It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists

The Dao Integration Realm was completely isolated from the world. From the outside, there was no abnormality at all, as if this realm didn’t exist in space.

No flowers, plants, or trees could be seen around. Within the formation, faint ripples of Spiritual Energy seemed to undulate. A captivating woman gazed at him, her beautiful eyes serene.

Her raven-black dress, embroidered with gold and silver threads, accentuated her nobility. As the cold wind blew, her dress fluttered behind her, perfectly outlining her voluptuous and elegant figure.

Undoubtedly, Mu Wanwan was indeed a great beauty… However, Mu Zhian’s focus at this moment wasn’t on admiring her beauty, but staring blankly at those pale golden eyes.

He had a strong sense of déjà vu.

Not only were those eyes incredibly familiar, but even the cup size looked familiar…

Of course, now wasn’t the time to think about such things. Mu Zhian knew he was standing at a crucial crossroads in his life.

If he didn’t handle this well, he might be sent straight to the little black room.

Sensing Sister Jade Empress’s half-smiling gaze, Mu Zhian coughed lightly and said, “Have you finished handling matters at the Jade Pool Holy Land?”

“Aaa…” She made a confused sound, looking curiously at Mu Wanwan, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Despite her thoughts, she consciously moved aside, not disturbing the current ‘harmony’, rummaged through her deerskin pouch, and took out a meat bun wrapped in wax paper.

All she needed was a chair and a stool to become a spectator.

A faint smile appeared on Yao Meng’s lips as she looked at the young man: “It’s not really a matter of handling. With the Jade Pool Holy Mother at the Jade Pool Holy Land, I only need to make the final decisions.”

“Compared to those trivial matters at the Jade Pool Holy Land, you are more concerning to me.”

“If I hadn’t come today, I probably wouldn’t have had the chance to see her.”

Towards the end of her words, Yao Meng gracefully stepped into the void beside Mu Zhian, gently placing her hands on his shoulders.

She looked up, a smile blooming on her holy and flawless beautiful face: “Right, Miss Ex-Girlfriend?”

Mu Zhian’s scalp tingled.

“Whether I’m an ex-girlfriend or not isn’t up to you.”

Mu Wanwan’s gaze fell on Mu Zhian, and she said softly, “Long time no see, don’t you have anything you want to say?”

Mu Zhian maintained a calm smile on the surface, but a storm raged within his heart.

He naturally still remembered Mu Wanwan, although the memories were quite blurry…

But if Yao Meng weren’t here, Young Master Mu wouldn’t mind sacrificing himself for the peace of the Nine Provinces, infiltrating the enemy’s ranks.

Then, after successfully winning over the Sabbath’s ‘Divine Envoy’, he would have her give an order, and the alien envoys would all withdraw from the Nine Provinces.

However, it wasn’t appropriate for him to speak now, no matter what.

Between ‘current girlfriend’ and ‘ex-girlfriend’, favoring Yao Meng was naturally no problem, but he still felt apologetic towards Mu Wanwan. Although Mu Wanwan left Tianxuan City without a word back then, they hadn’t officially broken up. It was just that Mu Zhian at the time took it as a tacit breakup.

He just hadn’t expected this woman to appear before him as the ‘Divine Envoy’.

And she gave him such a big ‘surprise’ right after appearing.

Lin Ling, why aren’t you doing anything, just focusing on eating!

Mu Zhian desperately tried to signal Lin Ling, who was still munching on a meat bun like it was a main course, with his eyes. However, the natural beauty blinked her red eyes, looked at him dazedly, took a bite of the meat bun she just took out from her storage ring, and tilted her head: “Aaa?”

Mu Zhian rubbed his forehead silently.

For a moment, he couldn’t tell if this natural airhead was playing dumb or really couldn’t understand the current situation.

Mu Zhian couldn’t help but miss Sister Mengrou.

Wei Mengrou had been in the Jade Pool Holy Land these past few days and hadn’t left, because Mu Zhian had given her a Dao Seed back then. Only at Nascent Soul Realm could the Dao Seed be fully refined, and she was currently refining that Dao Seed.

If she were here…

Oh, she probably would be hoping for her master’s death, maybe even watching the show together with Lin Ling.

Mu Zhian silently retracted his gaze.

There was no hope relying on Lin Ling… Mu Zhian slightly calmed his thoughts, looked up at Mu Wanwan, and said with a smile, “Long time no see, I didn’t expect to see you again in this way.”

Mu Wanwan’s delicate brows furrowed slightly, “Don’t you have anything you want to ask me?”

Back then, when she was at Dao Integration Realm, Mu Zhian was just a little cultivator at Qi Condensation Realm. Yet Mu Zhian wasn’t curious about why she approached him in the past?

