It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists-Chapter 401: Mu Zhian: Why Arent You Following the Script?

He knew a little about what Yao Meng was saying. Bai Ruoxi’s mother was a Three-Tailed Fox, and in the past, she had manipulated the Gongsun family with her bloodline alone, to the point that Gongsun Xiong thought he was having an affair with her.

In reality, Gongsun Xiong was probably just… embracing a pillar every night.

If Ruoxi consumes the Supreme Clarity Pill and awakens the Nine-Tailed Fox body, tsk tsk… she’ll truly be a beauty that can topple nations with a single smile.

Fortunately, I have enough ‘resistance’ and willpower. Even if Ruoxi becomes a Nine-Tailed Fox, I can still suppress her single-handedly.

Mu Zhian was about to ask about the connection between his Chaos Body and the Supreme Clarity Pill, but then he froze, realizing something based on what Yao Meng had said.

He looked up at Yao Meng.

She smiled faintly at him, remaining silent.

“You mean, my Chaos Body might include Ruoxi’s two constitutions…?” Mu Zhian hesitated.

Yao Meng smiled, her lips parting slightly. “Not might, but does.”

Mu Zhian nodded slowly, as if in sudden understanding.

Then, after processing her words, he stumbled back, staring at the smiling celestial maiden with a stunned, disbelieving expression.

What the… I also have the ‘charm’ constitution?!

But my personal interface doesn’t show the ‘Nine-Tailed Fox’ constitution…

Or is it because Ruoxi hasn’t awakened as a Nine-Tailed Fox yet, so it hasn’t appeared on my interface?

If what Yao Meng said was true, Mu Zhian knew exactly what it meant.

“The Innate Celestial Furnace, combined with the Nine-Tailed Fox’s charm, is an irresistible temptation for any female cultivator in this world,” Yao Meng said softly, a playful smile in her voice.

Mu Zhian’s Innate Celestial Furnace could be concealed by the Spiritual Dragon’s technique, preventing it from being exposed in most situations.

But with the addition of the Nine-Tailed Fox’s charm…

“If nothing unexpected happens, after consuming the Supreme Clarity Pill, you can awaken the Nine-Tailed Fox body… Perhaps not as naturally charming as Bai Ruoxi, but you’ll be able to freely change your age.”

Seeing his complex expression, Yao Meng added, “Of course, it’s up to you to decide what to do.”

Mu Zhian’s mood was incredibly complex.

I’ve been dreaming about a fox-eared girl for half a year, and it turns out I am one…

Oh wait, with the Nine-Tailed Fox body and the Innate Celestial Furnace, I’ll have to worry about being kidnapped every time I leave the house.

After a moment of hesitation, Mu Zhian quickly relaxed.

It’s fine. The Innate Celestial Furnace already attracts the attention of female cultivators. What’s one more constitution?

“Although I don’t mind… the ingredients for the Supreme Clarity Pill are too numerous. It might take years to gather them all,” Mu Zhian said helplessly.

The Supreme Clarity Pill required thirteen types of rare demon cores, which only appeared after Nascent Soul demon cultivators perished. Besides that, it also required Thunderclap Stones, Half-Moon White Stones, Blood Red Essence, Sunbeast Ore, the bones of a Void Nightmare, and many other rare materials.

And these were just the basic ingredients.

Besides that, it also required two Emperor-grade herbs and a Heaven-grade cauldron.

Refining a Rank 9 pill required the perfect combination of timing, location, and people. Perhaps only Luo Tan, the Pill Emperor of the Immortal Dynasty, could refine it.

“I can gather the ingredients for the Supreme Clarity Pill within three months. Luo Tan might be troublesome, but I’ll offer her something she can’t refuse,” Yao Meng said with a smile.

If it were an ordinary Rank 9 pill, Luo Tan might agree.

But the Supreme Clarity Pill was different. A demon cultivator who consumed it, even a Qi Condensation level demon cultivator, could advance at an incredible speed, and their constitution would reach its peak.

If a demon cultivator with a noble bloodline consumed it, they could become another Demon Empress.

Precisely because the Supreme Clarity Pill was related to the Demon Realm, even if Yao Meng, now a Transcendence Realm cultivator, asked personally, the Pill Emperor might not agree.

