Dance Of The Phoenix
136. Loyalty and Blood

The woman that Ye Suanwu was fondling saw Gu Yuena coming. There were tears in his eyes, then reached out for help.

"Miss, please ...." He seemed to cry for help.

What a sad sight. Ye Suanwu realized something was wrong. However, he did not have time to react when a red magic hit his body until it hit the wall just like that.

"Who do I think, it turns out to be Clan Leader Ye?" Gu Yuena did not feel guilty. He just moved his hand a little, the man was already blown away.

Gu Yuena took off her robe to envelop the woman. The woman who was the wrong target was the servant who served Gu Yuena here. Somehow he could fall in a miserable condition. The woman was crying with a trembling body. His clothes had even been torn apart.

"I see you're okay." Gu Yuena slightly smiled at the woman after checking her state, then turned towards Ye Suanwu.

Ye Suanwu seemed to have regained his senses and looked at Gu Yuena with surprise in his eyes. Even though his clothes were not detached, it remained disheveled.

"Gu Yuena, you ...." Ye Suanwu wanted to say something, but did not continue. He looked down, "This is not what you imagined. The waiter was—"

"Classical game. I don't care who you sleep with, but you've dirty my bed."

"Listen to my explanation."

"All right, what's your alibi?" Gu Yuena folded both her hands.

Ye Suanwu just silently watched. His gaze was fixed on something behind Gu Yuena.

When Gu Yuena realized something was wrong, it was too late to make a defense. His hand had unleashed a magic that sent whatever was around him crashing far away, yet a silver needle simply slipped off and injected his neck.

He looked back, the waiter had just wanted to harm him. The needle that was injected into Gu Yuena's neck contained poison, making Gu Yuena's entire spiritual power blocked right then and there. Gu Yuena was also unable to move her own body. What kind of poison is this?

"That's right." He looked towards Ye Suanwu with narrowed eyes. "Traps?" Maybe he got into an amateur trap like this. He should have guessed from the beginning.

Ye Suanwu stood up with a satisfied smile. His gaze was directed at the maid, then let her go with a frightened face. He realized the servant was afraid of Gu Yuena, but did not dare to go against her orders.

"Miss, sorry."

After the servant left, Ye Suanwu approached Gu Yuena with a wicked smile in sight. "Don't it suck to be in a position that makes you feel helpless?" He said as he touched Gu Yuena's pretty face. Gu Yuena was very beautiful making her very impatient.

Gu Yuena snorted. "Why don't you just inject an aphrodisiac instead of a foreign poison?"

Ye Suanwu laughed. "Yuena, don't think I'm so stupid. If I use that, won't you let go easily? Ordinary poison won't work against you."

"You know very well."

"Because your body has the poison that Ting Le gave you since childhood. So of course, I have to use a higher quality poison. Unfortunately, nothing has such an effect as an aphrodisiac."

"Oh, huh?" Gu Yuena tried to forcefully use her spiritual power and burn the poison that was flowing in her body. However, the poison was too powerful. It would only make his body weaken.

Due to the forced consumption of spiritual power, Gu Yuena fell without being able to maintain her standing position. He held onto the bed beside him, then vomited out a mouthful of blood.

The naughty poison. It's more annoying than fire poison.

Ye Suanwu snorted. He grabbed Gu Yuena's jaw and pressed down on her. "From now on, you are mine. Gu Yuena, even the King of Tianshuang Palace cannot save you. He'll throw you out for thinking you're dirty."

"Not knowing yourself." Gu Yuena was furious. He wanted to hit the man, but his hands were very difficult to move. He feels paralyzed.

He can't stay in a position like this. He secretly burned the poison that kept flowing in his body in order to escape from this annoying effect. That takes time. Until the effect of the poison on his body became light, he would instantly kill Ye Suanwu on the spot if it really did that to him.

"It's just that you're defending. You can't even scream for help." Ye Suanwu rubbed Gu Yuena's face, then lifted her body so easily and placed the woman on the bed.

Gu Yuena had no other plan than to burn this powerful poison. The closed spiritual room made Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai unable to go out to help. His soul power was also chaotic. It must be because of the poison as well.

How strong is the poison? Where did Ye Suanwu get it from?

If this was used for the enemy on the battlefield, it would definitely instantly gain victory. Ye Suanwu wasted too much resources.

However, it is not the time to think about wasted resources. Gu Yuena should get rid of this annoying poison as much as possible. Don't let the man get what he wants.

