It turns out, they were the main characters.

The fact that the God of Space's position remained unshakable in the Southern Wilderness over the past tens of thousands of years is enough to show that Xue Yi is no pushover.

That woman's behavior seemed to be full of gentleness, and if you were not careful, you might fall into the web of love she had woven. Even Mu Zhian almost fell for her tricks and was unable to control that God of Space.

If it weren't for the fact that he had previously suppressed her with the power of the Primordial Witch, and that she now shared a body with Regina, Mu Zhian would have really had to keep a close watch on Xue Yi.

Even Mu Zhian, and even the former Three Pillar Gods, were quite wary of this God of Space, let alone Huang Weifeng, who was immersed in the gentle embrace of women and believed that he possessed great fortune and was invincible.

Mu Zhian quickly closed his personal interface, looked at Luo Tan standing at the entrance of the bedchamber, and asked, "Your Majesty, why did you suddenly open the door of the bedchamber?"

The bedchamber was brightly lit, and the candlelight made the empress in her white dress appear exceptionally slender and beautiful. Her black-stockinged legs seemed to faintly reveal the delicate whiteness of her skin under the candlelight.

Luo Tan glanced back at him and smiled, "I've prepared a little surprise for you."

She snapped her fingers, and the candlelight went out in an instant, while the doors to the bedchamber slowly closed.

Moonlight streamed in through the window, casting a silvery glow.

Seeing Luo Tan approach, Mu Zhian couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Your Majesty, won't you regret this?"

Luo Tan walked gracefully to Mu Zhi'an, tilted her head slightly, and smiled gently, "Regret what? Regret summoning you to see me tonight, or regret the deal we made?"

"I have never regretted anything I have done in my life. Do you think I am very concerned about ascending to immortality?"

Luo Tan lightly leaped from the windowsill and sat on the table, the silvery moonlight shining down behind her.

She looked down at Mu Zhian, her face a beauty that could rival the most beautiful women in the world. Her long hair was piled up behind her head, and her sexy and voluptuous figure was hidden in an extremely gorgeous white dress. Her long, beautiful legs were wrapped in black stockings, and her knee-high snow-white boots swayed, exuding an aura of a queen ruling the world.

Luo Tan continued, "Among those in the Dao Integration Realm, I may not be the strongest, but I am the one that Dao Integration Realm experts are most willing to befriend. You should know why, right?"

Mu Zhian hesitated and asked, "Pills?"

Luo Tan gave a soft "hmm": "In this Nine Provinces, I am the only one who can refine immortal-grade pills. I was also the one who spread the optimization method for cultivating imperial medicines... If you want to extend your lifespan, there is more than one way than ascension."

“Those in Yuzhou are protected by special formations, like Shang Yanfei of the Liangyi Sect and the Space God in the Southern Wilderness… In their own territories, their combat power will be stronger than that of ordinary Dao Integration Realm cultivators.”

Mu Zhian sat down beside her and said, "Since you don't have that strong desire to ascend to immortality, why did you choose me?"

Luo Tan thought for a moment and smiled, "At first, it was because I had been lonely for tens of thousands of years. When I saw that the Fairy of Yaochi, who had captivated countless cultivators in the Nine Provinces, had finally chosen a junior cultivator as her Daoist partner, I became somewhat interested and tried to learn more about her."

"At first, I just wanted to have some fun... but recently I've started to think that having a Daoist partner might not be so bad."

At least it adds a touch of color to this gray-toned palace.

Mu Zhian pondered, wondering if it was his own problem or the problem with the Dao Integration experts he knew. It was one thing for Yao Meng to like cuckolds, but now even the princess was enjoying the thrill of having an affair... and the Empress of Yuzhou had also awakened her love for 'cuckolds'.

Luo Tan glanced at him and said softly, "Besides that, you were also the only one who dared to secretly look at my legs when my clone descended upon the Liangyi Sect, and even harbored covetous thoughts."

At first, she thought that this junior cultivator from the Liangyi Sect knew her identity and therefore wanted to get some benefit from her.

It wasn't until later that she realized this guy didn't want anything from her at all.

