It turns out, they were the main characters.

At this moment, the Reincarnated Empress suddenly stopped. She hesitated for a moment and asked, "What exactly does it feel like to kiss, which you were talking about earlier?"

Mu Zhian was taken aback, then couldn't help but laugh and said, "Haven't you read a lot of books? Isn't it written in those books?"

“That’s different. In the end, theory is just theory. People who have actually experienced kissing are more accurate in their words,” the woman said.

Mu Zhian thought for a moment and smiled, "Kissing doesn't feel like much, but if the person is someone you like, even the slightest bit of intimate contact can make you very happy."

"A lover?" The reincarnated empress looked thoughtful.

If she also had someone she liked, would she be overjoyed at the slightest intimate contact with her lover, just as Mu Zhian said?

“Generally speaking, the intimate things we do are determined by the level of intimacy; the higher the intimacy, the more intimate things we do,” Mu Zhian explained.

The Reincarnated Empress nodded slightly: "I understand that. At first, you and your master were just kissing, but later you started doing all sorts of things... However, I still don't understand why you like Miss's feet, and why you even told her not to take off her white socks before..."

Although the book "The Art of Managing a Husband" states that men have countless sexual desires, she still couldn't understand why Mu Zhian preferred feet.

Mu Zhian almost stopped in his tracks, coughed twice, and said, "This matter involves some unknown secrets. I'll tell you about them slowly when we have time later."

He quickly changed the subject, saying, "Instead of that, if you want to know what kissing feels like, why don't you just experience it for yourself?"

The reincarnated empress paused for a moment, as if she had just realized what was happening. She glanced at him, then turned and quickly disappeared into her boudoir.

Although she usually acts very cold, she unexpectedly has a bit of a girlish mentality... Mu Zhian couldn't help but smile as she watched this scene.

He took out the translucent Enlightenment Flower from his storage ring.

A rich glow emanated from the flower's core, filling the entire room with spiritual energy.

Because he had previously entered and exited the Great Dao, Mu Zhian could clearly sense that this aura was indeed the Great Dao.

Through it, perhaps Ling'er can successfully guide the Great Dao and then ascend to immortality.

Just as he was thinking of this, Mu Zhian suddenly caught a faint sense of familiarity outside the boudoir.

He got up and left the boudoir, following the direction of that aura out of the bedroom.

Luo Tan sat on the high wall outside the bedchamber, her exquisitely beautiful white dress radiant even in the darkness. Mu Zhi'an looked up and saw the woman's pale golden eyes, which seemed to be smiling but weren't.

"I hope I didn't disturb your good time by coming to see you so late at night?"

Mu Zhian asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, what brings you to the forbidden area?"

Although this is only a clone of Luo Tan, it has at least inherited one-third of her strength. If it is injured in the restricted area due to triggering certain rules, Luo Tan's main body will also be injured.

Luo Tan swayed her beautiful legs beneath her white dress, her tall figure possessing captivating curves. She rolled her eyes at Mu Zhi'an and said, "Who do you think I came to the forbidden zone for?"

"for you."

She took out a small, exquisitely crafted jade box from her bosom and threw it out into the air.

Mu Zhian caught it with his hand, and without even opening it, he already knew what was inside the jade box.

"Have you successfully refined the Nine Cauldrons Refining Void Pill?" Mu Zhi'an asked.

"Open it and see if you're satisfied?" Luo Tan asked with a smile.

The moment Mu Zhian opened the jade box, a rich medicinal fragrance filled the entire courtyard. Faintly, it seemed as if a rosy glow illuminated the night, and wispy clouds of smoke emanated from the pills, rich yet fragrant.

Nine Cauldrons Refining the Void Elixir!

I didn't expect her to refine it so quickly. Originally, according to Mu Zhian's plan, it should have taken at least three days.

It seems that she hasn't done much else these past two days because she's been focused on refining this pill.

Thinking of this, Mu Zhian's eyes showed a hint of sincere gratitude, and he said, "Thank you."

"I traveled all the way from Yuzhou to the forbidden area, even putting aside my memorials for tomorrow's morning court session, just to hear you say thank you?" Luo Tan rolled her eyes and said somewhat irritably.

She floated down from the high wall, hands behind her back, wearing white boots, and walked step by step to the boy. She raised her eyes with a playful look and said, "In the past, I often told my subjects that gratitude is not expressed with words, but with actions."

Mu Zhian shrugged: "Your Majesty has everything I have. You also have no shortage of pills, spirit stones, and the like. What else can I do besides thank you?"

“I don’t have everything either, but there’s one precious thing that only you possess,” Luo Tan said with a faint smile.

"What is it?" Mu Zhian asked hesitantly.

"You."

Luo Tan chuckled softly, then gently tugged at Mu Zhi'an's collar. At the same time, she took a half-step forward, her red lips parting slightly as her sweet breath brushed against Mu Zhi'an's face, accompanied by a captivating voice: "I have everything, but I don't have you."

"..."

Mu Zhian fell silent.

He never imagined that he would one day be the one being flirted with.

At this moment, Luo Tan gazed into the boy's eyes, her beautiful face gradually approaching Mu Zhi'an, her alluring red lips seemingly almost touching his.

Mu Zhian immediately realized what was happening, gently pressing Luo Tan's shoulder and whispering, "This is Ling Xuan's boudoir, let's wait until we return to Yuzhou—"

Before she could finish speaking, Luo Tan gently kissed the boy's lips, slowly opened her moist, beautiful eyes, and softly said in a telepathic voice, "She sent someone to bring me to see you tonight."

