Dance Of The Phoenix
151. Nana Jealous

Shu Xian picked Long Qianyu up to face her as the woman was gathering with the other dragon lady. Long Qianyu was Bai Youzhe's assistant in the internal affairs of the Ruler's Palace. Bai Youzhe called out to him for the first time, making Shu Xian very happy to think His Majesty the King needed him.

He did not know that Long Qianyu continued to pray inwardly for the poor woman to go through a difficult time in front of the unforgiving tyrant. He was also lamenting himself for having to accept the punishment after the matter was over.

"What punishment do I deserve for you?" Bai Youzhe looked at the woman standing up in full search. His gaze was not friendly. His mood is very bad.

At first Shu Xian did not understand why the King was so angry with him. As Long Qianyu said her mistake that had insulted Gu Yuena and said blatantly inappropriate things in the Queen's Palace, her world was instantly distorted.

The King did not call him to be served, but was to punish for the sake of calming the little phoenix!

Shu Xian did not feel that he was wrong. But when sensing an extremely strong and cold pressing aura like ice that was ready to kill him at any moment, Shu Xian began to feel that his actions were wrong. He shouldn't have disturbed the phoenix.

Bai Youzhe did not know Shu Xian, so gave him a temper-based punishment without listening to his plea. Since the woman hurt her Nana using words, just cut off her tongue.

It was then, Long Qianyu herself who cut Shu Xian's tongue on the spot.

The news of a concubine's tongue being cut off by the Dragon Monarch for the sake of the Queen was widespread all the way to the closed Queen's Palace without being affected by the rumors. Everyone was clearly surprised.

More to his surprise, the King did it for a woman. It was a rare thing for those who had just heard of it. This became a hot topic of conversation stating that the new Queen of the Ruler's Palace is highly protected by the King and should not be mentioned.

Rumors of the Phoenix Queen slaying the Underworld had returned to the surface. Everyone was more surprised that the woman who massacred almost the entire Underworld wikayah was the new Queen who had recently become the subject of conversation.

Demon Phoenix, the tyrant who conquered the Phoenix Region in just one night, as well as a terrifying serial killer. That was the nickname for Gu Yuena who was currently in a long cultivation to calm down.

He did not hear all the rumors. Rumors that made everyone afraid of him and reluctant to offend. At the very least, it was a good thing since Gu Yuena could pass the day quietly.

Month by month passed. Rumors that had previously been the main topic slowly subsided. The Queen has not been seen in the Palace for the past few months, not even the King visiting the Queen's Palace to simply meet the Queen or see her.

Everyone thought that the Queen had been dumped by that heartless man. To think that the cutting off of tongues a few months ago was not to appease the wife, but rather to commemorate the danger before her eyes as well as the relationship between the dragon and the phoenix.

The Phoenix Queen was a tyrant who should not be offended, or the consequences would be worse than that. That's conclusion.

Gu Yuena did not care about the rumors. He had heard everything when he woke up from cultivating and doing the work of a queen in the palace accompanied by Mo Liu and Chu Xin. Long Qianyu also helped him finish the job. However, he still did not meet Bai Youzhe.

As had been said before, Bai Youzhe was forbidden to meet Gu Yuena before Gu Yuena herself met her. There were times when Bai Youzhe came to the front of her room, but the man just stayed in place and left without saying anything.

It happened a few times in half a year. Every time Bai Youzhe came, Gu Yuena was always in a state of cultivation and was sealed off from the outside world. When awakened from cultivation, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai would tell.

"Miss, how long are you going to ignore it? People are starting to think that His Majesty dumped you!" Xiao Bai exclaimed bitterly at the ravings of the pretentious fellow.

"Huh, even though Miss who dumped the demon. They're really looking to die." Xiao Hei snorted in annoyance.

"In these few days, Miss continues to work and cultivate. Sometimes coordinating with Huang Jiu to manage the Phoenix Region and busying himself. Do you really not want to forgive Your Majesty?" asked Xiao Bai.

"The devil hurt Miss, just let her get dumped." Xiao Hei replied with a sarcastic tone.

"But it's been more than half a year since Miss dumped him. I see, Your Majesty is quite depressed and feels guilty." The always positive Xiao Bai wanted the best for both. He knew that Gu Yuena was not strong either, but his sense of disappointment was still great.

