Bai Youzhe always felt that there were many things stuck in this place. He followed the waiter away and entered a room. He said to stay a while.
He paid the woman to ascertain the truth of whether she was really a phoenix or a demon in disguise. If he was a phoenix, Bai Youzhe thought they could work together to look for the existence of a phoenix spirit and the woman would not need to do such a job anymore. Due to having a decent ability, he was able to put that woman in his army with Chu Xin.
But if it turns out that woman is a demon, she will kill him immediately.
That was what Bai Youzhe was planning at the moment. As to whether he was hypnotized or not, it will be answered after confirming it later. A small hypnosis won't affect him too much.
After the servant left and he was alone in the room, accompanied by the wine provided on the table, he opened his perception to search for any suspicious traces around the pavilion. Do not let any enemies come and do a commotion in the middle of the crowd.
While tracing through each section of the pavilion, the door of the room was opened by someone who entered without knocking on the door. It was the veiled woman in her pink dress who was made to dance earlier. She still looks so beautiful.
Bai Youzhe opened her eyes. Whether she found something or not, her face remained flat until she finally turned to the veiled woman at the door. The longer you pay attention, the more familiar it looks. But he's hard to remember.
"Unexpectedly, you will call me this way. I thought you hated me." The woman smiled behind her veil as she walked through the room. He looked at the room well, then turned off the candles with his little finger as if the fire had not burned them.
"How can you declare yourself a phoenix?" Bai Youzhe got straight to the point without wanting much ado.
"Simple, because I need a place to stay. Aren't you dragons really fond of phoenix?" The woman walked up to Bai Youzhe, then sat down in front of her. "Are you so curious about my origins?"
"There's a lot of blood around you, of course I'm curious." Bai Youzhe said lightly.
The woman's voice changed, looking somewhat surprised, then smiled back. "Master himself also had a thick scent of blood, definitely troublesome when it came to being on the battlefield. Lately the devil is wandering around, maybe the aroma is still not quite well disguised by the fragrance."
"You're hunting demons?"
The woman laughed. "I can do it" he said. "Some time ago the demons attacked, I had to protect myself to maintain the existence of the race. It seems, Master is a bit sensitive to this. But take it easy, Nana's not dangerous at all."
Bai Youzhe frowned, looking at the woman strangely. "Sin'ana?" Suddenly he thought of something.
"My name is Nana, my margaku Li. You can call me informally, Nana."
If the woman's hair was not black, Bai Youzhe would definitely think that she was Gu Yuena. Ah, he's been getting crazy lately.
"Did you remember something?" ask Li Nana. His look was plain and full of curiosity.
Bai Youzhe was uncomfortable. He stood up and looked at the woman seriously. His cold gaze frightened the woman, but Bai Youzhe did not care.
He had checked that there was a hint of demonic aura on the woman. However, his phoenix aura was more dominant which indicated that he was truly a phoenix. Most likely, that woman was a type of demonic phoenix. Again a rare kind.
Only, there were many blood scents of various kinds of creatures from the woman who claimed to be Li Nana. He felt that woman was unusual. There was something so powerful and made his head ache when he rejected it.
There was no way an ordinary phoenix would affect him like this.
"I gave you a choice, stay here or help me find a phoenix spirit. It's all in your hands." Bai Youzhe said without looking at him. The woman's gaze was very dangerous.
Li Nana moved up, approached Bai Youzhe and sensually touched her shoulder. He whispered in his ear from behind. "Do you intend to take me to your house? Not afraid, the wife at home is angry?"
"Who wants to take you?" Bai Youzhe replied in a cold tone.
The woman chuckled. "It turns out, sir is not interested in this little phoenix." Li Nana walked before Bai Youzhe, barely wiping the distance between them.
Bai Youzhe turned her eyeballs and took another direction to stand up, avoiding Li Nana. However, Li Nana insisted in front of him and wrapped her arms around Bai Youzhe's shoulder bravely.
"Please!" Bai Youzhe nearly threw her down, yet something made her hold back. He could not attack the woman to get away from her.
Li Nana on the other hand just put on an innocent smile without even letting go of her embrace. "You seem to understand. Have you ever done it with anyone else?" Li Nana chuckled. "Ah, that's right. Everyone who comes here should be."
