It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists-Chapter 351: The First Kill of the Chosen One p1

Ye Lingxuan clearly didn’t believe him and glanced at him sideways. “You hadn’t read that book when you and Sister Ruoxi got together, right? But you were already doing this with her.”

Ruoxi told you about that…? Does she not know it’s inappropriate to discuss such things with young girls?! Mu Zhi’an’s heart skipped a beat.

“What are you trying to explain?”

At this moment, Ye Lingxuan paused slightly, a faint blush appearing on her pale face, her voice suddenly much softer. “Even if you’re a pervert, I still like you.”

As she spoke, her pretty toes curled slightly, and she shyly turned her head away.

Even Mu Zhi’an couldn’t resist Lingxuan’s bashful posture. He took Ye Qian’s soft hand, then had Ye Lingxuan bend her legs on the bed and rest the back of her head on his lap, closing his eyes contentedly.

Indeed, there was no need for him to explain… It didn’t matter if they thought he was a pervert.

As long as he could enjoy himself with these two beautiful sisters, that was enough.

This was the leisurely life he had always pursued.

After a while, the three of them rested together under the covers, Mu Zhi’an nestled between the two warm and delicate bodies, enjoying their fragrance and the lingering sensation of the Spiritual Energy exchanged earlier. He let out a satisfied sigh.

“Speaking of which, Brother Mu, didn’t the Jade Empress stop you from coming to see me and Qian’er today?” Ye Lingxuan suddenly asked, holding Mu Zhi’an’s arm.

“The Jade Pool Holy Maiden lost today, so she probably went to see Yao Yue,” Mu Zhi’an said.

“Sister Yao Yue?”

Thinking of that Holy Maiden of the Jade Pool, Ye Lingxuan couldn’t help but sigh. “If it weren’t for the Desolate Time Lock, I wouldn’t have been able to win against her so easily.”

“Sister Yao Yue didn’t inherit the Jade Pool Holy Land’s ancestral artifact, and she doesn’t have Brother Mu’s… assistance. If her opponent wasn’t you, Sister, she wouldn’t have lost,” Ye Qian whispered.

At the mention of ‘assistance’, even Ye Lingxuan looked at Mu Zhi’an with a strange expression.

She had only dual cultivated with Mu Zhi’an a few times, but her realm had already improved by leaps and bounds, and she had even grasped a sliver of Dao Rhyme… If Brother Mu had also assisted the Jade Pool Holy Maiden, today’s battle would probably have been very difficult.

Ye Qian seemed to have the same thought as her sister. She hugged Mu Zhi’an’s arm tightly, letting him feel the warmth of her body.

Sensing the gazes of the two beautiful sisters fixed on him, Mu Zhi’an couldn’t help but feel a little apprehensive. “Why are you staring at me like that…?”

“If outsiders knew that your Innate Celestial Furnace evolves with your realm, and that the Spiritual Energy within isn’t from the Nine Provinces but from the Heavenly Court, and that you even possess Dao Seeds and Heavenly Dao Energy, would they all come and bother you?” Ye Lingxuan suddenly asked.

He couldn’t tell them that both Ye Qingxin and Luo Tan had shown great interest in him after learning about his secrets.

“The Innate Celestial Furnace is an important secret. Besides those close to me, not many people know about it, so you don’t have to worry,” Mu Zhi’an said softly, reassuring them, one arm around Ye Lingxuan, his other hand caressing Ye Qian.

Boom!

Just as this slightly dangerous topic ended, and as Mu Zhi’an was enjoying the warmth of the two girls, a deafening thunderclap suddenly echoed through the quiet night, followed by a flash of lightning.

Ye Lingxuan looked up, surprised. “A pill tribulation?”

“It seems to be coming from the Southern Bank. Is it the Holy Son or Holy Maiden of Yu State refining pills again?” Ye Qian guessed.

However, even alchemists wouldn’t refine pills for two or three days in a row. After all, it required a great deal of energy.

Mu Zhi’an played with Ye Qian’s soft hand and said softly, “I don’t think it’s them.”

Ye Lingxuan’s slender fingers gently caressed Mu Zhi’an’s face, and she tilted her head. “How do you know, Brother Mu?”

“I’m guessing.”

Mu Zhi’an chuckled. “There’s going to be a good show soon.”

He got out of bed, lit a candle, and started writing on a paper crane Lan Mulian had given him.

“What are you doing, Brother Mu?”

Ye Lingxuan, wrapped in a blanket, snuggled against her sister, watching him curiously.

“Just in case. I need to ask for a favor.”

He folded the paper crane and sent it flying towards Two Polarities Peak.

“I need to go out for a bit. I’ll be back later.”

He said a few more words to the sisters, then changed his clothes and flew towards Luo Tan’s palace on his sword.

…

The Heart-Peeking Pill. Just from its name, it wasn’t difficult to guess its effects.

