It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists-Chapter 398: Look, But Dont Touch

But at the Core Formation realm, Ye Lingxuan could only locate him.

“It seems we misunderstood the Jade Empress. It wasn’t her who took Mu Lang away, but either the Sect Master or the Spiritual Dragon,” Bai Ruoxi suddenly said softly.

Her voice was still gentle and delicate, but anxiety was hidden deep within her eyes as she stared at the red dot marking Mu Zhian’s location on the image.

Wei Mengrou, standing quietly in the corner, looked at the red dot and voiced everyone’s concerns:

“Leaving him alone at Two Polarities Peak is still worrying.”

The Jade Empress’s control over the Dao of Time wasn’t perfect, which had resulted in Mu Zhian’s age regression. Although it was a pity, the fact that his injuries had been healed was already quite fortunate.

But… leaving Young Master alone at Two Polarities Peak, even with the Sect Master and the Spiritual Dragon’s protection, was still concerning.

She knew that Lin Ling was an innocent glutton, and Sect Master Shang Yanfei hadn’t interacted with Mu Zhian much. This time, she had acted because he was a Two Polarities Sect disciple.

But there were others on Two Polarities Peak besides the Sect Master and Lin Ling.

There was also Senior Sister Lan, who had exchanged letters with Mu Zhian.

If it were the usually cold and aloof Senior Sister Lan, it wouldn’t be a problem. But she had publicly confessed her feelings for him during the Ascension Ceremony.

Facing the younger Mu Zhian, would she really do nothing…?

This was the main reason for the women’s concern.

As for why they were worried about Lan Mulian developing… special interests… it was because they had all had similar thoughts.

If I want to… with him, I don’t believe Senior Sister doesn’t… This was probably what they were all thinking.

“Master isn’t at the Jade Pool Holy Land. Where did she go…? Could she be looking for Brother Mu?” Ye Qian suddenly said softly.

She had grown into a graceful young woman, dressed in elegant attire with dark blue patterns that accentuated her delicate, innocent face, but her eyes were alluring and seductive.

However, a hint of worry was hidden deep within her beautiful eyes.

Lan Feiying, her arms crossed, her red cheongsam accentuating her ample bosom, stared at the image created by the Desolate Time Lock and chuckled softly. “If he’s really at Two Polarities Peak, Sister should know. You don’t have to worry about his safety.”

She knew her sister wouldn’t take advantage of someone. Mu Zhian’s age had regressed, and her sister was always reserved, so she wouldn’t do anything inappropriate.

“Fairy Yao Yue, do you know where the Jade Empress went yesterday?” Bai Ruoxi suddenly asked.

The Jade Pool Holy Maiden, who had been silent, looked at the red dot on the map and shook her head gently. “The Jade Empress rarely appears in the Jade Pool Holy Land. Even when she was staying here before, she was always cultivating in the Returning Unity Pavilion.”

“So, no one in the Jade Pool knows when she left.”

Like Yao Meng, she was also enveloped in a hazy mist, but it was thinner than Yao Meng’s. Her beauty was ethereal and unreal, like a celestial being.

However, her mood was complex as she looked at the women in the room.

Now that the Jade Empress had ascended, no one could have taken Mu Zhian away without her noticing.

Undoubtedly, the Jade Empress wasn’t currently at the Jade Pool. She must have sensed Mu Zhian’s location and gone to Two Polarities Peak herself.

Everyone present was intelligent and understood this.

But they subconsciously refused to acknowledge it.

After all, if the Jade Empress was really at Two Polarities Peak, what was she doing there?

…Even without knowing their complicated relationships, the Jade Pool Holy Maiden knew the Jade Empress’s character.

Seeing the heavy atmosphere, Ye Lingxuan suddenly said, “I’ll try to share the ancestral artifact with the Reincarnated Empress and let her control the Desolate Time Lock. This way, we can see that Brother Mu is safe at Two Polarities Peak, and everyone can be at ease.”

The ‘doll’ behind Ye Lingxuan, the white-robed woman, raised her hand. After Ye Lingxuan granted her authority, she took control of the Desolate Time Lock.

The sound of rattling chains echoed through the room, and the image of the Returning Unity Pavilion became clearer.

“I see Brother Mu! Sister, look, isn’t that Brother Mu?!”

Ye Qian tugged on Ye Lingxuan’s sleeve, pointing at the figure appearing in the image.

The image was hazy and illusory, but a figure could be vaguely seen.

Although they couldn’t see his face or even his figure clearly, Ye Qian immediately recognized him.

Wei Mengrou narrowed her eyes, staring at the image for a moment. “Judging from his height, it’s indeed Young Master’s younger form…”

There were only four people on Two Polarities Peak: the Sect Master, Lin Ling, Lan Mulian, and Mu Zhian.

And this frail figure could only be Mu Zhian, whose age had been reversed by the Dao of Time.

“It seems Brother Mu is sleeping, recovering his mental energy,” Ye Qian suddenly said softly.

Knowing that Mu Zhian wasn’t in danger, the tense atmosphere in the room eased considerably.

Bai Ruoxi’s eyes welled up with tears, her face filled with longing and resentment.

