Chapter 609: Chapter 609

In Mu Zhian’s view, the forbidden rules were purely a scheme set up by the Heavenly Dao to control the Nine Provinces.

If the rules of heaven and earth still had to consider ‘fairness’, then the requirements of the forbidden rules were entirely determined by the master’s mood and didn’t need to consider fairness at all.

However, the other Forbidden Lands, because of the Heavenly Dao, couldn’t truly do as they pleased. But the Forbidden Zone where Ye Lingxuan was, was now completely under her control. She could do anything she wanted.

Just like Ye Lingxuan did just now, directly rewriting the forbidden rules to make them beneficial to her.

Within a certain study in the Forbidden Zone.

Smokeless silver charcoal burned quietly, the candlelight flickering silently.

Mu Zhian gently rubbed his lower back, then glanced at Ye Lingxuan, who was lying on her side on the soft couch.

The young woman’s eyes were slightly closed, her snow-white skin glowing warmly in the candlelight. Her noble and magnificent purple dress was casually draped over a chair, and she wore a simple white inner garment.

Ye Lingxuan was the type of elegant young lady who seemed well-behaved and sensible, but Mu Zhian knew very well that this girl could be quite wild in private.

When someone approached just now, she was even able to suppress her emotions and use a calm voice to dismiss the clan members outside.

It could only be said… Ye Lingxuan’s study of The Art of Managing Your Husband had not been in vain. She seemed to be gradually understanding how to capture Mu Zhian’s heart.

Mu Zhian didn’t know how to describe the feeling he had earlier, only that it was truly interesting.

He just couldn’t handle it now.

The Spiritual Energy of his Innate Celestial Furnace was depleted, and his own cauldron had also consumed more than half of its Spiritual Energy… Anyone who didn’t know would think he had just been through a thrilling battle.

Oh… in a sense, it was indeed a thrilling battle.

At least, within the current Eastern Continent Forbidden Zone, no one could confidently say they could suppress Ye Lingxuan.

But Mu Zhian did, without even using any Spiritual Energy.

“I didn’t expect the Forbidden Zone’s rules could be played with . Does this mean you can change the rules however you like now?” Mu Zhian asked with emotion.

Ye Lingxuan propped herself up, a strand of hair falling from beside her ear. She bent down, intending to pick up the white ankle socks on the floor, but Mu Zhian had already bent down and put them on for her.

“The Forbidden Zone’s rules can even make Brother Mu do this,” Ye Lingxuan looked at him in surprise, then a pleased smile appeared on her face as she gathered her messy hair and tidied it up.

Mu Zhian shook his head, “This isn’t the influence of the Forbidden Zone’s rules, I just wanted to do it.”

Ye Lingxuan looked at the young man’s serious expression, hesitated, then finally couldn’t help but ask, “You don’t blame me for using the power of rules on you earlier, even forcibly commanding you?”

“Of course not. I’ve been neglecting you recently… Actually, even without the power of rules, I would still be captivated by you,” Mu Zhian suddenly smiled. “After all, my Sister Lingxuan has that kind of charm.”

Ye Lingxuan blinked her eyes, “Does Sister Ruoxi also have that kind of charm?”

“If Sister Ruoxi does, then Jade Empress Sister should also have it, right?”

The young girl counted on her fingers, thinking seriously, “And then there’s Sister Mengrou, Senior Sister Lan…”

After a moment of thought, Ye Lingxuan smiled brightly, “Come to think of it, Brother Mu has quite a few women to be captivated by every day.”

“Why don’t you just stay in the Forbidden Zone from now on…?”

She seemed to be murmuring to herself, but her words made Mu Zhian’s expression change.

The young girl observed Mu Zhian’s expression with a smile, then leaned close to his ear, her breath like orchids, “Just kidding, I wouldn’t do anything so outrageous~”

Her usually elegant and pure voice now held an indescribable charm.

Hearing her soft whispers in his ear, for a moment, Mu Zhian could barely control the various thoughts that arose in his mind.

But fortunately, he also knew that important matters were at hand… Or rather, even if he wanted to do something now, it would be difficult.

He needed to return to the Heavenly Court and cultivate for two hours to replenish his Spiritual Energy.

After Ye Lingxuan changed her clothes and tidied her hair before the dressing table, confirming she wouldn’t be noticed, the two of them returned to Yongning’s palace together.

“Brother Mu, rest well tonight~”

After saying this with satisfaction, the young girl turned and left the room.

Mu Zhian sat cross-legged on the soft couch, his hand gently stroking the Heavenly Court ring on his left hand.

After infusing a wisp of his Spiritual Energy into the ring, almost in the next instant, Mu Zhian’s spiritual sense silently left his body and entered the Heavenly Court.

