Dance Of The Phoenix
111. Rejecting Reality

Bizarrely.

There was no feeling whatsoever when the masked man stood before him. Gu Yuena even just kept quiet with a flat face, seeing the man slightly lowered his head to pay his respects to her.

The man who destroyed Yuansu Palace. The man who killed his teacher. The man who caused the death of his son ....

Gu Yuena hated him.

"When in the Underworld, you must cooperate well. My students will protect you there, so as much as possible get rid of past grudges to start a new page. After all, my disciple Yuanyuan has dragon blood. Nana, you can't refuse." Li Hua who was sitting on the end seat smiled widely after bringing together his daughter and disciple who previously only knew how to fight.

Gu Yuena suppressed the resentment and disbelief in her heart and just went to the dinner table—sitting in the available places. Unfortunately, the three of them would eat together at this long table.

"Yuanyuan, you shouldn't be wearing a mask here. My nana got upset, couldn't see you better." Li Hua seemed to be deliberately provoking a commotion. I don't know what the purpose is.

Yang Xinyuan felt doubtful, only remaining in her place. Clearly he could not display his face in front of Gu Yuena. Gu Yuena also did not look interested and only ate her food as quickly as possible.

"Teacher, you're kidding."

Li Hua chuckled at Yang Xinyuan's speech. "Have it, I won't force it. I just feel really happy, because I can finally eat at the same table as my daughter after all this time."

Gu Yuena twisted her eyeballs while chewing. If his brother were here, he wouldn't be this emotional. Where is her brother, by the way?

"Where's Brother?" ask Gu Yuena.

"Yuan'er .. lately he's been busy doing things, so can't meet you for now" Li Hua said. "You're practicing enough to reach level 9. If there is a need, you can ask Yuanyuan for help."

"Why should I ask my teacher's killer for help?"

"Nana—"

"Yan Shuiyin was also a member of Linghun— Palace. Someone should know how to look to keep boundaries." Gu Yuena said in a satirical tone, then glanced at the masked man cynically.

"Yan Shuiyin is a traitor. I have been hunting him for a long time, it just so happens that Yuanyuan found him in Yuansu Palace. So, you guys complete the task of clearing the traitor. You don't have to be upset. He became a teacher and dying for you was an honor for him."

Li Hua's words actually made Gu Yuena even more annoyed. Even Yang Xinyuan had prepared in case Gu Yuena's anger exploded due to her own mother's actions. But who would have thought, the woman still maintained her composure.

"Well, if your judgment is like that." Gu Yuena snorted.

"Gu Shan said you are very understanding, it seems that it is indeed true." Li Hua smiled in satisfaction at Gu Yuena's defeat.

This is the worst lunch ever. Li Hua continued to speak in a calm tone, talking about death and anyone he killed as if talking lightly. Gu Yuena was already depressed at all times until she finally got out of the chair and left there with a tired excuse.

"Turn the Princess to the room." Li Hua gave the order to the servant who was on guard. The servant immediately lowered his head and went following Gu Yuena's direction.

Seeing Gu Yuena's departure, Li Hua hissed, "He's getting stubborn."

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Gu Yuena escorted the maid to her specially prepared room not too far from the room where the sacrificial altar was located. After the servants left, Gu Yuena did not directly enter the room but stayed in place.

His gaze cooled down before finally saying, "His tune, you are also caught off guard by His Majesty's attitude. Didn't we?" He looked back, seeing Yang Xinyuan present not far from where he was standing.

The dragon-carved black mask still stuck to his face, looking extremely mysterious. That was what upset Gu Yuena and felt like killing her. However, he realized he was still unable to do so.

Yang Xinyuan left the dining room, leaving the chatty queen alone. That woman must be upset. However, Yang Xinyuan did not care at all. He only thought about Gu Yuena's bad condition not too long ago.

"It looks like your injuries have improved."

"Don't act like you care." Gu Yuena crossed her chest. "I don't even know you. You didn't kill me just because I was the Princess you had to take care of. To be honest, I don't need any of that, let alone someone who's ever wanted to kill me."

"That day, I'm sorry. My clone just has a survival instinct, doing whatever it takes to stay alive."

"It's just a clone, I've killed him." Gu Yuena was acting relaxed as if not taking issue with her. But that's not the point. "Is there anything else you can clear up? The assault on Tianshuang Palace?"

"Are you pregnant?" tanyakanya. He had been thinking for quite a while, the reason why Gu Yuena had become so weak and in pain was only due to one strike. The woman continued to hold her stomach and moaned on the ground with blood flowing down her skirt. He obviously did not miss those details.

"What do you think?" Gu Yuena did not answer directly.

Yang Xinyuan chuckled. "Your relationship with that person has gotten that far."

"It has nothing to do with you." Gu Yuena coldly replied.

