Chapter 87: He was captured and treated like a pet.

Since it couldn't be planted, Lu Fuyue simply stopped worrying about it and instead took out some rare and precious herbs and swallowed them directly to begin cultivating the Phoenix Body Refining Technique.

Resembling a phoenix in its original form, it's truly eye-catching.

She still needs to find the next string; if she can't return to human form soon, nothing will be convenient for her.

The Phoenix Body Refining Technique is the top cultivation method of the Phoenix Clan. Its key to cultivation lies in absorbing a large number of rare and precious materials while in a deep sleep, and then using that power to temper the body's strength.

Therefore, after swallowing a large amount of rare and precious herbs, Lu Fuyue began to sleep.

Time passed slowly, but Lu Fuyue still did not wake up.

However, the golden-red phoenix feathers on her body were slowly changing, with wisps of phoenix flames covering the feathers, flowing with golden-red light.

At that moment, a tall and upright figure, dressed in a purple robe and wearing a red jade pendant at his waist, appeared in Lu Fuyue's room.

"I never expected there would be a little fire phoenix in this world. It's quite good-looking too. Why don't I take it back and make it my 18,007th little pet?"

With that, he flicked his sleeve and vanished from the place with Lu Fuyue.

Little did they know, after he left...

Not far away in the Ice Phoenix Clan's territory, the Ice Phoenix Ancestor, who was meditating and cultivating, seemed to sense something, slowly opened his eyes, and glanced in the direction where the purple-robed man had left.

No wonder there was something subtly off about that little girl.

So she wasn't from this place after all.

...

While she was asleep, Lu Fuyue sensed a very familiar feeling and subconsciously moved closer to that place.

Yun Jing looked at the little fire phoenix in his arms, which kept nuzzling against him affectionately, and a smile flashed in his eyes. "This little pet I found this time is quite close to me."

"I hope you can break the cycle of not being rejected by the main body a month from now."

Unbeknownst to anyone, a glint of light flashed from the jade bamboo pendant around his neck.

At the same time, Lu Fuyue, who was in a deep sleep, suddenly regained consciousness.

Looking at the green grass covering the mountains and fields, she was a little confused. Wasn't she practicing the Phoenix Body Refining Technique?

Why did I suddenly wake up?

No, something's not right. She didn't wake up; someone created a dream for her.

Lu Fuyue's eyes narrowed slightly. If nothing unexpected happened, that person's purpose would soon be revealed. What she needed to do now was to calm down and see what the person behind the scenes was really up to.

Suddenly the scene changed, and she appeared on the battlefield. Countless human cultivators and demons passed through her body and fought endlessly, with blood splattering and limbs scattered everywhere.

Two figures in the sky were fighting incessantly, and for a moment, the wind and clouds changed, and the sky darkened.

The terrifying aftershocks of spiritual energy instantly destroyed the trees and mountains within a ten-mile radius.

Beneath the city walls, the two sides fought fiercely, with countless corpses falling one after another. Demons and human cultivators shed blood on this land.

Lu Fuyue stared at the scene with shock in her eyes.

Especially the two figures fighting in the sky, the terrifying aura they exuded with each move made Lu Fuyue's face turn pale and she found it hard to breathe.

Even though it's all just an illusion, it feels so real that it makes you feel like you're actually there.

However, just as the man in purple robes thrust his sword at the man in black robes opposite him...

A young girl in a pale yellow dress appeared on the city wall. She glared resentfully at the man in purple robes and shouted,

"Yun Jing, if you dare to kill my master, I will jump down right in front of you."

The man in purple robes paused, then looked sharply at the woman on the city wall. "Mu Wanwan, you actually threatened me for another man?"

But in that split second of his distraction, the purple-robed man was pierced through the heart by a sword, and then fell from mid-air in front of everyone.

The demons, who were engaged in fierce fighting, witnessed the fall of their demon king and were instantly enraged to the extreme, their eyes turning bloodshot.

"Your Excellency..."

"Your Excellency!"

"Everyone, quickly kill these treacherous cultivators and avenge our Lord!"

"Kill them!"

...

However, without their ruler, the demons became a disorganized mess.

The man in black descended from mid-air, then raised his hand and swung his sword in the air. The terrifying power instantly slashed down all the demons.

But at that moment, the man in black's expression changed drastically. Something glowing with green light flew out from his chest, disappeared into the body of the man in purple robes, and then vanished from the spot with the man in purple robes.

A flicker of excitement flashed in Lu Fuyue's eyes. It was... a wooden zither string?

Just then, the scene changed again.

Lu Fuyue saw the purple-robed man who had just been pierced through the heart by a sword, lying on a piece of ancient ice, his face completely bloodless.

She slowly walked over and approached him.

Perhaps the xylophone strings are on him.

The man in the purple robe had an exceptionally handsome face; even just lying there, he possessed a captivating charm, like a seductive ghost bewitching the soul.

Lu Fuyue walked to his side, and just as she was about to search him carefully, suddenly the green light flew out from his body.

A childish voice rang out, "Beautiful sister, no! If you do this, Master will die."

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Fuyue's eyes, "You are the wooden string of the Weak Water Zither?"

The little green light flashed a few more times, and it flattered excitedly, "Beautiful sister is so amazing, she guessed Mumu's identity right away."

Lu Fuyue felt somewhat helpless; she could tell that the little guy was trying to please her.

"So, those scenes just now, were they also your doing?"

"And the reason I came to this place was because you used your primal power to summon the Water Harp Strings, wasn't it?"

The little green light dimmed instantly, and it said in a wronged tone, "Beautiful sister, how could you think of Mumu like that?"

"Although...although Mumu really wants to ask the beautiful sister for a small favor."

Upon hearing this, Lu Fuyue knew that Mu Qinxian's purpose was to get her help.

But now, the xylophone string has developed sentience, and unless it is willing to be taken away, she cannot forcibly take it away.

Therefore, she must fulfill its wish.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Little Green Light was overjoyed upon hearing this and excitedly said, "Beautiful sister, you are so beautiful and kind. Mumu likes you the most."

Lu Fuyue remained unmoved, looking at it calmly, "Speak, what is your purpose? As long as it's not too outrageous, I can satisfy you."

Little Green Light: "Mumu has only one wish, which is to help Mumu's current owner get away from that wicked woman."

Lu Fuyue's eyes darkened slightly. "Are you talking about the woman in the pale yellow dress on the city wall just now?"
