Chapter 602: Chapter 602

Mu Zhian was relieved that the once stubborn and inflexible Miss Heavenly Dao had finally learned to be adaptable and become more human. Content orıginally comes from novel[f]ire.net

Of course, this humanization was built on the foundation of sacrificing him…

Yao Meng only had to say something along the lines of ‘Surrender, and we’ll take you with us next time we suppress Mu Lang’.

And then, the invincible Miss Heavenly Dao actually surrendered.

Although it was a good thing that Miss Heavenly Dao knew how to be flexible, but… to sell out her master , was this really what a maid should do?!

It seems Sister Mengrou is more reliable after all… Looking at Yao Meng, who stood in mid-air with a playful smile in her eyes, then at Miss Heavenly Dao behind him, Mu Zhian silently rubbed his forehead and sighed.

Even without being there, Mu Zhian could imagine how Mu Zhi had provoked Yao Meng and the others earlier.

The master of the Forbidden Land of Life, having grown up spoiled since childhood, had never suffered a single loss. She probably provoked Yao Meng and the others thinking she had the protection of her forbidden object.

And the person appearing in the Great Qian Dynasty wasn’t even her true body, so it didn’t matter even if she died… Mu Zhi probably thought something like that.

Setting aside the others, Yao Meng, with her seemingly gentle personality, like a big sister next door… but that was on the premise that no one crossed her bottom line.

It could only be said that although Mu Zhi thought it didn’t matter even if her clone was destroyed, she didn’t expect that Yao Meng and the others not only didn’t attack her, but even warmly invited her to watch a movie.

Although after watching this movie, Mu Zhi would probably be furious…

Her fiancé being intimate with another girl, while she, as his fiancée, could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything…

Mu Zhian didn’t doubt for a second that Mu Zhi would go yandere after being released.

No matter what, I can’t let them go on … Mu Zhian coughed lightly and looked at Bai Ruoxi, whose ample bosom could look down upon all other women.

“Mu Lang, is something wrong?”

Sensing her lover’s gaze, Bai Ruoxi called out timidly, shyly lowering her head.

Her every move seemed to carry an inexplicable charm, drawing one’s gaze involuntarily.

Mu Zhian’s gaze swept over her face, lingering for a long moment. His eyes glazed over slightly, then he snapped out of it, composed himself, and calmed down.

There was no one in this world who could charm him… but Bai Ruoxi, also possessing the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox body, was an exception.

The higher Bai Ruoxi’s realm, the greater the charm of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox.

Yes… he was just being charmed by the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, not because he was mesmerized by Nai Xi, absolutely not!

Seemingly sensing Yao Meng and the Demon Empress’s playful gazes, Mu Zhian looked straight ahead, maintained his composure, and said, “Mu Zhi is the master of the Forbidden Land of Life, after all. Her pride probably wouldn’t allow her to be trapped in a grotto-heaven. We should let her out, right? Ruoxi, what do you think?”

To release Mu Zhi, asking the Demon Empress or Yao Meng was unrealistic. The only one he could count on was the gentle, pure, and kind Miss Bai, who cared about him.

Mu Zhian originally thought so.

And he did see Bai Ruoxi looking thoughtful, nodding slightly, “What Mu Lang said is right.”

“Mu Zhi is the master of the Forbidden Land of Life, and also Mu Lang’s childhood friend. And her personality is proud and difficult to deal with. If we make her watch her fiancé being… she will definitely be angry.”

At this time, only my Nai Xi is the most reliable… A gentle smile unconsciously appeared on Mu Zhian’s face, then he heard Bai Ruoxi continue softly:

“So I specially prepared the Heart-Binding Lock for Sister Mu Zhi just now. This Heart-Binding Lock has now evolved, and my feelings will be completely synchronized with the master of the Forbidden Land of Life… This way, she won’t feel left out.”

The smile on Mu Zhian’s face faltered slightly.

Miss Bai, are you sure you won’t make Mu Zhi so angry that she’ll come looking for you to fight to the death after this?

He didn’t expect this black-bellied Miss Bai to come up with such a vicious punishment… Mu Zhian was somewhat speechless.

“Ruoxi, that’s not what I meant…”

He was about to say something, but saw Bai Ruoxi lightly biting her red lips, looking at him with a wronged expression.

“Mu Lang, do you think I’ve gone too far?”

She looked as if she had just suffered a great injustice, and now, seeing her Dao Companion siding with someone else instead of helping her, she looked weak and helpless.

Just one glance was enough to make one’s heart ache with pity.

A playful glint appeared in Yao Meng’s eyes as she studied Bai Ruoxi’s every move.

