Dance Of The Phoenix
103. Calm before the storm

"I feel that I'm a little .. fat(?)" Gu Yuena monologued while looking at the mirror while changing clothes. He had to use an oversized robe so as not to see his slightly bulging stomach.

Chu Xin who came over while carrying a cloak chuckled. "Very normal when the age of the womb has reached the 5th month. Madam, that means your Little Highness is very healthy."

Chu Xin put Gu Yuena's dark red robe on the woman's shoulder. "Are you still going to hide it? In 4 months you will give birth."

"Yes, I was thinking." Gu Yuena complained and sat on the chair while relaxing her shoulders.

It had been 5 months, his posture had also started to change. There was no way the clan people would not be aware, especially the alchemists and healers.

While the communication connection with the Underworld is being repaired since it was damaged by the magician spies. He had heard from the magician he had captured before Su Churan killed, that none of them knew the true identity of their master. All they knew, their master was the only disciple of the Queen of Linghun Palace who had been 'prepared' since childhood.

Prepared as a heartless killer. What monster did the witch mean was the hall master?

They never saw the emotion of that person. You could say, his nature and mind were unpredictable. Like someone who loses human emotions and becomes an empty shell for a long time. He was a puppet of Linghun Palace.

Linghun Palace let the Linghun Hall act as it pleased. The man built the Linghun Hall, then created a death creature that controlled his soul power. His soul force was so powerful that it could control an army. In addition, he also recruited an army of magicians specially trained in several divisions.

If he wanted to infiltrate the Linghun Hall, it would be more difficult for him than entering the Linghun Palace. The reason, Lord Linghun Hall has a cultivation of level 9 that is different from ordinary humans.

Rumor is he's a dragon. Like Bai Youzhe ....

"Norga ...." Does that person also have dragon blood? How could there be 3 dragon bloods?

If true, it was worth it to be able to defeat him despite already using phoenix power though. The Yuansu Palace King who was already at the 9th level alone was unable to linger against him. If it did not directly hit the vital point, the Palace King Yuansu often lost the duel.

Ah, he so missed the Palace King Yuansu and Yan Shuiyin.

Time passes so fast.

"Let's go out for a minute." Gu Yuena suddenly wanted to take a walk.

Chu Xin nodded enthusiastically. Gu Yuena rarely asked to come out. All this time, the woman just sleeps and eats. Want to be spoken to seriously by Su Churan alone was very grateful.

Chu Xin left to let Gu Yuena enjoy her own time.

Over the past 5 months, Gu Yuena has learned so much to have a mother's affection. Usually it is so funny. But lately, when she realized her baby was showing movement, she became very foreign and happy together.

Swiping slowly at his slightly bulging stomach, he said, "Did you miss him too? What if we make a letter so that when the border is fixed, the message will be delivered immediately."

Gu Yuena's words got a kick from inside her stomach. Although it had happened so often, Gu Yuena still liked to be surprised and did not expect it.

It feels so real.

Gu Yuena got up from the chair and picked up the stationery as soon as possible. He scraped the ink first, then used a brush and started writing on paper.

There were many things that he missed, but he would be happier if he met Bai Youzhe both in the Underworld and the Mitian Plains. He would tell her that they would be parents.

"Hey, don't linger there. I can't send you a long letter, so I'll tell you directly. We missed you. From your sweet and pretty wild cat."

Gu Yuena wrote quickly and drew a cat sticking out its tongue in front of the wolf. He smiled to himself as he drew it, it reminded him of their days in the academy.

"Hurry back." Gu Yuena said with a frown, then folded the letter and sent it through magic. His magic would send directly to Bai Youzhe once the border was repaired.

In the distance, a place where there were many large creatures flapping their wings in the air, a cold-looking castle stood firmly among the world's dividers.

Right at the tallest tower, a pair of night blue irises looked at the gray sky with no apparent expression. Even so, there was a trace of longing within his eyes.

"Sin."

That name just said. The destruction of the world barrier makes him fret about the conditions out there. He was right at the boundary, which allowed him to see the difference in time that was very far from the two worlds. The Underworld had already passed by several years, but the Mitian Plains had only gone through 5 months since his departure.

