It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists-Chapter 347: A Tsundere Is Hard to Resist!

Mu Zhi’an, noticing her subtle action, gently stroked her hair, teasing her playfully. “Are you… reluctant to let me go, Mengrou?”

“Don’t flatter yourself,” she scoffed, her tone disdainful.

“I’ll go prepare the bath then.”

As he pulled back the blankets, she held him tighter, her body pressing against his.

“Stay… Stay with me…” she whispered, her beautiful face flushed, her lips between her teeth as she looked up at him, her eyes moist.

Mu Zhi’an froze.

For a moment, his blood surged, and he almost lost control.

However, his rationality prevailed, and he covered them with the blanket again, holding her close.

Seeing Mengrou like this… even if Yao Meng catches us, it will be worth it.

He was filled with a sense of contentment. These past few days had been some of the best.

He had deepened his connection with Ye Qingxin, made Luo Tan suspicious of Xiao Hua, earned Lan Mulian’s favor despite losing to her, and most importantly, he had finally… been with Mengrou.

His only regret was not finding the remaining bronze fragments.

Once he collected them all, her Calamity Body’s curse would be lifted.

After a while, Wei Mengrou, recovering from her embarrassment, gently stopped his wandering hand and got out of bed, changing her clothes.

Her long hair cascaded down her back, framing her pale face, which still held a hint of exhaustion.

It couldn’t be helped. After all, she had been wearing those alluring stockings…

If only she had a garter belt…

“I’ll come with you and help you prepare the bath,” Mu Zhi’an said, standing behind her, his hands on her shoulders.

“N-no… I can do it myself,” she said, her cheeks flushing crimson as she felt his chest against her back. She glared at him and hurried out of the room.

She’s still embarrassed…

The more proactive she was, the more embarrassed she is now…

But she’s so sweet and understanding… If it were Ruoxi, with Gong Lianyue’s consciousness active, she would have probably used my head as a footstool after finding out about the fragrant balm.

Mu Zhi’an watched her leave, a smile on his face.

Although he wanted to tease her more, he decided not to push his luck.

“Shouldn’t you thank me for not interrupting you tonight?”

As he was preparing some tea and snacks for Lan Mulian’s arrival, Yao Meng’s soft voice echoed through the room.

A green light flickered, and she appeared, sitting gracefully on a chair, her hand supporting her cheek, her hair cascading down her shoulder, her aura relaxed.

“It’s interesting that your Innate Celestial Furnace’s energy can suppress the Primordial Witch’s curse,” she said.

Mu Zhi’an wasn’t surprised by her sudden appearance. He had anticipated it, but the atmosphere had been too perfect to resist.

“My Furnace can suppress her curse?” he asked, puzzled.

Wei Mengrou’s curse was related to the Heavenly Dao, and it seemed he could block Heavenly Secrets, but he didn’t understand why.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen an evolving Innate Celestial Furnace. Anything is possible,” Yao Meng said, her legs crossed, her bare feet dangling playfully beneath her green dress.

“You were pretending to be injured today, weren’t you? Do you have a grudge against Xiao Hua?”

“Not really. He’s just jealous that I talked to his cousin. I was just… retaliating,” Mu Zhi’an replied, shaking his head.

“And the Void Nightmare helped you because of the Eight Chaos Dream Scroll?”

She’s so smart… “Yes. The scroll creates dreams, which are food for the Nightmare. And Lin Ling threatened it, so it surrendered and formed a contract with me.”

“You’re concerned about me being attacked?”

Yao Meng twirled a strand of hair around her finger, her eyes half-closed. “You died before me once. I won’t hesitate to eliminate anyone who threatens you.”

“That would be too much trouble. Empress Luo Tan is already investigating. There’s no need to antagonize her,” Mu Zhi’an said with a smile. “I’ll ask for your help if I need it, but for now, you should focus on… Nirvana Silk.”

