Dance Of The Phoenix
96. Strange Feelings

Tianshuang Palace was enlivened by the arrival of a flying ship coming from the west. The wings of the ship carrying the weight on it descended to the palace courtyard where there were already many palace disciples and elders waiting.

They had traveled for a full five days inside the ship at high speed. Of course, it is different if you only use horses because a lot of time is wasted just to rest.

Actually Bai Youzhe did not need to rest. It was just his wits to linger on the road with Gu Yuena. Fortunately, Gu Yuena immediately took the option of using an airplane to go home.

Bai Youzhe was with Gu Yuena by her side getting off the flying boat. The welcome of the disciples and elders was enough to make Gu Yuena marvel at their loyalty.

Merely, when he saw one of the elders who looked surprised at his presence, Gu Yuena narrowed her blood red irises.

Looks like someone's disappointed.

Bai Youzhe seemed indifferent to the welcome that she thought was very noisy. This is the second reason not to use an airplane that is so striking in size. He used to appear and come suddenly.

There were some things the elders had to tell Bai Youzhe so that they gathered in the main hall. Gu Yuena did not come, choosing to return to her place because there was no need.

Apart from Bai Youzhe, no one would care where Gu Yuena would go. While Su Churan was not in Tianshuang Palace so she was completely alone as everyone held a meeting.

Not always alone, anyway.

Other than the two cats that accompanied, there was also someone who came uninvited with various intentions on his head.

At a time when all the servants did not dare to get close to Gu Yuena—since the murder of the intruder in the clan—a certain woman came with a servant behind her approached Gu Yuena in the palace courtyard.

Her yellow dress looked very bright making her look like the sun. However, to Gu Yuena who was in a bad mood, that yellow was the yellow of a polluted river.

So cloudy.

"I've been looking for you since, it's here." Ming Chin came with a familiar pretentious feel.

Gu Yuena did not glance at him in the slightest, only focusing on feeding the dried fish to her two cats while crouching down.

Ming Chin who was facing Gu Yuena's attitude couldn't help but feel annoyed. But he ignored it. "Some time ago, I met Hai Shang, saying I wanted to go to the Luo Clan to see His Majesty. Hai Shang was the pre-eminent disciple of the palace, and had the rank of chief of the palace military warriors under the commander Zhao. I thought he'd be back with you guys."

Hai Shang, the person that Elder Ming had sent to kill Gu Yuena. He did have a suitable position as Ming Chin said, that was why he was so brave and loyal.

Unfortunately, such a person became Gu Yuena's impingement and died so pitifully.

Not getting a response from Gu Yuena, Ming Chin cleared his throat. "Did you meet before? Well, you wouldn't recognize him. But I can tell that he has a cultivation level of 8. It was easy to find him in the Luo Clan."

"What do you expect from my answer?" Gu Yuena finally replied, then turned her head towards Ming Chin.

"That's ...."

Gu Yuena stood up then clasped her chest while looking at the woman. "It would be better if you went to the hall and protected my beloved father. I think his position is in crisis."

"What do you mean?" Ming Chin frowned.

Gu Yuena stepped towards Ming Chin while saying, "Don't pretend to be stupid. I don't like your pleasantries, so I'll tell you now. The person you called, I met him. Maybe, you can find it inside the ship—if it hasn't been destroyed."

Ming Chin was silent. He took a few steps back, seemingly thinking of something terrible. "You ...."

"Other times, give me stronger. I'm just 'a little' giving a punch, but he's dead." Gu Yuena said it easily with a smile.

"Gu Yuena, she is the flagship disciple of palace—"

"It looks like the top student you're referring to means absolutely nothing. Such a weak person, how could it be called a seed?"

Ming Chin was retreating to keep his distance. For some reason, he was able to sense the existence of a strong killing intent from Gu Yuena. The mood of the woman was really bad. What should Ming Chin do?

Gu Yuena was silent, seeming to have thought of something before finally sighing. "Have it, I'll let you meet your father this time. Don't let me see you."

Gu Yuena left with her two cats that were busy chewing on fish. Ming Chin was completely speechless this time.

How could he be afraid of Gu Yuena?

Was Gu Yuena giving him a chance this time? Is he threatening?

Ming Chin did not think out. He was upset, but could not show it. He hurriedly went to the main hall to look for his father, afraid that what Gu Yuena said might come true.

