It turns out, they were the main characters.

"Actually, whether your parents exist in this world or not, or whether they care about you or not... you don't need to care too much."

She lowered her head slightly, brought her red lips close to the boy's ear, and whispered, "As long as I care about you, that's enough."

A sweet scent, slightly parted red lips, ambiguous breaths, and soft words.

All of this gave her a strange sense of peace, and Mu Zhian couldn't help but close her eyes slightly, feeling the fragrance emanating from under her blue dress and lingering around her nose.

After a while, Mu Zhian whispered, "Thank you."

“Words alone are not enough when expressing gratitude,” Yao Meng said with a smile.

Mu Zhian was taken aback. Wasn't this what Luo Tan had told him?

"You...you weren't eavesdropping the whole time, were you?" he asked instinctively.

"I was just worried about your safety, so I overheard that sentence through the Azure Lotus Ring," Yao Meng said seriously, gently stroking the boy's hair.

"I don't like prying into other people's private lives."

"I don't believe you!" Mu Zhian thought to himself, cursing wildly. He remembered that when Yao Meng was inside him, she had said that she needed to sleep for a while.

The results of it?

It slept in solitude.

At this moment, Yao Meng casually changed the subject, saying, "Aren't you curious about what request the Demon Queen made to me after her ascension to immortality today?"

Mu Zhian stared at her, waiting for her answer.

"She plans to gradually restore peace between the demon realm and the Eastern Continent, and then form an alliance," Yao Meng said.

Mu Zhian said, "Isn't this a good thing? If the two sides cooperate, the benefits will outweigh the drawbacks, just like Yuzhou and Yunzhou."

"Yes, the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages."

Yao Meng's eyes held a hint of amusement as she tilted her head and said softly, "However, she said that the hatred between the two sides cannot be eliminated in a short period of time, so we need to do some more things to gradually ease the tension between them."

"She made a condition for this."

“If the Demon Queen truly wants to form an alliance, the conditions she proposes shouldn’t be too unreasonable,” Mu Zhian said.

"The conditions are indeed not too excessive, at least not for most of the ancient families in the Eastern Continent," Yao Meng said calmly.

Mu Zhian became more curious: "What does she want?"

Yao Meng gazed silently at the young man and said softly, "She wants to marry you."

Mu Zhian: "?"

Chapter 524 One private seat in the small dark room!

"She wants to marry you so that the Eastern Continent and the Demon Realm can gradually coexist harmoniously."

As if thinking Mu Zhian hadn't heard her clearly, Yao Meng repeated it again.

Mu Zhian raised his hand to stop Yao Meng, saying, "Wait a minute, I know what you mean... but haven't I already been married? Is there any explicit rule in Dongzhou that remarriage is illegal?"

He paused, then continued, "And... don't you care?"

As she said this, she secretly observed the woman's expression.

The fairy in the green dress looked at him with a smile and said, "Whether I care or not is not important. What matters is what you think."

Mu Zhian gazed at her silently for a while, then said helplessly, "Of course I don't want to get married."

The reason everything was fine after the last marriage was because everyone knew he made a 'sacrifice' for Yao Meng's ascension to immortality, but this time it's different.

Could it be that for the sake of peace between the Eastern Continent and the Demon Realm, she is really going to be "married off" to the Demon Realm?

Ultimately, this wasn't about harmonious coexistence at all; it was simply something the Demon Queen orchestrated.

Yao Meng smiled with her lips pursed, moved a little closer to him, and whispered, "Actually, the Demon Queen only has this idea, but she may not actually ask the Demon Realm. I think she is just testing your thoughts this time."

"At the very least, she will wait until you have attained enlightenment before considering these things."

Many people are now waiting for the moment when Mu Zhian attains enlightenment, and Yao Meng is no exception.

However, she was more curious about whether Mu Zhian's innate furnace cauldron had no upper limit.

If that's the case, then the potential of the naturally born furnace is simply outrageous.

If one attains enlightenment, one will become a furnace for ascension to immortality. So when Mu Zhi'an merges with the Dao, wouldn't he be close to becoming an immortal furnace?

What if... they ascended to heaven?

Will the naturally formed furnace continue to evolve?

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhian breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"You really don't like marrying the Demon Queen? She's quite a beautiful woman, after all," Yao Meng asked with a smile.

Mu Zhian shrugged: "As far as the people of Kyushu are concerned, I've already been married before. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to get married again, would it?"

Of course, that's not the point. The point is that if the other fish in the pond found out about this, Mu Zhian felt he might have to say goodbye to his life prematurely.

"You seem to have matured a lot more than before, and you've grown taller too? I don't think I can keep up with your height if I go barefoot now."

Yao Meng pulled Mu Zhi'an up by the hand, and then compared the two, it seemed that she could only touch his forehead.

Mu Zhian gazed at her silently. Her face was ethereal and beautiful, with exquisite features. Her emerald green eyes seemed to hold a hint of playfulness, and her cherry lips were painted with vibrant rouge, making them alluring.

Clearly, the fairy was just teasing him on purpose.

"But if I wear shoes, it seems like I'll be the same height as you?"

