Dance Of The Phoenix
137. Poor Child

Gu Yueli brought her two children fleeing from the clan. There were so many people running around him, running without direction and full of fear. Gu Yuena really did not let go of a single person in this place.

Red rays descended from the sky, killing many people who were running around. Gu Yueli was terrified, hugging her son and daughter while looking for a way out.

Only by getting out of this place could he protect his children.

Seeing Ting Le running towards her, Gu Yueli was about to approach to take her away together. But the red glow from the sky shattered those hopes. It pierced through Ting Le's body just like that and drew out his soul.

Gu Yueli was unable to react properly. He stayed in place, watching his mother fall in a miserable state. Holding back a cry, he hugged Ye Mi behind him so as not to see that horrible thing.

Until finally a voice called.

"Yueli!" The dying Ye Suanwu called out to him, asking for help. He had not been killed by the demon bone and tried to escape with his legs limping ignoring the injuries sustained.

Seeing Gu Yueli with her two children, she thought that maybe being with them would help. Gu Yuena was Gu Yueli's brother, that woman wouldn't be so cruel to her brother. Their relationship is good too. Perhaps with this, he could obtain a pardon from Gu Yuena.

Gu Yueli looked at the man hatefully. He just stayed in place, holding Ye Mi who was hiding behind him.

If only that person had not made trouble, things would not have ended like this. Had the man been willing to listen to his warning, Gu Yuena would not have been so brutal with anger. The calamity of the demon bone was inevitable unless Gu Yuena herself wanted it.

"You are Gu Yuena's sister, you can stop her! Yueli, let's go back and persuade your sister." Ye Suanwu still wished for this disaster to end.

But it's too late.

"What can be expected?" Gu Yueli looked at him blankly, then retreated away from the man with her son. He said in a low tone, "It's too late."

He knew best how cruel Gu Yuena was. That woman will not let go of anyone in this wretched place.

The Ye clan was a feared and domineering great clan. It contained only a bastard who liked to play tricks on people, not much different from Ye Suanwu. Gu Yueli himself was fed up.

Better to leave someone like that.

"Yueli, I'm your husband! You should have obeyed my words!" Ye Suanwu said in a high and commanding tone.

However, Gu Yueli was already filled with anger and despair. Even in times like these the man still acted without guilt. That guy really deserves to be part of 1000 blood.

"Gu Yueli!" Ye Suanwu shouted at him. He felt like he was going crazy!

The frightened Gu Yueli could do nothing but leave. However, when he turned around, his steps came to a halt seeing who was standing in front of him.

"Gu Yuena ...." Gu Yueli took a few steps back, then felt her legs become weak until they collapsed.

Ye Suanwu in the back there fell silent. He was very angry and scared. What could he do?

Gu Yuena's gaze was riveted on Ye Suanwu. "It looks like it'll be exciting if I give you some lashes. Before contributing to the Palace, shouldn't you be cleaned?"

Ye Suanwu took a few steps back. He remembered several years ago bringing the clan people to whip Gu Yuena to death. It was unexpected that Gu Yuena still remembered him.

Gu Yuena who seemed to be enjoying the killing action moved her hand. A red beam from the sky fell on Ye Suanwu who was about to run away, making the man mired to the ground with a loud bang.

The beam did not kill him, only made him fall. Then, Gu Yuena controlled the beam to become a whip that tortured Ye Suanwu.

That was the first punishment. The punishment for the person who killed Gu Yuena in the first life.

After a few lashes that left Ye Suanwu shapeless, Gu Yuena formed that red beam into a sword. Ye Suanwu who saw him could only scream in fear.

That's not how much. The sword cut off the bottom of his stomach, more precisely casting it down. Ye Suanwu's shouting voice was now louder until the man rolled around in pain.

"I've wanted to do it for a long time." Gu Yuena pulled the corner of her lips. It was a reward for the basket-eyed man who liked to play tricks on women and was irresponsible.

The man had several children and wives, but did not account for them as well as he should. Gu Yuena hated people like that.

Gu Yuena threw the soul-searching needle towards the man, then was supported by a red beam that added to the power of the needle. Ye Suanwu grew even more unreasonable when he received pain and helplessness.

"I changed my mind. Your soul doesn't deserve the honor in the devil's bones to resurrect my father. It's a stain." He intended to smash Ye Suanwu's soul into pieces.

Gu Yueli who saw him grew even more limp. Gu Yuena avenged everything that Ye Suanwu had done, what about her? Gu Yueli did not treat Gu Yuena well and snatched away everything she had. It will definitely not be released.