And it's true. Just when his father came out of the hall, the old man looked gloomy half-dead and furious. Just can't show it blatantly.

Bai Youzhe had just revoked the military authority of Elder Ming as a warning. The old man was nothing more than an elder without a job title.

Actually Bai Youzhe was not satisfied, as just now the old man had barely harmed Gu Yuena. But since Gu Yuena had already said that she would take care of it herself, she could only lower the position of Elder Ming so that Gu Yuena would have no problem killing him.

Of course, it would not make Elder Ming retreat.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"It looks like I should drink some drunk soup." Gu Yuena sat on the chair while leaning down limply with her two beloved cats.

Already several times he was nauseous, precisely since being on an airplane. Though Gu Yuena had never been travel drunk let alone air drunk. He often flies and travels at high speeds, but never like this.

Are the effects of the wound still there?

But as he remembered, the fire poison had already disappeared, remaining soul power that was slowly difficult to control.

About the soul force, Gu Yuena had sealed it in the ice she found in the heart. It seemed like it was something Bai Youzhe had given her while dying. Gu Yuena used it to seal the soul force that had been rampaging ever since the Yuansu Palace attack.

For now, his soul power was safe in the seal.

The waiter came to bring some drunk soup for Gu Yuena. After the servant left, Gu Yuena immediately drank it.

But the scent of ginseng that went into his nose made his stomach nauseous once again. As a result, Gu Yuena did not drink.

"What the fuck?" Gu Yuena simply placed the cup onto the table. His mood is very bad.

"Miss, it looks like you're sick, have to go to the doctor." Xiao Hei gave a suggestion.

"It seems that using too much soul force makes your body condition decrease. In the future, it should not be too often to use soul force. I see, every time you use soul power, the qi in your body gets out of control and affects your mind" Xiao Bai said.

"Right, I think you've changed a little." Xiao Hei supported Xiao Bai's argument. Gu Yuena's mood was very erratic and sometimes confused what to do. It was fortunate that Gu Yuena was still able to control it.

Gu Yuena sighed, then massaged her throbbing head. "The power of the soul affects the minds of people. That's why, many soul force users have lost control."

"Miss, I suggest avoiding a big battle. At least until the solution of the soul force disappears." Xiao Bai was too anxious.

"Yesterday the phoenix blood, now the soul force." Xiao Hei sighed.

"But I thought, I did everything purely from what I wanted. In my previous life, I was not much different from the current one. All this time I've been acting, it's been exhausting."

The two cats answered nothing. There was a time when Gu Yuena was acting, but she never acted in front of the two of them. It was clearly Gu Yuena who used to be very active and pleasant. Why is it turning so faint now?

The last time they saw Gu Yuena who was playing around was in the Luo Clan. Since settling Luo Wei's soul matter, Gu Yuena had changed a lot.

"I want a beggar's chicken." Gu Yuena suddenly muttered so making the two cats gawk.

"What?"

"It's changing very quickly" Xiao Hei murmured.

"Where are we gonna find him? Beggar chickens only exist in a few areas, I have never seen them in Tianlong City," Xiao Bai continued.

Gu Yuena saw that the two cats remained annoyed. He got out of his seat and went out on his own.

"Miss, wait!" Xiao Hei felt that he was saying the wrong thing and ran after Gu Yuena. Xiao Bai also came with a panicked face.

They may not be given dried fish in the future.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The meeting with the elders as well as the Assassin Guild passed smoothly. Bai Youzhe stepped into her own palace to meet Gu Yuena.

It was already afternoon, he thought Gu Yuena was relaxing with the two cats as usual.

But when Bai Youzhe reached the palace, there was only such a desolate atmosphere before Gu Yuena came to this place.

It looks like Gu Yuena is in the room.

Bai Youzhe immediately went to the room. But when he opened the door, the welcome of the two cats meowing loudly in front of the door shocked him.

"Your Majesty, please Miss!" Xiao Hei was hysterically shouting while Xiao Bai was just meowing.

Bai Youzhe looked panicked as Xiao Hei said so. His pair of eyes looked at Gu Yuena on the sofa in the corner of the room while looking down on her knees.

Without listening to Xiao Bai's explanation, Bai Youzhe immediately dashed towards Gu Yuena with a panicked and worried look.

"Nana, are you okay?" Bai Youzhe lowered her head and equalized her height with Gu Yuena sitting on the sofa while cornered.

