Dance Of The Phoenix
109. Mom Come

While getting to know Bai Youzhe, Gu Yuena only found out that the man had a very strange aunt like an alien. The woman who was just relaxing in the Underworld without any burden was as if the world was fine.

Even up to this second, the woman known as Xuan Yi was sitting leisurely while eating wine on the table right in front of him and Bai Youzhe. He came suddenly saying he wanted to meet Gu Yuena, even Bai Youzhe could not forbid.

"I heard you were Princess Vanya's daughter. Actually, if you don't have phoenix blood, I won't let you be with my niece. After all, you have a relationship with the enemy side," Xuan Yi said.

No need to be polite to someone like this, right? Gu Yuena felt a bit irritated. But it should not be arbitrary for now.

"Although Gu Yuena doesn't have phoenix blood, you can't oppose her either." Bai Youzhe looked annoyed. It is very clear that the relationship between nephew and aunt is not quite acceptable even though sometimes they can work together.

"That's sensitive. I have no bad intentions for you either. Your business, I don't care." Xuan Yi put on an annoyed face while rolling his eyeballs. "But .. seeing Gu Yuena, of course I remembered that Li Hua. Bai Yue and Li Hua were old friends, who would have thought of getting into a conflict and killing each other. Remembering the past, gives me a headache."

They're old friends? Gu Yuena just found out about it. He did not know much about his mother so did not think too much about the reason why his mother attacked Tianshuang Palace all-out at a time when his father was gone. He thought it was a long-standing matter between the conflict of Linghun Palace and the other palaces.

"When Gu Ying is a nice and funny man, what a pity." Xuan Yi sighed without explaining anything.

"How can you have a good judgment of my father? As you said before, 'we' are enemies." Gu Yuena could not help but ask a question.

"Compared to the previous King of Linghun Palace, Gu Ying was far different from most Linghun Palace overlords. Perhaps it was because his time was spent in the Underworld as the owner of dragon blood and detached from the shadows of the palace. If you live in those days, you will know how sickening the leadership of the Linghun Palace King who is your grandfather."

So sickening that Xuan Yi himself had to be in this shitty place for a long time. It was really messed up.

"Bai Yue made a plan with Gu Ying to end the war that the King of Linghun Palace had made. Who would have thought, Li Hua became misunderstood and hated Bai Yue. The change is drastic. I thought, what happened to Li Hua had something to do with the King of Linghun Palace back then. It was known that the Linghun Palace King could manipulate the minds of his targets, making Li Hua become like this. After that day, the plan failed and war ensued. Bai Yue was severely injured and disappeared for a long time."

"That guy's alive? King of Linghun Palace?" ask Gu Yuena.

"Gu Ying killed him before ascending the throne." Xuan Yi sighed. "It's like you don't know your parents very well at all."

Naturally, Gu Yuena lived a life full of falsehoods. He is also not big in this world so he does not know what is right and what is wrong about what actually happened.

"That's it, no longer discussing the past." Xuan Yi returned to being a lazy figure while eating wine. "So, when did you get married?"

"After this matter is over," Gu Yuena replied.

"Too long. You should get married tomorrow." Xuan Yi spoke without a burden.

"I don't have a problem." Bai Youzhe replied casually making Gu Yuena glare.

Gu Yuena immediately said, "There are some urgent matters that still need to be taken care of."

"If you want to seek your mother's blessing, do it yourself. I didn't interfere. Don't expect everything to go well." Xuan Yi snorted.

"After all, I am still the Princess of Linghun Palace. I don't need his permission, but I have to solve my problem first. Youzhe also has his own problems." Gu Yuena glanced at Bai Youzhe meaningfully.

Bai Youzhe immediately nodded, confirming Gu Yuena's words. "Again, it makes no difference."

Whereas who had just agreed to Xuan Yi's crazy advice? Aunts and nephews are the same.

"If that's the case, then solve it as soon as possible." Xuan Yi flicked his hands, leaving everything to them.

"When are you going back to the Underworld?" ask Bai Youzhe. He asked as if hinting at Xuan Yi to quickly leave.

"Either, maybe tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, next month, next year, or not coming back." Xuan Yi sneered.

"I'll bring someone to take you tomorrow." Bai Youzhe spoke indifferently before finally leaving with Gu Yuena.

Xuan Yi instantly stood up and looked at the man disapprovingly. "Hey, who approved your suggestion? I'm not leaving!"

"It's an order!" Bai Youzhe's cold voice that went away sounded.

Xuan Yi silenced her mouth back then with an annoyed face. He clucked, stomping his hands and feet as if to invite a fight before finally sitting down to eat wine. His face still looked sour.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

After the recent assault, Tianlong City was in the process of repairing where many people passed by doing the menial work of repairing damaged buildings. Bao Jun was assigned to Tianlong City, supervising and directing what should be done to restore the city to its original state.

