It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists-Chapter 406: Only Children Have to Choose

An ordinary person would be intimidated.

But a closer look revealed a hint of panic beneath her cold demeanor and a blush on her cheeks.

Her eyes flickered, adding a touch of allure to her usually cold appearance.

Lan Feiying, on the other hand, sat with her legs crossed, her demeanor languid and seductive, looking at Mu Zhian playfully.

“I thought you were planning to hide until Sister left,” she said with a smile.

Mu Zhian looked at the alluring beauty, remembering their time together in Tianxuan City, and shook his head helplessly. “So you didn’t think we could fool Senior Sister either?”

He had almost been lost in Lan Feiying’s gentle embrace, forgetting to think rationally.

Senior Sister was the number one Nascent Soul genius in the Nine Provinces. Her talent was undeniable.

How could such an intelligent woman not notice something amiss in the room?

Lan Feiying chuckled softly. “I didn’t think we could fool Sister, but I sincerely wanted to help you hide.”

“After all…”

She looked at the woman in white, who seemed uncomfortable with the atmosphere in the room, and smiled. “If Sister knew you and I were intimate in her room, she would be angry.”

Mu Zhian chuckled. “If you really wanted to help me, Feiying, you wouldn’t be wearing Senior Sister’s clothes and pretending to be her.”

Lan Feiying scoffed, playing with a strand of hair. “Although Sister and I look alike, we’re still different. Can’t you tell us apart?”

This topic was dangerous. If they continued, it might become ‘If you truly loved us, how could you not tell us apart?’…

“Of course I can tell you apart. It was just difficult under the circumstances,” Mu Zhian said, then changed the subject. “Besides, Feiying, you’re good at disguises. You’ve fooled me before in Tianxuan City.”

“In a sense, I’m so vigilant now partly because of your… training.”

Lan Feiying’s heart stirred. She wanted to say, You turned from an innocent boy into a playboy, and now you’re a master of managing a harem… What does that have to do with me?

But she remembered when they were still at the Morning Dawn Auction House, Mu Zhian often visited her under the pretext of auctioning items. After a few times, she naturally sensed his intentions and teased him, saying he was too young and immature.

*T/N: Morning Dawn Auction House is the same as Morning Glory Chamber of Commerce*

In the following years, Mu Zhian seemed to realize the Mu family’s power and influence in Tianxuan City and gradually became a playboy, pursuing many girls. When he saw her at the auction house, he was no longer as ‘passive’ as before.

Perhaps to Mu Zhian at that time, being mature and composed meant being able to handle any woman with ease.

“It’s quite a coincidence that you received the paper crane Sister casually threw away in Tianxuan City,” Lan Feiying said with a sigh.

I think it’s fate. The older sister I liked in Tianxuan City and my ‘online friend’ are actually sisters… Mu Zhian complained inwardly.

Lan Mulian looked at Mu Zhian, a strange glint in her eyes. “So you mistook Feiying for me?”

Mu Zhian said helplessly, “Feiying is dressed exactly like you, Senior Sister. It’s not strange that I mistook her for you.”

“And the room was dark.”

“Although you mistook me for Sister… what do you mean by this now?”

Lan Feiying’s words pulled Lan Mulian back to reality.

Lan Mulian immediately reacted, glancing at Mu Zhian’s hand holding Lan Feiying’s. A hint of shyness flickered in her cold eyes.

Currently, on the soft bed, there were two women and one man.

And Lan Mulian was one of the women…

Two sisters being intimate with the same man… If it were the past Lan Mulian, she would have looked at them with disdain and turned away, expressing her contempt for this man in her heart.

After all, she was the only Nascent Soul genius in the Nine Provinces, the champion of the Ascension Ceremony, with countless admirers in the Eastern Continent. How could she have imagined being in the same room with Feiying, intimate with the same boy…

Lan Mulian gently pushed Mu Zhian’s hand away, pursed her lips, and said in a calm, cold voice, “Junior Brother, please behave yourself.”

Mu Zhian looked at her silently.

He knew she was incredibly proud. Even now, with a charming blush on her icy face, she maintained her composure and her pride.

Although Mu Zhian was a veteran in the garden of love, he was still slightly intimidated by this cold and noble woman’s aloof attitude.

But he couldn’t help but glance at Lan Mulian again, his gaze lingering on her ample bosom straining against her dress.

A surge of ‘courage’ filled his heart.

He took Lan Mulian’s cool hand, which was resting on her knee.

Her hand was smooth and soft, cool to the touch, and Mu Zhian could feel her body tremble slightly as he held it.

“Who are you choosing, Junior Brother?”

Lan Mulian turned her head away, a strand of hair falling across her beautiful face.

“I said before, I don’t want to choose Senior Sister or Feiying,” Mu Zhian said seriously.

Lan Feiying suddenly said softly, “Do you know about Sister’s and my past?”

Mu Zhian hesitated, then nodded silently.

He had heard about their father, partly from conversations with Senior Sister and partly from his interaction with Lan Wu.

For the sake of the Clan Leader position, Lan Mulian’s father had sent their mother away, and he never saw her again, not even on her deathbed. Even now, their mother’s memorial tablet couldn’t be placed in the Lan family’s ancestral hall, as it wasn’t recognized by the elders.

