Dance Of The Phoenix
87. Marry me

On a sunny morning, Gu Yuena decided to get out of the room after a long time. He's been alone since he woke up from a good night's sleep, which is why it feels so boring.

The king's palace was huge, full of alienated and gloomy feelings. Very few servants work in this place so it seems very quiet.

It was very different from the bustling Yuansu Palace.

It's snowing out there. Although it wasn't rushing, it was cold enough that Gu Yuena had to put on the mantle that she brought from the spiritual space and envelop her body.

His endurance had diminished since the coma. That was why Gu Yuena was cold. Though usually every time the snow fell, he did not feel uncomfortable in the cold air because his body was always warm to phoenix fire. The coat was just a formality at the time. Who would have thought that he would really need it.

Gu Yuena sat on the steps while looking at the snow-filled outside scene, feeling somewhat lonely. In the middle of enjoying the cold air and quiet atmosphere—as if there is only him living in this world, the pair of red irises found a familiar small figure out there.

A small jade-white creature along with two round eyes was clear black. His white scales fused with the pile of snow.

"Xiao Lin?" Gu Yuena was surprised.

The little creature moved in the air, piercing through the snowfall approaching him. Gu Yuena greeted him happily, letting the little snake stick to her palm.

"How did you get here?" Gu Yuena was astonished. But looking at Xiao Lin who seemed to miss him, Gu Yuena so could not ask any heavy questions.

The attack ... should have removed all traces of it. Somehow Xiao Lin could appear in this place.

On the other hand, Su Churan who recently always visited to see her friend was present. She was wearing a white velvet coat in a sweet pink dress. When he saw Gu Yuena on the front steps of the palace, he immediately ran over.

"Xiao Yuena, you just recovered are already wandering out. It's so cold in here, it's not good for your body." Su Churan approached in protest.

Gu Yuena simply glanced at him indifferently, then focused on the petite and cute snake in her hand that kept calling for attention. Su Churan was speechless when she saw the white snake.

"This ...."

"Xiao Lin's. I found it in Yin City. Somehow he got here."

"Ah, that's not what I meant ...." Su Churan wanted to explain it further, but suddenly the little creature gave her a cold look.

Su Churan pocketed her mouth right then and there.

What kind of approach is this!

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Yuena asked.

"No. .. I just.. suddenly remembered something unimportant." Su Churan laughed awkwardly while looking at the little creature carefully.

"Churan, I want to ask you something. Is the security of Tianshuang Palace so lax?"

"What do you mean?"

"I still wonder how Xiao Lin was able to enter Tianshuang Palace, whereas when I was in Yuansu Palace, an outer ant alone was difficult to enter."

Su Churan smiled wryly. What is surprising? That little creature called Xiao Lin was Bai Youzhe, the King of Tianshuang Palace himself! Does he need special access to enter the palace?

Unfortunately, Gu Yuena did not know that.

"Do you know what she is?" Su Churan asked carefully.

"I'm not sure, but Xiao Hei said that he was from the Dragon race. Possibly ... Dragons that have not evolved?"

Su Churan got the idea in an instant. "You know for yourself, Bai Youzhe is the owner of dragon blood. Tianshuang Palace had been connected to the dragon race directly, it was very natural that any little dragon could stop by."

"But the dragon race has disappeared."

"That's the secret of the world. It's possible .. Your little friend went to the underworld and happened to show up here and find you."

Gu Yuena nodded in understanding, while Su Churan was agitated half-dead. Gu Yuena believes it? But Su Churan did not believe that Gu Yuena was that easy to swallow a one-sided and baseless wreath.

After all, what was Bai Youzhe thinking until she appeared in the form of a dragon? Little dragon anyway!

"Anu .. here is very cold. We better get inside. Soon Chu Xin came to bring breakfast."

Gu Yuena nodded, then got up from her sitting position. Carrying Xiao Lin who was sitting on his shoulder, they also entered into this desolate palace.

As for Su Churan, it was unable to breathe a sigh of relief all the way while occasionally glancing at the extremely calm little snake on Gu Yuena's shoulder.

Thinking of who was behind that tiny body, Su Churan did not know whether to laugh or cry. What would happen if Gu Yuena found out?

Two years ago, Bai Youzhe gained the form of a dragon after breaking through level 9 at a young age. Just then Bai Youzhe was outside, suddenly appearing from the sky in the form of a dragon. His appearance was very surprising, causing the entire mountain to be in an uproar over the appearance of a dragon figure that had never happened before.