Ye Lingxuan’s gaze remained fixed on the blurry figure, relief washing over her.

The maid remained calm and aloof, but a hint of gentleness appeared in her eyes as she looked at her Young Master.

Just as the atmosphere became harmonious, Lan Feiying suddenly frowned. “Do you see another figure on top of him?”

Although the image was blurry, and a hazy mist obscured Mu Zhian’s figure, Lan Feiying’s sharp eyes noticed another figure within the mist.

The Jade Pool Holy Maiden’s eyes widened, as if realizing something, and she stared at the image, her eyes flickering.

The smile on Ye Lingxuan’s face faded, and she turned to the Reincarnated Empress. “Can you make the image clearer?”

The Reincarnated Empress nodded slightly and controlled the Desolate Time Lock.

The image, which had only shown a single blurry figure, gradually became clearer.

Although a hazy mist still lingered, they could now clearly see an alluring figure lying on top of Mu Zhian, their faces almost touching.

Ye Lingxuan stared at the figure, then bit her lip and whispered, “…The Jade Empress.”

The harmonious atmosphere in the room froze.

Bai Ruoxi subconsciously clutched her skirt, her eyes filled with anger.

For a moment, the spiritual energy in the room seemed to vibrate, and the swords in the Jade Pool hummed ominously.

But gradually, her grip on her skirt loosened, and she stared at the woman in the image.

Even if they rushed to Two Polarities Peak now, it would be too late. It would take at least a day and a night to get there, and the formations around Two Polarities Peak would take even more time to disable.

“Master is actually… with Brother Mu in his current state…” Ye Qian covered her mouth with her hand, taking a step back, her eyes wide with disbelief as she stared at the celestial maiden, who was considered holy and pure in the eyes of the world.

Clearly, Yao Meng was serious. She didn’t want to miss this opportunity with the younger Mu Zhian, even going so far as to chase him to the Two Polarities Sect, secretly disabling the formations, and setting up a sleeping spell. Now, she was openly… enjoying herself…

No, to those in the Returning Unity Pavilion, this wasn’t even considered sneaking around. It was blatant.

But even with the Desolate Time Lock, it was too late for Ye Lingxuan to reach Two Polarities Peak. Disabling the formations alone would take a considerable amount of time…

“Perhaps the Jade Empress is just… researching the applications of the Dao of Time…?” the Jade Pool Holy Maiden said with a forced smile, her eyes twitching slightly.

Oh my god, what is the Jade Empress thinking?! If word of this gets out, people will think she has some kind of special fetish!

The Jade Pool Holy Maiden felt that any explanation she offered would be weak and unconvincing.

After all, what was happening on Two Polarities Peak was being displayed clearly before their eyes.

If Yao Meng’s actions were subject to the laws of the Great Qian Dynasty, she would probably be forced to commit suicide by drinking poisoned wine.

Unfortunately, there were no ifs. The National Teacher of the Great Qian Dynasty had almost been decapitated last time and wouldn’t dare to show his face now.

Even the Jade Pool Holy Maiden, who was just an observer, found this outrageous.

They had just gone for a bath, and the Jade Empress had gone to Two Polarities Peak, disabled the formations, snuck into Mu Zhian’s room, and then, in front of all these talented women, she had… [—beep—] their beloved?

This was practically treating them like… cuckolds…

Suddenly, the woman in the image seemed to sense something and glanced towards the sky.

A charming blush colored her beautiful face, and a playful smile appeared in her eyes.

“What’s wrong?” Mu Zhian whispered.

Their lips were almost touching. Yao Meng’s lips parted slightly, her breath warm on his face. She smiled. “Nothing. Don’t worry about it.”

Mu Zhian hesitated. A chill ran down his spine, and he felt a sense of unease.

“Maybe we should stop. I’m not in good condition right now. I’m afraid I can’t… satisfy you, Jade Empress…”

Yao Meng’s blushing face was inches from Mu Zhian’s. She looked into his eyes and chuckled softly. “Do you know about my Dao of Time after ascending to the Transcendence Realm?”

“Even if your stamina decreases, I can reverse your time… Of course, you’ll still consume mental energy, but that’s just an ethereal thing. You can recover with a day’s rest.”

“So don’t worry.”

Yao Meng gently caressed Mu Zhian’s face, leaned down, and whispered, “Close your eyes and leave everything to me.”

No matter how frustrated they were, the women in the Returning Unity Pavilion could only watch helplessly as Mu Zhian closed his eyes and fell into Yao Meng’s trap.

Suddenly, the window was pushed open.

Rain pattered against the floor. Yao Meng raised an eyebrow and glanced over.

A silver-haired woman stood at the window, her clear, bright eyes scanning the room before settling on Yao Meng.

“No dual cultivation is allowed here,” she said softly.

Yao Meng’s eyes flickered, and she looked around the room.

Word spirit ability!

As Lin Ling spoke, the rules of the room were rewritten!

Yao Meng suddenly felt all desire disappear, her interest in Mu Zhian vanishing in an instant.

She turned to look at the silver-haired beauty at the window, a playful smile appearing on her face.

Then, her gentle, elegant voice echoed through the room.

“What are you doing?”
