"Little phoenix, you have quite an appetite, daring to swallow Your Majesty's Seven-Colored Immortal Lotus."

Upon hearing that charming voice, Lu Fuyue immediately guessed who it was.

Hu Qingqing, a nine-tailed fox demon, was the first pet that Yun Jing brought back to the demon realm. She was an extremely intelligent demon, so even though Yun Jing later disliked her, she still managed to stay in the demon realm on her own and became his top general.

Unfortunately, in her memory, she had been infatuated with Yun Jing for tens of thousands of years, but in the end, she watched him fall in love with another woman. Heartbroken, she sealed herself in the abyss of the polar region.

Lu Fuyue floated on the surface of the water, slowly opened her eyes and looked at her without saying a word. She did not intend to expose herself until she had figured out whether there were any potential dangers around her.

With a smile in her eyes, Hu Qingqing reached out and tossed the red veil onto Lu Fuyue's wings. Then, with a gentle lift, Lu Fuyue landed on the floor tiles along with the veil.

Just as her red veil touched Lu Fuyue, Lu Fuyue unconsciously emitted a pressure belonging to a divine beast. However, with a wave of her hand, Hu Qingqing's pressure disappeared instantly.

"Judging from your appearance, you should still be a newly hatched phoenix. Although your bloodline is higher than mine, I have cultivated for tens of thousands of years, and my Nine-Tailed Clan is not a low-level demon beast, so naturally I am not afraid of your pressure."

Lu Fuyue blinked. To become the number one general in the demon realm, Hu Qingqing's cultivation had already reached the Tribulation Transcending stage. How could she possibly fight against such a formidable opponent?

The oppressive aura she felt just now was because she had only recently become a phoenix and was not yet fully in control of her body.

Seeing the little phoenix's bewildered expression, Hu Qingqing lightly covered her red lips with her fingertips and laughed heartily. Then, she slowly squatted down in front of Lu Fuyue.

"Little Phoenix, during this month you're with His Majesty, be a good pet. Don't make him angry, and try to make him happy. If you do well, I'll give you a reward, okay?"

Lu Fuyue was slightly taken aback, not expecting Hu Qingqing to say such a thing. It seemed that she had quite deep feelings for Yun Jing.

If she pairs Hu Qingqing and Zhi Jing together, then wouldn't Yun Jing stop liking Mu Wanwan?

However, this idea was immediately rejected by Lu Fuyue.

What if Yun Jing really doesn't like Hu Qingqing, but she forces him to be with Hu Qingqing? Wouldn't that make things even more complicated?

So she should start with Yun Jing.

However, just as Lu Fuyue was distracted, Hu Qingqing suddenly inserted a blue bead into her body.

"Little Phoenix, this is the Illusion Pearl. It can change the way outsiders see you. Your current appearance is too eye-catching. I am a kind-hearted and beautiful woman, and I love helping cute little things like you hide your identity."

Lu Fuyue's pupils suddenly contracted, and she quickly circulated her cultivation technique to check if there was anything wrong with the bead. After a long while, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was just a phantom bead.

With this illusion bead, those who haven't seen her true form will see exactly what she wants them to see. This way, even if she doesn't revert to human form, her identity as a phoenix will remain unrevealed.

Unfortunately, due to the vast difference in their cultivation levels, Hu Qingqing saw through her little trick at a glance.

However, Hu Qingqing didn't care. Anyone would be alert if something were suddenly thrown into their body. It's good that the little phoenix is ​​clever, after all, it is now the Venerable's pet, which is related to the face of the demon realm.

"Let's go, little phoenix, His Majesty will take you out today."

...

Soon, Lu Fuyue was brought to Zhijing's door by Hu Qingqing. "Your Excellency, Little Phoenix has brought you here."

As soon as she finished speaking, the door was suddenly opened, and a purple figure appeared. Before Lu Fuyue could see the person's face clearly, he grabbed her by the neck and pulled her into his arms.

Warm, large hands gently stroked the glossy golden-red feathers on her body. Lu Fuyue's body stiffened, and a strong sense of resistance welled up from the bottom of her heart. She subconsciously broke free from Zhijing's embrace and jumped down.

Forget it, I'd better find a chance to slip away. Being held by someone is too uncomfortable. She's really not suited to lying obediently in someone else's arms like a pet.

However, she didn't notice that the man behind her was looking at her with narrowed eyes, his expression meaningful, "Little Phoenix, come back."

A deep, magnetic voice slowly rang out. Lu Fuyue paused, realizing something was wrong. Yun Jing's temper was unpredictable, and he only made an exception for Mu Wanwan. But her actions just now had undoubtedly challenged his bottom line.

Sure enough, the next second a demonic force tightly bound her body, and then the demonic force suddenly withdrew, and her entire body fell back into the man's arms.

Yun Jing lowered his head and sighed softly, "Little Phoenix, have I ever told you that as my pet, you must be obedient and not try to rebel against me, otherwise even if you are a phoenix, I will kill you without mercy."

Lu Fuyue felt a chill run down her spine. How could she forget that a man who could become the ruler of the demon realm was not someone to be trifled with, especially since he was a great demon who was just a step away from ascending to immortality.

It seems I need to make a good plan so that I can keep my identity from being exposed, prevent him from falling in love with Mu Wanwan, and then quickly return to my original world after obtaining the wooden strings.

Yun Jing looked at the little phoenix in his arms, who had finally become obedient, and a dark light flashed in his eyes. Sure enough, obedient little pets are the cutest.

...

A few days later, Yun Jing arrived in Mu City carrying the little phoenix in his arms.

A month ago, he received news that the Lord of Mu City had obtained a treasure called the Floating Life Mirror. Entering the Floating Life Mirror, one could experience the mundane world of love and desire in just a few hours.

Worldly love? Ha, he has lived for tens of thousands of years but has never experienced what worldly love is. This is a good opportunity for him to see it for himself.

Lu Fuyue opened her eyes and carefully looked around. This was the first time she had seen anyone cultivating since she came to this place.

The streets were filled with cultivators, the weakest of whom were at the peak of Qi Refining, and the most common were Nascent Soul cultivators.

Lu Fuyue was unaware that Yun Jing's gaze towards her had become more inquisitive.

Half an hour later, the two arrived in front of a magnificent mansion.

Upon seeing this, the servant at the door immediately came forward, "Does the senior have an invitation?"

Yun Jing's eyes flickered slightly, and then with a flick of his sleeve, a golden-red mark appeared out of thin air in his palm. The servant's expression changed, and he immediately became respectful, "Senior Lin, please."

He did not come under the identity of the Lord of the Demon Realm, since the relationship between humans and demons has never been good. So this time he disguised himself as Lin Zhixing, a rogue cultivator at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm.
