Dance Of The Phoenix
66. Not good for the heart

The guild alchemist became desolate once night fell. It was so lonely that no one was aware that a black figure slipped into the guild area and entered a room upstairs through a window. His movements were fast like shadows.

The figure landed right in a room with a fireplace still actively flaring. The dark room he still remembered so much even though three months had passed.

Right, it had been almost 5 months since Bai Youzhe left from alchemist. He left not only because of a casual call, but a problem that he did not want to mention.

Only the ants were looking for trouble on him, there was no need to involve anyone. Especially the red-spirited women who fell asleep on a warm bed.

Although it was dark, Bai Youzhe could still see in the darkness. He walked up to the woman wrapped in a blanket, and sat by the bedside looking at the sweet figure that was sleeping.

"It turns out you didn't run away." Bai Youzhe smiled as she combed through Gu Yuena's beautiful hair. "I miss you."

He wondered what else this naughty cat would show.

Bai Youzhe briefly checked Gu Yuena's pulse, making sure that she was fine and that the fire poison did not hurt her. After believing that the girl did not suffer any injuries or the like, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Because, every time they met after a long separation, the woman was always injured. First it whipped people, then it poisoned people, then the fire poison devoured it, then it was injured because of the test, the last meeting before it was so chaotic.

He got used to it.

His arrival this time aside to make sure Gu Yuena was fine was to remove the mind seal he had planted. Although the effect was not so strong, it must have been annoying. He did not want Gu Yuena to continue to be trapped in the mind seal that he made himself. Enough until the fire poison relief pill is obtained.

He placed his finger on Gu Yuena's forehead, pulled the thought seal from Gu Yuena's head and smashed it without making the girl wake up.

"Rest well."

Bai Youzhe thought he should go and see the girl tomorrow. He did not want to disturb his little girl's dreams.

But just as Bai Youzhe was about to leave, the female eyelid opened, revealing her beautiful pair of red irises that had just woken up.

"Bai Youzhe?" Gu Yuena rubbed her eyes, then clearly saw the silent man on the spot.

"Did I wake you?" Bai Youzhe asked, somewhat feeling guilty.

Gu Yuena shook her head. He realized something to the point of making him really wake up from his sleeping position, even though it was a bit late, "That's really you?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Not a dream?" Gu Yuena tried to make sure.

"Did something happen?" Bai Youzhe asked back.

Gu Yuena looked at it for a while, then sighed and leaned on the head of the bed. Lately because he felt guilty, he had dreamed of Bai Youzhe—, if not as often, but including often.

Including nightmares, anyway.

Even just now he had dreamed of the man to the point of barely believing that he was awake now.

"Someone bothering you?" Bai Youzhe this time could not guess the contents of the girl's mind.

"Do I look like I can be bullied easily? At least this person in front of me is disturbing." He looked at Bai Youzhe for a while, then turned his face away. "Thank you."

"What spirit possessed you?" Bai Youzhe could not believe that suddenly the girl thanked him for no reason. What dream was he last night?

Gu Yuena clucked bitterly, then looked at the man lazily. He patiently explained, "The pill I ate a few months ago, shouldn't be an ordinary pill. The price would also not be as cheap as magic essence. I'm grateful for that."

Bai Youzhe looked thoughtful. He brought his body closer to Gu Yuena, looking at the girl who was nervous. "Who told you?"

How could he guess that far? Though Gu Yuena was clearly using the phrase 'assumption'.

"Nothing." Gu Yuena lied. He has promised not to tell the perpetrator of the leak of information.

Bai Youzhe slightly smiled. "Sometimes you look like a reliable liar, but it's actually really bad for me."

"What is a compliment or a insult?" Gu Yuena's face turned flat.

"Because you're so protective of her, then I won't find out anymore." Her nana never changes, but she likes it.

Gu Yuena's view of Bai Youzhe had changed after months of thought and confusion. He thought that the handsome man was not as bad as he had imagined.

Well, although there's a bad part that's very annoying, but the rest isn't that bad. He did not say that Bai Youzhe was a good person, you know.

But given his identity ....

"You're going to save the enemy's life, you're gonna regret it." Gu Yuena said without taking her eyes off.

"If the enemy is you, I have no regrets."

"When you clearly know I don't have a long life." Gu Yuena sighed. He's less than a year and a half away. How sad that is.

"I'll save you." Bai Youzhe promised. He even said it to himself repeatedly. Whatever happens, he will save Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena wanted to say that only dragon blood could save her, but she undoed that intention. That's not the way to face his benefactor.

"I hope so." Gu Yuena could only reveal another sentence— at origin. He himself did not know why the words came out of his mouth.

"What is an expression of peace?" Bai Youzhe looked very calm facing Gu Yuena.

