It turns out, they were the main characters.

He looked somewhat flustered and helpless, resembling a naive boy next door.

Lan Shih-huai looked at him quietly: "What you said is the truth, not something bad."

The two descendants I've always doted on are still unsure if they'll even become members of the Blue Clan... How exactly did those descendants manage the Blue Clan after I left?

Lan Shihuai's usually calm eyes showed a hint of anger.

Mu Zhian lowered his head slightly and said in a low voice, "This is, after all, an internal matter of the Blue Clan, and it is indeed inappropriate for an outsider like me to interfere."

Outsiders?

Lan Shihuai looked at the boy who was affectionately holding her slender waist, and at his shy and bashful expression, and couldn't help but smile, her eyes softening.

"To me, you are no longer an outsider."

"You are Fei Ying and Lian'er's Daoist partner, so you are also half a member of my Lan Clan."

This statement came from the ancestors of the Blue Clan.

She has already acknowledged Mu Zhian's identity within the Blue Clan.

Mu Zhian said with emotion, "Senior is so kind."

Then, he quickly realized something and hurriedly added, "By the way, senior, I've met with the elders of the Blue Clan. They must have had their own reasons for doing what they did back then."

"They are all very kind people. Although they made things difficult for me back then, it was out of concern for my own, and they didn't want my senior sister and Fei Ying to have any relationship with me... Please don't be angry, it would be bad if it disturbed your Dao heart."

Is it due to excessive protectiveness?

Lan Shih-huai sneered inwardly.

Being overly protective of their own, they 'drove' those two favored daughters out of the Blue Clan, and they haven't even officially returned to the Blue Clan yet?

Lan Shihuai gently stroked Mu Zhian's handsome face and said softly, "You are good in every way, but you are just too kind."

The so-called other difficulties were nothing more than internal power struggles within the clan.

Mu Zhian is too kind-hearted; he doesn't understand these things.

But that doesn't mean she doesn't understand.

"It seems I've been here too long; some people have already forgotten about me," Lan Shihuai suddenly said softly, a deeper look appearing in his eyes.

"Does Senior intend to leave the Second Ark?" Mu Zhian asked, looking up.

"Hmm... I'd like to go out for a short walk to clear my head."

Lan Shih-huai said quietly, "It's also a good opportunity to thoroughly purge the unclean things inside."

Just as Mu Zhian was about to say something more, Lan Shihuai raised his fingertip and gently pressed it against Mu Zhian's lips.

"Shhh."

dong dong.

Just then, there was a knock on the cabin door.

"Ancestor, may I come in?"

It's Lan Feiying's voice.

Chapter 578 The End of the Dao is the Path of the Ox

"Ancestor?"

After receiving no response after calling out softly, Lan Feiying called out softly again.

Lan Shihuai's red lips curved into a faint smile as she replied in a gentle tone, "Just tell me what's on your mind."

"Is it about the contents of those fragments?" Lan Shihuai casually replied, then glanced sideways at the silent boy beside him.

Her eyes were alluring.

Under Mu Zhian's astonished gaze, she gently placed her right hand under her body, her slender, jade-like fingers hooking the hem of her ice-blue skirt. Noticing the boy's direct gaze, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. Then, she placed her fingertips against the hem of her skirt and gently hooked it.

A pair of plump, slender, and alluring legs were vaguely visible in the dim light.

Ancestor, are you really going to go this far...? Mu Zhian almost couldn't hold back and directly took action to suppress it.

"...Are you not available right now?" Lan Feiying's hesitant voice came from outside.

Fei Ying was suspicious... Mu Zhi'an's heart skipped a beat, but Lan Shihuai's expression remained calm as he said, "Mu Zhi'an encountered some problems while studying the fragmented scriptures, and I am still explaining them to him."

As she finished speaking, the woman looked at him with a slightly mocking gaze.

"Is he still here?" Lan Feiying asked doubtfully.

Under Lan Shih-huai's teasing gaze, Mu Zhian forced himself to remain calm and greeted, "Sister Fei Ying, it's been a long time."

Hearing the helpless look on the boy's face when he spoke, Lan Shihuai's lips couldn't help but curl into a beautiful smile, his eyes filled with pleasure.

She certainly didn't want her descendants to know what was happening inside the house; she just wanted to tease the young man a little.

Lan Shih-huai was certain that Fei Ying wouldn't just open the door and come in, after all, they were both very polite and well-behaved children.

While talking to Lan Feiying, Mu Zhian looked at the ancestor of the Lan clan in front of him.

At this moment, the woman's eyes were full of a mocking smile. Rather than enjoying the pleasure of having an affair, it seemed more like she was teasing him.

"That's enough. You don't want to be found out, do you?" Mu Zhian reminded him telepathically.

Lan Shihuai's beautiful eyes held a faint smile as she transmitted her voice, "Feiying is a very well-behaved child and won't do anything to disobey me, so you don't need to worry... just don't panic."

"But if you tempt me like this now, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself later..."

Mu Zhi'an gazed at the aloof beauty whose body was almost pressed against his, and finally transmitted his voice to her: "So please, restrain yourself a little..."

"What will happen if they don't restrain themselves?"

