Chapter 339 The Unglamorous Fox Fairy vs. the Aloof Dragon Lord (15)
Despite what happened at the banquet, Fu Ying didn't leave the list. Perhaps it was intentional, or maybe someone had a perverse sense of humor and wanted to see He Suining surpass her.
He Suining was both amused and exasperated by the result, and shook her head, not caring much about it.
However, her indifference does not mean that Fuying is indifferent.
Fuying hasn't been having a particularly good time lately. Because of what happened at the last banquet, her mother has confined her to Flower Fairy Mountain, telling her to focus on her cultivation and not to dwell on matters of love and romance.
However, Fuying had little interest in cultivation.
Her only motivation was to follow the Dragon Lord to become a High God and go to the God Realm.
But now she's lost all interest and is depressed every day. Thinking about the looks in the eyes of those people at the banquet, and how the Dragon Lord will view her, her carefully crafted persona has been ruined, and her mood is extremely heavy.
this day.
She was sitting cross-legged on a futon, pretending to be practicing diligently.
Another flower fairy, Qingzhu, who was also her best friend, came over.
When Fu Ying opened her eyes and saw her, she frowned slightly. "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come looking for me unless it's something important? If my mother sees me, she'll punish me again."
Qingzhu walked up to her, squatted down, and looked at her, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.
"say something."
Qingzhu sighed, "You're the one who told me to say this. Didn't you ask me to keep an eye on what's going on outside?"
Fuying nodded.
What Qingzhu said next made her furious: "You fell off the Beauty Ranking."
"So who's number one now?" Fu Ying barely managed to suppress her anger.
Actually, her downfall was within her expectations. It must have been those despicable people who knew her reputation was bad and voted her down together.
"Is it the Jade Fairy or the Holy Maiden of Yaochi?" In Fuying's mind, these two vile women were the most threatening to her.
However, neither Ruyu nor Yaochi had very good personalities.
Unlike Fuying herself, who is beautiful and gentle and loved by many.
Qingzhu swallowed awkwardly, "N-nothing."
Fu Ying paused for a few seconds, then frowned and looked at her. "Who is that? Could it be that while I was away, another beautiful fairy came to Dragon Valley?"
How beautiful must someone be to take her place?
Qingzhu scratched her head, stood up awkwardly, took a few steps back, and prepared to run away. "It's Fairy Anning. Fuying, don't be too angry. It's just that everyone deliberately voted like that. It's definitely not because they think she's pretty."
Done.
Qingzhu turned around and ran away in a flash.
Fu Ying stood there stunned for a long time. Of course, she knew that the fairies' vote was not because they thought An Ning was prettier than her, but because they wanted to humiliate her.
They knew perfectly well what she cared about, yet they deliberately voted this way.
Even if Ru Yu or Yao Chi trampled on her, she would at most be in a bad mood. But if it were An Ning, who didn't even dare to take off her mask, wouldn't Fu Yao be furious?
That's what the fairies guessed.
In fact, Fuying was furious.
She suddenly stood up and flew out, ignoring even her mother's verbal prohibitions.
They flew to the Immortal Ranking.
Many fairies were standing there watching.
She just arrived.
One of the fairies saw her and suddenly rolled her eyes at her, saying, "Who do we have here? It's our innocent and lovely Fuying Fairy."
"puff."
"Haha."
Everyone could hear the sarcasm in her words. Even those who hadn't attended the banquet knew what kind of person Fu Ying was from the gossip they'd heard these past few days.
Those who previously thought Fuying was a fraud naturally wanted to kick her when she was down, and those who were deceived by Fuying no longer liked her.
After all, Fu Ying targeted An Ning, who had only been there for a few days and had no connection with them, so who knows if she might target them for no reason?
Fu Ying bit her lip, but accidentally bit too hard, and the pain made her shudder.
She looked up at the list of immortals.
Anning's name, gleaming gold, indeed loomed over hers. It felt like someone was stepping on her head and bullying her, which was infuriating.
The others also looked toward Anning's name.
He might have said it on purpose for her to hear, or he might not have.
"Sister Anning is so gentle. I went to see her yesterday, hoping she would teach me the secrets of cultivation. I didn't expect her to be so serious in teaching me. But I never want to go there again."
"Huh? Why?"
