You're really got confused. The girl I referenced is the Nine-Tail Celestial Fox.
By the way, he'll finally married Lin An. She is his future official wife. Mu Nian Zhi is just his concubine in the novel. And surprise! In the novel he got a harem. 🤣
The main reason I never connected with Linan in the drama is mainly because of Xu Qi An in the novels.
He esp. married her in the novels because the poor girl was left without a mother, brother with the sister she never got along with becoming the Empress. The marriage was the least he could offer to her for protection.
After handling affairs, he left with Mu Nanzi to travel the world as he had promised her. Yes the novel is harem style, so the guy was essentially having a baby with every woman who could have it!😂😂😂
I mean like his official Dao partner is the Human Sect Leader.
The Nine tail fox likes strong men so her having his baby was not that surprising. FuXiang( the brothel fox) was happy whenever he remembered her but she was mainly working for the the celestial fox.
The Empress is probably going to live a long life as she is a cultivator and she needed an heir. I understand her situation as well - who else was she going to have a baby with? Every other man in the story is so mediocre compared to Xu Qi An.
I am not going to mention the random women he meets here and there.
Out of the above ladies, they are not going to portray the Human Sect leader & FuXiang as romantic interests for sure!
Please let me know if there are any other possibilities for the drama.
Mu Nanzi is interesting character as the actress playing her is shown to be older looking than ML (as was the effect of the beads in the novel too). So they might just cast someone younger looking in s2 with no break in continuity to fit her actual age.
Her actual form (a tree) is an identity shown to be as old as the Heaven Dao in the books...much older than most things. She keeps reincarnating as all her lives are cut short by greedy humans who want her power to further their cultivation. This life is the only one where she will live a long life as Xu Qi An is her protector!
