It turns out, they were the main characters.

"You should know that what I hate most in my life is being schemed against by others. That alone is enough for me to blacklist Yaochi Holy Land forever," Luo Tan said quietly.

"Calculation?"

However, Yao Meng couldn't help but smile faintly when she heard this: "If the Medicine Emperor himself has no feelings for him, with the support of the formation in Yuzhou, do you think I would force you to do something you don't like, or even make you offer your innate furnace body to him?"

Luo Tan: "..."

Even the alchemy empress, who had experienced countless treacherous schemes in the past, was speechless for a moment.

"I only asked you to look after him for a few days. Did I ever say anything like asking you to [take care of him]?" Yao Meng continued to ask.

"I was the one who plotted against you, but whether you want to be plotted against or not is entirely up to you from beginning to end."

"If you had never harbored any ill intentions towards my Daoist partner, how could I have schemed against you?" The Holy Fairy spoke in a gentle and calm tone, leaving Luo Tan speechless for a moment.

She pursed her lips, intending to speak, but found that there really wasn't much to say.

She exposed the Azure Emperor's spying and his scheming... but the problem is, no matter how you look at it, it seems she really has no grounds for complaint.

At the time, the Azure Emperor only entrusted Luo Tan to look after Mu Zhi'an for a few days, without saying anything else... However, after the Azure Emperor left, Luo Tan secretly wanted to devour this 'cake' completely.

"I'm not here today to chat about trivial things like who's right and who's wrong," Luo Tan said, trying to maintain her usual elegant and calm tone.

"I want to make a deal with you."

“Okay, what do you want?” Yao Meng asked softly.

"Anything I can give you is fine... After all, this whole thing was caused by me."

Luo Tan turned to look at the boy beside her, her eyes softening slightly, and said gently, "I want him."

Yao Meng gently shook her head: "You can have anything from Yaochi Holy Land... except him."

Luo Tan pondered for a moment, then revealed a charming smile: "Then you must not interfere in my private affairs with him from now on, how about that?"

Yao Meng fell silent for a moment.

As expected of the Empress of Yuzhou, Luo Tan has a truly unique perspective.

Luo Tan knew she couldn't just hand over her husband, so she first proposed the impossible condition of wanting Mu Zhi'an, and then settled for second best... but the condition still revolved around Mu Zhi'an.

Unfortunately, this condition is in a very ambiguous position... It would be a pity to refuse, but not refusing... would make one hesitate.

After all, no one likes to give their lover away... even if it's just temporarily.

But this is related to whether Mu Zhian can comprehend the Dao in a short period of time.

Luo Tan seemed confident of victory, smiled gracefully, and said, "You should know how long it normally takes to cultivate to the peak of the Returning to Emptiness realm, right?"

"It could take anywhere from a few decades to a few centuries; it all depends on one's own luck and talent," Yao Meng said calmly.

"Besides that, you should also know about the benefits that the innate furnace can provide."

Luo Tan stood up leisurely, and then said in a gentle and sincere tone, "I will give him everything I have, but I also need your promise today."

Yao Meng's beautiful eyes flickered, as if she was weighing the pros and cons.

Luo Tan is a natural furnace, and the person who cultivates with her for the first time can improve by a major realm in a short period of time... Moreover, as the Empress of Yuzhou and the only Medicine Emperor in the Nine Provinces with the opportunity to refine immortal-grade pills, she will be of great help to Mu Zhian in the future.

Most importantly... this Medicine King probably didn't even realize that he had already fallen into it.

On the surface, it seems that Luo Tan cheated on Yao Meng, but in the end, Mu Zhi'an's first Daoist partner was not Yao Meng at all.

Moreover, Mu Zhian has already been intimate with so many beauties... what difference would it make if there were one more Luo Tan?

But what's the deal with these women?

Perhaps I've been lonely for too long, because everyone's hobbies are so similar to mine...

Yao Meng felt a little strange. Soon, she let out a soft breath and smiled brightly: "Okay, I promise you."

Just then, time began to flow again in the palace where the law of time had been frozen, and the gray palace gradually regained its bright and beautiful colors.

Mu Zhian seemed somewhat surprised when he saw Yao Meng, and subconsciously said, "You really hid in my Azure Lotus Ring?"

"It's just that a wisp of my consciousness residing in the Azure Lotus Ring happened to be awakened by Luo Tan."

Yao Meng smiled slightly, and with her skirt fluttering, she walked step by step toward Mu Zhian with her fair white feet treading on the air.

Then, under Luo Tan's gaze, she lowered her head slightly, and her red lips gently captured Mu Zhi'an's lips.

After a moment, she turned her head slightly, indulging Luo Tan's peculiar habit, and said softly:

"Then, I'll leave my husband to you to take care of."

"After you froze time using the principle of time... what did you talk about with her?"

Yao Meng's words sounded very strange no matter how you looked at them, to the point that even Mu Zhian, a seasoned veteran of the dating scene, was starting to lose his composure.

"It's nothing, I just chatted with the Medicine King about some trivial matters, don't worry about it," Yao Meng said with a smile.

That's what they said, but Mu Zhian knew they were obviously talking about themselves.

However, since Yao Meng refused to say, he couldn't press her for details during this particular time.

Yao Meng looked up at Luo Tan and said softly, "I hope you remember to keep the promise between us."

"As agreed, I will refine the Nine Cauldrons Refining Void Pill in the next few days and hand it over to him."

The noble and elegant empress walked to Mu Zhi'an's side. She was about the same height as Mu Zhi'an, but when she wore snow-white boots, she seemed to exude an invisible sense of pressure. She looked back at Yao Meng and smiled, "You don't need to worry."