"Because she was so serious, as if a teacher was instructing me, it was terrifying. Sometimes even the Dragon Lord was there, can you understand the feeling of two big shots looking at me so intently?"
"I understand, I understand."
"Huh, the Dragon Lord is here too?"
"It's true. I recently started writing a novel, and when I went to find Fairy Anning, I saw the Dragon Lord there several times."
Fu Ying couldn't listen anymore, "What are you trying to say! There's no way the Dragon Lord would ever be interested in that fox spirit An Ning."
"If she doesn't like her, why would she like you?"
"That's right, Fuyao. People used to think you were a good match for Long Zun because you were good-looking, had a good personality, and were of good character. But now, in everyone's eyes, you have nothing left. Long Zun isn't blind, how could he possibly be interested in someone like you with such a bad character?"
"You guys!" Fu Ying was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes.
At that moment, she finally understood what it felt like to be unwelcome.
There was a time when she secretly targeted other fairies, making them experience the feeling of being isolated. Now, she herself was experiencing that feeling.
A gust of wind blew.
Everyone saw Xuanxian arrive, but she was accompanied by other fairies and goddesses.
The immortals quickly composed themselves.
Xuanxian glanced around and, seeing Fuying there, immediately frowned. "Fuying, didn't I tell you to cultivate properly on the mountain?"
Fu Ying wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, lowered her head and walked towards her mother, but then looked curiously at the elders and other fairies beside her mother.
"This is my daughter Fuying, this is the second elder of the Phoenix Clan, Fengqing Fairy, this is Chifeng..." Xuanxian introduced them one by one, actually hoping that her daughter would have more contact with the Phoenix Clan.
Although the Phoenix Clan is a mutated form of the Phoenix Clan, in the Immortal Realm, the Phoenix is a very traditional and noble bloodline.
Xuanxian naturally hoped to establish a connection.
Fuying forced a smile and bowed to the graceful figures, saying, "Greetings, Fairy Fengqing, Greetings, Sister Chifeng."
Chi Feng felt that she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where she was.
Fairy Fengqing nodded distantly, then turned to look at Immortal Xuan, "Immortal Xuan, we'll stop here. Thank you for your help. We still need to see the Dragon Lord."
Xuanxian smiled and said, "Alright, I won't bother you any longer. Fuying, let's go."
Fuying followed behind her mother, and only after the group had gone far away did she ask in a low voice, "Mother, why would the Phoenix Clan come looking for the Dragon Lord out of the blue?"
How could Xuanxian not understand the purpose of his daughter's question?
As she walked, she turned her head and glared at her with exasperation. "You have the nerve to ask? I told you to stay put, and you ran out right away."
"Fuying, your mother wouldn't harm you. A relationship between you and the Dragon Lord is impossible. Fine, I'll tell you then. The Phoenix Clan has come specifically to discuss a marriage alliance with the Dragon Lord."
Fu Ying's lips trembled slightly; she couldn't accept this fact.
Xuanxian felt a pang of sadness seeing her daughter's fragile state. She went over and hugged her daughter. "Fuying, you've mistaken your enemy from the very beginning. There's no way that Anning could have anything with the Dragon Lord. We're just the Flower Fairy Clan. Traditionally, it's easier for the Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan to form marriage alliances."
Their union would be beneficial... and I see that the Phoenix Clan is coming on strong this time, and they are very confident when they talk about this matter, obviously they are certain that the Dragon Lord will not refuse.
"Fuying, stop focusing your attention on the Dragon Lord. Also, what you did was indeed wrong. Don't do it again. Your mother doesn't ask that you truly ascend to become an immortal; she only wishes for your peace and happiness in the celestial realm."
But Fuying looked unsteady, and although she heard her mother's voice, she couldn't make out what she was saying at all.
All she knew was that the Dragon Lord was getting married.
With the Phoenix Clan.
She was just a minor flower fairy; how could she compare to the Phoenix Clan?
Fuying followed Xuanxian back to the mountain, staggering along. She lay on the bed, utterly dejected, and cried uncontrollably.
Xuanxian had no choice but to stay by her daughter's side.
Hopefully, time will heal all wounds.

the other side.
He Suining has been spending a lot of time with Yitian lately, not because she specifically sought him out, but because Yitian specifically sought her out.
She also found it very strange.
this day.