Miss Bai usually kept a low profile, and it was usually Gong Lianyue who dealt with these kinds of situations.

But now it seemed that when it came to the art of tea, ten Gong Lianyues combined were no match for one Bai Ruoxi.

The Demon Empress also remained silent, a thoughtful look in her eyes.

To the usually assertive Demon Empress, Bai Ruoxi’s current demeanor was a bit beyond her comprehension.

This vixen was the type of domineering female CEO. Compared to nestling in a young man’s arms like a weak little girl, she preferred the young man to nestle weakly in her arms…

However, it had to be said that assertiveness wasn’t always the solution… At least, when it came to capturing a man’s heart, assertiveness alone was definitely not enough.

She might be able to tie Mu Zhian up and drag him back to the Demon Realm… but that didn’t mean she could keep his heart.

Unless she used her post-Transcendence charm technique.

But that was clearly not something the proud Demon Empress would do. Compared to directly charming Mu Zhian, she preferred to conquer him with her own charisma.

For this, her assertive side, and even Bai Ruoxi’s current damsel-in-distress act, which could arouse any man’s protective instincts… were worth studying.

Mu Zhian looked at Miss Bai. Although he wanted to speak up several times, he was ultimately defeated by her pitiful demeanor.

Clearly, now wasn’t the right time to ask the Demon Empress to release her prisoner.

At least, they had no intention of letting her go now.

I’ll have to let Mu Zhi suffer for a while…

Mu Zhian, recalling this, suddenly heard an angry voice from within the Demon Empress’s grotto-heaven, “Jade Empress, Gong Lianyue, and Shi Zixuan, if you don’t let me out, you’ll face the wrath of the Forbidden Land of Life!”

“Retaliation? After returning to the Demon Realm today, do you really think any spies from the Forbidden Land of Life can remain in my Demon Realm?”

A hint of mockery laced the Demon Empress’s tone. She gently raised her hand, completely silencing the voice from within her grotto-heaven.

She possessed mind-reading abilities; finding the spies hidden in the Demon Realm wasn’t difficult. However, compared to catching spies, she had more important things to do.

The alluring and sexy Empress turned to look at Mu Zhian with a smile, a playful glint in her crimson eyes, “Shang Yanfei seems to have ulterior motives towards her own disciples, doesn’t she? I wonder what she would think if she knew what was about to happen here.”

Suddenly, she brought up someone else.

Thinking of this, the Demon Empress’s excitement grew.

She not only wanted a certain someone who called herself a ‘fiancée’ to watch them… she also wanted to see Shang Yanfei’s expression after learning the truth.

Just the thought of it was inexplicably exciting.

However, as she spoke, Yao Meng said faintly, “It seems you have no idea.”

Her casual words, laced with a hint of mockery, made the Demon Empress raise a delicate eyebrow and ask, “Know what?”

Yao Meng’s long, black hair cascaded down, her thin, green dress fluttering in the cold wind, clinging to her alluring and sexy figure.

Sensing Bai Ruoxi and the others’ puzzled gazes, Yao Meng said faintly, with a hint of complexity in her voice, “Shang Yanfei has met him before.”

The Demon Empress was stunned, “In the past…?”

Her first reaction was that the Jade Empress was deceiving her, but seeing her complex expression, she couldn’t help but believe her words.

“Probably when he was little.”

“To be more specific, probably around the time he started his enlightenment.”

After saying this in a calm tone, Yao Meng saw both Bai Ruoxi and the Demon Empress stunned.

In the Nine Provinces, a child’s enlightenment usually happened around the age of three or four, or at the latest, five.

In other words, Shang Yanfei had known Mu Zhian since he was very young, and had her eyes on him even back then…

Bai Ruoxi’s expression turned dazed, her figure almost swaying.

If the Jade Empress wasn’t lying, then didn’t that mean Mu Lang had already become someone’s shape since he was a child…?

Miss Heavenly Dao’s eyes also changed slightly.

Honestly, she was quite interested in Master’s past. After all, nothing about Mu Zhian was recorded in the Heavenly Dao, and she really wanted to know what Master had experienced in the past.

And most importantly… that was Master when he was little!

Master was so handsome now, he must have been very cute as a child.

After a brief moment of daze, the Demon Empress finally came back to her senses, composed herself slightly, and almost involuntarily looked towards the Two Polarities Sect, murmuring to herself, “So, Mu Lang choosing the Two Polarities Sect… perhaps wasn’t a coincidence, but destined?”

They were all top-tier figures in the Nine Provinces and naturally knew many secrets.

For example, some people’s future paths were secretly arranged by a great power from the moment they were born… The Demon Empress had done similar things before.

