Dance Of The Phoenix
77. Xiao Lin's

"Did Tianshuang Palace bring the blue-sliced man and look like a living statue? I mean ... well, he's a slightly boring guy, so that's the only trait I can say." Gu Yuena directly asked just like that to let go of her curiosity.

The Zhou brothers looked at each other. Blue sliced man ....

"As far as I know, such a trait only belongs to the Bai Family." Zhou Wei said so.

"Well, he is indeed from the Bai Family."

"Did Miss know him? What's name?" The woman who chewed chicken asked curiously. At one time, there were only two people surnamed Bai in the Palace.

"I asked, is there such a person in your inn?" Gu Yuena refused to give her name. He just wanted to make sure that he saw Bai Youzhe or just his illusion.

However, the Zhou brothers fell silent while looking at each other with a strange look.

A guy like that?

Does a certain Miss have no idea who she's talking about? They themselves did not dare to talk about it.

Zhou Wei said with a heavy heart, "Miss, there is no one else with blue slices other than the Bai Family who is in the Palace. Although they wanted to, they couldn't come either."

"They?"

Zhou Ying continued, "There is only the former King Bai and the present King Bai."

"King?" Gu Yuena was surprised. Although Yan Shuiyin had already said the leak, still she was still in disbelief. Until finally these children who leaked everything.

If Bai Youzhe was in the Palace, then who did he see? Is that just an illusion? What's wrong with her?

"Unschoolers often meet with His Majesty. We only met once before going here. So don't know the full story." Zhou Wei continued timidly. It seemed like a certain King was so terrifying that it frightened these children.

Gu Yuena glanced at Zhou Tao who looked extremely calm without saying anything. His attitude reminded him of someone.

Never mind, maybe it's just his feelings.

"I'm sorry if I was being disrespectful. I really didn't know he was your King." Gu Yuena felt bad. He had just mentioned that the King of Tianshuang Palace was a living statue and a boring man. He felt like disappearing.

"What's wrong, it's only natural that many don't know." Zhou Wei.

"But it seems like Miss recognized Your Majesty." Zhou Ying suddenly felt curious. Zhou Wei nodded at his sister's statement.

Gu Yuena's smile froze instantly. It was hard to explain, moreover Yun Qiao and Ru Meng were also seen looking at him curiously. Even Zhou Tao also glanced at him, although his face remained flat.

Gu Yuena wanted to disappear.

The woman coughed for a while and immediately took a drink to cover her clearly exposed panic. He looked towards the designer who pretended not to hear, then handed over the catalog immediately as a diversion.

"I choose everything." Gu Yuena said rashly, making Yun Qiao widen his eyes right then and there. This is karma.

The designer smiled. "It's an honor to get customers like you."

"Then I go first. There are a few things to take care of in preparation for next week. Don't forget my appearance with Luye Palace." Gu Yuena shifted the topic quickly and blurred just like that while waving her hands.

The panic was very clear.

The Yun Qiao and Ru Meng that were left behind instantly felt awkward. They smiled at the three men, then left immediately after saying goodbye.

What happened to Gu Yuena?

The Zhou brothers blinked their eyes, then exchanged glances.

"Miss Gu knows His Majesty very well." Zhou Wei came to a conclusion.

"It seems like their relationship is very complicated" Zhou Ying said. Even to the point of saying that His Majesty they are boring men and living statues.

"So, this is rare."

"Don't know how His Majesty would react if he heard this."

While Zhou Tao who had been silent since then only listened. I don't know what was on his mind, until his ears looked red with a typical cold face.

To avoid unnecessary questions, Gu Yuena went to look for information regarding Yinyang Palace and her brother. Originally Ru Meng wanted to come along, but Gu Yuena threatened him to remain at the inn.

Until finally, the woman was in the inn where the representative of Yinyang Palace was located. He hoped either Gu Yesha or Gu Yihan would be there.

Gu Yuena closed her eyes, looking for the familiar breath that belonged to the Gu brothers. But in the midst of that quest, he found a foreign breath that was different from ordinary humans.

Gu Yuena opened her eyes, displaying a pair of red irises full of curiosity. He found a trace of Gu Yihan's breath, but the man was not inside the inn.

He thought, he should look for a foreign trail close enough around here. The aura is very strange.