Yao Meng sized up the boy, her eyes crinkling with amusement, and said, "Judging from your previous experiences, you seem to have a particular fondness for long boots? Why don't you try them on next time? When we get back to Yaochi..."

Mu Zhian suddenly lowered his head and captured Yao Meng's red lips, reaching out to brush her waist and pulling her close through her clothes.

Ever since Mu Zhian first became intimate with Yao Meng, the woman seemed to gradually awaken, and even became more and more aroused... This arousal was not superficial, but always unintentionally aroused Mu Zhian's desire.

Yao Meng glanced lazily at the boy and transmitted her voice, "Qian'er will be coming to ask me about cultivation methods later, so don't tear your skirt."

However, the more she said this, the more moved Mu Zhian became, and he felt the soft warmth of the woman's red lips in his arms with even more passion.

Until finally, Yao Meng's voice gradually became ethereal, and her delicate body softened in his arms.

She gently placed her hand on Mu Zhian's shoulder, a hint of pleasure in her eyes.

This feeling is really nice. In the eyes of the world, Fairy Yao Meng should be pure and flawless, but in Mu Zhian's eyes, she is simply a woman... or rather, for Mu Zhian, who is a pervert, there is no respect for the Human Emperor.

What Yao Meng wanted was Mu Zhian's attitude.

The warm candlelight flickered, and Mu Zhi'an suddenly realized that the chaotic spiritual energy he had experienced when he first advanced to the peak of the Returning to the Void Realm was gradually stabilizing. He looked at the woman before him in astonishment, only to see her gazing at him with a slight smile, her red lips parting slightly:

"Do you really think that being born with a Dao embryo can only cultivate your cultivation techniques and can't do anything else?"

Mu Zhian sighed softly, "I always feel like I owe you so much."

Through Luo Tan's innate furnace, Mu Zhi'an directly skipped a realm and successfully entered the peak of the Returning to Emptiness realm.

However, this is not without its drawbacks. Because of the lack of accumulation, the spiritual energy will be more or less disordered. This disorder can gradually stabilize with his future cultivation, but it will still take some time.

At this moment, Yao Meng was taking advantage of the opportunity of dual cultivation to help Mu Zhi'an stabilize the disordered spiritual energy.

No wonder so many cultivators in the Nine Provinces once pursued the Holy Maiden of Yaochi. Becoming her Daoist partner meant gaining access to a first-grade cultivation technique, and she could also help stabilize one's spiritual energy during cultivation.

Most importantly, the Holy Maidens of Yaochi are all very beautiful.

Although Mu Zhian had hoped from the beginning to live a life of ease and comfort while being a kept man, he still felt somewhat embarrassed at this moment.

"Actually, you don't need to feel guilty. Compared to what I did to help you, what you gave me was much more."

Yao Meng gazed into the boy's eyes with a smile, then wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and gently pressed him down, burying his face in her chest.

Then, the woman gently pressed her bright red lips close to the boy's ear and whispered:

"If you truly feel guilty, then make it up to me now without reservation~"

"I've prepared a surprise for you tonight, you know?" she said softly again.

"What surprise?" Mu Zhian asked subconsciously, with a feeling that it wasn't anything good.

Yao Meng remained silent, only watching him quietly with a mysterious smile on her face.

……

Ye Qian slowly opened her eyes, returning to reality from the state of absorbing spiritual energy.

The girl wore a loose white undergarment, her disheveled sideburns falling on her pure, oval face, with a high, straight nose. At first glance, she seemed to possess a charming quality that shouldn't be present at her age.

From this perspective, she seems to be very suited to the meditation path practiced at the Yaochi Holy Land, which makes the already pure girl even more holy.

Ye Qian gently lifted the sheet and got out of bed. Her well-developed figure was hidden under her loose white undershirt, but you could still feel her breathtakingly sexy body.

However, she herself did not seem to notice, and after changing into a light blue silk dress, she left the room.

Yesterday, my master said he would go to see her tonight, as she seemed to have something important to say.

Actually, if her master hadn't spoken up, the girl had originally planned to ask her older sister to let her secretly go to the bedroom to see Brother Mu.

After all, according to her older sister, Brother Mu was imprisoned because he was falsely accused, so he couldn't leave her room at will, lest people see him and gossip.

But now... since I have to go see my master, I can only wait until tomorrow to go see Brother Mu.

The girl walked briskly along a path in a familiar direction.

As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she sensed that something was amiss.

The fallen leaves in the yard were frozen in mid-air, the wind was still, and time seemed to have stopped, so quiet that there was not a sound.

The girl murmured to herself, "The principle of time?"

She knew that her master now had complete control over the principles of time and could freeze time at any time.

As for why she wasn't affected, it's probably because her master knew she would come tonight, so he gave her special treatment.

As the girl was thinking about this, her gaze quickly fell on the brightly lit room not far away.

Just as she was about to approach, she suddenly heard a sweet, cloying voice coming from inside the room.

Ye Qian abruptly stopped in her tracks, staring hesitantly at the closed room.

That voice just now... it sounded like Master?

What is Master doing...?
