Dance Of The Phoenix
115. Phoenix Naughty

Under the scorching sun, Bai Youzhe sat in the gazebo of the courtyard while inspecting the magic scrolls she had obtained from the dragon sent to search for the existence of the phoenix spirit. The scroll contained travel notes in the form of magic that only certain people could open.

In the southern area of the demon mountains, traces of several phoenixes began to be seen. It seemed like some phoenix had actually sprung up. Is this a sign of something?

According to Bai Youzhe, the phoenix spirit would rise when the phoenix blood had evolved, just like when he became a dragon. This had something to do with Gu Yuena's phoenix blood so Bai Youzhe had to find it as quickly as possible.

The appearance of several phoenix races indicated that the phoenix blood would soon evolve and the phoenix spirit would rise. When the phoenix spirit rises, the demons will make an attack to seize the phoenix spirit. Gu Yuena should already be in the Underworld.

"The mountains of the devil." It seemed like Bai Youzhe had to focus on that place as the place where she guessed that phoenix spirit was residing there.

Within a short time of staying still for quite a while, Bai Youzhe's night blue iris seemed to find something. He stood up, then came out of the gazebo to see who was coming at noon today himself.

His gaze was directed at the black mane of a woman who stood not far from where she was, behind her while holding her chest. Bai Youzhe fell silent, feeling familiar with that back.

But he was afraid of the wrong people because of the different hair colors so he could only stay in place.

The woman turned around, showing her face covered in a pink veil accompanied by a pair of red irises patterned with unique phoenix eyes. Between her eyebrows, there was also a beautiful phoenix symbol, indicating her identity.

His smile was flashing, while Bai Youzhe was surprised instead of playing.

How is that strange woman here?

"We meet again." The woman greeted, then stepped over to Bai Youzhe. "What previous offers still apply?"

"No." Bai Youzhe's face turned cold and left just like that. He had to ask Chu Xin and the others how that woman was here.

The woman grabbed a little strand of Bai Youzhe's robe to keep from leaving. "Your Majesty, are you going to ignore Nana again? Nana already knew His Majesty had no wife, so Nana apologized for having spoken wrongly before."

"I have a wife." Bai Youzhe pulled her robe to remove the woman. He snorted annoyedly, then left just like that.

The veiled woman who was Gu Yuena could only laugh silently. "Obviously never married." It's great to tease a man who's afraid of a seductress.

Bai Youzhe on the other hand called Chu Xin, Bao Jun, and Hei Changge into his room for interrogation. The three humans instantly gathered in Bai Youzhe's room, then explained what had happened.

They clearly did not know that Bai Youzhe was eager to get rid of the woman. They thought Bai Youzhe was intending to recruit him to help with the search, so bring the woman with pleasure. After all, the woman was also not so annoying, it was very calm. Sometimes they think that the woman looks similar to their lady.

It was actually not bad to put Li Nana in the palace to help with the search. After all, Bai Youzhe was also in a hurry and still had to look for Gu Yuena. The matter of the phoenix spirit, could be assigned to Li Nana as part of the race.

"Your Majesty take it easy, we will watch over Li Nana well so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." Chu Xin could guarantee it.

Bai Youzhe sighed. If not for being desperate and thinking that Gu Yuena would have evolved soon, he would not have been willing to put that flirtatious woman nearby.

"I leave it to you." Bai Youzhe handed it over just like that. Let them rule the woman. As long as it doesn't bother him constantly, he won't be a problem.

"Okay, Your Majesty." All three responded, then disappeared to do the job.

The overlooked Gu Yuena out there was hanging out with another dragon that looked flirtatious towards her. It creeps for a moment.

Why would he have to face so many dragons?

Chu Xin came to specially deal with the matter of 'Li Nana' and gave her accommodation. Due to the other party's extremely sensitive identity, Chu Xin would obviously not mix it up with the dragon's residence. Gu Yuena stayed in the pavilion alone near Chu Xin's residence. The goal was for Chu Xin to easily keep an eye out.

However, it wasn't Gu Yuena's name if it was easy to keep an eye on. He carried out his usual activities without suspicion, then occasionally went to the main palace with Chu Xin to find out the situation of the ruling palace.

