After clearing the level, the fairies were reborn!

The Empress Dowager's back garden is located deep within the palace.

The garden is filled with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, and the pavilions and towers are scattered in a well-organized manner.

Sunlight streamed through the clouds, casting a soft golden glow on the flowers and plants.

Even the air is filled with a faint fragrance; taking a breath makes you feel refreshed.

"This place is nice."

Beside Xu Ze, Bai Yuxi looked around with curiosity in her eyes.

Ding Wan didn't speak, but walked quietly, her eyes taking in her surroundings.

She was very vigilant.

Ding Wan instinctively felt a sense of apprehension towards this woman, whose power was beyond her imagination and unlikely to be surpassed in a short time.

This woman's sudden invitation to the back garden is definitely not a good thing.

Mu Yan walked ahead, her dark gold phoenix robe fluttering gently in the wind.

Her steps were elegant and graceful, each step seemingly walking on clouds.

"Qinghe, look who your mother has brought to you."

really.

After crossing a small bridge, a pavilion comes into view.

In the pavilion, a small figure sat on a stone bench, swinging his legs listlessly.

It was Mu Qinghe.

Upon seeing Xu Ze, the little girl's eyes lit up, and she jumped off the stone bench to run over.

"Brother~"

"stop."

Mu Yan's voice rang out, neither too loud nor too soft.

Mu Qinghe paused, her smile freezing on her face.

She was originally brought back from Xu Ze's palace, and was told that she would soon see her sweetheart. The little girl was very happy.

But after being suddenly yelled at like that, she stood there helplessly, not knowing what to do.

"Mother, Empress Dowager..."

Mu Yan looked at her, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

"Have you been having a lot of fun these days?"

Mu Qinghe quickly lowered her head and said timidly:

"N-nothing..."

The stunningly beautiful woman withdrew her gaze, walked into the pavilion, and sat down on the stone bench.

"Come in, everyone."

Mu Yan waved to the group.

Ding Wan and Bai Yuxi exchanged a glance; of course they recognized Mu Qinghe.

I knew about this famous Ninth Princess of the Central Continent Dynasty when I was in Beiju Luzhou.

That arrogant and domineering demeanor didn't seem like an act.

Unexpectedly, she was so well-behaved in the palace.

Although the two women had their doubts, they still went over.

The group entered the pavilion and took their seats.

On the stone table, there were several plates of delicate pastries and a pot of tea.

Mu Yan picked up her teacup and took a small sip.

"I know what you're all thinking."

Her voice was soft, yet it made everyone present tense.

"Ding Wan, Bai Yuxi, and Qing He."

She called out names one by one.

“You all like Xu Ze and want to be his only woman.”

The expressions on the faces of the three people changed simultaneously.

"Mother!" Mu Qinghe cried out anxiously.

How can you say these things so directly?

Everyone is clearly very willing to 'share'.

Mu Yan raised her hand, interrupting her:

"No need to explain or pretend, I can see right through you."

"Because even I have the same thought."

She put down her teacup and looked at Xu Ze.

That exquisitely beautiful face, paired with that enormous, delicate body, gave off an overwhelming sense of oppression.

"What do you suggest we do?"

Xu Ze looked at her, unsure of what to say.

What exactly does this woman want to do?

They've already said everything they truly felt in the secret realm, so why are they now being forced to make a choice again?

Seeing the young man's conflicted expression, Mu Yan suddenly smiled.

That smile was charming and alluring, yet it gave Xu Ze an ominous premonition.

“Since you like them all,” she said slowly, “then let them all stay.”

These words sounded very kind, but Ding Wan immediately frowned:

"……What do you mean?"

Mu Yan did not answer.

She simply raised her hand and waved it gently.

A golden light emanated from her fingertips, instantly enveloping the entire pavilion.

The light transformed into a massive protective shield, trapping the group inside.

"not good!"

Ding Wan suddenly stood up and gripped the Qingyun Sword tightly.

"This is her little world!"

Bai Yuxi also stood up, her nine tails instantly unfurling, and her demonic power surged.

Mu Qinghe was extremely anxious and paced around in circles:

"Mother! What are you doing!"

Mu Yan stood up, walked to the edge of the light barrier, and looked back at them.

That look in his eyes carried a hint of smugness, a hint of cunning, and a hint of provocation.

"Not just anyone can enter my back garden," she said softly. "Since you're here, stay put."

"I will release you once you have thought it through."

After saying that, she turned and left.

"Mu Yan!"

"Mother!"

"That crazy woman!"

The three people shouted behind her, but Mu Yan didn't turn around.

Her figure gradually disappeared into the clouds and mist.

Inside the pavilion, only three people remained, staring at each other in bewilderment.

Ding Wan's face turned ashen.

Bai Yuxi stomped her feet in anger.

Mu Qinghe was so anxious she almost cried.

Xu Ze stood aside, watching this scene, feeling a splitting headache.

That crazy woman, she's capable of anything.

He looked at the three women trapped inside the light barrier and sighed.

"Don't worry." Xu Ze took a breath and said, "I'll think of a way."

The three of them looked at him at the same time.

That look, though full of expectation and trust, seemed to hold more... resentment.

Xu Ze was having a headache.

In the real world, Ding Wan and Bai Yuxi hadn't even resolved their differences yet, and now their romance in the game is going to be like this too...

How do you break out of this chaotic situation?

Just when he felt extremely helpless.

Suddenly, the 'back garden' in front of us began to rise slowly, flying towards the sea of ​​clouds.

For cultivators in the Mahayana stage, the path to ascension is only one step away, and creating their own world is no longer a difficult task.

Mu Yan has spent many years in this palace, all to transform it into what it is today.
