It turns out, they were the main characters.

The princess had a minor disagreement with him, but he immediately turned around and continued to be intimate with Luo Tan... Even if it was just for show, if the Great Roc Emperor's fiancée had any emotional intelligence, she wouldn't have revealed their intimacy in the quiet room just now.

The three people inside the room all understood, but none of them said anything.

“However, after this, she might start to doubt your identity,” Luo Tan sighed softly.

Mu Zhian shrugged: "Since you trust her, I also believe that even if she knows about the Heavenly Furnace, she will keep it a secret."

Luo Tan's eyes glistened with tears, and she said with a deep look in them, "I do believe her... but I don't want her to find out so soon."

Mu Zhian asked with doubt, "Why?"

Luo Tan remained silent for a long time before walking over in her snow-white knee-high boots. She stopped in front of Mu Zhi'an and said softly, "The Azure Emperor is not here, and there is no woman in Yuzhou whom you know... so you are my man."

“I don’t want to share this with anyone else… Although I don’t think that with the princess’s arrogance, she would take the initiative to befriend you after learning that the Heavenly Court’s spiritual energy originated from your furnace, I don’t want to gamble on even the slightest possibility.”

Although the ancients often said that "familiarity breeds affection".

But before they've even gotten close, the empress already has this possessiveness.

"Do you think I'm being too stingy?" Luo Tan suddenly asked when Mu Zhi'an remained silent.

Mu Zhian noticed a hint of tenderness beneath the Empress's elegant demeanor, shook his head, and said seriously, "Everyone has possessiveness, and besides, I also like Your Majesty's current possessiveness."

Then, he saw the noble, elegant, and stunningly beautiful Empress of Yuzhou blush and glare at him.

Mu Zhian couldn't help but smile.

Compared to her usual aloof and elegant demeanor, he preferred her now, because this version of Luo Tan had a more down-to-earth and approachable quality, making her feel more approachable.

Mu Zhian reached out and grasped Luo Tan's slender hand, saying softly, "Your Majesty, perhaps now..."

Luo Tan gently stroked the boy's face, trying to calm himself down, and said in a soft and elegant voice, "Not now. There are a lot more memorials during the Sabbath, and I have to deal with them first."

Damn the Sabbath… Mu Zhian nodded: “Then I won’t disturb Your Majesty any longer.”

He turned to leave the quiet room when the woman behind him suddenly called out to him.

The moment Mu Zhian turned around, his collar was gently tugged, and when he looked up, he saw Luo Tan's stunningly beautiful and alluring face.

Luo Tan slightly raised her head, their noses almost touching, their intimate breaths gently falling on each other's faces.

The next moment, Luo Tan gently kissed Mu Zhi'an's lips with her small, rosy, and sexy lips, then leaned close to his ear and whispered in her moist, sweet voice:

"Wait for me in my bedchamber tonight."

Chapter 494 The Princess's Test 5K

Southern Wilderness.

The wheels rumbled.

The luxurious phoenix carriage, crafted from amethyst, came to a stop in the spatial temple of the Southern Wilderness.

Before long, a fairy with ethereal beauty, whose beauty surpassed all others in the land, stepped down from the phoenix carriage, supported by her female disciples from Yaochi.

The strong wind caused her light blue dress to billow backward, the hem of which clung tightly to her high, firm breasts. The thin dress could not conceal her curvaceous figure, and every inch of her skin seemed to glow with a crystalline luster. The hazy white mist made it difficult to see clearly.

Yao Meng walked gracefully to the front of the temple, glanced at the Southern Wilderness maidservant at the temple entrance, and asked softly, "Did the God of Space send you here to wait for me?"

"Yes, Her Majesty the Holy Maiden said you would arrive today, so she instructed me to wait here and guide you into the palace."

The maid guarding the gate answered respectfully, and then bowed slightly: "Please come with me."

Led by a maid, Yao Meng walked into the main hall after a short while, stepping on the soft lichen, and met the woman who was already waiting in the hall.

Her figure was graceful, her posture upright, and her long, smooth platinum blonde hair complemented her gorgeous white dress, highlighting the domineering aura befitting an empress.

Regina, or rather, Sheeyi.