But nothing was absolute. With the right offer, anyone would consider it.

“Whether refining the Supreme Clarity Pill is troublesome or not isn’t important. I’m more interested in your thoughts right now.”

Yao Meng looked into Mu Zhian’s eyes. “So you don’t mind awakening the Nine-Tailed Fox body?”

Mu Zhian chuckled. “Awakening the Nine-Tailed Fox body will be beneficial to my cultivation, right? I’m already an Innate Celestial Furnace. What’s one more constitution?”

Although it sounded a bit like he was giving up, Yao Meng was pleased with his answer. Her eyes lit up, and she smiled. “It’s good that you don’t mind.”

“Why do you seem happier than me…?” Mu Zhian looked at Yao Meng strangely, suspicious.

Could Yao Meng also have a ‘fox-eared girl’ fetish like me?

Or is she happy that her Dao Companion’s charm has increased? Isn’t she afraid of being… cheated on…?

But then again, Yao Meng was the Jade Empress and enjoyed… NTR-ing other girls. If he gained more Dao Companions because of the Nine-Tailed Fox’s charm, it wouldn’t be a bad thing for her.

As long as I don’t think I’m being cheated on, it’s me who’s cheating on you… This mentality is invincible.

“Since you’ve agreed to try awakening the Nine-Tailed Fox body, I’ll go prepare the ingredients and take you to Yu State.”

Yao Meng brushed her long hair aside, her green eyes filled with a smile.

Wait, if you go prepare the ingredients now, I’ll have to face Lingxuan and the others’ wrath alone… Mu Zhian suddenly realized.

Lingxuan had seen what happened between him and Yao Meng last night. If Yao Meng stayed at Two Polarities Peak, their anger would be directed at her.

And he could take the opportunity to appease them.

But if Yao Meng left… he would have to face their wrath alone.

Just as Mu Zhian was about to speak, Yao Meng, her jade-like feet beneath her green dress, floated over to him and gently caressed his face.

“I know what you’re worried about. I’ll explain everything to the Pill Emperor. I have some connections with her. As long as I offer her enough, she’ll agree to refine the Supreme Clarity Pill, even if it’s for a demon cultivator.”

Yao Meng chuckled softly. “A Nine-Tailed Fox can easily see through a person’s vulnerabilities and their preferred type, and even change their age at will.”

“The Fox Clan was once an overlord in the Demon Realm, but there have been less than three Nine-Tailed Foxes in history, and they’ve all disappeared.”

“Perhaps you’ll become the fourth cultivator to awaken the Nine-Tailed Fox body.”

“Has any male fox cultivator ever reached the Nine-Tailed level?” Mu Zhian hesitated.

Yao Meng shook her head slowly. “Never. After all, the Nine-Tailed Fox constitution is most suitable for female cultivators. Therefore, in the Fox Clan, females have a higher status than males.”

When will us male cultivators stand up?! Mu Zhian trembled with indignation.

No, that’s not what I wanted to ask. Yao Meng can’t leave now… Mu Zhian quickly reacted, about to speak.

But Yao Meng leaned closer, whispering like an older sister coaxing a well-behaved boy, “The Nine-Tailed Fox can charm all beings. If you awaken the Nine-Tailed Fox body, you’ll become very powerful, and only when you’re powerful…”

A seductive smile appeared on her beautiful face, and she whispered in his ear, “Can you… have your way with Sister.”

Mu Zhian’s heart raced uncontrollably. Even though he was a veteran in the garden of love, her whispers, seductive eyes, and soft lips, along with her fragrance, were incredibly tempting.

It was more intoxicating than any wine. Mu Zhian looked up, gazing into her playful eyes.

Then, Yao Meng gently held the back of his head and kissed him softly on the lips.

But before Mu Zhian could savor the moment, Yao Meng pulled away, looking at him with a playful smile. “How was it? Did you enjoy it?”

I liked it very much. Five-star rating. But it wasn’t enough. I want more… Mu Zhian leaned forward, wanting to… taste the rouge on her lips.

However, the celestial maiden, a master of edging, dodged him with a chuckle. “Don’t worry. I’ll go to Yu State with you later. We have plenty of time.”