Mu Zhian wanted her in person...

Mu Zhian was taken aback, then solemnly corrected him, "Your Majesty has misunderstood me. I had no intention of coveting you before."

Luo Tan suddenly stood up from the table, her tall and sexy figure faintly visible in the moonlight. Her gentle voice carried an undeniable authority: "Dare you say that you never spied on me when we first met at the Liangyi Sect?"

“That’s just an appreciation of beauty. After all, as you know, there are very few stockings in Dongzhou.” Mu Zhian did not deny it.

Luo Tan slightly raised her snow-white chin, a hint of disdain flashing in her beautiful eyes: "So you were secretly staring at other people's legs the first time you met them? Did you even want to lick them when the opportunity arose?"

Although she has never been in a relationship, it doesn't mean that Luo Tan is completely clueless.

At least she now has a firm grasp on one of Mu Zhian's hobbies.

Mu Zhian hesitated: "I think there might be an opportunity tonight?"

Luo Tan remained silent for a while, her eyes glistening with tears, and she was unusually shy. She glared at him resentfully and said, "Get lost."

Mu Zhian turned and left.

"Try walking!" Luo Tan's voice was icy, her pretty face as cold as frost.

He intended to tease this little guy who had been cultivating for less than twenty years, but unexpectedly, he ended up being teased instead...

Although Her Majesty Luo Tan has existed in this world for tens of thousands of years, she still has the heart of a little girl. We mustn't tease her too much, lest we completely anger her, and then the roles of Ai Cao and others might have to be reversed tonight...

Mu Zhian thought to himself, stopped walking, then turned back to Luo Tan's side, took her slightly cool little hand in his hand, and said softly, "Just kidding. Even if His Majesty were to send me away, I wouldn't want to leave."

Luo Tan glanced at Mu Zhian. This young man had a fair complexion and delicate features that she had never seen before. Most importantly, although he addressed the Empress of a province as "Your Majesty" repeatedly, he did not make people feel any distance between them.

This is unlike any of the younger generation she has ever encountered.

After all, which of the other younger generation would dare to hold her hand so openly?

Did he even dare to spy on her when they first met?

“I have something I want to ask you,” Luo Tan suddenly said.

Mu Zhian nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please speak."

"After you went to Yunzhou, did you have any intimate relations with the Princess?"

For a fleeting moment, Mu Zhian felt as if Luo Tan could see right through him. Her pale golden eyes shimmered with the silvery light of moonlight, so sacred and majestic.

For some reason, Mu Zhian suddenly had a feeling that if he made even the slightest mistake in his answer, the Medicine King route might be lost.

He said calmly, "Yes."

"I have already secretly been intimate with Her Highness the Princess in Yunzhou... I apologize."

Luo Tan's eyes flickered slightly, showing both surprise and relief. She said in a low voice, "I thought you would get away with it."

"The princess once said that you are her most trusted friend, so I think it's not appropriate to hide His Majesty's words."

Mu Zhian sighed softly, "I'm sorry..."

"Given the princess's charm, it's only natural that you couldn't resist... Rather, it's more accurate to say that someone who seduced you while still nominally married to her is the one in the wrong."

Luo Tan's tone suddenly turned cold, which made Mu Zhi'an's heart skip a beat.

Will these two best friends fall out because of me? If so, I'll be truly guilty...

Could it be that the legend of the nine-tailed celestial fox wreaking havoc in the imperial court is true...?

Before Mu Zhian could speak, Luo Tan said in a calm tone, "You don't need to persuade me. If those who make mistakes are not punished, everyone will make mistakes in the future."

She looked at Mu Zhian and said, "You are the same. Even though the princess seduced you first, you were still seduced by her in the end. If the Great Peng Emperor finds out about this, even I can't protect you, and the Azure Emperor will also be in the wrong."

"Close your eyes." Her tone was stern, as if at this moment she had transformed back into Empress Luo Tan, who would not tolerate any infringement on imperial power in the court.

He had thought His Majesty had summoned him tonight for a spiritual energy exchange ceremony, but it turned out to be a reprimand for his affair with the Princess in Yunzhou...

