It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists-Chapter 396: Yao Meng Next Door is Drooling

Lan Mulian shook her head gently. “I just did what I could and informed Master as soon as possible. The decision to act was hers.”

She paused, then continued, “Master rarely interferes in the affairs of the Eastern Continent, but you’re a sect disciple. She couldn’t let other factions bully you.”

Mu Zhian nodded silently.

Looking at the Go board, Lan Mulian suddenly asked, “By the way, why did you become like this…? If I’m not mistaken, this is your appearance from before, right?”

“I don’t know. Perhaps someone did something to me.”

Mu Zhian sighed helplessly. “Yao… The Jade Empress ascended to the Transcendence Realm not long ago. Perhaps something went wrong when she was healing my injuries?”

A faint smile flickered in Lan Mulian’s eyes. “You don’t seem very happy. Don’t you like your current self?”

Mu Zhian shrugged helplessly. “I don’t mind my current appearance, but if I walk around the sect like this, I’ll probably scare everyone.”

Everyone else becomes more mature as they cultivate, but Mu Zhian is getting younger… If he walked around the sect now, he would definitely attract a crowd.

Lan Mulian nodded in agreement. “You’re right. If you walk around the sect like this, you’ll definitely cause a commotion.”

Then, she revealed her true intentions. “So, stay at Two Polarities Peak until you recover. Don’t wander around.”

“If you need any cultivation resources, just ask me.”

Mu Zhian looked at his Senior Sister, hesitation in his eyes.

“What’s wrong? Don’t you like it here?” Lan Mulian’s beautiful eyes were filled with a hint of disappointment.

Mu Zhian shook his head. “I just feel like Senior Sister is in a good mood today… Did something good happen?”

Lan Mulian looked into Mu Zhian’s eyes, then looked away, her voice calm. “Nothing. It’s getting late. I’ll take you back to your room to rest. Master said that although your cauldron has been restored, your mind is still recovering and you need to rest for a few days.”

If it were the Mu Zhian from before, he would have teased her for changing the subject and refusing to admit defeat in their Go game. But the current Mu Zhian was much gentler. He simply hummed in response and followed Lan Mulian to her bedroom in the back hall.

After bringing Mu Zhian to the room, Lan Mulian said softly, “Turn around.”

Mu Zhian turned to face the door and heard rustling sounds behind him.

…Is she changing?

Mu Zhian’s heart raced, and he instinctively wanted to turn around, but a rational voice in his mind stopped him.

Calm down. If you peek at Senior Sister now, she’ll probably twist your head off…

The sound of clothes rustling against skin continued, stimulating his nerves.

After a couple of seconds, his rationality was completely overwhelmed by his curiosity, and he turned his head slightly to peek.

However, before he could see anything, a white dress was thrown over his head, completely blocking his vision.

“I told you to turn around. Didn’t you hear me?”

Lan Mulian glared at the mischievous boy, displeasure in her clear, cold eyes.

“You didn’t say I couldn’t turn back…”

Mu Zhian pulled the moon-white dress off his head and looked at the woman before him.

Senior Sister Lan wore a thin white inner robe that accentuated her figure. Her long hair cascaded down to her hips, slightly disheveled strands framing her cold face, giving her a languid, elegant air.

The close-fitting inner robe suited her very well. She wasn’t the delicate type, her skin firm and sensual, fair and smooth.

She didn’t have her usual cold demeanor, but rather a relaxed, homely aura.

Lan Mulian glared at Mu Zhian. “Have you seen enough?”

Although she pretended to be displeased, seeing his cute face, she couldn’t bring herself to be angry. This feeling was truly frustrating…

I’ll settle the score with him after he returns to his original form… I’ll endure for now.

Lan Mulian thought to herself.

“Did you use this face to deceive the girls in Tianxuan City before?” she suddenly asked.

Mu Zhian said helplessly, “I wasn’t close to any girls at that age.”

Then, realizing something, he added, “What do you mean ‘deceive’? Senior Sister, you misunderstand me. I’ve never deceived any girls.”

Huh?

So, at that age, Mu Zhian was still a relatively innocent boy…?

Lan Mulian’s thoughts stirred. “So you became a fickle playboy later?”

“If I start correcting you from this stage, perhaps I can turn you into a devoted man…?”

Sensing the sudden coldness in Lan Mulian’s eyes, Mu Zhian quickly said, “Senior Sister, you said my mind is still recovering. We should rest early tonight.”

A faint smile appeared in Lan Mulian’s eyes as she looked down at the boy. “Don’t you want to see what Master’s little room looks like?”

If I go into that little room, will I ever come out…? Mu Zhian shook his head reservedly. “Definitely next time, definitely…”

He glanced out the window, hearing the increasingly heavy rain. “It seems the rain is getting heavier. I’ll go back to my room to rest. I won’t disturb you, Senior Sister.”

