Chapter Nine, the tiger falls to the plains and is bullied by dogs

Fumie obediently got up and ran, realizing that saving her life was far more important than her pride at that moment. She was determined to break through the barrier she had just faced; at worst, she would end up crippled, but that would be no worse than falling into the hands of Lando.

On the second day after Fu Mi arrived in Yunding Town, fluctuations began to appear around Mount Luofu, signaling the emergence of a secret realm. It turned out that the Purple Respect Immortal Mansion was located within the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm, a fact that Fu Mi learned only after arriving in Yunding Town

This woman is indeed the heir of Huayue Valley, who repeatedly competed with Fumi at the auction in Magic City on that day. She walks alone through the bustling market, infusing the entire area with the tranquility of the mountains and forests

Fumi summoned the Celestial Prison Cage and confined Xingnu within it. This Celestial Prison Cage resembled a birdcage. Fumi lifted Xingnu, teasing her as one would tease a bird.

"Is that really what you think?" Fumi asked with a serious expression, looking at Miaomiao.

As Fu Mi saw that she was about to be captured, Xing Nu kept mocking her. Fu Mi thought to herself, this foolish Xing Nu, any woman more beautiful than Lan Duo who falls into her hands never has a good ending. She did not want to implicate Xing Nu, so she simply opened the prison cage and said, "You should escape quickly, Lan Duo will not spare you."

Princess, as long as the green mountains remain, one need not worry about firewood.

Piao Miao nodded slightly, and before she could speak, Qing Xian from the Five Immortals Pavilion approached.

The ethereal is akin to a hen protecting its chicks, with endless words to share, "Princess, possessing beauty is a crime; you must not casually wield magical artifacts."

Unfortunately, none of them are correct; the Sky Mirror does not display any images, which indicates that they are at least one hundred thousand miles away or in other secret realms

Fumi experienced another shock to her common sense, falling to the ground once again and rolling into a muddy pit, leaving her covered in dirt, which provoked a round of laughter from Lando

Although Fumi is full of confidence, she would never play with her own life; she keeps her distance from the Fire Phoenix as far as possible.

Fu Mi sighed and said: "It is fine to have a lower level of cultivation, but being foolish is beyond redemption. Since I have already captured you, why should I go through the trouble of competing with you? Moreover, the fact that I was able to catch you off guard ultimately stems from your own arrogance and pride. You think that without my attendant, I cannot deal with you, and if you wish to take action against me, I am merely returning the favor in kind."

Fumie did not respond; she thought carefully and realized that the ferocious beasts capable of intimidating a hundred creatures into silence could be counted on her fingers.

"Whoever captures Fumi, I will reward them with her," Lan Duo shouted

Fumi found a tree hollow to hide in, took out the Sky Searching Mirror, and silently recited the names of several fierce beasts: "Dragon Sparrow, Sky-Splitting Butterfly, Demon Owl, Zhu Bird..."

Lando's expression changed dramatically, "Chase!"

Xingnu was dizzy from being shaken by Fumi and shouted, "Fumi! If you don't let me out soon, I won't spare you in the future"

Fumi proudly hung the Celestial Prison on her waist and continued to walk forward. Those who were foolish enough to seek an advantage, upon seeing that the apricot maidens of the Zhou Tian realm had been taken by Fumi, dared not act recklessly.

The ethereal crystal stones have caused pain even in the flesh, yet this lady still claims that the maidservants' equipment is too poor. "Princess, it is already quite good. If you travel through the three thousand states, you will find that no other family's maidservants can compare to them"

Princess!" Piaomiao was so angry that she stomped her feet, wanting to forcibly pull Fumi back.

As soon as Lando discovered the figure of Fumei, a silver moon flew out

Fumi's mind was racing rapidly under such tense circumstances, with the formation inscribed on her leg bones. The greatest possibility was the ability to move swiftly and magically. Fumi could not afford to hesitate any longer and directly activated her meridians, flowing along the channels marked by the bone inscriptions.