The Innate Celestial Furnace began to spin wildly, continuously absorbing the immense Heavenly Court Spiritual Energy.

Two hours passed unknowingly.

Mu Zhian slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a turbid breath.

His exhausted state was completely gone.

As expected of the Heavenly Court’s Spiritual Energy. After meditating in the Heavenly Court for just two hours, he felt that his Innate Celestial Furnace had already recovered at least one-third.

It was a pity that he couldn’t stay in the Heavenly Court for a long time with just his spiritual sense, otherwise, he could have fully replenished his Innate Celestial Furnace’s Spiritual Energy in a single day.

Thinking of this, Mu Zhian couldn’t help but feel a twinge of regret.

Just then, he suddenly felt a soft touch on his back, followed by a pleasant and crisp voice, “You’ve expended so much energy, you should take care of your body.”

A bright and pleasant voice came from behind him, followed by a woman who swayed gently before him.

Unlike the usual little Yuanluo, she had transformed from a little girl into a rather mature silver-haired woman. Her silvery-white bangs slightly covered her eyes, her face as cool as frost and snow, exuding an imposing aura.

She wore a white floral dress today, her bosom full and perky, thin black straps accentuating her snow-white shoulders, adding a touch of charm.

The dress was meticulously tailored to her thighs, revealing a pair of shapely and slender legs.

Mu Zhian’s expression was filled with shock, “You knew I was malnourished, yet you deliberately transformed into a mature woman, are you trying to kill me?”

Yuanluo rolled her eyes seductively and scoffed, “But your heart is telling me, My new Heavenly Dao wife is so beautiful, her aura so holy, yet her dress is so alluring, I’m so into this, can we go even further with a pair of white silk stockings, preferably the kind that show off her skin tone.”

Can we even have a pleasant conversation anymore?

Mind-reading was truly his lifelong enemy. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelFɪre.net

Mu Zhian coughed lightly, “I was already preparing to go back, yet you only came to find me now. Could it be that you couldn’t bear to see me go and came to say goodbye?”

Yuanluo glanced at him sideways, her beautiful, glass-like red eyes holding an indescribable allure, her voice cool and rich, “Yes, I did come to say goodbye because I missed you.”

Before Mu Zhian could look up, a faint smile had already appeared on Yuanluo’s lips, “Is that what you were hoping I would say?”

“But unfortunately, I just wanted to see what happened to you, why the forbidden rules also became a part of my power.”

Mu Zhian’s expression faltered slightly, “The forbidden rules became your power…?” He hesitated, then, as if realizing something, he murmured to himself, “My personal interface copied part of the Forbidden Zone’s rules…?”

Yuanluo’s strength was linked to Mu Zhian’s. The stronger he was, the stronger she became.

“But aren’t you able to see everything that happens in the outside world through my body now…? You can even spy on me, why do you still need to come and confirm?” Mu Zhian quickly asked.

“I can spy, but not completely,” Yuanluo glanced in a certain direction outside the Heavenly Court.

In that direction, a deep, dark, black hole-like crevice, like a golden eye, could be vaguely seen.

“If you’re in the Nine Provinces, I can see what happens to you… To put it simply, it’s like a live broadcast. But I’m not so idle as to watch you every day. After all, spying on you all the time is also tiring.”

This girl was completely shameless about her spying now… Mu Zhian was momentarily speechless.

Yuanluo continued, “But if you’re in the Forbidden Zone, I can’t see what’s happening there.”

“The rules of the Forbidden Zone reject all outsiders, even me… Forcibly intruding is possible, but unnecessary, right? After all, it would cause quite a commotion, and it wouldn’t be good to spoil your fun with the other girls.”

Mu Zhian couldn’t help but chuckle, “So I should thank you for your consideration?”

“Of course, there’s no one else in this world who cares about you as much as I do.”

A charming smile appeared on Yuanluo’s face as she gently cupped Mu Zhian’s face, “I’m not like the fish in your fishpond. I’m the one who hopes for the best for you… I can do anything for you.”

“After all, when I become stronger, you will also grow, right?” Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Yuanluo looked into his eyes and suddenly said with a smile, “If you work a little harder, after you reach Dao Integration, the Heavenly Court will be completely stable. Perhaps then I can come down and play with you?”

Mu Zhian was stunned, “You mean, playing like going on an outing…?”

Yuanluo lowered her head slightly, her soft red lips gently brushing against his, “Whether it’s going on an outing, or doing other things… I can accompany you.”

“Haven’t you always been wondering about the difference between the Heavenly Dao and the New Heavenly Dao? Perhaps after some… contact, you’ll find the answer?”

