It turns out, they were the main characters.

So they look like a couple... I never noticed before.

The old men all sighed inwardly.

I really don't know what's so great about Mu Zhian that makes my young lady so fond of him. Anyone who doesn't know better would think he's a powerful expert in the Dao Integration Realm.

But since Ye Lingxuan cares so much about Mu Zhian, they naturally couldn't offer her any more advice.

It would be simpler to let Mu Zhian give up on his own than to target Ye Lingxuan.

The elderly men exchanged glances, seemingly having made up their minds to speak with Mu Zhian privately afterward.

At that moment, a secret agent hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in.

"Didn't you see the meeting isn't over yet?" an elder asked, frowning.

The spy knelt on one knee, panting, seemingly still suppressing his excitement. After a while, he calmed down and said urgently, "Elder, the Empress of Yuzhou is requesting an audience outside the forbidden area."

"The Medicine King?!"

Several elders stood up one after another. The Fourth Elder immediately reacted and said first, "Send someone to welcome the Medicine Emperor... No, have someone wait, I will go myself."

The Fourth Elder is mainly responsible for establishing diplomatic relations with the outside world, but since the restricted area has always been closed, he doesn't usually have to do anything.

Even when necessary, they always delegate the task to their subordinates.

But the Medicine King is different; he's a near-immortal-level alchemist!

This identity alone is enough to make everyone in Kyushu want to befriend him.

“Ahem… Fourth Brother, you already work hard enough in your cultivation every day. You don’t need to do this little thing yourself. Let me go for you.”

At this moment, an elderly man with a white beard coughed lightly and got up to leave.

"Get out! Establishing diplomatic relations with outsiders is my duty. Are you trying to overstep your bounds?"

The Fourth Elder glared at the old man who had spoken, clearly annoyed.

Then, he glanced at the group of elderly men and saw that each of them had some envy or jealousy on their faces. Satisfied, he cupped his hands in greeting and said with a smile, "Gentlemen, I'll take my leave now."

If I can take this opportunity to befriend the Medicine Queen, I might be able to ask her to help me refine elixirs to extend my lifespan in the future.

For cultivators, lifespan is the key to limitless possibilities, and low-grade pills that extend lifespan become less and less effective over time.

At their age, only high-grade elixirs can extend their lifespan.

At this point, the advantages of those high-level alchemists are perfectly demonstrated.

The Fourth Elder would naturally not give up the opportunity to befriend the Medicine King to anyone else.

However, just as the Fourth Elder stood up, the spy hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Elder, the Medicine Emperor said there's no need for special hospitality. She came to the forbidden area to see someone, and she will naturally meet with her old friend after this."

"Meet someone? Have you asked who it is?" the Fourth Elder asked, frowning.

The spy glanced at the old monsters and hesitated before saying, "Mu Zhian."

A deathly silence fell over the council chamber.

The Fourth Elder's eyes showed a hint of astonishment.

After what seemed like an eternity, someone broke the silence, looking bewildered: "When did the Medicine King of Yuzhou get involved with Mu Zhian?"

Among the Nine Provinces, Yu Province holds the most special position because it has too many alchemists, and the Empress of Yu Province is even closer to being a Celestial-grade alchemist.

Not to mention the elders, even the Dao Integration experts from the major powers of the Nine Provinces were very willing to befriend this alchemy empress.

But now the other party has come to the restricted area on purpose, just for Mu Zhi'an?

Ye Lingxuan silently looked at the group of silent old men without saying a word.

Only she knows what really happened.

It's likely that Luo Tan has already refined the Nine Cauldrons Refining Void Pill, so he personally delivered it to Mu Zhi'an.

If they knew that the Empress of Yuzhou had recently offered her innate physical body to Mu Zhi'an without reservation, I wonder what they would think...

A faint smile involuntarily curved her lips.

For some reason, even though it should have been a time of jealousy, Ye Lingxuan felt a strange sense of anticipation when she thought about the expressions of the elders after they found out about that matter.

I wonder how Brother Mu is doing...

The girl glanced casually at the bronze mirror under the table and the image reflected in it.

As if she had seen something, for a moment, Ye Lingxuan's smile froze, and her gaze suddenly hardened.

……

Fifteen minutes ago.

After the spiritual energy circulated through his body for a full cycle, Mu Zhian's aura became even more stable.

He opened his eyes from his meditative state.

Because they noticed that there was another person standing quietly to the side inside the room.

He looked in the direction of the aura and saw that not far from the bed, the emotionless mature woman was standing quietly to the side, wearing a dark and simple waist-cinching long dress, with a ribbon outlining her slender waist and full and firm breasts.

That figure is amazing, wow...