Fumie exclaimed, "Wow, wow! Hey, didn't I just say that you are too ugly to be your teacher's saintess? Is that really worth you chasing me like this?" In the past, Fumie was not afraid of Landuo, but now, without her strongest enforcer, Piaomiao, by her side, it was indeed quite inconvenient.

Fu Mi furrowed her brows and said, "Is your princess such a petty person? Have someone inquire about who that woman is."

Fumi got up and continued to run, while Landuo teased her like one would tease a puppy. Fumi was not angry at all; with a sudden leap, she soared into the air. She felt an overwhelming joy in her heart, "I did it"

Fumie nodded

"Haha, it turns out that Princess Fumi also has moments like a stray dog. Keep running, let more people see how disheveled you look," Lando mocked Fumi.

Fumi shot a glance at Piaomiao and said, "What are you comparing yourself to others for? Does it diminish your value or not?"

This method of circulation is completely different from what Fumi usually practices. Clearly, some meridians are simply impossible to be unblocked, yet at this moment, Fumi cannot afford to doubt it. Almost all the blood in her body is concentrated in her legs, and there is only one thought in her mind: "Run"

Haha, where did this beggar woman come from? The Lotus Emperor is already dead, let's see how you can be so arrogant in the future

Fu Mi could only see the people around her rushing towards the cave entrance like shooting stars, fearing that if they entered too late, they would be locked out. In the secret realm, flying magical treasures could not be used, so Fu Mi had no choice but to step towards the cave entrance in mid-air, using her own "Step by Step Lotus" technique.

The entrance to the secret realm is a narrow gourd-shaped opening, which becomes increasingly spacious as one ventures deeper. The mountains rise and fall, and the expanse of this domain is no less than that of an entire prefecture.

Fu Mi wishes she could fly with the wind at her feet, but Lan Duo is not like Xing Nu; she is completely outmatched.

Fumi exclaimed: "Piaomiao, let go. If you continue like this, I will never be able to grow up."

Upon hearing the name of Landuo, Xingnu was immediately taken aback, for Landuo's notorious reputation for ruthlessly destroying beautiful flowers was known far and wide. She no longer cared about the misfortune of Fumi and quickly slipped away, for she could run faster than Fumi.

Fumi nodded her head

Fumi also knew that she could not escape, as she was surrounded on all sides, with Landor almost at her side. The more afraid Fumi became, the more she told herself to remain calm, pondering whether there was any way to free herself from them

Piao Miao was afraid that Fu Mi would get lost, so she held her hand tightly all the way. However, upon reaching the entrance of the cave, Piao Miao felt a tremendous rebound force and exclaimed, "This is not good, one cannot enter with innate realm."

At this moment, Princess Fumi was losing her temper over Piaomiao's refusal to pay. A woman approached from the opposite direction, her light pink garments fluttering gracefully, with an ancient sword inserted in her back. Her brows were naturally dark without the need for makeup, and her lips were naturally red without any embellishment. Her beauty was unparalleled, her complexion like frost, her demeanor like the moon. Even the celestial maidens of the Gui Palace would likely pale in comparison to her ethereal aura. The faint smile at the corner of her lips evoked a sense of intimacy in those who beheld her.

In Yunding Town, Fei Mi has many acquaintances, most of whom have some estrangement with her; however, for the sake of the Purple Sovereign Immortal Mansion, everyone is quite restrained

Piao Miao quickly advised: "The princess has already rejected him many times; he must be seeking this opportunity out of deep sorrow. Since it is something the princess does not want, there is no need for her to take it to heart."

Xingnu shook her head and asked, "What is that?"

Fu Mi no longer dared to look back, as she knew that Lan Duo was a narrow-minded person who would seek revenge for even the slightest grievance. This time, she was determined to deal with her. Fu Mi was desperately trying to escape, but she could see that she was about to be caught. Although her ability to step on lotus flowers was extraordinary, her cultivation level was simply too low, while Lan Duo's side was composed entirely of practitioners at the peak of the postnatal stage, the fifth level of the Five Elements realm.

