Dance Of The Phoenix
140. The Recognition of Gu Ying

Gu Yuena looked at Gu Ying who was sitting on the bench while looking at the mirror pool that revealed the condition of several places on the Mitian Plains. His face looked very calm, until he finally noticed Gu Yuena's arrival at his place.

He showed a subtle smile, then said, "What are you waiting for?"

The clumsy Gu Yuena slightly shook her head. He approached the man awkwardly. Gu Yuena's awkwardness made Gu Ying laugh, then asked to sit next to her. The bench he was sitting on was long enough to give Gu Yuena ample space.

However, Gu Yuena still looked awkward and confused. What should he say next?

"What makes you nervous?" ask Gu Ying. He could see that pair of red irises that looked puzzled.

Gu Yuena hesitantly asked, "You know me?"

Gu Ying laughed at Gu Yuena's silly question. So that's what his daughter has been disquieting since. He looked at Gu Yuena casually, then said, "Am I going to ask you to come when I don't recognize you, Nana?"

For a moment, Gu Yuena felt her actions were extremely foolish. He laughed awkwardly, then sat down next to Gu Ying with a difficult to decipher expression. He spoke with his father .. after passing through death. Really not out of thought.

"You're so big, I'm glad to see it."

Gu Yuena said, "Did you already know everything that's been going on all this time?" He asked so because he saw Gu Ying who was watching the mirror pool. It was something Li Hua used to monitor the situation of the world, including monitoring it.

"Not much." If so, he only knew what he saw as well as what Li Hua had told him.

"Oh." Gu Yuena lowered her gaze, then sighed. His mind was burdened again.

Gu Ying poured tea on the table, then gave it to Gu Yuena. "To calm yourself."

Gu Yuena accepted it, but it was not drunk. He saw the water in the cup for a while. His gaze dimmed, then subconsciously said, "From the beginning, did you know that you were going to die that day?"

Gu Ying was already prepared for the question and smiled wryly. "But I don't think that things are going to get any more messed up. Forgive me, make you have to have the worst day where it should be your happy day." 

At first he planned to make Gu Yuena happy first and end the day well and separate well. His time in the world was limited, Li Hua and Gu Yuan were also the same. Only Gu Yuena could survive death many times.

"It's nothing. Mother and sister did the same." He looked back at his father, "Are you okay?"

"As Nana saw."

"That's great." Suddenly, Gu Yuena did not want to think about what would happen in the future. His eyes are a little teary. There was fear in his heart. Between fear of loss and fear of chaos.

Gu Ying suddenly thought of something. "Don't blame your mother. He did what he thought was right for all of us."

Gu Yuena turned her eyes. "I don't blame." He smiled wryly, "I don't blame the fact that he's using me either."

"He loves you."

"You see it like that?" Gu Yuena chuckled, "He must have said that. He also said that to me. But she doesn't look like my mother."

"Devil has mastered it."

Gu Yuena fell silent, then looked at Gu Ying in surprise. "Devil hearts?"

"His real figure was Li Hua who was in that world. It seems, the devil's heart strengthened when those people killed you." Gu Ying sighed, then continued, "When the Ye Clan hurt you back then, you should have been gone. Li Hua was too angry to the point of obsessing over returning all lives. At the same time, Gu Yuan also experienced a critical state due to soul force, which added to his obsession."

"So he sent us three?" ask Gu Yuena. How strong is her mother? "But .. you ...."

"My soul is stored in the bones of the devil, and together you form new bodies and new memories. You and Gu Yuan were reborn, like everything never happened."

"So ... That world is an artificial world?"

Gu Ying shook his head. "The world is real, we are not real. As it is today."

Gu Yuena did not think out. Although he had once thought so, it was only wishful thinking. Attracting souls to another world to form new life. The sacrifices made will not be small.

"Do you know how much your mother loves you? The heart demon only follows its pent-up desires by using extreme means. In the end, there should still be people who limit it."

Gu Yuena nodded in understanding. Then he remembered about Yang Xinyuan. Yang Xinyuan existed before the heart demon made matters worse. "Yang Xinyuan ...."

"He's a part of me." Gu Ying immediately explained, "Li Hua knows you have phoenix blood, so fear the curse of phoenix blood. Since the existence of dragon blood was unclear, Li Hua used the dragon baby as the medium of my dragon blood, making the dragon baby have human blood that has the dragon blood constitution."

The dragon blood of a human is a gift, different from the blood of a real dragon. That was why, in order to make his research successful, Li Hua used the dragon egg in the underworld to inject the blood of the dead dragon Gu Ying. Apparently the experiment worked.

This also included continuing the experiments of the previous King of Linghun Palace who had stalled because it had exceeded the limits of humanity, making Linghun Palace exiled from generation to generation. Yang Xinyuan was the perfect result. That was why he had never seen the world since childhood and experienced a harsh life as Li Hua's disciple.

Li Hua paid close attention to him. However, Gu Yuena could not accept it.

