Chapter 604: Chapter 604

In the end, Mu Zhian agreed to this rather strange request.

He had no choice; it was for Mu Zhi…

At first, he was somewhat worried and helpless. Yao Meng, Nai Xi, and the Demon Empress were all at the Transcendence Realm, their Essence Blood practically inexhaustible.

Mu Zhian was even worried that his Innate Celestial Furnace would be completely drained after a few days.

But after thinking about it, wasn’t his purpose in raising fish to have them live in harmony one day?

And he had already reached Soul Transformation, his body far stronger than before. Satisfying the Demon Empress and having her release Mu Zhi later… wasn’t impossible.

Thinking of this, Mu Zhian quickly collected his thoughts, stood up, stretched, and closed the doors and windows.

However, Mu Zhian didn’t notice a pair of disdainful eyes watching him from a corner outside his bedchamber.

The anticipation in Wei Mengrou’s heart had turned to ashes.

Although she had concealed her aura, making it difficult to detect, the young master clearly knew she was in the Garden of Heavenly Harmony… Even if he couldn’t sense her aura, he should have thought of her first upon returning.

The young master had completely forgotten her.

Although she wasn’t interested in participating in their… activities, seeing this scene still made her uncomfortable…

If something happens to him again, I won’t help him even if he dies!

Thinking of this, Wei Mengrou silently retracted her gaze, about to leave.

However, just then, a cold, emotionless voice suddenly came from beside her ear, “If you want him so badly, why not just get rid of the other women?”

Wei Mengrou abruptly looked up, scanning her surroundings, but didn’t sense anything.

Just as she thought of this, the voice echoed softly in her ear again, “Don’t you want your young master all to yourself? Without having to share with other women, you alone can enjoy him…”

This time, Wei Mengrou finally realized who was speaking.

However, after merging with the two Primordial Witch spiritual senses, her will had never been affected. Why now…

She gently shook her head, dispelling the messy thoughts, trying her best to calm down.

Faintly, she felt a cool touch on her cheek. Wei Mengrou subconsciously looked up at the cold winter night.

It had started to snow.

Another year had passed into winter, the courtyard covered in snow.

The charcoal fire from last night had burned out. Mu Zhian pushed open the door, letting the fresh, cold air into the room, waking himself up slightly.

“So they just left me here after they were done…”

Looking at the vast snowy scenery outside, recalling the events of the past three days, Mu Zhian couldn’t help but sigh softly.

He felt like a bragging king.

All he could say was, although he was tired, the feeling was truly wonderful.

That feeling of his body and mind reaching the peak of pleasure was something he had never experienced before.

It made sense. After all, the Demon Empress could transform into anyone, Yao Meng’s own beauty was already captivating, and Ruoxi was… very large… The three different experiences combined into an even greater pleasure. Thıs text ıs hosted at novelFɪre.net

He just didn’t know when the Demon Empress planned to release Mu Zhi…

Mu Zhian was leaning against the windowsill, thinking about this, when he suddenly noticed a pair of dark eyes silently staring at him from a corner outside.

Mu Zhian followed the gaze and, seeing the owner of the eyes, couldn’t help but be startled, “When did you get there? It’s snowing so heavily outside, you’ll catch a cold.”

Not far from the bedchamber was a pavilion, and a woman in a goose-yellow dress stood there, her temperament cool and aloof.

Hearing the young master’s words, Wei Mengrou just glanced at him sideways and sneered, “Why didn’t you show this much concern for me last night?”

So now that you’re done, you’re worried I’ll catch a cold?

Mu Zhian was slightly stunned, “You were in the Garden of Heavenly Harmony last night?”

Wei Mengrou gently shook her head.

Just as Mu Zhian was about to feel relieved, Wei Mengrou said coldly, “I’ve been here since you returned with the Jade Empress and the others three days ago.”

Mu Zhian fell into a brief silence.

Come to think of it, after Sister Mengrou separated from him in the Lan Clan, she returned to the sect first. Where else could she have gone besides the Garden of Heavenly Harmony…?

However, Wei Mengrou had been concealing her aura all this time, and even he, her master, had forgotten about her…

Wei Mengrou, with the two Primordial Witch spiritual senses, her current combat power was unknown, but at least when she concealed her aura, even Dao Integration Realm experts couldn’t detect her presence if she kept her distance.

In other words, everything that happened between him and Yao Meng and the others in the room these past three days…

Even with his firm mentality, Mu Zhian couldn’t help but cover his face.

“What are you so shy about? I’ve seen everything you did in Tianxuan City before,” Wei Mengrou said disdainfully, as if saying, “I already know you’re a public bus that anyone can ride, so what’s the big deal?”

Mu Zhian was suddenly relieved.