Naturally, the two sisters hated unfaithful men.

But what does an unfaithful man have to do with me…?

“I know what you’re trying to say, Feiying, but I’m just… affectionate. And by chance, I happen to like both you and Senior Sister,” Mu Zhian sighed, defending himself.

Don’t lump me together with those unfaithful men. I’m just affectionate. What’s wrong with liking two sisters at the same time?

He hadn’t done anything to hurt the girls around him.

On the contrary, he had always contributed the spiritual energy from his Innate Celestial Furnace and even offered his treasures to his Dao Companions… so much so that his Innate Celestial Furnace was never full…

Before his cauldron was even full, it was almost empty again.

As if remembering some ‘unpleasant’ memories, Mu Zhian subconsciously rubbed his waist.

A warm fire burned in the room.

Lan Mulian, in her white dress, glanced at Mu Zhian coldly. “You like any beautiful woman. It’s not just Feiying and me.”

Mu Zhian shook his head helplessly. “The Nine Provinces are vast, and there are many beautiful women, but I don’t like everyone… It’s all just a coincidence. Did you think I knew you and Feiying were sisters when I was exchanging letters with you?”

Lan Mulian fell silent.

He was right. She couldn’t argue with that.

Mu Zhian sighed softly. “I didn’t even know Feiying was from the Lan family. In fact, I was the one being played by you two.”

Lan Mulian glanced at the handsome boy. “We didn’t intend to hide it from you. We just couldn’t find the right opportunity.”

You were clearly just teasing me… Mu Zhian complained inwardly.

Then, he suddenly asked, “Don’t you believe me, Senior Sister?”

Lan Mulian was stunned, not understanding.

“Both you and Feiying are people I cherish. So, regardless of whether Senior Sister agrees or not, I’ll go to the Lan family with you,” Mu Zhian said.

Lan Feiying frowned slightly. “This trip to the Lan family isn’t for fun. If you come with us, you might be targeted.”

Their relationship with the Lan family was already delicate. They might be going there because of their mother, but if Mu Zhian went with them, he might be viewed differently by the other Lan family members.

After all, Mu Zhian already had a Dao Companion, and now he was with both of them… It would inevitably cause gossip.

Mu Zhian shook his head, smiling. “I’m open and honest. I don’t mind if people gossip or target me. I’m more worried about you two going back alone.”

“You’re only at the Core Formation realm. It won’t make much difference if you come with us,” Lan Mulian said coldly.

Although she sounded like she was looking down on his cultivation, she was actually worried about his safety.

Mu Zhian chuckled. “Senior Sister, have you forgotten that you were just… suppressed by a Core Formation cultivator a few days ago?”

That’s different. I was suppressed because… Lan Mulian glared at Mu Zhian, a complex look in her eyes.

She knew she should be angry, scolding him for his blatant infidelity and for shamelessly embracing both of them.

But looking at Mu Zhian’s face, she couldn’t bring herself to be angry.

And Feiying didn’t seem angry at all…

Lan Mulian looked at the alluring woman beside Mu Zhian. “Don’t you mind?”

“I’ve known him for a long time. I’m aware of his… nature. If it were another woman here tonight, I would mind.”

Lan Feiying looked at her cold, beautiful sister and smiled charmingly. “But if it’s Sister… When we were young, we even shared clothes. Why can’t we share a man?”

Feiying truly understands me… Mu Zhian was touched.

“However,”

Just as he was about to speak, Lan Feiying continued, “Your body hasn’t fully recovered yet. You should stay at Two Polarities Peak. The Lan family’s matters are complicated. You don’t need to get involved.”

Lan Mulian looked at her sister with a complex expression, then hummed in agreement. “Feiying and I will handle this ourselves. You should stay at Two Polarities Peak and recover.”

Then, she suddenly chuckled softly. “There are other women at Two Polarities Peak now. You can be intimate with them while Feiying and I are away—”

Lan Mulian suddenly stopped as Mu Zhian gently pushed her onto the bed. At the same time, another alluring beauty joined them.

Mu Zhian looked at the two beauties on the bed, their contrasting temperaments creating a captivating scene. The younger sister’s eyes were alluring and seductive, while the older sister’s face was cold and aloof, but a hint of shyness flickered in her eyes.

“I’m also considered a future son-in-law of the Lan family. This is our matter, so we should deal with it together,” Mu Zhian said softly.

As for Senior Sister saying that the Lan family’s matters were complicated… From Qi Condensation to Transcendence, what kind of situations hadn’t he, Mu Zhian, seen?

He could even single-handedly suppress the only Transcendence Realm cultivator in the Nine Provinces.

The Lan family was indeed a powerful ancient clan in the Eastern Continent, but so what?

He had been locked up in a dungeon before… Although that was just Yao Meng’s playful prank, he wasn’t afraid of even a Transcendence Realm expert, let alone the Lan family.

Lan Feiying’s eyes were moist as she bit her lip, staring at Mu Zhian. She suddenly giggled. “You’re quite confident, aren’t you?”

Mu Zhian leaned down and kissed his younger sister on the lips, his hand caressing his older sister’s cold face. He whispered,

“The best is yet to come.”