"But .. did you know there's another dragon blood out there?" ask Gu Yuena.

Gu Ying thought for a moment. Li Hua did not tell him this, so he shook his head. The mirror pool also only showed the current situation.

"If I leave here, will you be angry?" Gu Yuena asked again.

Gu Ying looked at him thoughtfully. "You may have a reason."

"Whatever the reason, I've decided not to be here. What do you think?"

Gu Ying smiled, then rubbed his daughter's head. "Why? You want to chase your dragon?"

Gu Yuena felt that Gu Ying shouldn't have acted that way. "You don't think I'm a dissident?"

"There's a time you should go." Gu Ying still looked very calm. "When I realized I had a daughter, I knew that one day she would leave. That's why, I want him to have the best time not to forget his family. Unfortunately ...." It has all failed. Instead of the best memories, Gu Yuena was traumatized. It would be better to forget all that.

Gu Ying continued, "Therefore, live well. It would be better if you left the past behind. Do what you want."

This was what Gu Yuena wanted to hear.

He was no longer as awkward and had a chaotic aura as before. Next to him was his father, completely unchanged. He's very happy.

You just live as an ordinary person. Neither he nor Gu Yuan, would encounter any unwanted trouble like this.

Gu Yuena thought her heart was already strong enough. But he was always weak.

"May I hug you?" ask Gu Yuena.

Gu Ying smiled warmly, then nodded. Gu Yuena hugged him from the side, then felt a deep sadness in her heart.

He doesn't want to think about the worst possibilities, but he can't change the facts. The fact that his father's demonic aura was extremely chaotic. The devil's bones corrode him.

"I'm getting married. I hope you can drive me, Dad."

Gu Ying hugged her daughter back, "I hope so."

But unfortunately, that will never happen.

"The blood of the dragon I mentioned is Bai Yue's son. I'm gonna marry him." Gu Yuena explained while suppressing the sadness in her heart.

"No wonder." Gu Ying actually had some speculation about it. "You love her?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"I can't be a good father to you, I hope he treats you better."

Dad's been very nice. Gu Yuena wanted to say that, but her neck choked. He was just silent, acting like a girl who would go in general.

If Gu Ying could live longer, the war that ensued would stop by itself.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Bai Youzhe could not stop the red moon phenomenon even though she was the ruler of the underworld. It can only minimize the damage caused by the depletion of the world's borders. Demons began to appear everywhere, causing many casualties and fear.

He thought the phenomenon of the red moon had something to do with the demon bones and the resurrection of Gu Ying. He was getting more and more agitated, was Gu Yuena fine there or not.

After overcoming the border issue, he immediately went to the Linghun Palace region. The city near Linghun Palace looked normal. They did not know of the existence of Linghun Palace around them, as well as the few people of Linghun Hall who inhabited the place.

When Bai Youzhe arrived, she could feel the many auras of witches in this place. It was like entering a lion's den.

He disguised his aura to impress like a commoner, then walked deeper and deeper towards the city. The city was still within the scope of the Yi Empire so the witches could not appear prominently.

But it seemed like Bai Youzhe would not be able to get a quiet day. His pair of eagle eyes found the figure of an all-black man sitting inside a private room. He saw it from the open window.

This time the man did not wear a mask, revealing his handsome and cold face. On his desk was a weiqi board. When putting down a single weiqi pawn, he realized someone familiar was present.

Yang Xinyuan looked out the window, finding Bai Youzhe who seemed to be walking in the other direction. He pulled next to his eyebrows.

"There are unresolved issues" he murmured, then snorted.

The conflict is both not over. Neither the conflict in the Underworld nor the matter of Gu Yuena, had yet been resolved properly. Bai Youzhe still kept the vinegar considering that the man had plenty of time to meet Gu Yuena at Linghun Palace.

If the two meet in person, I don't know what happens next. Both are now in the same city.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

It had been two days since Gu Ying got back up, Gu Yuena had met him several times to make sure that everything was fine before he left. Gu Yuena wanted to part properly. With Gu Ying present, Li Hua would also definitely be restricted.

Like when Bai Youzhe restricted Gu Yuena who was affected by the heart demon. He hoped that Li Hua could overcome the heart demons as well, so that they would not need to be hostile.

But ... is that possible? The heart demon had already ruled Li Hua for many years, it would be difficult for his original consciousness to resist. It was also if his consciousness wanted to rise, but it seemed that Li Hua had no such intention.

Gu Yuena let out a long breath. He looked at the view of the palace from his bedroom window, with Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai accompanying him.

The door was knocked for a moment. Realizing who was coming, Gu Yuena let him in. Gu Yuan looked at his moody sister with a heavy feeling.

"Sin." Gu Yuan called out, then walked over.

Gu Yuena turned around, looking at her brother with a forced smile. "Sister?"

"Luo Yi said you were leaving. Is that true?" Gu Yuan made sure.