Wei Mengrou knew all his dark history, she already knew what kind of person her young master was. Why would he be embarrassed before her now?

“Since Sister Mengrou has been in the Garden of Heavenly Harmony these past three days, did you see where Zi Xuan and the others went today?” Mu Zhian suddenly asked.

Wei Mengrou looked at him sideways, “Did you pass out last night? You didn’t even realize they left?”

She added, “The new emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty ascended the throne today. The Jade Pool Holy Land and the Sword Palace both received invitations.”

“So, Yongning has ascended the throne?” Mu Zhian asked subconsciously.

Normally, even with a new emperor’s ascension, they wouldn’t invite the ancient factions of the Eastern Continent. However, rumors had spread that the three major ancient factions all supported Yongning.

Even if these three factions didn’t openly support Yongning, it was enough to make people wary.

At least, although they didn’t openly support her, they didn’t deny the rumors either.

This ambiguous attitude made many ministers in the Great Qian Dynasty secretly wary.

Wei Mengrou said faintly, “They didn’t go to the Great Qian Dynasty. However, both the Jade Pool Holy Land and the Sword Palace sent representatives with congratulatory gifts… I heard the Forbidden Zone also sent someone.”

“The Jade Empress and the others went to deal with the Forbidden Lands.”

“The Forbidden Lands…?” Mu Zhian frowned slightly, “I remember the Forbidden Lands were almost extinct before, why are they so active now? Do they have other ways to make the Heavenly Dao descend?”

Wei Mengrou silently looked at Mu Zhian, not speaking.

“What’s wrong, Sister Mengrou?” Mu Zhian asked strangely.

“What do you think was the reason for the Forbidden Lands becoming active?” Wei Mengrou countered.

If he had to say, the Forbidden Lands’ activity began after Mu Zhian reached Soul Transformation.

Before that, the only time the Forbidden Lands were alarmed was during the Jade Empress’s Transcendence.

But back then, they didn’t realize that a mere Nascent Soul Realm cultivator could influence the situation in the Nine Provinces, even allowing a Dao Integration Realm expert to break free from the shackles of heaven and earth.

“So it’s my fault,” Mu Zhian couldn’t help but chuckle.

Wei Mengrou said faintly, “If you have to say, it’s not wrong. Young Master is now a walking disaster… To obtain you, the Forbidden Lands have probably already had secret discussions, planning how to cooperate and take you away.”

This time in the Great Qian Dynasty, the Forbidden Zone Lords mostly sent their clones, and their memories were erased by Miss Heavenly Dao, so they didn’t know what happened in the Great Qian Dynasty.

But them not knowing didn’t mean they wouldn’t investigate.

At least, the Forbidden Zone Lords would soon know that it was Mu Zhian who schemed against them.

Mu Zhian looked thoughtful and suddenly said, “Speaking of which, are you implying I shouldn’t leave the sect during this time?”

“So Sister Mengrou does care about me,” Mu Zhian said with a smile.

A blush quickly spread across Wei Mengrou’s face. She glanced at him awkwardly and said faintly, “I just don’t want to increase my workload. Your mother… she entrusted me to take care of you before. If you run around, it’ll be a headache for me.”

Mu Zhian thought of the woman who raised him, his eyes slightly dazed as he silently stared at the snowy scenery for a long time.

Then, he looked up at a certain direction outside the Garden of Heavenly Harmony.

“Are you going to Two Polarities Peak?” Wei Mengrou asked.

“Yes, I want to see the Sect Master again,” Mu Zhian turned to look at the maid’s cold and beautiful face and said with a smile, “Although Sect Master Sister likes to be cryptic, she helped a lot with the destiny shielding this time. I want to personally thank her.”

“And offer yourself to her?” Wei Mengrou glanced at him sideways.

Mu Zhian: “I’m not that kind of person! And neither is Sect Master Sister!”

The maid just scoffed and rolled her eyes at the young master.

Soon, Mu Zhian arrived at Two Polarities Peak with Wei Mengrou and saw the Sect Master in a quiet courtyard in the back mountain.

As usual, a black mist enveloped her, her magnificent black robe accentuating her beautiful figure. Her long, slender legs, wrapped in the robe, were crossed as she sat casually under a pavilion.

Several Peak Masters were also under the pavilion, seemingly discussing something.

“Do you need something?”

Just then, Shang Yanfei’s voice came from the pavilion. The Peak Masters all looked over, and upon seeing Mu Zhian, a hint of emotion appeared in their eyes.

Noticing their gazes, Mu Zhian immediately bowed respectfully, “Disciple pays respects to Sect Master and the other Peak Masters.”