Fumiz kept a cold expression and remained silent

Fu Mi wished that Lan Duo could mock her a few more times, giving her the opportunity. She had gradually grasped the knack of breaking through challenges, which was to charge through at the peak of her speed. Only by reaching her limits could she possibly break through these seemingly insurmountable barriers

Piao Miao pulled Fu Mi back, as she was not at ease letting Fu Mi venture into danger alone. However, Princess Fu Mi was not someone easily intimidated by difficulties. She withdrew her hand and said to Piao Miao, "Wait for me outside. If I do not come out, I will leave Lianzhou in the care of my aunt and you all."

Fumi nodded her head

Just as the blood vessels were about to close, a sudden discomfort caused Fu Mi to fall to the ground, and laughter immediately erupted from the side. Lan Duo swiftly moved sideways and positioned herself in front of Fu Mi.

Fumie stroked her chin, glanced at the lineup of her twelve maids, and sighed while shaking her head, "The equipment is still too poor; stepping out like this is not impressive at all"

It does not matter that Fu Mi does not like Qing Xuan, and it is not a big deal if Qing Xuan develops feelings for someone else. However, if Qing Xuan's affections shift to Yue Chan Juan right in front of Fu Mi, it becomes a significant issue. Does this not clearly imply that Fu Mi is inferior to Yue Chan Juan?

"Princess—" Piao Miao was still speaking, but Fu Mi could no longer listen. She waved her hand and said, "I know, don't worry, wait for me to come out"

Fumie exclaimed, "What an impressive secret realm, it can actually block the sun"

Fumi's mind involuntarily turned to the deciphered bone inscriptions of the Divine Bone. If her conjecture was correct, it should be a formation. Carving formations into bones is truly impressive

Fumi quickly turned around and headed south. Although the Zizun Immortal Mansion was likely to appear in the north, her life was more important. Fumi did not intend to obtain the Golden Crow Tree this time; she merely wanted to gather some information and, by chance, test her luck.

Flora gazed at the ethereal figure of the decayed wood and said, "Am I really such a petty person, your highness?" Fu Mi would not admit that she indeed had the impulse to teach the shortsighted Qing Xuan a harsh lesson. "Senior Brother Qing Xuan has a steadfast heart and is certainly not someone who easily changes his mind. When he looked at me just now, there was so much guilt in his eyes. I think it must be that the Five Immortals Pavilion has learned about my father's disappearance. With the support of a respected figure from the upper realm behind them, the Five Immortals Pavilion likely wishes to form a marriage alliance with the Flower Moon Valley, right?

"Princess, are you still angry?" asked Piaomiao

Fumi persistently continued to silently recite, and finally boldly uttered a name, "Fire Phoenix"

Piao Miao was taken aback, "If the Five Immortals Pavilion and the Flower Moon Valley merge, obtaining the boundary marker would allow us a place in the upper realm."

"Yue girl." Qingxian called out from behind Yue Chanquan, catching up to walk alongside her.

"Fum, let me out. We can consider this matter settled, and I will not trouble you again in the future. You must understand that if the esteemed one learns that you have captured me, he will not let you off easily" said Xingnu, with a fierce exterior but a timid heart.

"Since the last time I saw her, it seems her cultivation has improved once again," Piaomiao said softly to Fumi. The implication was a lamentation on how rapidly this woman had progressed. If it were not for her remarkable cultivation, she would never have had the confidence to venture out alone

A fiery red shadow suddenly appeared in the Sky Mirror, and that fiery red shadow was rushing towards the north. Fu Mi cursed under her breath, "Damn it, who would have thought that the ancient Ten Fierce Beasts would be here, the Fire Phoenix? The Purple Sovereign Immortal Mansion has appeared here; it seems that this Purple Sovereign Immortal must have been a person of great authority during his lifetime, perhaps even a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Among the immortals, the Great Luo Golden Immortal is considered the strongest.

Just as Fu Mi had reassured Piao Miao not to worry, upon entering the secret realm, she encountered an acquaintance.

"Oh, who could it be? It turns out to be Princess Fumi. Ah, why are you here all alone?" Xingnu said to Fumi with a smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes. Xingnu covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "Ah, I remember now, those in the innate realm cannot enter, and that group of lackeys around you cannot protect you anymore."