It was at that moment that the entire Tianshuang Palace glorified him. Previous king—Bai Tianzhi—makes Bai Youzhe the next King before exile.

After that day, Su Churan did not see that shocking form again. It is scary, but also beautiful with a pair of cold dark blue irises.

It's just, he wondered. How could such a huge dragon be so tiny? White and black-eyed. He would not recognize if the aura of the two dragons did not bear any resemblance.

This is an intentional disguise.

Or is there another reason?

"Oh, yes. Where is Bai Youzhe?" Gu Yuena suddenly stopped her steps and asked suddenly.

Su Churan froze. Quietly steal a glance towards the tiny and tiny dragon. Haha, Bai Youzhe is there, you know.

"Eitherway. He can go wherever he wants. If there was anything to say, it could be said now. I'll deliver it." It does not need to be conveyed actually, because the person in question can hear directly and sangaaat near.

Gu Yuena still looked indifferent. "It's nothing, I'm just asking. Good that guy doesn't exist."

Su Churan froze for the umpteenth time. He stole a glance towards the little dragon who also looked indifferent. It seemed like a certain dragon did not care how Gu Yuena chased him away blatantly.

"Xiao Yuena, can't you be a little gentle like a woman?"

"If I get soft, you're afraid you're scared." Gu Yuena sighed.

Su Churan laughed awkwardly. Not wrong, anyway. The end of Gu Yuena looked strange if she was being gentle. It wasn't Gu Yuena's name otherwise a little harsh and fierce.

"Then .. I see you're quite comfortable here. Don't you think about staying here?"

Gu Yuena turned to face Su Churan, making the woman have to stop her steps. Gu Yuena looked frowned.

"I'm a guest, of course I have to go. The problems ahead still need to be resolved. I don't have time to enjoy life."

"That sounds sad. But that's not what I meant." Su Churan intended to clarify. Her thoughts with Gu Yuena were much different just because of one sentence.

"Then?"

"How old are you? 25?"

"When did you count my age?"

"Ah, come. Xiao Yuena, you are two years older than me. I've always been curious. My other friends have been married since the age of 17, but you're unemployed and only know how to kill. It's so sad."

"Then you?"

"I'm .. Of course I'm different. I'm still younger than you. Or, think about Gu Yueli's life. Although the household is complicated, he has surpassed you far in terms of life."

"I'm not interested." Gu Yuena's face remained flat.

"Oh, don't you want to date someone once? With a random guy is also okay."

At that very instant, the little dragon on Gu Yuena's shoulder glanced at Su Churan sharply. Su Churan immediately closed her mouth tightly.

"You teach people but don't do it for yourself" Gu Yuena sneered.

"Who said?" su Churan Protest. "Listen, I've dated 5 times in the last 5 years. Never mind dating, I even got married last year! Well, even if it's not smooth, I've tried my best."

"That's the name you're stupid in choosing men."

Gu Yuena's remark dropped Su Churan's pride. I don't know, it feels like crying just to face this hard-hearted woman. How could he help Bai Youzhe if Gu Yuena herself looked like she was abnormal?

"It's just fine that no one would want to approach him," Su Churan muttered. Fortunately Gu Yuena bodo time will grunt the woman.

"You said that, not wanting to know if Bai Youzhe was a priority if I wanted to be in a relationship, right?"

Guess what.

Su Churan was grinning the horse. "B-not so .. I just feel sorry for you."

"If I told you, Bai Youzhe wasn't the only priority, would you complain to her? Or ... Are you tricking me into hearing for yourself?"

Su Churan was stunned. "Eh?" He glanced at the little dragon on Gu Yuena's shoulder who also looked surprised.

"It's true." Gu Yuena snorted. His finger picked up the little dragon on his shoulder, then looked at that pair of round eyes with narrowed eyes. "I've been suspicious since the beginning, it's really you."

The little dragon emitted rays around his body and enlarged to form a man. Gu Yuena spontaneously took off her grip, but the man clasped her hand quickly.

"You already know." Bai Youzhe who appeared right in front of Gu Yuena made Gu Yuena flinch.

Too close ....

Gu Yuena wanted to retreat and give her some distance, but her legs lost their balance so quickly that they could not stand up properly.

Bai Youzhe's arms swiftly restrained Gu Yuena's waist whose position had lost control. Instead of getting a safe distance, their bodies were getting closer until the distance was erased.

"When you're still sick, you've been thinking about getting out of the palace." Bai Youzhe pouted.

Gu Yuena wanted to take off Bai Youzhe's embrace, but her power was clearly lost until she snorted in annoyance.