"I've been very patient in letting you go." Bai Youzhe thought the woman in front of him was really shameless. He shouldn't have filed for cooperation or anything. I don't know what happened to his brain.
"Then, I won't let go of my client just like that either." His response went too lightly, as if the one before him was just an ordinary person.
Bai Youzhe grabbed onto Li Nana's arm, then put her away with a vexed feeling. Li Nana put on a pouting face.
"Do you like to waste money? Just give it all to me, I'm good at spending it." Li Nana exhaled after seeing Bai Youzhe's indifference.
Bai Youzhe looked at him coldly. He looked very upset, but could not do anything until he finally chose to leave. He wanted to kill the woman, but why did it feel so heavy?
Recalling something, he returned before Li Nana who was sitting quietly looking at him. He said, "You hypnotizing me?"
Li Nana tilted her head. "Why am I hypnotizing you? Didn't you leave in the end?"
Also true. Bai Youzhe felt deadlocked because of a little phoenix that messed it up tonight. He went to put on a thick face as if nothing had happened.
Li Nana who saw him grieved bitterly. After being certain that the man's whereabouts had gone far enough, his laughter broke out right then and there. But he didn't laugh too long. He calmed down as if nothing had happened as he left.
"Miss, that person is still thick-faced. If he knew that what he was facing was you, he would definitely not hold it back. At least, he won't run away from you!" A childish voice from within the spiritual space sounded in his ears.
The woman entered her own room, then removed the veil. His black hair turned a dark red color while dropping his butt on the bed to relax for a moment.
Who would have thought, the little phoenix who often showed dance in the brothel was Gu Yuena from Linghun Palace, the most wanted owner of phoenix blood. Using his mother's surname and small name, he managed to fool many people including the ruler of the underworld.
"Huh, he's still the same," he murmured, then chuckled. "Not bad. I think, after 20 years of separation, he won't remember me and look for another phoenix."
"Ah, so Miss purposely hypnotized him into not recognizing you?" Xiao Bai guessed.
Gu Yuena smiled wryly. "That was unintentional. Who knew he would come all of a sudden, making me panic and hypnotize him the moment he came. He was a little hypnotic lured, but his mentality was so strong that my hypnotism just made him not recognize me."
"Then, why don't you just take off the hypnosis?" asked Xiao Bai.
"Let's just like that." Gu Yuena sighed. "For now, my existence is very sensitive. I have also not found a phoenix spirit and have not become a true phoenix yet. Bai Youzhe sensed the demonic aura and phoenix from me just now, definitely being wary of me. That's why, he was thinking of recruiting me to be part of his army to keep a closer eye."
"Twenty years of Underworld time and one year of time on the Mitian Plains. I've only been here for a few months in the Underworld, not including the 20-year wait." Gu Yuena said indifferently, then her face became moody. "Unfortunately, I still have to buy a little longer. Bai Youzhe can't find me."
If the people of Linghun Palace did not love him, he would not have used this way. Li Hua was very cautious and afraid that Gu Yuena would return to Bai Youzhe's side, so planned to limit Gu Yuena's movements in the Underworld.
"Then, are you still going to live in this brothel?" ask Xiao Hei.
"Isn't it bad? I got free food and natural stone, you know."
"But the King won't like it when he finds out." Xiao Bai was feeling depressed. He could feel Bai Youzhe's dislike earlier. It even suggested 'Li Nana' to get away from this place.
"He doesn't like it, what does it have to do with me? Most importantly, I am here not sleeping with another man," Gu Yuena replied in a resentful tone. "It's not like someone goes into a brothel just to make sure of something. What if people are caught?"
"Miss, you know best that the King won't set a small trap." Xiao Bai chuckled.
Gu Yuena scoffed. "Who knows he's going to take drugs by accident and fuck another woman."
"Miss, you almost fucked another guy too, you know." Xiao Bai sneered.
"I killed him, you know!" Gu Yuena was bluffing a little. It sucks that two fussy cats.
In these few months, Gu Yuena had the task of collecting 1000 blood as well as searching for the phoenix spirit for herself. By attracting the attention of the men in the brothel, he was able to kill and then absorb his soul into the spirit bones that had been prepared to collect 1000 blood. In addition, brothels are the most complete and broadest means of information. He could find out phoenix spirit information through it.