Gu Yuena's footsteps followed the direction of the strange aura that only she could sense.

It's just in a place. A place full of trees, but he was sure this was not a forest. It is a greenhouse plantation where many medicinal plants and rare plants are available.

Only, this greenhouse is very large with a forest atmosphere. It is usually used by certain doctors or alchemists. Yuansu Palace had a place like this, that was why he knew when he entered it.

Whether the owner is there or not.

Gu Yuena followed a strange aura that made her heart uneasy. Like the aura of someone who was injured.

He was entering the greenhouse. The aura was getting closer the more he stepped. Until he finally found the smell of blood that made him stop his steps.

That was someone who was hurt.

Gu Yuena quickened her pace. As his path meandered to the other side, behind the plant shelf, he found a small monster lying on the ground.

Gu Yuena was silent for a while.

A low-level monster?

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

On the crowded city road, the Zhou brothers and their cousins walked towards the direction of the inn. They suddenly got the order back as soon as possible after ordering clothes.

But in the middle of the journey, suddenly, Zhou Tao was in a place without making any movement. That made the Zhou brothers wonder.

"Unschooler, are you okay?" Zhou Wei asked as he approached.

Zhou Tao looked down. His pair of black irises suddenly flashed in blue and disappeared instantly. If the Zhou brothers saw this, they would definitely be very surprised.

When the blue color disappeared, Zhou Tao's body immediately made the Zhou brothers have to clean it up. The man looked absentmindedly for a moment.

"Union ...." Zhou Ying was so anxious.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Wei asked once more.

Zhou Tao closed his eyes, then massaged his dizzy head. "Come ...." He suddenly recalled something, but immediately changed his expression to normal, "We better get back now."

"Looks like you just had something." Zhou Wei spoke recklessly making Zhou Tao hit his head—pelan.

"Ah, it seems like our fellow students have returned." Zhou Wei chuckled softly. Zhou Ying did not understand what had just happened.

Right, what happened to Zhou Tao?

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

A small white snake with beautiful skin like a rare jade. He has some blue on his head, with perfectly closed eyes and injured body parts.

"Did he die?" Gu Yuena frowned. He did not feel the breath of this creature, but his aura was so dense. Feels familiar.

The next second, the creature's tail slightly moved making Gu Yuena's expression change. The creature is not dead, but dying.

Some low-level creatures are indeed likely to come to the greenhouse for shelter. Usually it happens when they are being chased by other monsters and get hurt.

Gu Yuena had found similar things in the palace greenhouse, but most of them died when found.

Gu Yuena touched the little monster. There wasn't much blood, it was just that the monster seemed to be extremely vulnerable and had internal injuries.

Xiao Bai suddenly came out giving a warning, making Gu Yuena startled instantly.

"Wait a minute, miss, don't come near! He's no ordinary monster!" Xiao Bai immediately put on a cautious stance upon seeing the helpless monster.

"Then?" ask Gu Yuena.

Xiao Hei appeared to ease Xiao Bai's explosion which was sensitive to underworld beings. The black cat immediately explained as it covered Xiao Bai's mouth using his feet.

"From his form and aura, it seemed like he was an underworld being. I've seen, he's more like a dragon."

"Dragon? Is there a dragon here?" Gu Yuena wondered.

"You're even a phoenix." Xiao Bai looked at it flatly.

"That's different." Because he only has phoenix blood.

"Either." Xiao Bai did not want to lose.

"Phoenix is immortal, then what am I dying for?"

Xiao Bai fell silent, but Xiao Hei continued, "Miss, you're not dying."

"I'm an undead, you know!" Gu Yuena felt a bit irritated. "That's it, then what if he's a dragon? Can he kill me with that little, dying body?"

"Xiao Bai is just overkill." Xiao Hei sneered at Xiao Bai beside him. The female immediately snorted in annoyance.

"But who knew that he was just pretending? Miss is very special, what if she wants to attract Miss's attention and devour Miss like a wild animal. What if Miss gets hurt?" Xiao Bai did not agree that he was overreacting. His fear of the monsters of the underworld was very clear.

That dragon .. shouldn't exist in this world. Just like the existence of Xiao Hei, they had to be secured for the sake of human survival.

