Dance Of The Phoenix
68. Snow Cat

"Young Master, they found out that you're in Wyvernia. Should we prevent them at the border?" Bao Jun gave Bai Youzhe a report in the middle of a silent night.

Hei Changge and hei had secretly infiltrated the city to meet their master in order to report on the matter that had to be resolved.

Bai Youzhe was not at the inn, but at the outskirts of the city so that if at any time the enemy approached, he would not involve Gu Yuena.

Hearing the reports from the two people, his expression did not change at all as if he was already looking forward to it. "They're in a hurry."

"Lately, news of the dragon blood had appeared and made them act faster. The clan alliance already knew that the Young Master was the owner of the dragon blood. Although they had not recognized the identity of the Young Master for sure, they still could not remain silent."

"Let them come. I'll welcome them myself." Bai Youzhe smiled coldly. There was a murder in his eyes.

"Then, Miss Gu ...."

"He's going back to the academy. The timing is perfect." He also had to be wary of Yang Xinyuan at all times. It was not that the man was going to steal Gu Yuena from him, but regarding the man's unusual background and identity.

"Have you investigated that person clearly?" Bai Youzhe asked.

Hei Changge replied, "The person called Young Master is very difficult to guess. Other than being a foreign guest of the Great Elder of Yuansu Palace, there was no information about him further. Chu Xin and the others were still investigating."

Bao Jun continued, "Then for Linghun Palace. But lately we have seen many people of Linghun Hall occupying many cities in the two empires."

"There are some places that are thought to have some connection with the Linghun Hall, but cannot investigate it more deeply due to the great influence. The person behind it was extremely vigilant, as well as making them unable to divulge anything."

Linghun Hall ....

What did they do for Linghun Palace?

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Gu Yuena awakens from fainting after being caught and given sedatives. It was actually unnecessary, but the knights were too wary of their captives that they had to give him a sedative.

When she woke up, Gu Yuena realized that she was in a cell. The stone floor that was made into his bed was extremely cold.

The sedative actually does not affect him so much that he only fainted for a while. But it was enough to make his head feel heavy and dizzy when he woke up.

Gu Yuena held her head while rising from a sleeping position. He looked around. On all four sides there was only a cube-shaped prison cell as if he was a sheep ready to be served.

He remembered from the information obtained about the residence of Marquess Gill. It was an open secret that the tyrant marquess was infatuated with monsters. He was a summoner, and had conducted many trials to subdue ancient monsters.

Ancient monsters were monsters with a level of strength exceeding ordinary monsters. Their existence is extremely rare, or even barely noticeable. Usually they inhabit an extreme region that cannot be reached by humans.

Marquess Gill is known to have an ancient monster inside her residence. The monsters are usually fed in the form of living humans, where the humans are the ones who harass the residence of marquess Gill or workers who make mistakes.

That's why, the remaining prison in this place is so empty. Because they have become the food of ancient monsters within 24 hours.

"Bad place." Gu Yuena clucked, then stood up while looking around. If you look at it based on the humidity of the air as well as the mossy stone walls, it looks like it's in the basement.

Very reasonable.

While circulating his gaze, Gu Yuena felt a strange presence. It was as if a pair of eyes were looking at him like they were going to hole him.

He looked to the side. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw a snow-white creature over 2 meters in size standing outside the cell. Iris aqua the creature looked sharp, as well as looking at Gu Yuena with curious narrowed eyes. She is very beautiful with her fur.

Was this the snow cat that Xiao Hei said?

"You ...." Gu Yuena approached him slowly.

Their place was bounded by thick cells, while the neck of the beautiful creature was chained with very long chains and fused with the wall.

One thing flashed through Gu Yuena's brain when she heard her voice. The cat is a female cat.

"You're a female?" Gu Yuena asked to be sure.

"You're a female too." The cat nodded flatly. His tone was a bit upset.

"How did you get there?" Gu Yuena asked again.

"I should have asked you that." He was silent for a moment. "I won't be merciful even if you understand what I'm saying."

Gu Yuena narrowed her eyes so sliced. "Very cruel. I don't guarantee you'll be out either, you know."

"There are so many people who came with the same intention."

Gu Yuena sat on the stone floor, looking at the poor creature fearlessly. It made the snow cat wonder. Does the pressure not scare the man? Usually people who come immediately faint once they see it.

"You know Xiao Hei?" Gu Yuena was straight to the point.

"Who's Xiao Hei?"

"The black cat that he says is one of a kind with you. He asked me to come." Gu Yuena did not explain much. The snow cat should know what that means, right?

And sure enough, the snow cat's gaze instantly turned to surprise. He approached Gu Yuena's cell, taking a closer look.

"I don't know what your relationship is with her, I just don't like to see my little cat watching other females. As an owner, of course I'm jealous." Gu Yuena was acting arrogant.

"How can his name be Xiao Hei?" The snow cat asked, so curious as to how the name of the black cat became Xiao Hei and had this kind of strange owner.

No wonder, he felt the black cat's breath on the human body. The man also understood what he was saying.