She was clearly Lingxuan's past life, so why was her chest more developed than Lingxuan's? Mu Zhian subconsciously glanced at her a few more times and couldn't help but think to himself.

"The master hasn't fully developed yet. In each of her nine previous lives, her breasts were very well developed after she reached adulthood," the cold and beautiful woman said in a completely emotionless tone.

Mu Zhian was taken aback: "You can read minds?"

"I only roughly guessed what you were thinking," the Reincarnated Empress said calmly.

She looked like an emotionless robot, but it turned out she actually had self-awareness...

"Why are you here?" Mu Zhian asked. "Aren't you supposed to be staying by Lingxuan's side?"

"My master won't be in danger while in the forbidden zone. She was worried about you, so she asked me to stay and protect you," the Reincarnated Empress explained.

Most of the rules in the restricted area are invalid for members of the restricted area tribe; the higher the level, the more invalid rules there are.

As the 'reborn' in this life, Ye Lingxuan is naturally completely exempt from the rules of the forbidden zone.

On the contrary, Mu Zhian is in some danger.

Of course, these are just random excuses; the real reason is a bet between her and a certain owner.

Mu Zhian nodded thoughtfully.

"Is Lingxuan doing well in the forbidden area?" he asked.

The Reincarnated Empress nodded gently: "That's good."

At first, some people in the forbidden zone did make things difficult for the Holy Maiden of the forbidden zone, hoping that their offspring would inherit the position of the Lord of the forbidden zone. However, they all eventually succumbed to Ye Lingxuan's charm.

In the current restricted area, there is nothing that causes Ye Lingxuan too much trouble.

But then she quickly remembered Ye Lingxuan's previous instructions and added, "But it's not particularly good."

"Okay, but not particularly good?" Mu Zhian frowned, puzzled. "Isn't Lingxuan's father the Lord of the Forbidden Zone? Is there anyone in the Forbidden Zone who would make things difficult for her?"

The Reincarnated Empress hesitated: "The Lord of the Forbidden Zone won't help his daughter too much, after all, they are all his people. At least, she needs to fight for the position of Lord of the Forbidden Zone herself."

Mu Zhian muttered to himself, "So, is it true that she encountered some trouble?"

At first, he was a little skeptical about the truth of Ye Lingxuan's trouble, but since even this aloof and elegant lady said so, she must be telling the truth.

After all, this woman who had always been by Ye Lingxuan's side would never stoop to lying.

The Reincarnated Empress nodded: "She needs your help."

Mu Zhian nodded slightly: "I will do my best to help her reach that position."

Mu Zhian has a dream.

He hoped that even without working hard, he could live a leisurely and comfortable life every day, chatting with rich and powerful women and living off them with dignity.

This dream has now been largely realized.

Imagine the future, when all the fish in the pond have grown into great white sharks, then he can live a life similar to that.

The only problem now is that the girls around him seem to be at risk of turning evil, so he has to improve his strength a bit, lest he be locked in a dark room one day and can only watch helplessly as they discuss breaking up and splitting up without being able to resist...

Therefore, he still needs to resolve a few more issues...

For example, helping the spirit dragon ascend to immortality sooner.

"I heard from Lingxuan that you have memories of your past eight lives?" Mu Zhian suddenly asked, his gaze lingering for a moment on the cold and beautiful woman's porcelain-like face before quickly moving down from her full and firm breasts to her long, snow-white legs, before looking away.

"Are you asking if I know the whereabouts of the Flower of the Great Dao?" the aloof and elegant woman asked in a calm tone.

Mu Zhian was silent for a moment: "So you really do know how to read minds, don't you?"

This is the second time this woman has guessed what he's planning to do.

"I don't know mind reading, it's just that you're easy to guess." The Reincarnated Empress sized up Mu Zhi'an for a moment, then continued:

"I know where the Flower of the Great Way is hidden."

Mu Zhian suppressed his excitement, staring at the woman, waiting for her to continue.

However, the other party did not reply for a long time.

"Where exactly is the Flower of the Great Dao?" Mu Zhian finally couldn't help but ask.

The corners of the Reincarnated Empress's mouth curved into a barely perceptible smile.

My curiosity has been piqued; now it's time to set conditions...

The woman recalled the contents of the book on "The Art of Managing a Husband," then, after slightly gathering her emotions, a bright smile suddenly broke through the ice on her cold and beautiful face:

"I can tell you where the Flower of the Great Dao is hidden."

"However, I have one condition."

In the bedchamber, candlelight illuminated the dim room, and a cracked window let in fresh air for the boudoir.

The Reincarnated Empress wore a bright, radiant smile on her exquisitely beautiful face. She stood gracefully with her long legs crossed, her robes enveloping her sexy, delicate body.

She gazed at Mu Zhi'an with a captivating smile.
