It turns out, they were the main characters.

The Reincarnated Empress handed the 'Flower of the Great Dao' to Mu Zhi'an: "This flower is a 'shell' that the Flower of the Great Dao shed during its evolution. It would be more accurate to call it the Enlightenment Flower rather than the Flower of the Great Dao."

"So, the forbidden zone has never had the Flower of the Great Dao?" Mu Zhian was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this news, but soon after, he sensed the aura of the 'Great Dao' within this flower.

Without a doubt, this is also a flower of the Great Dao, and it can influence the Great Dao itself.

However, it is not a real elixir, but rather the empty shell that has fallen off a elixir.

"Who gave you this Enlightenment Flower?" Mu Zhian couldn't help but ask.

“An ancient creature from the forbidden land of the Eastern Continent,” the Reincarnated Empress said.

Mu Zhian asked in surprise, "An ancient creature from the Forbidden Land? Why would it give you the Enlightenment Flower?"

After spending these past few days with the Princess and Luo Tan, Mu Zhi'an has realized something important—the ancient creatures of the Forbidden Land once attempted to completely cover the Nine Provinces with the rules of the Forbidden Land, and at that time, most of the Nine Provinces were even the Forbidden Land.

However, a great war later broke out in Kyushu, and someone intervened to suppress the nine taboos.

Logically, they should be enemies, but instead they took the initiative to hand over the Enlightenment Flower to the Reincarnated Empress?

"When I encountered some trouble during my Dao Integration, it gave me the Enlightenment Flower in order to save me."

The Reincarnated Queen said, "And according to it, it was actually just acting on someone's orders."

"As for who that person is, I'm not quite sure either," the Reincarnated Empress said.

"In any case, if the Spirit Dragon wants to comprehend the Great Dao with the help of the Enlightenment Flower, the success rate is extremely high."

"After all, the spirit dragon is a creation favored by the Great Dao. If the Great Dao realizes that it is a spirit dragon, it will not refuse."

The Reincarnated Empress continued.

"Are you sure it's okay for you to entrust something so important to me?" Mu Zhian hesitated for a moment.

Although he enjoys getting something for nothing, his relationship with the Reincarnated Empress isn't particularly close, so he's a little uneasy about taking this quasi-immortal herb.

The Reincarnated Empress said calmly, "No problem. In the end, the Enlightenment Flower is no longer of any use to me."

Before Mu Zhian could thank her, she changed the subject: "But if you want this Enlightenment Flower, you'll need to do me a favor."

"Tell me what you want me to do first?" Mu Zhian was already quite wary of this aloof and elegant woman.

The other party looked like an innocent little white rabbit, but he never expected that the heart of the Reincarnated Queen was black when it was cut open. She had just tricked him, using the Enlightenment Flower to turn his words into a 'vow'.

Fortunately, he was quick-witted; otherwise, he might have really had a headache.

"I bet you, Miss, that you'll be captivated by my charm, so could you cooperate later?" the Reincarnated Empress asked.

"How can we cooperate?" Mu Zhian asked, puzzled.

A beautiful smile returned to the woman's face, and she said softly, "Just listen to me when I speak."

The master is still in the council of elders, and it's likely that she won't be able to resist spying on them through the Lock of Time in a little while. When the master uses the Lock of Time, she will naturally be able to detect it.

If her master sees her 'achievements' tonight, she will have won the bet.

"What do I need to do?" Mu Zhian asked.

"It's very simple—"

As the Reincarnated Empress finished speaking, her eyes suddenly flickered slightly, glancing unintentionally in a certain direction.

Immediately afterwards, a faint smile unconsciously curved the corners of the woman's lips, and she looked at Mu Zhian, saying:

"Close your eyes."

Mu Zhian hesitated at first, then noticed that the Reincarnation Queen was looking at the Enlightenment Flower, as if to say: Please cooperate, you don't want to lose the Enlightenment Flower, do you?

He eventually closed his eyes.

“Raise your head.”

Her cool voice carried a hint of allure, followed quickly by the scent of her breath and a subtle fragrance.

Mu Zhian seemed to already know what she was planning to do. He gave her a strange look, silently put the Enlightenment Flower into his storage ring, and then looked up.

The woman nodded contentedly, then glanced casually in a certain direction, her eyes seeming to say: Master, see, I was right.

Today I'll show you what it means to get Mu Zhi'an overnight!

Chapter 521 Lingxuan is at a huge loss

The Lock of Desolate Time condensed into a bronze mirror and landed in Ye Lingxuan's hand. The final image was frozen on the scene of Mu Zhian slightly raising his head and closing his eyes.

This gives the impression that a wife is forced to submit to blond-haired men in order to get her husband promoted...

Click.

Looking at the scene before her, Ye Lingxuan couldn't help but tighten her grip on the bronze mirror, causing a crack to appear on the surface. Then, countless cracks echoed throughout the silent council chamber.

The elders were still in shock, after all, none of them had expected that the Medicine King of Yuzhou would come to the forbidden area to see Mu Zhian.

What was that sound?

Just then, an elder heard a faint sound coming from the hall. He immediately looked up and around, his eyes filled with doubt.

"The sound I heard just now seemed to be coming from Miss's place..." someone said.

