Dance Of The Phoenix
125. The Phoenix Who Slept

Horrible screams echoed in the air carried away by the wind. The screams coming from the souls gathered in the air and formed a black energy centered on an object that emitted a red radiance.

The waves were crashing very hard, along with the black sea water that looked gloomy and terrible. At the edge of the restless sea, blood was drenched with souls howling in the sky.

The air that previously had the scent of the sea changed with the scent of blood, inviting many wandering monsters, especially sea monsters. When the monsters saw what was really happening, they all shrieked and fled. Especially after some sea monsters that previously attacked, now become incomplete corpses and torn souls.

The souls and blood in the sky shrank, absorbed into the pitch-black thing in the hand of a woman. Her dark red hair was carried away by the wind of the ocean waves, revealing an incomparable beautiful face. However, there was a hint of contrasting red stain spot on that snow-white face.

His red iris looked at the thing with satisfaction. The red color in both eyes is different than usual. It should have a beautiful blood-red eye color, but now it has a black gradation that makes it look darker and more patterned.

The sword in her right hand dripped fresh blood, while her beautiful black dress disguised splashed blood stains. He raised his sword to clearly see the blood flowing there.

His gaze looked happy and filled with satisfaction. However, the satisfaction is only temporary. He wants more blood.

"What a pity," she sneered. This place—other than his people—no more alive. All of them had become the devil's bone food. It also absorbed the souls of the stronger demon monsters earlier to the point of causing many small monsters to flee in despair.

There's a giant octopus corpse on the shore. However, it is no longer shaped. In addition to losing the tentacles, his body was also covered in incision wounds to the point of removing its contents which kept blood flowing from there.

When it smeared the sword with blood, there was an overwhelming feeling in his heart. Like the feeling of getting something special and memorable. His heart was pounding until it created a thick feeling of opium and wanted to continue doing so again.

He was never this happy when he killed. There might have been times when he felt a momentary euphoria when killing in the past, but it had been a very long time. The feeling was pleasant.

(is the feeling of happiness/happy/excessive and unnatural/extreme compared to the feeling of pleasure in general.)

The figure of a woman lowered her wings from the air. He landed on his knees near the woman.

"Your Majesty, it's time for us to return." The woman said in a deep tone.

Gu Yuena took a quick look at it, then snorted in disappointment. "Good." His red iris looked at the other side of the mountain range. One corner of his lips lifted. "It looks like I really need to go so that someone can clean this place up."

Some of the envoys of the ruling Palace hiding in the distance shuddered when they heard him. It was true that they were waiting for the woman and her group to leave before clearing this place full of corpses on the order of the king.

Gu Yuena left with that subordinate. His form became a striking red light in the dark sky, streaking at high speed. The few gathered phoenixes also left, leaving this place empty for a moment.

In the distance to the west where the barren biome began to be felt, an illusionary barrier was seen as Gu Yuena darted into it with another phoenix. Without having to use the key, the place opened up for him just like that, letting the woman in unhindered.

Behind the illusionary barrier in the middle of the barren land, a palace stood within it. There are many types of phoenix flying around, and doing activities in human form.

It should be a beautiful place, with bright blue skies and cool mountain air. There were very many phoenixes that roamed around and lived closed off from the outside world. Green grass and fresh trees are like tropical forests.

But now the mood is different. The red sky ruled the place. The phoenix looked uneasy when it realized someone had returned carrying an extremely powerful killing aura. Hurriedly they greeted in front of the palace, opening the door for the figure.

Gu Yuena, the Queen of Phoenix. It only took him two days to turn the entire phoenix realm within his grasp. Whoever disobeys, kill. That's the only rule that's written.

The Hell Cat in a form as big as a normal tiger, walked with Gu Yuena entering the palace. The phoenix woman was still accompanying at the back, while the phoenix group was waiting outside when Gu Yuena went inside.

The phoenix woman got something from the flying letter, then read it. His eyes showed a clearly readable unease.

"Your Majesty."

Gu Yuena slightly looked over. He chuckles. "Looks like news from the Ruler's Palace."

The woman remained silent for a while, then explained, "The Dragon Monarch has ordered that the phoenix be returned to its original place, no time to infiltrate."