"Gu Yuena, you are mine ...." The man pulled the ropes of Gu Yuena's clothes. Before it completely detached, he inhaled Gu Yuena's wine-flavored neck. He got drunk and smelled it.

However, Ye Suanwu had just punched Gu Yuena's neck for a while, a black mist appeared to befall her just like that until it crashed. The man hit the wall until it cracked.

Ye Suanwu fell rolling on the floor, then saw who dared to slam him as his lust was peaking. When his gaze met a pair of dark blue irises that were so cold and terrifying, his body suddenly shook violently.

Die ....

Bai Youzhe looked extremely angry. His cold aura took root and froze the entire room until the courtyard. A black fog floated around him, filled with killing intent when he saw Ye Suanwu who was so daring to touch his future wife.

Ye Suanwu immediately stood up. His arm was injured from the impact, his back also felt cracked. However, he tried his best to stand up.

"Who are you? How dare to infiltrate the Ye Clan and make trouble! You don't know who— is"

Ye Suanwu did not have the time to continue his words as the black fog blew against him once again until it pierced through the wall. The wall collapsed along with Ye Suanwu who was barely conscious.

Bai Youzhe looked at him coldly. The black fog in his hand shot towards Ye Suanwu, piercing through the man's body just like that. Ye Suanwu spewed blood from his mouth. He was terrified, looking at Bai Youzhe who was looking at him with blue irises as cold as ice. The next moment, the man closed his eyes.

Bai Youzhe turned around, looking towards Gu Yuena who did not say anything. The woman could not move so it looked like a living statue.

He approached Gu Yuena. His cold roar turned into uneasiness and instantly lifted the woman to sit down and hug her tightly.

Gu Yuena still did not say anything. He was too surprised.

Bai Youzhe's spiritual power suppressed Gu Yuena's poison as she hugged him as well as took out a silver needle that stuck. Gu Yuena was finally able to break free from the feeling of being paralyzed, then heaved a sigh of relief. He closed his eyes, hugging Bai Youzhe tightly as if afraid of loss.

Gu Yuena was afraid of losing. If Bai Youzhe did not come and Ye Suanwu succeeded, he was afraid that Bai Youzhe would leave him. He is not afraid of anything else, but he is very afraid of losing.

Bai Youzhe came to a realization when Gu Yuena hugged her very tightly. Nana was scared. "What's wrong, I'm here."

Gu Yuena opened her eyes, looking towards the unconscious Ye Suanwu in the ruins. "Did he die?"

"Yet. I know my limits." He did not want Gu Yuena to lose the target. Let Gu Yuena alone take revenge. It would calm Gu Yuena down.

"I don't want to see it," Gu Yuena asked.

Bai Youzhe granted. He locked the man in a black fog, before disappearing somewhere. Let outsiders find the man dying.

Gu Yuena suddenly thought of something, "You don't think I planned this, do you?"

"It's not your style that likes to challenge yourself."

"I was expecting Ye Suanwu to make trouble for me, but I forgot his connection with the Linghun Hall. It must be poison from there." Gu Yuena grumbled.

"The poison messes with the power of your soul, leaving you unable to do anything even in a state of danger. It can only be healed by the power of the soul. You take it easy, I've handled it."

Gu Yuena was still hugging Bai Youzhe, unwilling to be let go. Bai Youzhe wanted to look him in the eye, but the woman turned her eyes away like she did not dare to look at him.

"Sin'ana?" Bai Youzhe was confused.

Gu Yuena did not have the courage to look at Bai Youzhe. He looked the other way with mixed feelings. He still thought about Ye Suanwu's words.

This world is different from the modern world. He cannot equate the way people think in this world with the liberal way of thinking of the people of his world. Gu Yuena did not care about herself, but she thought of Bai Youzhe's view of her.

Gu Yuena took off her embrace, then faced sideways avoiding eye contact with Bai Youzhe. "I think .. I should take a shower."

Bai Youzhe was confused for a moment, then realized something. He held Gu Yuena's arm that was about to leave, then carried her into his lap and hugged her tightly while kissing her lips and neck.

"Youzhe, what are you doing?" Gu Yuena looked at him protestingly.

"Cleaning traces. On your body is the scent of another man, I'm jealous," Bai Youzhe replied.

Gu Yuena was barely speechless. "Because there's another man's scent, I have to take a shower."

"I want to exchange it for my scent." Bai Youzhe tightened her arms.

Gu Yuena did not know she wanted to laugh or cry. This guy is very outspoken. He thought of finding a way to get the stain away, but the man did not care and instead said so.

