After putting those things down, Hu Qingqing left with all her maids.

After she left, Lu Fuyue got out of bed and immediately seized every minute to begin cultivating the Phoenix Nirvana Technique.

The dark clouds dispersed, and the moonlight shone through the window onto her face. Lu Fuyue sat cross-legged in meditation, and the azure spiritual energy gradually flowed into her body from the air, making the red lotus on her forehead shine brightly.

As time went on, a phantom image of a phoenix spreading its wings appeared behind her. The Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram of life and death in her dantian floated out of thin air beneath her, spinning rapidly before transforming into two forces, one black and one white, which entered Lu Fuyue's body again, flowing through her meridians and finally returning to her dantian.

Phoenixes are born with the ability to rise from the ashes, especially the fire phoenix clan. The more dangerous the situation, the greater the chance of them rising from the ashes.

...

"Fox Lord, His Majesty has returned."

Hu Qingqing leaned against the soft couch, her hand holding the wine glass and about to pour it to her lips paused. She remained silent for a moment, not speaking.

Seeing her like this, the little demon couldn't help but feel sorry for the fox master, who had been by the venerable one's side for a long time.

She was the first pet that the Venerable One brought back, and the first demon beast to stay by his side thanks to her intelligence. In the end, she even became the Venerable One's number one subordinate.

The entire demon realm had tacitly accepted that she would be the woman who would always stay by the Venerable One's side, but unexpectedly, the Venerable One fell in love with another woman and even asked the Fox Lord to personally arrange his wedding. Wasn't this a betrayal of the Fox Lord's heart?

After an unknown amount of time, Hu Qingqing slowly spoke, "...Where is Your Majesty now?"

There were some things she wanted to ask him in person.

Little Demon: "Your Majesty should be on the cliff behind the mountain right now."

Hu Qingqing waved her hand to dismiss everyone, then tore through space and appeared directly in the back mountain.

When she arrived there, she saw a figure in blue from behind.

She was taken aback. Ever since she met the Venerable One, he had always worn only a purple robe. She had never seen him wear clothes of any other color. Could it be... because of that little phoenix?

Just as Hu Qingqing was about to say something, Yun Jing immediately sensed her presence and turned to look at her, saying, "You've come at the right time."

She was slightly taken aback.

"Do you think she would be more lenient towards me if I wore this outfit to see her today?"

Hu Qingqing froze. She remembered that this blue robe was the one that the Venerable One often wore in the bamboo forest when he lost his memory.

"...This subordinate is unaware."

Yun Jing waved her hand, his tone quite impatient, "Since you don't know, then go down and properly prepare for my wedding with her."

Hu Qingqing didn't move, and Yun Jing looked at him with some confusion.

She subconsciously clenched her fist, gritted her teeth, and looked up at Yun Jing, "Your Majesty, do you...do you know how I feel about you?"

Yun Jing quickly realized the meaning behind those words, and his face turned cold. "Are you trying to say that you like me?"

Hu Qingqing lowered her head. "Yes."

"Qingqing, have you forgotten what I said when I rescued you from the Black Mist Abyss?"

A complex emotion flashed in Hu Qingqing's eyes as she spoke with difficulty, "I know."

Yun Jing: "Then repeat what I said back then."

Hu Qingqing was silent for a moment, "I have to be good... to stay by your side."

Yun Jing nodded. "If that's the case, then what's the meaning of your questioning me now?"

"You can leave whenever you want. I've never needed you. But if you make the same mistake again, that will be the day you leave my side."

"I have no need for disobedient beings by my side."

After saying this, Yun Jing headed towards Lu Fuyue's bedroom.

The little phoenix must hold a grudge against him for treating her like a pet. If he had turned back into his original form and been willing to be her pet, perhaps she wouldn't have been so resistant to him.

Yun Jing thought about it more and more and it seemed feasible. After all, he was the only one left in their clan, and besides, his true form was not something that ordinary people could see.

However, Lu Fuyue was secretly cultivating when she suddenly sensed a disturbance. She immediately stopped and lay down on the bed.

Previously, Yun Jing not only restricted her cultivation, but also drugged her, leaving her completely powerless and unable to move. Therefore, whenever someone came, she had to pretend to be weak and helpless.

With a click, the door was pushed open a crack.

A small, round, black and white creature tiptoed in through the door, its short legs blinking as it looked at Lu Fuyue.

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Fuyue's eyes. This was... the legendary giant panda that had long been extinct?

The little black and white dumpling was secretly delighted. Although its original form was too fat and round, and looked a bit silly, there was a reason why its race had always been known as one of the cutest races in the demon realm.

Since she minded that he had treated her like a pet, he would transform himself back into his original form and give himself to her as a pet.

Lu Fuyue saw the round, black and white ball of fluff staring at her without moving, as if she were its favorite bamboo shoot.

Although she didn't show it on her face, she became wary inside.

This is the demon realm. Who knows which powerful demon might be the adorable little black and white ball in front of her, disguised to lull her into a false sense of security and spy on her?

However, just to be on the safe side, she doesn't plan to alert the enemy for the time being.

So Lu Fuyue slowly closed her eyes, not looking at it, but actually carefully observing its movements.

Seeing this, Yun Jing thought she was sleepy, so she slowly climbed onto Lu Fuyue's bed with her short legs. Unfortunately, because her body was too round, her legs looked too short, and she slipped off the bed just as she was about to climb on.

Yun Jing suddenly clenched his paws tightly, his round eyes fixed on Lu Fuyue's profile. He refused to believe he couldn't climb up; his sister was still waiting for him in bed.

However, no matter how hard he climbed, he kept slipping and falling to the ground.

However, what he didn't know was that Lu Fuyue had seen all his little actions, and her vigilance was growing deeper.

According to the Records of Cultivation, the giant panda is the most mysterious and noble race in the demon realm, and its talents are also extraordinary.

Then how come it can't even climb onto a bed? There must be something fishy going on.

After trying more than a dozen times, Yun Jing still couldn't climb up, so he secretly used a little of his demonic power and instantly flew onto the bed.

He thought Lu Fuyue's cultivation was suppressed, so she didn't notice his little tricks at all. But in fact, Lu Fuyue guessed his identity the moment he used his demonic power.