After all, the city was destroyed as a result of the battle of the two palaces. Innocent people are victims of it and have become refugees on the mountain. If you want to restore the city as it was, it will at least take a very long time.

The city full of ruins was imprinted on a pair of blood red irises of female figures outside the city gates. He appeared out of nowhere, stepping foot inside carrying an extremely dense death aura. Her golden hair that was shouldered looked extremely beautiful in the sunlight, her black dress that swept the ground along with the red-eyed stick in her hand showed her identity.

The blood-red blazing eyes were typical of Wyvernia nobles, as well as the golden hair was very similar to those of the current Wyvernia Emperor. A smile formed on her red lips, her beautiful face looked natural, yet deadly.

His presence was naturally visible to many people. In an instant, they looked at her with a strange and fearful feeling while moving aside, giving way for the woman to enter the city.

No one accompanied the woman.

Many of the guild members as well as the palace were shocked when they sensed the approaching threatening aura. In a hurry they put on a watchful attitude and brandished weapons, while the others immediately gave word to the king.

Looking at the many weapons that were brandished towards her, the woman showed a horrible wide smile. He tilted his head, then said, "Is this how Tianshuang Palace welcomes old friends?"

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"You missed a meeting two days ago. Doesn't it matter?" Gu Yuena pinched Bai Yozuhe's cheek in a fit of anxiety. The man still slept on his lap from morning until he missed the meeting time he was supposed to attend.

Bai Youzhe held Gu Yuena's hand which continued to pull her cheek, "I'm the king, what's the problem?"

It's so good to talk.

"Xuan Yi bribed the people from the Underworld not to go and continue to stay in your palace, is that why you won't come out? Don't want to hear the chatter?"

"Against that, I don't want to see his face." Bai Youzhe was very reluctant to meet that annoying woman.

Gu Yuena chuckled, then again pinched Bai Youzhe's cheek furiously using her other hand. Bai Youzhe held her hand again for the second time until Gu Yuena could not escape.

"Hey, let go." Gu Yuena felt sore about the two positions of her hands that Bai Youzhe was holding. He was already attractive as much as he could, but the man was still superior without moving.

Bai Youzhe did not say anything, just remained in her position without moving. Gu Yuena sighed in annoyance and forcefully pulled the stronger—.

Bai Youzhe's grip finally slipped off. However, instead of completely letting go of Gu Yuena, the man instead got up and grabbed Gu Yuena onto the bed rest.

Gu Yuena was grateful this time it was not the wall that would make her lumbar pain from being hit. Can a certain guy not be too aggressive?

Since Gu Yuena's position was not supportive, where she who had previously been sitting normally had been cornered by Bai Youzhe, so as not to make sure she could sneak away. Gu Yuena simply smiled resignedly, as she waved her two hands in front of Bai Youzhe's face.

Bai Youzhe chuckled. In fact, he deliberately took it off so as not to injure Gu Yuena's hand which was too self-imposing. He became worried about how Gu Yuena would be in the Underworld.

Gu Yuena wrapped her arms around Bai Youzhe's neck as the distance between them grew thinner and erased. Bai Youzhe kissed her gently, until finally when Gu Yuena replied to her, then the kiss became a little hotter.

However, it did not last long. The two of them opened their eyes simultaneously as if they had found something wrong. They give a little distance, look at each other with complicated views.

"He ...." Gu Yuena did not continue her sentence, knowing who was currently the shackle of Bai Youzhe's mind that suddenly fell silent. That aura must be very familiar. It felt very clear as if it was already in front of them.

He really came.

Queen of Linghun Palace!

Soon, Gu Yuena and Bai Youzhe went out to see what kind of chaos the Linghun Palace Queen had created this time around. Xuan Yi who had already walked out of the palace first now put on a cold look that was much different from usual.

Right in front of the palace barrier, the terrifying blood-red sliced woman was present alone. The uninitiated did indeed only see her present alone, but for the people of the palace with high abilities including Gu Yuena and Bai Youzhe knew, that the woman was not alone.

Not bringing in death squads or any other witches or humans, but some kind of red-eyed monster that would bring a nightmare to the palace.

Gu Yuena could feel it clearly. There were countless pairs of red eyes behind those silent-looking trees.

Gu Yuena was barely speechless. He looked towards the cold-looking Bai Youzhe. But when he saw Gu Yuena's red iris looking anxious, Bai Youzhe softened her gaze and clasped her hands tighter.

Xuan Yi who originally looked cold, now turned his face water into 'normal' and showed a smile as if meeting an old friend.

"For a long time no see, my poor Hua'er." Xuan Yi greeted in a familiar tone as if the one being accosted was a brother of his own.

