Her mother had originally planned to give her something else, but a few days before her birthday, she accidentally fell into a lake outside the Tianxuan Sect. If someone hadn't arrived in time, she probably would have died there on the spot, given her extremely weak body at the time.

She still remembers that in that lake, there was a little boy a few years older than her who fell in with her.

...

With the help of the water-repelling beads, Lu Fuyue was soon able to breathe freely underwater.

She looked around; the underwater area was dark and gloomy, with no light shining in, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

The only thing she could sense was that she was in a body of water.

Lu Fuyue looked up at the sky, where she had been pulled down along with the ground by a mysterious force. But now there was only blackness above, and she couldn't see anything.

It's as if everything that just happened was an illusion.

Lu Fuyue pondered for a moment, then suddenly sensed that the water seemed to be flowing in a certain direction. Her eyes darkened slightly, and she swam down into the water following the direction of the current.

This body of water was like being trapped in a fixed space, all of it was black and without a trace of light. If she hadn't possessed the Water Spirit Saint Body, she probably wouldn't even have been able to see clearly in this place.

Lu Fuyue swam for an unknown amount of time following the direction of the current, as the current became increasingly strong.

Generally, the direction in which water flows may indicate an outlet.

Suddenly, it was as if something grabbed her legs and pulled her relentlessly toward a bottomless abyss not far away.

Just by looking at the dark and still water, you can tell that it's definitely an underwater cliff, and the danger is obvious.

Lu Fuyue's expression changed. She raised her hand and used her spiritual power to conjure a blade. Relying on her senses, she slashed fiercely at the thing that was grabbing her ankle.

As the blade collided with the thing, the impact sent a shiver down Lu Fuyue's spine, and the blade flew off, breaking in two. The thing, however, remained motionless, still tightly dragging Lu Fuyue towards the abyss.

Lu Fuyue's heart tightened. She raised her hand and summoned a ball of Phoenix Red Lotus Divine Fire, which she then struck the thing again.

But the flame went out suddenly before it even touched the thing.

In addition, Lu Fuyue had two iron rings on her ankles that restricted her movement, so she really couldn't break free from the thing holding her for a while.

In the blink of an eye, before Lu Fuyue could react, she was dragged to the edge of the abyss. At the same time, a deep voice rang out, seemingly calling for something.

Lu Fuyue's eyelids grew heavier and heavier, her consciousness gradually blurred, and she passed out in the last second.

She seemed to see a huge silver tail drag her to the bottom of the abyss, and amidst the violent currents, she quickly disappeared into the water.

...

Yan Nanfei, who was resting with his eyes closed on a tree, suddenly opened his eyes and leaped down.

His eyes darkened. Oh no, her presence had vanished.

A hint of worry, which even he himself didn't notice, flashed in Yan Nanfei's eyes. Could it be... that something had happened?

Upon considering this possibility, he immediately disregarded everything else, closed his eyes, and used his divine sense to carefully search for Lu Fuyue's aura inch by inch.

However, this place was originally a void realm created with a large amount of spiritual energy. Forcibly using his divine sense would very likely cause serious damage to his sea of ​​consciousness.

Gradually, Yan Nanfei's face grew paler and paler, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

How could this be? We still haven't found it...

Could something really have happened to her?

***

At the bottom of the lake, a pair of huge golden-red eyes suddenly lit up. They looked at the unconscious woman in white before them, a mysterious glint in their eyes.

In the dark waters, not a single fish was swimming; apart from a large amount of long water plants, there were only these eyes hidden in the shadows.

It seemed to want to go forward and examine Lu Fuyue more closely, but as soon as it moved, the sound of countless huge iron chains rubbing against each other rang out behind it, and it suddenly pulled its huge body back into the distance, stirring up a turbulent wave.

Interesting. I didn't expect these chains to actually prevent him from getting close to this woman.

Suddenly, he raised his head and let out a dragon's roar, charging straight at Lu Fuyue.

Lu Fuyue twitched her fingers and slowly opened her eyes. However, the next second she met the eyes of two red eyes that were the size of boulders not far away.

A chill crept up her back, and Lu Fuyue froze. What... is this thing?

And... what she just heard, could it be a dragon's roar?

Lu Fuyue's expression changed drastically, and he wanted to turn around and flee. However, he quickly calmed down. If it really was a dragon, then with his current strength, he would definitely not be able to escape.

Sure enough, the moment they sensed Lu Fuyue's attempt to escape, beams of golden light descended around her, forming a barrier that trapped her.

"Little Phoenix, how about we make a deal?"

Lu Fuyue suddenly looked up at it. The last person to call her Little Phoenix was Yun Jing.

Unexpectedly, she heard that name again after going around in circles.

However, the thing in front of him shouldn't be him, since Yun Jing's original form doesn't look like this.

A flash of golden light appeared, and the enormous figure was fully revealed in Lu Fuyue's eyes.

A giant silver dragon, several tens of meters long, coiled at the bottom of the abyss. Its body was covered with countless iron chains, each one deeply embedded in its flesh, some even dripping blood.

A hint of shock flashed in Lu Fuyue's eyes. It really was a dragon.

The silver dragon was trapped above an ancient altar with a diameter of about twenty meters. On the altar, six huge stone pillars occupied six different positions, each covered with densely packed runes.

After a moment, Lu Fuyue calmed down and looked up at him. "What deal?"

Upon hearing this, the enormous silver dragon swayed and instantly transformed into a handsome young man with a bare upper body, his silver hair flowing down his shoulders. There was a red fire mark between his eyebrows, and a pair of dark silver eyes that were mysterious and profound.

Her upper body, partially concealed by her silver hair, exuded a mysterious aura. Her lean waist revealed muscular abdominal muscles that rippled across her body. Her lower body was hidden in black, her strong and powerful physique tightly bound by countless iron chains.

Lu Fuyue was taken aback for a moment, then calmly looked away and gazed elsewhere.

A deep, magnetic laugh rang out slowly, "Excuse me, do you have any clothes?"

"I will pay."

Lu Fuyue pursed her lips, intending to take out a set of clothes from her storage ring and throw them to him.