But she didn’t expect that her Dao Companion from a past life would be Shang Yanfei’s fish…

…What exactly are Shang Yanfei’s feelings for him? the Demon Empress suddenly wondered.

If it were romantic love, there should be no reason for her to allow Mu Zhian to be intimate with other women.

After all, having met Mu Zhian when he was little, Shang Yanfei had too many opportunities to make him completely infatuated with her alone.

But if it wasn’t romantic love, then it was hard to explain the intimate things Shang Yanfei and Mu Zhian did…

I really want to drag that woman out and ask her clearly…

Looking in the direction of the Two Polarities Sect, the ruler of the Demon Realm narrowed her beautiful eyes, a dangerous glint within.

Or perhaps, she could record the intimate scene between her and Mu Lang with a Shadow Stone later and send it to that Sect Master…?

Just as the Demon Empress was thinking about such dangerous things, Bai Ruoxi’s gentle gaze also lingered on Mu Zhian. Even without looking at her, Mu Zhian could feel the danger in the cool and delicate young lady’s eyes.

If they know I’ve already suppressed Sect Master Sister’s Karmic Fire, will I still be able to see the sun in the Nine Provinces in the coming months…? Mu Zhian feigned composure and coughed lightly, “The matter between the Sect Master and me when I was little, I don’t really have any impression of it… Anyway, let’s go back to the court and see the situation first, what do you think?”

“At least we have to make sure the Great Qian Dynasty doesn’t fall and can stabilize the situation.”

Even if destiny was shielded now and the Heavenly Dao couldn’t descend, no one could guarantee that if the Great Qian Dynasty fell, the Heavenly Dao wouldn’t be able to ignore the shielded destiny and directly descend upon the Nine Provinces.

Yao Meng sat in the void, shrouded in immortal mist, her green eyes looking at Mu Zhian with a half-smile, “You seem to want to get away from us as soon as possible… What’s wrong, is Sister so scary?”

Mu Zhian shook his head and sighed, “I’m just worried that the Heavenly Dao’s descent will affect the situation in the Nine Provinces, I’m a bit uneasy…”

Just then, the Demon Empress joined the battlefield, “Even if you go, you can’t interfere in this succession struggle. Instead of waiting there, it’s better to just see the results later… Although you can’t directly interfere, there are rumors in the Great Qian Dynasty that the three major ancient factions of the Eastern Continent are all supporting Princess Yongning’s ascension. At least the situation is most favorable for her.”

If it were just one ancient faction, the ministers of the Great Qian Dynasty might worry about the dynasty being controlled in the future.

But with three factions… it meant they would balance each other out, which was much more reassuring.

Just as Mu Zhian was about to say something more, Bai Ruoxi took his arm, looked up at him with her beautiful eyes, and said softly, “Mu Lang, let’s go back to the Garden of Heavenly Harmony first. It’s quieter there, and no one will disturb us.”

C-can I refuse…? Mu Zhian complained wildly inwardly, but ultimately submitted to Nai Xi’s charm and nodded silently.

Miss Heavenly Dao had been following Mu Zhian all along. After arriving at the Garden of Heavenly Harmony, she looked at Mu Zhian’s ‘helpless’ expression, hesitated slightly, and said softly, “Will Master blame me for not protecting you?”

Mu Zhian, already lying on the soft couch, beckoned to her.

Seeing Miss Heavenly Dao walk to his side and kneel obediently, Mu Zhian gently stroked her soft hair and said gently, “Compared to the cold and indifferent you from the past, you’re more like a person now… Honestly, I’m very relieved.”

“Of course… it would be even better if you don’t sell out your master next time.”

To sell out her master just for the Spiritual Energy of the Innate Celestial Furnace… Thinking of this, Mu Zhian couldn’t help but sigh.

It seemed he had to give this Miss Heavenly Dao some stick education.

Hearing her master’s comfort, Miss Heavenly Dao visibly relaxed, and her usually emotionless eyes softened slightly.

Compared to being a lofty god, executing the Heavenly Dao’s will, she now preferred to stay by her master’s side…

Like now, letting him stroke her head…

Miss Heavenly Dao slowly closed her eyes, enjoying this warm atmosphere.

However, just then, she faintly heard a sarcastic, silver-bell-like laughter, and Miss Heavenly Dao’s eyes snapped open.

She frowned slightly, looked up, and silently stared into Mu Zhian’s eyes.

For a moment, as if through Mu Zhian’s eyes, she saw a soft white light.

And within that white light, a silver-haired little girl.

…The New Heavenly Dao!

The two Heavenly Daos met for the first time in this special way!
