Enveloped by vast fields of spider lilies, Lu Fuyue had her eyes tightly closed, her brows furrowed, and her expression conveyed an unbearable pain, as if her heart was being torn apart.

She watched as the spider lily spirit willingly died for mere love, succumbing to the machinations of mortals, ultimately suffering the fate of being possessed and her soul scattered. A wave of pain, of betrayal and being discarded like trash, surged from the deepest recesses of her heart.

Although Lu Fuyue was still unable to wake up, her mind was extremely clear. She quickly guessed that everything was done by the fragrance from earlier, and it was that fragrance that allowed her to see these scenes and empathize with them.

Unfortunately, no matter what the person behind this was thinking, she would never give up her life for a man like that woman, let alone abandon her dignity step by step and let the man trample on her under his feet!

Lu Fuyue circulated her spiritual power and instantly broke free from the spider lily vines binding her. The pain in her heart gradually disappeared, the illusion shattered, she opened her eyes, pushed herself up with one hand, summoned the Weak Water Zither, and raised her hand to play the zither.

At the same time, the Phoenix Red Lotus Divine Fire on her body emerged from the red lotus on her forehead and surrounded Lu Fuyue.

Instantly, all the spider lilies around her retreated frantically as if they had encountered something terrifying. In less than a moment, there was not a single spider lily left within a radius of 100 meters centered on her.

Suddenly, all around fell silent, devoid of any sign of life!

Suddenly, the small boat on the banks of the River of Oblivion stopped at the shore, and applause rang out—clap clap clap!

"After millions of years, a water spirit body has finally appeared. Coupled with this captivating appearance, she is truly an excellent vessel for possession!"

Suddenly, a woman dressed in bright red stepped off the boat with a lantern, then looked at Lu Fuyue with a beaming smile, as if those words had not come from her own mouth.

Lu Fuyue paused in her movements, looked up at the newcomer, but under the invisible pressure emanating from him, she had no power to resist. Her heart sank even further.

While secretly circulating her internal energy to try to ease the restraints on her body and buy time, Lu Fuyue raised her eyes to look at the woman in red and slowly said, "If I'm not mistaken, the woman in the dream just now was your sister, wasn't she?"

The woman in red was taken aback, lowering her head to fiddle with her hair, but her eyes were extremely sharp: "Hahaha, how did you guess?"

Lu Fuyue pursed her lips and said, word by word, "Because, in my dream, I felt her guilt towards you. In her heart, the person she feels most sorry for is you!"

Upon hearing this, Hongman's expression suddenly changed, and the lantern in her hand suddenly fell to the ground.

She suddenly appeared in front of Lu Fuyue, grabbed her by the neck, and dragged her close, shouting, "What did you say? She'll regret it? That selfish idiot will regret it?"

Without realizing it, someone tightened their grip on her neck, and the next second, Lu Fuyue's neck was tightly choked, making it difficult for her to breathe: "You... want to save her, want... want to use me as a vessel, but unfortunately, I... my body is not something anyone can use."

No one has ever dared to possess the true form of the phoenix!

Hongman's pupils contracted slightly, and she released her grip on Lu Fuyue's neck.

She looked down at Lu Fuyue with narrowed eyes: "What do you mean?"

Lu Fuyue was forcefully thrown to the ground, her entire body lying face down, panting heavily.

Even though her cultivation speed was already fast enough, she was still powerless to resist when real danger came. Just like now, her opponent's cultivation level was far higher than hers, and she had no power to resist at all before her life was firmly in someone's grasp.

They really are weak.

After a moment, Lu Fuyue finally caught her breath. She lowered her head and suddenly laughed, then slowly turned her head and looked up at the woman who had almost killed her.

"Everyone says that the old woman in the Ghost Market is knowledgeable about the yin and yang worlds and knows everything about the world. But who knows that even though she has schemed and plotted for most of her life, there are some things she just can't predict!"

Lu Fuyue gave a sarcastic smile: "Old hag, don't you think so?"

How did you guess my identity?

Lu Fuyue did not answer, but said again: "After I entered the Netherworld City, every step I took was in your hands, wasn't it? And the little girl who stopped me at the entrance of the Netherworld City was also you, wasn't she?"

"If that's the case, then why couldn't you calculate that my body not only couldn't save her, but would also harm her?"

The old woman's body stiffened slightly, but she quickly recovered and looked at Lu Fuyue without a trace of a smile in her eyes. "Are you talking about the wisp of phoenix divine fire in your body, or the meager phoenix bloodline within you?"

"Hahaha, so what? As long as your bloodline is extracted and refined, that idiot can still be resurrected inside you."

"Even if she is just a frail and sickly mortal after being resurrected, I will definitely find a way to save her."

Lu Fuyue's eyes narrowed slightly. Sure enough, not everything in this world could be predicted by the old woman.

For example, her true identity...

"Did you ever ask her if she would like to come back to life as a mortal?"

The old woman threw her head back and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, so what if she doesn't want to? She was willing to become a mortal and die for a man back then, so why doesn't she want to die for her own sister?"

"Fool, truly a fool. For a man who doesn't love her, she's willing to die for him. I doubt even the bodhisattvas worshipped by mortals are as kind as her."

The old woman's anger surged. To avoid further trouble, she glared at Lu Fuyue and struck her in the chest.

However, at that moment, a light blue phoenix phantom suddenly appeared and blocked Lu Fuyue's way. The phoenix cried out and its terrifying power deflected the attack that was about to hit Lu Fuyue.
