After the fall of the three Pillar Gods of the Southern Wilderness, the Space God became its sole ruler, sharing a body with Regina and controlling the land.

Logically, Xue Yi should be quite busy every day. Why would she come to the Two Polarities Sect for no reason…?

Mu Zhian sat up from Bai Ruoxi’s embrace, looked up, and saw Xue Yi in a magnificent white dress within the spatial rift.

Her white dress fluttered in the cold wind. She had clearly applied some light makeup and lipstick before coming.

Noble, magnificent.

Although her aura resembled an Empress’s, her beautiful eyes seemed to hold a gentle affection, a blend of coolness and majesty.

Xue Yi’s gaze swept over the two, and after a moment on Bai Ruoxi, it landed on Mu Zhian.

Snowflakes drifted from the sky. Mu Zhian sensed an unusual glint in her eyes and coughed lightly, “Xue Yi, what brings you here?”

After all this time, the Space God no longer held a grudge against Mu Zhian for his past schemes. However, she was still slightly resentful that he hadn’t come looking for her after leaving the Southern Wilderness. She said with a smile, “Can’t I come if there’s nothing?”

Mu Zhian couldn’t help but smile, “Of course, you can… But I think the Southern Wilderness is very busy every day. You wouldn’t come all the way to the Eastern Continent to find me unless it’s something important.”

“I also considered this, which is why I haven’t gone to the Southern Wilderness to find you and Regina.”

In the quiet Garden of Heavenly Harmony, one sat while the other stood outside the courtyard, gazing at each other through the snowy scenery.

Gradually, the resentment in Xue Yi’s eyes faded, replaced by a gentle smile, “Young Master Mu is as good at coaxing people as ever.”

Clearly, Mu Zhian had sensed her displeasure and deliberately explained why he hadn’t gone to the Southern Wilderness.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to go, but he was afraid of interfering with her governing of the Southern Wilderness… This was the underlying meaning of his words.

And it was true. The three Pillar Gods had left behind a mess, and even now, Xue Yi was still dealing with these complicated matters.

With Mu Zhian being so polite and gentle, Bai Ruoxi wasn’t so friendly. Her beautiful eyes landed on Xue Yi, “The Space God has come all the way to the Two Polarities Sect to find us. It shouldn’t be just for a simple chat, right?”

A bright smile appeared on Xue Yi’s face, “I’m not here to find you two, just Young Master Mu.”

“There are some things I need to discuss with him alone.”

As she spoke, she completely ignored Bai Ruoxi, her gaze fixed on Mu Zhian.

Bai Ruoxi also fell silent, just staring at Mu Lang.

“Ahem.”

Mu Zhian cleared his throat and said seriously, “Ruoxi isn’t an outsider. If there’s anything, just say it. You don’t have to worry about her leaking secrets.”

Xue Yi casually glanced at the beautiful woman in the palace dress, then nodded slightly, and gracefully walked into the courtyard.

Then, she took out a letter from her sleeve.

A soft, golden light seemed to envelop the letter, making it look quite extraordinary. Even before touching it, Mu Zhian could feel the warmth emanating from it.

“What is this?”

“A letter sent to the Southern Wilderness from the Western Regions not long ago.”

Xue Yi said softly, “As for the specific contents, you should see for yourself.”

The Western Regions? If I remember correctly, the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation is in the Western Regions… A thought flashed through Mu Zhian’s mind. He opened the letter and scanned it.

As he read to the end, an amused look appeared on his face.

“The first Lord of Reincarnation has returned to the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation with his disciple, so the current Lord of Reincarnation is in a hurry, secretly cooperating with the Western Regions, hoping they’ll help her suppress her teacher, and also capture me and take me to the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation?”

A playful smile appeared on Mu Zhian’s face, “I thought the Forbidden Lands looked down on the powers of the Nine Provinces, thinking they were the rulers. It seems that’s not the case.”

“The Forbidden Lands were once the sole rulers of the Nine Provinces. In their time, living beings were like livestock, their essence harvested as nourishment for the Forbidden Lands every so often. It’s just that the powers of the Nine Provinces have gradually grown stronger, and they have to be wary,” Xue Yi said.

Her Dao Integration was even longer than Gong Lianyue’s, so she knew some secrets that other great powers didn’t.

“Was it a female Bodhisattva from the Western Regions who spoke with you?” Mu Zhian asked.

Xue Yi nodded slightly, “In the current Western Regions, besides the fallen Buddha of the Little Leiyin Temple, there are two great powers of Nalanda who have merged with the will of all beings and achieved Dao Integration.”

“The Western Regions agreed to the Lord of Reincarnation’s cooperation, intending to use your spatial power to directly take me to the Western Regions?” Mu Zhian looked thoughtful.

“The ones who truly want you aren’t the people of the Western Regions, but the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation and the Immortal Forbidden Land.”

Xue Yi said, “The cultivation method of the Western Regions is different from other places. They achieve Dao Integration through the will of all beings, so your Innate Celestial Furnace is more like a crooked path to them.”

The cultivation method of the Western Regions is truly unique, to think someone would consider the Innate Celestial Furnace a crooked path… Mu Zhian pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, “When are they planning to make their move?”

“Three days from now, the Immortal Forbidden Land will spread false news of an attack on the Demon Realm to lure you in. And then, they will use my spatial technique to take you away the moment you step out of the Eastern Continent.”

