"Can I just eat it directly?" Mu Zhian asked once more. "You can also choose to extract its spiritual energy; there's no need to consume it directly," Fairy Yao Meng replied with a smile. Mu Zhian nodded slightly, understanding dawned on him. "I see... I'll refine it afterward then." Yao Meng glanced at Mu Zhian's warm hand resting on her waist. A hint of shyness flickered across her exquisite face, but she maintained her serene demeanor with a soft smile. "There's no need to wait; you can refine it right now." "But I want to refine it with you, fairy sister," Mu Zhian said. "Together...?" Yao Meng tilted her head slightly, her eyes showing a trace of confusion. At that moment, Mu Zhian pressed Yao Meng down onto the bed behind her. He squeezed the Tian Dan Phoenix Fruit in his hand gently, letting its juice pour over Yao Meng. Yao Meng's eyes, once cold and aloof in the eyes of the world, now appeared dreamy and slightly seductive, combining a mix of aloofness and allure. "Isn't this a waste?" Her tone carried a hint of reprimand, but her eyes held a tinge of shyness and... hidden expectations. "Don't worry, I won't waste a single drop," Mu Zhian said with a wide grin, savoring the taste of the Tian Dan Phoenix Fruit. After a while, Yao Meng opened her enchanting eyes slightly, wrapping her arms around Mu Zhian's head as he transformed into a loyal devotee. She whispered softly, "The Empress of Yuzhou seems quite interested in you. Remember, do not reveal the natural furnace, lest it causes unnecessary trouble." "I understand..." Mu Zhian replied indistinctly. At the moment, refining the Tian Dan Phoenix Fruit was far more important than anything else. Hence, not a single drop of the fruit's juice could be wasted. ... North Province, within the Demon Realm. The Demon Realm Empress lounged lazily on her throne, appearing as if she was taking a brief nap. Her loose robes barely concealed her full, pert chest. Her long, jade-like legs crossed elegantly, while her flowing hair framed her captivatingly beautiful face. On the surface, the ruler of the North Province seemed merely to be resting, but only the personal maid standing not far away knew—at this moment, the Empress's consciousness was not in the North Province. I hope the Empress finds success... the maid thought, gazing at the ruler of the Eastern Province with infatuation, silently praying for her well-being. As one of the Thirteen Seats of the Demon Realm, this personal maid held the position of the second seat and was responsible for all of the Empress's affairs. She was the only one aware of the Empress's departure from North Province. If successful in absorbing the primordial essence of the first Demon Emperor, it would be the perfect opportunity for the Demon Realm to expand into Eastern Province. This move was an unavoidable decision by Shang Yanfei, yet it was within the Demon Realm Empress's expectations. There was no one else in the world who could completely vanquish the first Demon Emperor; perhaps the head of the Liyi Sect could defeat him, but such a battle between two Harmonization Realm beings would likely cost numerous disciples their lives. Suddenly, the surrounding spiritual energy surged uncontrollably. The next moment, the Demon Realm Empress slowly opened her eyes. Her already enchanting aura seemed even more alluring now, so captivating that even knowing she was a dangerous entity one couldn't help falling in love with her. The maid immediately reacted with respect. "Your Majesty, the medicinal bath is ready." Even the Demon Realm Empress needed time to refine the essence thoroughly; a medicinal bath would expedite the process. The Empress nodded slightly. "You may go now." The maid bowed respectfully. "Understood." Watching the maid leave, the Empress tapped her slender fingers against the arm of her throne, reminiscing about today's events at the Liyi Sect. Shang Yanfei didn't seem like a fool, yet she had handed over the first Demon Emperor's essence to her without a fight. It was really incomprehensible. Regardless of Shang Yanfei's motives, once the Empress refined the essence, even without the support of heavenly energy, Shang Yanfei would no longer be a match for her. It was indeed a poor move... The Empress chuckled softly, rising slowly from her throne. Just then, an inexplicable vision flashed through her mind, bringing a slight dizziness. Immediately afterward, a torrent of memories surged into her consciousness, leaving her no time to react as a series of unfamiliar scenes swiftly flashed through her mind. She breathed lightly, overwhelmed. Once the images faded from her mind, the Empress slowly lifted her head, gazing towards the Liyi