Gu Yuena's residence was deserted because Chu Xin was performing daily tasks elsewhere. The woman entered the room alone, before finally the bored Xiao Hei in the spiritual room appeared and was idling on the bed.
"The mood of your heart is not good" Xiao Hei said.
Gu Yuena sat on the chair, then took off her veil which made her breath stuffy. His face looked lazy and sighed a few times.
"Nearly did I make a mistake" muttered Gu Yuena. That was so bad. Bai Youzhe barely recognized him, so Gu Yuena panicked to death.
"It looks like he's been looking for you for a long time. Unfortunately, Miss dodged."
"What can I do? I mustn't lose the Queen's trust, nor do I want to hurt her." Gu Yuena leaned back, looking very resigned.
He had to go to the demon mountains as soon as possible to avoid Bai Youzhe. With Bai Youzhe's strength, his hypnotism couldn't last long. He had to strengthen the hypnosis earlier, but instead an accident occurred.
Xiao Hei himself sighed. The next second, his red iris looked the other way with a surprised look. He went straight to Gu Yuena's lap so quickly.
Gu Yuena realized someone had come to her. He stood up, carrying Xiao Hei in his arms. Without turning to the man, he said, "Is there any business?"
"You're in dragon territory, it's a good opportunity to collect 1,000 blood so you can come back faster" he said. Using dragons as part of the formation would increase the success rate compared to using humans. The amount used will also not be as much as the number of humans needed.
"I want to linger," Gu Yuena replied, turning towards the man. The masked man who had been rarely seen lately was now in front of him. "What I want to do, it has nothing to do with you. You better take care of your own business than give me unnecessary advice."
Yang Xinyuan was silent for a while. He had noticed Gu Yuena's movements from the beginning, including her interaction with Bai Youzhe. He's not happy.
In addition, a small snake slipped from between the doors and watched from the darkness. Her blue iris cooled down when she saw another man present in Gu Yuena's room.
Yang Xinyuan who could not hide her dislike said, "It is better that the Princess is not here for a long time. If your identity is known to someone, all plans will be disrupted."
"I know." Gu Yuena was troubled. "It's good if you're not here too long either. If someone notices your presence, I'll get caught."
"You didn't think to show your presence in front of him, did you?"
Gu Yuena looked at him sharply. "Why do I think that?"
"If the man recognized you, would you kill him?" Yang Xinyuan was making sure, that Gu Yuena did not stray from the main objective. That person in question was Bai Youzhe. It was only the man he had been wary of all this time.
Gu Yuena snorted. "Let me kill or use him, I have my own way, you have no right to interfere. Don't think that the Queen asked you to watch me, then you can control me at will. Tell him I won't disappoint, at least until the sacrifice is made."
Yang Xinyuan's cold gaze did not change. Eventually, he gave up and decided to leave. "I hope you hold your word."
Gu Yuena turned the eyeballs. His mood was so bad that his hands were itching to spill blood. If there was no Xiao Hei in his arms.
Xiao Hei himself had already trembled feeling the atmosphere was not wearing between these two people.
Yang Xinyuan finally left, not wanting to continue making Gu Yuena angry and explode. Gu Yuena hated him so much. Reducing your presence is the best step.
After the black figure left, the cold and tense atmosphere disappeared instantly. Gu Yuena's cold gaze turned, into a relief.
"If I could kill him," muttered Gu Yuena. He had to remain calm at all times and suppress the emotions in his heart. Do not let someone know his identity, it will be very troublesome.
"Miss, are you going to kill Bai Youzhe if she finds out about your identity?"
Gu Yuena smiled wryly. "Before that happens, maybe I'm done." His current strength was still no match for Bai Youzhe nor Yang Xinyuan. That's why he can only be a cat that hides his paws.
"But he won't be able to kill you." Xiao Hei thought Bai Youzhe would not be able to kill Gu Yuena despite wanting to. The proof, even though the man did not recognize Gu Yuena, the man still could not hurt Gu Yuena even though the actions of certain women were very shameless.