“As for now…”

She tapped Mu Zhian’s forehead lightly, a seductive smile playing on her lips. “Be a good boy and cultivate at Two Polarities Peak. Wait for me to return.”

Then, Yao Meng’s figure vanished.

A cold wind blew through the window, carrying raindrops, and her figure dissolved into a wisp of green smoke, disappearing with the wind.

She teased me, then ran away… Mu Zhian shook his head, his expression complex.

Then, he suddenly realized: No, I was supposed to stop her from leaving!

But it was too late. Yao Meng had already left, and he couldn’t bring her back.

Oh well, by the time Lingxuan and the others arrive, their anger should have subsided… Mu Zhian sighed.

In any case, he would deal with whatever happened after they arrived.

Young Master Mu was very adaptable.

…

A day later.

Heavy rain poured down on Two Polarities Peak, covering the ground in a sheet of water.

Thunder rumbled, and the entire Two Polarities Sect seemed to be painted in a beautiful, ethereal light.

“The formations around Two Polarities Peak aren’t activated today. Does the Sect Master know we’re coming?”

Bai Ruoxi held an umbrella, her white palace dress embroidered with plum blossoms, adding to her delicate beauty in the dim rain.

“The Sect Master can peer into heavenly secrets. She probably knew when we entered the Two Polarities Sect. Let’s hurry inside. If nothing unexpected happens, Brother Mu should still be at the Moon Spirit Hall,” Ye Lingxuan said, toying with the Desolate Time Lock in her hand.

Today, the Desolate Time Lock seemed particularly active, its lock swaying back and forth.

Artifacts had spirits, especially ancestral artifacts. It probably knew it would be put to work soon, hence its current ‘excitement.’

Lan Feiying’s eyes flickered as she looked towards a certain direction on Two Polarities Peak.

Ye Qian looked up at the tall, alluring Lan Feiying. “Sister Feiying, what’s wrong?”

“I just felt like someone was watching us… But it must be my imagination.”

Lan Feiying collected her thoughts, a charming smile appearing on her lips. “Let’s go to the Moon Spirit Hall and wait for him. If I remember correctly, he should be staying in a guest room there.”

“I often played Go with Sister in the hall, so I’m quite familiar with the place. I’ll lead the way.”

“And… give that guy a surprise.”

…

Raindrops pattered against the windowpane, flowing down the eaves like a translucent curtain of water.

Mu Zhian sat by the window, resting his chin on his hand, his brows furrowed in worry.

“Aaa~”

Lin Ling tapped the table lightly, signaling for Mu Zhian to make his move in their Go game.

“Sister Lin Ling, can your word spirit ability reverse time and rewrite past events?” Mu Zhian suddenly asked.

“Aaa?”

The silver-haired beauty tilted her head, blinking her clear, red eyes, confusion written all over her face.

Mu Zhian also tilted his head, looking at her. “Aaa?”

Lin Ling: “?”

“Nothing, nothing. I just wanted to imitate you,” Mu Zhian waved his hand dismissively, then chuckled. “I was just thinking, if I could turn back time to two days ago, perhaps I could still be saved…”

A sad smile appeared on his face.

He had wanted to see Senior Sister Lan last night, but she refused to see him.

After all, the current Senior Sister wasn’t Lan Mulian, but… Black Mulian.

The 𝘮ost uptodat𝑒 novels are pub𝙡ished on freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

It couldn’t be helped. He and Yao Meng had been in Senior Sister’s bed…

Mu Zhian knew that Lan Mulian wasn’t truly angry. After all, with her personality, if she were truly angry, she would have intervened that night, not patiently listened to how the Jade Empress ‘bullied’ her Junior Brother.

Senior Sister was angry because of the relationship between Mu Zhian and Yao Meng.

Although they hadn’t actually gotten married, there had been two ‘stand-ins’ at the wedding ceremony in the Holy King City.

And most people didn’t know this.

The thought of the special relationship between the Jade Empress and Mu Zhian, compared to her own relationship with Junior Brother, which was still just senior and junior, was probably the real reason for Lan Mulian’s anger.

Senior Sister was quite the homebody. Although she enjoyed… cuckolding others, the thought of the Jade Empress doing the same to her, especially since she and Mu Zhian were now ‘husband and wife,’ was unacceptable.

