It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists-Chapter 420: Sect Master Lin Behind the Scenes

Lin Ling shook her head gently and held up her board: But he died once in the Jade Pool Holy Land, and he also encountered great danger during the Jade Empress’s ascension.

Shang Yanfei leaned back in her chair, crossing her long legs. “Even so, he won’t die.”

“No one in this world can kill him.”

Her beauty was breathtaking, her aura mysterious yet alluring, her appearance pure and holy, enough to captivate and even drive one to madness.

Even the most skilled painter couldn’t capture her beauty.

Lin Ling shook her head and held up her board: But he’ll still be hurt and sad.

Her eyes were still filled with worry, and she couldn’t even finish the roasted goose rice in her hands.

The Demon Realm was different from other places. Shang Yanfei’s influence couldn’t reach there.

The Demon Empress hadn’t been at Dao Integration for long, but her talent and bloodline were terrifying. No one knew her true intentions.

Even Dao Integration experts couldn’t resist the Innate Celestial Furnace. Who knew if the Demon Empress would be an exception?

“When did you become so concerned about a man?”

Shang Yanfei looked at the innocent Lin Ling with a smile, picking up a piece of roasted goose and savoring it.

“Aaa?” Lin Ling tilted her head, looking at her.

“Consider it… payment,” Shang Yanfei smiled brightly. A cold wind blew, rippling the surface of the lake, and as her black dress swayed, her fair legs were revealed, one adorned with mysterious black runes.

“Since you’re so worried, I’ll go check on him,” she said calmly.

As she stood up, a black mist enveloped her, and the sound of clashing chains echoed faintly, the Great Dao rumbling.

…

You Dao Integration experts have no other hobbies besides… cuckolding others, do you…?

Hearing the soft, seductive voice behind him, Mu Zhian couldn’t help but complain inwardly.

He was about to turn around when the woman behind him spoke again.

“Don’t turn around.”

Before Mu Zhian could react, the Demon Empress said casually, “I have something to ask you.”

“What happened while I was in seclusion? Why did you marry the Jade Empress?”

She should have been the first.

As the most likely candidate to awaken her past life memories, the Demon Empress should have had a significant advantage over all the other women around Mu Zhian, except for the Jade Empress.

After all, the ‘fish’ in Young Master Mu’s pond were still developing, while the Demon Empress was already a shark.

During Mu Zhian’s trip to the Abyss, if she had wished, she could have taken him back to the Demon Realm.

If she had done that, the Jade Empress wouldn’t have had the chance to marry him…

Mu Zhian explained, “The marriage is just a pretense. Yao Meng’s true goal is to ascend to the Transcendence Realm.”

“Heh.”

A cold, seductive chuckle came from behind him.

“I’m afraid ascending is the pretense, and marriage is her true goal. After marriage, she can lord it over the others.”

The problem is, the ones who got married in the Holy King City were just our projections. We didn’t actually get married… Mu Zhian complained inwardly.

The Demon Empress said calmly, “The Jade Empress achieved Dao Integration almost a lifetime earlier than me. With your current age and experience, how much can you truly understand her thoughts?”

“She knew you would be unhappy if she forced you to marry her. But if she proposed marriage, and after you refused, she took a step back and said it was just a pretense for her ascension… you would be grateful.”

The Demon Empress twirled a strand of hair around her finger. “Ascending to the Transcendence Realm and gaining the title of ‘husband’… Why not?”

Mu Zhian was stunned, suddenly realizing something.

Damn, isn’t this the ‘window’ theory he had used so many times? He hadn’t expected to be caught in it himself…

Yao Meng had indeed won in the Holy King City, but the Demon Empress’s ‘window theory’ was something he hadn’t anticipated.

But this isn’t really a ‘flaw.’ Yao Meng was still thinking of me… Mu Zhian thought. “Thank you for reminding me, Your Majesty. I’ll think about this after returning to the Eastern Continent.”

Just as this thought crossed his mind, he heard a soft sigh behind him. “That’s what you say, but you’re actually thinking: The Jade Empress is very kind to me. This isn’t a big deal.”