However, that does not mean he will give up protecting his son. Even if he had to die, he still had to protect his son. They are the only hope.

"Isn't it so pathetic?" Gu Yuena turned her head towards Gu Yueli. "You lost everything. Your efforts over the years have been in vain."

Gu Yueli looked at him with suppressed fear. He ventured to look at the red iris that was already like the devil, then said, "My request is still the same."

"Do you think I'll grant you?" Gu Yuena refused to leave someone, for the sake of no grudges left. He kills many people today, if he leaves one, it is tantamount to adding an enemy.

"You won't be that cruel." Gu Yueli tried to convince Gu Yuena. "You can treat me as you like or kill me, but let them go."

Gu Yuena drew closer to Gu Yueli, then snorted, "You pleaded with someone who killed his own child? What kind of joke is that?"

"You didn't do it. You don't have that courage. I saw it from your eyes."

Gu Yuena was silent. Is it so visible? He was already as cruel and heartless as possible, how could Gu Yueli say that?

Clearly Gu Yuena was very confident of not leaving a single one.

Gu Yueli chuckled, feeling already extremely desperate. "Don't lie to yourself. When he saw Ye Junwu, there was regret in your eyes. Gu Yuena, you are still just an ordinary human being full of fear."

"It's funny to hear it from your own mouth."

"I'm not a good person and have done stupid things all my life, you can kill me. I just want you to let go of Ye Mi and Ye Junwu, whatever the pay. Gu Yuena, there comes a time when you'll know why I'm protecting them so much."

Gu Yuena looked at him for quite a while. His gaze was directed at the frightened Ye Mi.

What was his ... gaze as he was confronted by the black fog that killed his family? Very depressing.

Gu Yuena's mind was blank for quite some time. The heart demon in the seal whispered him to kill by saying the word 'kill' many times. He feels disturbed.

Looking again at Gu Yueli who was hugging the baby Ye Junwu in her arms, there was a strange feeling in Gu Yuena's heart. That feeling sucks. Reminds him of what it feels like to lose something he keeps wholeheartedly in himself.

Gu Yuena stayed away, turning her back to them to return to the place where the demon bones she had left behind. Accelerate the process of absorbing the demon bones, then end the calamity.

The clouds in the sky had now turned blue again after the demon bone energy was withdrawn. There was a lot of smell of blood all around, along with corpses scattered about. However, the corpses turned into ashes and disappeared just like that without leaving a trace.

They had tied a loyalty contract to the Linghun Hall. When you die, you become a creature of death. Despite the tragedy of the Underworld, the more deaths there were, the more death beings were born. But Gu Yuena did not care about that.

Gu Yueli who previously felt hopeless and prepared to die, became confused for a moment. He looked at Gu Yuena who was storing back the demon bones.

Gu Yuena looked at him, then said firmly, "Maybe you're right. But, there are some things wrong, you don't know me very well. Gu Yueli, I will still hate you, letting you live in despair."

Gu Yueli slightly smiled, then bowed in front of Gu Yuena. "Thank you."

Gu Yuena turned her face away. "Go away, don't let me see you, or I'll kill you right away."

Gu Yueli said a lot of thanks in her heart. He hurried away with his son and daughter, out of the Ye Clan to live a new life.

Gu Yuena looked towards the direction Gu Yueli was going. There was still a strange feeling in his heart, but he pressed it well and closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he was already in someone's arms. It feels very warm and soothing.

"You can vent your emotions on me." Bai Youzhe whispered. He did not know what it was like to be Gu Yuena, but he knew that she was still very sad and guilty. Bai Youzhe herself felt guilty.

Although never said it directly, they understood each other that there was a sense of guilt left would be lost. Time has passed, but the day remains a nightmare. That's why, no one brought it up.

"Youzhe, can I ask you something?" Gu Yuena suddenly asked.

Gu Yuena silently thought about it again. He doubted. Better not ask. He replaced the question with a more relaxed one, "You're going to leave after this?"

Bai Youzhe pulled the corner of her lips. "If you say I have to stay with you, I won't go."

"You better get back to the palace, I'm fine."

Beyond Bai Youzhe's expectations, Gu Yuena instead asked him to leave. Though he was expecting Gu Yuena to still want to be with him until he arrived at Linghun Palace. Even if Gu Yuena did not want to part despite having entered Linghun Palace, Bai Youzhe happily followed after her.

