paper umbrella, raised his proud, snow-white chin and looked at her through the rain: "If I hadn't tacitly approved of you staying in the ancestral land, you probably wouldn't even be able to keep this wisp of your spirit now, let alone wait for the innate furnace to come and save you."

She abandoned her usual indifferent demeanor and became incredibly assertive, speaking again: "I don't know what agreement Mu Zhi'an made with you, but if a dignified Nine-Tailed Queen continues to live in the body of a junior, she will probably become a laughing stock in the demon realm in the future."

The Lan family ancestor is similar to her senior sister in this respect. She usually seems to be unassuming and not competitive, but she is actually quite domineering. In modern terms, she would be the type of domineering female CEO...

Just as Mu Zhian was thinking this, he noticed Lan Shihuai glancing at him unintentionally.

Her mockery of the Nine-Tailed Fox was a reminder that this alluring and passionate fox had already awakened, and that I should be careful of her...?

Mu Zhian secretly pondered this.

He and his senior sister Fei Ying were close, and he was considered half a member of the Lan family, so the Lan family ancestors would naturally take special care of him.

If it weren't for Lan Shih-huai, he probably wouldn't have known that the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox had already awakened, but had never spoken to him.

"Living in his body? It is true that I can nurture my own spiritual consciousness inside him, but at the same time I can also nurture his nine-tailed demon body with my demonic energy. It is a mutually beneficial thing."

The nine-tailed celestial fox sneered, but her eyes remained captivating.

She walked up behind Mu Zhian, gently placed her hands on his shoulders, and then pressed her soft, delicate body against him. She asked with a smile, "Little one, what do you say?"

As her lips parted slightly, an alluring fragrance wafted out, making Mu Zhi'an's mouth go dry. He quickly lowered his eyes and said, "Does Your Highness still remember the agreement I made with you before?"

"Of course, I gave you the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's Demon Throne, and you helped me to be reborn. How could I forget such an agreement?"

"However, I'm not in a particular hurry to be reborn right now. Staying in your innate furnace for a thousand years or so is fine. You don't need to rush to arrange my rebirth," the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox said lazily.

"They're just eyeing his innate furnace, why pretend to be so considerate?" Lan Shihua sneered, seeing through the fox's thoughts at a glance.

"He hasn't even said anything, why are you in such a hurry?"

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox chuckled upon hearing this, glanced at Mu Zhi'an with alluring eyes, and said with a smile, "I think this child doesn't seem to object to me staying in the Natural Furnace to nurture my spiritual consciousness. After all, he's been staring at me with a lecherous look ever since the beginning."

"I have never forgotten my promise to Your Majesty. I will do my best to gather all the materials as soon as possible to help you rebuild your body... As for your comment about staring at you, I think it's because of my natural allure, so I can't help but look at Your Majesty..."

Under the tender gaze of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, Mu Zhi'an lowered his eyes with a reserved expression, seemingly a little shy.

Tsk, this fox-eared girl really likes to tease people. After I help her reshape her demon body in the future, I will definitely make her fox ears stand up! Mu Zhian made a grudge in his heart.

"You see, he and I are naturally compatible. So what if we stay in the innate furnace for a while?"

The nine-tailed celestial fox gently brushed back the strands of hair that had been blown by the wind, her eyes like water, charming and affectionate, gazing at Mu Zhi'an.

Lan Shihuai gave Mu Zhian a deep look, then casually looked away.

"Young friend, you may now leave."

Mu Zhian nodded slightly and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Ancestor. Please feel free to ask me if there is anything I can do for you in the future."

Regardless of whether Lan Shihai helped him because of his senior sisters, her intervention in awakening the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was indeed a great help.

Otherwise, if Mu Zhian accidentally speaks ill of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox one day, he might not even know he's being retaliated against later.

……

"When exactly did Her Majesty awaken?"

After flying away from the mysterious ancient ship, Mu Zhian finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the woman who was following him like a phantom, asking her a question.