"Because I was too angry, I didn't see clearly. Where else did he touch?" ask Bai Youzhe.

"When you leave the Underworld, I feel restless and miss you. So I went looking for you, then found you entering the Ye Clan with Luye Palace. Looking at today's events, I'm getting convinced not to let you go alone."

"Why hasn't it appeared all this time? I was so surprised earlier, afraid you'd misunderstand and." Gu Yuena refused to continue.

Bai Youzhe understood Gu Yuena's fear and pinched her nose softly. "I'm not that stupid. I know you very well and will listen to your explanation."

"What if ... I'm actually with another man without coercion?" Gu Yuena suddenly felt curious.

Bai Youzhe smiled meaningfully. "I'll kill the man, then lock you in the palace to be punished."

Just hearing it was enough to make Gu Yuena lack courage. Never mind, don't ask me anything bad. Such a thing would never happen.

Gu Yuena hugged Bai Youzhe back and buried her face. "When you came, I thought you'd be disappointed in me because you looked creepy."

"I can be angry with you." Bai Youzhe kissed Gu Yuena's head affectionately.

Gu Yuena was already able to calm down. He looked up at Bai Youzhe, then kissed her lips at a glance.

"While you've 'swapped' the scent, I still feel uncomfortable. I'll take a shower."

Bai Youzhe held him back with a mischievous smile, "We take a bath together."

Gu Yuena looked at him flatly, then pushed him far away. "In a dream!"

Gu Yuena just left in a state of embarrassment. His face was red. After all, they were not 'connected' anymore since a few years ago, or 20 years ago due to living in the Underworld. Gu Yuena felt a bit foreign.

Soaking in the warm water he had warmed using fire, Gu Yuena examined the silver needle that poisoned him. If noticed, this does not look like an ordinary silver needle.

Gu Yuena had heard there was a needle that served to suppress one's soul. His name is a soul-searching needle. What made him powerless was the Linghun Palace's soul-searching needle?

If true, it was only fitting that Gu Yuena felt completely paralyzed. A person without soul power tainted by soul-searching needles for too long will suffer soul damage, forever paralyzed to death. Based on the terrifying effect of the soul-searching needle, he was sure Ye Suanwu did not quite understand it.

Gu Yuena had almost died from this one poisonous needle.

"Ye Suanwu, you brought me a big present, how can I not say thank you?" One corner of Gu Yuena's lips lifted. That guy made things easier.

Poor Gu Yueli who was stubborn trying to stop the stupidity of her own husband.

"Xiao Bai, find Ye Suanwu to give to the Ye Clan as a gift." Gu Yuena gave the order. A white light shot out right then and there without having much to say.

Before leaving from the Underworld, Xiao Bai had returned to him. Xiao Bai always knew what to do so went to see Bai Youzhe for help restricting Gu Yuena's insane treatment.

Gu Yuena had already guessed it from the start, so let the cat stay by Bai Youzhe's side until her consciousness recovered. While Xiao Hei acted on Gu Yuena's orders to stay with him, protecting him and reminding him if it was outrageous. They work well together.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Ye Suanwu fell thrown out of nowhere as the elders were gathered in the front yard of the clan. The man was battered and had a wound that emitted black smoke. Everyone who saw him was shocked.

"Chairman of the Clan!"

They're all swarming. One of the elders shouted to bring the doctor, while the others painstakingly brought Ye Suanwu to the residence.

Merely, when they raised Ye Suanwu's body, a cold aura began to be felt around the clan which brought everyone to a halt. Red magic surrounded their territory, exerting an overwhelming pressure that made everyone tremble in fear.

Two figures appeared out of nowhere, carrying a pressure that made everyone switch to him. When he found the figure of a beautiful woman covered in red magic that was suppressing them, everyone was stunned.

"Gu Yuena's? What are you doing?" One of the elders saw Gu Yuena full of surprise. Yesterday the woman was fine, talking to Ye Suanwu like an old friend. But why does it look different now?

The pressure felt so terrible that they could not think clearly. Plus, the aura of the black-robed figure behind Gu Yuena was terrifying.

"Ask your honorable clan chief yourself."

Ye Suanwu who was already conscious looked at Gu Yuena with anger. He could not do anything as long as it was swept up by the clan members. I could only grit my teeth and talk.

"He wants to kill me, stop him!"

Ye Suanwu's remarks made them take out weapons and put up an attacking position. Gu Yuena who was looking just showed a smile.

"It's changing very quickly. Before, weren't you so excited about planning something dirty?"

"Gu Yuena, you ...." Ye Suanwu was unable to continue the sentence when his chest ached until it fell blood. His condition is very bad.