"Didn't you miss me?" Bai Youzhe spoke in a pitiful tone.

Gu Yuena took off a hug, looking into those pitying eyes. There was a sense of resentment in his heart, but Bai Youzhe's acting was so deep that Gu Yuena could not bear to bully him.

The woman sighed, "It's not what you think." What the hell am I saying? Gu Yuena felt her brain was already damaged serving Bai Youzhe's acting. But he couldn't stop saying, "I just thought the journey wasn't too far. The Capital is in sight, I also have to meet the people of Linghun Palace to escort me."

"In that case, I'll drive you. I can't guarantee you won't fall into position like before." Bai Youzhe smiled triumphantly.

Gu Yuena pensively looked at him, feeling that something was wrong. A certain man had planned to follow him from the beginning. Gu Yuena was free to expel. He was just teasing Gu Yuena.

Thinking about it pisses him off.

He was deceived many times.

This cunning man ....

Gu Yuena did not want to argue for long which would eventually be humiliated. He went straight to the capital by air. Bai Youzhe followed by his side.

Seeing the man flying without wings looking so focused on the journey, Gu Yuena felt it was better. There was at least a moment where Bai Youzhe would be serious and infuriating. He always knows the time.

Arrive at the Yi Capital where the Imperial Palace is located. Gu Yuena had contacted the people of Linghun Palace before. They will come tomorrow because of a long journey. Gu Yuena could not directly come to Linghun Palace because it had a special barrier. He doesn't even have access to random entry and exit.

There is a key to unlock the barrier that the witches are carrying. The key was only one, which made Linghun Palace even more closed every time.

If the keyword is missing, it is not a big deal. Li Hua could make it again, because the barrier was his own making. He can enter freely.

Gu Yuena so had to think of how to escape from that place after breaking off the relationship later. Li Hua would not let him go so easily.

Bai Youzhe found a cute mask seller who used to enliven the festival. A cute mask for the cute Gu Yuena, he thought. He bought one, then put it on Gu Yuena who was daydreaming.

Gu Yuena was surprised that something was affixed to her face. He touched the mask, like a cat. There was just something Bai Youzhe had done.

Bai Youzhe said, "My cat looks cute using it."

Gu Yuena pouted. "Who's the cat?" I'm phoenix!

Bai Youzhe chuckled. He also bought one for himself. Black wolf shaped mask. He smiled mockingly towards Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena did not know whether to laugh or cry. He only showed a short laugh and gave a look as if saying "you're stupid" before finally leaving with the cat mask on his face.

The capital city was celebrating the Chinese, there were many exhibitions and bazars around that made Gu Yuena interested. It had not been to the Capital since the destruction of Duke Gu. The city is much better than 6 years ago.

There are many nobles celebrating. Bai Youzhe told some of them that she knew, whereas Gu Yuena just nodded while eating chips. The man bought some items and snacks for the fun-loving Gu Yuena.

It just so happened that Gu Yuena met Jin Xiao again after parting ways some time ago. The woman immediately recognized Gu Yuena, then watched carefully when she had just met.

The cat mask that was already like children made Gu Yuena look cute. He wouldn't believe it was Gu Yuena if he didn't see it in person. One more thing surprised him; the presence of Bai Youzhe following Gu Yuena was in the spotlight.

If not for that black wolf mask, it was feared that there would be many male hunting women swarming around. Jin Xiao could not help but act polite and give his regards when he saw the man.

It was very different when treating Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena who had been watching was snorting, "Jin Xiao, you have great respect for Bai Youzhe, but are so rude to me." Gu Yuena put on a face of objection. She was also a Queen in the Underworld.

"Gu Yuena, aren't we very close? With friends, there's no need to feel awkward." Jin Xiao smiled. But his eyes showed annoyance. He seemed to have a bad dream last night until he had to meet Gu Yuena again.

Gu Yuena let out a short laugh, an insincere laugh until no one saw her smile properly. He's pissed off. Bai Youzhe who was looking at the woman's childish behavior felt anxious and wanted to pounce on her. Nana is so cute.

"I remember a while ago someone said I wasn't needed. Now, who needs whom to persuade me to take the journey." Gu Yuena insinuated Jin Xiao's invitation back then.

Jin Xiao was made speechless. Why should I bring it up in front of Bai Youzhe? That embarrassed him!

"Gu Yuena, I was just kidding back then. We haven't seen each other in a long time, seeing you alone in the badlands, I feel sorry." He had to keep a face in front of Bai Youzhe, do not humiliate the palace and become the laughingstock of other palaces.

