It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists-Chapter 348: Coach, He’s Really Playing the Game!

To Luo Tan, he was probably just someone who had possessed Xiao Hua’s body.

Then, he would be doomed!

What should he do?

He had finally been given a chance to live again. He couldn’t die like this!

Xiao Hua clenched his fists, a flicker of hope burning within him.

And at that moment, it was as if the heavens had heard his desperate cry. Faintly, he saw a dim, white light gradually appearing before him.

“This is…”

His eyes narrowed, then widened with a glimmer of joy.

This treasure map was actually a treasure that could disguise his consciousness!

Although it was only a fragment, Luo Tan’s current form in the Two Polarities Sect wasn’t her true body. It would be difficult for her to see through the treasure’s disguise.

As long as he could get through this, everything would be fine…

Hope surged within Xiao Hua’s heart, and he reached out towards the light without hesitation.

…

The winter wind howled outside a small hut, the candlelight within adding a touch of warmth to the cold night.

“Speaking of which, Sister, do you know of any ancient ruins at the border between the Jade Pool Holy Land and the Demon Realm?”

Mu Zhi’an sat beside Yao Meng, his right hand casually caressing her delicate foot, his palm slowly moving upwards, savoring the cool, smooth texture, like white jade.

Yao Meng’s silky hair cascaded down her faintly flushed face. She looked up at him with a sigh. “Could you remove your hand first? Or are you not worried about your Dao Companion finding out?”

Even though she usually teased Mu Zhi’an, being so blatantly… appreciated still made the Jade Empress feel a little awkward.

“It’s cold. I’m just warming you up, Jade Empress. Nothing else,” Mu Zhi’an said, pulling her into his embrace with a serious expression. “And Ruoxi has a match in a few days. She’s meditating. You don’t have to worry about your image.”

Yao Meng’s body temperature gradually rose, clearly aroused.

“Be serious.”

Although she maintained the image of an older sister in front of Mu Zhi’an, she was more accustomed to taking the initiative rather than being on the receiving end.

To put it bluntly, she could be unrestrained when actively teasing, but she was a little uncomfortable when the roles were reversed.

Yao Meng struggled symbolically in Mu Zhi’an’s embrace before slowly melting into his arms.

Although she was a little shy from the caresses of Mu Zhi’an’s mischievous right hand, she was also looking forward to it.

“Alright, alright, I’ll listen to whatever you say, my fairy sister,” Mu Zhi’an replied with a smile, appearing very obedient.

Of course, that was just talk.

After all, Yao Meng was still seen as an immortal in the eyes of the world. Even though she had awakened a special hobby now, she still had no experience in matters of love between men and women. Naturally, she wouldn’t be able to remain completely unfazed when teased by Mu Zhi’an.

But thinking about it, since confirming their relationship, they had hugged and kissed many times. Moreover, she was an empress who had lived for ages. Logically, she should be used to it by now…

Thinking of this, Mu Zhi’an couldn’t help but sigh in his heart: There aren’t many young girls left for me.

The only one he could think of who was younger than him was Qian’er.

Even Lingxuan had a past life as the Reincarnated Empress… Damn it, why does it feel like I’m driving a truck no matter who I’m with?!

Mu Zhi’an sighed inwardly, taking the opportunity to enjoy the soft texture of the Jade Empress’s fair and tender legs.

Seeing that Mu Zhi’an was not taking the hint, Yao Meng stopped trying to stop him and instead brought up the matter that he had just asked about.

“The border between the Eastern Continent and the Demon Realm is actually also known as the Land of Chaos. If there are any ruins there, it’s likely that the first immortal in the early days of Chaos once visited this place.”

“Immortal… meaning the first cultivator of the Immortal Ascension Realm?”

Hearing the word ‘immortal’ again, Mu Zhi’an was somewhat surprised.

He didn’t expect Ye Yu, this treasure-hunting rat, to be so lucky as to find such a relic.

Ye Yu must have a treasure map or something on him, otherwise, he wouldn’t be in such a hurry to go there.

Yao Meng nodded slightly. “There used to be rumors that in the Land of Chaos, there were things left behind by that immortal, and those things are related to the Heavenly Court.”

As she spoke, Yao Meng seemed to recall something and intentionally or unintentionally reminded him, “The path to immortality has now appeared. Although I don’t have much interest in the Heavenly Court, the Nine Provinces seem calm on the surface, but in reality, there are undercurrents surging.”

“Many people are now secretly deducing the next location where the path to immortality will appear. Although these matters have nothing to do with you, there will always be people who will take advantage of the chaos to do something. You must also know how to protect yourself.”