Yao Meng subconsciously looked at Mu Zhian and quickly noticed that his expression was gradually changing.

A hint of sadness appeared in his eyes.

“I naturally have many questions for you, but not now.”

Mu Zhian looked up and said softly, “It’s not too late to tell me when you want to.”

He was very magnanimous, completely accepting everything about Mu Wanwan, not caring about why she approached him in the past, not even asking.

This answer not only stunned Yao Meng, but even Mu Wanwan hesitated slightly.

“Why…?” she couldn’t help asking.

This emotional card seems to be working… Mu Zhian slightly brewed his emotions, his expression immediately turning gloomy.

He looked at Mu Wanwan with a complicated gaze. After a long while, he slightly raised his head, looking up at the dark sky, and said faintly, “Did you ever intend to harm me in the past?”

Before Mu Wanwan could answer, Mu Zhian retracted his gaze, looked at her, and continued, “Since you didn’t, then isn’t that enough?”

“The time I spent with you is one of my most unforgettable memories. No matter why you approached me, I was very happy.”

Mu Zhian spoke sincerely.

Yao Meng watched silently, not saying a word.

Mu Wanwan’s heart stirred: “So, you don’t blame me for leaving without saying goodbye?”

Mu Zhian shook his head: “It’s impossible to say I don’t blame you… But what’s past is past. You have your own reasons. Now you’ve also become the Sabbath’s Divine Envoy. I’m glad you weren’t on that flying saucer in the Eastern Continent this Sabbath.”

Mu Wanwan was an Eastern Continent cultivator, but also the ‘Divine Envoy’ chosen by the Heavenly Dao.

Which side she was on, Mu Zhian wasn’t sure, but at least it was certain that she had disagreements with the two alien gods on the Eastern Continent’s flying saucer, otherwise, she wouldn’t have left alone.

Mu Wanwan looked at Mu Zhian with complex eyes. If her approaching Mu Zhian in Tianxuan City back then was due to the ‘main personality’s’ longing for him, then now she had some special feelings for Mu Zhian.

She came to see Mu Zhian this time, prepared to reveal her identity to him, but his answer was unexpected.

At this moment, their gazes met, seemingly reminiscing, thinking about the past.

“You came looking for him this time, it shouldn’t be just for a reunion with an old lover, right?”

Just then, a gentle immortal voice sounded, bringing their thoughts back to reality.

Yao Meng glanced at Mu Wanwan and said calmly, “The Sabbath has descended several times in the past. Although it didn’t truly affect the Nine Provinces’ Luck, this Sabbath caused a great commotion right after descending. Miss Mu, coming to see him rashly, if you don’t explain the reason, this Seat is afraid I can’t easily let you leave.”

She believed Shang Yanfei’s stance was on Mu Zhian’s side, but she still held some suspicion towards Mu Wanwan’s identity.

This woman was indeed likely one of Shang Yanfei’s clones created by One Qi Transforms into Three Purities. However, this clone clearly had her own will.

Shang Yanfei’s true body couldn’t leave the Two Polarities Sect for some special reason. Then, could Mu Wanwan, as a clone, be controlled by Shang Yanfei?

“You guessed correctly. The current me is indeed not controlled by her,” Mu Wanwan replied calmly, as if guessing Yao Meng’s thoughts.

Yao Meng narrowed her beautiful eyes and said softly, “Because… the Sabbath?”

For this Sabbath, the Heavenly Dao chose someone it was least likely to choose as the Divine Envoy. Yao Meng didn’t know the reason, but she guessed it should be related to Shang Yanfei shielding destiny.

To the Heavenly Dao, Mu Wanwan was now Mu Wanwan, so it chose Mu Wanwan as the Divine Envoy.

Once Shang Yanfei’s will descended, the shielding technique she cast in the past would have loopholes.

If the Heavenly Dao noticed, it would likely choose a new Divine Envoy.

Mu Wanwan smiled brightly: “Jade Empress, you’re very smart. No wonder countless cultivators pursued you even before you reached Dao Integration.”

What are you two talking about, without including me…? Just as Mu Zhian thought of this, about to speak,

he noticed Mu Wanwan walking towards him.

Yao Meng watched her calmly, but didn’t stop her, until Mu Wanwan reached Mu Zhian’s side.

Then, he heard her say, “Remember, no matter who denies you, always believe you are right.”

“And also—”

She paused slightly, and under Yao Meng’s slightly frozen gaze, lowered her head and kissed Mu Zhian on the lips, saying softly:

“Long time no see.”

These words were like a heavy hammer hitting Mu Zhian’s heart. He abruptly looked up, staring intently at those pale golden eyes.

