It turns out, they were the main characters.

Yao Meng gave a meaningful "Oh": "That's perfect, I'll take you to find your Brother Mu."

"You've been cultivating all this time, so you probably haven't seen him much, right?"

She slightly bent her knees, gently stroking Ye Qian's pure and charming face with her slender hand, and said with a smile, "Taking this opportunity, let me teach you some interesting things besides cultivation~"

Ye Qian nodded blankly at first, then looked at the woman who was holding her hand and about to leave Dexinyuan, and suddenly said, "By the way, Master."

Yao Meng glanced back casually and saw her disciple's bewildered look, so she couldn't help but ask, "Hmm? What's wrong?"

Ye Qian tilted her head slightly, and then, under Yao Meng's slowly freezing gaze, she asked softly, "Brother Mu...who is he?"

Chapter 487 Naturally Born Furnace and Naturally Born Furnace 5K

Half an hour ago.

It was raining outside the courtyard, and water splashed everywhere on the ground, creating a white blur.

Mu Zhian opened the bamboo slips and looked at the various records on them amidst the sound of rain, his eyes filled with contemplation.

Without a doubt, the records in these bamboo slips describe the Primordial Witch.

Currently, Mengrou has two strands of the Primordial Witch's spirit within her body, and the one deep in the Southern Wilderness is the last one... Moreover, if the description in the record is correct, that Primordial Witch's spirit is probably far more powerful than the other two.

But the question is, who recorded this? How did they know that the Primordial Witch was sealed in that place?

Why did Gu Boxing find this bamboo slip?

Perhaps I should find some time to go to Yaochi and see if I can get any useful information out of Gu Boxing...

Having considered this, Mu Zhian got up and was about to head to the Dexin Garden next door.

Yao Meng and Qian'er were both there, and he was also curious about what the master and apprentice had talked about.

Just as Mu Zhian stood up, he suddenly vaguely felt a faint white light flash before his eyes.

The white light was incredibly soft, sacred, and captivating, but the moment Mu Zhian saw it, he felt a chill.

This single ray of white light seemed capable of annihilating the illusion of stars!

Mu Zhian squinted, staring at the object in the white light.

It was an arrow, very small, barely the size of a fingernail.

But when it arrived, the spiritual energy in the entire space seemed to be stripped away in that instant, and the space twisted in that instant, forming a vortex of airflow.

"The Arrow of Heavenly Dao!"

Mu Zhian's expression changed, and he finally realized the origin of this thing.

That arrow of the Heavenly Dao that sealed away the last vestige of the Primordial Witch's consciousness!

However, the aura of this Heavenly Arrow was far less terrifying than that of the arrow that sealed the Primordial Witch.

It's probably less than one percent of that.

Whoosh!

The arrow flew out rapidly, but instead of piercing Mu Zhi'an's body, it stopped in front of him.

A soft, pale white light fell upon Mu Zhi'an's head. Within the light, it seemed as if a woman, personified from countless rays of light, descended from the sky and gently stroked his face.

Like the Mother Goddess who created the world, she encompasses everything.

Mu Zhian tried to move his feet, but found that he could hardly move even a finger, let alone his body.

"Who are you?" he asked with difficulty.

He/She didn't speak, but gazed tenderly at Mu Zhian, and then gently pulled him into her arms.

At this moment, the misty rain seemed to freeze, and the whole world seemed to stand still.

Then, the soft halo gradually enveloped Mu Zhian's body completely.

Mu Zhian felt a strong sense of drowsiness and a sense of security. He knew that such seemingly harmless methods were often the most deadly, but he still gradually lowered his guard and vigilance, wanting only to fall asleep in such a warm embrace.

Finally, he slowly closed his eyes.

The soft white light faded, and the courtyard was deserted, save for the pattering of rain. Time passed silently amidst the interplay of light and shadow.

……

"Why did Master suddenly want to take me to see that Brother Mu...who is he?"

In the courtyard of Dexin Garden, Ye Qian stopped, a look of confusion on her face, and looked at her master with puzzled eyes.

Suddenly, Yao Meng heard a shout from behind her: "Senior Qingdi, where are you planning to take Qian'er?"

Yao Meng looked back and saw that Ye Lingxuan had come out of the house at some point.

"I originally planned to take Qian'er to see your Brother Mu, but she seems to be..."

Before Yao Meng could finish speaking, she saw Ye Lingxuan pause for a moment, her eyes slowly widening as if she had remembered something important, and she quickened her pace and rushed out of Dexinyuan.

"What's wrong?" Yao Meng immediately called out to her.

Ye Lingxuan stopped at the entrance of the villa. She stared blankly at the empty glazed palace and murmured softly, "I...I want to see someone...but I've forgotten who that person is...He seems to be someone very important to me."

As she spoke, she slowly squatted down, hugging her knees, and limply pressed her forehead against her knees.

This was the first time Yao Meng had ever seen this proud and talented young girl with such an expression, looking lost and helpless like an abandoned girl.

She looked at the Reincarnated Empress who was following Ye Lingxuan like a shadow: "You don't remember either?"

The Reincarnated Empress silently gazed at Ye Lingxuan and gently shook her head: "I know all her memories, and naturally I don't know what she doesn't know."