"I gave him a name." Gu Yuena smiled widely. "Then, I will also call you by the name I gave you. What about Xiao Bai?"

"Hey, I never agreed to be your owner!"

"You have to agree, 'cause I'm gonna get you out. First, you have to tell me what kind of monster you are and how to be here, why Xiao Hei can be a kitten, and what your relationship is."

The snow cat was stunned by the number of questions asked. It looks like he's being interrogated.

Unfortunately, snow cats have no other choice.

"We do have the same race, but a different kind. I am an ancient monster in the northern mountains guarding an ice jade gem, a snow cat. While the black one is a monster from the underworld, a hell cat."

"The underworld?"

"The underworld is the world of demons and races other than humans. Not only were there demons, dragons and phoenixes also coming from there. Those three etinities were the strongest rulers in the underworld. The hell cat is a phoenix guardian creature that has been asleep for thousands of years. Unfortunately, the phoenix had disappeared, causing chaos in the underworld that left the hell cat thrown in this world. At least, I heard it while making an arrest against a demonic monster. The hell cat belongs to the demon monster, because its aura is polluted by the demon race."

"Is there a demon in this world?" There may be gods too!

"If you know the legend of the lost phoenix, you'll find the story of the hell cat and the devil."

"So, how's your relationship with Xiao Hei?"

"The cat of hell is my prisoner, because he is a demon monster. But it ended when some humans attacked the eastern mountains to obtain ice jade. The hell cat whose power I sealed was wounded and gone, while I was caught." The snow cat was silent for a while. "Unexpectedly, he sent a human to set me free."

"My Xiao Hei is indeed very kind. It doesn't make sense that you're addressing a demon monster." Gu Yuena snorted.

"What are your plans to get out of here? In front there are over 30 skilled humans, there's no way you can get out alive."

Gu Yuena smiled mysteriously. "Aren't there you? Promise me you'll be my prettiest pet and become a obedient little cat named Xiao Bai."

"No."

"Only I can get you out."

"What difference does it make if you end up being a human pet?"

"At least you get freedom, not tied up like a lamb to be slaughtered." Gu Yuena was insinuating.

This female cat is quite chatty and fierce, but easy to talk to. Exactly as Xiao Hei—the fierce cat said.

"Already agreed, you'll be my pet." Gu Yuena immediately stood up, like she felt something. But his calmness covered the visible vigilance.

"You ...."

"Some people will come making offerings to certain ancient monsters. I can't stand idly by when I'm about to be eaten by the perpetrator of my own catfight." Gu Yuena took the wire hanging on the cell wall and broke it into a konde puncture.

Since he did not have a konde puncture, he could only use the available wire for free.

The snow cat looked at Gu Yuena's movements which were somewhat strange to him. "The cell lock is made of steel that is difficult to destroy. You won't be able to open ...."

The snow cat did not continue his speech anymore when he saw the large padlock that locked the cell open with just a small wire.

"Is this the strength of steel?" Gu Yuena snorted, throwing the huge padlock just like that onto the ground and opening the cell door. "We need to hurry."

That cell had a special effect that made his spiritual power shut down. It was fortunate that Gu Yuena was an expert at breaking locks as good as any key made.

He went to the white cat, then used his spiritual power to melt the chains that bound the cat's neck perfectly. The snow cat could only gawk helplessly.

That easy?

"Good timing." Gu Yuena smiled obliquely, sensing some people starting to arrive.

"I haven't exercised in a long time." Gu Yuena stretched her muscles as she advanced to face them.

The knights put on a watchful attitude and brandished a sword at Gu Yuena. When Gu Yuena advanced with the fire whip that appeared in her hand, they immediately ran attacking.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Yang Xinyuan and Xiao Hei were still faithfully waiting outside the gate without changing their positions. It had already been a few hours, and the day would be dawn, but Gu Yuena still had not appeared.

Did something happen to her?

"Miss ...." Xiao Hei still wished for the woman to come right before the time bomb holding her exploded.

He was so scared!

Right after thinking that, suddenly the two different types of creatures reacted and changed the look to be serious.

There was a huge fluctuation of energy around the residence.

Is that Gu Yuena?

Explosions blared accompanied by a large fire from under the residence. The fire spread very quickly and caused a lot of panic within the residence.

The flame was so bright, it illuminated the darkness and enlivened the silence of the night. A red-winged figure appeared in the air alongside a small, white-colored cat in his hand.

Gu Yuena in the air looked at his work happily.

This is called burning.

By the way, the marquess is not at the residence. It would be difficult for him to ask a lot of things and solve the problem.

A fire at the marquess residence caused mass panic. There were many water-elemented cultivators trying to extinguish it, but the fire was so hard to extinguish that they had to call the attendant to help with the blackout.

The news was known to Bai Youzhe who was still in the alliance. Suddenly, he remembered Gu Yuena.

Without saying anything, Bai Youzhe spurred her horse towards the inn. If it had been like this, the marquess residence would have definitely investigated further and scraped the city down to its roots. If Gu Yuena found those people, Gu Yuena could be in danger.

