Dance Of The Phoenix
Extra Chapter - Three Soul Stones

Sneaking out of the Duke Gu Residence was quite exhausting. Gu Yuena with her slender figure in a simple dress peered over the walls of the residence to make sure of the situation.

His eyes narrowed for a moment, before finally deciding to leave.

"Sister, maybe I should worry about you." Gu Yuena reluctantly ran across the forest and left the city.

Duke Gu's residence is not his place. He did not want to continue to be there and be made into a puppet played by the children.

So, he decided to leave and wished he never came back.

However, halfway after escaping out of the Capital City, he saw flames blazing from a distance. The flames contained an enormous amount of magic power and triggered an explosion.

When the explosion from that place shot up into the sky and created huge fireworks, Gu Yuena involuntarily closed her eyes in surprise.

He frowned. "What's that?"

Isn't the day so damn?

He has little experience and does not know what to do. When he saw the many black-clothed people scattered all over, Gu Yuena's shoulders relaxed.

He had only reached level 3 cultivation, how could he handle those many black-clothed adults who felt so powerful?

Gu Yuena turned around about to flee. However, his steps turned instead when he saw a few people dressed in black walking towards the origin of the explosion with quick steps. Gu Yuena hid behind a large tree while holding her breath.

The pair of red irises involuntarily found a small figure coming out from the wall hole. Gu Yuena thought, it seems like her position this time is in the backyard of someone's residence. But ... The chaos went far enough. Is the residence so big? Bigger than Duke Gu's residence?

Looking at the girl who seemed to be the same age as him, Gu Yuena inevitably made sure that those people had gone to the origin of the explosion before approaching her.

"Can you stand up?" tanyanya looked down.

That girl is so dirty. His face was full of ashes with eyes that were reddened from crying. His body shook violently. When he looked up to look at Gu Yuena, he unintentionally retreated in fear.

Gu Yuena tilted her head, then looked at the large wall in front of her where the girl came out. There's a huge fog of burning fire up there. Moreover, the magic energy there was extremely powerful, making him feel depressed.

"Is your house under attack?" ask Gu Yuena. He looked towards the frightened-looking girl, then sighed.

Those people in black clothes looked suspicious. They came when the explosion happened and just when this girl escaped. They must be the culprit.

Gu Yuena crouched down, then extended her hand, "Don't be afraid. Although I can't help you fight the enemy, I can help you escape."

The girl looked at Gu Yuena doubtfully. He was initially suspicious, but still received Gu Yuena's helping hand.

Without saying anything, Gu Yuena took him running away from the people in black.

Thanks to the phoenix blood, they could not find any trace of Gu Yuena. However, they could not go all the way and still had to hide.

The girl continued to cry as she clasped the tip of Gu Yuena's clothes as she walked along, then hid among the big trees and bushes while on the run.

"Be quiet, you'll get us caught." Gu Yuena said carefully.

The girl covered her mouth with both hands, suppressing her cries. After the condition of the situation loosened, Gu Yuena pulled the girl's arm and ran quite a distance.

They were not found at all.

The girl was still as unwilling as she walked behind Gu Yuena without taking off the handle. Gu Yuena glanced at him a glance, then refocused on the road.

The girl suddenly said, "Sorry. Have I disturbed and troubled you?"

Gu Yuena turned her head towards him, then nodded honestly. He smiled, then said, "It's not a problem. We're the same escape plan, though for different reasons."

The girl looked down deeply, looking very sad. "But .. I don't want to run. Even though they killed my family, I still cannot run and still have a burden to bear. Brother, why do you want to run away as well?"

Gu Yuena was silent for a moment. "No one wants me, I have no reason to stay in a place that doesn't even feel like home."

The girl smiled wryly. "At least, there must be one person who will worry about you."

Those were words that came from the girl who was filled with family affection. How could he understand Gu Yuena? So Gu Yuena would not take him seriously.

"I do have a sister, but she lives very far away. If there's a chance, I'll go look for him."

"Then, where are we going?"

Gu Yuena thought for a moment. He had his own plans, but could not bring anyone else along with him.

There are many secrets in his body. Phoenix blood, soul power, then ....

There were too many dangerous things waiting for him. He doesn't want to involve anyone. On this journey, he must at least hit the target in order to become stronger and avenge his mother's death.

He had for too long pretended not to know anything and accepted the suppression. Which sane person would stand it?

"I am Su Churan. How do I call Brother?"

Gu Yuena slightly smiled then replied, "Don't call me big brother. Looks like we're the same age. Call me Gu Yuena."

"Then, can I call you Xiao Yuena?"

Gu Yuena nodded slowly. He did not say much and could only take Su Churan to a nearby town.

After buying food for Su Churan to stop being sad, she went by herself somewhere to buy maps and other supplies. It was fortunate that he had a small amount of money he collected from the proceeds Gu Yuan gave him each time he came. Duke Gu's residence did not give him any money at all.

Finding maps of the continents is difficult and expensive. Gu Yuena and Su Churan passed through a few days in the city until Gu Yuena's savings were depleted. He finally found a suitable map at the expense of almost all of his money.

It feels so incompatible ....