His existence in the palace was not to seek the benefit of accumulating more blood, but to seek the existence of a phoenix spirit. Bai Youzhe was looking for a phoenix spirit to protect after she evolved, must have gotten some clues.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

It had been two days, Bai Youzhe had not discovered any particular small phoenix movement. Other than waving hands each time they met, there was nothing suspicious about it. Even Chu Xin said that the phoenix was really very calm.

Bai Youzhe hesitated as she felt that there were many things that the woman was hiding. Plus, the woman really messed it up. Not only could not be angry at him, even just to reprimand him alone was like facing a calamity. Hypnosis what women use!

He had examined himself and released the strange magic inherent in his spiritual power. It must be hypnotic, but it's so hard to resist. In fact, he who was the strongest dragon in the Underworld, still had to be bothered by a small phoenix who looked more like that demon. Where should he put his face?

Bai Youzhe opened her eyes with a long breath in order to be patient at all times. Ah, even though he wanted to act and teach the little phoenix a lesson so as not to bother him anymore, it felt like something was pulling him back. In the end, he could only avoid that dangerous woman.

"Your Majesty." Hey Changge appeared, kneeling before him to report something.

Bai Youzhe glanced at him at a glance, "Say."

"When checking Li Nana's background, it was discovered that her popularity in the Flower Pavilion was huge despite only joining for a few months. Since then, there have been many cases of missing persons in the city, in particular the men listed as regular customers in the Flower Pavilion. There were rumors that said that Li Nana was the cause of the disappearance of some of these people after ordering it."

These people disappeared after 'paying' the little phoenix. Did that woman do anything?

Based on what he experienced, the woman simply hypnotized him and did nothing. Was it because the woman felt that her hypnosis had failed so she had to confine her true intentions?

"Li Nana is suspicious. If it's true she's the one who made people disappear without a trace ...."

"Who disappeared without a trace?" The person who was being talked about suddenly appeared, walking just like that from the direction of the door approaching the two of them. When it arrived in front of Bai Youzhe, the woman saluted politely.

Hey Changge doesn't talk anymore. He looked at the woman with a complicated look, before leaving. I don't know where Chu Xin went until he let Li Nana roam around on her own.

After Hei Changge left, Gu Yuena's calm face turned into a bright smile looking towards Bai Youzhe. Bai Youzhe still did not recognize him, she was so happy to disturb the man to the point of being annoyed.

It's time for revenge, isn't it? Bai Youzhe used to piss him off to death. Now, things just turn around.

"Is Your Majesty talking about me?" ask Gu Yuena.

Bai Youzhe caught a glimpse of it, then returned to her seat without saying anything. The ignored Gu Yuena could only put on a face as thick as possible.

"Some time ago, His Majesty said he already had a wife. Why don't I see it?" Gu Yuena pretended not to know while looking at the empty surroundings.

"What are you doing here?" Bai Youzhe avoided the topic. It's not that open to strangers.

"Several days of not meeting and talking to Her Majesty, is Nana not allowed to visit just to see?"

"It's not a place you can go to all the time. If there's nothing important, go back to your place." Bai Youzhe spoke in a cold and indifferent tone. What did not meet. Every day the woman waved at him from afar.

Gu Yuena insisted on staying here, but no one Chu Xin kept clinging to her. "Your Majesty, I heard that you are from the Mitian Plain. What's the place like?" Gu Yuena knew her question would not be answered, so continued her chatter. "Some time ago I heard there were many humans from the Mitian Plains coming, but they just disappeared. Simultaneously, some customers of the Flower Pavilion also disappeared. Nana thought, they are humans from the Mitian Plains who stopped by and left for a certain purpose. Your Majesty is from there, do you know anything?"

Those people, didn't they disappear after meeting Li Nana? Bai Youzhe again thought, whether or not Li Nana was involved in the case. Other than the Assassin Guild and Linghun Palace, no one had access to the Underworld.

If it wasn't for Li Nana making those people disappear, then those people should have been part of Linghun Palace that came with Gu Yuena. Disappearing just like that, was the custom of the Linghun Palace people. No wonder they disappeared so suddenly. It's just, there's too many coincidences.

