Dance Of The Phoenix
108. Covert Plans

There is a lot going on in this vast world. Controlled by the spinning wheel of life, accompanied by the rapid running of time. Out there, various tragedies and life problems are popping up endlessly. Death and birth continue like the flow of water.

One day, one would be able to hold the world in his grasp, as if one's life and death were determined by it. That's gonna happen. But back to where someone was going to go. Saving the world or destroying it, saving one person or saving thousands of people are all options.

For that reason, the right direction is the main step. If one were to lose direction, he would fall into an endless pit of darkness. It would certainly be an unavoidable journey, especially for Gu Yuena.

The soul force in his body was gradually messing with his mind. Gu Yuena had been trying to overcome the chaos all day, aided by the ice jade within her heart to regulate the raging soul force.

If it continued like this, Gu Yuena could lose her mind and get lost into the darkness. He can't let it happen.

I don't know how long time has passed. When Gu Yuena opened her eyes, the sky had already darkened. He felt someone coming to his place which made Gu Yuena have to get out of bed and sit on a chair to greet him.

Xiao Hei appeared first from the outside, meowing to tell Gu Yuena something. However, the arrival of the tall male figure answered the utterance of Xiao Hei who wanted to tell about his arrival.

The little cat immediately jumped away from the man who had surprised him and cursed behind Gu Yuena's body. Xiao Bai over the man's shoulder stuck out his tongue mocking Xiao Hei.

It seemed like Xiao Bai had become familiar with a certain iceberg.

The face that had previously looked extremely cold in the hall when facing the elders, was now far from what it should have been seen. The ice inside the blue iris of the night seemed to melt when she saw her Nana sitting on the seat while looking at her.

The man approached too.

"It looks like my Nana's on the rise." Bai Youzhe sat down next to him, letting Xiao Bai jump on the floor.

Gu Yuena was already able to sense Bai Youzhe's whereabouts that the girl previously had a hard time feeling. Gu Yuena's improvement was large.

"Excluding upgrades. I'm still level 8 like before." Gu Yuena replied while taking tea to drink by herself. "Just ... There are some things that might be troubling."

"Tell me."

"The battle before, I used too much soul force to the point of not being able to control it. I don't have any special training in soul power, so it's kind of dangerous when my mind is affected." Gu Yuena sighed. "I'm afraid I'm going as crazy as I used to be."

Bai Youzhe looked at him full of question marks. Going crazy like before? Gu Yuena once said that she had lived in another world for a long time. He became curious, what kind of world Gu Yuena was treading on before.

"Are you among those who can remember life before incarnation?" ask Bai Youzhe.

Gu Yuena smiled wryly. "I don't even know whether to consider it an incarnation or not." He propped up his chin with his hands on the table while staring at Bai Youzhe. "Want I tell you a secret story?"

"Nana has what else to tell?" Bai Youzhe was ready to listen.

Gu Yuena said, "I think .. I have lived and grown up twice in two different worlds. I didn't even know if I was from this world or not. The world in which I grew up first, is not within the scope between the Mitian Plains, Underworld, or even the Skyworld—if there is."

"That place is so good?"

"Not worse than the Mitian Plains." Gu Yuena thought for a moment while recalling. "No magic, no monsters or demons. Although there are some monsters and magic hidden, but they—including I— are very skeptical of the existence of monsters and magic. You could say, life is like a weak man who only relies on intelligence and money."

"Is there a world like that?" Bai Youzhe looked surprised. It seemed like the world he knew was still far from the real world. How big is the universe?

"Humans make weapons to be stronger. The weapon is not just a weapon to kill directly such as a sword, arrow, gun, or so on. Technology, inter-state relations, influence, money, information, everything is used as a weapon. Their thinking is much more complicated and based on science than humans in this place. The people around me resisted the supernatural, so I didn't believe in magic at first."

"They're not cultivating, then what if there's a monster blatantly attacking?"