"Pronounce like that." Gu Yuena lowered her head, looking at her fingers squeezing the blanket in her grasp. He looks anxious, "To be honest .. I 'little' miss you ... maybe?"

"really?" Bai Youzhe smiled happily. This was the first time Gu Yuena showed her concern. Bai Youzhe's heart felt turbulent.

"No. I remind you, you'll regret it." Gu Yuena actually did not want to give anyone hope. But he can no longer control himself.

"I would regret choosing to leave, just because of your short life." Bai Youzhe touched Gu Yuena's face, and rubbed it gently.

Gu Yuena felt that something was tickling her, but clearly she was hugging the blanket tightly. Bai Youzhe's gentle touch made her feel a strange thing.

It seems he has not fully woken up. Come realize!

"Kiss me."

Bai Youzhe was stunned. Was that really Gu Yuena who asked? He's not drunk, is he?

"You're serious?" tanyakanya.

Gu Yuena blinked her eyes. "Of course." He felt crazy after saying it. Suddenly flashed and just said. But he himself did not deny that he wanted it.

"Itu—"

Gu Yuena did not have time to complete the sentence when her lips were silenced by the hot kiss from Bai Youzhe. He was cornered at the head of the bed, while his distance with Bai Youzhe began to be perfectly erased.

Brought about by the burning hot atmosphere, Gu Yuena wrapped her arms around Bai Youzhe's neck and deepened the kiss to become even hotter.

He felt the room temperature become hot. Bai Youzhe's gentle touch all over her body, added to the level of passion until she involuntarily clasped the man's shoulder.

Bai Youzhe raised her upper leg, so Gu Yuena looked taller and slightly lowered her head.

The Gu Yuena took off a kiss to take a breath, staring at Bai Youzhe's night blue iris which left her trapped even further. He doesn't know what he's thinking. Completely fucked.

While Bai Youzhe was struck by doubt. He wanted this relationship to be further, but he could not impose a will.

"Have we ever done that?" Gu Yuena asked. He wanted to know what happened that night.

"I don't use drunk people." Bai Youzhe told the truth. There was no way he could keep hiding it as a weapon.

Gu Yuena was silent for a while. "So .. is this the first time?" He did not look upset, but confused.

Bai Youzhe smiled, then gave a gentle kiss on Gu Yuena's lips. But it didn't last too long, as he took it off again as cover.

"I don't use children either."

"Little boy?"

"For me, you're still too small." Bai Youzhe smiled as she touched Gu Yuena's tiny nose.

It was a bit annoyed to say little boy, but Gu Yuena showed no anger at all. It just looks ordinary.

"Then, how are you gonna handle it?" Gu Yuena felt that something was standing out down there.

Bai Youzhe's smile became wry. "It happened a few times. I can handle it."

Gu Yuena nodded slowly. He seems more obedient than in previous days. Even when Bai Youzhe raised her body to be laid down and enveloped, she still did not react, completely becoming a docile cat.

"I'll see you tomorrow." Bai Youzhe got out of bed, then left with mixed feelings.

It's happening again.

While Gu Yuena was still immersed in her chaotic fantasies. When he realized, he immediately hit a scene.

"Oh, yesampun ...." Gu Yuena groaned and pulled her blanket up to her head, realizing what she had just done. Even his feet could not stand still kicking the air.

What did he say just now? His mouth had just spoken of an ambiguous thing that was completely outside of his mind. He feels insane!

Since when did he and Bai Youzhe have such a relationship?

What is their status now?

Ah, Gu Yuena did not understand at all!

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The day after that strange night, Gu Yuena became even more quiet than before. He avoided eye contact with Bai Youzhe, only following her behind like a chick.

Even when their affairs had been finished in the alchemist guild and returned to Wirefall City, Gu Yuena was still silent without saying a word. After all, he was still too surprised.

Autumn in Wyvernia is beautiful. This was the first time Gu Yuena had left the guild after many months of cultivation alone and closed. He felt new to see the world after a long time when he saw yellow leaves falling from his tree.

"When are you on your birthday?" Bai Youzhe suddenly asked.

"I think you know a lot of things." Gu Yuena finally spoke after a long moment of silence. His mind was completely clear when breathing the air of freedom.

"The Duke's residence has never celebrated your birthday, not even all the servants know when you were born."

"Isn't it really sad? I almost forgot my birthday ...." Gu Yuena suddenly fell silent, as if remembering something.

The shadow of her father's death being hit by a car while picking her up at school with a cake starts haunting her. It was his 8th birthday.

The sound of such a real collision in the ears bothered him, making Gu Yuena spontaneously close her eyes.

He opened his eyes shortly after, "It's better not to remember, it's better."