Mu Zhi’an’s Innate Celestial Furnace contained the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Court. Not many people knew about this, but anyone who did would definitely be interested in him.

She couldn’t always be there to protect him in secret. There would always be times when she needed to take care of matters in the Jade Pool Holy Land. These words were also a reminder to Mu Zhi’an not to let his guard down.

Mu Zhi’an nodded seriously. “Speaking of which, aren’t you interested in becoming an immortal, Fairy Sister?”

Yao Meng said indifferently, “Anyone would be interested in becoming an immortal, but it depends more on fate. If the time isn’t right, it’s useless to think about it.”

“Besides, with you here in the Nine Provinces, I wouldn’t be at ease leaving you alone to ascend.”

Mu Zhi’an was moved. He gently unfastened her sash and reached in, embracing her slender waist and gently kneading it twice. “If the Innate Celestial Furnace grows further in the future, I will find a way to help you become an immortal.”

Even such an ethereal fairy couldn’t help but blush slightly, scolding him with a glance. “If you continue like this, even I will get angry.”

“With our relationship, would you really punish me, Jade Empress? And didn’t you take the initiative several nights ago? Now it’s my turn to be proactive. Is that not allowed?” Mu Zhi’an said innocently.

He felt that the Jade Empress was exceptionally alluring tonight…

If it weren’t for the fact that his Senior Sister was coming to inquire about the details of today’s attack, he would have liked to unlock some new positions with Yao Meng, maybe even try out some deluxe ‘games’.

Yao Meng glanced sideways at Mu Zhi’an. It must be said that she was indeed a beauty, and even such a look was captivating.

“How about we play for a while now…?”

Dong!

Just as Mu Zhi’an was considering this, he suddenly heard the sound of the formation activating.

He looked up at the closed door, feeling a pang of regret.

It seemed that tonight wasn’t the night to try out new and indescribable activities with the Jade Empress. He would have to wait a few more days.

After taking his leave of Yao Meng, Mu Zhi’an left the room. Soon after, he saw Lan Mulian, who happened to be in front of the courtyard.

Mu Zhi’an smiled and greeted her, “Senior Sister, why have you come so late? Were you delayed by something on the way?”

Lan Mulian glanced at him lightly. “I was merely giving you some time to spend with Junior Sister Wei. It seems that you are finished now?”

Too smart for her own good… Mu Zhi’an smiled to hide his helplessness. “Come in and sit down, Senior Sister.”

Lan Mulian shook her head. “It’s late. It wouldn’t be good to disturb the two junior sisters’ meditation. Let’s take a walk outside and chat.”

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

Mu Zhi’an hummed in agreement and didn’t refuse, following Lan Mulian out of the courtyard.

It was late at night, and the two of them strolled along the path in the Jade Glass Palace, plum blossoms swaying in the cold wind.

Mu Zhi’an decided to get straight to the point. “Actually, if Senior Sister’s visit tonight is related to my attack, I have a favor to ask of you.”

Lan Mulian’s beautiful eyes showed a hint of doubt as she looked at Mu Zhi’an.

“I hope that Senior Sister can explain to the Enforcement Hall that I personally do not wish to pursue the matter of my attack, so that this matter can be resolved quietly before it escalates.”

Seemingly sensing Lan Mulian’s puzzled gaze, Mu Zhi’an continued with a smile, “I know that Senior Sister has many questions, but please believe me.”

This was naturally done for a reason.

Lan Mulian’s gaze turned cold as she looked at Mu Zhi’an. “There are only a few people who know about your attack. If you want to keep it quiet, you can. But what exactly are you trying to do?”

“With your personality, you should be the type to seek revenge for any grievance,” she continued.

Mu Zhi’an pondered for a moment and said, “The Holy Son from Yu State attacked a disciple of the Two Polarities Sect. This matter can be made small, but it can also be made big. If we pursue it, the sect will likely detain Xiao Hua, right?”

“But if that happens, there will inevitably be some gossip from Yu State. No matter what we do, someone will always use this to stir up trouble. Neither the sect nor the Pill Emperor wants to see that happen.”

“So you’re willing to let yourself suffer?” Lan Mulian frowned slightly.

Then, she quickly shook her head. “No, you’re not that kind of person… You want Luo Tan to owe you a favor?”

She knows me too well… Mu Zhi’an nodded slightly. “The Pill Emperor’s alchemy skills are at the pinnacle of the Nine Provinces. Many pills can only be refined by her. This favor will be useful in the future.”

Leaving Xiao Hua to be dealt with by Yu State was enough.

