Dance Of The Phoenix
149. Back to the Underworld

"Again?" Gu Yuena did not know what to say. He thought they had enough of partying at the palace until late at night. This morning, the maid brought a message from Mu Xinhuan that she was going to have a party at Yuansu Palace tonight.

Yesterday, Su Churan brought everyone to party until late at night. Bai Youzhe was invited, but as usual the man chose to run away in the middle of the party. Gu Yuena herself did not come along and chose to remain silent in the palace while restoring spiritual power for the entire day. Bai Youzhe accompanied him.

Gu Yuena actually wanted to come along, but suddenly Huang Jiu came to report on the situation of the Phoenix Region. Gu Yuena had already made plans to deal with it and would be back in the near future.

But it seemed like he could not go to the Underworld at the moment. Mu Xinhuan and Shen Jialin made their wedding celebration, Gu Yuena should come. Well, all of you relax a bulging brain.

Bai Youzhe seemed to pay enough attention to the party held in Yuansu Palace. When he heard the news, he immediately ordered a new dress for Gu Yuena to wear during the party.

Gu Yuena became suspicious ....

"What are you planning?" ask Gu Yuena. The two of them were already on board the flying ship towards Yuansu Palace.

Gu Yuena's new dress kept her away from her cruel and cold temperament. He usually wears dark clothes such as red and black, so that the blood of his victims is disguised. But now he was wearing brightly colored clothes. It was a white color that contrasted with the color of blood.

Her appearance was extremely beautiful like a goddess descending from the sky. The makeup used also looks beautiful without exaggeration or flaws. It suits him perfectly.

While Bai Youzhe herself was wearing clothes that were similar to Gu Yuena. Although it was white, there was still a domineering black color accompanied by a beautiful black dragon embroidery. That appearance made Bai Youzhe look more like an elegant and gentle man, rather than cold and hard to reach.

What exactly was Bai Youzhe planning?

Bai Youzhe slightly smiled. "Just want to be something different."

Not likely. With Bai Youzhe's calculated temperament, Gu Yuena could not believe there were no shrimp behind the stone.

"Good if you don't want to tell." Gu Yuena did not care much either.

"We will go to the Underworld after this, of course it should look different. Besides, I have something to show you." Bai Youzhe remained at her charming smile. However in Gu Yuena's eyes, the man was too mysterious.

Gu Yuena nodded slowly. Never mind, this isn't bad either.

The plane arrived early and landed on the ground. The evil spirit has been removed, the construction of Yuansu Palace has become faster.

Since the main palace was still in ruins, they held a party in one of the halls. This place is so no different from the historic location filled with sturdy high pillars among the ruins that have been overcome. The air is much fresher.

Gu Yuena had experienced year after year in the Underworld. However, in the Mitian Plains, time had only been running for almost a year. Gu Yuena could see the snowflakes coming from the sky and grabbed one of them.

The hall that has just been renovated now looks very crowded. As soon as Gu Yuena and Bai Youzhe's arrival was announced, everyone paid their respects and gave way.

Yun Qiao as the Palace King Yuansu came directly to greet his younger brother and the King of Tianshuang Palace. Mu Xinhuan and Shen Jialin as the main characters of the party were also welcomed.

Ah, actually who is the main character of the party here? Why did everyone go to Gu Yuena and Bai Youzhe instead?

Su Churan's arrival broke the atmosphere and instantly carried Gu Yuena away. Women should come together to have fun as women. Shen Jialin was also very excited and immediately went to follow.

This time Bai Youzhe did not feel any objection because someone kidnapped his wife. His mood was good so it made everyone suspect that the man must have been planning something. His attitude is drastically different.

Come on, Bai Youzhe just wants to relax a little. Why is everyone so suspicious?

"Xiao Yuena, why does she look suspicious?" Su Churan glanced at Bai Youzhe suspiciously.

"I think I'm the only one who feels that way." Gu Yuena sighed. "Maybe he just wanted to relax for a moment before going to the Underworld. Forget it."

"He didn't say anything to you?" Su Churan looked at Gu Yuena in disbelief.

"What can be said?" Gu Yuena actually did not care much about what Bai Youzhe was hiding. As long as it doesn't harm him and there's no connection to him.

Su Churan looked so incredulous that she clucked a few times. Shen Jialin only looked on with a puzzled look. What happened to Bai Youzhe? Isn't that guy still as normal as before?

"Hey, you guys. Rather than dizzy thinking about work, it was better to have fun now. Mu Xinhuan paid for all this, so don't take responsibility." Shen Jialin gave the two glasses of wine to the two women. "Wise."

But it seemed like something was bothering Su Churan's mind so much that it said, "Xiao Yuena, did that brat tell you something regarding the Ruler Palace?"

Gu Yuena remained silent for a while, then replied, "I've lived there, so I guess there's nothing to explain."

"Do you really know everything?" Su Churan looked astonished.

"What did I miss?" Gu Yuena was curious.

