After leaving Lu Fuyue, Yun Jing traveled alone throughout the entire demon realm. The farther he got from the little phoenix, the stronger his longing for her became.
The first time he saw the little phoenix's true appearance was in the Floating Life Illusion. Although she never appeared in front of him when he was awake, he was able to use his demonic power to recreate her appearance based on her aura.
The little phoenix was extremely beautiful, with a lifelike red lotus on her forehead. She wore white clothes and had black hair, and her appearance was delicate yet not weak, with a touch of aloofness and otherworldly beauty in her eyes.
However, she was also extremely ruthless. In order to sever his feelings for Mu Wanwan, she actually used the sound of the zither to recreate the illusion and set up ten lifetimes of love tribulations for him, in which he would die at the hands of his beloved in each lifetime, without caring about his feelings at all.
So when he was seriously injured and saw her again, he used the Love-Binding Rope to tie the little phoenix to him, because only in this way would the little phoenix save him.
Otherwise, given her personality, she would probably find him troublesome and leave him the moment she saw him.
At that time, Yun Jing never imagined that after losing his memory, he would gradually fall in love with her and even call her "sister"...
Yun Jing walked on and then gradually stopped.
He looked at the bamboo grove ahead, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. After a moment, he walked through the bamboo grove and reopened the small bamboo house.
Pushing open the door, one sees a jade vase on a small wooden table containing several tender bamboo twigs, while the lush bamboo outside the window remains vibrant and full of life.
It would be nice to live here with Little Phoenix like before.
...
In the blink of an eye, only half a day remained out of the five days.
Lu Fuyue had entered the final stage of fusing with the divine fire. The two different fire spirits within her body were intertwined under her divine sense, but blood was slowly flowing from the corner of her mouth.
The dry, throbbing pain emanating from her dantian gradually expanded within her body. The overuse of her spiritual sense caused her brows to furrow slightly and her face to turn pale.
Lu Fuyue could no longer bear the pain. She opened her mouth slightly and bit her lip. Blood gushed from her lips and dripped onto her white clothes, staining them red.
Almost there, almost there, she only needs two more steps to fuse with the divine fire.
Lu Fuyue's eyes darkened, and she gritted her teeth, once again mobilizing the last trace of divine sense in her sea of consciousness to flow into her dantian through her meridians, enveloping the two fire spirits. Then, her divine sense transformed into sword blades, shredding the two fire spirits one by one.
However, the Phoenix Divine Fire and the Red Lotus Karmic Fire had already become part of her body. Lu Fuyue's actions were undoubtedly like removing her own flesh and blood and then reshaping her body.
The pain involved is unimaginable.
Only in this way can the two divine flames be fused together again into the higher-level Phoenix Crimson Lotus Divine Flame. With it, no one will be able to arbitrarily imprison her cultivation in the future, unless that person has already reached the realm of ascension.
An hour later, Lu Fuyue finally managed to completely shred the fire spirit, but suddenly everything went black before her eyes, and she almost fainted.
Lu Fuyue steadied herself, clenched her fists tightly, and her hands were covered in blood and flesh for a moment before she regained consciousness.
She hasn't successfully fused with the divine fire yet, so how could she possibly collapse at this moment!
So Lu Fuyue mustered her last bit of strength and used the remaining divine sense in her sea of consciousness to slowly fuse the countless fire spirit fragments together, forming a new fire spirit.
A beam of red light suddenly shot out from Lu Fuyue's dantian and flew straight into the sky. It was golden red all over, with each phoenix feather distinct, like a miniature fire phoenix. The phoenix fire spirit stood on a red lotus, with clusters of golden red flames burning on the lotus, and its eyes were extremely indifferent.
Lu Fuyue's expression changed drastically. This was the Demon Realm. If Yun Jing discovered that she had regained her cultivation, it would be disastrous.
Fortunately, the commotion caused by the Fire Spirit was completely blocked by the barrier of the Water Marsh.
The instant the fire spirit flew out, golden-red flames suddenly ignited on Lu Fuyue's body, but she felt no pain at all. At the same time, with a crack, the restraints on her body shattered and turned into a wisp of purple smoke that drifted away in the air.
Lu Fuyue breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
However, at that moment, she suddenly looked towards the door and had a bad feeling.
Someone is coming.
Lu Fuyue glanced down at the bloodstains on her body, then quickly changed her clothes, and hurriedly put the fire spirit back into her body before lying down on the bed.
The door to the bedchamber opened, and Hu Qingqing, draped in a red veil, walked in. The moment she saw Lu Fuyue, a familiar phoenix aura wafted over her. "So it's you, little phoenix."
Lu Fuyue looked up at the person who had come, her expression calm and unaffected.
Hu Qingqing walked to the bedside, raised her hand and gently touched Lu Fuyue's face, her expression somewhat complicated. "Back when the Venerable One brought you back, you were just a little phoenix that had just hatched. I never expected that in just a few years, you would have cultivated into human form and even won the Venerable One's favor."
Lu Fuyue turned her head to avoid her hand, looked directly at Hu Qingqing, and suddenly asked, "You like him?"
Hu Qingqing paused, and after a long while, she touched her face. "Is it that obvious?"
Lu Fuyue pursed her lips. "Most people should be able to tell, right?"
"After all, the way you look at him has never been innocent."
Hu Qingqing froze. "Yes, so many people can see it, but he's the only one who can't."
Lu Fuyue found this amusing. "Really? He really can't tell?"
Hu Qingqing's eyes turned cold as she looked down at Lu Fuyue. "Little Phoenix, I'm here today to deliver your wedding dress, not to talk to you about these things."
"If you become His Majesty's Demon Queen in the future, I will respect and protect you. But if you dare to betray His Majesty, then don't blame me for being impolite."
Lu Fuyue suddenly understood; it turned out that she knew as well.
One was willing to hit, and the other was willing to be hit; she really didn't know what to say.
She had originally planned to start with Hu Qingqing, but she changed her mind. Anyway, she was 70% confident that she could leave this place without relying on anyone else.
Seeing that Lu Fuyue had stopped speaking, Hu Qingqing said calmly, "You all come in."
As soon as she finished speaking, dozens of maids carrying countless boxes walked in and stood in front of Lu Fuyue.
With a flick of her sleeve, Hu Qingqing opened all the boxes, revealing a variety of gorgeous and exquisite jewelry, as well as a bright red wedding dress.
"Little Phoenix, I have come here today to deliver your wedding dress."
"In a little over a month, it will be your wedding day with His Majesty. You must not have any ulterior motives. The entire Demon Palace is covered by His Majesty's demonic power. Forget about escaping this palace, even if you step out of the door of this bedroom, it will alert His Majesty."