Ye Lingxuan's initial goal was to use one enemy to devour another, while she was the one who guided everything from behind the scenes and enjoyed the final spoils.

However, even Ye Lingxuan probably didn't expect that the Reincarnated Empress was just putting on an acting show tonight, and that she would leave after finishing her performance.

The conflict between the Medicine King and the Reincarnated Empress that she had anticipated did not occur.

Now, only Mu Zhi'an remains in the bedchamber...

"Lingxuan brought you here...?"

Even Mu Zhian was taken aback.

He knew that Luo Tan wouldn't lie like that.

In other words, it really was Ye Lingxuan who brought Luo Tan to see him...

Could it be that Lingxuan has some strange hobby? Otherwise, why would she send someone to lure Luotan to her boudoir so late at night...?

Luo Tan gently released her slender hand from Mu Zhi'an's and smiled, "Perhaps it's because the princess of the forbidden zone knows that I have the Nine Cauldrons Refining Pill and hopes that you can achieve enlightenment as soon as possible, that's why she sent someone to bring me to see you."

As she said this, she seemed to guess what Mu Zhian was about to say, so she put a finger to her red lips and shushed him: "Shh, you should know what the consequences would be if your sister Lingxuan found us being intimate here, right?"

Mu Zhian fell silent for a moment.

This dialogue sounds incredibly NTR-esque...

"Your Majesty, what exactly do you want?" Mu Zhian asked.

Luo Tan smiled gently, nestling her voluptuous and beautiful body against his chest, and whispering sweetly in the young man's ear, "I just missed you, is that not allowed?"

Moist eyes, an exquisitely beautiful face so close to mine, and the alluring aura emanating from her red lips as they opened and closed.

Mu Zhi'an gazed at the woman's stunning face, feeling the softness of her body and her unique fragrance. His hand hovered in mid-air for a moment before finally resting on her full, supple waist, and then he pulled her close.

"Hmm~"

The Empress of Yuzhou narrowed her eyes, a pleased smile appearing on her face.

She gently stroked the boy's face, and then her clear, sweet voice drifted from the courtyard outside the boudoir:

"It's fine right here, isn't it?"

Chapter 522 Marrying Mu Zhi'an, Mu Zhi'an's Marriage to the Demon Realm? 6K

That night, Luo Tan leaned against the soft bed, leisurely combing the boy's hair.

"After reaching the peak of the Void Returning Realm, both your energy and your physical strength are much stronger than before."

Luo Tan's tone was languid as he looked at the boy with amusement, and continued, "By the way, the first time you perform a spiritual energy exchange ritual with the innate furnace, you will receive a large amount of spiritual energy, and there will be the same effect afterward, just not as exaggerated as at the beginning."

"In other words, we can continue to complement each other from now on."

Mu Zhian came to his senses and laughed, "It feels too unreal. How could the Heavenly Dao allow two naturally born furnaces to exploit each other's bugs like this?"

Luo Tan smiled and said, "In the past, no one in the Nine Provinces ever thought that I would cultivate with anyone. Even the Heavenly Dao could not predict the future or guess who I would ultimately choose."

Mu Zhian remained silent.

That's true. Not to mention the Heavenly Dao, he didn't even expect Luo Tan to make this suggestion at first.

It's not that Mu Zhian hadn't considered the operation of 'mutual credit boosting of spiritual energy,' but even if there were other naturally born furnace bodies in the Nine Provinces, none could achieve the same effect as Luo Tan.

After all, she was the only innate furnace cauldron in the Dao Integration Realm. If she were replaced with a lower-level innate furnace cauldron, it simply wouldn't have such a good effect.

As for someone like Luo Tan, no one can force her to do anything unless she wants to.

"Huh? You have other lovers in the restricted area?"

Just then, Luo Tan suddenly noticed something and turned his head to look outside the hall in confusion.

Mu Zhian was also taken aback for a moment.

I have so many little lovers, which one are you talking about...?

"Young Master Mu, are you alright?"

At this moment, a sound came from outside the boudoir, which made Mu Zhian realize the identity of the person who came.

“Lin Keyu, she is the daughter of the Xuan Yin Palace Master. It seems that she came to the forbidden area alone to complete the Xuan Yin Palace’s assessment task,” Mu Zhian explained telepathically.

Then, he looked up and said, "Miss Lin, what brings you here so late?"

Luo Tan looked at the boy with great interest, noticing that he seemed to be about to get out of bed, but suddenly a hand grabbed his arm, preventing him from letting go.

Are all the XPs of you Dao Integration Realm cultivators this weird...? Maybe we should just call it the Ox Dao Realm from now on.

Mu Zhian naturally knew what Luo Tan was thinking at the moment, nothing more than provocative thoughts like immorality.

He was speechless for a moment, then gently pinched Luo Tan's soft waist.

"Hmm~"

The Empress of Yuzhou instinctively covered her mouth, almost making a sound, and immediately glared at the boy.

He intended to tease the other person, but unexpectedly, he was the one being teased instead.

Even she didn't want too many people to realize her relationship with Mu Zhian so quickly.

Firstly, this would lack the pleasure of a secret affair, and secondly... she is, after all, the Empress of Yuzhou. If word got out that she had secretly become involved with the Green Emperor's Daoist partner, it would be a loss of face.

"Not long ago, the princess of the forbidden area sent someone to tell you that you were alright, but I was still a little worried, so I came to check on you. But it seems that Young Master Mu is indeed alright now," Lin Keyu said softly, her voice tinged with a hint of fragility.

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Lin. I am indeed fine now. Did the Imperial Guards make things difficult for you back then?"