Mind-reading!

Mu Zhian immediately reacted.

This is truly the most troublesome ability in the world! He complained inwardly, then said helplessly, “Yao Meng is indeed very kind to me and always considers my well-being.”

The Demon Empress’s voice turned cold as she glanced at him. “She’s kind to you. What about me?”

Mu Zhian immediately said, “I will definitely repay your kindness in the future, Your Majesty.”

The Demon Empress scoffed. “That’s what you say, but you’ve probably even forgotten my name.”

Mu Zhian was silent for a moment, then a thought crossed his mind. He said softly, “Shi Zixuan… right?”

The Demon Empress was stunned. She touched her red-tipped finger to her lips, looking at Mu Zhian, her eyes flickering. “You still remember my name…?”

Mu Zhian shouldn’t have awakened his past life memories yet. Why did he remember things related to her…?

Seeing the woman behind him fall silent, Mu Zhian turned to look at the ruler of the Demon Realm.

The desolate Fox Clan territory was deserted, and the ancestral grounds were even more so.

A cold wind blew, and the Demon Empress’s plain clothes clung to her alluring figure, her skirt swaying gently in the wind, revealing a glimpse of her skin between her deerskin boots and the hem of her dress.

“Although I don’t remember what happened between us, I won’t forget your name,” Mu Zhian said gently, gazing at Shi Zixuan’s simple attire.

He mentally reminded himself not to think about anything else, just look at her, and clear his mind!

Mu Zhian didn’t actually know Shi Zixuan’s name.

But he could communicate with the Heavenly Court and naturally knew the names of those who held the nine seats.

The First Seat was Yao Meng, the Second Seat was Bai Ruoxi, and the Third Seat’s name was unfamiliar to him.

He had taken a gamble that Shi Zixuan was the Demon Empress.

And he was right.

But now he had to resist Shi Zixuan’s mind-reading ability…

Look into her eyes. Don’t think about anything else… Mu Zhian stared at the alluring woman, repeating this to himself.

And as he stared, his attention was indeed captivated, all distracting thoughts gone.

Because his gaze was involuntarily drawn to her alluring figure.

Shi Zixuan seemed to have read his thoughts. She glanced at him seductively. “Besides that kind of thing, don’t you have anything else you want to do?”

Even her scolding sounded like a coquettish whine. This was the power of natural charm.

But despite her words, her initial displeasure with Mu Zhian had lessened considerably after he called her name.

Seeing this, Mu Zhian breathed a sigh of relief, but he became even more wary of her mind-reading ability.

Young Master Mu considered himself skilled at pleasing women, but there was one major prerequisite: they couldn’t read his mind.

The feeling of being seen through was incredibly uncomfortable.

“We should go back now. We’ve been here for a long time. They must be worried about us,” Mu Zhian said.

“Oh?”

Shi Zixuan stared at him, her red eyes alluring, and tapped his chest lightly with her finger, giggling. “But your heart is clearly saying: Her Majesty’s body is so soft and fragrant. I want to hold her and savor this feeling.”

Don’t say it, don’t say it, I’m dying of embarrassment… Even with his thick skin, Mu Zhian couldn’t help but blush and cover his face.

Shi Zixuan smiled faintly. “And now you’re thinking: If Ruoxi finds out about this, she’ll probably take me to the Sword Palace’s dungeon.”

“But don’t worry,” Shi Zixuan’s red eyes sparkled with amusement. “I’ll protect you.”

If anyone else had said this, Mu Zhian might have been skeptical, but coming from the Demon Empress, it was quite convincing.

But her current attire and condescending demeanor didn’t match her words. She was more suited to sitting on her throne and commanding others.

Mmm, to put it bluntly, the Empress’s attire suited her better…

Just as Mu Zhian was about to speak, a pink demonic mist enveloped them, making him freeze.

Shi Zixuan’s clothes silently transformed into another outfit.

Within the demonic mist, her long, wavy hair cascaded down to her hips, her black and green dress accentuating her ample bosom and slender waist, her black stockings highlighting her fair skin.