Sect. In those mesmerizing eyes was shock and disbelief, and... nostalgia. She had awakened to her past life's memories. This was... the second cycle of the world! Chapter 296: Master and Disciple Face-Off In a grand and ancient hall, the alluring Demon Realm Empress clasped her forehead, leaning against the throne, her thoughts in turmoil. The once seductive and bewitching eyes now contained hints of poignancy and longing. This world wasn't the first cycle but rather a restarted second cycle! What is referred to as the second cycle is akin to restarting a game after completing it—or in other words, a reincarnation. Therefore, the world they were in now was already the second turn of the wheel. Silently processing this information before the throne, the Demon Realm Empress eventually lifted her head, looking towards a certain direction in the Eastern Province, as if peering through numerous obstructions right at someone currently in the Liyi Sect. Who would have thought that in the first cycle, the Empress of the Demon Realm had been a Dao companion with a mere Spiritual Refinement cultivator? Even she, the current Empress of the Demon Realm, found it hard to believe. However, what lingered was not disbelief, but indescribable longing. If she hadn't regained past life memories before entering seclusion, she might never have guessed... No wonder Shang Yanfei handed over the first Demon Emperor's essence willingly; partly out of her overconfidence, and partly to have the Empress focus on refining the essence. Why would she hand over the first Demon Emperor's essence just to have the Empress in seclusion? What is her true intention...? Before awakening the memories, perhaps the Demon Realm Empress could never find an answer. But now, she had a vague inkling of the truth. The Empress's delicate lips curved slightly, her elastic thighs elegantly crossed, and her long fingers gently tapped the throne's armrest. Tap. Her slender fingers paused in mid-action, and the Empress's eyes flickered. Could it be that Shang Yanfei is also a reborn person? Shang Yanfei wanted the Empress to seclude herself for a year to devour the first Demon Emperor's essence. The reason... likely concerned Mu Zhian. Yet even if Shang Yanfei guessed this, she wouldn't expect the Empress to recall her previous life's memories right before seclusion, would she? The Empress placed her slender fingers lightly upon her ample chest, tilting her head back slightly and closing her eyes, feeling the long-neglected thumping of her heart, and the void within. She slowly opened her enchanting eyes, seeing the maid enter the hall. "Your Majesty, the medicinal bath is ready." The maid kept her head slightly lowered, maintaining her respect for the Empress. "In half a month, I will formally enter seclusion. After that, I entrust everything here to you and the others," the Empress instructed. "We will manage everything to the best of our ability and meet your expectations," the maid replied with immediate respect, trying her best to conceal her fervor. The allure of the Empress transcended gender, and combined with her mind-reading ability, it was nearly impossible to hide one's thoughts. If one's desires weren't consciously contained, the Empress could easily see through them. Though the Empress awakening to her past life's memories might not have been part of Shang Yanfei's plan, the essence from the Harmonization Realm had been absorbed. Regardless, it was imperative for her to refine it, or it would hinder her cultivation. Thus, she had no choice but to go into seclusion for a time... With the medicinal bath, perhaps it wouldn't take a year or more to refine the first Demon Emperor's essence fully—only a few months. However, before that, there was something else to accomplish... "I have one other task for you." The maid looked up, seeing the Empress sitting elegantly above her. "In the Liyi Sect, there's a small cultivator named Mu Zhian. Contact the Seventh Seat and have them find an opportunity to bring Mu Zhian to the Demon Realm." The maid acknowledged with a respectful "Yes" but hesitated slightly before asking, "Is Mu Zhian not the spy left in the Liyi Sect by your Majesty? Bringing him back now... Is there something more to him?" "No secrets." The Demon Realm Empress stretched her seductive waist lazily and glanced toward the direction of the Liyi Sect. "His presence is far more important than any so-called secret." ... Dexin Garden. After chatting with her sister for a while in the courtyard, Ye Qian stood up, ready to leave. "Sister, I'm heading back to meditate and cultivate. Although Brother Mu is fine now, we still need to work hard to prepare for the