Su Churan looked doubtful for a moment. "As in Tianshuang Palace, in the Ruler's Palace there were very many old and colossal dragons who were eager to get close to His Majesty. I think every palace has parents like that."

"I know." Gu Yuena experienced it for herself while in the Phoenix Region. Even Huang Jiu reported on the matter of the old phoenixes striking down after seeing how tyrant their queen was. It was fortunate that 'not yet' was killed by the heart demon.

"There were so many requests from them when His Majesty had just arrived at the Ruler's Palace. Did he never tell you?"

Bai Youzhe never told me. But is that something that really needs to be told? Gu Yuena said, "No problem not being told, maybe it was an unpleasant time."

Su Churan pursed her lips. "Right, very unpleasant." His mouth was itching to tell. "You will probably want to know so much that there are no misunderstandings. I assure you, it happened due to the insistence and His Majesty couldn't kill them recklessly despite wanting to kill so badly."

"Say if you don't want to tell."

Su Churan hurriedly persuaded, "Xiao Yuena, it would be best if Bai Youzhe were to tell you directly. It's very important. You can ask him what happened 138 years ago in the Underworld."

Gu Yuena did not say anything and drank her wine. If Bai Youzhe wanted to tell, she would definitely be notified without asking. After all, it was also none of his business and had already passed for a very long time. Hundreds of years, you know. What is it revealed for? It was possible that Bai Youzhe had forgotten.

Gu Yuena's answer was already written from her eyes. Su Churan sighed, then downed the wine and muttered, "Don't be sorry and blame me for not telling."

Gu Yuena only took a quick glance at it, then went back to relaxing while shaking the glass in her hand.

Of course he would not ignore Su Churan's words. If it was so important, he would wait until Bai Youzhe said it herself.

Although he was actually curious half to death.

The old phoenix demanded it to awaken the soul of the former Phoenix Queen. It was hard to do compared to resurrecting his father using 1000 sacrificial blood.

The thing is, the Queen's soul must have disappeared and been hard to find. He had soul power, but he was not that powerful to control the soul. There's a price to pay, which is his own life.

Gu Yuena was obviously not going to do it. Look at the parents who want to use it.

"Unschooler!" Ru Meng waved her hand as she approached, slightly running. "Didn't Brother want to join the show?"

"Yes." Yeah." Gu Yuena left with Ru Meng to see the show. Su Churan on the other hand just pursed her lips.

Shen Jialin who had noticed since earlier had no comment whatsoever. He followed Gu Yuena and Ru Meng for fun.

The night of the party passed peacefully and with great pleasure. The tired Gu Yuena threw herself onto the bed inside the flying boat while rolling around lazily. Meeting a lot of people is exhausting.

Bai Youzhe chuckled. He climbed onto the bed and caught Gu Yuena rolling around indistinctly and grabbed him.

"You're having so much fun today." Bai Youzhe had noticed from afar, Gu Yuena was very familiar with her fellow students and could laugh as if back in the study period. Time passes very quickly.

Gu Yuena looked at Bai Youzhe with a peppered smile. "Aren't you ever familiar with anyone?" He did not see Bai Youzhe talking. His face looked serious at all times. Despite smiling, his smile made Yun Qiao as the interlocutor tensed half to death.

"You're the only one who makes me feel so close. So close to him, I can't just let go." Dragon blood was born without feeling. Other than the instinct of survival and mutual debt and capitalization, there was nothing else. So far, only Gu Yuena has been able to give Bai Youzhe new feelings.

"The longer you've been good at sweet talk. I remember how you last cursed me."

"Which one?"

"Well, maybe I forgot." After all, for Bai Youzhe it had been hundreds of years. He lived for a very long time in the Underworld and through many things.

Bai Youzhe pinched Gu Yuena's cheek in a fit of anxiety. "I can't forget those days. I also don't curse you, just—"

"Speak truth? It's so evil." Gu Yuena pursed her lips. Bai Youzhe liked to give her the nicknames of wild cats and crazy girls in the past.

Bai Youzhe kissed Gu Yuena's pouting lips, then said, "That's the nickname of affection."

"Where is the epithet of affection like cursing people?"

"All right, I was wrong. No more talking about the past." Bai Youzhe surrendered.

Gu Yuena dispelled her irritated feelings. He looked at Bai Youzhe and rubbed his face gently. He remembered Su Churan's words.

He didn't really care, but he couldn't ignore it. Was it so important until Su Churan said that?

Gu Yuena said, "If there's something to tell, you can tell me."

Bai Youzhe smiled. Grabbing Gu Yuena's hand and pecking her briefly. "Good."

But it seemed like Bai Youzhe had no intention of telling anything. He just spoiled on Gu Yuena like a puppy. Gu Yuena could not file a protest or anything like that. It was Bai Youzhe's right not to tell the past.

At the very least, this would be a fair reciprocal. Gu Yuena also did not tell too much about her past. He always holds it himself.

That's not important. What matters is the present and the future.

The flying ship entered the world barrier which looked like a thin barrier like an illusion. It was different from the purple crystal that Gu Yuena had.