She wore dark green embroidered shoes and a luxurious cloak, like a queen looking down upon her subjects.

“Why are you so dazed? Didn’t you say you prefer my… dominant appearance?”

The alluring Demon Empress touched the shimmering earring dangling from her ear and glanced at the boy, her voice changing from a youthful, clear tone to a seductive, mature one.

She was even more alluring and captivating.

This is a true natural charm constitution. I’m not even close to her level… Mu Zhian marveled inwardly.

“You’re planning to go to the Lan family in the Eastern Continent, right?” Shi Zixuan asked casually.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly. “Senior Sister has shown me kindness. I can’t abandon her.”

Shi Zixuan hummed in response, teasing him, “But your heart is telling me: Senior Sister is an important ‘fish’ in my pond. I can’t give up on her and Feiying.”

Mu Zhian: “…”

Your Majesty, can we still have a pleasant conversation?

Shi Zixuan ignored his speechless look and smiled. “Just kidding. I know you’re affectionate and won’t abandon the Lan sisters.”

“As for your thoughts… I can only say that most people would have the same thoughts if they saw those two sisters. It’s just that you’re willing to act on them.”

“Alright, since you’ve found the Soul Locking Bell, you can go back now.”

Mu Zhian was stunned, glancing at the captivating Demon Empress.

He hadn’t expected her to drop the subject so easily. He had thought she would ask him about the Lan sisters.

Shi Zixuan placed her slender finger on her lips, tilting her head as if puzzled. “What’s wrong? Are you dissatisfied because I didn’t… have my way with you here?”

She licked her finger and smiled seductively. “So you also like being intimate with others behind your Dao Companion’s back?”

This woman always liked to tease him. Although she was a Dao Integration expert, she hadn’t actually been in a relationship.

And now she was acting like an experienced older sister… Mu Zhian scoffed inwardly. “Your Majesty, you misunderstand. I also want to leave early.”

Shi Zixuan narrowed her eyes, glancing at Mu Zhian.

Then, under his heated gaze, she gently lifted the hem of her dress with her finger.

However, the next moment, a demonic mist enveloped her, and before Mu Zhian could see anything, her figure was completely obscured.

A captivating laughter echoed from within the mist.

Shi Zixuan smoothed her dress and pouted. “Did you forget that I can read minds? I know what you were thinking just now.”

Her attempt to tease him had failed… Mu Zhian was defeated, so he said, “Your Majesty, if you continue reading my mind, you’ll lose a respectful little cultivator…”

“Respectful?”

Shi Zixuan lifted Mu Zhian’s chin with her finger, smiling playfully. “Is this ‘respect’ referring to your desire to… subdue me?”

No, I just want you to help me cultivate and strengthen my willpower… Mu Zhian swatted her hand away. “Since you can read minds, Your Majesty, you should know why I have these thoughts about you.”

The ruler of the Demon Realm, speaking to you in a seductive voice, in a secluded environment, even cosplaying… who wouldn’t be tempted?

Shi Zixuan licked her lips and suddenly chuckled. “You only dare to act like this with me. If that woman were standing before you, would you dare to have such thoughts about her?”

That woman? Who…? Mu Zhian was puzzled.

Then, Shi Zixuan’s figure shimmered like ripples, and the next moment, she transformed into a woman in a loose black robe.

Although the robe concealed her figure, its wide sleeves accentuated her elegant demeanor. Just standing there, she looked like a celestial being, holy and graceful, exuding a mysterious aura.

Shang Yanfei!

Although he couldn’t remember Shang Yanfei’s face, Mu Zhian felt a sense of familiarity and immediately recognized her.

Sensing the boy’s gaze, Shi Zixuan’s voice was calm, a faint smile in her eyes. “Even daring to have such thoughts about this Sect Master?”

She was clearly imitating Sect Master Lin’s voice and demeanor, making Mu Zhian momentarily stunned.

She’s… She’s too much like Sect Master Lin!

Mu Zhian was shocked.

