Dance Of The Phoenix
152. Star Formation

In the evening, Bai Youzhe suddenly appeared at the Queen's Palace when Gu Yuena was checking Huang Jiu's report. Huang Jiu was surprised, but did not say anything and chose to leave secretly as Bai Youzhe placed her index finger on the lips.

Gu Yuena was still very serious. Until finally a hand wrapped around her waist and hugged her tightly. Gu Yuena was still indifferent until when she felt something wet hit her neck.

"Youzhe?" Gu Yuena slightly turned her head back, then patted the hand that was hugging her using the report paper. "I'm still busy."

Bai Youzhe did not take off her embrace. He placed his head on Gu Yuena's shoulder, then took the report in Gu Yuena's hand and read it.

"Just like this." Bai Youzhe took it lightly. It's just a regular report. Gu Yuena could read it tomorrow since it was not very important either.

He placed the report paper on the table and lifted Gu Yuena's body. "I want to take you somewhere."

Gu Yuena did not say much. He let Bai Youzhe take him flying somewhere. Not far from the palace.

In the star-filled night sky, there was a place above the clouds that could be stepped on. The spiritual energy is very concentrated here. Centered on energy waves moving between stars.

The energy waves formed a huge vortex in the empty space. It looks beautiful as if it is fused with the aurora of night which is like an ocean of space.

Bai Youzhe landed on a large footing that was circular by several meters. Gu Yuena in her arms was stunned for quite some time. He never saw anything so beautiful.

He used a telescope to see the vastness of space. He also traveled to Alaska to see the aurora. But this place is more beautiful than the aurora and the view of outer space from the telescope.

It was like being outside the universe.

"It's beautiful." Gu Yuena smiled happily. Then his gaze shifted on the energy wave that looked like a whirlpool. It was floating in a sky full of stars.

He could feel a very strong energy. Bai Youzhe used her spiritual power to draw out the energy within there and spread it out. The energy rotates, then gives a cool and comfortable feeling to anyone who touches the energy.

Gu Yuena also felt it. His position with the energy wave was close enough that the feeling was very clearly felt. Like a cool air and a soothing silence.

"How did you find a place like this?" ask Gu Yuena. His red iris looked at Bai Youzhe who was very close to him. The man still did not release his body.

"Not find it, but make it."

Gu Yuena was surprised and increasingly wondered. The question mark on Gu Yuena's head was clearly visible in Bai Youzhe's eyes.

Bai Youzhe smiled, then moved the energy wave even further. Waves of energy swirled rapidly like a flowing whirlpool and surged upwards. The footing full of shining runes, fused with the energy vortex and turned the dark night into a bright daylight.

On that day, flowers bloom as the snow begins to melt. There were many children playing with their families on the green grass by the lake. The vast lake confines the urban area and the green grass. There is a large bridge connecting one area with a full urban high rise building across there.

"I once said I would find your world in the past. A world different from the one we're currently in, without monsters and magic. I want to show you that I can find him."

Gu Yuena was even more surprised. It was unexpected that the man really seriously said it and painstakingly materialized. Gu Yuena did not know what to react to.

Bai Youzhe finally let Gu Yuena feel the warmth of the green grass she was peeping on. He stepped over while looking around in disbelief.

He could hear the sound of vehicles passing by on the bridge highway. Sounds of laughter and joy were heard around him where there were many people doing picnics on the outskirts of the city. There is no magic or demons. This is the world in which he grew up.

"Is this real?" ask Gu Yuena. He looked back at Bai Youzhe.

Bai Youzhe smiled wryly. "Unfortunately, this is just a replica of the past. If we want to go to a world like this, we have to travel all over the universe."

This is more than enough. Gu Yuena did not know how to express it. Everything he touched, the air, the grass, and nature, felt very real.

"Star formation creates illusions based on what you want to see most. I don't know what the world looks like, so use your memories to make it happen."