Gu Yuena sat on the bed, rubbing the extremely soft Xiao Hei fur comfortably. "If I really wanted to use the dragons as part of the 1000 blood sacrifice, I would definitely take advantage of Bai Youzhe."
"Do you agree with the Hall Leader's suggestion?" Xiao Hei was surprised.
Gu Yuena was just silent, propping her chin up daydreaming. "Of course." He also breathed again. "For now, just focus on the phoenix spirit. I don't plan on completing the mission of collecting 1000 bloods right now. Let the phoenix itself do it."
Xiao Hei did not understand what Gu Yuena was saying. But it seemed like Xiao Bai inside there knew something. Only, he remained silent, preparing for what would happen in the future.
As Gu Yuena said, he had to come up with a solution based on what would happen soon.
In addition, the little snake inside the darkness that had been watching since just now left with a plan in its head.
So his phoenix is planning something big so no one should recognize it. He had to follow the groove the woman had made for now.
There were not many things Gu Yuena could do all day. He should not meet Bai Youzhe for now, as it was most likely that the man was going against the hypnotic effects. It was extremely dangerous for Bai Youzhe to recognize him.
Gu Yuena calmed down and tried to think positively at all times. He carried out his usual activities without arousing suspicion, while Xiao Hei was sent to wander around the palace to keep an eye on the situation. As a demon monster, there would be no one who would be astonished at its appearance.
When night fell, Xiao Hei returned to Gu Yuena's arms and fell asleep tired. Gu Yuena also had no other activities so decided to end the day. Xiao Bai also sneaked among them, intending to indulge and ridicule Xiao Hei, saying that her Miss only belonged to Xiao Bai. Xiao Hei almost made vomit blood.
The night was closed by debate and complaints of two bad cats to sleep. Gu Yuena did not interfere with their debate, choosing to take a tranquilizing pill and sleep.
Lately, he had trouble sleeping until he had to take a tranquilizer pill. His strength would reach level 9 in the near future, which made his body continuously request for activity and continue to cultivate energy nonstop. This caused Gu Yuena's body to be exhausted. With the tranquilizing pill, his body would rest for a moment and be able to sleep soundly without dreaming. It was like a fainted person.
On this silent night, there was no sign of anyone else around the palace other than the guards standing guard at night. Pavilion Gu Yuena became quiet, but a black fog flashed along with a quick blown wind. The figure stopped in front of Gu Yuena's room door, looking at the beautiful woman who was fast asleep on the bed with two tiny cats.
Hypnosis no longer closed its eyes to Gu Yuena. Bai Youzhe did not know so clearly about the reason Gu Yuena was hiding from him, but she would follow the plot that Gu Yuena had made painstakingly by pretending not to know him. However, for now, he wanted to meet Gu Yuena.
Approaching the woman who was still very slumbering from the tranquilizing pill, Bai Youzhe sat by her side and looked at the face that was greatly missed.
"Over these years, I don't know how much you've been through." Bai Youzhe could not accompany Gu Yuena, it was her regret. He would not let go of Gu Yuena just like that.
He rubbed Gu Yuena's head gently, then kissed her forehead. He looked nothing like the usually cold-faced Bai Youzhe in front of the people. It's much warmer. If the dragons saw him, they would definitely be very surprised.
His presence seemed to wake someone up. Xiao Bai blinked his eyes, then looked at the presence of a certain man with a blank look.
He woke up at the wrong time.
Suddenly his back cooled. The cat nearly toppled over and shouted if it did not remember that its head was at stake.
Bai Youzhe placed her index finger on the lips, making sure the cat would not say her arrival to Gu Yuena. He still had to pretend not to recognize Gu Yuena after this.
Xiao Bai gave a small nod, then hid inside the blanket. Ah, it was a shit day. Knowing so, he would be nonchalant and no matter who came suddenly. If it had been like this, he swore not to talk about Bai Youzhe during the plan!
Xiao Bai who was feeling unlucky, could do nothing but wake up under the covers all night.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
In the morning, Gu Yuena woke up from a deep sleep without a dream. He was somewhat surprised to see Xiao Bai whose eyes were reddened from not blinking all night. Xiao Hei laughed at him the entire time.
