It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists-Chapter 352: Mengrou, My Dear Mengrou…

Even when Nascent Soul cultivators appeared behind those enemies, the old man within his body could easily handle them all.

Now, he was full of confidence, and his strength had even improved to a higher level. He vaguely felt as if he had touched a trace of Dao Rhyme.

If ordinary people knew about this, they would probably be shocked.

To have touched upon the Dao Rhyme that only Nascent Soul cultivators could touch while still in the Core Formation Realm, his future prospects were absolutely limitless!

“Teacher, where is this acquaintance you said you wanted me to meet?”

After traveling for a while, Ye Yu finally couldn’t help but ask.

On his way to the borderlands, Yao Shan had already told him that he had contacted an old acquaintance he had known in the past, and this person would help him obtain the treasures in the Chaos Lands.

He was favored by the Heavenly Dao, had the help of the old man within his body, and possessed exceptional talent… With all these advantages, Ye Yu was gradually emerging from the shadow of his previous defeat by Mu Zhi’an.

To Ye Yu, Mu Zhi’an was just a stepping stone on his path of cultivation. He could constantly obtain opportunities, while Mu Zhi’an couldn’t.

This time, he was determined to obtain the immortal inheritance in the Chaos Lands.

To do so, he needed to make a deal with the ‘old acquaintance’ his teacher had mentioned.

“He’s been behind you all along.”

At this moment, an aged voice came from within his body, causing Ye Yu’s heart to jump. He abruptly turned his head to look.

Appearing before his eyes was a thin man who looked as withered as a stick. His sinister eyes stared at Ye Yu, and a cold voice echoed in this area.

“Yao Shan, I didn’t expect you to still be alive. It’s been a long time.”

Ye Yu looked at the man in front of him with suspicion, and then his heart skipped a beat: A demonic cultivator?!

The aura emanating from this man was clearly demonic!

“Relax your body. I will control it to make the deal with him,” the old man in his body said.

Ye Yu’s eyes flickered, showing some hesitation.

It should be known that the Eastern Continent was quite hostile towards demonic cultivators, and Ye Yu was naturally one of them.

Moreover, this man looked sinister and clearly dangerous.

At this moment, Yao Shan said comfortingly, “There are no true enemies in these Nine Provinces. Even the Sect Master of the Two Polarities Sect, whom you know, has also cooperated with the Demon Empress.”

“You don’t have to worry. This person’s name is Fang Long, and he is the Third Elder of the Demon-Devouring Rhinoceros clan. In the past, when I was traveling the Nine Provinces, I happened to meet him, and we can be considered friends.”

Hearing this, Ye Yu gritted his teeth in secret and finally relaxed his body, allowing Yao Shan to control it.

He was the Chosen One and had obtained opportunities that ordinary people might never encounter in their entire lives several times. But he still found it difficult to close the gap between himself and Mu Zhi’an.

Right now, only by obtaining the inheritance and treasures in the Chaos Lands could he completely evolve and kill Mu Zhi’an.

To this end, it didn’t matter whether it was a cultivator or a demonic cultivator. As long as he could become stronger, that was enough!

“I didn’t expect the once-glorious Yao Shan to have fallen to such a state,” Fang Long stared at Ye Yu coldly, a faint smile on his face.

He could clearly feel that another consciousness within the black-robed young man had taken control of the body.

“This matter is in the past. There’s no need to mention it.”

“Instead of this, I want to make a deal with you,” Yao Shan said leisurely.

Fang Long narrowed his eyes and said with a faint smile, “If you were still the great alchemist of the past, that would be one thing. But now you don’t even have a body. What do you have to trade with me? And what do you want?”

“The Chaos Lands are rampant with demonic cultivators, and flames burn there all year round. If ordinary cultivators barge in directly, I’m afraid they won’t have enough lives.”

Yao Shan said slowly, “The Demon-Devouring Rhinoceros clan controls the borderlands. If you give the word… no one will object.”

Fang Long narrowed his eyes and smiled. “My Demon-Devouring Rhinoceros clan is not a top power in the Demon Realm, but we do have some influence. However, why should I help you?”

“Have you ever heard of the Calamity Body?”

Yao Shan asked with a chuckle, as if he had completely seen through this demonic cultivator.