The Star Formation was what Bai Youzhe had not completed for hundreds of years. Initially the Star Formation was created as a magic weapon that could have a fatal impact on a war. But he made a little change.

Star formations use the power of stars throughout the universe. Since this is already related to the star and the outside world, it adds the illusion of seeing what the other world looks like in real time through memory. As long as the place exists, the star will detect it and an illusion will form.

It took a long time to finish. Bai Youzhe also needed the strength of another dragon, where the dragons asked for many conditions such as sending their princesses to the Queen's Palace in order to complete the star formation.

All of that was for Gu Yuena.

"I've been here." Gu Yuena suddenly felt nostalgic. "This is ... The last place I, my father, mother, and brother worked together."

At least, it was the last day he felt perfection. Tomorrow, he has lost. That day was the day Gu Yuena never wanted to leave.

"You can see the fullest." Bai Youzhe embraced Gu Yuena's shoulder from the side.

In front of them, a husband and wife with their little son and daughter played and rejoiced. Without thinking about the problem or the burden on the shoulders. There is no conflict or intrigue. They live for today.

They were Gu Yuena's past.

"I hope we can be like that forever. Don't get into trouble." Bai Youzhe said as she hugged Gu Yuena warmly. At least, do not let the past repeat itself.

Bai Youzhe had also experienced the same day as Gu Yuena. He was with his parents when he was young and only knew how to have fun. But the next day, something unexpected happened. He did not want all that happiness to be mortal a second time.

Gu Yuena looked at Bai Youzhe with a joyful smile. He said, "You say the illusion moves based on what I want. What if I show you something?"

"Then, I leave myself to you to explore in your world" Bai Youzhe replied.

Gu Yuena smiled mysteriously. He also led Bai Youzhe to another illusion where their place had now changed. The sight of the happy family had ended with a goodbye from Gu Yuena, as well as the hope that happiness would always be remembered.

They're in a building. A building full of advanced and extraordinary technology, as well as artificial intelligence that helps human needs.

Bai Youzhe looked indifferent to this foreign environment. He only focused on Gu Yuena until he met a beautiful woman with a beautiful yellow blonde iris. Bai Youzhe recognized him immediately.

It was Gu Yuena when she was 15. He was called Valentina by everyone.

"I was wearing fake hair back then." Gu Yuena told me.

Bai Youzhe nodded in understanding. The blond woman took off the wig just like that with a lazy face before meeting a man. A handsome man with a sturdy and sturdy body, he is the dream of women.

But in front of Gu Yuena ....

His handsome face was struck by that snow-white fist so hard.

"Ah, what hurts? I'll take you to that doctor to 'treat' your wounds. Coincidentally, I just bought a 'safety' for you to heal. Take it easy, I'll 'get it done' well."

Gu Yuena's words back then were very ambiguous. The man whose face had been punched out looked at Gu Yuena in disbelief before finally pulling her away.

"Hey, is 'your medicine' lacking?"

Bai Youzhe's face looked dark when she saw the man pull her Nana away. Gu Yuena by his side held back a laugh.

"Am I not great? He died that day." Gu Yuena said it while smiling.

Bai Youzhe's dark face had recovered. Then looked at Gu Yuena in confusion. "Why did you kill him?"

Gu Yuena smiled ignorantly. "He's my ex."

Bai Youzhe's face darkened again.

Gu Yuena pulled Bai Youzhe over to take a peek. At the doorstep, the man persuaded Gu Yuena who looked cold and could not be spoken to. Gu Yuena's temperament wasn't good back then, so hitting the man again was like a punching bag.

"No need, you can't touch it." Bai Youzhe reminded, making Gu Yuena pursed her lips.

Looks like her cute husband is eating sebaskom vinegar. His face looks ugly. Gu Yuena did not want to tease him anymore and straightened out the misunderstanding.

"I've never loved anyone but you, trust me. Even if you've been dating, it's just status. I'm too busy to do things that waste time."

"I know."