If you think about it, Gu Yuena had killed many people all along. If it continues like this, rumors will spread and it would not be good for him to stay here. He has to find another target.
"It seems like the Underworld Ruler's Palace isn't bad." Gu Yuena smiled obliquely.
Let him be the antagonist for now.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Bai Youzhe returned to the palace and got a welcome from her three servants who had since just watched from a distance. No one dared to comment, as they themselves had no idea what was happening in the brothel.
They only knew that the king had gone to the brothel because he had heard of the phoenix. However, their king instead came out shortly afterwards in a bad mood. Did someone in there dare offend the King? But since when is the King easily offended?
Looking at Bai Youzhe's back as if saying that the three of them should not disturb her or will die, they could only be silent like chicks following their mother. Until finally Bai Youzhe suddenly stopped, they stopped suddenly until they almost fell.
Bai Youzhe said, "Check the background of the phoenix lady that was in the Flower Pavilion."
"Okay, Your Majesty!" The three of them took it seriously. This woman was very brave to disturb their king. For a lifetime, only one person had that courage to the point of giving their king a headache.
However, how could their king deal with women again?
Not wanting to interfere further, the three of them chose to go looking for information about the woman.
The three set out together to the Flower Pavilion to search for the existence of the only phoenix race that had just met their king. Until it finally arrived at the pavilion, when Bao Jun and Hei Changge were about to enter disguised as guests, a pink figure with a veil covering part of his face stood in front welcoming them with a smile.
Chu Xin inside the darkness narrowed her eyes. The woman was the phoenix they were investigating, suddenly already in front of them before knowing something. Is that so coincidental?
Just strange. Chu Xin was unable to hear what the three of them were talking about. This was unusual because his hearing was very good and had a radius far enough away.
Feeling that it was not right, Chu Xin directly came out of the darkness and disguised as a man to go to the Flower Pavilion. The three people were still talking on the spot, whereas Chu Xin walked over as if being a curious guest.
Seeing how strange the atmosphere was, Chu Xin cleared his throat. However, instead of pretending to be unfamiliar, Bao Jun instead looked at him and pulled him into another corner to talk.
"Hey!" Chu Xin brushed it off.
"Listen well. It's so bad!" Bao Jun looked so serious that it made Chu Xin frown.
"Say it clearly!"
"The woman was named Li Nana. His Majesty paid him to serve him. However, a little unexpected happened."
"Whatchu mean? Your Majesty paid the lady?" Chu Xin obviously did not believe it. A lifetime, if he did not hear the king's confession straight away, he would not believe it!
"Listen to me first." Bao Jun was feeling depressed. "Your Majesty intends to recruit him because of his identity as a phoenix. Since he didn't know who His Majesty was, he made a mistake that made His Majesty angry."
"That's his fault, why make you so noisy?"
"I think this Miss Li is unusual. He knows that we are His Majesty's subordinates. Despite not knowing that His Majesty is the Underworld Ruler, it still feels strange."
"Quick interrogation!"
"He won't say anything if he doesn't meet His Majesty. The thing is he's a phoenix, it's hard if we're the only ones handling it." There is an unwritten rule that the position of the phoenix is very important in the Underworld, it should not be treated carelessly. Although the three of them were humans who possessed the dragon ability of Bai Youzhe and were subordinates of the king directly, it was still not allowed to break the rule.
Chu Xin looked at the veiled woman thoughtfully. Women like this are very dangerous, should not be in the palace. However, His Majesty himself ordered them to watch over him. If they could get the woman to be in the palace, they would easily keep an eye on her.
"We're taking it to the palace." Chu Xin finally made up her mind. He should also know how Miss Li was to know their position.
Bao Jun immediately discussed with Hei Changge whether or not to bring Miss Li to the palace. After all, he was one of the phoenix race and had an important role in the search for phoenix spirits. His Majesty is also watching him.
After some consideration, they finally agreed to bring Miss Li to the palace. On the other hand, the Miss Li in question only pulled her eyebrows when she heard that she would be 'caught' by those cute humans.
Instead of refusing, he smiled and followed with all his heart. Do not forget to ask for living allowance while in the palace. Counting as a business.
"Unexpectedly, they would be very easy to talk to." Gu Yuena behind the veil slightly laughed as she followed the three of them behind.
His plan went so smoothly that it made him fidget himself. It's too smooth.