Although it was only a sixth-grade pill, it was actually similar to the Qi Observation Technique.

However, the Qi Observation Technique could only detect whether a person was lying, while the Heart-Peeking Pill, after being consumed, could see through a person’s essence, including their consciousness.

From the moment Mu Zhi’an had intentionally or unintentionally mentioned a treasure that could conceal one’s consciousness, this Pill Emperor of Yu State had already become suspicious of Xiao Hua.

Originally, Xiao Hua’s attack on a sect disciple was a foolish act. If it was added that he had possessed another person’s body… then death would not be enough to atone for his sins.

At this moment, beside Luo Tan, stood a gray-robed woman.

Her eyes were filled with complexity. “Your Majesty, is what you said true?”

Her younger brother, Xiao Hua, was indeed no longer her original younger brother…?

Towards Xiao Hua, Xiao Shuixian actually felt more guilt and remorse.

Although she had been completely unaware of her stepmother’s actions in the past, after growing up, the Divine King Bone had already become a part of her. If she forcibly returned the Divine King Bone to Xiao Hua, neither her brother nor herself would be able to survive.

Because of this, she had secretly arranged for people to protect her brother, to make up for her guilt.

But who would have thought that Her Majesty would tell her that her brother had been possessed…

Luo Tan stood up from the tea chair. The texture of black silk faintly appeared between her white dress and knee-high boots. However, this usually easygoing Pill Emperor now had a cold look in her beautiful eyes.

“At first, I didn’t believe it either, which is why I had Jing Xi prepare the ingredients for the Heart-Peeking Pill. And just now, before refining the pill, I went to see him again, and I faintly discovered a consciousness that did not belong to Xiao Hua.”

Luo Tan softly revealed the truth, “There are likely two consciousnesses within Xiao Hua’s body. One is Xiao Hua’s lingering obsession, and the other… is a consciousness that does not belong to Xiao Hua and is occupying his body.”

Boom!

The moment the words fell, Xiao Shuixian’s mind felt as if it had been struck by a clear sky thunderbolt, and she froze in place, stunned.

Then, her expression gradually turned ice-cold, and the slight rise and fall of her ample chest indicated her anger.

Her younger brother had been possessed by an unfamiliar consciousness without her knowledge, and he had even called her sister?

“Speaking of which, I should thank you for this. After we return to Yu State, I will send someone to the Zunyun Academy to reward you,” Luo Tan said.

However, Xiao Shuixian shook her head and said, “To be honest, it was Young Master Mu who first mentioned this matter. It was only then that I began to suspect Xiao Hua…”

If it hadn’t been for that day when she was chatting with Young Master Mu and he happened to mention the strange behavior of Xiao Hua refining pills, she probably wouldn’t have suspected Xiao Hua, let alone thought that he was no longer the original Xiao Hua.

Luo Tan looked meaningfully at Xiao Shuixian and said softly, “Cherish your relationship with Young Master Mu.”

Xiao Shuixian’s talent was even higher than that of the Holy Son and Holy Maiden of Yu State, but no matter how talented a cultivator was, they couldn’t compare to the value of Mu Zhi’an.

Xiao Shuixian nodded gently. “I know. I owe Mu Zhi’an a favor this time, and I will definitely find a way to repay him in the future.”

“The cherishing I’m referring to is not this.”

Luo Tan chuckled, her black silk-clad legs in white boots gently swaying, her slender fingers tapping on the armrest of the chair. However, she did not directly enlighten Xiao Shuixian any further.

It wasn’t until today’s match between Ye Lingxuan and the Jade Pool Holy Maiden that she finally saw some clues.

There were many talented geniuses, and Xiao Shuixian was among the best.

However, Mu Zhi’an’s existence itself was a special existence that other geniuses couldn’t compare to.

If she guessed correctly, those exceptionally talented women in this Ascension Ceremony had probably all had intimate contact with Mu Zhi’an.

As for the reason…

She herself was an Innate Celestial Furnace, so how could she not know how much benefit an Innate Celestial Furnace could bring to the opposite sex?

However, she didn’t explain it too clearly to Xiao Shuixian.

Everything should happen naturally.

As for Mu Zhi’an…

In fact, she could tell that although Mu Zhi’an appeared respectful on the surface, he would occasionally sneak glances at her body.

In the past and present, there were very few people who dared to gaze at the the Pill Emperor like this, or even had such thoughts.

“Your Majesty said that you owe Mu Zhi’an a favor for his reminder. Doesn’t that mean you owe him a favor…?” Xiao Shuixian suddenly remembered something and asked tentatively.

“If I owe him, then I owe him. He was attacked by Xiao Hua and even wronged himself. I do indeed feel guilty. It’s fine to repay him in the future.”

Luo Tan answered indifferently.

