It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists-Chapter 354: The Jade Empress Isn’t Home Today

This was an almost impossible feat. If successful, it would be recorded in the annals of history.

After all, even Dao Integration experts found it difficult to ascend.

In the past history of the Nine Provinces, there had been several instances where Dao Integration experts forcibly opened the path to immortality, attempting to blast open the gates of the Heavenly Court and ascend, only to perish on the path.

Although it was just a legend, it was not difficult to imagine how difficult it was to ascend to the Heavenly Court.

Moreover, Ye Qingxin wanted to bring the entire Ye family with her to create an ancient immortal clan.

As for why she had the idea of a clan ascension, it was firstly because the elders of the clan had taken good care of her in the past, and Ye Qingxin had a deep affection for the Ye family. Secondly, since achieving Dao Integration, she had no desires and wanted to leave something behind.

Over the past ten thousand years, the elders of the Ye family had all passed away one by one. Only Ye Qingxin, who had integrated with the ‘Human’ Dao, achieved the supreme Dao Fruit and stood above the world.

As the only surviving ancestor of the Ye family, and given her own feelings for the family, it was not strange that she had such a thought.

After all, since her Dao Integration, the only thing she had left was her feelings for her clan members… The path of cultivation was long, and she always remembered those who had treated her well in the past.

It was precisely because she distinguished between gratitude and resentment that Ye Yu’s attitude made Ye Qingxin feel extremely disappointed.

Fortunately, as Mu Zhian said, not all Ye family members were like that. It was just that Ye Yu, because he had the help of a powerful being within him, had become arrogant and spoiled.

However…

Didn’t Mu Zhian also have a protector? And not just one, but he had never shown any arrogance and was always respectful to his elders.

However, the more modest and gentle Mu Zhian was, the more alluring he became.

It made one want to take this modesty and gentleness for oneself.

The sound coming from his ear was moist and enticing, filled with a seductive intent that made even a seasoned veteran like Mu Zhian feel a little overwhelmed.

Seeing Mu Zhian’s hesitant expression, a look of “But I can’t let the Jade Empress down,” Ye Qingxin couldn’t help but curve her lips slightly.

“Actually, you don’t have to feel sorry. Don’t forget, you and I had an agreement. Before your Soul Transformation Realm, I will try my best to protect you. This time, using the secret technique to help you is helping you, and also helping myself.”

The problem is you’re eyeing my body. After using the secret technique, you intend to do something untoward to me. But I really don’t have a drop left today… Mu Zhian said reservedly, “Actually, I don’t think there’s any rush for the Dao Heart Pill. Even if I refine it slowly, it doesn’t matter.”

As he spoke, he hesitated for a moment. “And Ye Yu seems to care about you very much, Senior. Although he quarreled with you, if he comes back to the Two Polarities Sect and finds out that you’ve been treating me so well… What if he gets angry?”

“There’s no need to mention Ye Yu’s matter. Do you think I need his permission to do what I want?”

When Ye Yu was mentioned, a trace of coldness flashed across Ye Qingxin’s stunningly beautiful red eyes, but her tone was extremely indifferent.

Then, she glanced at Mu Zhian and suddenly asked casually, “You’re being so evasive, could it be that you dislike me?”

Mu Zhian said helplessly, “Senior is misunderstanding. It’s just that I’m worried that your consciousness will be damaged because of this.”

Ye Qingxin raised an eyebrow, leaned lazily against the railing behind her, her long, slender legs crossed, her hands folded across her chest, and chuckled. “Not to mention that I’m just a wisp of consciousness, even if I disappear, it doesn’t matter. Moreover, even if it’s just a wisp of consciousness, it’s no less than a Nascent Soul cultivator at their peak. It won’t disappear so easily.”

“And there aren’t many people I know in the Nine Provinces now. I’m afraid that even if this wisp of consciousness disappears one day, no one will know.”

When she said this, her eyes revealed an incomparably lonely look.

Everyone envied and marveled at the Ye family ancestor’s Dao Integration and ascension, but they didn’t know that although Dao Integration experts seemed to be powerful, they also had the sadness of watching their loved ones pass away one by one as their lifespans came to an end.

Now, there was no one in the Ye family who knew her.

Mu Zhian said sincerely, “I and Qian’er and the others all respect Senior very much. We don’t want Senior to just leave like this. If possible, we still hope that Senior can take care of yourself.”

Ye Qingxin’s beautiful face revealed a charming smile, and her enchanting, beautiful red eyes were captivating. She teased, “The so-called respect is to tear other people’s dresses to pieces in a fantasy?”