Upon hearing Mu Zhi'an's question, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox glanced at him with a sweet smile on her face and a fiery figure. As she approached him, her snow-white legs, hidden beneath her long black gauze dress, were faintly revealed, exuding an indescribable allure.

The nine-tailed celestial fox, dressed in a sexy outfit, approached Mu Zhi'an with a charming smile. Then, she reached out her snow-white slender hand and gently stroked his face. Her sexy red lips parted slightly as she said, "If I had to say what this is about, it's all your fault."

“Is it my fault…? I don’t think I’ve disturbed Your Highness at all…” Mu Zhian hesitated for a moment.

Could it be that when he was being intimate with others, the spiritual energy of the innate furnace decreased, thus disturbing the nine-tailed celestial fox sleeping in the innate furnace?

Are you an idiot?

The nine-tailed celestial fox rolled her eyes at Mu Zhian, even her gaze was alluring and seductive.

"I only made a promise to you to give you the Demon Throne, but I didn't say that you could share the Demon Throne with others. When Gong Lianyue was in seclusion, she had that little girl connect to the Demon Throne, so I was naturally awakened."

She truly is a woman born with natural allure; even her scolding sounds like a young girl's coquettishness, exuding an indescribable charm and sexiness. It would probably be enough to make some boys with special tastes willingly hug her long legs and beg, "Sister, please scold me a few more times!"

“But in my previous agreement with the Empress, it doesn’t seem to have said that the Demon Throne cannot be shared with others…” Mu Zhian couldn’t help but say.

The nine-tailed celestial fox was speechless for a moment.

Mu Zhian is absolutely right.

Their previous agreement was that she would give the throne of the demon to Mu Zhi'an, and Mu Zhi'an would help her be reborn.

Ultimately, she never imagined that there would be a second person capable of inheriting the Demon Throne.

Moreover, this person was actually the Palace Master of the Sword Palace.

When Gong Lianyue severed her Heavenly Dao, she left behind a contingency plan, which was to place Bai Ruoxi into a member of the Fox Clan. Her goal was to enable her to cultivate both of her physical constitutions to the point of Dao Integration and achieve the supreme Dao Fruit.

In the future, Bai Ruoxi, as the 'scabbard,' will be a nine-tailed demon, while Gong Lianyue, as the 'sword body,' will be a sword immortal.

Both physiques are at the Dao Integration Realm, and their strength will be unprecedented.

Seeing this, Mu Zhian pressed his advantage, saying, "My physique is special, so it would be a waste to give the Demon Throne to me completely, but if it were given to the Palace Master, she could bring out the full potential of the Demon Throne."

The nine-tailed celestial fox glared at him: "The problem is, what does Gong Lianyue's situation have to do with me? Her becoming stronger is more of a disadvantage than an advantage for me."

Mu Zhian looked troubled: "But I've already shared my demon throne with her, and it's too late to take it back now..."

Seeing the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's displeasure, Mu Zhi'an said reservedly, "It's too late to turn back now. If Your Majesty truly feels that sharing the Demon Throne with others is inappropriate, this junior is willing to make amends in any way possible."

"Any way?"

The nine-tailed celestial fox narrowed her beautiful eyes, glanced at the handsome young man a few times, and pursed her full, alluring red lips.

After gazing for an unknown period of time, a melodious and sweet laugh rang out from the ancestral land.

Then, a sweet and leisurely voice gently lingered in the boy's ears.

"You said it yourself~"

……

"Your innate furnace body has likely been strengthened multiple times in the past, which is why it exudes such a sweet aura. However, remember not to reveal your innate furnace body constitution, or it will bring you enormous trouble."

Having received Mu Zhi'an's promise, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox nodded with great satisfaction, but did not forget to remind Mu Zhi'an to know how to cherish himself.

What hasn't a powerful being who can resonate with the 'Tao' experienced in his life? What geniuses haven't he seen?

No matter how gifted or talented you are, most geniuses, let alone attain enlightenment, are stuck at the Void Returning Realm for their entire lives, unable to make any further progress. Ultimately, with no confidence left, they turn into a handful of dust after thousands of years.

