Chapter 205 Nourishment

Suddenly, most of the spiritual energy in the entire space gathered into a vortex and surged toward the small Enlightenment Tree. This Enlightenment Tree was not even as tall as Lu Fuyue's knees, and it had not grown any leaves since its last two leaves fell.

Nourished by abundant spiritual energy, the branches of the Enlightenment Tree faintly revealed wisps of golden light, resembling a dragon soaring through the heavens, exuding the aura of the Great Dao.

Lu Fuyue walked up to the Enlightenment Tree and saw a small, tender green leaf peeking out from the branch. Just as the leaf emerged, the whole leaf appeared, with golden light flowing across it.

According to the flow of space, it took nearly several hundred years for the Enlightenment Tree to grow its second Enlightenment Leaf. Moreover, this leaf only grew after the space underwent changes caused by the Black Mystic Stone.

Lu Fuyue looked around at the changes in the space and found that, apart from the tightly closed gate of the house, she could freely enter the rest of the place.

She closed her eyes and released her divine sense to cover the entire space. She discovered that because of the black mystic stone, the space could automatically generate life, such as various birds and fish, as well as some top-grade spiritual herbs that she had never seen before, and a spiritual spring deep in the spiritual tree and fruit forest.

With a thought, she instantly appeared beside the spiritual spring deep within the Fruit Spirit Realm.

What comes into view is a spiritual spring brimming with rich spiritual energy. Countless birds carry fresh red petals from the grass and put them into the water, and then bring various skin-nourishing and beautifying herbs from the medicinal field and put them into the spiritual spring as well.

A moment later, beautiful petals floated throughout the spring, and a gentle breeze rippled the water.

Lu Fuyue squatted down, lowered her head, and reached out to touch the water in the spiritual spring. A warm sensation immediately flowed into her body, and a feeling of comfort spread from the inside out.

Lu Fuyue's eyes flickered slightly. She took off her clothes and, naked, stepped into the spiritual spring.

The air around the spring is filled with the fragrance of fruit, and the garden of spiritual trees with its lush green grass is where spiritual butterflies flutter from time to time.

The warm spiritual spring touched her body, and a large amount of spiritual energy flowed into her body along with the spring water, circulating through the meridians throughout her body. The various scars left on her body from the desolate abyss gradually healed under the nourishment of the spiritual spring.

Lu Fuyue closed her eyes and let herself sink to the bottom of the spiritual spring. Her Water Spirit Body had a very high affinity with water, so even without the Water-Repelling Pearl, she could perfectly blend with the water.

Countless azure water spirits clung to her skin, gradually making it more delicate and fair than before. However, the power contained within was not to be underestimated; ordinary spiritual weapons could not even scratch her skin or cause her the slightest harm.

...

After feeling that it was about time outside, Lu Fuyue left the space. As soon as she left, she sensed that someone was about to enter her courtyard.

Lu Fuyue quickly withdrew her clone, tore off the barriers, pushed open the door and went out. As soon as she stepped out, she saw a maid walk in from outside, bow to her and say, "Fairy Lu, the King invites you."

Lu Fuyue was slightly taken aback. Although she had been in the space for a long time, only half a day had passed outside.

Why would Jiang Xun suddenly need to see her?

Soon, led by her maid, she arrived at the gate of a tall and magnificent palace. This palace was Jiang Xun's bedroom. Although she had been here before, she didn't come here often.

The maid suddenly stopped and bowed to Lu Fuyue again, saying, "Fairy Lu, I will wait outside. Please go in first."

Having said that, the maid turned and stood at the gate.

Lu Fuyue went in alone. As soon as she entered, she saw steam rising from behind the screen.

The man could be vaguely seen suddenly rising from the bathtub, then stepping out with his long legs, splashing water everywhere, the sound of the water hitting the ground clearly audible.

Jiang Xun casually draped a coat over his shoulder from the rack, and in an instant, his broad shoulders, narrow back, and extremely powerful physique appeared before Lu Fuyue.

Lu Fuyue turned her body without any change in expression, and stood quietly in place with her back to him.

However, a low, teasing voice came from behind, "So, is Yueyue satisfied with my body?"

Lu Fuyue's eyes turned cold: "Your Majesty, please just call me by my name."

A man with a fiancée who acts so frivolously is nothing special.

Jiang Xun sensed the coldness in Lu Fuyue's tone, paused for a moment, and then immediately understood.

"Has Yueyue misunderstood something?"

He already knew that Lu Fuyue had once had a fiancé, but that fiancé had cheated on her with another woman, and the two of them almost killed her.

It seems that she misunderstood him because of Siyou.

Jiang Xun appeared in front of Lu Fuyue in an instant, staring at her for a long time before a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes: "In your heart, am I just a fickle man, or have you never even thought of trying to understand me?"

The air instantly became still, as if it had solidified into a single mass.

Lu Fuyue lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Your Majesty is too kind. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

After saying that, she turned to avoid Jiang Xun and was about to leave. Just as she was about to push the door open, her wrist was suddenly grabbed tightly and pulled hard. Before Lu Fuyue could react, Jiang Xun braced her on both sides and forced her to look up at him.

In an instant, an intense sense of oppression enveloped Lu Fuyue, causing her body to tense up and freeze in place.

"Yueyue, there is absolutely no romantic relationship between me and Siyou. The reason I take extra care of her is because she gave me all the power that her brother left her, without holding back a single bit."

"I bestowed upon her the title of Princess of Zhongdu City because the title of princess signifies that she is my sister and my family."

"I once thought that her closeness to me was just because she regarded me as her brother, but I never expected that she had such feelings for me."

"Yueyue, I really don't have any romantic feelings for her."

Lu Fuyue's expression remained indifferent: "Now that Your Majesty has finished speaking, may I leave?"

These words sound like something a man would say to a woman.

Jiang Xun paused, lowered his hand, took a few steps back, and remained silent for a long time before saying, "Then you can go down."

Lu Fuyue nodded, then pushed the door open and went out.

She was aware of Jiang Xun's special feelings for her.

However, this is probably just out of novelty, nothing more than the heartless and cold-blooded nature revealed in men's bones.

It seems we need to find the Fire String as soon as possible, reduce our contact with Jiang Xun, and then leave this place as quickly as possible.

Lu Fuyue originally wanted to return to her own courtyard, but when she thought of Huo Qinxian, she headed towards the palace gate.

The aura of the Fire Strings was clearly within the city of Zhongdu where she was currently located, but she couldn't pinpoint its exact location. However, since the Fire Strings were of the fire element and no one was trapped, it must be somewhere related to fire.

As for where the fire is related, we'll have to go out and inquire, and then investigate one by one.