"I'm just worried about Miss. Don't argue like that day." Xiao Bai raised his tone. But it just makes it look cute but chatty.

Gu Yuena nodded in understanding. Never mind, just a monster. He did not want to add to the problem just because of an existence that should not exist.

The woman went by and ignored the wounded monster. That made Xiao Bai sigh in relief.

But not far away Gu Yuena left, her steps came to a halt upon hearing the pitiful roar. Really, he could not see the cute creatures suffering.

He turned towards the dragon and grabbed it. It managed to make Xiao Bai in a heavy shock.

"Miss!"

Gu Yuena ignored Xiao Bai's shout and gently rubbed the little dragon. She was very cute with a body that was like a snake child. A beautiful white snake.

"Some dragons can transform themselves into small snakes. Miss don't be fooled by her looks." Xiao Bai was still warning.

He was able to sense the powerful dragon aura, making him extremely alert. Not only Xiao Bai, Xiao Hei also felt it.

"Miss, should we report for safekeeping?" Xiao Hei had a feeling like Xiao Bai. This snake is suspicious.

"Yes, I'll report it." Gu Yuena nodded in agreement. He looked at the cute little snake, then thought for a moment. "Do I have to report you?"

"...."

Both cats were stunned.

"Miss, you like to joke around." Xiao Bai commented first.

"Then, you guys are jokingly saying that I should report it." Gu Yuena looked at the little snake with a mysterious look. "I think he'll be useful. Otherwise, I'll do as you say."

Gu Yuena brought the little snake to use it as a hidden weapon. Just like Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai.

At the inn, Gu Yuena healed the little snake using the existing medicines. He hopes the medicine he has can relieve the pain of this cute snake.

By the way, can this snake talk?

After sprinkling the medicine and using spiritual power to speed up the regeneration process, one suddenly knocked on the door of his room.

Gu Yuena turned her head, then got up from the chair. He did not know that the little snake he picked up slightly opened his beautiful blue eyes. He looked comfortable with Gu Yuena's spiritual power.

Gu Yuena opened the door, seeing Yun Qiao standing outside while carrying some parcels. The man smiled, then walked into Gu Yuena's room just like that.

"I saw Ru Meng in you over time." Gu Yuena somewhat objected.

"I brought you a dry snack made from chicken" Yun Qiao said as he placed the package onto the table and arranged it.

His gaze unintentionally focused on a white snake lying on Gu Yuena's study table.

Gu Yuena hurriedly blocked Yun Qiao's gaze, "Thank you for the snack. Is your business done?"

"Yes .. but—" Yun Qiao wanted to ask about the white snake and wanted to see it, but Gu Yuena kept blocking and interrupting.

"Unschooler, I have some personal things to settle. If your business is done, you can go back to continue your own business."

"Xiao Yuena—"

"This means you have to go." Gu Yuena pulled the corner of her lips to cover up her nervousness.

Yun Qiao looked at Gu Yuena for a while, then chuckled. "All right." He ruffled Gu Yuena's soft end furiously, then turned away.

But before he closed the door, his head turned towards Gu Yuena. "Don't forget dinner later. Remember, don't fall asleep."

Gu Yuena flicked her hand expelling. "I remember, it's gone."

Yun Qiao came out and closed the door. The room became silent for a moment, until finally the sound of breathing was heard.

"Huh, just scare me." Gu Yuena ruffled her waist, then looked at the small snake on the table.

He had to make a place for the little snake. Since a certain being was a dragon, he could not place it in the spiritual space carelessly.

Looking down at the little snake closer, he said as he rubbed it slowly, "Xiao Lin, sleep quietly. I'll make you a special place to live."

He had named the dragon by the name of Xiao Lin which means 'little snake'. Ah, he's not good at giving names.

(The word 'Lin' here is different from the Lin Clan or Shen Jialin, yes. Because China has 3 tone intonations in one word, the meaning is different. Do not be surprised if there are similar words. Actually because there is no more name idea, anyway wkwk.)

Throughout the day, Gu Yuena went out to look for references to 'snake houses' from various places including the summoner. Didn't forget to bring the 'snake house' that he picked up just now.

Unbeknownst to him, the two cats who were silent in the spiritual room were jealous and half-dead.

Miss already does not love cats anymore, instead choose a more dangerous snake child!