The world barrier was created from space and time and covered it with the illusion of a wall. Not spared also from the intervention of magic to strengthen the barrier. When the barrier was broken at that time, this place was full of cracks and could not be passed.

When entering inside, the world seemed to revolve in space and time before breaking through the boundary and arriving directly in front of the gate of the Ruler Palace. I don't know how long it took when it arrived. The time within the world barrier felt stopped so they arrived in the blink of an eye.

Just like when Bai Youzhe went to the Underworld when Gu Yuena was still at Tianshuang Palace. He traveled on the world barrier so it had already passed through several months on the Mitian Plains. As for Bai Youzhe, it had only been a blink of an eye. It was different when he arrived in the Underworld.

The people around the gate who saw the arrival of their ruler instantly opened the gate, letting the flying ship into the dragon territory. They immediately coordinated the welcome that the new queen said was coming.

Bai Youzhe and Gu Yuena appeared at the door. This was not a foreign place to Gu Yuena, but the atmosphere was very foreign.

Previously, everyone had suspected her of being 'Li Nana' and had never let go of the attention in every inch of the palace. Like he was a criminal. But now, the people he once remembered were now looking at him in astonishment.

Either because of Gu Yuena's appearance that was made like a saint or because of her position. To be sure, if they knew who the real Gu Yuena was, would they look at her like that?

Actually it doesn't matter. Gu Yuena also did not think about it for too long.

From the start, Bai Youzhe did not let go of her hand until she went inside. Even when a white-haired man came to him, Bai Youzhe still did not take off that grip.

"Your Majesty." The man bowed and greeted the two. His gaze looked stoic and had a smile on his lips.

Gu Yuena remembered, that man was one of the 'old dragons' he had seen while being Li Nana. Although he looked only like a man in his 40s, he had lived for too long until his tone sounded dull and stiff. Like a grandfather with a lot of experience.

"I'm sorry to talk about something important at a time like this. But it's about a project that's been under way for hundreds of years. We need His Majesty immediately." He spoke directly to the point, then looked towards Gu Yuena. "Your Majesty the Queen can of course rest first, we have already decorated the special room for you according to Her Majesty's taste."

Gu Yuena was actually curious as to what project was being run, but she felt no need to know. Bai Youzhe looked at him, then gave a smile and nodded. Well, the man still didn't tell me anything until now.

Gu Yuena nodded obediently and left. The white-haired male innkeeper escorted Gu Yuena to serve during her time here. It seemed, the position of the white-haired man was quite important in handling the internal affairs of the palace.

The distance to the queen's palace was not too far away. Xiao Hei perched on Gu Yuena's arm to be spoiled, while Gu Yuena rubbed her fine fur. Xiao Bai was envious.

The servants who saw could say nothing. Seeing a guardian demon monster so obediently in Gu Yuena's hands like a house cat, they became afraid to make the slightest mistake.

Rumor has it that the Queen of Phoenix was a tyrant who made her own people the bait of the battlefield. Even he did not care about living and dying someone for the sake of profit. Temperament is bad too.

However, the figure in the white dress was much different from the rumors circulating. There was no killing aura, there was only calmness and purity. Together with the small cat chord on his arm with a gentle expression, he looked harmless. Like two different people.

Gu Yuena was unaware that her slightly altered appearance removed the tyrant prejudice she had been guarding all along. Fortunately he didn't care.

Gu Yuena did not care, but the two cats did care. Both of them instantly spoiled Gu Yuena who was troubled to show that her nona was a gentle and harmless person. If you are afraid of the nonanya, then the nature of the non-demons will come out like people mocking. It is immoral.

Amidst that pleasant atmosphere, a pair of silver irises looked towards Gu Yuena with a complicated look. Its dew-like skin adds to its appeal accompanied by silky silver hair strands as smooth as satin so that it looks very beautiful and charming.

Gu Yuena was conspicuous in this place. His unusual identity made a lot of attention directed at him. The silver-sliced woman approached and saluted politely.

"Your Majesty the Queen, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Gu Yuena looked at him for a while. Looking at the appearance of the woman, it made her think of an old friend. If the color of his eyes was bright sky blue.

He nodded a little. The other party's appearance did not look like a servant, perhaps someone who served in the palace like the silver-haired man earlier. Gu Yuena had never seen him either.

"I am Jiang Xixi, having taken care of the Queen's Palace for so many years. If Your Majesty needs help regarding the Queen's Palace, Xixi will be there to help."

"Good." Gu Yuena remained on her temperament and left with the servants. Jiang Xixi looks to have other affairs, perhaps.

When Gu Yuena went away, Jiang Xixi looked towards the departure of the red-blanketed woman. One corner of his lips shot up at a glance, before finally going in the opposite direction.

Another woman ran down the hallway chasing Jiang Xixi in a hurry. When he crossed paths with Gu Yuena, his steps paused for a moment to look. His forehead was puffing deeply.

"Who are you?" tanyakanya. He seems to have a lot of information left behind.