Gu Yuena trusted Bai Youzhe very much and gave up her entire life to the man. It was not Gu Yuena's style, but he had no other choice. Although Bai Youzhe did even more painful things, it would be difficult for Gu Yuena to break up the relationship. Gu Yuena was actually also afraid of being left behind.

When he found out that Bai Youzhe had some 'concilers', Gu Yuena became chaotic. He was angry, sad, disappointed, and afraid of not being able to sleep. He chose to keep himself as busy as possible and forget about his problems. At least, it was entertainment for him.

Sometimes Chu Xin and Long Qianyu would tell Bai Youzhe's activities during her time at the palace. Gu Yuena was acting ignorant, but listened to her as well and was relieved that everything was fine. The fear didn't happen.

Now, he thought it was time to end this ridiculous punishment. He was too late to punish a forgetful.

Out of the room, then greeted by Mo Liu who would accompany him out. Gu Yuena was with Xiao Hei in her arms, as well as Xiao Bai who was walking beside her continued on the way to the King's Palace.

When crossing the garden of the Queen's Palace, there were several dragon women who were seen swarming around beautiful women sliced in silver which was very striking. Jiang Xixi seemed to be very close to the other dragon women and let them flatter her at all times.

Over the years, Jiang Xixi helped Long Qianyu take care of the Queen's Palace. She was the first woman to become a 'conquest' in the Queen's Palace. All in his control. However, after Gu Yuena's arrival, his control over the palace began to decline bit by bit. Even so, he remained the role model of the dragon ladies in the Queen's Palace who licked him at all times. Jiang Xixi remained calm in front of the tea table.

Gu Yuena did not care about that. He just left. But his striking presence caught the attention of the dragon women, making them have to stand up from his seat and bow in greeting.

Jiang Xixi walked over, then gave a formal greeting in honor of the position of a certain phoenix. He looked even better than Shu Xian.

"Your Majesty, long time no see." Jiang Xixi greeted with a delicate tone. Her smile was beautiful and natural. He said, "I heard Consort Shu is making trouble and has been punished. Now, he was returned to his family. Xixi as a senior, can't keep up well and apologize to His Majesty."

Gu Yuena just nodded slightly. He did not care about the problems that occurred among the women, so only slightly responded and left. He had no interest in Jiang Xixi or any not-so-important social issues.

In a few days, he would go to the Phoenix Region. Better to avoid unnecessary trouble.

He did not look at Jiang Xixi badly. The woman did a very good job until it gained Long Qianyu's trust. Regarding his ambition, Gu Yuena had no intention of interfering while not harming. Well, even though Xiao Hei in his arm grumbled dislike.

"Everyone who has been doing palace business for six months is Miss. Why was even that woman surnamed Jiang put forward? Miss, you don't give him a chance to rule the palace!"

"Why do you care so much? It's good I have another assistant. My work is not only in the Ruler's Palace, but in the Phoenix Region as well." Gu Yuena spoke lazily.

"But people only saw that Jiang Xixi was working well. Well, even if he's been really good for years, that doesn't mean you should be ignored."

"Black, do you only know how to sow discord? As long as Jiang Xixi doesn't make trouble for Miss, everything will be fine. After all, who wants to make trouble for Miss?" Xiao Bai protested Xiao Hei's argument.

Xoao Hei snorted. "I've met all sorts of creatures for hundreds of years. Jiang Xixi came from a large family, she was much smarter and more ambitious than Ming Chin or the fool Shu Xian. Although Miss had the support of that demon and would not lose out just because of a dragon, Jiang Xixi still could not be underestimated. Just look at the imaging and the connections."

Gu Yuena sighed. He just doesn't want to get into shitty conflicts. Why did Xiao Hei even ask him to notice the woman who was not glimpsed at all? Even Bai Youzhe did not care.

"I've pegged the people around Jiang Xixi. He said, in the past Jiang Xixi got special treatment from that demon which made her have control of the palace. That was hundreds of years ago." Xiao Hei gave a rare information that made Gu Yuena stop her steps.

Gu Yuena pulled her eyebrows. "You want to say that Jiang Xixi is the former Bai Youzhe?"

"According to a certain demonic temperament, it shouldn't be like that, right? I told you, Jiang Xixi has her own world and should not be ignored. It was possible, he had little value in this place. Bai Youzhe is a cunning person who likes to utilize one's worth, you've even been taken advantage of."