Xue Yi’s mastery of space was among the best in the Nine Provinces. From this, if the Western Regions wanted to capture Mu Zhian, they had indeed found the right person.

However, even the Western Regions didn’t expect that this noble and empress-like Space God, after being disciplined by Mu Zhian’s “stick” and intimidated by her “mother”, had already changed her mind.

To the gods of the Southern Wilderness, the Primordial Witch was their ‘mother’.

“What do you need me to do next?” Xue Yi suddenly asked.

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment, then said with a smile, “Since you’ve already agreed to the Western Regions, then just do as you planned.”

Xue Yi was stunned, tilting her head slightly to look at Mu Zhian, “You mean, you want me to hand you over to them according to the Western Regions’ plan?”

A puzzled look appeared in her eyes, momentarily unable to figure out what Mu Zhian was planning.

Bai Ruoxi beside her also hesitated, her rosy lips parting slightly, as if wanting to say something. But seeing Mu Zhian’s reassuring gaze, she ultimately chose to respect his decision.

After a moment of thought, Xue Yi smiled brightly, “I understand.”

“Since this is your request, I will do as you say.”

…

That night, Xue Yi didn’t leave the Two Polarities Sect immediately, but stayed temporarily in the Garden of Heavenly Harmony.

The weather outside was cold and biting, snow falling heavily. And within a small room in the Garden of Heavenly Harmony, a charcoal fire burned brightly.

Bai Ruoxi, who was meditating on the bed, seemed to sense something and immediately opened her eyes. Seeing that the unexpected guest was Mu Zhian, a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she said coquettishly, “Mu Lang, why are you here so late at night?”

Mu Zhian walked to the bedside, sat down, and began massaging her shoulders, “Coming to see you so late at night, why do you look so unhappy… Did I disturb your cultivation?”

Bai Ruoxi narrowed her eyes slightly, her voice soft and melodious, “Not really… It’s just that Xue Yi didn’t leave the Garden of Heavenly Harmony today. I thought Mu Lang would go see her.”

Compared to her usual cool and aloof demeanor, Bai Ruoxi’s face was now flushed a faint red. Although she maintained a cold and aloof posture, she was clearly enjoying Mu Zhian’s massage.

Mu Zhian knew that Ruoxi was a girl who lacked love and was somewhat sensitive, so even though Xue Yi was here today, he still chose to see Bai Ruoxi first, to satisfy her possessiveness.

And his proactive offer to massage her shoulders would make her feel cared for. Now, if he wanted to coax her, it would be much easier.

If he had gone to see Xue Yi first tonight, Mu Zhian probably wouldn’t be able to touch Bai Ruoxi for a while.

“If I’m ‘captured’ and taken to the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation, are you confident you can leave again, Mu Lang?” Bai Ruoxi suddenly asked.

“With the Heavenly Dao’s will around, do you think the Forbidden Land’s rules will have any effect on me?” Mu Zhian couldn’t help but smile.

A thoughtful look appeared on Bai Ruoxi’s face, her gaze on Mu Zhian filled with gentleness.

Then, she sighed softly, “I feel like I’ve reached the threshold of Soul Transformation recently, but I’m still stuck at a bottleneck. Under normal circumstances, it might take me two or three years to break through.”

Her snow-white palace dress had already been placed on a nearby rack, and she wore a white inner garment, her ample bosom straining against the fabric, quite impressive.

She sat with her legs crossed on the bed, her delicate jade feet covered in white ankle socks, looking at him with a gentle and vulnerable expression.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat ambiguous. As their gazes met, the beauty seemed to shyly lower her eyelids, her gentle and cool demeanor enough to arouse any man’s protective instincts… but at the same time, also the urge to bully her, incredibly alluring.

Suddenly, a pair of small and cute fox ears appeared on her head. In the flickering candlelight, nine fox tails seemed to unfurl behind Bai Ruoxi like a peacock’s tail.

A fox-eared girl…

Mu Zhian’s heart stirred. He gently looked at Bai Ruoxi, who had transformed into a Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, her charm captivating.

Then, he wrapped his arm around her waist and gently pressed his forehead against hers.

This was the real Bai Ruoxi, not the Sword Palace Master, but the reincarnated Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox.

Their breaths mingled. The man gazed at her now cool and alluring face, and said with sincere admiration, “You’re so beautiful…”

It wasn’t just sweet talk, but a heartfelt sigh.

Bai Ruoxi’s temperament was inherently cool and aloof, and the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox was a naturally seductive creature. The combination of the two created a charm that was impossible to look away from.

He must say this to every woman… A thought flashed through Bai Ruoxi’s mind. She was about to take out the Heart-Binding Lock and tease him.

Who knew, Mu Zhian seemed to anticipate her thoughts and kissed her on the lips the next moment.

Her eyes widened slightly, her small hands at a loss. She wanted to transmit her voice and say something to Mu Zhian.

However, the Innate Celestial Furnace’s Spiritual Energy was already at work. The bottleneck at the peak of Nascent Soul Realm seemed to be loosening under the help of the Heavenly Court’s Spiritual Energy.

The bottleneck at the peak of Nascent Soul Realm was being erased bit by bit!

Bai Ruoxi’s eyes gradually softened, and she slowly wrapped her arms around Mu Zhian’s neck.

Forget it, cultivation is more important…