Lan Shih-huai pondered Mu Zhi-an's words, scrutinized him closely for a few moments, and then, with the affection of an elder for a younger person, looked at him with a smile and said, "Are you planning to punish me?"

Mu Zhian suddenly grabbed Lan Shihuai's wrist and pressed her shoulder with his other hand, pressing her back against the door.

Fortunately, Lan Shihuai reacted quickly and used her spiritual energy to envelop her delicate body, thus preventing her from making too much noise.

However, before she could even open her mouth to question him, Mu Zhian suddenly took half a step forward. Under Lan Shihuai's momentary panicked gaze, this child, who should have been the one being teased, actually pressed his lips to Lan Shihuai's red lips.

It is both passionate and tender, and there is an unspeakable taboo... as well as excitement.

This guy is incredibly bold...?

Lan Shihuai's back was pressed against the doorway, and she could even clearly feel Fei Ying's breath almost touching hers outside the door.

It felt incredibly shameful to be intimately touched by a boy in front of future generations.

And an indescribable excitement.

For the first time, Lan Shihuai's usually calm and composed state of mind underwent a change. In fact, for the Lan clan ancestor, her feelings for Mu Zhian were at most the care and concern of an elder for a younger generation.

The reason she made that request to Mu Zhian was simply because she wanted to experience the spiritual energy of the innate furnace and use it to reunite her body.

However, at this moment, with Mu Zhian's action, Lan Shihuai felt a strange emotion.

It was a feeling of guilt, and an indescribable excitement that followed that guilt.

She was actually being suppressed by a child who was many years younger than her... and one of her most beloved descendants was right outside the door.

The warmth emanating from Mu Zhian, the spiritual energy of his innate furnace, and even the Daoist principles of the Heavenly Dao, the New Heavenly Dao, and even the Great Dao could all be clearly felt at this moment.

This child is the husband of the Azure Emperor, and also the Daoist partner of her two descendants... However, Mu Zhian is now completely infatuated with her charm, greedily demanding more from her.

If Lan Shihuai's previous request to Mu Zhian was simply for a transaction to solidify her body, then at this moment she felt a strange sense of pleasure.

That seems to be the ultimate destination that all the Dao-Merging Empresses truly reach.

The thrill of being excited, or even indulging in, the pleasure of 'NTR'ing someone else's partner.

At this moment, the ancestors of the Blue Clan seemed to have vaguely touched the threshold of the Ox Dao Realm.

"Ancestor, what's wrong...?" Lan Feiying's questioning voice suddenly rang out, because she suddenly felt that there was no movement inside the room.

Lan Shihuai glanced at the boy in front of her. After releasing her red lips, she gently exhaled a sweet breath, her voice trembling slightly: "It's nothing... It's just that young friend Mu has probably been studying too many incomplete scriptures these past few days, and his mental energy is too depleted, so he's asleep now."

She glanced at the hand resting on her slender waist and gently slapped it away.

"You should go back first. Don't wake him up yet. After this, he... um~"

The voice suddenly paused. Lan Shihuai glanced at Mu Zhian with alluring eyes, then slowly brought her red lips to his lips and whispered, "After he wakes up, I will have him come to find you."

She gently kissed Mu Zhian's lips with her cool red lips.

……

In the quiet cabin.

This was almost a secret chamber, with fragments of scriptures, jade slips, and other artifacts left behind by ancient powerful beings drifting through the void from time to time.

Apart from that, there was nothing in the cabin... just some scattered clothes.

Lan Shihua licked her lips, looked at Mu Zhian who was leaning against the table, seemingly contemplating life, and blinked her bright eyes: "I've heard that men reflect on themselves after the act. Are you already starting to regret it?"

As she spoke, she gently tied the belt around her blue dress, outlining her graceful figure, and tidied her slightly disheveled long hair.

Mu Zhi'an looked at the woman who knelt down beside him and suddenly said, "I was just wondering, did you choose me because you took a liking to my innate furnace? If you eventually solidify your physical body, will we still maintain this relationship?"

Lan Shihuai reached out and pressed Mu Zhian's head down, letting him lie on her beautiful lap. She pondered for a moment and said, "I have never had a lover or a crush in my life... My feelings for you are more like the concern that elders have for their juniors, like Lian'er and Fei Ying."

Although he had expected the woman to answer this way, Mu Zhian was still somewhat disappointed when she actually said it.

“I’ve always believed that anyone who can’t subdue me is unworthy to be my Daoist partner.”

Lan Shihuai gently stroked Mu Zhian's face with her fingertips and said softly, "But you did suppress me just now."

"Although it wasn't based on strength."

This statement is quite meaningful.

"But even now, at your Enlightenment Realm, you can barely suppress me. What will happen when you reach the Dao Integration Realm in the future—"

Lan Shih-huai leaned close to his ear and said in a soft, sweet voice, "You can do whatever you want when the time comes."

Hearing Lan Shihuai's words lingering in his ears, Mu Zhian couldn't help but fall into deep thought and emotion.

It has to be said that the several Dao Integration Realm experts he knew were much more open-minded than he had imagined.

As the ancestor of the Blue Clan, he was willing to risk his life to play fun little games with you in the cabin... How exciting!
