Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-One: Captivity

The faint sound of a qin entered her ears, like the flow of a clear spring, touching the heart and soul, bringing peace and joy.

Yunsu couldn't help but open her eyes to admire the person playing the qin. Wasn't he Haoru, the ethereal and gentle person?

Following the sound, she approached, the light shining on him, even his hair exuding a gentle aura. His slender fingers slid across the strings, as graceful as a celestial being descending to earth.

Wasn't he Haoru, the gentle and refined celestial being?

She noticed the intense gaze. Only then did she realize that she didn't know when the music had stopped and when he had appeared.

"You have quite the audacity, daring to capture ancient mythical beasts. Aren't you afraid I'll swallow you whole?" Yunsu said, slightly annoyed.

Junfeng smiled lightly, his fingers occasionally plucking the strings of the qin. "I just knew you wouldn't bear to leave!"

Yunsu pouted. "It's not that I don't want to leave, it's just not the right time."

While Yunsu bantered with Junfeng, she had already planned how to leave this place. After all, she knew very well that Zisang had spared her life only because of Qingwu's plea.

The condition for sparing her was to redeem herself by saving lives and lightening her own guilt. However, once she harbored murderous intent, this deal would be nullified.

Since her time at the Valley of Hades, Yunsu had harbored murderous intent. Qingwu no longer had the authority to intervene in her affairs.

With Qingwu gone, the Celestial Realm naturally summoned celestial soldiers to execute her. However, they couldn't foresee that she had sealed her demonic powers into the Crystal Ball, thus preserving herself until now.

But surely, the Celestial Realm would soon realize this. She had to find a way to leave this place. In her previous life, he died because of her; she didn't want to repeat the same mistake in this life.

She had slipped away while Junfeng was sleeping, intending to leave quietly. However, this place was so bizarre, like a maze. No matter how she tried, she couldn't find her way out.

She seemed to understand something.

This place wasn't real at all; it was fabricated by Junfeng himself. And within this space, she couldn't fully unleash her powers.

Junfeng intended to trap her here forever, where outsiders couldn't enter, and she couldn't leave.

At this moment, her heart wavered.

Perhaps... being trapped here forever wasn't such a bad idea after all...

With this thought in mind, she found a rock to sit on, waiting for Junfeng to come and find her. After all, she was tired of running.

Before long, a figure appeared around the corner.

He smiled as he approached her, indulgently saying, "Sang'er, have you had enough fun? It's time to go home!"

The divine being who descended into the mortal world to receive his followers.

Since some time ago, this person had become her light in this world, guiding her away from the darkness of the world. It was he who made her feel that, for a moment, she truly belonged in this world.

But all good things were short-lived, turning into nothingness upon awakening.

That day, Junfeng suddenly left, and not long after, a group of celestial soldiers broke through the barrier and stormed in with swords.

To her, these celestial soldiers were like ants, easily shattered with a few moves. But at this moment, she was angry. Where was Junfeng? Where did he go? Why did celestial soldiers appear here now?

Countless thoughts raced through her mind as she decided to break into the Ninth Heaven and confront the Celestial Emperor, to ask him why everything was obstructing her. Where did she go wrong? Why was everything against her?

As she flew towards the Ninth Heaven, she had already made up her mind to face death.

It seemed that the Celestial Emperor had anticipated all of this. He summoned the Nine Heavens' auspicious clouds to block her, causing her to be repelled whenever she approached, the force rebounding against her.

Naturally, the Celestial Fox didn't believe in such superstition. Could the heavens really block her path?

Bearing her teeth, the Celestial Fox transformed into her beastly form and charged upwards, only to be repelled by an even stronger force, crashing down to the ground with tremendous force.