“Yesterday, a phoenix carriage entered my Southern Wilderness territory from the Eastern Continent. Along the way, many cultivators from the Southern Wilderness were curious about the female owner of the carriage. Some even couldn’t resist attacking the carriage, but before they could even touch it, they were sealed as furnaces for several days…”

Xueyi walked down the steps one by one and came to Yao Meng. She casually smoothed out the wrinkles in her clothes and said softly, "You could have come to the Southern Wilderness to find me directly, but you chose to come slowly in a phoenix carriage. Sometimes you really are hard to understand."

Yao Meng smiled and said, "I sometimes want to enjoy the scenery along the way, and it wouldn't be very polite to just barge into the Southern Wilderness Temple, would it?"

Xueyi smiled and asked casually, "Why didn't I see Mu Zhian today?"

“He’s in Yuzhou,” Yao Meng said with a smile.

Xueyi's expression changed slightly, and her voice unconsciously lowered a few decibels: "You left him alone in Yuzhou? Why?"

"It's nothing, I just need to go out, and I'm not comfortable leaving him in Dongzhou," Yao Meng said calmly.

Xueyi's eyes flickered, and she said softly, "I'm not at ease leaving him in Dongzhou, but you're at ease leaving him by the Medicine Emperor's side? You know perfectly well that if the Medicine Emperor notices that he's a natural furnace for cultivation..."

Xueyi didn't continue speaking because she noticed a hint of complexity flash in Yao Meng's eyes for a moment.

Then, Yao Meng raised an eyebrow and said with a faint smile, "If it's not safe for him to stay by the Medicine King's side, then perhaps we should bring him to the Southern Wilderness? But I don't think the God of Space would be interested in such troublesome things as taking care of someone, would he?"

I'm not interested in taking care of people, but I'd be very interested in taking care of your husband...

A strange glint appeared in Xue Yi's usually gentle expression. She gave a soft "hmm": "Of course, I naturally have no interest in your husband... However, Regina seems to have special feelings for Mu Zhian, so I'm doing this for her sake..."

Yao Meng gave a soft "hmm," and said with a half-smile, "I see... The God of Space is truly considerate, even taking Regina's feelings into account."

His words were not without a hint of teasing.

This might fool a naive girl like Linglong, but the mighty Qingdi wouldn't believe Xueyi's words.

It seems that ever since he tasted the flavor of the innate furnace, this God of Space has become addicted to it.

Xueyi slightly raised her snow-white chin, her smooth platinum-gold hair draped over her fragrant shoulders, and said in a soft voice, "It seems that the Azure Emperor has something to say?"

Yao Meng smiled faintly and brought up a seemingly unimportant topic: "You've probably heard of the innate furnace body, right?"

"Of course, why did you suddenly bring up the Heavenly Furnace?" Xueyi asked gently in a sweet voice.

"The natural furnace is closely related to the person's cultivation level. The higher the cultivation level, the greater the benefits one can gain from dual cultivation with the person. However, throughout history, most natural furnaces have only received limited benefits even when dual cultivation with the person. Some natural furnaces with lower cultivation levels can only add a bit of romance to the dual cultivation process."

Yao Meng casually toyed with a strand of hair with her fingertips, a hint of emotion shimmering in her gentle eyes that seemed to pity all living beings. She raised her eyelids and said softly, "But you should know what my husband's natural furnace is like, right?"

A hint of unease flashed across Xueyi's face as she smiled faintly and said, "I have never had any intimate relationship with your husband, so how would I know about these things?"

Yao Meng did not dwell on the matter, and casually said: "When he was in the Qi Refining Realm, he possessed a furnace for the Spirit Refining Realm. After reaching the Spirit Refining Realm, his innate furnace evolved to the Void Returning Realm."

"During the Ascension Ceremony, he took a pill, which allowed the innate furnace to evolve once again."

"God of Space, why don't you guess what your innate furnace will be like when you reach the Enlightenment Realm?"

dong dong!

Almost instantly, Xueyi's eyes widened, her heart raced, and she stared intently at the fairy before her.

"A Dao-Merging... or even a natural furnace cauldron higher than Dao-Merging?" She subconsciously lowered her voice, trying her best to remain calm.

Yao Meng smiled faintly and said, "Perhaps... but there is a prerequisite: that he can successfully comprehend the Dao."

"You should know just how perilous the path from returning to emptiness to enlightenment truly is, right?"

