It turns out, they were the main characters.

"A single enchanting flower isn't enough to move me; at most, it just creates a flirtatious atmosphere."

As Mu Zhian finished speaking, his gaze turned to the girl again: "Speaking of which, Lingxuan, would you like to...?"

Ye Lingxuan seemed to understand what Mu Zhian was thinking. Her pretty face flushed, and she glared at the boy: "I have to participate in the hunting activity later, so I can't touch these things."

Mu Zhian couldn't help but smile and casually tossed the Enchanting Fairy Flower aside.

He was just joking. After all, the hunting activity was about to begin, and he might even come to the forbidden area himself. If she saw her daughter being treated like this, who knows what she would do?

"Let's go, it's about time to head back."

Just as Mu Zhian finished speaking, he saw Ye Lingxuan bend down, pick up the Enchanting Fairy Flower that he had just thrown away, and then hand it to Mu Zhian.

The girl's elaborate and gorgeous purple dress fluttered in the breeze, her hair swaying gently in the wind, exuding an innocent and carefree charm.

She guided Mu Zhian's hand to her face, then slightly raised her head and gently pressed her rosy lips to the boy's lips.

Touch and then leave.

Her beautiful eyes were moist and dreamy as she gazed into Mu Zhi'an's eyes and said obediently, "Although the hunting activity is coming up soon, if Brother Mu likes it... Lingxuan can play with you for a bit."

Mu Zhian was taken aback for a moment, then said, "I was just joking, let's focus on business..."

He originally just wanted to tease Ye Lingxuan, but he didn't expect the girl to take it seriously.

If his future mother-in-law or father-in-law finds out later, even if Mu Zhian had nine lives, he might not be able to leave the restricted area smoothly.

"It's okay, Lingxuan will fulfill any request you make, Brother Mu."

"However, I also have a request."

Ye Lingxuan's beautiful eyes held a shy yet expectant look as she tiptoed slightly and breathed softly into the boy's ear:

"Lingxuan needs Brother Mu's personal help!"

……

Hunting in the forbidden zone is not like going out to hunt as in ordinary dynasties, but rather hunting monsters within the forbidden zone that have become incredibly powerful due to the power of the rules.

This hunting activity can usually be considered a crucial part of becoming the master of the forbidden zone.

The Grand Elder of the Forbidden Zone will use the results of this hunt to decide which faction's candidate for Lord of the Forbidden Zone to support.

At this moment, a large group of people are gathered in an open space near the outer perimeter of the restricted area. Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that these clansmen seem to be divided into six factions, and Ye Lingxuan is one of them.

Several of these people were strong contenders for the position of Lord of the Forbidden Zone. However, when Ye Lingxuan appeared, almost simultaneously, everyone present looked in the direction of the girl and began to discuss in hushed tones.

"As expected of Miss, she looks quite relaxed even though the other candidates all look so serious."

"After all, she is the person with the best chance of inheriting the position of the master of the penalty area in the history of our penalty area."

Throughout the past and present, the restricted area has held countless selections for the 'Lord of the Restricted Area', but without exception, no one has ever successfully ascended to the throne of Lord of the Restricted Area.

The reasons for failure varied, but the main reason was that in almost every hunting expedition, the candidates were almost completely wiped out.

"Is that young master Mu next to Miss?" a girl asked softly, her bright eyes curiously observing the young man.

Although the forbidden area kept the matter of Mu Zhian's innate furnace cauldron a closely guarded secret, it had spread far and wide among the clansmen. Now, almost every clansman knew about it, so when he appeared, he attracted the attention of many young girls in love.

"He's very handsome, and he and Miss are a perfect match," a member of the clan murmured.

"Indeed... but why do I feel that Miss's expression is a little off? Could it be that something went wrong during your meditation last night?"

Suddenly, a young girl hesitated, looking at Ye Lingxuan who was walking in the middle of the group with a puzzled expression. She noticed that the princess of the forbidden area had a faint blush on her pretty face, and her hair clung to her fair and delicate face, giving her an inexplicable charm.

Ye Qian clearly noticed this as well, and stepped forward to Ye Lingxuan's side, asking with concern, "Sister, are you alright?"

Was he too nervous?

But given my sister's personality, she shouldn't be nervous...

At this moment, Mu Zhian put his hand on Ye Lingxuan's shoulder and said with a smile, "She probably had some trouble while cultivating. I will take good care of your sister during this hunt, don't worry."

Ye Qian looked bewildered and confused.

Ye Lingxuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister... sister is fine."

While Ye Qian wasn't paying attention, Ye Lingxuan couldn't help but secretly rub her slender, white legs under her purple dress. Her face flushed slightly, and she glared at the boy resentfully.

At this moment, Ye Qian noticed Yao Meng smiling and waving at her from the distant sky pavilion, so she said to the two of them, "Master seems to have something to ask me, so I'm entrusting my sister to you, Brother Mu."

Mu Zhian smiled and nodded: "I will take good care of your sister."

After Ye Qian turned and headed towards the pavilion in the sky not far away, Mu Zhian secretly leaned close to the girl's ear and whispered, "Bear with it a little longer, we're about to leave. Once we're in the carriage, everything will be fine."

Ye Lingxuan rolled her eyes at the boy with a look full of disdain, lowered her head, and secretly pinched Mu Zhian's waist, silently venting her dissatisfaction and shyness.