“Nirvana Silk?” Her eyes flickered with curiosity.

“I know you traded some Nirvana Silk with Yao Yue to make stockings for your maid… You’re quite fond of stockings, aren’t you?”

Mu Zhi’an nodded seriously. “They’re one of mankind’s greatest inventions!”

“But I think black fishnet stockings would suit you better, Jade Empress, perhaps with high heels and a short black skirt, and maybe a garter belt…”

The contrast between black and white accentuated a woman’s beauty, and Yao Meng’s fair skin, with its faint, ethereal glow, would be even more captivating in such attire.

And… if she were bound by her own vines…

Of course, he wouldn’t mention that now.

She had probably heard their earlier activities. Mentioning vines now might prevent him from leaving this room.

Yao Meng’s lips curved into a faint smile. “Perhaps with a blindfold and a gag, and my Pure World Vines binding your body…” Her eyes twinkled with amusement. “What do you think?”

“Where did you learn such… interesting things?” Mu Zhi’an asked, surprised.

She used to be the epitome of innocence and purity…

How long has she been in my Furnace?

Yao Meng smiled at him. “I borrowed a book. It had some… interesting content. I thought you might like it.”

“It’s not about liking it. It’s about appreciating beauty. Even the Pill Emperor is wearing black stockings. It’s just that cultivators in the Eastern Realm aren’t familiar with them yet. I’ll make them fashionable soon!” Mu Zhi’an declared righteously.

Yao Meng chuckled, tilting her chin up slightly. “Don’t forget, my Dao allows me to sense others’ desires.”

“I know what you’re thinking.”

“I doubt anyone could be unaffected by your presence,” Mu Zhi’an said, shaking his head.

“Who else would dare to have such disrespectful thoughts?”

Yao Meng’s eyes twinkled with amusement. “Most people wouldn’t even dare to look at me. Only you would have such… blasphemous thoughts.”

A Dao Integration expert’s aura was like a bloodline suppression. Most cultivators wouldn’t dare to offend them.

That was why, during Ye Qingxin’s trial, only he had had such… lewd thoughts.

“I used to be very respectful towards you, Jade Empress,” Mu Zhi’an said with a smile.

Then, looking at her more closely, he asked, “Have you… improved your cultivation? Your aura seems even more… captivating… And you’re even wearing nail polish?”

Yao Meng’s lips curved into a faint smile, her long hair framing her beautiful face, her alluring figure clad in a green dress, her long, smooth legs bare, her delicate feet adorned with light pink nail polish, a silvery sheen giving them an ethereal glow.

“You’ve been staring at my feet. Do you want to… lick them?” she asked, her voice teasing.

She had gone from a benevolent fairy to a seductive temptress.

Mu Zhi’an chuckled. “Senior Sister Lan is coming tonight. Perhaps another time.”

Even Yao Meng blushed slightly, quickly changing the subject. “Empress Luo Tan won’t protect him. He’s just someone she saved. But she has to be certain of his guilt. And she knows you might be orchestrating this. Are you sure she’ll fall for it?”

She’s embarrassed… I thought she had no weaknesses… “Empress Luo Tan has lived for millennia. She’ll see through his act,” Mu Zhi’an said, almost calling her ‘old’, then quickly corrected himself. He had almost forgotten that the Jade Empress was also a being who had lived for millennia.

Noticing her amused gaze, he continued, “Haven’t you noticed anything strange about Xiao Hua?”

“He’s feigning unconsciousness, indirectly admitting to the attack. Why would he do that, hiding his consciousness?”

Yao Meng’s eyes narrowed. “His consciousness is damaged, and he’s afraid of being exposed?”

“I wasn’t sure at first, but after hearing that he could refine sixth-grade pills, I’m almost certain.”

“Possessing another’s body… Empress Luo Tan won’t tolerate such an act.”

Even if Xiao Hua managed to deceive her, their relationship would be strained.

And that distrust… would create an opportunity.