"But I don't tolerate infidelity, that's why I killed her."

"I know."

"You know very well." Gu Yuena was giving a warning. He believed Bai Youzhe would not cheat. But through this, she tells that she will not easily let go of the woman who approached her husband. Jiang Xixi.

Bai Youzhe was increasingly enlightened to act cautiously and not to disappoint Gu Yuena.

"Sin." A delicate-sounding female voice sounded. The silver haired woman as well as the bright blue iris, her face was cold and extremely beautiful. She was more mature than Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena who had finished beating her ex immediately approached the woman obediently.

The silver-blossomed woman looked at the apes man, then narrowed her eyes. "You're making trouble again."

"Aren't you the one who taught me to be unforgiving, brother?" Gu Yuena with her innocent eyes replied.

On the side, Gu Yuena by Bai Youzhe's side looked at the silver-blinded woman with narrowed eyes. "Ishabella."

"He killed you?" ask Bai Youzhe.

Gu Yuena nodded. "He adopted me since Brother Yuan's death. His Chinese name is Sang Ran."

Bai Youzhe seemed to feel something strange when she saw Isabella. He frowned for a moment, then returned to being nonchalant.

"She should be dead by now," Bai Youzhe muttered.

"How did you know?" ask Gu Yuena.

Bai Youzhe looked at him for a moment, then flicked her finger. The illusion turned into the day where Isabella died in the middle of the sea. The two of them stood in the sky, seeing a silver unraveling figure jump from the helicopter and sink after the bomb exploded. There's blood everywhere.

"He found the end." Gu Yuena did not know whether to feel happy or sad. Then looked towards Bai Youzhe. "I was dead by then, how could the illusion display it?"

"The time of the incident is not far after your death. Basically, you can see what you do not know while you are in an illusion. When you go to a certain time, the world will run like reality and you can explore it without changing time while still in the same world."

"So this is what the name is exploring time" muttered Gu Yuena. This formation is very interesting. He has to learn it.

Illusions can't last too long and they come back to reality. The energy waves were still moving as before, the sky would also be illuminated by the sun.

But Gu Yuena and Bai Youzhe were still reluctant to leave. The two were together the entire time while exploring the star formation to see things. When the illusion ran out of time, the formation would be temporarily closed and reopened after a few minutes of replenishing energy.

It was a time of fun togetherness. Gu Yuena could not stop smiling. He had fun and became a frequent laugh. It was Bai Youzhe's hope. He managed to make Gu Yuena cheerful again.

He hopes that this happiness will remain eternal. If tomorrow they are met by a bloody conflict, it is better to stop and they stay together without any problems.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

In front of the gate of Tianshuang Palace, a horse carriage with several bodyguards stopped. The horse-drawn carriage had an elaborate family symbol. One of the guards handed the letter to the gatekeeper, before the gate finally opened.

Those people did not look like the people of the Yi Empire. They have yellowish skin with short hair a little curl. Using a uniform with the emblem of a family, escort the horse carriage inside to meet important people.

The figure in the horse carriage came out. Men in their 40s look attractive with a grayish mane and mint green irises that make it look charming. He was wearing a dark green long suit, a formal suit that was attractive and striking if it was in the eastern region.

Without thinking people know that they are from Wyvernia. Perhaps one of the Wyvernia higher-ups, given the unique family symbols stamped on the horse-drawn carriage and the guard troops.

Elder Han came to welcome happily. "Duke Elberg, glad for your visit to our palace."

Duke Elberg, William Elberg. He was the nephew of the previous empress. His relationship with the Emperor was very complicated. The current Emperor Wyvernia was the daughter of a concubine of the previous Emperor Wyvernia, which means stepson of the empress. Only Vanya has a blood relationship with the empress and Duke Elberg as her cousin.

If you think about how it relates to the Emperor, it would definitely be very complicated and full of conflict. He could not escape the imperial problems.

Then, why did Duke Elberg come to Tianshuang Palace who had no relationship with Wyvernia?