But when he reached the inn and went to Gu Yuena's room, he did not find anyone present in that room.

Where did the girl go in times like these?

"Young Master, Miss Gu is seen at the marquess residence." One of the members of the assassin alliance came to tell after seeing what happened in that place. He had the suspicion that Gu Yuena did it, but he did not dare to assume it himself.

"alone?" ask Bai Youzhe.

"alone. But ...." The man hung up his words, looking somewhat doubtful. "I saw Yang Xinyuan on set."

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"Why not just kill them?" The snow cat looked at Gu Yuena with a bored look.

The reason, the woman continued to flap her wings while avoiding the archer attack down there. There were some people who were flying after him.

"Want so. But it'll only add to my brother's problems." Gu Yuena continued to focus on her direction.

"No. You don't have to."

"I didn't mess around when I said I was gonna throw you out of here. Remember, you're hurt, and you'll die if you get into my fire." Gu Yuena threatened in an annoyed tone.

"Then you're gonna be so guilty of hell cats."

"Xiao Hey. His name is Xiao Hei." Gu Yuena glanced at the cute cat rather cynically. But suddenly her heart became flabby when she saw that beautiful and cute appearance.

Ah, why should there be a cat as thick as this! He cannot be angry ....

"You're done." Mana is the Wyvernian way of pronouncing qi.

"Oh. That means we'll be down soon." Gu Yuena was still so calm until now.

And sure enough, the qi in his body was depleted due to the consumption of the huge fire wings. The fire wings on his back simply disappeared, whereas Gu Yuena directly landed on the highest part of the burning building.

Some people surrounded him both the archer that was on the roof as well as some wind mage in the air.

"Now it's my turn, I'll get you out of here." The snow cat volunteered, but Gu Yuena ignored him.

"Isn't it just a few knights?" Gu Yuena took out her whip once more. He had exhausted the remaining qi in his body.

"Hard-headed." Snow cat twisting eyeballs.

"We can teleport after warming up." Gu Yuena assured. His body's Qi of greeting would not be completely depleted. As long as there is still residual, it can recover qi as long as its use is not dry.

Don't you just have to buy time? That was what he had done earlier to activate teleportation.

They started attacking. Without changing position, Gu Yuena swung the whip, slashing at everyone and bouncing the arrows flying towards her.

He made the fire grow bigger and crushed all the flames that were burning towards them. The territory of Gu Yuena's scope had turned into fire.

The fire he created caused great damage to the building. Several pillars collapsed, as well as the roof where Gu Yuena was.

The collapsed roof brought some soldiers to fall into the flames below. While the wind mages were flying, crashing would whip Gu Yuena who was too fast to handle.

They all lose instantly.

"Am I not great?" Gu Yuena scowled towards the snow cat, intending to show off.

While the snow cat seemed pensive for a moment, before finally realizing something was wrong.

"Would your teleportation be used?" ask the snow cat.

Gu Yuena replied lightly, "A little more."

"Death ...."

Right after the snow cat complained of resignation, the part of the roof that Gu Yuena stepped on seemed to have collapsed. They fell into the flames right then and there.

Gu Yuena did not release the snow cat in her arms. Penetrating a burst of flames, it continued to fall down and through the two collapsed floors simultaneously.

He should have moved out of position earlier so that something like this would not happen.

Right now, Gu Yuena let her body fall while waiting for the teleportation to be ready for use. A little more ... he could be directly outside the siege gate.

When his figure was about to fall hit the ruins on the ground floor, that was when teleportation was ready to be used.

Gu Yuena instantly used the last of her strength to escape, but suddenly there were some ruins coming from above.

The speed of his hand had not been used to dodge or use teleportation together.

Right at the same time, a black shadow flashed and grabbed his body into the air and shot rapidly into the sky past the flames. The ruins from above split apart just like that would be a black shadow that carried Gu Yuena. The blazing fire exploded right then and there.

Everyone is panicking. They searched where the arsonist was, but found nothing around the blaze.

Obviously they saw the foreign woman fall and will be affected by the explosion.

Did he die of his body?

As for the figure sought, it was in the sky with the black-robed man as well as the two black and white cats hiding.

Gu Yuena, who had previously closed her eyes, opened her eyes to see the mess she was making.

Very messed up ....

He saw the man who saved him. Looking at that pair of jet-black irises, he sighed.

"Nearly enough."

Yan Xinyuan looked at Gu Yuena who looked relieved in her arms. This woman had exhausted a lot of qi as well as dumped qi for a failed teleportation.

"We're going straight to the academy, now." Yang Xinyuan said without rebuttal.

"Eh?" Gu Yuena realized, that Yang Xinyuan was flying so quickly that she took her away.

He should have gone to the inn! They've already gone so far!

While down there, they had no idea that Bai Youzhe with eyes as sharp as her eagle was looking at the man carrying the girl clearly. His gaze remained flat as usual.

He looked towards the fire-filled marquess residence, seemingly with no intention to chase after the two of them. Her night blue iris became dim instantly.

"So you chose to go."