Xueyi nodded silently.

If the Void Returning Realm makes one a powerful figure in the Nine Provinces, and a target for ancient families to recruit talent, then the Enlightenment Realm allows one to do whatever one pleases in this world, as long as one does not anger a Dao Integration Realm expert.

However, the path to enlightenment is extremely difficult. Judging from historical records, it is already quite good if two or three out of a thousand people at the Void Returning Realm are able to achieve enlightenment.

Since the rewriting of the rules of heaven and earth not long ago, at least more than a thousand people have attempted to break through and attain enlightenment, only to perish in the heavenly tribulation.

"The path to immortality is long and arduous, and the ways of Heaven are merciless. If you want to comprehend the Dao and extend your lifespan, you must bear the threat of heavenly tribulations."

Yao Meng changed the subject and said quietly, "But if one has the Nine Cauldrons Refining Void Pill, and is further aided by a naturally born Dao Embryo, the success rate of comprehending the Dao can even be increased to 60% to 70%."

Xueyi did not answer, her voice as soft and crisp as ever: "So, when you asked me for the Black Flame True Leaf from the Southern Wilderness, it was indeed for this Nine Cauldrons Refining Void Pill?"

"Mu Zhian is truly blessed to have a Daoist partner like you," she sighed sincerely.

She paused for a moment, then smiled faintly and said, "Although Black Flame True Leaves are rare in the Southern Wilderness, they can still be found if you want to. But Cloud Mist Willows in Yunzhou are probably not so easy to find."

"I heard that you haven't had a very good relationship with Yunzhou in the past, right? If you were to step in, not to mention the Princess, even Emperor Dapeng would probably suspect your motives for wanting Yunyan Liu."

After all, the Cloud Willow can only be used to refine the Nine Cauldrons Refining Void Pill, because other pills cannot use the Cloud Willow... Suddenly wanting the Cloud Willow for no reason will naturally arouse suspicion.

Moreover, the Cloud Willow grows in the desolate and barren land of Yunzhou, which is the territory of that Great Dao Princess.

She had heard in the past that the Azure Emperor and the Queen Consort had a very bad relationship, so obtaining the Cloud Willow would probably not be so easy.

"Do you need me to get it for you?" Xueyi asked.

"If possible, that would be best, but even if you step in, you might not be able to obtain Yunyan Liu."

Yao Meng frowned slightly. Although the Southern Wilderness and Yunzhou seemed to be cooperating in secret, the Yunyan Willow was too special a rare treasure. Even if Xue Yi spoke up, Yunzhou would probably be wary.

After all, who would want a new enlightenment to emerge from another force for no reason?

"I will try my best to fetch the Cloud Willow for him," Xueyi said with a smile.

Yao Meng smiled faintly and said, "I hope so."

But he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Getting the princess to agree was easier said than done.

Moreover, even in Yunzhou, the Cloud Willow is an extremely rare natural treasure. From the time it is picked to the time it withers due to the loss of spiritual energy, it only takes seven days. Because of these harsh conditions, even a princess cannot preserve the Cloud Willow.

The only way to find Yunyanliu is for the princess to search for her herself, or to send someone to search for her... In short, it all comes down to the princess.

Thinking of this, Yao Meng quickly returned to reality and said quietly, "I'll take it one step at a time. In any case, if it's absolutely necessary, I'll go to Yunzhou myself."

……

"Luo Tan asked me to come to her bedchamber tonight... Does that mean she wants to sleep with me?"

Back in his room, Mu Zhian dismissed the maids and began to reflect on the events of the day.

In Mu Zhian's view, although Luo Tan seemed to have a strong desire to be aggressive and wanted to complement each other with her innate furnace... in reality, she was still a little shy, or rather, she couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart.

Therefore, if he goes to her bedchamber tonight, perhaps he should take the initiative...

And the fiancée of the Great Roc Emperor is also quite interesting.

Not only is she connected to the Great Dao, just like Ling'er, but her furnace is also naturally connected to the Great Dao.

If the spirit dragon is a creation favored by the Great Dao, then this queen must be the "chosen one."

On the other hand, if Ling'er wants to ascend to immortality, he first needs to resonate with the Great Dao... but in the past, he never knew how to influence the Great Dao.