The Peak Master of Boundless Sea Peak, Yi Hao, seeing this, chuckled, “Young Friend Mu, there’s no need to be so polite. Your current realm is comparable to ours, there’s no need to address yourself as a disciple anymore.”

Hearing this, Mu Zhian shook his head seriously, “A teacher for a day is a father for life. The Peak Masters have shown me great kindness, no matter my realm, I can’t forget their past kindness.”

Besides, my Lin Ling has almost eaten all the Eight Treasure Cranes on Boundless Sea Peak… Calling them Peak Master or Senior isn’t an exaggeration.

Mu Zhian quickly collected his thoughts and said respectfully, “This disciple came to thank the Sect Master.”

If it weren’t for Shang Yanfei shielding destiny, once the Lord of Reincarnation summoned the Heavenly Dao… who knew what would have happened.

The Peak Masters naturally didn’t know what happened in the Great Qian Dynasty. They exchanged puzzled glances.

“That’s all for today, you can all go back,” Shang Yanfei said calmly.

Then, she looked up at Wei Mengrou and said with a smile, “You can go back too.”

Wei Mengrou looked at her pale golden eyes, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.

For some reason, she felt a strange sense of familiarity.

As if… she had seen her somewhere before.

But since the Sect Master said so, she couldn’t stay here any longer. She glanced at the young master, then temporarily left the courtyard with the other Peak Masters.

With just the two of them left, Mu Zhian was no longer so reserved and sat down beside Sect Master Sister.

“What were you discussing with the Peak Masters just now?”

“Just passing on the Nine Peaks’ techniques after reaching Soul Transformation to them.”

Shang Yanfei’s red lips parted slightly. She glanced at the young man lazily and said softly, “Aren’t you worried Mulian will see this if she comes over?”

“I’ll sense Senior Sister before she arrives, don’t worry,” Mu Zhian chuckled, holding the Sect Master’s cool, small hand.

Although Mu Zhian still felt a sense of distance between him and the Sect Master, the feeling of being intimate with this mysterious older sister was quite pleasant.

But just as he held her hand, Mu Zhian seemed to sense something and glanced at her, “Are you injured?”

He couldn’t sense it from a distance, but after getting close to Shang Yanfei, Mu Zhian clearly felt her aura was slightly weaker than before.

“Is it because of the destiny shielding?”

Shang Yanfei chuckled softly, her voice as pleasant as usual, “If I have to say, then yes. After all, I’m only at Dao Integration Realm, shielding destiny does come with a price.”

“You weren’t injured this time, were you?” she asked casually, changing the subject.

Mu Zhian shook his head.

With Miss Heavenly Dao around, he couldn’t possibly be injured.

But he didn’t expect that even the Sect Master would be injured while shielding destiny…

Shang Yanfei gazed at him quietly, a serene and elegant smile on her face, “As long as you’re not injured.”

Her beautiful eyes were as calm as usual, but for some reason, Mu Zhian saw an indescribable tenderness in them.

…Just like Mu Wange’s gaze before.

Mu Zhian had no choice but to change the subject, “The Heavenly Dao hasn’t descended for a long time. Were you the one behind this?”

“I’m not an immortal, I can’t shield destiny alone,” Shang Yanfei said softly. “I just used some tricks with the Nine Peaks’ formations.”

Then, she added, “However, as long as the Forbidden Lands still exist, they will find other ways to summon the Heavenly Dao.”

Mu Zhian understood the implication in Shang Yanfei’s words, glanced at her, and said, “Does Sect Master Sister mean… to eliminate the Forbidden Zone Lords?”

“The Forbidden Zone Lords can’t be eliminated. As long as the Forbidden Lands don’t fall, the Forbidden Zone Lords are hard to kill.”

The elegant and mysterious beauty glanced at him, her pale golden eyes reflecting the young man’s handsome face, “The Nine Forbidden Lands aren’t a monolith. At least the Eastern Continent Forbidden Zone and the Forbidden Land of Life are out of the Heavenly Dao’s control.”

Mu Zhian’s eyes flickered slightly, and he hesitated, “Does Sect Master Sister mean…”

“Have you heard the story of the fox demon causing chaos in a dynasty?” Shang Yanfei asked a seemingly irrelevant question.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly. A fox demon charming the emperor, making him neglect court… he had read many similar stories before.

But why did the Sect Master suddenly bring this up—

Mu Zhian’s train of thought was interrupted. He looked at Shang Yanfei in shock, a look of “Sect Master Sister, don’t tell me you have a cuckold fetish like Qian’er” on his face.

Shang Yanfei casually took a sip of tea, her red lips now even more lustrous.

Then, she glanced at Mu Zhian with a smile in her eyes.

“Compared to destroying the Forbidden Lands, I think you have a better way, don’t you?”