Even the strongest physique is fleeting, and what good is combat power if it can't compare to the powerful figures in Kyushu who have already reached the Dao Integration Realm?

In the past, there were quite a few outstanding talents among the fox clan, but after the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, not a single one of them was able to achieve the Dao.

No, not to mention the fox clan, there are only a handful of people in the Dao Integration Realm in the entire demon realm, and they have all appeared in the last 100,000 years.

Throughout this long history, the number of Dao Integration Realm cultivators who have ever appeared in the Demon Realm is only about five, and currently only two are still alive.

but--

Mu Zhian was unlike any other genius she had ever met.

For the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, whether Mu Zhian's physique is strong or not, or whether he is a genius, is not important. What is important is that his innate furnace can evolve.

"Once those powerful figures in Kyushu learn of his secret, they will probably try every means to get him."

The nine-tailed celestial fox gazed silently, her alluring eyes filled with desire, and couldn't help but think to herself.

"I will keep your words in mind, senior." Mu Zhian was very reserved and obedient, and humbly listened to the warning from the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox.

Of course, that's what they say, but this Nine-Tailed Queen's information network is clearly not very good.

Several powerful figures throughout the Nine Provinces already knew about his physical characteristics...

Leaving aside Dongzhou for the moment, if Empress Luo Tan of the Immortal Dynasty of Yuzhou knew that Mu Zhi'an had returned to the Void Realm, she would probably immediately send someone to host a banquet for Mu Zhi'an.

Who knows, after getting Mu Zhian slightly tipsy at the banquet, they might carry him back to their own bedchamber...

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was very satisfied with Mu Zhi'an's attitude. She licked her lips, making them appear even redder, and said, "Don't forget our promise~"

Mu Zhian nodded reservedly: "This junior always keeps his promises. Since I have said it, I will definitely fulfill it. In the future, I will do everything I can to make it up to Your Highness."

Boom...

A thunderous roar echoed from the main road, signifying that the oath had taken effect.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox nodded slightly and then kindly reminded Mu Zhian of another matter: "By the way, if you want to leave the ancestral land now, you have to be careful. There are powerful beings fighting outside, and their aura is astonishing. If you are not careful, you may get hurt."

"Does Your Highness know who the opponent was?" Mu Zhian asked humbly.

“One’s aura surpasses the Dao Integration Realm, and the other… wait, her aura also seems close to Ascension? No, she hasn’t ascended to the Ascension Realm, it’s just that the Heavenly Dao hasn’t restricted her, so her combat power is similar to that Ascension Realm expert.”

Otherworldly deities are not subject to the rules of heaven and earth, thus possessing extraordinary combat power.

However, Yao Meng is the Human Emperor after all, and it is impossible for her to lose, so there is no need to worry too much... Mu Zhian nodded slightly: "Thank you for reminding me, Your Majesty."

The nine-tailed celestial fox gave him one last look, her heart filled with admiration.

This Mu Zhian wasn't as blindly arrogant as the geniuses she'd seen before. He was good-looking and had a pleasant voice. If she were to be reborn in the future, she could take him back to the demon realm.

She wasn't particularly interested in the position of ruler of the demon realm, but given her status, if she were just bringing a cultivator from the Eastern Continent back to the demon realm, the demon empress would simply turn a blind eye and pretend she didn't see it.

After all, no matter what, the Demon Queen was still considered a 'junior' in her eyes.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox and the First Demon Emperor were from the same generation of demons. She was the Queen of the Demon Realm and was one of the thirteen seats of the First Demon Emperor. However, she had amazing talent and devoured many cultivators on her cultivation path with her Devouring Demon Body, eventually becoming the 'youngest' Dao Integration expert.

The next moment, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox transformed into a wisp of pink smoke and drifted into the innate furnace.

Mu Zhian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His back was already soaked with sweat.

It wasn't because of fear or terror; it was simply because this Nine-Tailed Fox was too hot!

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox didn't make any deliberate seductive moves, yet every action she took was filled with an allure that could drive men mad.
