So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

For Mu Zhian, although there had been several frictions between the Western Region and the Eastern Continent before, and the relationship between the two sides was extremely bad, this did not affect his cooperation with the Western Region.

In the final analysis, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Now that there is a common imaginary enemy, the Western Region will not make any betrayal in the short term.

Just to be on the safe side, he needs to make another layer of insurance.

Miaoyi Bodhisattva is the best candidate for this insurance.

It's just that he had been troubled by not knowing how to conquer this female Bodhisattva, and he never found a suitable opportunity.

And judging from the expression of Miaoyi Bodhisattva when she returned to the Zen room at this moment, it seems that something unpleasant happened not long ago.

Perhaps, this will be an opportunity.

"Your expression seems to be different from usual. What happened?" Mu Zhian asked with a concerned tone.

Miaoyi Bodhisattva naturally did not intend to tell Mu Zhian what happened before, and said calmly: "It's just a small matter, Mr. Mu, don't worry about it."

"Compared to this, if nothing unexpected happens, the Samsara Forbidden Land should send someone to take you away from Nalanda Temple in the next two days. You must be prepared before that."

Mu Zhian smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I'm mentally prepared."

As he said, he seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but sighed: "After this separation, I don't know when we will meet again."

Miaoyi Bodhisattva said calmly: "As long as there is fate, it is not difficult to see each other again, unless Mr. Mu is trapped in the Samsara Forbidden Land from now on and it is difficult to leave."

But this is impossible. Even if Mu Zhian is really trapped in the forbidden land in the end, someone will take him out of the Samsara Forbidden Land.

After all, there are more people who want the natural furnace and cauldron aura than those three forbidden lands.

"You don't look very happy, what happened?" Mu Zhian asked.

Bodhisattva Miaoyi glanced at Mu Zhian: "Mr. Mu is really perceptive."

Mu Zhian smiled: "Observing people's emotional changes is what I am good at."

After that, he stopped talking.

After a while, the female Bodhisattva stared at Mu Zhian: "Aren't you curious about what happened to me just now?"

"I am indeed curious, but I think you won't answer if I ask you. You will tell me when you want to."

Hearing Mu Zhian's words, Bodhisattva Miaoyi could not help but remain silent.

In any case, the dispute between her and Manjusri Bodhisattva about the power of sentient beings is also an internal matter of the Western Regions. It is not convenient for Mu Zhian to know about it.

Even if they are now in a cooperative relationship with Mu Zhian.

Afterwards, she suddenly glanced at Mu Zhian and frowned inadvertently.

This young man has that kind of thought about her again...

She couldn't help but sigh softly, and her originally cold tone also added a bit of helplessness: "Mr. Mu obviously already has a Taoist partner, why is he still so obsessed with me?"

"You don't have to lie, I can see a person's seven emotions and six desires. In front of me, none of your desires can escape my eyes."

"The Tao rhyme you practice is really troublesome."

Mu Zhian smiled: "But since you said so, then Mu will not hide it."

Mu Zhian suddenly stretched out his hand and boldly grabbed the soft little hand of the female Bodhisattva.

Before Bodhisattva Miaoyi could get angry, Mu Zhian said, "I do like you... but I will also respect your wishes. From now on, I will not pester you anymore."

Bodhisattva Miaoyi was stunned for a moment, and then she spoke in a cold tone: "If that's the case, why did you hold my hand before, say those love words to me, and even tell me that I can ascend to heaven with the help of the natural furnace?"

Mu Zhian smiled bitterly and said, "If I say that I just couldn't control my impulse at the time and simply wanted to express my inner thoughts, would you believe it?"

"I don't mean anything else, I just like you, that's all."

Bodhisattva Miaoyi was stunned, and her cold eyes slightly fluctuated.

Like...?

If she hadn't confirmed the sincerity in Mu Zhian's eyes, and even felt the sincerity in his heart, she would have even doubted whether she had heard it wrong.

This little cultivator who already has a Taoist partner actually said "like" so bluntly?

Even though she could feel Mu Zhian's sincerity, she still felt it was quite unreal.

This young man, isn't it enough to have the Green Emperor?

