It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists-Chapter 423: Your Husband is Amazing
Mu Zhian was an undoubtedly intelligent man.
This intelligence wasn’t limited to scheming; he also excelled at understanding people’s hearts, especially women’s.
He had mastered the hearts of many women, with Ruoxi and Senior Ye being the most prominent… He also understood the personalities of the still-developing ‘little sharks’ in his pond.
Therefore, he could often make the right judgment at the right time, and even if he occasionally messed up, he could smooth things over with his sweet words.
Because sometimes, messing up was part of his plan.
Although with the increasing number of ‘dragons’ and the growing strength of the ‘little sharks,’ the possibility of messing up had also increased, it was still within manageable limits.
Recently, however, the ‘little sharks’ seemed to be developing dangerous thoughts of turning Young Master Mu into a… plaything.
Not just the little sharks, but Mu Zhian also felt that the ‘dragons’ had similar thoughts… He had even been to the Jade Pool Holy Land’s little room with Yao Meng… No, that wasn’t really a little room, but Yao Meng’s cultivation chamber, and she hadn’t actually had any dangerous thoughts.
Even if he angered Yao Meng with a careless word or action, he could always appease or ‘please’ her later with apologies.
But the current situation was different.
The Demon Empress could read minds. No matter what sweet words he used, she would immediately know his true thoughts.
Moreover, he hadn’t anticipated this scene at all.
Seeing the Demon Empress standing at the doorway, his mind went blank.
Shi Zixuan is at the door, then who’s behind me…?
The answer was obvious.
Mu Zhian snapped out of his daze, his pupils constricting as he looked at the woman in the dress kneeling before him in shock.
Shang Yanfei!
She’s the Sect Master herself?!
It was actually quite easy to figure out, even… obvious.
After all, she wasn’t even disguised. She was facing him as the Sect Master.
But who would have thought that the Sect Master of the Two Polarities Sect would appear in the Demon Empress’s pocket dimension?
This was the Demon Realm, not the Eastern Continent. The symbol of the Eastern Continent was the Two Polarities Sect, and its Sect Master appearing in the Demon Realm without warning could easily provoke a strong reaction.
Mu Zhian stared at Shang Yanfei in disbelief, his throat tightening.
“You’re the Sect Master…?” he finally managed to ask, his voice strained.
Shang Yanfei’s beautiful eyes, filled with a captivating golden light, sparkled with amusement. “I never denied it.”
She paused, then asked casually, “Why did you mistake me for her?”
Mu Zhian was speechless.
How should he answer this?
I was planning to have a role-playing game with the Demon Empress, asking her to cosplay as Sect Master Lin, and then I would… subdue her…?
Who would have thought that the one cosplaying as the Sect Master was the Sect Master herself…
Fortunately, he hadn’t done anything too outrageous to Shang Yanfei. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain.
Having the Demon Empress transform into Shang Yanfei and then being intimate with her… If the sect disciples found out, he would be mortified.
But before Mu Zhian could answer, the Demon Empress intervened, her eyes cold. “Aren’t you always unwilling to leave the Two Polarities Sect? Why are you sneaking around in the Demon Realm, even entering my pocket dimension?”
If she hadn’t used the mark on Mu Zhian to locate him while returning to the Fox Clan’s territory, she wouldn’t have realized that Shang Yanfei had snuck into her pocket dimension.
Several small snakes, formed from pink spiritual energy, appeared behind the Demon Empress. She looked down at the woman before the throne and said slowly, “If word of this reaches the Demon Realm, are you trying to start another war? It will plunge the Eastern Continent into chaos.”
That accusation is a bit much, my dear sister… Mu Zhian complained inwardly.
Shang Yanfei’s expression remained calm, a gentle smile playing on her lips.
Then, her elegant, calm voice echoed through the hall. “If I hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have known that the ruler of the Demon Realm had transformed into me and was tempting a disciple of my sect.”
“If the demon cultivators of the Demon Realm knew about this, it would truly cause chaos.”
Shang Yanfei touched her lips with her finger, pondered for a moment, looked at the boy before her, and suddenly smiled faintly. “I’m afraid this disciple of mine would be seen as a calamity, a fox spirit who brings chaos to the Demon Realm.”
“Just like the fox concubine of that Eastern Continent dynasty.”