Gu Yuena snorted, "Someone who is so shameless and stupid, is simply no match for being the clan head. I don't know what Hall Leader Linghun saw from you."

They were all shocked when they heard Gu Yuena mention the Linghun Hall. During this time, there was no yauu that they worked under Linghun Palace and Linghun Hall. Gu Yuena knew it, absolutely must not be allowed to live.

"Don't know where you have such thoughts from, we won't let you talk at will!" An elder stepped towards Gu Yuena full of oppression.

"Seens?" Gu Yuena laughed. "It's like this, still not willing to show yourself? It seems like the rules of the Linghun Hall are so strict that you dare not admit it and dare to go against Linghun Palace."

"Whatchu mean? Who are you judging us all you want!"

Gu Yuena sneered inwardly. They really did not know anything regarding her existence as the Princess of Linghun Palace. They only knew that the Princess of Linghun Palace was the owner of the phoenix blood that was now in the Underworld. It seemed like Ting Le was similar to Gu Yueli, not telling the truth.

"Blame those Dukes who didn't tell." Gu Yuena sighed. "Oh, the Duke's residence is loyal to Linghun Palace, so you followers of Linghun Hall don't deserve to know that."

"You ... Who are you?" The elder had a bad feeling. Everything Gu Yuena said could not be spoken by just anyone. Too dangerous!

Gu Yuena did not want to buy any more game time. He took out the demon bone in his hand openly, which made the entire Ye Clan shocked half to death.

A black crystal-shaped object the size of a fist, was now in front of them. They knew what it was, what it was so feared and became the nightmare of the world.

Based on the news circulating, the demon bone was held by the Princess of Linghun Palace on a trip in the Underworld to collect 1000 blood. He did so on the direct orders of the Queen. How could it be in Gu Yuena's hands? It was impossible for the demon bones to be stolen from the hands of the Princess of Linghun Palace.

The only answer most acceptable to none other than, Princess Linghun Palace was Gu Yuena herself!

"Before in the Underworld, I had completed the collection of 1000 blood. So, use it in this place as a devil bone dessert."

They're frightened. Ye Suanwu was no exception until his body collapsed again and crawled on the floor.

He's mistaken. He made a terrible mistake that cannot be forgiven. In addition to harassing the Princess, he also nearly killed the Princess using a soul-searching needle!

"Your Majesty, I was wrong! Please forgive me!" Ye Suanwu was extremely frightened.

If he had known that Gu Yuena was the Princess of Linghun Palace, he would not have done such a foolish thing again. He will serve the Princess well without giving her any inconvenience. If the Princess did not like it, she could leave the Clan as long as the Princess was comfortable.

"Your soul-searching fragrance has opened my eyes so much, that the Linghun Hall is so loyal." Gu Yuena smiled wickedly. It was great to see people scared in front of him.

They all hurriedly kowtowed without exception. Even the newly arrived Gu Yueli couldn't help but be surprised. Ting Le who had been frightened earlier also directly pulled Gu Yueli to prostrate asking for forgiveness.

Gu Yuena was really going to kill them all even though Ye Suanwu did not make trouble. There's no point in prostrating like this.

"Your Majesty, we are very loyal to Linghun Palace, please forgive him!" They cried out in fear, asking for forgiveness with trembling bodies. It was rumored that the Princess of Linghun Palace was training the demon path, no different from the demons in the Underworld.

"Feasily yes ...." Gu Yuena looked at the demon bones thoughtfully. Then looked towards them all with an evil smile that looked extremely beautiful.

He continued, "Have it done, because you are so loyal ...."

They were all a little relieved as it seemed like the Princess was starting to soften. They remain in a position not to get into any other trouble.

After today, they had to go to the Linghun Hall to tell the whereabouts of the Princess.

It was a pity that they would not have such an opportunity.

"Prove your loyalty to the Palace, by blood." Gu Yuena activated the demon bone in her hand until it emitted a red light. The clouds in the sky changed color in an instant like blood.

Everyone had lost hope, had a dead end, and was filled with fear of death. Looking up, looking at the crimson sky that seemed as if it was going to ruthlessly devour them, made them spontaneously stand up and run around looking for a way out.

When one of the red rays from the sky fell on one of the clan members, the clan member died in a state of soul and blood that came out in force until his body dried up and cooled.

The entire clan was getting more panicked. They attempted to escape and survive the terrifying streak of sky attacks. However, none of them had the ability.

The Ye clan was covered in blood back then as well.