Elder Han entertained Duke Elberg well and asked the purpose of his arrival. Su Churan should have known the Duke's arrival, but it turned out that the woman had gone to the Underworld recently without leaving a letter.

"A few years ago, I heard that Prince James—Gu Yuan— had a younger brother. Elder Han knew, he was the candidate for the 3rd heir to the Wyvernia throne. Although they did not grow up inside the palace, they were still members of the imperial family. The Empire establishes descendants who have red eyes are candidates for the throne. Prince James and his brother meet that criteria." Automatically, Gu Yuan—'s younger brother Gu Yuena— is the 4th candidate. The only woman among the candidates.

Elder Han had some conjecture in his head. "Then, is the Duke looking for the Princess?"

"true." Duke Elberg still looked calm to this point, but his words were very serious. "Some time ago during an inter-palace meeting, my subordinate coincidentally saw one of the palace disciples who had a pair of red eyes. He said he was a representative of Yuansu Palace. Yuansu Palace was in decline and was within the protection of Tianshuang Palace. So I specifically came to inquire about him and make sure."

"There are so many red eyes in this world. Is Duke so sure?"

Duke Elberg smiled lightly. "Red in the sense of the imperial family is a different red than usual. The imperial family has an oath of allegiance to the Phoenix, only an heir with phoenix red eyes can pass it on."

"Before you said, there were already three heir candidates in Wyvernia. Wouldn't the 4th candidate only add to the palace's conflict?"

"That's true. But Wyvernia had problems in the succession to the throne. After all, Princess Vanya's descendants were Elberg's descendants as well. Despite having different clans, blood is thicker than water. Prince James explained it to me and made plans before he left. For years, I've been looking for her."

Elder Han sighed inwardly. This would be complicated as it relates to Gu Yuena, the new Queen of Tianshuang Palace. Will Gu Yuena accept Duke Elberg's invitation to join Wyvernia as the heir candidate to the throne? Isn't it the same as repeating all the achievements?

"You know this is a very complicated matter." Elder Han while weighing.

"All decisions are in the hands of the Princess. As long as I meet him, I'll explain and he can decide without pressure."

"Do you know where Princess Vanya is and what she's doing?"

Duke Elberg was a little shaken. He had heard some rumors. But according to his memory of his cousin, the rumor must have been wrong. Princess Vanya is not like that.

A princess who dreamed of simple happiness and did not care about the conflict of ascension to the throne, she even ran away from the power struggle even though she was the most powerful first candidate back then. With the support of the Elberg Family, it was no big deal to take him to the throne. But Princess Vanya runs away and marries a commoner.

He does not believe the rumors and is still looking for the Princess to date. Gu Yuan was also reluctant to tell until his departure. The man only told about Gu Yuena and made plans for her to return to Wyvernia. Because he knew, Gu Yuan would not return.

Duke Elberg did not want the Elberg descendants to decline to that extent and forget the loyalty to the Phoenix. They were accustomed to being the leading and supreme nobles, protecting Wyvernia from both the outside and the inside. Even the Emperor could not fight recklessly despite hating Elberg's name so much.

"Regarding Princess Vanya, whatever is known about her, we the Elberg Family do not know for sure." Duke Elberg could not say anything else about Princess Vanya and could not take his conclusions for granted. He really doesn't know.

"If it's like this, Duke Elberg will have to wait. All this depends not only on the Princess, but also on the decision of our King."

"King's Decision?" To return a disciple to his house, must it be based on the King's decision? Elder Han as an elder was enough to make Yuansu Palace obey him. It is not necessary to invite two kings at the same time.

Duke Elberg's question deepened and was astonished. When he saw Elder Han suddenly stand up and bow, he stood up and looked back.

The figure of an all-black handsome man stood with his flat face which gave off a cold aura. Duke Elberg felt like he was being approached by darkness when he saw it, especially a pair of dark blue irises that were as cold as the night sky.