These words were very familiar. He had also seen these words in that ‘black box’ back then.

Was it a coincidence?

Or perhaps…

Mu Zhian didn’t dare to think further, or rather, there was too much information, and he couldn’t process such a massive amount of information for a moment.

Mu Wanwan didn’t speak again. Black mist silently enveloped her body, and the next moment, her figure turned into black particles, scattering with the wind.

“She’s already gone, haven’t you come back to your senses yet?”

Yao Meng looked at Mu Zhian’s dazed expression and said faintly, “You even forgot the person beside you after seeing your ex-girlfriend?”

Mu Zhian barely recovered from his thoughts and sighed, “I’m just a bit emotional.”

“Emotional about what?” Yao Meng asked with a faint smile.

Mu Zhian turned to look at her.

Yao Meng was currently standing behind him, hazy immortal mist enveloping her body, vaguely revealing her alluring collarbone. A sash outlined her full and perky bosom, her long, snow-white, and voluptuous legs slightly pressed together, her jade-white feet bare, staring intently at him.

Mu Zhian reached out, held her soft small hand, and said softly, “Emotional that back when I was still a little cultivator, she actually took a liking to me, and even dated me.”

He paused, gazing at her affectionately: “To me, Jade Empress Sister is also such a person.”

“I know that in Jade Empress Sister’s eyes, even the current me is just a little cultivator, but even so, you’re still willing to stay by my side and accompany me… To me, I’m already very content now.”

Yao Meng looked at Mu Zhian with a smile and said, “Then what do you plan to do about your ex-girlfriend?”

“What happened between you and her in the past?”

She was always very curious about what exactly happened between Mu Zhian and Mu Wanwan in Tianxuan City back then.

Also, during his innocent age, was it that woman who took away his ‘first kiss’ and first dual cultivation…

Although NTR was indeed a pleasurable thing, the first person to eat the cake was still somewhat enviable.

Hearing this, Mu Zhian couldn’t help but smile nonchalantly and said, “How could that be? Nothing particularly intimate happened between us. At most, when we were dating—”

Mu Zhian’s voice suddenly hitched, a dazed look appearing in his eyes, reflecting Yao Meng’s beautiful and refined face.

Right, what did I do with Mu Wanwan when we were dating…?

He remembered Mu Wanwan, but when he tried to recall their experiences together, he found those memories were very blurry. He could only vaguely remember her smile and appearance, but they were all very hazy, like an old film projector, the images in his mind all indistinct.

Just then, a cool hand gently touched his face. Mu Zhian snapped out of his thoughts and saw that holy and flawless beautiful face through the hazy immortal mist, and those gentle, green eyes: “Since you don’t remember, then forget it. After all, what’s past is past.”

“Now you just need to remember me, that’s enough.”

Lin Ling, having finished her meat bun, looked up at Yao Meng, then at Mu Zhian a few times, and silently lowered her head. This was something she only did when she was unhappy.

Such a gentle gaze, paired with that delicate and flawless immortal face, it would be a lie to say Mu Zhian wasn’t moved.

But he still noticed Lin Ling’s presence and was about to say something.

Just then, he suddenly heard a heart-shaking thunderclap from between heaven and earth.

Yao Meng raised her hand, retracting the Dao Integration Realm. The sky outside was even gloomier than before, the world seemingly filled with a destructive aura, silence enveloping the entire ancestral land.

Lead-colored clouds were silently moving towards a certain direction in the Eastern Continent with the wind.

Yao Meng gazed for a moment, then quickly realized something, murmuring to herself, “The Heavenly Tribulation at the Sword Palace?”

Hmm? So Ruoxi is also about to transcend and ascend soon?

If so, at least there wouldn’t be a situation of complete dominance in the fishpond afterward…

But that was on the premise that she could successfully transcend and ascend…

Mu Zhian’s eyes flickered slightly. He recalled how the Western Regions and Southern Wilderness tried to stop Yao Meng’s Transcendence before.

“You don’t need to worry about her safety.”

Just then, Yao Meng suddenly said casually, “The reason those great powers in the Nine Provinces stopped my Transcendence last time was because there wasn’t anyone at the Transcendence Realm in the Nine Provinces then.”

“But this time, with me here, no one will stop her Transcendence.”

Mu Zhian was somewhat surprised, “You’re willing to help her?”

“Don’t ask knowingly. I’m not one to forget a favor.”

Yao Meng shot him an annoyed glance and said, rather displeased.

“After all, she helped me back then. Moreover, she’s your Dao Companion, how could I stand idly by?”

“However—”

A sexy curve appeared at the corner of her mouth. She leaned down, close to Mu Zhian’s ear, and whispered, “You should know how to repay Sister, right?”