Yao Meng remained silent.

Some cultivators who practice the 'Qi Refining' method can indeed shield themselves from the secrets of heaven to a certain extent, making it impossible for others to detect their presence.

But even the Reincarnated Queen can't remember... There's only one person who can do that.

—The Way of Heaven.

The Dao Integration Realm is within the rules of heaven and earth, so it is still subject to the restrictions of the heavenly rules. After the heavenly rules shielded Mu Zhi'an, naturally no one would remember him.

But the Feather Transformation Realm is an exception.

"It seems something really did happen to him."

Just then, Yao Meng suddenly sensed a very familiar aura. Her spiritual sense locked onto the other party almost immediately and looked towards the woman who had spoken.

That iconic black and white palace dress, with its vibrant plum blossoms embroidered on the fabric... without a doubt, it's Gong Lian Yue!

"Why are you here?" Yao Meng asked.

Gong Lianyue gazed at Ye Lingxuan, who was being held in the arms of the Reincarnated Empress and whose expression was full of struggle, and Ye Qian, who looked bewildered and anxious. She said expressionlessly, "Even the memories of the Dao Integration Realm have been slightly affected. If Ruoxi hadn't told me about the changes here, I probably wouldn't have noticed."

"The Ascension Realm is unaffected by the Heavenly Rules, so neither you nor I have changed our memories. But other people's memories have been more or less distorted, right?"

Yao Meng was calmer than expected. Looking at Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian, she suddenly asked in a low voice, "Do you really not remember anything about Mu Zhian?"

"I don't know... I don't know who Mu Zhian is. Is he important to me?" Ye Lingxuan shook her head gently, her expression conflicted.

Yao Meng gazed at the two of them quietly, then suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought about what would happen if Mu Zhi'an didn't exist in this world? Who would you have your first kiss with, or even your first time?"

The moment that voice fell, it was like a bolt of lightning cleaving through my mind.

Ye Lingxuan was initially annoyed and embarrassed, because in her worldview, it was impossible for her to have such an absurd situation as serving the same husband as Qian'er.

But before she could speak, she suddenly realized that she had already lost her first essence long ago.

Ye Qian was also taken aback.

Then, the girl's eyes, which had been filled with confusion and painful struggle, gradually shone with an unprecedented light.

yes……

She had previously felt as if there was a void in her heart, a strange sense of loss, because she had forgotten someone very important, and... she wasn't sure if that person really existed.

But if that person isn't a real person, then to whom did she give her first kiss, or even her body...?

Ye Lingxuan seemed to remember something important. She took out a snow lotus symbolizing purity from her storage ring. She couldn't figure out who or what she had forgotten, but for some reason, she felt nostalgic and a strange sense of melancholy when she saw the snow lotus.

Why the resentment? Is there some grudge against someone?

But if that's the case, why can't I bring myself to hate that person...?

Ye Lingxuan slowly embraced the snow lotus, as if feeling the warmth it brought.

Yao Meng's eyes flickered slightly, seemingly not quite understanding the meaning behind Ye Lingxuan's action.

“When Mu Lang was in Tianxuan City, he once gave us a snow lotus. This one is probably the one he gave to Lingxuan when he first met her.” Bai Ruoxi’s gentle voice rang out in the villa.

“That certainly has his style,” Yao Meng said softly.

"Aren't you worried about his safety?" Gong Lianyue asked.

"The Liangyi Sect's formation is still intact, and he has the seat of the Heavenly Court's Lord, so he hasn't used it. It's alright."

Yao Meng said calmly, "Besides, he is the man I have my eye on. I don't believe he would really disappear from this world forever without leaving a trace."

……

As the two emperors departed, in Dexin Garden, the Reincarnated Empress gently embraced Ye Qian and Ye Lingxuan, as if comforting them.

"Do you think I could really have someone I like?" Ye Lingxuan suddenly asked softly in the white-robed woman's warm embrace.

The Reincarnated Empress gazed silently at the girl in her arms and said softly, "I don't quite believe it."

Ye Lingxuan appears to be very polite to everyone, a very polite young lady, but in reality, her arrogance is probably unmatched, because from the past to the present, no one of her age has surpassed Ye Lingxuan in talent.

"But the Azure Emperor just said—"

Before Ye Lingxuan could finish speaking, the Reincarnated Empress suddenly released Ye Lingxuan and gently pointed to her chest: "But your heart will not lie to you."

"Are you sad right now?" she asked again.

Ye Lingxuan remained silent for a long time before softly humming in agreement.

She couldn't recall the 'Mu Zhi'an' that the Azure Emperor had mentioned, but every time she saw this snow lotus, her heart would feel a sharp pain, as if it were being pricked by a needle.

After a long while, as if she had made up her mind, she raised her head and gazed at the Reincarnated Empress: "After returning to the Forbidden Zone this time, I will complete the final resonance with you."

After resonating with the reincarnated empress, she was no longer Ye Lingxuan, but the forbidden zone empress with complete memories of nine lifetimes.

According to the reincarnated empress's wishes, she had never had a Daoist partner in her past nine lives, but in this life, she has confirmed her romantic feelings for someone, and even with Qian'er...
