This is a red world.

To be precise, this is a world purely of fire.

The flowers, grasses, tall trees, and sparse forests are all shades of red.

The mountains, rocks, land, shallow water, and deep pools are all shades of red.

The air wasn't scorching hot, but the moment you stepped into this area, even the slightest hint of irritability was amplified a thousandfold.

This is because Liu Yunqing himself has a fire spirit root, which is why he can detect the difference between the spiritual energy in this area and other places as soon as he enters it, and at the same time remain unaffected by it.

Thinking back to when she was in Luoxia City, Chunyu Changfeng told her that there was a place in the Fusang Secret Realm that was most suitable for her to cultivate in seclusion. Could this be it?

The area is rich in fire elemental energy, with abundant spiritual herbs and trees. It has been untouched for a long time, and one can occasionally tease monsters to come out and fight. All things considered, it is indeed very suitable for her to cultivate in seclusion.

Following this line of thought, Liu Yunqing was no longer in a hurry to figure out exactly where this place was.

They leisurely picked spiritual herbs and medicines along the way, trying to plant each one in the empty space. Those that could survive were planted, and those that couldn't were harvested.

If you encounter a monster, fight it. If you win, collect its fur, bones, and blood. If you lose, run away. If you can't outrun it, hide in your spatial dimension.

Since they were unintelligent monsters, they weren't worried about revealing their secret of having a mustard seed space.

After traveling and stopping for half a month, Liu Yunqing did not find a suitable place to use as a temporary cave dwelling, but he did discover a rather strange phenomenon.

That is, the fire elemental energy is becoming more and more concentrated, but the aura that makes people irritable has weakened a lot.

Logically speaking, this should be a more suitable habitat for fire-attribute monsters, but she is encountering fewer and fewer monsters, and their strength is decreasing.

In the last two or three days, we haven't encountered a single monster.

The most suitable place to live is not inhabited by monsters. What does this mean?

Is it because she doesn't want to live in this blessed land with the most abundant spiritual energy in the Sun Realm?

Of course, it's because she can't defeat the powerful beings living in that area!

Realizing the problem, Liu Yunqing shrank back.

He no longer felt that the spiritual energy here was suitable for his cultivation, nor did he find the vibrant red scenery particularly lovely. He quietly turned around, channeled his spiritual energy into his legs, and tried to slip away.

However, that's how humans are; when they realize the truth, it's often only a hair's breadth away from them.

Before you've even really seen it, it's already grabbed you by the collar.

"Little one, sneaking off to someone else's house as a guest, not only did you not bring any gifts, but you didn't even say hello?"

A spirited and crisp female voice rang out above Liu Yunqing's head, accompanied by a scent that could burn one's skin.

Liu Yunqing wanted to speak, but her instincts prevented her from opening her mouth.

Like a cat being grabbed by the scruff of its neck, it had no strength to resist and was flung around, its arms and legs swinging in the air.

Perhaps it was her appearance, which was rather endearing, that pleased the owner of the heroic female voice, who couldn't help but laugh and speak again:

"Although you are also weak, you are much cuter than before. Why would a human cultivator send you here to die?"

As Liu Yunqing said this, he felt the world turn upside down, and he was instantly lifted into the air and spun around before crashing onto a wide, flat area.

Looking up, I was met with a huge eye, like a gold-inlaid ruby.

Those beautiful eyes held no fierce glint, but the sheer imposing aura within them made Liu Yunqing feel as if a large rock had struck her chest, leaving her feeling tight and suffocated.

Are you afraid of me?

Seeing her own clear reflection in that "ruby," Liu Yunqing subconsciously shook her head, and the thought in her mind blurted out:

"What beautiful eyes!"

"Ha ha ha ha--"

The beautiful eyes blinked gently, then burst into a joyful laugh, making the ground where Liu Yunqing was sitting tremble.

As Liu Yunqing was trying to steady herself, she saw the ground beneath her feet suddenly move away into the distance, and the ruby-like eyes gradually moved away, revealing the full appearance of the voice's owner.

That was a majestic dragon with red scales and golden horns!

The dragon's size was beyond Liu Yunqing's imagination, as was its beauty and magnificence.

Its majestic, winding body resembles an endless mountain range. Its reddish scales gleam with a clear, crystal-like luster in the sunlight, and its undulating fins are like flames leaping on the mountainside.

Those huge, deep, and crystal-clear eyes were like priceless treasures enshrined atop the mountains.

Only the delicate right angle in the center of the dragon's head looked somewhat cute.

Liu Yunqing's eyes were full of admiration, and when she saw that horn, she couldn't help but smile, and the corners of her lips unconsciously curled up.

Quietly observing Liu Yunqing's dragon, upon seeing her expression, a sense of embarrassment welled up within him for some reason, and he feigned anger, saying:

"How dare you mock me?"

As it spoke, the dragon shook its claws, making Liu Yunqing lose her balance.

Liu Yunqing quickly suppressed his smile, only then realizing that the place where he was standing was not a square at all, but the claw of a dragon.

"Senior, you misunderstand. It's just that you are so magnificent and beautiful that it is breathtaking."

Well, if it weren't for that little golden horn.

The dragon could see the genuine appreciation in Liu Yunqing's eyes, but something about Liu Yunqing's final smile felt off.

However, the little human had stopped smiling, and few people showed fear or greed upon seeing her; instead, it made her feel at ease.

"Hmph! You humans are good at sweet talk, but I won't be fooled by you."

Although the dragon said this, it stopped shaking its claws, softened its tone, and placed Liu Yunqing back in front of it, saying:

"Tell me, what is the Human Cultivation Sect planning this time?"

Upon hearing this question, Liu Yunqing's expression froze.

If the person in front of her is the Crimson Fire Dragon that Lord Chunyu mentioned, then she can't very well tell people, "I'm here to gouge out your eyes, can she?"

She's not tired of living.

However, that's probably impossible, since the Crimson Fire Dragon that Lord Chunyu mentioned isn't in the Fusang Secret Realm, but rather in the Secret Realm within the Liuyuan Secret Realm.

Furthermore, judging from the cultivation levels of the cultivators who opened the secret realm, the highest cultivation level of the demonic beasts in the secret realm could not possibly exceed the Nascent Soul stage.

Looking at the imposing presence of the person before her, it was no weaker than that of the enraged Cheng Yunyun.

Thinking it over, Liu Yunqing felt less guilty and shook her head, saying:

"I'm not doing anything. I was just being chased by villains and ended up here by accident. I don't even know where I am. I just want to find a place to cultivate in seclusion for the time being."

After Liu Yunqing finished speaking, the dragon did not speak immediately, but stared at Liu Yunqing quietly, as if examining the truthfulness of what she said.

After a while, the dragon nodded and said:

"Yes, this place only sees the light of day once every hundred years, so it's not quite time yet, but it will be soon."

"A century? What century?"