Gu Yuena chose to ignore her own birthday for many years. It will only make him sad.

There were times when Gu Yuan intended to celebrate a birthday or just give him a gift, but he always refused everything reeking of birthday gifts, as if traumatized by his own birthday. His father, whom he loved the most, died that day, while his birthday became part of the tombstone.

Bai Youzhe did not bring up any more. It seems Gu Yuena's birthday is a sad thing. Just follow his will.

"Want to find entertainment?" Bai Youzhe thought Gu Yuena needed entertainment to avoid being so moody.

"I don't know what entertainment is suitable other than hitting people." Gu Yuena let out a long breath. His life is not so good.

"Then we focus on going to the forest to hunt, then going to the black market to meet someone. That's what you want, too."

"Even if I don't want to, I have no choice but to follow, right?"

Actually it is not necessary, because the seal has been removed. But Bai Youzhe forgot that Gu Yuena had not known about it yet. Will the girl leave after knowing it?

"What would you do if I removed the mind seal?" Bai Youzhe tested it.

"Go back to the academy. I miss my teacher, the crazy wine junkie." After saying so, Gu Yuena's gaze was directed in another direction towards something that caught her attention.

Bai Youzhe's automatic gaze followed the direction on Gu Yuena. At that moment, his face turned cold when he saw the figure of a black-robed man coming towards them.

Bai Youzhe's two night blue irises collided with the man's pair of jet black irises. Both cold, equally threatening. No one can stand to see it.

It was Yang Xinyuan!

"Miss, let's just go, yuk." Xiao Hei suddenly appeared out of nowhere tugging at the end of Gu Yuena's red dress.

Gu Yuena looked down, then brought Xiao Hei to her carriage. He smiled wryly, "I can't."

Gu Yuena's gaze was directed at Bai Youzhe and Yang Xinyuan who seemed to be 'falling in love at first sight' which made her claustrophobic. Oh, my God, that cold look. It was like there was a lightning strike between the two.

"Nana, long time no see." Yang Xinyuan greeted familiarly, ignoring Bai Youzhe's troubled gaze as if it was going to pierce her.

"Nana? Only I can call him that." Bai Youzhe instantly interrupted the man and pulled Gu Yuena's waist to get close to him. Gu Yuena could not get close to that person.

"But Nana agreed." Yang Xinyuan looked at Bai Youzhe hand that pulled Gu Yuena sharply.

Bai Youzhe glanced at Gu Yuena. "You agree?"

Gu Yuena felt these two people were troubled. If he answered 'yes', then Bai Youzhe would definitely go berserk. Whereas if he answered 'no', I don't know what Yang Xinyuan would do.

"Yang Xinyuan, why are you here?" So Gu Yuena chose to ignore that trap question.

"Some time ago I went back to the academy. Yan Shuiyin is very worried about you. So sent me to look for you because there's been no news in the last few months. I thought you were in the Capital."

"It was like that at first. But, there's been some tragedy." Gu Yuena had no intention of explaining in detail.

"Are you hurt?" Yang Xinyuan looked worried for Gu Yuena. His flat face had little emotion when he saw the woman.

"No ...." Gu Yuena felt her back cool down instantly. He glanced at Bai Youzhe, then spoke quickly. "I'll be back at the academy soon to see Master, take it easy."

"I'll drive you." Yang Xinyuan was seen glancing towards Bai Youzhe, gesturing to release Gu Yuena.

But Bai Youzhe remained cold. "He's with me. I'll drive him."

"Our outsiders are not allowed to come to the territory of Grand Elder Yan." Yang Xinyuan gave a warning.

"I am also a student of Yuansu Academy and was once in a dorm with Nana, excluding outsiders." Bai Youzhe replied with facts.

"Me and Nana were in the same inner courtyard region and were training together for the past few months."

"I've known him for over a year."

"But my time with him was more. I know him well."

"How can you suppose that you have more time than me?"

"He told me." Yang Xinyuan replied so lightly that it made Bai Youzhe almost believe her.

Bai Youzhe glanced at Gu Yuena with a strange look. Gu Yuena told me? Even the woman never told him anything.

But of course, Bai Youzhe did not want to lose. "I've slept—aww!"

Gu Yuena suddenly just stepped on Bai Youzhe's foot so hard. His legs were already like steel, so hard that Bai Youzhe complained in pain and stopped her sentence.

Gu Yuena said with an uneasy feeling, "The three of us left together. To be honest I can go alone, but if you guys want to come along. I can only remind you not to make a fuss."

Gu Yuena apologized to Bai Youzhe inwardly for stepping on her excessively. Who's wrong to leak that?

As for Yang Xinyuan, why did the man exaggerate words to make Bai Youzhe upset? Can you be cold as usual?

If only he could leave them both ....
