Dance Of The Phoenix
84. The unexpected guest

Blue and black rays coalesced in the sky full of black clouds covering the sunlight. The surge of energy circulating the pressure caused a huge wind vortex that cleared an area full of trees into a desert land.

A dragon figure appeared in the overcast sky, merging with the two rays in the sky and hurtling towards a man who had been in his sturdy position for days.

A man with very beautiful silver hair. His face was beautiful as if he were not human. If a human had fused with a dragon completely, would he still be able to be called a human?

Since fusing the three soul stones and absorbing its power, it had completely fused with the dragon blood and formed the dragon body naturally. He was not much different from the dragon from the underworld.

After the rays in the sky disappeared, absorbing into his body, his pair of eyes opened showing dazzling and unique night blue irises. His gaze was cold without emotion, seeing things without any desire.

"Your Majesty, congratulations on your improvement." The man dressed in all black behind him knelt down congratulating.

The man's silver hair turned black as he stood up and put on his robe. He asked in a cold tone. "How was the meeting?"

"Zhou Tao and the others are on their way back. They said there was a lot to say about the inter-palace meeting this year. Other than that ...."

"Is there anything interesting?"

"Linghun Hall appeared in Yin City and made a mess. Fortunately, everything was under control thanks to the representatives from Yuansu Palace."

Hearing those words, the man immediately thought of a name.

"Gu Yuena."

The man was none other than Bai Youzhe who had previously disguised herself as Xiao Lin by Gu Yuena's side to monitor the situation. Before becoming Xiao Lin's 'cute', he had wandered around as a spirit and possessed Zhou Tao until he finally met Gu Yuena in the city.

That was why Zhou Tao looked different from usual. Because all that time, it was Bai Youzhe who took over Zhou Tao's body.

It can separate the spirit from the body and possess people since it combines three soul stones. During that time, his original body continued to cultivate in order to neutralize his spiritual power.

It took a long time until Bai Youzhe finally decided to join the meeting.

Now he has returned to his original body. He can't wait to see his Nana again.

Right after thinking about it, Bai Youzhe subconsciously pulled the corner of her lips so as to make her subordinates surprised instead of playing.

Is the king smiling?

Suddenly his skin shivered.

But the situation did not last long. They were suddenly startled by such a huge fluctuation of energy emerging from the sky.

Bai Youzhe squinted her eyes towards the sky which formed a strange vortex. His forehead creased, feeling a familiar breath. However, it is very weak.

In the sky, dark and round symbols appeared at a glance, leaving Bai Youzhe stunned for an instant.

His subordinates looked confusedly. His forehead creased, before he finally heard footsteps from a distance. The man in black clothes looked at the sky again.

What is the pearl of life?

Who came through that rare thing?

Suddenly, Bai Youzhe's expression changed from cold to restless face. The man instantly soared into the air, in the direction where something came out from the vortex of the sky.

With lightning fast, the man caught someone who fell loose from there in a semi-conscious state. He hugged the slender body tightly, filled with overwhelming fear.

"Mrs ...." Bai Youzhe looked at the beautiful face that had traces of fire poison like roots. But he was more concerned for Gu Yuena's safety, as well as her rapidly declining consciousness.

Gu Yuena blinked her eyes, looking at the bright sky. He knew he was alive for now. However, the thing that made him wonder, who held him so tightly as he floated down from the darkness?

His gaze was blurry, but he could still see a pair of night blue irises that showed concern. There was only one person he knew, had such a pair of eye colors, and would have such expression if he saw him in such a miserable state.

"Bai Youzhe." The name was just like that on Gu Yuena's lips that had traces of blood spots. His consciousness was drowning in darkness right then and there.

Bai Youzhe was speechless. What the hell is going on?

He landed on the ground without taking off his embrace. He was afraid, something happened to Gu Yuena. He doesn't want to lose her again.

"Your Majesty." Zhou Tao arrived and knelt down upon seeing Bai Youzhe land on the ground. He came to report a few things.

But all of a sudden Bai Youzhe hurriedly walked carrying a girl in his arms with a chaotic feeling.

"Call an alchemist or healer right now!" Bai Youzhe hurriedly gave the order without listening to the awaited report. He could not listen to any reports as long as Gu Yuena was on the critical verge.

Zhou Tao was silent. Feel surprised.

But when he saw who was in his king's arms, he was shocked to death.

Miss Gu ....