Actually, what was Li Nana trying to talk about?

Li Nana continued, "Well, I don't need to know either, anyway. Since His Majesty has brought me here, then I have no relation with the Flower Pavilion. Merely, some people accused me of being a no-no just because of a rumor and my phoenix identity. Phoenix doesn't need humans to cultivate, there's no point in me causing trouble."

"So you came for this?" Bai Youzhe thought Li Nana was clarifying that the case had nothing to do with her in order to escape suspicion.

Gu Yuena smiled behind her veil. That's absolutely true. Gu Yuena's plan could be disrupted just because of such rumors—though in reality the rumors were not entirely false. It's okay to skew the facts a little. After all, he wasn't completely lying.

"Your Majesty, you have no reason to get rid of me. I'm very useful."

"Why should I think of you like that?" Bai Youzhe tried to test it.

Gu Yuena filed for cooperation. He knew Bai Youzhe's intention to search for the phoenix spirit, so that the demons would not destroy the phoenix spirit and make it easier for him to do spirit unification to become a real phoenix. If he could present with another identity and steal it, he would not need to reveal his identity and make Linghun Palace difficult for him.

In essence, Bai Youzhe must not recognize him before the phoenix spirit is resurrected. Linghun Palace watched from afar, he had to keep his distance with Bai Youzhe.

While Bai Youzhe herself thought for a moment whether to entrust the task to Li Nana or not. He admitted, Li Nana's ability is very good, he can't even detect it. It's so good that he has to be vigilant. However, if a person like this was really on his side, it would be profitable. Conversely, if Li Nana had any other intentions, it was a dangerous thing.

Bai Youzhe could only bet.

"The mountains of the devil." Bai Youzhe informed her location. "That's still an estimate. I'll go there soon."

Gu Yuena smiled brightly. Plan succeeded. "Has Your Majesty started to trust Nana?"

"If you act, I'll kill you right away." Bai Youzhe gave a warning.

Gu Yuena still looked calm. "Then, does that mean Nana will often meet Her Majesty?"

Bai Youzhe was silent. Why is that woman starting to suck again!

"Your Majesty still hasn't answered Nana's question. If Your Majesty is married, then why didn't Nana see His Majesty's partner?"

"Do I have to answer?"

"After all, Nana will stay very long by His Majesty's side." Gu Yuena put on her best smile until her eyes narrowed. It was so nice to make that guy clumsy.

"He's gone for now. So I advise you not to come near if you don't want to be a grilled phoenix." With a flat expression, Bai Youzhe said without a burden.

Gu Yuena almost laughed out loud. It was fortunate that he was able to maintain his calm demeanor with the best smile even though in his heart was eager to roll around.

Was he so fierce and jealous that he had to burn himself? This guy really ....

"It seems, Your Majesty's partner is very sensitive." Gu Yuena responded with a puckishness. In Bai Youzhe's eyes, it turned out that he was extremely fierce. "If Nana met him, it would be very exciting if she could have a good relationship."

Bai Youzhe looked lost in thought. He was upset again, looking lonely. However, it could only be seen by Gu Yuena. Others might see him in a bad mood with a cold face that was like it was going to blow up a city.

Gu Yuena walked over, then stood right in front of the table. He lowered his head, pressed down on the table below using both hands and pointed his face closer towards Bai Youzhe. It was as if he was looking at something between Bai Youzhe's face meticulously.

"Your silence is wrinkled."

How not to wrinkle? Another woman approached him without knowing such daring manners!

When Gu Yuena was about to grab Bai Youzhe's forehead, the man immediately restrained his arm. "I have to say it how many times?"

Gu Yuena slightly smiled, looking at the beautiful looking blue iris now being cute in her eyes. Bai Youzhe was very cute when it became clumsy. He's like an innocent boy.

"I just want to justify the frown on your forehead. Someone has to keep up his appearance. If you frown a lot, then you'll age fast."

Bai Youzhe was obviously not going to age. For hundreds of years he lived in the Underworld. The woman was just looking for a pretext to bother him again.

"Go." Bai Youzhe chased away indifferently.