Did our roles reverse? Shouldn’t you be the calamity…? Mu Zhian complained inwardly, glancing at the words ‘Chosen Heroine’ on his personal interface and falling silent.
Well, the description ‘calamity’ wasn’t entirely wrong.
“Oh?”
The Demon Empress’s lips curled into a playful smile, but her eyes were cold. “He’s a calamity for tempting me and causing chaos in the Demon Realm, but tempting the Sect Master of the Two Polarities Sect is fine?”
So you really do consider me a ‘calamity’… Mu Zhian wanted to complain, but considering the situation, he decided to remain silent and inconspicuous.
However, the Demon Empress clearly didn’t want him to be inconspicuous, her gaze fixed on him.
She smiled seductively. “Being intimate with the Sect Master of the Two Polarities Sect in my pocket dimension… You truly enjoy excitement, don’t you, Mu Lang?”
If I had known it was Sect Master Lin, I wouldn’t have been so casual with her, or even had those thoughts… Mu Zhian’s mind raced, but he maintained a helpless smile.
It was impossible for him not to have any thoughts about Shang Yanfei. Ever since his days in Tianxuan City, this woman had been manipulating things behind the scenes. Even after he entered the Two Polarities Sect, it was thanks to Shang Yanfei that he met Yao Meng.
But he still didn’t know her true intentions.
Did she simply like him?
Mu Zhian considered himself a handsome young man. This wasn’t narcissism, but a generally accepted fact. Even when his reputation was bad, people often said: This Mu Zhian has nothing but his looks!
Even without the Mu family, he wouldn’t have any trouble finding a ‘sugar mama,’ especially now with the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox’s charm, making him even more attractive to women.
But Shang Yanfei was the Sect Master of the Two Polarities Sect. What kind of geniuses and handsome young men hadn’t she seen?
And if she truly had feelings for him, why would she secretly help him find so many powerful older sisters to… cling to?
She couldn’t possibly have the same fetish as Qian’er, enjoying being… cheated on?
Qian’er’s preferences were too strange. There probably weren’t many like her, especially not a Sect Master.
The Demon Empress looked at Mu Zhian with surprise, as if having read his thoughts through her mind-reading ability, and then looked at the beautiful Sect Master playfully.
“I thought he was seduced by you, but it turns out he mistook you for me?”
“No wonder he was so… close to you.”
Her voice was seductive, filled with unconcealed provocation.
The underlying meaning of her words was: You think he likes you, but he actually just mistook you for me.
He wasn’t attracted to your body, but mine.
A brief silence fell over the hall.
With the Sect Master’s calm demeanor, she shouldn’t mind this provocation… Mu Zhian breathed a sigh of relief.
Shang Yanfei had been at Dao Integration for much longer than the Demon Empress. She had already been a powerful figure before the Demon Empress even reached Dao Integration, and the legend of the Two Polarities Sect had been passed down through generations.

The Demon Empress looked at Mu Zhian, smiling faintly. “Sect Master Shang, why don’t you guess what he’s thinking about now, and who he’s thinking about?”
Shang Yanfei met her gaze, a mocking smile flickering in her beautiful golden eyes.
Then, she looked at Mu Zhian.
As their gazes met, a bad premonition arose in Mu Zhian’s heart.
“Close your eyes,” she said softly.
Mu Zhian hesitated. “Why?”
“Just close them. Do you think I would harm you?” Shang Yanfei’s voice was gentle and calm, yet carried an undeniable authority.
However, Mu Zhian was a veteran and wouldn’t show weakness in front of the Demon Empress, so he politely refused. “Just say what you want to say, Sect Master. I’m listening—”
Shang Yanfei didn’t waste any more words. She placed her hand on the back of Mu Zhian’s head and, under the Demon Empress’s gaze, leaned down and kissed him gently on the lips.
The moment their lips touched, a familiar feeling washed over Mu Zhian, a feeling he had longed for, and he involuntarily lost himself in the moment, instinctively reaching out to embrace her waist, wanting to feel her warmth.
But the next moment, a chill ran down his spine, and he snapped out of his daze, opening his eyes abruptly.
The atmosphere in the pocket dimension had turned icy.
“Since you can read minds…”
Shang Yanfei looked down at the boy in her arms, then smiled brightly at the Demon Empress. “Why don’t you try reading his mind again and see who he’s thinking about now?”