"What a coincidence. In addition to picking up my daughter, I came to meet an old friend. You have changed a lot" Li Hua said.

"I barely even recognized you, you've changed a lot more. I have not seen each other for a very long time, so I miss the times when our chess game never ended. I wonder, who will win this chess in the end." Xuan Yi said meaningfully.

"If you're willing, I can show you my chess game right now." Li Hua smiled obliquely. "But before that, I have to put back what to put." His gaze was directed at Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena let out a long breath. The woman ... why is it so impatient to make such a big deal? Tomorrow is the departure schedule.

"Your Excellency Bai, you're already very big. Last time we met, you were this small." Li Hua placed his hands waist-high as a measure of height. He continued, "Isn't it fun to see a rare show?"

Gu Yuena started to worry. It could be that the woman brought up the past and was intending to provoke Bai Youzhe. He looked towards Bai Youzhe, making sure that the man was not affected by the person's speech.

"Nrouzhe ...."

Bai Youzhe's cold face did not change at all. He laughed coldly, then replied, "This king was a child, not understanding anything. If there was time, His Majesty could explain directly what happened back then. This king, will listen well."

That's a threat!

Bai Youzhe looked calm, but her mind was at war. His emotions must have been mixed. If it wasn't for Gu Yuena, she was afraid there would have been a showdown. Even Li Hua's gaze was already as sharp as a knife.

That was what made Gu Yuena wary.

"That's it, no longer talking about the past." Xuan Yi instantly ended it when he felt an ominous cold aura from both sides. "Hua'er, didn't you come to pick up your wandering daughter?"

Li Hua's sharp gaze changed in an instant. "true." She smiles. "Gu Yuena likes to wander and is full of curiosity, has troubled you guys."

"I think your daughter is better than you, of course I don't mind. Take it!" Xuan Yi gestured for Gu Yuena to leave and avoid trouble. He could not bear what was behind Li Hua at the moment.

Bai Youzhe's expression became complicated, then looked at Gu Yuena who seemed to be looking at her mother with narrowed eyes. "Sin."

Gu Yuena turned her head immediately. He was not aware that Xuan Yi had already signaled him to leave. Bai Youzhe was conscious, but ignored her.

"You said we'd meet in the Underworld, I'd find you there." Bai Youzhe smiled faintly. He could have stopped Gu Yuena from leaving and chose to fight against Li Hua, but he could not have interrupted Gu Yuena's plans.

"It's still a long time. You take it easy, I will definitely return," Gu Yuena replied.

"No matter how long, I'll keep looking for you. I'll definitely find you and pick you up." Bai Youzhe said confidently.

Gu Yuena smiled faintly, feeling rather heavy. He hugged Bai Youzhe, not caring if this was in public and in front of his own mother. Bai Youzhe hugged him even tighter.

"I'll be waiting for you." Gu Yuena said in a low tone.

After a long moment of hugging, Gu Yuena immediately distanced herself and left Bai Youzhe's side. Bai Youzhe's grip just slipped off as Gu Yuena moved away.

Gu Yuena turned her head towards him, seeing Bai Youzhe reveal a sentence through lip movements, stating that she loves Gu Yuena. Gu Yuena smiled, then replied with a voiceless lip gesture.

Gu Yuena who was away, made Bai Youzhe's heart empty instantly.

Gu Yuena's gaze was now turned on Li Hua with a serious look. His pair of phoenix irises looked sharp when approaching his own mother.

"We need to talk," Gu Yuena said in a low tone.

"Good, but before that let me finish—"

"There is no time or I will never help you" Gu Yuena interrupted with a threat. Of course it's just a threat.

"You can't do it."

Gu Yuena smiled obliquely. "Want to bet?" He challenged Li Hua.

Li Hua looked objected, but he could not refute Gu Yuena this time. Based on Gu Yuena's nature, what if that woman really did something stupid? He had to take Gu Yuena to Linghun Palace first, only to be able to control it.

"Good." Li Hua agreed unconditionally. He looked towards Tianshuang Palace, especially that man surnamed Bai. "This time, I can't stop by and accept your courtesy because of my hurried daughter."

Li Hua turned back, went to lead the way followed by Gu Yuena before finally disappearing. Gu Yuena briefly looked back, looking at Bai Youzhe who was still silent before she actually left.

All the red eyes behind the shady forest disappeared.

Xuan Yi who had been holding his breath immediately gushed in relief. He sighed, squatting while massaging his throbbing temple. "That person is right is no longer sane."

Bai Youzhe on the other hand was simply silent when everyone was ordered to disperse by Xuan Yi. His mind was filled with Gu Yuena leaving.

Even if it reached the end of the world, he would look for Gu Yuena wherever she was.