However, just as he had just finished buying the map, he was startled by some people with the insignia of Duke Gu's troops around the city.

Ah, he still doesn't want to get caught ....

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

However, his steps came to a halt when he saw a black horse walking towards him and stopped.

Su Churan frowned and tilted her head in confusion while chewing on the cake. Trying to remember who the night blue-sliced man on the black horse was, his eyes were filled with shock until the cake in his hand nearly fell.

"You ... you ...." Su Churan panicked herself. He didn't know what to react to when he recognized the pair of irises. He did not know who the black-robed young man was, but his pair of eyes were very unique and he had seen him once in a while.

The man lowered the hood of his robe, showing a peerless handsome face that could make any woman unable to turn away from him. His eyes revealed extreme cold.

It frightened Su Churan and kept shouting at Gu Yuena to come defend her many times inwardly. After all, he had a certain trauma to the person dressed in black.

"Su Churan, isn't that your name?" tanyakanya.

Su Churan nodded in doubt. "You ... are you Luo Youzhe from the Luo Clan? My dad once told—"

"From now on your name is Qin Chuan. You will be staying in the Luo Clan for a while," interrupted Bai Youzhe, who was currently still taking on the identity of the Young Master of the Luo Clan, Luo Youzhe.

Su Churan flinched. He took a few steps back, clearly distrusting Bai Youzhe. After all, he was still a child who did not understand the cruelty of the world. Moreover, he had just lost his entire family. He only trusted Gu Yuena, his savior.

Bai Youzhe sighed. "Your father, Su Qian, entrusted someone to you who has currently been in the Luo Clan. I'll take you to him."

Hearing his father being called, Su Churan's eyes grew louder and she began to shed tears.

Bai Youzhe's face grew darker. He hated the woman who was crying, because it was very troublesome.

Looking at Su Churan, he became reminded of himself. Somehow Su Churan could be here. He thought he still had to sneak into the Su Clan to take him away, but it turned out to be this easy.

He wondered, who saved this little boy?

"Who saved you?" ask Bai Youzhe.

Su Churan looked at him doubtfully. "That's ...."

Su Churan had not yet answered, Bai Youzhe had already interrupted him. "Forget over. Since your identity is unusual, you shouldn't be with someone else who has nothing to do with Tianshuang Palace. It'll harm someone else."

Su Churan nodded. However, he hurriedly said, "But .. I must not go to the Luo Clan! Young Master, let me wait for my friend to come. I haven't been able to thank him."

"Is that important?"

"Dad said that I shouldn't be ungrateful after someone helped me. I owe him, so I have to wait for him to come back!"

"What if he doesn't come back?"

"He'll be back!"

"No!"

"He will definitely be back!"

Bai Youzhe had almost run out of patience handling the stubborn little brat. The one who can escape from Linghun Palace, is definitely not an ordinary person. He must have a sneaky plan in his head to use Su Churan.

"Go or you won't see your father."

"My father is alive? Where is he?" Su Churan was flabbergasted and instantly tugged at Bai Youzhe's robe to immediately tell her where her father was and how he was doing.

Bai Youzhe regretted lying. But he could only continue, "That's why I came to you. You need to get out of here as soon as you can before you're found."

Su Churan nodded quickly. Bai Youzhe had been carrying one smaller horse, specially picking up Su Churan and dragging her behind her horse. He directly told Su Churan to go up.

"Young Master, what about my savior?" asked Su Churan who was already sitting on the horse.

Bai Youzhe thought for a moment. In the end, he had an idea in his head. He asked Su Churan to tell him where they had been staying before, then went to the inn.

Leaving a letter on the bed, he went through the window and drove his horse to Su Churan. He should not waste too much time just for the crybaby girl.

On the other hand, Gu Yuena was still hiding from Duke Gu's forces. From what he heard, everyone in the residence already knew that he was disappearing and was searching.

She's astonished. Is he so valuable that the army itself must search?

Whereas in the residence, he was no different from the junkyard in the backyard.

Gu Yuena fled to the inn to look for Su Churan and took her away again. However, when he arrived at the inn room, everything was empty.

Leave only a piece of paper lying on the bed. It was just paper, but it had interesting contents.

"Three soul stones?" Gu Yuena pulled her eyebrows. The soul stone .. he knows very little. Who exactly gave him this kind of nagging information?

Is there anything special about the three soul stones?

Gu Yuena kept the letter and left. Having not found Su Churan, he did not think much more. It was possible that the person who gave him the letter was the one who took Su Churan away.

Three soul stones .. three interesting words that made him curious ....

Gu Yuena had no idea, the letter left behind by the "dragon" which she did not know would give her many changes that led her to two different lives at once.

For the sake of three soul stones, someone gave up getting engaged to a bastard. For the sake of the three soul stones, someone let his body be beaten to death and crossed the second life, then returned to the time of his first death.

And, three soul stones had also brought him before the dragon a few years later ....

...----------------...

So, they should have met since childhood ....

As Luo Yi explained in Chapter 39, Bai Youzhe was 13 and Gu Yuena was 10. Su Churan is automatically younger between 8 or 9 years old. That's the setting of this chapter.

For the next extra chapter still tells about the past/flashback. Stay tuned~