Yang Xinyuan looked at him meaningfully. "So you hate me so much?"

"It is precisely because what I killed was your son with that person that I have no regrets at all. I'll do it over and over again."

"I expected it." Gu Yuena felt quite a strong anger, but she did not say anything. Perhaps because the other party was dragon blood, whereas he was the only phoenix blood.

"Aren't you wondering who I really am?" Yang Xinyuan suddenly asked so, leaving Gu Yuena silent for a while.

Curious? Of course he was very curious. But that was before. Gu Yuena had speculated as to the identity of the masked man ever since seeing him take off the mask back then, but she was filled with doubts. In the end, Gu Yuena chose to be caught between such doubts rather than accept reality.

"Absolutely not." Gu Yuena decided not to look at the face behind that mask forever.

He was afraid, if it really was Yang Xinyuan.

Yang Xinyuan looked at Gu Yuena for a while, then said, "You're still the same."

The man went into the darkness, leaving Gu Yuena a lonely passage alone. Gu Yuena was empty for a while, deciding not to think about it anymore.

He knew who the masked man was, but refused to admit it.

He's too angry.

Gu Yuena went inside the room to calm her mind. Xiao Hei appeared at the right moment while carrying a dried fish in his mouth, while Xiao Bai appeared on Gu Yuena's arm while rubbing her head spoiled.

"Miss, Xiao Hei brought important news!" Xiao Hei meowed while eating the dried fish and devoured it to the end.

Gu Yuena sat on the chair. He watched around for a moment. An unusually large room, filled with lit candles. A large bed was glued in the middle of the room, a dressing mirror, a study table and several nightstands were decorated. There is also a wardrobe and a place to change clothes that are limited to black curtains. Those people really intend.

This room was gloomy, as well as more majestic than his room in Yuansu Palace. This will be the place for a long time.

"Miss, Xiao Hei heard from the palace people that there are only two dragon bloods in this world."

It was a thing that Gu Yuena did not want to hear, but could not deny it. "I already know."

Xiao Hei continued, "Murid Queen Li Hua you met earlier, she is not the blood of a full dragon. In fact, dragon blood can only appear once in a generation."

Gu Yuena frowned, looking at Xiao Hei in confusion. "How is that possible?"

"At the death of King Ying, his dragon blood had a tremendous explosion. The rest of the explosion was taken by the queen to create another life in the palace. The goal was for Linghun Palace not to lose strength. The newborn dragon blood from the rest of the energy grew in the darkness, becoming the queen's disciple. The day the Queen left the Duke's residence was the day the Queen made him the chief disciple."

Xiao Hei's explanation was enough to shock Gu Yuena. In fact, that person was not a human, but rather a being formed from the rest of the dragon blood burst energy that made him possess the same dragon power. I don't know what Li Hua did. It seemed, Li Hua's ambition was far beyond what he expected.

If Gu Yuena were to die, would Li Hua also do the same?

She was grateful that she did not know about her pregnancy at the time. Or the consequences would be unimaginable. He must stop this madness immediately.

"Huh, again have to live in the place of another madman." Gu Yuena complained.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"Your Majesty, the scouts said that they had arrived not long ago. There was no other movement from Linghun Palace." Hei Changge reported the situation to Bai Youzhe moments after Gu Yuena's departure.

Just now that Li Hua had come carrying a bat-type monster surrounded the palace, now the woman had already brought her daughter back without any act. Not at all like the queen's brutal style.

Gu Yuena actually made Li Hua silent at this moment. It must be that the woman had planned something on Gu Yuena to keep her side. For now, Gu Yuena was indeed not siding with anyone. Don't know how in the future.

However, Bai Youzhe believed Gu Yuena would not be that easily influenced. Although Gu Yuena was at Linghun Palace, it was not necessarily the woman defending the queen. What he was worried about was what Li Hua would do to Gu Yuena.

"Remain around the palace. If anything strange, report it to me." Bai Youzhe gave the order.

"Okay, Your Majesty." Hey Changge is embracing it. But there is one thing that holds the mind. "The Underworld is currently in chaos. The demons had formed a certain group in large numbers and took over several territories. The other dragons fretted, as there were several high-level demons leading the assault."

Bai Youzhe simply looked at the outside world in silence while listening. The matter of the Underworld would not be resolved until the phoenix spirit was discovered, as well as the demon seal was secured to restrict the movements of the demons.

This was an unresolved issue for hundreds of years since the destruction of the dragon race. That was why, the Underworld was war-torn at all times.

Bai Youzhe had to remain in the Underworld for some time until the problem was resolved. Otherwise, the dragon race would be destroyed back.

"Open the portal." Bai Youzhe should head to the Underworld right now.

In the future, Gu Yuena would also definitely appear in the Underworld. He would look for the woman, not let her go again a second time.