"I'm sorry, anyway." Gu Yuena clucked, then embraced Jin Xiao just like that before saying, "But you're more pity. How many resources did you waste in the Ye Clan? Better give it to me, I'll take good care of it."

Jin Xiao looked at him sharply, then smiled forcefully. "Gu Yuena, you are very kind to think about Luye Palace."

"It seems you don't know. Some time ago, the Ye Clan had already stayed a name."

Jin Xiao's smile froze. He looked at Gu Yuena seriously. "Don't talk carelessly."

"I've been warning." Gu Yuena sighed. "People who work for the Linghun Hall don't have a good ending. I know more than anyone."

Jin Xiao so thought nothing of Gu Yuena. There's no way Gu Yuena would destroy them, right? Linghun Hall and Linghun Palace were the same, but also different. Gu Yuena looked dislikeful of the Linghun Hall. If true, the Ye Clan must have been destroyed by Linghun Palace.

Only, he did not think out. The Ye clan turned out to be the lackeys of the Linghun Hall. "Why should I trust you?"

"Because I am the Princess of Linghun Palace." Gu Yuena did not show directly that he had made the Ye Clan disappear in such a short period of time. Jin Xiao could faint now.

Jin Xiao was seen in the fog. He looked at Gu Yuena vigilantly, then took off the woman's embrace. He whispered something to his servant to deal with the matter of the Ye Clan.

After letting his servant go, Jin Xiao looked towards Gu Yuena, "I don't know what your purpose is telling me, but this Queen is saying thank you." His gaze was directed at Bai Youzhe who had been silent since. "Your Majesty King Bai, you may have known earlier. However, I wonder what you guys are going to do. The influence of the Ye Clan was enormous. Their destruction would make many changes in the Mitian Plains. It meant that the Linghun Hall had entered the various factions in the world."

Bai Youzhe glanced at Gu Yuena. What change? Gu Yuena destroyed it, not even the Linghun Hall could do anything to him. Although the influence of the Ye Clan had been worldwide, it had nothing to do with him.

Gu Yuena eliminated everything, then the problem disappeared. The Ye clan is completely gone. At most it only brought trouble for those with ties to the Ye Clan. Tianshuang Palace was unaffected.

"Do I have to pay attention to some little mice?" Bai Youzhe replied with a chuckle.

Jin Xiao maintained his face even though his heart was falling and drifting. Tianshuang Palace had no relationship with the Ye Clan, they did not care what the Ye Clan was rampant or disappeared even though. He asked wrongly.

Actually, the couple was suppressing him right now. Jin Xiao did not know how to react. His self-esteem was high, obviously not going to be too low let alone admit mistakes. After all, he's innocent. He's just wrong to talk to these shitty people. He should have gone instead of ascertaining what Gu Yuena was or not.

His relationship with Tianshuang Palace should not get any more awkward. Jin Xiao could only end this unpleasant encounter.

"Because it seems like King Bai and Miss Gu are busy, this Queen is not interrupting for much longer." Jin Xiao remained at his best and hurriedly left.

Gu Yuena was actually reprimanding him. "Hey, are you just going to leave without talking for a second?"

Talk a sec? Jin Xiao felt that he would vomit blood and die sooner. They've been talking for a long time, even pressing him until he can't show his face. Jin Xiao simply threw his best smile before finally saying, "Miss Gu, this Queen doesn't want to interfere and there are still things to do." He also left in a hurry.

Her image as queen was destroyed!

Gu Yuea who saw his departure showed a mocking smile. His eyes met with Bai Youzhe. This man was extremely indifferent and cold to others, not even giving Jin Xiao a face. If not for Bai Youzhe's words just now, Jin Xiao might still have an argument with Gu Yuena. Jin Xiao was really depressed this time.

"Huh, how sorry that boy is." Gu Yuena laughed, feeling very happy. Jin Xiao was very easily provoked, he became very fond of judging him.

"More times should make him feel more sorry." Bai Youzhe sneered. Dare to call his future wife is an unwanted person. The proof, he wanted Gu Yuena so badly and needed her so much.

Gu Yuena looked at Bai Youzhe who seemed to have bad thoughts. His red pupils became alert.

"Don't fuck around." Although Gu Yuena and Jin Xiao's relationship was like that of a dog and a cat, it was still that neither of them had any real killing intent or hatred. They just don't like each other, that's all.