After all, after this incident, Luo Tan would definitely not trust Xiao Hua even a little bit. For Mu Zhi’an, his goal had been achieved.

Lan Mulian was silent for a while, and finally nodded silently. “Since Junior Brother has his own ideas, then so be it.”

“Thank you, Senior Sister.”

Mu Zhi’an’s eyes held a hint of a smile. Everything was proceeding smoothly according to plan.

Tomorrow, he would do Luo Tan another favor, and then the Tai Xu Pill for Ruoxi’s Nine-Tailed Fox evolution would be within reach.

Gong Lianyue’s Dao Integration Realm consciousness, combined with the Nine-Tailed Fox’s powerful spiritual energy, would make the future Bai Ruoxi perhaps the first in history to cultivate both demonic and human cultivation to their peak.

Most importantly, she would be a fox-eared beauty!

“Aren’t you going to blame me?” Lan Mulian hesitated for a moment and then asked softly.

That clear and melodious voice pulled Mu Zhi’an back to reality.

She was as cold and beautiful as winter snow, noble and elegant. If one ignored her tall and alluring figure, one would only think that this Senior Sister was as pure and flawless as frost and snow.

But it was precisely such a woman who had made a shocking and intimate gesture in front of all the disciples on the martial stage.

That was also a response to Bai Ruoxi and the others.

“Making that kind of intimate gesture towards you on the martial stage must have caused you a lot of trouble, right?” Lan Mulian asked.

Mu Zhi’an sighed softly but did not respond. Instead, he reached out and held Lan Mulian’s cool and slender hand.

She subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back, but Mu Zhi’an held it tightly, not giving her a chance to break free.

In this Nine Provinces where ‘protagonists’ ran rampant, Lan Mulian was currently the only one who did not have any enhancements but still stood at the forefront among her peers.

Mu Zhi’an never doubted Senior Sister’s talent. He even felt that even if she wasn’t a reincarnated Dao Integration expert, she would be able to achieve Dao Integration sooner or later.

From Tianxuan City until now, he had actually been ambiguous with Lan Mulian several times, but he had never crossed the line because he knew the proud nature of this pure and beautiful Senior Sister.

One couldn’t be too proactive, but one couldn’t be completely passive either. One had to know how to grasp the right balance.

One could pursue, but not lick. After all, just like a dick, the more you licked a woman’s heart, the harder it became.

And now was the right time to pursue.

“Senior Sister is truly beautiful,” Mu Zhi’an said softly, gently squeezing Lan Mulian’s soft hand and staring at her face, which was hidden under a veil.

Although it was not very clear, it added a touch of hazy charm.

Lan Mulian had nowhere to hide, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. Her pretty face gradually became hot.

However, she forced herself to calm down, raising her clear, cold eyes and calmly teasing, “How many girls has Junior Brother said this to?”

Mu Zhi’an didn’t answer, but sighed softly. “Senior Sister just asked if I blamed you for your intimate actions on the martial stage, right?”

“If I said I didn’t, that would be a lie. I even thought about taking revenge on you, Senior Sister.”

Lan Mulian was stunned. Even with her mature and steady temperament, she was momentarily at a loss for words when she heard Mu Zhi’an’s words.

What followed was a slight, dull pain in the depths of her heart.

Her long, curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and her beautiful eyes were filled with complexity as she lowered her gaze.

Silence filled the air between the two, leaving only the howling of the cold wind.

After a long silence, Lan Mulian lowered her gaze and subconsciously tried to pull her hand away from Mu Zhi’an’s.

At this moment, Mu Zhi’an suddenly raised his hand and gently lifted her veil.

In the dim light, that breathtakingly beautiful face was revealed, stunning at first sight.

Then, she suddenly felt a faint, warm breath gently caressing her cheek.

Lan Mulian raised her eyes slightly. Her beautiful eyes were calm, but beneath that calmness was a different kind of sorrow.

“Junior Brother, is there anything else…?” she asked softly.

She could actually break free from Mu Zhi’an’s grasp and leave now, but she was somewhat reluctant.

For some reason, she wanted to hear what else Mu Zhi’an had to say.

Mu Zhi’an reached out and embraced Lan Mulian’s slender waist, gazing at her and saying softly, “Actually, later on, I felt more joy. But even so, I still want to take revenge on you, Senior Sister.”

Lan Mulian’s beautiful eyes flickered. She raised her head and was about to speak.

But at this moment, Mu Zhi’an slowly lowered his head and kissed her on the right cheek, saying with a smile, “Now we’re even.”