The elders looked at the girl with suspicion, but Ye Lingxuan maintained her elegant smile: "Perhaps the elders misheard."

Seeing the doubts on their faces, Ye Lingxuan continued, "If there's nothing else, let's end the meeting here for today... I have other things to take care of."

If we had gone back any later, Brother Mu might have really turned into the form of a reincarnated empress...

What kind of mess is this? Did she betray her past life and cheat on her in this one?!

Ye Lingxuan felt a little unwell when she thought about this.

However, just as Ye Lingxuan got up to leave the Elders' Council, she suddenly caught a faint sense of presence outside the council.

Ye Lingxuan's spiritual sense immediately swept over the person outside the hall, and she already understood.

Under normal circumstances, cultivators cannot casually use their spiritual sense to scan powerful Dao-merging beings, because in most cases they will suffer backlash, or even die suddenly.

But Ye Lingxuan is not in this category. Her body and spirit have been tempered through nine lifetimes, making her far beyond ordinary people.

She got up and walked out of the hall, where she saw a woman being led outside by a servant.

Her gorgeous white dress accentuated her sexy and toned figure. Her long hair was tied up with an extravagant jade hairpin, and a fiery red spirit stone pendant adorned the center of her full and firm breasts. Her elegant posture and captivating curves made her look at Ye Lingxuan with a beaming smile.

The King of Medicine!

The elders almost immediately realized what was happening and raised their hands in a gesture of respect, saying, "Greetings, Senior Medicine Emperor."

Luo Tan was already used to this kind of scene. Her gaze swept over the elders, then landed on Ye Lingxuan, and she smiled:

“Miss Ye, you should still remember me, right? I once wanted to take you as my disciple and have you come with me to Yuzhou to receive the inheritance of alchemy.”

Several elders were slightly moved, never expecting that the Medicine Emperor had once considered taking the young lady as his disciple. It should be known that the Empress of Yuzhou was extremely picky about talent.

This is enough to prove that they didn't bet on the wrong thing, and supporting Miss was the right choice.

Ye Lingxuan maintained her reserved smile: "How could Lingxuan forget the name of Senior Luo? It's just a pity that I haven't been able to get away because of the forbidden area, otherwise I would really like to ask you for advice on alchemy techniques."

By the way, is there any elixir that can hold a man's heart...?

"I'm so sorry I didn't know Senior Luo was visiting the forbidden area today. Lingxuan, would you like to take me to a guest room for the night?" Ye Lingxuan continued.

Luo Tan shook his head slightly and said, "I still have things to take care of in Yuzhou tomorrow. I'm just here to handle some matters and then I have to go back."

She paused, then continued, "Due to the restrictions of the restricted area, I cannot use my spiritual sense to search here, so I can only trouble Miss Ye to tell you where young friend Mu is now."

"Miss Ye shouldn't mind, right?"

As she finished speaking, a slight smile appeared on her face.

Clearly, Luo Tan only knew that the Azure Emperor sent Mu Zhi'an to Yuzhou in order to help him attain enlightenment as soon as possible, and personally pushed him into her arms.

But Luo Tan was unaware that Ye Lingxuan also knew about this.

At this moment, the drug king was still immersed in the pleasure and excitement brought by 'NTR'.

Even the Empress of Yuzhou did not expect that not only the Azure Emperor, but also Ye Lingxuan knew what Mu Zhian had done in Yuzhou.

Looking at the stunningly beautiful empress before her, Ye Lingxuan pondered briefly before quickly revealing a sweet and innocent smile: "Of course, I will send someone to take you to see Brother Mu right now."

She was originally worried about what would happen if she had actually won over Brother Mu in her past life.

But upon seeing Luo Tan, a perfect plan quietly sprouted in the girl's heart...

……

the other side.

"It seems that Miss has unlocked the original surveillance of the Lock of Wasteland."

After realizing that Ye Lingxuan had put away the Lock of Desolation, the Reincarnated Empress took a half step back, gracefully turned around, and sat down at the table next to her.

Looking at her slender figure, Mu Zhian asked in confusion, "Speaking of which, why did you make this kind of bet with her? Winning or losing doesn't affect you at all, does it?"

The Reincarnated Empress nodded slightly: "She is my master. In truth, there is no benefit in defeating her, either emotionally or logically."

"Then why do you still want to win?"

The Reincarnated Empress shook her head: "I'm not quite sure either... Maybe it's because she wants to see what kind of expression her proud master will make after losing the bet to me?"

Mu Zhian remained silent.

I never imagined that someone with thick eyebrows and big eyes like you, who usually doesn't talk much, would have so many wicked tastes hidden inside...

The woman turned to look at Mu Zhi'an, as if she knew what he was thinking. A faint smile appeared on her lips as she said, "Since you have something to do later, I won't bother you any longer. I hope you won't reveal what happened tonight."

Mu Zhian thought for a moment and said, "I don't have anything to do in a while. I don't mind if you want to stay and sit for a while."

He also wanted to know more about what Lingxuan's past life was like.

However, the reincarnated empress ignored her and got up to leave.

"It feels like I got ripped off..."

Mu Zhian muttered to himself silently. He had been teased by this woman so many times tonight, leaving him feeling completely awkward, and yet she just left like that?