Xiao Hei was not wrong. Xiao Bai himself thought that the argument had a point. It must be that Jiang Xixi had something that made her able to hold on and make a good impression on everyone.

Most of the concubines in this place were inconspicuous and were only known as people who lived in the Queen's Palace, nothing more and nothing less. But Jiang Xixi was different. Even Shu Xian was very confident that Jiang Xixi should be the queen.

"It's so complicated to think of others." Gu Yuena acted indifferently and continued on. "I'll let him play in the back. But if until I find out something is bothering me, I certainly won't shut up. So there's no need to bother too much for a female dragon."

"true." Xiao Bai tended to be positive at all times.

Xiao Hei sighed and went back to silence. It is better to eat dried fish than to take care of the lives of other creatures. He is also too lazy to have problems with others.

They arrived at the door of Bai Youzhe's study. Inside there, Bai Youzhe was sitting while closing her eyes with one of her hands touching her forehead. He is seeking tranquility.

The door that opened suddenly did not make Bai Youzhe's attention distract. But when he noticed the scent of wine coming into his room, Bai Youzhe immediately opened her eyes.

Nana's coming ....

Finally ....

Bai Youzhe hurriedly moved and approached towards Gu Yuena. Without saying anything, he immediately embraced the slender body with a deep feeling. He has been feeling guilty ever since the misunderstanding.

On the other hand, Xiao Hei squealed in a pinch.

"I miss you." Bai Youzhe whispered in Gu Yuena's ear as she hugged her tightly.

Gu Yuena moved her hand, wanting to return the embrace. But his hand came to a halt when Bai Youzhe took off a hug to look at Gu Yuena's pair of red irises.

Xiao Hei also breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Yuena was rendered speechless. It seemed like Bai Youzhe was really agitated because of this. Gu Yuena was not out of place for half a year, not even interacting with anyone were it not for work. He continued inside the pavilion like he was locking himself up.

It was fortunate that Chu Xin and Mo Liu took good care of her.

For couples who both have high egos, one of them must lower the ego slightly in order to improve the relationship. Usually Bai Youzhe was hard to give up and would play tricks to win. But this time he really lost. If he still maintained his ego, Gu Yuena would hate him.

That was what Bai Youzhe was afraid of.

Gu Yuena understood and smiled. "Have it done, give yourself back as you always have. That pisses me off."

Bai Youzhe regained her composure and re-hugged Gu Yuena more gently. "If something is bothering you, tell me right away. I'll replace you to finish it."

"Good." Gu Yuena returned a tighter hug. His heart calmed down again and put aside all the problems.

Bai Youzhe spaced a little without letting go of her hands that were on Gu Yuena's waist. Staring at the red iris, he said, "So I can call you Nana and will sleep together again."

Gu Yuena chuckled at hearing that. If this was in the modern world, it seemed like he would make Bai Youzhe sleep outside in anger. Or maybe let him sleep on the streets. Fortunately, the world is still ancient.

In the ancient world, kings and queens had their own rooms and palaces in order not to interfere with each other because they usually did political marriages. Hence Gu Yuena only asked him not to meet.

"I originally came to be angry again. But it doesn't seem to be a success," Gu Yuena said.

Bai Youzhe frowned. "Who else is bothering you?" Is the warning unclear? It seemed like he had to immediately return the women as it had happened to Shu Xian.

"I heard you had a special relationship with one of them."

Bai Youzhe felt that this time she had to be careful in answering. Don't be like yesterday. Gu Yuena had just returned to him, not to anger him anymore.

He thought for a moment, then remembered something. Well, there's one woman he knows. But their interaction was slight, Bai Youzhe also paid no further attention.

"It looks like the relationship they are referring to is one that is mutually beneficial. There might have been a misunderstanding back then, I can confirm that she was just helping out to be a spy somewhere. Because of his decent ability, I let him do what he wanted in return as per the restrictions."

"What is Jiang Xixi?"

Bai Youzhe nodded.

"You made him a spy?"

Bai Youzhe nodded again.

"Your relationship is very good."

Bai Youzhe relaxed her shoulders. It seemed Gu Yuena was jealous. It's a hassle. "I was in the Demon Region at the time and he came along. The Demon Lord was interested in him, so all of you made him a spy while in the Demon Palace. That'sthat's all. You know how the Devil Lord is against women."