"Is Master Brother's eyes smeared with feces?" Fei Mi said with a dark expression

Fumie also moved her wrist like Xingnu and said, "I am not doing anything. I just want to inform you that my servant will not come in, yet I can still handle you just fine"

Fumi could no longer hear Xingnu's words; her entire focus was drawn to the red shadow in the sky. In this vast mountain range, there was surprisingly no sound of birds chirping or beasts howling, only the rustling of the wind and the shadows of the trees, which inexplicably made Fumi hesitant to act recklessly. That red shadow had vanished extremely quickly, making it impossible to discern its true form, yet its overwhelming presence was impossible to ignore.

You! The apricot maid glared at Fumi, "What are you doing?"

Piao Miao understood that her own princess was not easily fooled, so she could only say: "Princess, this is not the time to create trouble. If the princess truly wishes to regain her dignity, she only needs to show a little kindness to Qing Xian, and he will definitely come back obediently."

Lando glared with a fierce expression, "You little wretch, once I catch you, I will ruin your face with the slave liquid, and then let’s see how arrogant you can still be"

Thus, Fu Mi was able to stroll confidently down the street, browsing the stalls selling flower seeds. Unfortunately, she could no longer encounter the good fortune of coming across the "Five Elements Celestial Lotus." Additionally, she visited the stalls of jewelry and magical artifacts, purchasing a large assortment of hairpins and bracelets, and even bought a pair of enchanted boots inscribed with "Swift Wind Array" for each of her maidservants.

Fu Mi smiled reservedly, waiting for Qing Xian to show her great courtesy. However, after greeting her, Qing Xian smiled apologetically and strode forward to catch up with the disciple of Hua Yue Valley who had just passed by.

Unfortunately, the bone inscriptions were only deciphered to one-eighth, and there was only this one supernatural ability. Fu Mi leaped into the clouds continuously, and with just a few rises and falls, she left Lan Duo and the others far behind.

On the second day, when the sun had just risen to its zenith, a massive black opening appeared directly in front of the sun, blocking out the sunlight, and the town of Cloudtop was suddenly plunged into complete darkness

Piao Miao looked at Fu Mi, seeing her expression of determination, which was not an impulsive act. He had no choice but to release his grip, saying, "Princess, please do not lose your temper inside. Try to find more allies."

It is regrettable that although Fu Mi possesses many magical artifacts, none of them are capable of group attacks. Her low cultivation level makes it easy for others to seize them, and apart from during ambushes, she does not dare to take them out.

Xing Nu, feeling indignant, said: "You took advantage of my unpreparedness to succeed. If you have the ability, release me, and let us compete fairly."

Fumi nodded her head

"Junior Sister." Qingxian paused in her steps and greeted Qufu.

Xing Nu moved her wrist slightly, and just as she was about to speak, she suddenly found herself unable to move in an instant. Looking down, she saw a transparent yellow-brown rope had instantly wrapped around her entire body.

The realm of the day after tomorrow consists of six levels: Bigu, Xisui, Fajin, Yuling, Zhou Tian, and Wuxing, while Fumi is specifically at the Xisui level

Fumif lowered her head and patted the prison fairy cage, "Don't speak, something is not right here." However, just now, Xingnu had reminded Fumif, and Fumif thought to herself, I wonder if I can exchange a divine crystal stone from that person using Xingnu? If that doesn't work, if I can capture Yue Chanjun, I believe I can definitely obtain a divine crystal stone.

At this moment, the woman had already walked to the opposite side of Fumi, nodded and smiled at Fumi, and continued on her way

Fumie gazed at Qingxian's back and said, "I would like to ask Senior Brother how the Five Immortals Pavilion learned of the news regarding Father Emperor's disappearance."

Unfortunately, she has been plagued by misfortune; as soon as she entered, she encountered Xingnu. Fortunately, Xingnu is proud and arrogant, and her cultivation level is not particularly high. However, when Fumi saw the approaching daughter of the Silver Moon Sect's leader, Landuo, she immediately turned around and began to run.