Fang Long’s eyes flashed, but he remained silent.

However, his slightly moved expression was impossible to hide.

“The Calamity Body is a constitution punished by the Heavenly Dao. It does not belong within the rules of heaven and earth. In the past, one of the reasons why I wanted the Myriad Transformations Cauldron was to refine a pill that could shield one from the Heavenly Secrets.”

Shielding oneself from the Heavenly Secrets meant jumping out of the Heavenly Dao’s control and no longer being within the rules of heaven and earth.

If the Heavenly Dao sensed this, it would impose a heavenly punishment.

But which of the great powers in this world didn’t want to shield themselves from the Heavenly Secrets?

Shielding oneself from the Heavenly Secrets meant that future cultivation would no longer be restricted by the rules of heaven and earth. Whether it was Nascent Soul, Soul Transformation, or even Dao Integration, they wouldn’t be bound by this world.

However, that pill that could shield one from the Heavenly Secrets required the Myriad Transformations Cauldron and many other medicinal ingredients to be refined.

In the past, Yao Shan had wanted this pill, which was why he had taken the risk of trying to steal the Myriad Transformations Cauldron. As a result, he was discovered by Luo Tan and fled, injured.

If he hadn’t been lucky and left a trace of his consciousness hidden in a ring, there would probably be no Yao Shan in this world today.

Seeing that Fang Long was clearly tempted, Yao Shan continued, “The Demon-Devouring Rhinoceros clan holds great power in the borderlands. I heard that the Demon Empress is currently preparing for seclusion. Even if you let my disciple into the Chaos Lands, no one will dare to question it.”

“I can swear that after this is done, I will immediately offer the refining formula for that pill.”

“And if I obtain the Myriad Transformations Cauldron in the future, I can also refine it for you.”

The Demon-Devouring Rhinoceros clan was one of the demonic clans that guarded the borderlands. Without his teacher, it would be difficult to enter the Chaos Lands…

Hearing the conversation between the two, Ye Yu secretly rejoiced that he had picked up that worn-out ring in the past and awakened Yao Shan.

Thinking of this, Ye Yu’s eyes also flashed with a bit of coldness.

In fact, regarding the matter of Ye Qingxin, he had carefully considered it these past two days. Because of his teacher’s reminder, he realized his mistake. He had actually vented his anger on his ancestor because he had been provoked by Mu Zhi’an, even making her feel heartbroken.

However, he was a descendant of the Ye family. If he wanted to make amends, that ancestor should forgive him.

However, even if he was forgiven, the relationship that had already been cracked could never be fully repaired. The estrangement between them would only grow bigger and bigger.

But even if there was estrangement, his ancestor was still his person. Mu Zhi’an, an outsider, had no right to interfere!

The treasures in the Chaos Lands would be a turning point in his growth and the first step in making his ancestor look at him in a new light.

Ye Yu’s heart was filled with anticipation. At this moment, Fang Long was silent for a moment, then suddenly and casually said, “Some time ago, I heard that the Imperial Advisor of the Great Qian Dynasty, for the sake of a woman, did not hesitate to risk offending the Two Polarities Sect and tried to take her away. Is that true?”

Yao Shan nodded slightly. “The woman you mentioned is a maid of a disciple of the Two Polarities Sect. She is the Calamity Body, and her talent is extremely terrifying.”

Although he had been in Ye Yu’s body all this time, he still generally knew what was happening in the outside world.

Although he didn’t know Wei Mengrou’s identity, he knew that the reason why Gu Buxing wanted the Calamity Body was probably for a similar purpose of shielding himself from the Heavenly Secrets.

“Interesting, interesting…”

Fang Long muttered to himself, then a cold smile appeared on his resolute face. He looked up and said, “The deal between you and me is done.”

The two did not notice that a faint ripple had appeared in the space not far from them…

…

If it were in the past, Mu Zhi’an probably wouldn’t have known what was happening here.

But at this moment, through the information conveyed by the Void Nightmare, he had a general idea of what they were saying.

“Shielding oneself from the Heavenly Secrets can cause the Heavenly Dao to retaliate, adding misfortune to oneself. But it also means that cultivation is no longer restricted by the rules of heaven and earth… Although I already knew this, why does Yao Shan also know?”