Gu Yuena nodded in understanding. Now, he was no longer worried about those rumors. Those who misunderstand. So just ignore those unimportant rumors.

"I told you. So, what can I get?" Bai Youzhe returned to her cunning brain.

Gu Yuena looked at him flatly. "Didn't you tell me voluntarily? I don't really want to know either."

"I've said I won't hide anything." Bai Youzhe spoke casually while tightening her grip.

"What kind of payment?" ask Gu Yuena.

"Our deal once a week. Since you broke it for half a year, then we should do it 27 times including this week."

"...."

It's so blatant to say it. Xiao Hei who was squeezed into Gu Yuena's arm increasingly felt like a mosquito and bent his ears to close. He wants to run!

When there was an opportunity, Xiao Hei ran to be picked up by Xiao Bai who laughed back and forth. Xiao Hei could only shed tears. Miss forgot about it ....

"Bai Youzhe, aren't you very calculating?" Gu Yuena sneered.

"What is calculation? Anyway, we're married. You have no reason to refuse." He removed the distance between his body and Gu Yuena, then lowered his head and grabbed those red lips sensually.

Gu Yuena had no chance of resisting, so returning her kiss made it even more intense. His body was lifted so easily and placed on the table. His back head was pressed until it deepened the kiss.

Want to protest because you don't want to do it here, but absolutely can't. Gu Yuena let the man treat his body as he pleased.

As the situation grew hotter, the door opened making Gu Yuena push Bai Youzhe very hard. He exerted enough strength until Bai Youzhe almost fell.

Gu Yuena was too shocked because of someone who had come. Salah himself made out in the workspace where there will be many people in line to report work.

Only, the person who came was neither a member of the Assassin Guild nor a palace official. It was the silver-sliced woman as well as the dazzling silver hair, Jiang Xixi.

Gu Yuena tidied up her messy clothes, while the wry-faced Bai Youzhe looked at Jiang Xixi coldly.

Jiang Xixi felt that something was wrong. When he saw Gu Yuena's position on the table with a messy appearance, he understood. Didn't he just mess up?

"What's wrong?" Bai Youzhe chilled. He got pushed by Gu Yuena because of that woman.

Jiang Xixi was silent for a while, then bowed in greeting. "Your Majesty, I'm sorry to interrupt your time." He handed the parchment in his hand to Bai Youzhe. "That's the Queen's Palace's annual report. Mr. Long was being stationed outside for quite some time, so couldn't report through it."

Bai Youzhe glanced at Gu Yuena who was sitting casually on the chair while crossing her legs. He could not read Gu Yuena's mind so he hesitated what the woman was thinking when he saw her interacting with Jiang Xixi.

"Your Majesty?" Jiang Xixi called out.

Bai Youzhe looked back at him coldly. That drastic difference in outlook really shows how to treat people.

Jiang Xixi was nervous and cold. "Mr Long previously said, the management rights will be returned to the Queen. Automatically, this is my last annual report."

"The problem is that I asked. After all, the Queen's Palace was already supposed to be managed by the Queen."

"But I've had control for years. Others also could not adapt to the new setting more easily. I think ... I still have to have—at least a little—control to control the palace."

"If it is, you must seek his consent." Bai Youzhe turned her head towards Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena pulled her eyebrows. "I'll be returning to the Phoenix Region for a while, so can't make up my mind." He doesn't seem to care.

"You're going?"

"I've been leaving the Phoenix Region for too long." Gu Yuena was honest. He came here too to tell me that. When he looked at Jiang Xixi, he had the idea, "If you insist on asking me to make a decision, then I will let Jiang Xixi carry out her usual duties as long as I am not around. Consider me the one who gave him trust."

Bai Youzhe was wondering why Gu Yuena gave Jiang Xixi a chance, whereas just now Gu Yuena was feeling jealous. What's he planning?

Jiang Xixi herself felt astonished. What was the purpose of Gu Yuena making such a completely unfavorable decision? Gu Yuena's decision only benefited Jiang Xixi.

"Jiang Xixi, have to trouble you once again." Gu Yuena was being friendly, like she shouldn't be.

Jiang Xixi became increasingly confused and bowed to him. "Thank you for the Queen's trust."

Gu Yuena still looked relaxed. Until Jiang Xixi finally left, Hei Changge came to report something that made Gu Yuena have to get out of the room.

Along the way, a mysterious smile was seen on Gu Yuena's red lips.