Since when did Miss Gu of Yuansu Palace be able to make her iceberg-like king change completely? He barely knew his king. He was also shocked at Miss Gu's unlikely circumstances.

The rush of Zhou Tao and the others summoned the alchemist as well as the best healer to take care of Gu Yuena. Ignoring how confused they were, it was better to carry out the orders first.

Bai Youzhe directly brought Gu Yuena into her room and put Gu Yuena's helpless body onto the bed. All the while waiting for the arrival of the medics, he used his strength to try to ease Gu Yuena's wounds.

He clasped Gu Yuena's hand the entire time, using his spiritual power to suppress the fire poison and treat the wounds Gu Yuena had sustained.

However, it was not successful enough to defeat the raging fire poison.

"Hold on, please ...." Bai Youzhe looked at Gu Yuena restlessly. He had no idea what was happening, but this must have something to do with the way Gu Yuena tamed her curse.

Shortly after, the female healer and alchemist who was an old man came while being dragged by Zhou Tao with wide steps. The old man had difficulty speeding up his pace as he was old, whereas Zhou Tao hurriedly brought him inside Bai Youzhe's room.

They thought, is Your Majesty sick?

But when he saw the figure of the foreign girl on top of Bai Youzhe's bed, while the man looked frustrated as he clasped his palm, they were shocked to death.

Is that man their king?

Their king brought a woman into his room!

Bai Youzhe was aware of the two men's presence, then immediately stood up to let them take care of Gu Yuena.

The alchemist checked Gu Yuena's pulse, while the healer checked her spiritual power.

They both breathe.

"It seems like he has experienced a great battle. His spiritual power was extremely chaotic, coupled with the rare fire poison penetrating his heart, it would be difficult for him to survive." The healer said so, making Bai Youzhe even more chaotic.

Bai Youzhe looked at them coldly to the point of making the two shiver. The man confirmed his words, "Do whatever it takes to save her!"

Bai Youzhe's words were like a warning, or the two people would pay with their lives if they didn't manage to save Gu Yuena.

It made the two of them extremely frightened, and instantly did whatever they could to maintain vitality.

The injuries suffered were too bad for humans to bear. With the heart contaminated with fire poison, the girl still alive was also already a fortune.

Bai Youzhe did not leave the room at all, continuing to look at Gu Yuena's condition with a complicated look. He thought hard what made Gu Yuena become like this.

Linghun Hall ....

Did the battle in Yin City wound Gu Yuena up like this?

Not likely. Just now his subordinates informed him that Gu Yuena managed to control the situation well and returned to the palace.

Then, something happened to Yuansu Palace.

What is Linghun Hall?

Amidst the raging thoughts, a snow-white cat as well as a black cat came out from Gu Yuena's body and stood on the bed while looking at her nonanya sadly.

The presence of Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei shocked the healer and alchemist who were struggling to take care of Gu Yuena's injuries. They looked at the ordinary-looking Bai Youzhe, then chose not to say anything.

"What happened to her?" Bai Youzhe asked the two cats.

Xiao Hei looked doubtful. "This ...."

"Miss used the magic of immortality to suppress the fire poison for many years. It was a forbidden magic that he discovered 6 years ago. Since Miss used phoenix blood to the fullest for revenge, the fire poison is back on." Xiao Bai explained the crux of Gu Yuena's dying cause.

Five years ago, the fire poison was active to kill him, but the immortality magic managed to suppress him to the limit. As long as Gu Yuena did not use her phoenix strength excessively, she would be safe. But this battle caused Gu Yuena to use all her strength to win.

"Is there no other solution?" Bai Youzhe felt troubled hearing Xiao Bai's explanation. He should not have let Gu Yuena go. He should have stayed with Gu Yuena even as Xiao Lin back then.

There were too many regrets in Bai Youzhe.

"Actually .. we need a stronger element of ice. But it will most likely also suppress the strength of the phoenix miss." Xiao Bai gave a suggestion. He was silent for a while, seeming to want to say accordingly. "The ice cube I was guarding first was most likely able to suppress it. But it's been taken by someone else, not knowing who took it from me. I don't know if there's anything more useful."

Bai Youzhe remembered something. Ice jade .. he has it.

But the thing was, the ice jade suppressed the hellfire within his body. Can it be removed so easily?

For Gu Yuena's sake, he didn't care whether to get that pain again or not. After all, he was already able to control the hellfire and dragon power completely.

His gaze was directed at the dizzy alchemist thinking about how to save Gu Yuena.