"I knew. He's gonna do it." If he were to become the ruler, he would kill the rats without giving them a chance. Unfortunately, the other party seemed to have too much of an airy heart.

"Then ... will Your Majesty ask them to return?" ask carefully.

"Minimize the phoenix leaving. The rest, send to the Hell Region."

Hell Region ....

"However, their energy could not contain the pressure of the Hell Region. There are too many demons, fear ...."

"They are nothing but phoenix captives, it doesn't matter if they die. There are still many prison dwellers in this palace."

The Phoenix that Gu Yuena had sent out were only prisoners of the prison that had been thrown away for many years before her arrival. Those filthy phoenixes were just pests in the phoenix region. Rather than making a full prison, it was better to utilize them as payment for having spent life comfortably in this place.

Gu Yuena did not like to imprison people. He prefers to kill. The full prison only damaged his eyes. While the blood-soaked land pleased him.

The woman fell silent, then lowered her head, "Good."

"Huang Jiu, arrange the dissidents well before I intervene." Gu Yuena gave a warning.

Huang Jiu bowed, "Okay, Your Majesty. Huang Jiu will ensure the comfort of His Majesty here."

"Good." Gu Yuena showed her beautiful bright smile.

For two days he subdued the phoenix territory, it was not an easy matter nor was it complicated. When she came, everyone greeted her and crowned her the Queen of the Phoenix.

After Gu Yuena made the reform, the phoenix territory changed completely. Many disagreed, but most of them had died at Gu Yuena's hands. The rest were still hiding, secretly making hate speech among the phoenix and trying to get out of this place.

When he entered the room, Xiao Hei was left outside. Xiao Hei sighed listlessly, then sat on the floor with a raging mind. He hoped, Xiao Bai has already arrived there safely. Gu Yuena did not know this.

As it was known, the woman who became the Queen of Phoenix and had always been her watch this time was not the real Gu Yuena. He was someone else, who controlled Gu Yuena's mind.

Within the spiritual realm filled with red magic, the pale woman with pitch-black irises laughed in satisfaction as if having had fun. The incredible feeling he missed when he killed, now he felt it.

"Gu Yuena oh Gu Yuena, you should have witnessed how I helped you collect 1000 blood and have fun in the Black Sea. Unexpectedly, 'we' will be this happy."

The woman's gaze was directed at a small phoenix covered in red magic in a state of blindfold in the air. His soul was broken, unable to recuperate better.

"You'll be very grateful to me. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have had the chance to become the ruler of an ancient race and potentially rule over the entire world. Gu Yuena would only be labeled as a comatose phoenix."

Since making an all-out attack on the woman, Gu Yuena had already suffered a severe injury that was difficult to heal. His soul was getting worse, his regeneration was also slowing down. Eventually, his soul fell asleep as a result of running out of energy. His consciousness was gone, replaced by the pale woman.

The woman touched the transparent phoenix, then showed an evil smile. "Just calm down, I'll 'fix' you like I should. Humanity makes you weak, I only turn off your humanity. In the future, you'll be easy to take revenge without thinking life doesn't matter."

The woman laughed at the thought of how she would ravage the world and make the whole world rest at her feet.

"By the way, Bai Youzhe seems to be acting on you. What am I supposed to do with him?" Suddenly an evil smile was imprinted on her beautiful face. His black iris grew increasingly concentrated, turning Gu Yuena's entire eyes in the real world into black filled with evil intentions.

He'll have fun again.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

A pair of bright blue round eyes peered over the table. His white tail waved upwards, while one of his ears bent. He had been hiding here for a long time, but no one had found him.

Actually, he doesn't need to hide like a thief. However, he must not be seen blatantly so as not to be captured as an enemy.

Nonanya is in trouble and has committed a crime that is not based on her immediate wishes. It was a heart demon that controlled his nona mind. He must find a way to restore his nona soul and restore his name to its original form.

Xiao Bai was intending to look for Bai Youzhe. In this world, the one who could handle Gu Yuena was only that man. Although there was Yang Xinyuan, he had more confidence in Bai Youzhe. Who knew, if he asked Yang Xinyuan for help instead of helping it made it difficult for him and controlled his nona. He didn't want that to happen.