Even Xiao Shuixian couldn’t help but feel a little envious when she heard this.

A favor from the Pill Emperor of Yu State… This was an opportunity that countless people couldn’t get even if they tried their best.

If Mu Zhi’an made good use of this favor in the future, its value would be immeasurable in spirit stones.

“I think Young Master Mu is very intelligent. He will likely make a suitable request,” Xiao Shuixian said.

“We’ll see how he uses this favor in the future,” Luo Tan chuckled.

As the two were chatting, a maid hurried into the hall and said, “Your Majesty, Mu Zhi’an is requesting an audience outside the hall.”

Luo Tan glanced faintly. “Let him in.”

Under the maid’s guidance, Mu Zhi’an soon arrived at the hall.

“Miss Xiao is also here. What a coincidence,” Mu Zhi’an said in surprise, looking at the woman in the gray robe.

Xiao Shuixian smiled faintly. “It’s so late, Young Master Mu. Is there something important?”

“Is it because of this?”

Before Mu Zhi’an could speak, Luo Tan took out a round, smooth pill from her sleeve.

The Heart-Peeking Pill!

Seeing the pill, Xiao Shuixian’s eyes changed slightly, and she became more complicated and didn’t speak again.

She was well aware of what this pill meant.

“It seems that Senior Luo Tan and I have the same idea,” Mu Zhi’an said softly, gazing into Luo Tan’s beautiful eyes.

Luo Tan shook her head gently. “If it weren’t for Young Friend Mu’s unintentional reminder today, I might not have thought of this.”

Xiao Shuixian’s gaze intentionally or unintentionally looked towards Mu Zhi’an.

She had seen many young talents in the past, and she had also seen gentle and elegant young men like Mu Zhi’an. But for some reason, she always felt that there was an indescribable charm about him that attracted her.

She still didn’t know what it was.

It stands to reason that she shouldn’t be someone who only cares about appearances… She just felt that the spiritual energy emanating from him was very attractive.

Luo Tan, who was also leaning on the seat, was also looking at Mu Zhi’an. She was dressed in a luxurious white dress, with a noble temperament, and looked at him with a somewhat playful look, as if she could see through his body to the location of the Innate Celestial Furnace.

Why do I feel like this woman is peeking at my body… Even Mu Zhi’an felt a little uncomfortable being stared at like this. He respectfully said, “This junior thinks we don’t need to rush to use the Heart-Peeking Pill.”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Shuixian’s eyes couldn’t help but show a bit of doubt.

“I can sense tonight’s pill tribulation, and so can Brother Xiao. If he has no ghosts in his heart, he won’t react.”

Luo Tan said leisurely, “If he has a guilty conscience, he will want to escape, right?”

Mu Zhi’an bowed. “Senior is indeed a person of great wisdom. You saw through this junior’s thoughts at a glance.”

Let’s not talk about anything else. If there’s a chance to suck up, then suck up first.

Luo Tan nodded slightly, her eyes showing a bit of appreciation.

Aside from his realm, this Mu Zhi’an’s temperament and wisdom were really good, and he knew how to please people.

The Jade Empress really has a discerning eye… Luo Tan said, “Then, as Young Friend Mu says, let’s have some tea first and wait and see what happens.”

…

In the dimly lit room, a young man suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them.

“It seems that Luo Tan already suspects me…”

“It must be Mu Zhi’an! That damned bastard, what did he say to Luo Tan?!”

Recalling how Luo Tan had approached him again today, almost discovering his true, dominant consciousness, Xiao Hua’s eyes filled with hatred.

Originally, Luo Tan had already dismissed her suspicions about him today. But after Mu Zhi’an’s visit, she ordered her maid to prepare the ingredients for the Heart-Peeking Pill… It was obvious that Mu Zhi’an must have whispered something in her ear.

“Fortunately, I happened to see that the maid was preparing the Heart-Peeking Pill today. Otherwise, I would have been completely in the dark, and I wouldn’t even know how I died.”

Thinking of this, Xiao Hua felt a lingering fear, secretly rejoicing in his luck.

“No matter what, I definitely can’t stay in the Two Polarities Sect any longer. I must leave here as soon as possible, before they make a move…”

Thinking of this, Xiao Hua took out a piece of sheepskin map from his sleeve.

This was the treasure map that could store a person’s consciousness. And the location of this map fragment, according to his observations over the past two days, seemed to be at the junction of the Eastern Continent and the Demon Realm, a relic called the Chaos Lands.

Right now, he could only go there first and quickly improve his strength. Only then could he control his own destiny.

As for Mu Zhi’an… This grudge, I will definitely repay it a hundredfold in the future!

Thinking of this, Xiao Hua immediately put away the fragment of the sheepskin map, hurriedly got up, and left the room. After confirming that no one was around, he immediately transformed into a streak of light and fled, heading straight out of the Two Polarities Sect.