Shi Zixuan smiled brightly. “Why are you so surprised? I can read minds and have a natural charm constitution. Changing my appearance is a simple matter.”

Mu Zhian recovered. “I never knew you could transform into other people…”

Even with Shi Zixuan disguised as Shang Yanfei, after looking at her face, Mu Zhian still couldn’t remember her features.

Shi Zixuan chuckled softly. “There are many things you don’t know.”

She paused, then continued, “But to even have thoughts about your own sect’s Sect Master… I wonder how that woman would react if she knew.”

Mu Zhian recovered. “Anyone who’s seen the Sect Master would probably have similar thoughts.”

Shi Zixuan, unusually, didn’t retort, but nodded slightly in agreement.

Yao Meng, the Jade Empress, was the dream lover of countless cultivators in the Nine Provinces. Anyone who had seen her was captivated by her ethereal beauty, like a celestial maiden who didn’t belong to the mortal world.

Among the women Shi Zixuan had met, only Shang Yanfei possessed a similar beauty and aura.

However, those who had seen Shang Yanfei would quickly forget her features. She was so low-key that people often subconsciously overlooked her presence.

Mu Zhian looked at ‘Shang Yanfei.’ “Actually, the reason I had those thoughts is partly because you deliberately tempted me, Your Majesty…”

If Shi Zixuan hadn’t provoked him first, he wouldn’t have had such bold thoughts upon seeing Sect Master Lin.

…Probably.

He wasn’t entirely sure.

Shi Zixuan giggled, giving the boy a seductive look. “Are you blaming me?”

“If you come back to the Demon Palace with me, I can… satisfy you right now.”

This was a tempting offer… Mu Zhian’s eyes flickered, and he was about to speak.

Sensing his heated gaze, Shi Zixuan rolled her eyes at him and chuckled softly. “In your dreams… Even if you agree to come back to the Demon Palace with me, I’ll only let you kiss me here.”

“But,”

She cupped the boy’s face in her hands, her warm breath on his face, and smiled. “I said ‘here,’ but if you agree to return to the Demon Palace with me, perhaps we can… go further.”

“Let’s rest in this village tonight. Think about it~”

Suddenly, Mu Zhian felt her presence disappear. He looked up and saw Shi Zixuan walking towards the village.

Her dress swayed gently with her steps, her high-heeled boots faintly visible. She wore a beautiful phoenix hairpin, its golden tassels swaying slightly, accentuating her noble and elegant demeanor.

Her every move was captivating and alluring.

“Tsk, after all that, just a kiss?”

Mu Zhian scoffed disdainfully.

Looking at the tall, sexy Demon Empress in her high-heeled boots, he suddenly stepped forward, grabbed her wrist, and under her playful gaze, embraced her waist and kissed her on the lips.

Heavenly Court spiritual energy flowed from his Innate Celestial Furnace into Shi Zixuan’s body.

A Dao Integration expert’s cauldron also had only one, but it contained ten pocket dimensions, representing ‘perfection’ and ‘the ultimate.’

Heavenly Court spiritual energy surged into each of the ten pocket dimensions.

Then, in the Heavenly Court, the previously dim Third Seat lit up silently.

…

After a stick of incense’s time, Shi Zixuan gently pushed Mu Zhian away, smiling seductively, her alluring eyes gazing at him as she cupped his face in her hands. “Did you enjoy it?”

Mu Zhian remained silent.

Perhaps due to her natural charm, or perhaps because of the rouge, her lips seemed to carry a faint fragrance.

As if sharing a secret, she leaned close to his ear and whispered, “Come to my room tonight.”

“Remember to keep it a secret from your Dao Companion~”

Heh, you want me to take such a big risk? If Ruoxi and Mengrou find out, I’ll be locked up in the dungeon… Mu Zhian chuckled inwardly.

A knowing smile appeared on Shi Zixuan’s lips.

Do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking?

After returning to the village, Shi Zixuan opened her pocket dimension, about to enter, when she sensed the space beside her distort slightly, and a woman emerged.

It was the First Seat of the Demon Realm.

Shi Zixuan raised an eyebrow. “What is it?”