"You can extract something and transfer it to someone else's body, right?"

The old man was silent for a while, unable to guess Bai Youzhe's thought. He also nodded unwillingly.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Especially for something that has magic power, I can extract it into smaller objects and move it."

"You know about the ice jade on my body? Take it to suppress the fire poison."

The old man was surprised instead of playing and immediately knelt down. "Your Majesty, what do you want to do? Ice Jade is precious and cannot be separated from your hellfire, it is dangerous."

"I don't accept rejection."

The old man was defeated facing Bai Youzhe's cold aura. Even the female healer behind him could not help.

In the end, he gave up.

While the female healer maintained Gu Yuena's vitality, the old alchemist who used to take care of Bai Youzhe did as his master commanded.

Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei were just watching. They were shocked, but said nothing but to worry about their miss's safety. Gu Yuena had saved them before the explosion occurred by taking them to the spiritual room. They're very worried.

The old man who was the alchemist of Tianshuang Palace extracted the ice jade on Bai Youzhe's body into an ice circle as big as a marble. It was the appearance of ice essence before crystallizing into ice jade.

In this way, the ice essence was easily expelled without hurting Bai Youzhe. After the ice essence came out, Bai Youzhe controlled the hellfire in her body which started to rampage after it escaped from the seal.

It didn't take long. The old man hurriedly brought the ice essence from the ice jade to Gu Yuena as ordered. He had no idea what was the connection between his king and this foreign girl. This girl looked very special in the eyes of the notoriously heartless Bai Youzhe in the palace.

He remembered the plan of the elders urging Bai Youzhe to marry Su Churan. But the butterfly girl was blurred. Bai Youzhe ignored it all as if nothing had happened.

Now, their king suddenly brought a woman outside. Who wouldn't be surprised?

Not knowing this would be good news or not, because the elders' thoughts were hard to guess.

The woman who cared for Gu Yuena allowed the alchemist to implant ice essence in Gu Yuena's heart. The ice essence crystallized back when it touched Gu Yuena's heart, causing the entire flame poison to freeze without being able to break out.

That ice essence did not completely fuse with the heart, merely clogging the poison part and neutralizing the blood from the fire poison. That process did not take long as the magic of immortality began to actively suppress it.

Slowly, Gu Yuena's pale face re-emerged a trail of blood flow. The blood poison sign disappeared instantly.

The alchemist heaved a sigh of relief, as did the female healer who was very happy to remember her head was still safe. He must be very careful if he gets the King's call again.

Bai Youzhe walked over to Gu Yuena who was still unconscious. After seeing no signs of fire poison directly, he just heaved a sigh of relief.

He was so scared.

"Thank you."

Bai Youzhe's words made the two medics unaccustomed and smiled awkwardly. When was the last time Bai Youzhe said that phrase? A year ago? Or more than that?

"You can go." Bai Youzhe let them go, while she accompanied Gu Yuena who had just gone through a period of crisis.

The two humans felt they had to leave from the beginning. They bowed and left immediately.

No need to interfere in the affairs of young people.

After the two humans left, Hei Changge appeared with a very visible anxious look. The man immediately knelt down near Bai Youzhe to give a report.

"Your Majesty, Linghun Hall has taken control of Yuansu Palace in the past few days. The Yuansu Palace King could not be saved, nor could Miss Gu's teacher. But fortunately, they had time to teleport to save the palace people including Miss Gu."

Bai Youzhe did not have any reaction other than to look at her poor Gu Yuena. He had guessed, the people of Linghun Hall must have been chasing Gu Yuena and the others.

Based on Gu Yuena's nature, the girl would not stay silent and save everyone, ignoring her life. The problem was not with the death squad or the magicians, but with the leader of the Linghun Hall.

Gu Yuena must have met that person, which made her fall in this state.

Bai Youzhe's hatred for those people grew even bigger.

"He tried to save them, I couldn't let him down. Send help to the rest of the Yuansu Palace members, then place them in the hall of the nearby Tianshuang Palace."

"Okay, Your Majesty." Hey Changge immediately responded.

"All of you, take Chu Xin to take care of Miss Gu's needs."

"Good." Hey Changge immediately stood up, then bowed and went to carry out the order.

There remained Bai Youzhe who was still feeling guilty over Gu Yuena's condition. He still thought, if he had not left at that time. Is something like this still going to happen?

Unfortunately, time cannot be replayed.