However, Bai Youzhe looked busy the entire day. Xiao Bai waited in the study room while pacing back and forth and jumped to and fro. Even shamelessly climb onto the table and look through the neatly arranged files. When walking, his long tail unintentionally shifted the ink until it fell to the floor.

Xiao Bai was shocked to the point of jumping because of the sound of the self-dropped object. He thought it was an enemy or a prankster, but it turned out to be himself.

So agitated, Xiao Bai became unfocused and negative-minded.

At the moment when Xiao Bai sighed because the sound was just the sound of ink falling, he suddenly felt someone lifting his body so high that a surprised screech came out of his mouth.

Who wants to kidnap her!

"Dead you!" Xiao Bai unsheathed his claws a few times.

Unfortunately, he could not reach the figure so it looked like a cat scratching the air. When he regained consciousness, he also fell silent. There was a pair of eyes that were staring at him flatly and dullly, as if to say that he was very stupid.

Xiao Bai sighed, recognizing the pair of dark blue eyes. Body's squeezing. "Your Majesty, can it not be such a surprise? I almost thought someone found me and wanted to cook me alive."

"Jawab properly, did you come to your own order or initiative?" Bai Youzhe directly asked the question regardless of how emotional Xiao Bai was.

"Your Majesty, are you watching me? Take it easy, I'm still on my non-me side. I came because I wanted to tell you something." Xiao Bai spoke honestly. It was at this moment that his body was placed on the table. Xiao Bai could only sigh in relief.

Being in Bai Youzhe's hands felt like she was being strangled.

Xiao Bai continued her talk, "Actually, Miss is already the current Queen of the Phoenix. The phoenix region is already not what it used to be."

"How is he doing?" ask Bai Youzhe. He did not stare at Xiao Bai, but rather the floor at the end of his feet with mixed feelings.

Xiao Bai immediately replied quickly, "Miss isn't okay. The battle back then was too draining of energy and hurting Miss's soul. Miss's soul was already damaged from fighting with the fire-devouring phyton and it was hard to recover it. Me and Xiao Hei just found out that in the spiritual realm Miss has another figure."

Bai Youzhe looked at Xiao Bai seriously. He thought someone else was intervening. However, how could it make Gu Yuena like that?

Xiao Bai continued, "The demonic power in Miss's body cannot be controlled, creating the other side of Miss that is formed from negative emotions and the past. The Queen of Linghun Palace planned to take control of the Miss completely by utilizing that dark side. Miss was expecting it, so asked me to be careful. At that time I did not understand what to do, but now I understand that Miss is in need of help and came to tell you this. But who would have thought, Miss was too angry and was unable to control her anger anymore until her soul suffered even more damage. Now ... Miss consciousness is asleep and doesn't know what she's doing."

Bai Youzhe fell silent as she listened carefully. It turns out that's the problem. When Gu Yuena trained in demonic power, her soul power was triggered and formed another figure filled with darkness in her mind. It was the dark side of a person who no longer had humanity in his heart.

"Your Majesty, do you know how to return Miss? Right now, I'm afraid Miss has realized my departure." Xiao Bai looked even more anxious.

I don't know what Bai Youzhe had in mind. Xiao Bai could not guess. Until Hei Changge finally appeared to give a report, Xiao Bai hurriedly hid under the table.

"Your Majesty." Hei Changge bowed, then said, "Part of the phoenix retreated to the Hell Region."

Bai Youzhe understood what plan Gu Yuena was going to make. Because if he became Gu Yuena, he would do the same to achieve the goal.

His current goal was to collect 1000 blood. Then that woman would definitely spread the phoenixes throughout the world to cause terror and bloody tragedy to the demon bones.

Luckily Hei Changge and the others still had time to overcome the spread of phoenix and gather them in one place. In this way, Gu Yuena had no chance of attacking.

"For the next time, watch their movements carefully." If it was anyone else, Bai Youzhe would not hesitate to kill. Since the one he was currently fighting was Gu Yuena, he could not misstep and let her do whatever she wanted.