So what exactly did you talk about? Do you know that the riddle teller needs mugwort...? Mu Zhian wanted to ask, but at that moment, Yao Meng's figure in mid-air had already turned into a phantom. She gave Mu Zhian a meaningful look and quietly returned to the Azure Lotus Ring.

"Now the matter is temporarily resolved."

Luo Tan lazily stretched out her graceful figure, then looked at Mu Zhian with a slight smile and said, "I know you have many questions for me, but you only need to know one thing right now."

She paused deliberately to attract Mu Zhi'an's attention, and continued, "Your sister Qingdi has already entrusted you to me."

Mu Zhian: "???"

"Hmm... that's not quite accurate, but at least back in Yuzhou, you were one of my people."

Luo Tan corrected the error in his previous description with more accurate words.

"When did you find out that a wisp of her spiritual consciousness remained in the Azure Lotus Ring?" Mu Zhian asked hesitantly.

Luo Tan smiled and said, "Have you forgotten who I am?"

"Alchemists are born with a more acute spiritual sense and stronger mental power than others."

Mu Zhian asked with some confusion, "If that's the case, then why didn't you let Sister Qingdi show herself in the first place? Why did you keep delaying it until now?"

Luo Tan said, "Why don't you guess the reason yourself?"

If she were to say now that she had no idea the Azure Emperor would leave his spiritual consciousness in Mu Zhi'an's Azure Lotus Ring, but that the Princess Consort had reminded her not long ago... that would be too embarrassing and would damage the image of the Medicine Emperor.

Even the most powerful beings in the Dao Integration Realm are not omniscient. It's just that most cultivators never have the opportunity to get close to them, so in their eyes, the image of Dao Integration Realm experts is always mysterious and powerful.

Mu Zhian looked at him with suspicion: "You didn't just find out recently, did you?"

Luo Tan glanced at Mu Zhian but did not reply. Her clear, cold voice rang out:

"I will refine the Nine Cauldrons Refining Void Pill for you within the next few days, but before that, I need to set up a shielding array in the palace to prevent anyone from noticing that you have broken through to the peak of the Returning Void Realm."

Mu Zhian thought to herself that Her Majesty's way of changing the subject was really awkward, but when she sensed the threatening look in Luo Tan's eyes, which seemed to say "try asking again," she finally gave in for the time being.

A true man can bend and stretch. Now you dare to threaten me with your eyes? I'll make you beg for mercy and call me daddy in a minute...

"Because we can't let the powerful figures of Kyushu realize that I advanced to the peak of the Returning to Emptiness realm overnight?" Mu Zhian asked.

Luo Tan gave him an approving look: "That makes sense."

Overnight, his progress suddenly skyrocketed from the first level of the Void Returning Realm to the peak of the Void Returning Realm. Even if he had taken a celestial-grade pill, it would not have been so outrageous.

If people were to immediately notice the commotion in the Yuzhou Imperial Palace, the powerful figures of the Nine Provinces would immediately assume that Luo Tan was engaging in dual cultivation with a cultivator of the opposite sex.

At that time, Mu Zhian will be thrust into the spotlight.

Being targeted by someone... that's not a good thing.

Moreover, the Great Roc Emperor will realize that the Nine Cauldrons Refining Void Pill was prepared for Mu Zhi'an.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" Mu Zhian asked.

Luo Tan pondered for a moment, then smiled brightly: "You just need to be prepared to step into the Enlightenment Realm and undergo the Heavenly Tribulation test."

"Out of a thousand Void Returning Realm cultivators, it would be good if one or two could successfully comprehend the Dao. Although you have the Nine Cauldrons Void Refining Pill, it's still not safe enough. Don't be careless. It's best to adjust your state to its best... Hmm~ Are you even listening to me?"

Luo Tan frowned slightly as Mu Zhi'an wrapped his arms around her waist. A warm breath made the empress's body go slightly limp, and she breathed out a sweet breath from her red lips.

"Didn't Her Majesty the Empress tell me to prepare to step into the Enlightenment Realm? A moment of blissful night is worth a thousand pieces of gold."

As soon as Mu Zhian finished speaking, he saw the beautiful Empress tense up and blush rise to her cheeks.

She looked at Mu Zhian with complicated eyes and said, "It seems I don't know you well enough."

Mu Zhian asked in confusion, "What does Your Majesty mean by that?"

Luo Tan did not answer, but gently pushed Mu Zhi'an away, left his embrace, and walked towards the door of the bedroom with sexy steps.

She did know quite a bit about Mu Zhi'an. At first, she thought Mu Zhi'an was a shy and reserved young man who was very respectful to his seniors...

That's why, when she was in the Liangyi Sect, after learning about the relationship between Mu Zhian and the Azure Emperor, she had the idea of ​​secretly eating the 'cake' without the Azure Emperor's knowledge.

But now it seems that her impression of Mu Zhi'an is still somewhat different from the real Mu Zhi'an.

But that doesn't matter.

After all, she herself wasn't as reserved and elegant as Mu Zhian imagined.

At least not when they're being intimate in private.

Luo Tan gently pushed open the door to the bedroom. Mu Zhi'an looked at Luo Tan standing at the entrance and was about to ask her why she opened the door.

However, at this moment, he suddenly felt that something was amiss in his personal interface.

Mu Zhian raised his hand and opened his personal interface, where he found two incredibly ancient and mysterious runes.

"These are all array symbols, corresponding to the fifth and sixth seats in the Heavenly Court. Does this mean Huang Weifeng has already taken care of them?"

Mu Zhian took the opportunity to check the various titles on his personal interface and found that he had indeed obtained a new title, 'Chosen One'.

Mu Zhian was not surprised by Huang Weifeng's death.