Gu Yuena was seen moving, looking up at the pair of anxious night blue irises before her eyes. Gu Yuena was silent for a while.

"I ...." Gu Yuena did not continue her sentence, instead glancing at Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai with a puzzled look.

What did those two cats do to make Bai Youzhe so panicked?

It could be seen, Xiao Bai disappeared to hide himself. Xiao Hei began to retreat silently like a thief.

Bai Youzhe grew even more agitated when she saw Gu Yuena shed tears. Although Gu Yuena's gaze looked puzzled, her tears were unable to lie.

"Nana, who's bothering you?" Bai Youzhe said softly, and wiped away Gu Yuena's dripping tears.

Gu Yuena was getting confused. In the next second, he realized that his tears were dripping.

"What's wrong with me?" Gu Yuena looked at the tears she wiped on her finger. It made Bai Youzhe confused.

Though there is nothing to cry about.

Gu Yuena looked to be putting on a complicated expression. "Youzhe, it looks like I ...."

Gu Yuena hung her amulet, looking thoughtful. He looked doubtful, but his mouth spoke without hesitation.

"I want a beggar's chicken very much."

"...."

Bai Youzhe was silent.

Gu Yuena said like she was saying something very serious. His face really looked serious with tears left.

Beggar chickens were not in this place, nor was Tianlong City the closest to Tianshuang Palace. The servants also did not know how to make it. That was why Gu Yuena returned to the palace and became like this.

Gu Yuena did not know the reason, her desire was very strong beyond the desire for revenge. He didn't even realize he had cried just because of a trivial matter like this.

If you think about it. .. this is embarrassing.

"Not to think about." Gu Yuena turned her face away from feeling her mouth could not be set. It just came out without a second thought.

"Did the waiter not feed you well?" Bai Youzhe asked.

"Not so, I just want a beggar's chicken." Gu Yuena said in a annoyed tone. But he actually closed his mouth back tightly, hoping his mouth no longer spoke carelessly.

What's wrong with her?

Bai Youzhe smiled. "Well, I'll make it for you."

This time it was Gu Yuena who was speechless and looked at Bai Youzhe in disbelief.

Since when is that guy good at cooking? Isn't it always Gu Yuena who cooks?

"really?" Gu Yuena felt less certain. I don't know why he got excited. His attitude and thoughts were very different. It's torturing!

Bai Youzhe nodded confidently, then rubbed Gu Yuena's tears that kept coming out once more. "So don't cry anymore. I'll be sad to see it."

Once again, Gu Yuena only realized that her tears were unwilling to stop. Or rather, tears had been rushing out ever since Gu Yuena had revealed her heart!

Hah, this is too torturous for Gu Yuena's pride!

"Sucks," grumbled Gu Yuena.

"What?" Bai Youzhe seemed to hear Gu Yuena grumbling.

Gu Yuena let out a long breath. "I don't know why I'm being such a bitch."

"I don't think so." Although Bai Youzhe was confused as to why Gu Yuena became like a child, but she did not need to think too much about it. Lately Gu Yuena's mood has been bad, maybe that's why.

Bai Youzhe invited Gu Yuena to cook together. During his time in the underworld, there was nothing that a human could eat so he had to learn to cook by himself. Although the food was not as delicious as Gu Yuena's cooking, she was happy to be able to cook for Gu Yuena once in a while.

It didn't take long, Bai Youzhe finished grilling the chicken Gu Yuena wanted. It was fortunate that he knew how to make it so that he could see Gu Yuena—who had been smiling back since last night.

Gu Yuena did not know that she could be as happy as it was to get food that she had rarely eaten before. It was like getting all his wishes perfectly.

Amidst the pleasure, Chu Xin came to suddenly tell Bai Youzhe something. Gu Yuena who was good at eating did not pay much attention.

Bai Youzhe's face seemed flat after hearing that. He then looked at Gu Yuena who was happy. It seemed like this pleasure would not last long due to the presence of a person.

"Your Majesty, do I need to get rid of it?" Chu Xin asked in a low and very serious tone.

"I need Nana's permission for this matter." Bai Youzhe did not seem to be getting rid of him or not.

The reason, the person who had been disturbing Gu Yuena's life had come.

Gu Yueli, come along with Luye Palace's successor, Jin Xiao.