Fortunately, at this moment, an elderly man with an air of otherworldly wisdom gracefully descended before the numerous clansmen. He stood with his hands behind his back, scanning each person before finally fixing his gaze on Mu Zhi'an for a moment, and slowly said:

"It seems everyone has arrived. This hunting event is the same as the previous candidate competition ceremony. Whoever hunts a powerful forbidden creature can exchange it with me for any rare and precious materials, or even pills and artifact spirits you desire."

"I will unconditionally support the team that ultimately wins in their bid for the title of 'King of the Penalty Area.' Do you have any further suggestions?"

The Grand Elder glanced at everyone, and seeing that no one spoke, he nodded slightly:

"Then let's set off."

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, Ye Lingxuan immediately pulled Mu Zhian into the phoenix carriage.

Only then did she feel her previously tense nerves gradually relax.

"Do you need a handkerchief?" Mu Zhian asked tentatively.

She first gently smoothed out the wrinkles on the hem of her skirt with her slender hands.

Then, she glanced at the boy seductively and softly hummed in agreement: "Yes~"

Her beautiful eyes shone with a moist and emotional light.

I almost... couldn't hold back just now.

……

Above the restricted area, a classically luxurious celestial palace floats silently.

The celestial palace was completely silent.

Because at this very moment, Gong Lianyue, Yao Meng, and the Primordial Witch are in the same space.

As Yao Meng watched the phoenix carriage carrying Mu Zhi'an head towards the outer edge of the forbidden area, she couldn't help but chuckle: "It's quite rare. Ever since I suppressed you that day, you seem to have rarely dared to appear before me."

"Now you dare to come out openly again, is it because you have the support of a second spiritual consciousness, which has given you a little confidence?"

As she finished speaking, she glanced inadvertently at the primordial witch behind her.

Or perhaps it's Wei Mengrou.

The two primordial witches' spiritual consciousnesses were already incredibly close to reaching the Ascension Realm. At least in Yao Meng's perception, Wei Mengrou at this moment indeed possessed the strength to fight against someone at the Ascension Realm.

But so what?

The gap between not having reached the Feather Transformation Realm and having already reached it is not so easy to bridge.

Gong Lianyue sat calmly to the side, watching the intense tension.

She wished the two of them would fight.

Ideally, they should fight until both are exhausted of spiritual energy, then she should tie them up and throw them into the basement of the Sword Palace, and then enjoy Mu Zhi'an by herself.

The Primordial Witch glanced at this otherworldly fairy. Behind the Azure Emperor, it seemed as if a series of illusions were emerging. The clouds and mist behind him were ethereal, and although he was right in front of her, he seemed to be standing alone in the clouds, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

However, everyone present knew very well just how cunning this seemingly holy fairy truly was.

"If I wanted to make a move against you, I wouldn't have waited until now."

The primordial witch's tone carried a strange allure: "Besides, if someone else takes advantage of our conflict, that wouldn't be good."

These words were clearly directed at Gong Lian Yue.

"Then why have you been staring at me like this since just now?" Yao Meng asked softly, her voice gentle and melodious, like heavenly music.

Not far from the celestial palace was a fishpond. At this moment, the fish were gathered near the pavilion in the sky, as if attracted by Yao Meng's celestial music, swaying their tails.

The Primordial Witch said with a smile, "I just feel that you seem to have changed a lot. If it were before, you probably would have gone to find him after he attained enlightenment."

"But this time, you actually held back for two days."

"He only recently attained enlightenment two days ago, and then went back in time three times to overcome his tribulation, which severely depleted his spiritual power. I am still mindful of my actions," Yao Meng said calmly.

"You really know how to take care of people," the Primordial Witch said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Of course, after all, I am his wife." Yao Meng tilted her head slightly and smiled.

One sentence was enough to make the primordial witch's smile fade.

Even in the past, the Primordial Witch and Mu Zhian were only Daoist partners, not husband and wife.

Therefore, whenever the Green Emperor mentioned this matter, she became more and more angry.

Although I know that Mu Zhian and Qingdi got married for other reasons... Qingdi must have had other ways to ascend to immortality at that time.

However, the Azure Emperor chose a method that killed two birds with one stone.

He got married again and then successfully ascended to heaven.

Yao Meng slightly raised her snow-white chin and smiled, "If there's nothing else, I'll go check on my husband first."

She emphasized the word "husband" a few more times.

A faint smile lingered in those emerald green eyes.

She didn't care what kind of entanglement the Primordial Witch and Mu Zhi'an had in their past lives, as long as Mu Zhi'an in this life was hers... that was enough for her.

After glancing at the Primordial Witch as if she were a defeated dog, Yao Meng was about to leave.

However, at this moment, the primordial witch's melodious voice, full of interest, suddenly rang out from the celestial palace: "You are quite confident, aren't you? Is it because you think everything is under your control?"

A rare hint of amusement flickered in Yao Meng's gentle, emerald-green eyes as she turned her head to look at her: "Otherwise what?"

The primordial witch's lips curved into an extremely beautiful smile.

She gently tossed a projection stone from her storage ring.

Then, as Yao Meng's smile gradually faded, the projection stone quietly transformed into a painting, silently presenting the image into view.

Beneath that enchanting, picturesque landscape, a hint of a smile flickered in the primordial witch's silver eyes:

"So, is this matter also under your control?"