Mu Zhian sighed inwardly, looking at the empress in her magnificent white dress and her majestic gaze, and subconsciously closed his eyes.

At that moment, Luo Tan glanced casually at a corner of the bedroom.

A hint of mockery now flickered in her once dignified and beautiful eyes.

She tore off a piece of her white dress and then blindfolded Mu Zhi'an, feigning indifference as she said, "You are not allowed to untie it yourself."

After speaking, Luo Tan looked at the beautiful woman walking out from the corner, a slight smile playing on her lips. She deliberately walked behind Mu Zhi'an and asked softly:

"Are you prepared to accept punishment?"

Chapter 511 The line between being a cuckold and being cuckolded is thin

A soft, melodious, and sweet voice rang out in the bedroom, as if it were stirring Mu Zhi'an's heartstrings.

But at the same time, a big question popped into Mu Zhian's mind.

Where's the promised punishment...? Why does it feel like Luo Tan is just teasing him?

Who would punish someone by using fabric from their own dress to blindfold them?

And there wasn't a trace of coldness in his tone...

At this moment, Mu Zhian couldn't quite figure out what the Alchemy Queen was thinking.

When Luo Tan asked him earlier if he had been secretly getting close to the princess, Mu Zhi'an initially wanted to hide it.

But before that, Mu Zhian thought of something else.

When exactly did Luo Tan realize that a wisp of Yao Meng's spirit was residing in his Green Lotus Ring?

When he first arrived in Yuzhou a few days ago, Luo Tan certainly didn't notice anything, otherwise he wouldn't have waited until tonight to reveal it.

He had not had any intimate contact with Luo Tan before tonight, so Luo Tan could not have noticed the abnormality in the Green Lotus Ring on her own.

In other words, someone must have 'reminded' her.

So who could this person be?

If we were to say who among the people Luo Tan has come into contact with today is most likely to know the secret of the Azure Lotus Ring and to tell Luo Tan this secret, it seems that only the Princess Consort is the one.

In other words, Luo Tan's question tonight about whether he had been intimate with the princess was simply to confirm whether he would tell her this lie.

Mu Zhian's vision was completely black, the fabric of the white dress obscured his eyes, and even his spiritual sense was temporarily blocked. However, Mu Zhian smelled the faint fragrance emanating from the white dress of the woman beside him, and felt inexplicably relieved.

Judging from Luo Tan's tone and attitude just now, he must have made the right bet.

But then again, why does the princess tell her everything...? What happened to this being a secret between her and me?

Although he knew that the relationship between the two was much better than he had imagined, Mu Zhian still did not expect that the princess would tell Luo Tan about their intimate moments.

"I know you must be wondering what kind of punishment I'm going to give you, right?"

At this moment, Luo Tan walked around Mu Zhi'an and said with great interest, "But before that, I want to ask you a question."

"A prize for a correct answer?" Mu Zhian asked.

Luo Tan was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Of course, but since there's a reward for answering correctly, there should naturally be a punishment for answering incorrectly, right?"

"Your Majesty, why don't you tell me the problem first?" For some reason, Mu Zhian had a feeling that the other party was digging a pit for him to fall into.

Luo Tan placed her hands over Mu Zhi'an's shoulders and on the chair behind him, looking at the blindfolded boy with a smile: "Since you had intimate relations with the Princess when you were in Yunzhou... you should know what she looks like, right? Isn't she very beautiful?"

Mu Zhian hesitated for a moment, then said, "Your Highness is indeed very beautiful, but His Majesty's appearance is even more stunning and is no less than that of Your Highness."

Luo Tan was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the boy with a slight smile, finding it quite amusing.

Before she could even ask a question, Mu Zhian already knew what she wanted to ask and even preemptively shut her down...

Luo Tan was naturally unaware that Mu Zhian, a veteran of countless battles, had encountered this kind of question far too many times in the past, and thus guessed what Luo Tan wanted to ask as soon as she opened her mouth.

This kind of question is a death trap; no matter how you answer it, it's bound to be unsafe.