Ignoring the strangeness of the white cat, Gu Yuena went to accept the task and directly traveled to the Demon Mountains.
Receiving the map of the Underworld from Bao Jun, he browsed the map on the table while thinking of the fastest route to go to the Demonic Mountains.
The Demon Mountains were a place untouched by neither humans nor dragons. It was the demon territory, with a strong demonic aura as well as demonic monsters abounding. It was suitable for the cultivation of Gu Yuena who needed a demon monster.
Ever since the last absorption in Linghun Palace, Gu Yuena experienced the first evolution as a phoenix. Accepting the development of his soul as well as experiencing a nirvana process long enough to become a real phoenix. However, the process was imperfect due to the lack of a phoenix spirit.
Currently, Gu Yuena was only half a phoenix. That's why it has a phoenix mark between its eyebrows as well as a slightly changed iris pattern. He took the opportunity to disguise himself. Just needing to change her hair color and put on a veil, she had already changed completely into a dancer Li Nana.
Back on the topic of the Demonic Mountains, there were several demon villages inside there. Demons are followers of the devil. Their level was only slightly lower than that of a demon and cultivating to become a demon.
To settle in the Demon Mountains, Gu Yuena would disguise herself as a demon in one of the villages. Usually the demons would send out demons to hunt phoenix spirits to interfere before the demon army finally came. That was what Bao Jun said when explaining about the demon race to him.
That's a big opportunity.
With Gu Yuena's demonic aura, it's no big deal if you want to infiltrate inside.
"When can I leave?" gu Yuena asked Bao Jun in front of her.
"The location of the phoenix spirit is still not directly certain. You can go to one of the villages for information. Our people are having a hard time getting information in those villages."
Gu Yuena had no problem with this. He nodded in understanding, then rolled up the map and kept it. "I'll go today."
"Today?" Bao Jun was somewhat surprised.
Gu Yuena nodded confidently. "The sooner the better." Moreover, Gu Yuena felt that she was going to break through in a moment. He doesn't have much time to relax.
If Gu Yuena did not use the demon monsters as cultivation, he would not break through this fast. The situation is a bit precarious.
"All right." Bao Jun confirmed. "There's no need to force it if it can't handle the demons. Call us to use this if you need help." Bao Jun gave an alumunimum whistle that was connected to the Assassin Guild members. Since certain misses did not have special transmission abilities like them, so could only rely on tools.
Gu Yuena accepted it easily. His gaze was directed at Bai Youzhe who was watching from another part of the palace, quite far away. The man's face—though handsome—still like a wall.
To deepen the role, Gu Yuena showed a wide smile until her eyes narrowed and waved. Bao Jun looked at Gu Yuena with a puzzled look for a moment, then looked towards Gu Yuena's gaze where Bai Youzhe had just left.
"It's so cute." Gu Yuena pouted, whereas the nearby Bao Jun could only sigh in resignation.
I don't know what His Majesty thought to give this phoenix a rare map of the Underworld. In the world, there are only 3 maps that contain details about a complete region. Bao Jun was still thinking what a certain king planned and what to do to the phoenix nearby.
"Is there anything else to do before you leave?" ask Gu Yuena.
Bao Jun regained his senses from the daydream, then replied, "Your Majesty said, if Miss Li wants to go do the job, then leave."
Gu Yuena felt something strange. "Is it just me?"
Actually Bai Youzhe was going to leave as well, but the man forbade Bao Jun from telling anyone. So he just nodded slowly.
"Miss Li take it easy. We will leave when His Majesty gives the order, or when the phoenix spirit shows progress."
Gu Yuena chuckled. "You guys trust me so much, aren't you afraid that I'll bring a phoenix spirit run?"
"As a phoenix race, Miss won't do it. The phoenix spirit is so holy to you, it won't dare touch it." Bao Jun gave an indirect warning.
Gu Yuena nodded in understanding it. "Not wrong." But that was if he was really a phoenix race. He was the owner of the phoenix blood, had to take the phoenix spirit and used it to perfect the phoenix nirvana. He had to find the phoenix spirit faster than Bai Youzhe.