Can we just let this go already… Mu Zhian said helplessly, “People always have a dark side. Besides, the test of the Celestial Realm will infinitely amplify a person’s desires.”

Ye Qingxin glanced at him, her eyes alluring, her fingers gently resting on her red lips, as if intentionally or unintentionally, she said, “Then, what if I give you this chance?”

“I mean… What if I give you a chance to let your desires run wild?”

Her tone was casual, but the words she spoke were filled with endless temptation.

Mu Zhian was stunned, staring at the beautiful ancestor’s alluring red eyes.

If you put it that way, I’m all in…

“Then I’ll have to trouble Senior.”

After a brief moment of contemplation, Mu Zhi’an finally accepted Ye Qingxin’s assistance.

A Dao Integration expert, even if it was just a wisp of consciousness, was incredibly powerful, no less than a Nascent Soul cultivator at their peak. Moreover, once the Dao Heart Pill was refined, his Innate Celestial Furnace would be able to evolve again, and it might be able to accommodate two Dao Integration experts.

…

Vast and terrifying spiritual energy filled the room, and the room was filled with a brilliant glow. Mu Zhi’an sat cross-legged on the soft couch, his white robe seeming to glow with endless brilliance, like an immortal descending to the mortal world, his appearance handsome and divine.

He could feel that the effects of the Dao Heart Pill, which had been residing in his Innate Celestial Furnace, were rapidly refining along with Ye Qingxin’s secret technique. At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before it was completely refined.

If any female cultivator were here, they would be shocked, because when Ye Qingxin used her secret technique, the spiritual energy of Mu Zhi’an’s Innate Celestial Furnace gradually filled the room. All kinds of rare medicinal herbs, Heavenly Dao energy, and even the effects of emperor-grade medicinal herbs flowed in the spiritual energy.

The divinity contained in this spiritual energy, as long as one refined just one strand, would be comparable to an ordinary cultivator cultivating for dozens of days. Moreover, this spiritual energy was far more than just one strand.

Even though she already knew about the special nature of Mu Zhi’an’s Innate Celestial Furnace, Ye Qingxin couldn’t help but be secretly surprised.

Although the spiritual energy in this Innate Celestial Furnace was not very effective for her now, one must know that it was only at the Core Formation Realm that it could have a slight effect on a Dao Integration expert. This was a terrifying concept.

Even without the help of my secret technique, his speed of refining pills is still very fast… If this child were a descendant of the Ye family, that would be great.

Ye Qingxin’s eyes carried a trace of admiration, but she also felt a bit of regret again.

But soon, she chuckled softly.

Speaking of which, it was a good thing that he wasn’t a descendant of the Ye family.

If Mu Zhi’an were a descendant of the Ye family, it would be inconvenient… After all, it wouldn’t sound good.

With the activation of the secret technique, a resplendent golden light illuminated the entire room. That golden light was mixed with a bit of black flame, appearing extremely gorgeous.

After nearly half an hour, the spiritual energy that filled the ground rippled like water droplets falling on a lake.

Mu Zhi’an slowly opened his eyes, which were brighter than ever before, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

In just half an hour, most of the Dao Heart Pill in his body had been refined. The remaining small portion of the medicinal effect could be completely refined within three days, even if left alone.

At this moment, Mu Zhi’an could feel that his Innate Celestial Furnace had expanded by nearly half compared to before!

If the effects of the Dao Heart Pill were completely refined, the Innate Celestial Furnace might be much larger than it was now.

“Thank you, Senior!” Mu Zhi’an bowed.

Although he was a little worried that Ye Qingxin would be weakened by using the secret technique, it seemed that he was overthinking it.

Ye Qingxin didn’t seem to be affected at all at this moment. Her body was almost flawless, without any imperfections.

Her long, flowing hair was draped over her back, and between her hair, there seemed to be sparks of fire, paired with the black and red dress that clung to her graceful figure, outlining a beauty that surpassed all others.

“After a while, the effects of the Dao Heart Pill will be fully utilized. Even without my help, your speed of refining pills is very fast. You don’t need to thank me.”

Ye Qingxin sat on a chair nearby, her black and red dress, her small embroidered shoes dangling, her black-painted fingertips resting on her red lips, a faint smile on her face.

“Even so, I still have to thank Senior for your care. If there’s anything I can do to help in the future, please don’t hesitate to ask,” Mu Zhi’an began to hint.

There were some things he could do, but he couldn’t say.

He had to wait for Ye Qingxin to say it.

After all, he couldn’t be sure if Ye Qingxin’s alluring words earlier were to test his character or if she really had such thoughts.