He Suining and Yitian were standing at the entrance of his cave. She was holding some plants in her hands, including flowers and grasses.
With head bowed, I planted it little by little.
Before long, a beautiful scene appeared in front of the cave entrance, which had previously been rather unattractive and barren. Although there were some signs of human intervention, it was at least much better looking than before.
Yitian even used magic to split a crack not far away and filled it with warm spring water.
It was steaming hot.
He Suining even wanted to throw a few eggs in to try the taste of onsen eggs.
"Come in."
After preparing the outside, Yitian let He Suining go inside with him.
The two people went inside.
He Suining's eyes were almost blinded by the light. She squinted for a while, and after a long time, she slowly opened her eyes completely. She then discovered that the cave, which was originally dark and indistinct, was now resplendent in gold.
That's incredibly extravagant.
The ground was piled high with glittering gold coins, and not far away, an open wooden box was filled with dazzling jewels.
The walls were covered with murals, all of them glittering gold.
It looks great, though; it's not ostentatious.
Everything was sparkly, so much so that He Suining wondered if she had entered the home of the world's richest man.
"This is……"
He Suining looked at Yitian with a somewhat complicated expression.
Yitian raised his hand.
She glanced at him casually and noticed that he was wearing beautiful rings on his pretty fingers.
He wiggled his finger.
A huge jewel landed on his finger, which he then played with.
Subsequently.
Yitian tossed the pearl over, and He Suining quickly caught it with both hands, preventing it from falling to the ground.
This man is really...
You can't treat them like this just because you have money.
Yi Tian seemed to sense He Suining's thoughts, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. "I'd appreciate it if you could help me renovate my cave dwelling recently. You can take anything you like here."
He Suining felt that he was showing off his wealth.
Fortunately, she wasn't particularly resentful of the wealthy. She pursed her lips and casually joked, "What if I like them all?"
I thought Yitian was somewhat hesitant.
To everyone's surprise, he didn't care at all, his tone languid. He flew to the bed covered with plush blankets, lay on his side, and leisurely looked at He Suining, "Then you can move everything out."
"..." He Suining was just joking, how could she really want his things? She waved her hand and said, "I was just joking. I'm not helping you for anything."
That's what she said, but she still put the pearl in her hand into her storage ring. "Well, I'll accept this then. Speaking of which, you promised to have a match with me."
Yitian liked her way of speaking.
Whether He Suining herself noticed it or not, her voice always had a coquettish tone when she spoke to him.
But when he's with other people, he seems perfectly normal.
He absolutely loved this kind of double standard.
Of course, so did he.
He was always incredibly patient with her, and his usually cold tone would soften when he spoke to her.
In human terms, it suddenly clamped down.
"Didn't I compete with you?" Yi Tian propped his head up, looking at her lazily, a hint of a smile in his red and black eyes. "Now people outside are saying we're mortal enemies, fighting every other day."
Speaking of which.
He Suining was genuinely angry, hands on her hips, "You're clearly teasing me on purpose. Every time I ask you to compete seriously, you never do. I want you to have a real fight with me, and I don't care if I lose."
She doesn't really care who's first or second.
But everything has to be taken seriously. Yi Tian never takes things seriously, making their fight seem less like a fight and more like a display of affection, even though the immortals being shown affection didn't realize it at all.
Yitian was charmed by her earnestness.
His raised eyes revealed a clear smile.
The inner demon beside him squatted on the ground drawing circles, feeling that his death was imminent and he would not survive.
The mighty Ink Feather Dragon Lord, knowing full well that what he was seeing was an illusion, still chose to immerse himself in it.
If he weren't incapable of harming the illusion, I would have loved to break it.
Ugh.
Love-struck people are even afraid of their own inner demons.
He Suining didn't know, but the inner demon did. He had been using the excuse of renovating the cave to stick close to her all the time.
Actually, it was because Ze Chen's behavior at the banquet last time made Yi Tian very uncomfortable.
He didn't think He Suining would be attracted to Ze Chen, but he suddenly realized that compared to the elegant Ze Chen...
His cave dwelling did not look very nice.
A dragon should be dazzling, and its cave should be filled with jewels and gold coins, representing its status and wealth. It could give all these things to He Suining if it so desired.
Judging from her little gesture of tucking the pearl into her storage ring, you can tell she really likes it.
It's corny, but it's cute.