Gu Yuena nodded slowly, then went to the bench and sat there. Gu Yuan also followed.

"Do you and your mom know?" gu Yuan asked as soon as he sat down in front of his sister.

"Just dad," replied Gu Yuena. His gaze looked at Gu Yuan thoughtfully. "I wish you could come."

Gu Yuan showed his sincere smile. "Nana, if given the choice, I would definitely choose to stay in the city as an ordinary person. You need me." That means he refused.

"He will ask for another blood sacrifice. No, he'll 'wash' the world with his power."

"I'll make sure he doesn't. You're here too, everything's gonna be fine."

Gu Yuena smiled faintly. "I hope so."

In the end, anyone remained no one could control Li Hua. Gu Yuena herself did not know how strong the woman was. He was not confident to fight back after hearing everything he did not know about Li Hua.

The heart demon will act brutally and cruelly. Plus Li Hua's growing ambition, accompanied by anger and resentment. He will not stop for whatever reason. Although Gu Ying convinced him though.

"Do you have to go? Linghun Palace is quite good."

"It's very good." Gu Yuena smiled wryly. "But I have my own problems, my own responsibilities, also my own life."

"Mom won't allow."

"I know." Gu Yuena already had plans for Li Hua to release her voluntarily. He could not be in this place for life. Even if he wanted to, the situation was not supportive.

Gu Yuena is a Queen. He had an enormous grudge against the Linghun Hall. There was no way he could be with them.

He wanted to destroy the Linghun Hall. However ... Yang Xinyuan was not an easy person. He had the blood of the dragon Gu Ying, and was bound to Gu Ying. After Gu Ying died and his soul was scattered, the man would be free without any strings attached and become even more dangerous.

As for Bai Youzhe. He has decided what the future will be like and who he will be with. As Gu Ying said, do as Gu Yuena wished. As long as it didn't harm the crowd, Gu Yuena would do anything.

"I'm just afraid that you're doing something big in the future. I've heard of a plan, what's he planning?"

Gu Yuan looked serious. "I'm not sure you'll be able to take it."

"I'll listen."

Gu Yuan considered whether to say it or not. Li Hua did not tell Gu Yuena due to the lack of trust. If he told Gu Yuena, would it be a boomerang?

But he also had to have someone who could limit Li Hua's actions. Gu Yuena was the right person.

Just as Gu Yuan was about to explain what had been planned with the Linghun Hall, Gu Yuena's room door was knocked again with a hurried tempo.

Gu Yuena clucked, then let the person in to give the news. It was the servant by Li Hua's side.

"Something happened to His Majesty the King."

One sentence that managed to make Gu Yuena's heart beat. He and Gu Yuan exchanged glances, before finally hurriedly going to Gu Ying's room.

Gu Yuena's feelings were getting worse. He wanted to part ways well and did not want to experience events like in the past, it was better not to see and experience them. However, reality is not supportive.

When the two reached Gu Ying's room, they saw a frustrated-looking Li Hua channeling her strength to maintain Gu Ying's vitality. The man looked helpless with an almost erased consciousness.

Gu Yuan immediately walked over, then asked what had happened. Apparently the demon bones actually corroded his body. The power of dragon blood and demon bones were on different paths, making the two clashed and unable to be accommodated by the physical body.

Gu Yuena's mind was blank for a moment.

Li Hua noticed his presence, then let Gu Yuan take care of Gu Ying while he went to approach Gu Yuena.

"Nana, you can go back to the Underworld, right? No, it doesn't have to be to the Underworld. You just need to get more blood. You can do it. I need more blood to defend your father's life." Li Hua spoke hurriedly, trying to convince Gu Yuena to 'take' blood again.

Gu Yuena looked at him with a complicated look. He looked towards Gu Ying, there was an uneasy feeling in his heart. If he did not want things to fall apart, he would have to obey Li Hua with more blood. Human blood is better.

But ....

Gu Yuena found Gu Ying looking at her with a gesture. The man shook his head, making Gu Yuena depressed. What he should do.

"Nana, take this and keep it here. Find more in a short time. You can do it." Li Hua gave Gu Yuena a device to hold blood. It was no longer a demon bone, but rather a blood-red pearl. The blood-eating pearl.

Gu Yuena remained silent, feeling uneasy. He looked towards Gu Ying who kept asking him not to let Li Hua do the same. In addition to causing world chaos and imbalance, Li Hua's power was also sacrificed which would harm her.

Gu Yuena looked towards the blood-eating pearl. He did not want Gu Ying to leave anymore, he wanted Gu Ying to stay alive.

"Sin'ana?" Li Hua looked at Gu Yuena's eyes which had become dim without saying anything. He felt that Gu Yuena would refuse.

Gu Yuena took the blood-eating pearl in doubt. The feeling of sighing and the smell of blood smelled from that thing, making it filled with a strong feeling of bloodlust.

Really evil stuff.

"Good." Li Hua smiled. His daughter will not disappoint.