If she had confronted them that night, Yao Meng could have simply said, ‘This is a private matter between us,’ a critical hit of a response.

But it wasn’t a big deal. Yao Meng had gone to prepare the ingredients for the Supreme Clarity Pill. He would give Senior Sister a surprise later tonight, and she would probably see him then.

But even if he could resolve things with Senior Sister, what about Lingxuan, and even Ruoxi…?

Lingxuan’s Desolate Time Lock was probably already itching for action…

Mu Zhian looked up at the silver-haired beauty, who was secretly rearranging the Go stones. “Sister Lin Ling, am I important to you?”

Lin Ling looked at Mu Zhian with curiosity and pondered.

∵ Eating is one of the most important things in life, and even if Mu Zhian doesn’t cook, he’ll have others prepare snacks for her, ∴ Mu Zhian = Food = Important things, ∴ Mu Zhian is important.

Lin Ling nodded without hesitation. “Aaaa!”

A firm and unwavering answer.

“Aaaaa? (Why are you asking such a strange question?)” she asked curiously.

Mu Zhian sighed. “If Ruoxi and the others lock me up in the dungeon one day, remember to save me.”

“Aaa (Why?)” Lin Ling tilted her head.

She took out a piece of paper and wrote: You don’t seem to want to see them.

“Of course I want to see them,” Mu Zhian said, recalling the potential ‘blackened’ states of Bai Ruoxi and the others. “But not now. I need some time.”

Lin Ling made a thoughtful “Aaa” sound.

Mu Zhian placed a black Go stone on the board, gradually surrounding Lin Ling’s pieces.

He looked at the frowning Lin Ling. “Do I really have the Three-Tailed Fox constitution?”

Lin Ling glanced at him, leaned closer, and sniffed him, then wrote on her board: Your scent is very complex, but there’s definitely a demon cultivator’s aura. I don’t know if it’s from a Three-Tailed Fox.

“My scent is complex?” Mu Zhian’s eyes were filled with doubt.

Lin Ling made an “Aaa” sound and wrote on her board: You have the Demon Empress’s mark, the Sword Palace Master’s sword scar, a petal of the Jade Empress’s World Cleansing Green Lotus, Reincarnation Water, and the Primordial Witch’s protection… Many scents mixed together. It smells wonderful.

Lin Ling stared at Mu Zhian with bright red eyes, as if looking at a delicious meal.

Her gaze was like a predator eyeing its prey, but to me, Sister Lin Ling is the prey… Mu Zhian pointed at the Go board, smiling. “Your turn, Sister Lin Ling.”

Lin Ling glanced at the board. She was about to lose.

She held up her small board and wrote: ‘You seem tired. Do you want to go back and rest?’

Mu Zhian smiled. “I’m fine. Let’s finish this game.”

Lin Ling shook her head. “Aaaaa (I’m tired. I’ll send you back.)”

Before Mu Zhian could say anything, Lin Ling opened her mouth. “Mu Zhian isn’t here. He’s in the guest room of the Moon Spirit Hall.”

Mu Zhian suddenly remembered something. “Wait, I have something to ask you—”

But it was too late. Just like spilled water, words couldn’t be taken back.

As soon as she spoke, Mu Zhian vanished from Lin Ling’s room.

The next moment, Mu Zhian felt himself lying on a soft bed.

She’s too impatient. I haven’t even asked her about the ‘karmic fire’ and whether she needs my help…

Why do everyone on Two Polarities Peak like to cheat at Go? Who taught them…? Mu Zhian complained inwardly.

He clutched his forehead, feeling dizzy.

Although Lin Ling’s word spirit ability seemed to have teleported him to the Moon Spirit Hall instantly, he had actually been traveling through the void for a few seconds.

It’s hard to imagine. If Sister Lin Ling said ‘Mu Zhian is invincible,’ would I become invincible even when… flaccid…?

It shouldn’t be that exaggerated, right?

Mu Zhian chuckled to himself, then slowly opened his eyes.

Several beauties sat around the room, looking at him with surprise in the flickering candlelight.

Then, their eyes dimmed slightly.

“…”

Raindrops pattered against the window, flowing down the windowpane, and the room was silent.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Mu Zhian slowly closed his eyes.

…