Lan Mulian looked at him with a playful smile, her eyes as if saying: You’re afraid?

Then, looking at her Junior Brother, who was now shorter than her, she hesitated. “Why don’t you… stay here tonight? There’s no need to go back to your room.”

Mu Zhian was stunned, looking up at Lan Mulian’s beautiful face, hesitation in his eyes.

Is Senior Sister planning to lock me up in the little room while I’m asleep…?

It was no wonder he thought this. After all, in his memory, Senior Sister Lan was always aloof and noble. Her sudden invitation was strange.

But looking at the beautiful woman before him, her amber eyes, her fair neck, and the ample bosom accentuated by her white inner robe, Mu Zhian’s throat tightened, and he nodded slightly.

Although there was a risk, Senior Sister was just too… big.

Whatever a big person says is right.

“There’s only one bed here. Should I sleep on the floor?” Mu Zhian asked tentatively.

“Although it’s cold and rainy outside tonight, it doesn’t affect me. Don’t worry, Senior Sister.”

Lan Mulian pursed her lips and rolled her eyes at him.

Saying such suggestive things with such a cute face… How detestable…

But Feiying was right. She couldn’t just keep watching.

If she continued to hesitate, Feiying would make her move…

Lan Mulian walked towards Mu Zhian, her long, shapely legs visible beneath her thin white robe.

She stood before him, gently stroking his soft hair, and looked down at him. “Since it’s cold tonight, you can sleep on the bed.”

Mu Zhian was stunned.

Lan Mulian’s eyes sparkled with a teasing smile. “It’s just sleeping on the bed. Are you thinking of something inappropriate?”

She knelt beside Mu Zhian, her lips close to his ear, and whispered seductively, “Or do you want to cuddle with Sister?”

Her fragrance and gentle voice, tinged with shyness, filled Mu Zhian’s senses. She looked down at him with a playful, condescending gaze, her lips inviting.

The sound of rain outside grew louder, and the atmosphere became incredibly ambiguous. Mu Zhian subconsciously gulped, his heart racing.

With a mixture of nervousness and anticipation, he hesitantly wrapped his arms around Lan Mulian’s slender waist and looked up at his beautiful Senior Sister in her white inner robe.

She also looked at him, a playful smile in her clear, cold eyes, like an older sister teasing her younger brother.

Then, the candlelight in the room was extinguished, leaving only the sound of the increasingly heavy rain and the blossoming snow lotus being nourished by the storm.

…

Jade Pool Holy Land.

Yao Meng looked at the empty room, speechless.

Logically, no one should be able to take someone away right under her nose, especially not from a Transcendence Realm cultivator.

But Mu Zhian was indeed gone.

Even if Mu Zhian had left the Jade Pool on his own, she would have sensed it, as she had left a petal of the World Cleansing Green Lotus on him before going to the bath.

If he left, she would know immediately.

Could he have gone to the Heavenly Court?

But even if he entered the Heavenly Court, it would only be his consciousness. How could both his consciousness and body disappear?

Yao Meng narrowed her eyes, looking around the quiet room.

Green petals, each containing the law of time, flew out from her body, enveloping the entire room in a green light.

“No one can take him away from me,” Yao Meng murmured.

She was a Transcendence Realm cultivator, the Human Emperor who controlled the Dao of Time. Even the rules of heaven and earth couldn’t bind her.

Yao Meng clasped her hands together, and the petals formed a green lotus.

Mu Zhian’s illusory figure appeared in the room.

This was another function of the Dao of Time, able to replay past events within a certain range.

Everything that had happened after Mu Zhian woke up in this room was now within her view.

From getting out of bed and looking at himself in the mirror, seemingly in disbelief at his younger appearance, to rewriting the rules of heaven and earth, questioning the two Southern Wilderness Pillar Gods about Xueyi, and then…

“He did leave… But I should have sensed it if he left the Jade Pool…”

Yao Meng watched as Mu Zhian left the room and started to go downstairs. Then, a faint spiritual energy fluctuation emanated from behind him.

He touched the bronze mirror on the dressing table and vanished from the Jade Pool Holy Land.

“Is this thing the culprit?”

Yao Meng looked at the bronze mirror. It was just an ordinary mirror, but someone had tampered with it, linking it to another location.

She picked up the mirror, sensing the residual spiritual energy fluctuations, and scanned it with her consciousness.

“This spiritual energy… seems familiar…”

Yao Meng narrowed her eyes, staring at the mirror, following the trail of spiritual energy, tracing the person who had taken Mu Zhian.

After a while, the image of an innocent, adorable figure appeared in her mind.

Yao Meng stared at the mirror in her hand, her lips pursed slightly, then a playful smile appeared. She whispered,

“…The Spiritual Dragon.”