Her gentle, holy eyes, and her warm breath so close, a captivating allure.

Mu Zhian silently gazed for a long time, then quickly turned his face away, trying his best to maintain his composure.

Calm down, this isn’t a human, but the ‘Heavenly Dao’. In a sense, she’s not even a living being… she’s a true god.

A man shouldn’t, at least shouldn’t, try such an outrageous thing…

Even so, Lin Ling’s true form was still a Spirit Dragon, wasn’t she also very cute…

Mu Zhian’s gaze lingered on Yuanluo’s delicate and pretty face again.

Her rosy, alluring lips, her flowing silver hair, her beautiful crimson eyes, and the holy, dazzling white sphere behind her, like the sun… It all looked so holy and beautiful.

It made one want to see what she would look like after falling from grace…

Silently gazing into Yuanluo’s eyes, after a long while, he sighed softly, “Forget it, it’s not interesting.”

“What’s not interesting?” Yuanluo tilted her head slightly, a strand of silver hair falling from beside her ear.

“You wouldn’t understand,” Mu Zhian said.

“I understand,” Yuanluo gently touched her red lips with her fingertip and said with a smile, “There needs to be an emotional foundation between a man and a woman. A kiss without an emotional foundation is simply based on one’s own desires… You’re not the same as before, you now prefer a mutual connection.”

“So you think I’m boring now because I’m so rational, right?”

Yes… This woman was too rational. Although she had been chatting and laughing with him, he couldn’t sense any ‘human’ emotions from her.

Besides, even if he asked to be intimate with her, he would definitely be rejected.

As if seeing through his thoughts, Yuanluo’s playful mood faded, and she said seriously, “Of course, I would refuse. I was just joking with you. If one day I really did something with you, then I would no longer be the Heavenly Dao, but just a person with emotions.”

Yuanluo had already made this clear in the past.

The holy Heavenly Dao couldn’t accept the nourishment of the Innate Celestial Furnace.

Mu Zhian changed the subject to something he was more concerned about, “The Heavenly Dao’s will can access the data of all living beings in the Nine Provinces… Since you’ve always been in the Heavenly Court, can you also access the information of the beings in the Heavenly Court?”

He didn’t have much hope, but Yuanluo’s next answer was a pleasant surprise.

Yuanluo hummed faintly, “Yes.”

“I can find the corresponding information for anyone in the Heavenly Court for you.”

Mu Zhian gestured towards the Heavenly Court ring on his hand, “Then this ring has had several owners, can you also find their information?”

“There have only been three in total. The last one to obtain it was you, the second was the First Demon Emperor,” Yuanluo said.

“And the first?” Mu Zhian asked.

“I don’t know, it’s been shielded,” Yuanluo said faintly.

So in the end, you didn’t tell me anything…

A thought suddenly flashed through Mu Zhian’s mind, “Right, since you can search for information on all beings in the Heavenly Court… then you should be familiar with every place in the Heavenly Court, right?”

“I know every location in the Heavenly Court, even what’s there.”

Yuanluo paused, then continued, “But there’s one exception.”

Mu Zhian’s eyes flickered slightly, as if pondering something.

Then, as if realizing something, he subconsciously said, “The Heavenly Palace?”

He remembered something important.

When Ye Qingxin was testing him before, Mu Zhian had been near the Heavenly Palace… but even he couldn’t open the gate to the Heavenly Palace at the time.

But now that he had reached Soul Transformation, perhaps he could try and see what was behind that door.

“You want to go see the Heavenly Palace? Then take me with you!”

Hearing this, Yuanluo’s eyes lit up, and she enthusiastically took his arm.

“Aren’t you the Heavenly Dao? You can still feel curiosity?” Mu Zhian couldn’t help but ask.

“After all, the Heavenly Dao should be omniscient… But even I don’t know what’s in the Heavenly Palace, so naturally I’m curious.”

Yuanluo brought her cherry lips close to his ear and said in a pleading, pitiful voice, “Please, just take me with you… I’ll do anything you want.”

Mu Zhian silently placed his hands on her shoulders and pushed her away.

“Do I need to say what I’m thinking right now?”

Yuanluo nodded gently, “Are you wondering why I, the supposedly holy and flawless Heavenly Dao, am being so seductive and even acting spoiled? But isn’t Fairy Yao Meng also holy? Didn’t she also do many… things with you in private? Heh.”

Mu Zhian silently rubbed his forehead, “Forget it, you lead the way.”

Not only Yuanluo, but Mu Zhian also wanted to know.

What was hidden in the depths of the Heavenly Palace, a place even he, the writer of the Heavenly Court’s rules, couldn’t enter?