"Your Majesty is sure to ask me to leave?" Gu Yuena stood up straight, walking around the table until finally stopping by Bai Youzhe's side.

"What do you really want?" ask Bai Youzhe.

"Nana was just bored," Gu Yuena replied, then leaned on the edge of the table right in front of Bai Youzhe while holding her chest. Her red iris was attached in Bai Youzhe's eyes for a while.

Make sure the hypnotist is working.

Bai Youzhe's gaze was fixated on the red iris with such a unique pattern for some time as if interested in something. However, his consciousness was stronger so he quickly caught on to something strange.

This time, he would not be caught twice. The hypnotic magic that was being amplified gave Bai Youzhe spiritual power to release the hypnotist as soon as possible.

Gu Yuena was not aware, that Bai Youzhe's spiritual power had blocked the hypnotic path in her mind to come to her senses faster. In an instant, the hypnotist that made Gu Yuena's likeness unrecognizable disappeared just like that.

Bai Youzhe could now see clearly. Her brain was no longer inhibited to think about who exactly the woman in front of her was. Although the woman's hair was black, she clearly remembered the veiled facial features she was familiar with.

There were quite a number of changes due to the evolution of the phoenix, but it did not rule out the possibility that Bai Youzhe would not recognize it. The face behind the veil .. was Gu Yuena!

Bai Youzhe suddenly stood up and grabbed the woman's arm to get closer to her. Gu Yuena was surprised, but did not say anything. He could see a surprise at Bai Youzhe's gaze.

Am I recognized?

Hypnosis ....

Gu Yuena hurriedly used magic on her eyes to strengthen their hypnotic position quite close. The closer, the better it would be for his magic to affect Bai Youzhe.

After being certain the hypnotist had been functioning again, marked by Bai Youzhe's blue iris that had at first glance turned red, Gu Yuena finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was his fault for being too careless, to let Bai Youzhe block his hypnosis.

"Your Majesty?" Gu Yuena reprimanded, as if nothing had happened. He also smiled. "It turns out that Your Majesty can really surprise me."

Bai Youzhe squinted. He looked towards his hand that was tightly grasping Gu Yuena's arm, then took it off while giving some distance. Seeing Bai Youzhe's calm demeanor return, Gu Yuena was sure her hypnotism was already working. He breathed a silent sigh.

"It looks like His Majesty is in a bad state. Nana will ask Hei Changge outside to take care of His Majesty." Gu Yuena turned around about to leave. However, he paused and turned his head around saying, "But if Your Majesty is pleased, Nana can take care of Your Majesty with pleasure." Gu Yuena was obviously just joking. Bai Youzhe should have been distracted and become as clumsy as before after this.

However, something beyond belief happened.

"Well, it's been troubling you" replied the man. Looks very calm.

Gu Yuena was silent. Ah, he was just joking, how could the man be willing to be cared for by a foreign woman like her! The difference in his attitude was so great that it left Gu Yuena confused herself.

Gu Yuena laughed awkwardly. How'this? How to deny it?

"Your Majesty, what if someone makes me a grilled phoenix? Is Your Majesty going to protect Nana?" Gu Yuena tried to slowly deny.

"That being a burn phoenix is you, not me."

"...."

Now Gu Yuena was upset. It seemed like Bai Youzhe's annoying nature was really ingrained. Did his hypnosis make Bai Youzhe come back like she was a few years ago? It can be high blood!

"Then, Nana will call Hei Changge. It seems like Your Majesty is feeling uneasy, Nana will not bother." Gu Yuena hurriedly left like a person who had seen a strange person. No, Bai Youzhe is really a freak.

Hypnosis cannot fail. It must have been what caused Bai Youzhe's brain to be troubled from having to do the magic rejection before. Forced hypnosis has a variety of effects. He hoped that Bai Youzhe's brain would not be damaged because of that.

Whereas on the other hand, Bai Youzhe only saw Gu Yuena's departure with the same look as before. He was so calm, before finally pulling the corner of his lips.

"Yes, I'll protect you."

The hypnotic magic inherent in his eyes disappeared just like that after being hampered by the spiritual power he possessed. It is no longer misled by a particular phoenix hypnotist.

If Gu Yuena found out, she would probably panic half to death.