Ascension Conference," Ye Qian said. Ye Lingxuan looked up with a gentle smile at her sister and said, "I told you back in the Martial Realm that Brother Mu would be fine, but you didn't believe me and insisted on coming out early. Regretting it now?" Ye Qian blushed slightly, casting a glance at Ye Lingxuan. "Weren't you also anxious, even pulling out the ancestral weapon to chase the cultivators around the Martial Realm like ducks?" "Why do you make it sound like herding ducks..." Ye Lingxuan replied with a faint smile. "I believed Brother Mu would be alright, but I still wish to go back to see him as soon as possible." Ye Qian tilted her head. "Isn't that because you're worried about him?" Ye Lingxuan found herself momentarily speechless. "When I was outside of the Glazed Hall, I noticed that Brother Ye Yu's strength has improved significantly, and he seemed to be watching us," Ye Qian suddenly mentioned. Ye Lingxuan merely responded with a nonchalant "mm," leaving it at that. To Ye Lingxuan, Ye Yu was just a clan member from the Ye family, and calling him 'Brother Ye Yu' was out of courtesy. She never had any feelings for him. No, if Ye Yu had been more considerate to Ye Qian when they were young, perhaps their relationship wouldn't be so cold now. Ye Qian nodded gently and gazed at her sister's ethereal beauty. "True, Brother Ye Yu can't bring you happiness, but Brother Mu can." Ye Lingxuan immediately rolled her eyes. "What are you saying? You’re the one who likes Brother Mu; he should be your happiness." Ye Qian gazed softly at her sister and said quietly, "But haven't you already..." Ye Lingxuan paused, her usual calm smile vanished. "...You know?" Ye Qian nodded shyly. "I heard your voice outside back then... it sounded lovely—" Before she could finish, Ye Lingxuan covered her mouth, and under Ye Qian's sparkling gaze, Ye Lingxuan's face flushed with embarrassment, whispering, "Stop talking about it... It's really embarrassing." To the world, the Holy Maiden of the Forbidden Territory was a polite and graceful young lady. But in matters of love, she was utterly clueless. The encounter with Mu Zhian had been a one-time incident, and her sister's blunt mention of it made her want to vanish from embarrassment. In an attempt to change the subject, Ye Lingxuan suddenly asked, "When do you plan to tell Brother Mu how you feel?" Ye Qian shook her head with a light smile. "I'm happy as long as I can see you happy." Ye Lingxuan looked at her sister, who had grown up alongside her, with concern. She worried that this sister might be too far gone. Would she always be watching from outside when she was with Brother Mu? It was a strange hobby Ye Qian had, and Ye Lingxuan couldn't quite understand it. If possible, she'd rather see Qian'er happy independently... even if it meant sharing happiness with her. Ye Qian continued, "I'll be heading back to my room now, sister. I have some questions about the Pure World Green Lotus technique to discuss with Master at Tianhe Courtyard tomorrow." Hearing this, Ye Lingxuan appeared as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. "What's the matter?" Ye Qian noticed her sister's unease. "Brother Mu is such a flirt that I worry about Fairy Yao Meng staying in his body..." Ye Lingxuan seemed to want to say more but felt embarrassed. Ye Qian shook her head and smiled. "You overthink it, sister. Someone at the Harmonization Realm wouldn't be forced into anything by Brother Mu if she didn't wish it. And Brother Mu isn't that kind of person." Ye Lingxuan studied Ye Qian's pure smile while recalling an unforgettable moment by the Reincarnation Pool. Though at the time, Fairy Yao Meng's actions were to reshape her celestial body, the intimate gesture lingered in the mind. Now that Yao Meng had returned to the Harmonization Realm, she theoretically no longer needed Mu Zhian's spiritual energy. If analyzed this way, nothing should happen between Brother Mu and Fairy Yao Meng again... Ye Lingxuan's eyes flickered momentarily before she relaxed, smiling. "You're right." ... Early the next morning. After a night of meditation, Ye Qian felt the spiritual energy flowing within her and slowly opened her eyes, preparing to head toward Tianhe Courtyard. She dressed in exquisite attire embroidered with intricate patterns, and over it, wore a light blue jacket. At sixteen or seventeen, she was in the bloom of youth, her lovely appearance highlighting her innocence and charm. As she stepped into the courtyard, she spotted Wei Mengrou absorbing spiritual energy in front of the yard, and as soon as Wei opened her eyes, Ye Qian gave a polite bow with a gentle smile. "Sister Mengrou, have you seen Brother Mu?"
