The next day at dawn, Qi Yu was awakened by a bird with a bright green coat pecking at her.

The enlarged bird face stared straight at her, and for a moment when Qi Yu was still not fully awake, she even thought it was Feng Xiao.

"Feng Xiao, stop fooling around..."

The green bird, whose name had been called by mistake, was furious. It let out a long cry and began to peck at the girl who had appeared out of nowhere.

"Chirp! Who are you?!"

Qi Yu was fully awake, and with a head full of question marks, he waved his hand and slapped the green bird to the ground.

"If it's not Fengxiao... how can it talk? Are you a parrot?"

She squinted and examined the green bird for a while, and found that the bird's markings did indeed resemble those of a parrot. She nodded in certainty and said, "It really is a parrot. I didn't expect that Commander Hua actually kept a parrot in her space."

"But why didn't she take you out, little parrot..."

"Chirp! I'm not a parrot! You silly girl! Where's Hua Nongyingren?!"

The green bird screeched and flew over to peck at Qi Yu again. Qi Yu was not usually grumpy when she woke up, but now she was a little annoyed by it.

She grabbed the green bird, frowned, and said fiercely, "Commander Hua gave me this hairpin. Now I am the master of this space. If you want to go out to find Commander Hua, I can let you out. But in my opinion, Hua Nongying probably gave me the hairpin because she doesn't want you anymore!"

After saying that, she opened the window and threw the green bird out.

The green bird was tossed into the air, its mind echoing with the words "I don't want you anymore," before it dazedly plummeted straight into the pond.

"Thump!"

Qi Yu pursed her lips as she watched the green bird being chased around by koi carp that were much larger than it in the pond, losing several feathers in the process.

The green bird scrambled out of the pond, its wings embracing its plump body, and began to wail softly with its back to her.

Qi Yu: "..."

That seems a bit excessive...

Qi Yu's gaze slowly shifted, and out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the little white bird on the bed, so she pulled it off the bed.

"Hey!" she called out somewhat guiltily.

The green bird turned around, its beady eyes looking at her warily, and said, "What are you doing!"

Qi Yu waved, signaling it to fly over. "Although Commander Hua doesn't want you anymore, I have a bird here too. You two can be good friends!"

The words "I don't want you anymore" seemed to stab the green bird in the heart again. It was furious and flapped its wings hard, wanting to call out to this strangely appearing stupid girl again.

Qi Yu watched as the green bird flew rapidly toward her. Just as the bird was about to reach her face, she smiled and picked up the little white bird in her hand to show it to the bird.

"Ta-da!"

The green bird squinted its beady eyes, then suddenly stopped when it saw the little white bird clearly, and screeched as it crashed into the window.

"Wow! It's a phoenix!!"

It fell dizzily from the window with a "plop" at Qi Yu's feet and fainted.

Xiao Hei squatted silently beside the green bird, thinking to himself, "The shock I felt back then is finally being experienced by other unlucky fellows."

“You can tell that Feng Xiao is a phoenix just by looking at her now…” Qi Yu scratched his head, picked up the green bird, and placed it next to the pillow along with Feng Xiao.

Xiao Hei: ...I'm afraid it'll faint again when it wakes up.

Qi Yu stretched and rested her chin on her hand, watching several koi fish swim around in the pond.

It's unknown whether Li Daogu has discovered that she has already escaped from Wucheng.

Qi Yu chuckled softly.

The sky's the limit. She has now changed her appearance. As long as she doesn't reveal the sword she used in front of Li Daogu, she shouldn't be recognized even if she passes by him.

Now, the priority is to collect the materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, earn more points, upgrade the system shop, and then cure the cold poison in her body.

Qi Yu calculated that she currently has about 20,000 points, and if she saves up for a while longer, she will be able to upgrade the system.

The system has almost all the materials needed for the Foundation Establishment Pill, but it is missing one thing: the Heavenly Spirit Fruit.

If it weren't for the sudden attack by the demons, Qi Yu should have followed Hua Nongying to the Crimson Forest to find the Heavenly Spirit Fruit.

But now that her plans have been disrupted, she has no choice but to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill herself. Materials that the system cannot buy have to be found by herself.

The Heavenly Spirit Fruit bears fruit only once every ten years, and is guarded by a companion demon beast. Previously, the Pill Alliance had to entrust Hua Nongying, who was in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, to pick it. However, she had not even reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet, so it would be difficult for her to pick it alone.

Let's wait until we get out and see if there are any ready-made ones. If we really can't find any, then we can consider finding someone to go to the Chirui Forest to collect them.

Qi Yu sighed, changed her clothes, and walked along the path toward the exit.

As she reached the exit, she suddenly noticed a water mirror standing at the entrance of the white cave, reflecting the outside world.

At that moment, a face that Qi Yu knew so well that it made his heart ache appeared on the water mirror.

The male lead is Chu Mo!

He remained at the spot where Qi Yu had entered the hairpin space yesterday, staring at the air with a hint of confusion.

Qi Yuping held her breath, as if she were being watched and dared not utter a sound.

Chu Mo lowered his head and thought for a moment, then took out his communication jade tablet and wrote something down.

Qi Yu squinted, trying to see the words on the communication jade scroll, but Chu Mo quickly finished writing and put the scroll away. She only saw the last few words—"Stare carefully."

"Watch closely"?

What are you staring at?

Qi Yu frowned, pondering the possibilities in his mind.

She didn't think it was a coincidence that Chu Mo would appear here.

Although it took a whole night to travel, for a cultivator with high cultivation level, it wouldn't take much time to get from here to Wucheng.

If he were well-informed, Chu Mo should have received the news yesterday.

The message reads: "Li Daogu's son was injured by a witch named Qi Yu, and Li Daogu is now pursuing Qi Yu with all his might."

In the very beginning of "Burning Heart Tribulation", Qi Yu could tell that the male protagonist Chu Mo was not a simple person. On the surface, he was an upright and honorable chosen one of heaven and a genius in cultivation. However, his various actions towards the female protagonist Burning Heart revealed his deep possessiveness towards her.

When the original owner tried to harm the female lead, he disregarded their past relationship and ruthlessly killed the original owner.

but……

Chu Mo did not witness Qi Yu's death.

Although the Netherworld Abyss is known as a place where no one can survive, what if it is?

What if this "witch" with the same name is Qi Yu, who crawled out of the Netherworld Abyss?

If Qi Yu were to appear before Fen Xin and recount his crimes, how would Fen Xin view him?

Wouldn't his image in Fenxin's heart collapse completely?

Chu Mo would not allow this possibility to exist.

Qi Yu watched Chu Mo walk away step by step with deep eyes, without rashly leaving the space.

Xiao Hei looked at Qi Yu, then at the familiar man who had rescued it from An Rong'er, and asked in confusion, "Master, is this man dangerous?"

Qi Yu's lips curled up. "If you don't have any conflict of interest with him, he should be considered easy to get along with."

"But if you pose even the slightest threat to him, then who knows what he will become."