"I told you, the existence of monsters is very hidden there. Only frequently encountered ferocious beasts in the heavily guarded forest using human intelligence. Just so you know, even they can make a barrier without using magic. I've been in a war, weapons used to make explosions and kill, not using magic or weapons we used to use." Gu Yuena sighed remembering someone. "If I knew how to make it like that guy, I would definitely not have to bother."

"That guy?"

"Only a friend kills me." Gu Yuena nodded. "In the past, I lived in a pool of blood. Become a spy, then kill in the shadows. I think I'm crazy for liking how I kill people to the point of being bathed in blood. That's why I said, I'm worried about going back in time and hurting more people. The power of the soul pushed me to do it."

Bai Youzhe had no idea what Gu Yuena was doing, but she knew it was like being someone crazy was going to kill. He had experienced it once, but it had been a very long time since in the Underworld.

"Don't hold it in, it will hurt you" Bai Youzhe said.

"I promised the teacher not to kill people carelessly." Gu Yuena complained.

"Not having to do it to just anyone. The influence of soul power was very powerful. The more you resist it, the more powerful it is that influence that makes you lose your mind." Bai Youzhe suddenly flashed something. "By the way, I'm curious about the world you mean."

"If you want, just ask my mother to send your soul there. He'll be so excited." Gu Yuena nodded.

Bai Youzhe chuckled. "There's no need to ask your mother, you took me there."

Gu Yuena laughed. "I can't."

"In that case, I'll find it for you."

"Could you?"

Bai Youzhe looked at the dark sky, then said, "It's definitely there, isn't it? The world is so vast, we can explore different worlds all the time."

"Exploring the world ...." Not bad, he thought. Gu Yuena would wait for that day to arrive. But before that .... "Your Majesty, are you so powerful that you can travel across the world?"

"Want to try?"

Gu Yuena was surprised. Is the guy serious or joking? "No. I'm afraid I can't go back. Worse, I can't do what I have to do here because I can't get back on time."

Bai Youzhe laughed at Gu Yuena's behavior. "Then we wait for the right time to leave."

Is that guy really serious?

"The matter of Linghun Palace and Underworld should be resolved sooner. In this way, the time you have will be more," said Bai Youzhe.

While Gu Yuena was still speechless. That guy is serious!

"Your Excellency Bai, what is the actual level of your strength?"

"Not that .. I think you can no longer be said human. A level 9 human would not have the strength like you."

"I am a dragon. The Bai family is the descendant of the dragon."

"The Gu family is not a descendant of a phoenix or a dragon, but I have phoenix blood," Gu Yuena grumbled.

"You're a descendant of dragon blood, it's natural to have phoenix blood. Basically, there was almost no lineage between dragon blood or phoenix blood, let alone both. If one of them has a descendant, then it will inherit the power of a dragon or phoenix."

"I just found out." Gu Yuena was shocked. Why has he never found this information from any book?

"I'm making up."

"...."

"Handler." Bai Youzhe nodded.

"...."

Fucking Bai Youzhe. He was either serious or joking!

"i'm serious. What I said was in the ancient book of the Dragon race palace library. The explanation is complete."

Gu Yuena thought of something. "If our son was born .. what would he be?"

Bai Youzhe looked at Gu Yuena while thinking. "Of course." There was no information from the ancient book, because it never happened.

Supposedly the birth of their child would bring a new history, but unfortunately fate says otherwise.

"Do we just do it?" Bai Youzhe's overly outspoken idea managed to get Gu Yuena's flat gaze.

However, that flat gaze was only a glance. The woman pulled the corner of her lips. "After marriage."

Which means, after all the trouble is over. Gu Yuena did not want to take the risk that made her feel guilty again. Now he was still sad to think about it.

Bai Youzhe realized Gu Yuena's mood had suddenly become sad when recalling their son's death. He grabbed Gu Yuena's hand, grasping her tightly.

"The past will not repeat itself." Bai Youzhe did not want Gu Yuena to continue being sad.

Gu Yuena looked fine in the next second. Suddenly his mind remembered something, which made him have to look at Bai Youzhe seriously.