Ye Qingxin glanced at him, her eyes playful as she looked at Mu Zhi’an. “After using the secret technique, my consciousness will indeed weaken. After all, this is not my true body, and the spiritual energy a wisp of consciousness can absorb is limited.”

“But if I use the spiritual energy of the Innate Celestial Furnace as my own, there won’t be such a restriction.”

“However, I just saw that the spiritual energy in your Innate Celestial Furnace has been greatly depleted. It seems that you were busy before I came?”

As she spoke, her red-painted fingertips gently moved, casually lifting a corner of her dress, revealing her fair and slender legs.

Her fair skin seemed to have sparks scattered on it, emitting a breathtaking beauty, like a sacred flame that could not be profaned.

“The Ascension Ceremony is coming soon. To ensure that the Eastern Continent can achieve the final victory this time, I have to put in some effort.”

Mu Zhi’an sat beside Ye Qingxin without changing his expression and sniffed slightly. He could vaguely smell a faint fragrance of roses.

He gently placed a hand on Ye Qingxin’s beautiful leg and whispered, “Senior’s descent to the lower realm this time is for the Ye family’s ascension, but you have used your secret technique twice for me. If your spiritual consciousness dissipates because of this, this junior will probably feel guilty for the rest of his life.”

Ye Qingxin’s beautiful face revealed a faint smile, and she glanced at him with a subtle, gentle gaze. “Last time, you could say that you couldn’t control your desires during the assessment in the Celestial Realm, but now you’re not in the assessment.”

Mu Zhi’an maintained a smile. “Although it’s not the assessment in the Celestial Realm and my desires aren’t infinitely amplified, Senior Ye sitting here is even more moving than the one in my previous fantasy.”

Ye Qingxin’s red lips curled up slightly. She looked at Mu Zhi’an and gently raised her fingers, resting them on the sash that outlined her slender waist.

She gently pulled the sash, and Mu Zhi’an’s gaze was drawn to it.

However, Ye Qingxin did not continue to pull the sash. Instead, she turned her head slightly, and her alluring red eyes showed a hint of teasing.

She leaned close to Mu Zhi’an’s ear and whispered in a soft and beautiful voice, “Do you think that if your Jade Empress knows that you and the ancestor of the Ye family are being intimate in a room, what will she do?”

Mu Zhi’an just imagined it for a moment and couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

If the Jade Empress found out, he might have to spend some time with the Pure World Vines in the depths of the Jade Pool Holy Land.

Although Yao Meng didn’t seem to care much about the little fishes in Mu Zhi’an’s fish pond, she was still very wary of a ‘sea dragon’ like Ye Qingxin who was similar to her.

Just imagining that scene and feeling the soft and delicate sensation in his hand, Mu Zhi’an couldn’t help but feel a palpitation and… a faint excitement.

“But if you were to report to the Jade Empress about what happened between you and me tonight, she might not blame you in the future. Instead, she might think that it was my fault for seducing you,” Ye Qingxin suddenly said casually.

These words seemed to carry a dangerous meaning.

“Please rest assured, Senior. This junior will not speak carelessly and will definitely keep this secret,” Mu Zhi’an vowed.

What a joke. Even if nothing happened between him and Ye Qingxin tonight, speaking about such things would have more disadvantages than advantages.

Moreover, Ye Qingxin had indeed treated him very well. It could be said that this was a secret between the two of them… Sharing a common secret was one of the fastest ways to strengthen a relationship.

At this moment, a charming chuckle echoed in the room. “Secrets, throughout history, have never been kept. I don’t think you can keep it forever, unless… you also participate in this secret.”

Her voice was soft and sexy, yet also carried a hint of coldness.

It seemed that only at this moment did Ye Qingxin shed the pretense of a powerful being from the Heavenly Court in people’s eyes. What was revealed was Ye Qingxin’s true nature.

Both pure and seductive, exuding an irresistible temptation.

“Have I not already participated in this secret by talking with Senior for so long tonight?” Mu Zhi’an asked, puzzled.

Although they hadn’t done anything tonight, it should be known that one of the ‘mistresses’, Yao Meng, was not at home. Ye Qingxin had taken advantage of the situation and had an ambiguous relationship with Mu Zhi’an.

If this were placed in a drama from his previous life, it would definitely be an NTR plot!

Ye Qingxin chuckled softly. “That’s not considered participation yet.”

She gently brought her jade legs together, pressing Mu Zhi’an’s face against them, and kissed his lips with her small, red mouth.

The room seemed to suddenly fall silent, with only the flickering candlelight.

After a moment, Ye Qingxin gently exhaled a sweet fragrance, her red eyes moist and affectionate, extremely alluring.

“Now, we are accomplices.”

“Remember to keep this secret, little guy.”