And she is a bodhisattva from the Western Regions... It's impossible for the two of them.

Bodhisattva Miaoyi fell into a brief silence, her eyes inadvertently glanced to one side, she didn't want to look into Mu Zhian's sincere eyes again.

After a moment of silence, she said softly: "Mr. Mu, it's impossible for you and me. If I agree to become a Taoist partner with you, my bodhisattva status will change, and the resonance between the Heavenly Dao and me will no longer exist."

Several great men in Jiuzhou basically chose to resonate with the Heavenly Dao, even the Western Regions were no exception.

It's just that the cultivation method in the Western Regions is more special. Only by inheriting the "fruit position" of the Western Regions first can you resonate with the Dao.

And to inherit the Bodhisattva status, you must cut off the emotional ties and abandon the seven emotions and six desires.

But even so, the Qing Emperor's way of purifying the heart says that you should forget your emotions, but she didn't forget her emotions... Anyway, she became more attractive.

"It doesn't matter, I can understand the Bodhisattva's feelings, in fact, I also know that you can't accept me."

Mu Zhian raised his head and showed a helpless smile: "Bodhisattva Miaoyi, I know some of my words may be a blasphemy to you, because the law practiced in the Western Regions requires cutting off the seven emotions and six desires, and having no desires or demands."

"It's just that before leaving, I want to express my true thoughts in my heart anyway, at least without regrets."

There was a strong sincerity in his tone.

This time, Bodhisattva Miaoyi was silent.

Although her Buddhist heart had been firm before, Mu Zhian's words made her a little confused for a while.

It is very common for Bodhisattvas in the Western Regions to reject the love of mortal monks.

Because in the past, those monks were attracted by her beauty.

And Mu Zhian... well, it seems that he was also attracted by her beauty.

But unlike others, this young man is very sincere, and... the aura of the natural furnace is indeed wonderful.

"Goodbye."

Mu Zhian did not give the female Bodhisattva any time to think. After a reluctant look at her, he raised his hands and bowed, turned around and walked out of the room.

Miaoyi Bodhisattva was stunned and subconsciously said, "Where are you going?"

Her eyes were a little complicated, and she subconsciously took a half step forward.

But in the end, she stopped and did not stop Mu Zhian.

Mu Zhian looked back at the female Bodhisattva and whispered, "Didn't you also say that the day of the transaction between the Western Region and the Forbidden Land is approaching, and I should go and prepare in advance."

"In addition, Mu has one last suggestion for you. The Heavenly Dao has human nature, which means that resonating with it means being at its mercy. If possible, give up the Heavenly Dao as soon as possible."

After that, he did not hesitate any more and turned to walk towards the door of the Zen room.

He did not intend to persuade Miaoyi Bodhisattva to resonate with the new Heavenly Dao. After all, a forced melon is not sweet, and there is no need for this.

Miaoyi Bodhisattva quietly watched Mu Zhian's back.

For some reason, seeing him leave so resolutely, the female bodhisattva felt an indescribable sense of loss in her heart.

When Mu Zhian was about to step out of the door, a cold voice suddenly came from behind: "Can I ask you a question?"

"You pursued me and even expressed your motive for liking me. Is it because of my appearance and this body, or do you have other feelings?"

Silence permeated the Zen room.

Mu Zhian slowly turned around and looked at Miaoyi Bodhisattva.

"There is no doubt that you are a very beautiful woman... Even among the people I have seen, you are the most beautiful one, but I will pursue you not just for the vulgar reasons of beauty or body."

He walked slowly to the front of Miaoyi Bodhisattva, looked up at the white-clothed woman standing on the lotus, and whispered: "Your appearance of all living beings reminds me of a woman I saw when I was born."

"That was a memory I just recalled not long ago. I can be sure that the woman was not my mother, but she was very gentle. At that time, her face looked very tired. There were still traces of tears on her face, but strangely, she smiled... It was a very warm smile."

"Although that face is so blurred that I can hardly remember it now, I have a feeling of nostalgia."

"From your appearance of all living beings, I saw that blurred but very beautiful face."

Miaoyi Bodhisattva's eyes moved slightly and asked: "I know that the higher the realm of a cultivator, the more he can recall the memories of his childhood... But you have been enlightened for a while, why did you only remember this memory recently?"