"I have to go to Linghun Palace."

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Queen Li Hua had heard what happened thanks to the spies she sent. Calling Yang Xinyuan back to the palace to report, as well as knowing the results that had been achieved. Unfortunately, all of this was not up to his expectations.

"Bai Youzhe?" The woman pulled her eyebrows. He snorted, "They, mother and son are really similar."

Yang Xinyuan simply remained silent in front of Li Hua. Li Hua had killed Bai Yue, the Princess of Tianshuang Palace who was Bai Youzhe's birth mother, he witnessed it clearly back then. As for what was the matter between them, he did not know for sure. Clearly, Li Hua hated that woman a lot.

"It seems, the Bai Family has already fully appeared after this incident. I can feel the presence of that woman." Li Hua smiled evilly. "Do you think I should meet up with an old friend to say hello, and pick up my daughter? I haven't been to that place in a long time."

"Gu Yuena said, he'll be here soon. Students think ...."

"I know of your intention to keep things at bay for Gu Yuena. But he can't be there much longer. He had lost it once again because of his own fault, fearing that his surroundings would make him hate me even more." That would be very troublesome. Li Hua did not want to fight his own daughter. Gu Yuena must have thought so too.

Li Hua looked at Yang Xinyuan with full warning. "For the time being, don't meet him. The soul force should have mastered it for a while."

Yang Xinyuan just silently heard what her teacher said. The power of the soul is a terrible thing. When his mind was taken over by the soul force, he was locked up in a terrible cage in order not to make much harm to the palace. He did not remember clearly until he finally realized when he woke up in a jagged cage in a chained condition.

"It's time I sent him to the Underworld. When controlled by the power of the soul, he can be something beneficial to me." Li Hua's mood was good. Although their attack failed due to Bai Youzhe's arrival, at least Yang Xinyuan managed to make Gu Yuena touch the limits of soul force.

The moment Gu Yuena started to mess up, that was when she would make Gu Yuena obey her words.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"Will the Queen do anything?" ask Bai Youzhe. He was surprised to hear Gu Yuena was planning to go to Linghun Palace.

"There are some things I don't even understand when I talk to him. These two attacks, he seemed to be in such a hurry for me to go there. If I don't go, I don't know how much he'll do."

"Do you have to go?" Bai Youzhe did not want Gu Yuena to leave. The only place Bai Youzhe could not touch was Linghun Palace. If Gu Yuena went there, she was afraid that Gu Yuena would actually leave her.

"I must. I know what I'm supposed to do." Gu Yuena said with complete confidence. He couldn't let his mother make bigger trouble everywhere.

His father's resurrection was the first thing. Then followed by the mission of the phoenix in the Underworld. Gu Yuena has her own plan to stop her mother's crazy actions that are out of bounds. Unfortunately, he must not reveal his plans to anyone to make things look more natural.

Until all his plans are done smoothly, he will return. He will return as Gu Yuena from Yuansu Palace and end everything.

"Right now, I am the Princess of Linghun Palace. I need to finish that identity as soon as possible. Utilize and end immediately, in order to return to being Gu Yuena." Gu Yuena looked at Bai Youzhe seriously. "Don't stop me."

He knew, Bai Youzhe would definitely stop him from entering the dangerous dark hole no matter what the risk.

"Did I not have a chance to help?" tanyakanya.

"There may be, but wait after we meet back in the Underworld." That's gonna take a long, long time.

Bai Youzhe was sure what Gu Yuena would do was not as simple as obedience or defying the Queen of Linghun Palace. Gu Yuena definitely has a plan.

"Okay, I'll wait." Bai Youzhe finally gave up, letting Gu Yuena do as she wished. "But before that, give me some time before you part. We just met after 5 months. In the Underworld, the time I spent was more than the time on the Mitian Plains."

Gu Yuena nodded. This farewell will be very long, not just take a few months. Gu Yuena made sure, he would be back in good shape. They would meet in a different way, unlike before that which started with Gu Yuena being injured.