“Could it be that he knows something that happened to Sister Mengrou in the past?”

Mu Zhi’an heard the information reported by the Void Nightmare in his mind, and his eyes also showed a thoughtful look.

In Mu Zhi’an’s arms, a graceful figure lay on the bed, her hair loose, her face flushed with a drunken blush, looking extremely charming.

She held Mu Zhi’an’s back tightly with both hands, her misty and moist eyes looking at him in confusion, tilting her head slightly. “What’s wrong?”

It seemed that only at this time would Wei Mengrou not show her usual cold and aloof attitude to the world, nor would she hide her heart. Instead, she would reveal a shy side of a girl to the fullest, looking extremely alluring.

“Ye Yu has already reached the borderlands and is making some kind of deal with a demon cultivator from the Demon Realm,” Mu Zhi’an said.

“Back then, Ye Yu used the accusation of being a demon cultivator to cause trouble for you several times. Now, he himself has cooperated with a demon cultivator?”

Wei Mengrou’s beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. It seemed that she had forgotten about Mu Zhi’an’s hand that was causing trouble under the covers, or perhaps she had become accustomed to Mu Zhi’an’s mischief after the recent intimacy.

After a brief moment of contemplation, her beautiful eyes looked at Mu Zhi’an, and her red lips parted slightly as she whispered, “What are you going to do next?”

“What do you mean, what am I going to do?” Mu Zhi’an asked, puzzled.

Wei Mengrou frowned slightly and said, “Are you planning to set off for the borderlands… Hmm~”

Her clear and charming voice suddenly came to a halt, and Wei Mengrou suddenly covered her small mouth.

Mu Zhi’an exhaled in her ear and whispered, “This kind of thing is too distracting. What we should do now is to transfer the luck of the Innate Celestial Furnace to you first. As for other things, we’ll talk about them later.”

“You… Don’t you worry that he will enter the Chaos Lands first… and obtain the treasures inside?” Wei Mengrou suppressed the throbbing in her heart, feeling both shy and resentful as she glared at Mu Zhi’an.

“What are you saying? You have to call me Master,” Mu Zhi’an gently patted Wei Mengrou’s thigh.

Wei Mengrou gave Mu Zhi’an a disdainful look, not wanting to pay attention to him, and turned her head away.

A strand of scattered hair rested on her rosy lips, concealing her flushed face.

The room fell into a brief silence. Mu Zhi’an didn’t say anything, just held her, but remained motionless, as if he was in a stalemate with her.

Wei Mengrou seemed a little uncomfortable, her legs shifting, her delicate face showing a blush of shyness. She seemed unwilling to give in, biting her lip, but from time to time, she would secretly glance at him through her hair.

After a long while, a very soft and gentle voice came from the room. “Mas… Master…”

“Hehe, Mengrou, my dear Mengrou… you’re so cute.”

Mu Zhi’an chuckled, satisfied, and kissed her lips, then pulled up the blanket.

Wei Mengrou’s eyes were misty as she looked at the ceiling. She could clearly feel that something seemed to be surging within her body, something vast and terrifying.

And as this energy surged in, it seemed to indirectly affect her bad luck.

In the next room, Lin Ling yawned, bored, covering her small mouth. Tears welled up in her eyes.

She dangled her fair feet, tilted her head, and rested it on the table, her finger gently poking the Eight Treasure Crane that was tied up and thrown on the table.

Because Mu Zhi’an had been busy recently, she usually went out to find food and someone to feed her. Today, when she went out, she happened to pass by Boundless Sea Peak, so she simply caught an Eight Treasure Crane.

She originally wanted to ask Mu Zhi’an for help, but she could vaguely sense the abundant spiritual energy in the next room, so she didn’t disturb him at the moment.

At this moment, Lin Ling’s eyes suddenly moved slightly, as if she had sensed something. She blinked, and her bright red eyes, which were full of stars, looked at the room next door in confusion.

After looking for a while, she couldn’t help but tilt her head slightly.

“Aaa?”

To ordinary people, it seemed that there was no strange change, but in Lin Ling’s eyes, at this moment, in the room where Mu Zhi’an was, the luck of the two people was clearly reflected in her eyes.

In the past, Wei Mengrou’s luck was a deep black, but at this moment, the luck emanating from her body was gradually changing…