"It may be because the shielded secrets are gradually disappearing." Mu Zhian said softly.

The original Jiuzhou seemed to be covered by an invisible black curtain, and now, the black curtain was gradually being devoured by the coming Heavenly Dao.

Mu Zhian originally wondered if the blurred face in his memory was the Sect Master, but he quickly denied this conjecture.

Because in his impression, the Sect Master's sister was so calm and indifferent that she could not show a smile of joy and tears.

"Of course, in my eyes, you are not a substitute for that person. Now I want to cherish the person in front of me more."

At this moment, Mu Zhian's eyes were full of affection, and there seemed to be a wisp of pink breath in the dark eyes.

For some reason, a strong desire suddenly surged in the heart of Miaoyi Bodhisattva.

Not only because of the spiritual temptation of the natural furnace, but also because of Mu Zhian's sincerity that shook her will.

And when Miaoyi Bodhisattva's thoughts were still in chaos, Mu Zhian suddenly reached out and grabbed one of her wrists, and then gently pulled it, stepped directly on the lotus, and roughly hugged her soft waist into his arms.

Miaoyi Bodhisattva did not make any resistance.

With her ability, it would be easy to stop Mu Zhian, but she never did it.

She just lowered her head slightly, like a kind mother who pities all living beings, and put her hand on the back of Mu Zhian's head, gently stroking his hair, letting him hold her delicate body in his arms.

"Sorry, I can't help it..."

Mu Zhian gazed at the female Bodhisattva affectionately and said softly: "If you refuse, it's not too late now."

After he finished speaking, under Miaoyi Bodhisattva's panic-stricken eyes for the first time, he kissed her red lips.

It was just lips touching each other, and she had even tried it once before.

However, the feeling when Mu Zhian took the initiative was completely different from the feeling she took the initiative that time.

The soft touch and warm breath make people want to leave all their worries behind and just want to immerse themselves in this forbidden love.

Miaoyi Bodhisattva's body trembled slightly, but his face remained sullen, but there was a hint of shyness in his eyes as cold as glass, and he subconsciously took half a step back.

Mu Zhian seized the opportunity to stop the slender waist of the female Bodhisattva and pressed forward.

Miaoyi Bodhisattva was pressed to the floor by him, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her soft little hands seemed a little confused as to where to place them.

The two of them were face to face, and their breath seemed to be blowing on each other's face. After the young man in front of her stared at her for a long time, he couldn't help but admired: "She is indeed a Bodhisattva from the Western Regions. She is so beautiful."

These words are indeed true, but with the rich emotional experience of this young man, he probably has said it to many women... The thought of Miaoyi Bodhisattva just flashed through his mind, and before he could speak, Mu Zhian's mouth was touched again. Kiss her, feeling the touch of her soft lips.

Time passed silently.

After an unknown amount of time, the originally tight body gradually relaxed. The female Bodhisattva slowly opened her misty eyes. Her beautiful face was extremely hot, and there was a touch of affection on her brows, allowing Mu Zhian to pursue her.

Stimulate.

Pleasure.

And...taboos.

This is not the emotion a Bodhisattva from the Western Regions should have.

This is Nalanda Temple, and being intimate in a place like this is not allowed.

But the strength in her body seemed to be drained, and she had no strength to push Mu Zhian away.

In other words, I don't want to push him away.

Yes...

Ever since she took the initiative to try the spiritual energy of the Tiantian Furnace Cauldron, she had fallen in love with that feeling.

With the blessing of her rules in the Western Region, it would be easy to push Mu Zhian away or even suppress him.

But she didn't do that.

Because she was deliberately seducing the young man in front of her and longing to bathe in the aura of the natural furnace.

Not only did he want the little spiritual energy he got during the kiss, but he wanted more... more furnace spiritual energy.

Miaoyi Bodhisattva's soft little hands tightly grasped the hem of the plain white skirt, and slowly opened her eyes with a hint of charm.

Then, she held the boy's face, leaned into his ear, and said a seductive voice that even she felt was strange and sweet:

"You can do whatever you want, you're welcome~"