Bai Youzhe at the border was unable to sense the time specifically because she was between two worlds at once. Border repair has always been difficult. When he had just arrived at this place and was about to go to the Underworld Palace, he was already faced with some troublemakers that caused the breakdown of the barrier that contacted the two worlds

He was unable to send a letter to Gu Yuena. Bai Youzhe could only sigh.

He doesn't care much, anyway.

Facing a dragon sucks too makes his emotions up and down more than when dealing with humans. Although in the end they are easier to control because of the simple way of thinking.

Most importantly at the moment, he had to solve the main problem and come back faster.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Gu Yuena was already so bored that she almost fell asleep. When he saw the clear sky after the rain had stopped, his eyes were as bright as the sky and just came out.

Chu Xin who was aware that her active superior was out, immediately rushed to follow. It was unexpected that Gu Yuena who became a house child now chose to go to the city.

The woman bought whatever she saw. Both food and other goods, he just squandered money without blinking. Chu Xin became a victim of carrying such a large item until it was difficult to accommodate. Why not just put it in a pocket?

While eating the fruit sweets in her hands, Gu Yuena went around until nightfall.

Tonight is the night of the summer festival held once a year. There were many red lanterns lined up around the street, lighting up the beautiful night.

Gu Yuena held a hanging lantern in her hand while looking through the show. Although for him the show was ordinary, but he still enjoyed it. Chu Xin even to the point of cheering.

There were times when in the middle of the road, Gu Yuena saw a complete couple where the woman was also pregnant. Looking at the man who was showing his affection, Gu Yuena so put on a wry smile.

"Ah, I hate this feeling." Gu Yuena rarely felt envious, or arguably barely ever.

If only Bai Youzhe was here. Again, he missed everything that the man had given him. Gu Yuena felt dependent. No, he feels so childish.

As if responding to his feelings, the baby inside there kicked back, making Gu Yuena's attention distracted. "Are you entertaining me or following me?"

"Miss, have you been very active lately, Your Highness?" Chu Xin looked interested while looking down at Gu Yuena's stomach. He wondered who the child would look like.

Hopefully, his character is not like his two terrible parents.

"He's like ... understand what I say and feel." Gu Yuena guessed. Because every time her emotions are up and down, or are talking, her baby will respond with a kick like attracting attention.

"That's clever. I can't wait to see him born. Have you decided on a name?"

"Of course." Gu Yuena had not thought of that. The woman or the man was still unknown, so he could not decide on a name just like that.

They continue to walk in the middle of this very festive festival. They parted ways when Chu Xin suddenly just got a call from her other comrades, making Gu Yuena have to walk on her own.

I don't know what made Chu Xin have to leave.

Gu Yuena continued her steps in the extremely crowded territory. While looking around and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere accompanied by a cool night breeze.

However, in the midst of that peace, a soothing gust of cool wind suddenly brought about a surprising change. Gu Yuena stiffened instantly.

It smells of blood.

Gu Yuena reversed direction to the origin of the wind. Looking up at the sky, the moon that had previously shone brightly was now completely covered by black clouds, bringing about darkness within the city.

This is definitely not a good sign.

The next second, the wind that was full of blood-thinning smell grew louder and firmer about everything. The sound of screaming echoed around the city. Many people were running from Gu Yuena's point of view as if being chased by something.

Gu Yuena's forehead wrinkled strangely. He was just about to go to the origin of everyone's fear, but suddenly a group of butterflies came towards him and grabbed his arm.

"We don't have much time!" Su Churan who came suddenly looked extremely anxious. He grabbed Gu Yuena's arm and pulled her without waiting for Gu Yuena's speech.

They disappeared from the human crowd that was running around. At the same time, a group of black shadows shot out at high speed in the air towards the city, causing the previously very festive festival to be filled with fear.

A masked figure appeared among the black shadows darting through the air. His pair of jet-black irises looked at the chaos without the slightest expression.

"It's so boring." His cold voice came out, giving off a real feeling of fear. There was a hint of an evil smile behind that black mask.
