The current situation was something Liu Yunqing had never imagined in all the countless plans he had made.

She had considered that her fall into the rift might send her anywhere, even beyond the Sun Realm, but she never imagined being sent to the Flowing Abyss Secret Realm.

She had considered that obtaining the Crimson Fire Dragon's eyes might involve a fierce battle, or even a near-death experience, but she never imagined it would be so easy.

She even suspected that Senior Jiaolong and Little Jiaolong were the Crimson Fire Jiaolong, but they were not.

Even more remarkably, they are not jiao (蛟), but dragons.

They are the true dragons of the Crimson Dragon Clan in the Spirit Realm.

"Senior Gu, you..."

Liu Yunqing looked at the single horn on Gu Dai's head, a symbol of the Jiao clan, but didn't say anything more.

Gu Dai was indeed the name of the red dragon. Although Liu Yunqing didn't say it directly, she knew what the other party meant and chuckled:

"I was young at the time and was spoiled by my family. I was easily fooled by a few words and lost my cultivation. I almost lost all my bloodline."

"Fortunately, I've finally managed to skin and rip out all the flesh, and now I'm giving it to you as a gift to take care of my child. It's a good use of your resources."

At this point, Gu Dai's eyes were filled with longing, presumably thinking of his doting family. He remained silent for a while before coming back to his senses.

When he turned around, he met Liu Yunqing's complicated and indescribable expression.

Although she didn't say anything, Gu Dai instantly understood what Liu Yunqing meant by looking at her like a brainless love-struck fool.

"Don't get me wrong! I'm not the kind of person who would die for love. My husband is still waiting for me in the spirit world!"

Seeing Liu Yunqing's skeptical expression, Gu Dai became somewhat annoyed and, feigning anger, flicked his dragon tail, saying:

"Alright, don't ask about anything else. Just accept the gifts and fulfill your promise."

After saying that, he glared at Liu Yunqing, forbidding her from asking any more questions.

Liu Yunqing sighed. She felt obligated to keep quiet since she had accepted the gifts.

Gu Dai was finally somewhat satisfied. He withdrew his gaze, picked up the little dragon—oh, it should be called Xiao Jiao now—and said to Liu Yunqing:

"You continue your cultivation. I'll spend the remaining six months playing with Jiao'er, and in the last month I'll take you to explore the secret realm and get some things you might need."

After saying this, the enormous dragon was about to sink into the lake when, after thinking for a moment, it added:

"Cultivate diligently. If we meet again in the Spirit Realm in the future, I will offer you some protection."

At this moment, Liu Yunqing did not realize the weight of those words. She only thought that, let alone going to the Spirit Realm, even after leaving this secret realm, the killing intent of the Sun Realm would be enough to give her a hard time.

But let's make the most of today while we can, and worry about tomorrow later.

Having completed her mission ahead of schedule, Liu Yunqing relaxed and immersed herself in cultivation, unaware that the Sun Realm had already been stirred up by her.

To talk about this, we have to go back to a year ago, when Liu Yunqing had just fallen from the spatial rift into the Liuyuan Secret Realm.

During that time, Liu Yunzhao had just been rescued and told Cheng Yunyun his guess.

Cheng Yunyun didn't even bother to listen to any solutions to Liu Yunzhao's spiritual root problem; she was too eager to start a massive search for Liu Yunqing.

After a long and thorough search, Cheng Yunyun still couldn't find Liu Yunqing. Remembering Liu Yunzhao's suspicions, she headed straight for Luoxia City.

Unfortunately, Cheng Yunyun was not even allowed to enter the city gates of Luoxia City before being stopped by Chunyu Changfeng.

"Chunyu Changfeng, what do you mean?"

When Cheng Yunyun saw Chunyu Changfeng, she felt a momentary shortness of breath, but immediately straightened her back and questioned him in a harsh tone.

Chunyu Changfeng exuded a calm aura, revealing no emotion, and his voice remained as gentle and indifferent as ever:

"Why is Daoist Su Yi questioning me now that he forced his way into Luoxia City?"

Cheng Yunyun looked annoyed, but she suppressed her temper and went straight to the point:

"Where is that female cultivator in red you have? Tell her to come out and see me."

Those who are not involved in the matter are unaware that Liu Yunzhao is seriously injured and on the verge of death, but those who are interested know it very well.

Therefore, Chunyu Changfeng probably understood Cheng Yunyun's purpose the moment he saw her.

She sighed inwardly at Liu Yunqing's ability to cause trouble, yet she was also pleased that she had managed to injure Liu Yunzhao to such an extent and still escape from Cheng Yunyun's clutches.

Of course, he was even more worried. Since the incident at the Forgotten Mansion, Liu Yunqing had not returned to Luoxia City. Could it be that he was too badly injured to come back?

Chunyu Changfeng would send messages to Liu Yunqing every now and then, but the message talisman never flew out.

In this situation, either the distance is too far for the communication talisman to reach, or the place where Liu Yunqing is located is isolated from the outside spiritual energy, such as a secret realm.

Another possibility is that the person is already dead.

But according to information from other sources, Liu Yunqing not only couldn't possibly be dead, but he seems to be doing quite well.

Chunyu Changfeng's mind raced with thoughts, a cold smile playing on his lips, his otherwise calm voice laced with sarcasm:

"The Supreme Elder of the Myriad Wonders Sect inexplicably wants to see someone from my humble Luoxia City. Naturally, I dare not disobey orders. Unfortunately, Zhenru is on a mission and is not in Luoxia City."

Cheng Yunyun's chest heaved as she tried to ignore the sarcasm in the other person's words, and she focused on the key points:

"What mission did she go on? Where did she go? When will she be back?"

Chunyu Changfeng's face turned cold. His eyes, which were covered by ribbons and unable to see, stared silently at Cheng Yunyun for a long while before he said in a cold voice:

"Lord Su Yi, you are quite arrogant. Then, after you have placed Luoxia City under the jurisdiction of your Wanmiao Sect, come and ask me these questions. Please!"

After saying this, Chunyu Changfeng made a gesture of seeing the guest off with one hand, while silently forming a hand seal behind his back with the other.

Sensing the turbulent atmosphere around her, Cheng Yunyun finally lost her composure and said resentfully:

"Chunyu Changfeng, are you really that serious?!"

"It's just a pair of eyes. I didn't do it on purpose, and besides, wasn't I doing it for myself?"

"BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!"

The response to Cheng Yunyun's question was Chunyu Changfeng's attack, which was full of anger despite his best efforts to restrain himself.

"Chunyu Changfeng, how dare you!"

Cheng Yunyun was furious. She had been holding back her anger all along, but now she couldn't hold back any longer. After dodging the attack, she turned around and was about to attack Chunyu Changfeng.

But the attack was blocked by a force that rushed out from the side halfway through.

Then, Daoist Suwei descended from the sky, nodded apologetically to Chunyu Changfeng, and the two exchanged Daoist greetings.

Turning back to face Cheng Yunyun, Suwei Daojun's face had turned angry, and she directly rebuked:

"Elder Su Yi, aren't you afraid that your actions will damage the friendly relations between our sect and the Loose Cultivator Alliance?"

It seems that Daoist Suwei is usually kind and gentle, and Cheng Yunyun was startled by her anger, then said impatiently:

"This is my personal matter, and it would be best if Senior Sister Suwei didn't interfere."

Daoist Suwei nodded slightly and looked at Cheng Yunyun, saying:

"In that case, you should issue a declaration to all forces in the Sun Realm that you, Cheng Yunyun, have officially withdrawn from the Myriad Wonders Sect."