Bai Youzhe chuckled, "Why? Can't you stand up? I have to carry you."

Without the consent of Gu Yuena, Bai Youzhe lifted Gu Yuena's body just like that until the woman screeched.

"I can walk alone!" Gu Yuena kicked up the air with a slap.

"You wanted to fall. Your health is not good, I can't take any chances." Bai Youzhe retaliated with her innocent face.

"You ...."

What the fuck?

Gu Yuena should have been furious at being tricked by that man, over and over again. But he fell into a trap like this. It sucks!

"Why did you become a monster?" gu Yuena asked, not wanting anyone to shift the topic.

"Because ..you like small and sweet monsters."

"You want to peek at me, don't you!"

"No. Anyway, what if I peek? I've seen it all." Bai Youzhe said it without the slightest guilt.

Gu Yuena's face turned red. Anyone please separate him from this crazy man!

"I have tried so hard to disguise my eyes as not to be known." Bai Youzhe sighed.

Gu Yuena smiled sinisterly. "Thank you to your little friend who gave me a chance to suspect you."

Su Churan who had been wanting to disappear in the corner suddenly felt an uneasy aura. The two humans were looking at him.

"Eh? Me?" Su Churan became stupid instantly.

"If only you hadn't glanced at Xiao Lin in the first place with a strange expression, I probably wouldn't have known until now." Gu Yuena did so as a form of revenge because Su Churan had urged her to date. Feel that.

"This ... Xiao Yuena, how did you come to your senses?" Su Churan was wrong. He looked at Bai Youzhe's cold-looking gaze, shown to him.

Alright, he shouldn't have lured Gu Yuena in the first place if he knew of his affairs to be like this. It was better that he help Chu Xin bring food.

But ... This is not wrong either.

Look at Gu Yuena who fell into Bai Youzhe's arms, feeling like she was watching a romantic drama!

"Well, Chu Xin did not come. I think she needs help, I need to see her to help." Su Churan looked for an excuse to leave and ran away in a storm. He did not want to be a bully of the couple he was working for. Can't ruin the moment!

Gu Yuena instead looked at Su Churan's departure with a disapproving face. He glanced at Bai Youzhe who was also staring at him.

"What look!" Gu Yuena was acting fierce.

Bai Youzhe smiled wryly. "Nana, are you angry that Xiao Lin is me? Do I have to be Xiao Lin again to comfort you?"

Gu Yuena turned her face away. "Let me down."

"Later you fall again."

"Not going to." Gu Yuena paused on his words.

Inevitably Bai Youzhe let Gu Yuena down, letting the woman stand on both feet.

This made Bai Youzhe smile brightly. "Xiao Lin is still sick, must have phoenix aura to heal him."

Gu Yuena's flat expression turned into a small surprise. He looked at Bai Youzhe in disbelief. "You sick?"

"I'm always healthy." Bai Youzhe shone a horse. "The sick one was Xiao Lin. Didn't you see him hurt a while ago?"

Gu Yuena became confused herself. Xiao Lin was Bai Youzhe, then what was the difference other than their form?

"What happened to her?" Gu Yuena intended to follow the storyline that Bai Youzhe used.

"Before a great battle, then wounded. When you found her in Yin City and used your spiritual power to heal her, she felt better."

"So the wound wasn't intentional?"

"Do you think he'll hurt himself while he's suspected?"

Gu Yuena was silent. I don't know what Bai Youzhe went through, but it seems like Bai Youzhe used this opportunity to tell her. Using Xiao Lin as a pretext, replacing his position.

"Who hurt him?" Gu Yuena was curious. Someone who could make Bai Youzhe hurt like that, was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Eitherway. He didn't say it." Bai Youzhe refused to tell.

Gu Yuena did not ask anymore.

"You seem very attentive." Bai Youzhe looked to have a good mood at the moment.

Gu Yuena acted as she pleased. "That's because she's a small and cute creature."

"What about me?"

"Eitherway. I was afraid that the sensitive Xiao Lin was jealous, just like Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai. Where are they?"

"Happy."

"You sure?"

"I think so."

But Gu Yuena felt unsure. This man had always kept many secrets, but he could not ask for more.

It was clear, Bai Youzhe would cover whatever she wanted to ask for various reasons. Gu Yuena could only find out for herself. At least for now, he was sure the two cats were fine under Bai Youzhe— regardless of what the man was doing.

This was the first time Gu Yuena had tolerated someone. One reason is because he is helpless. The rest, he believed Bai Youzhe would not try to get the two cats in trouble just out of jealousy. At least that guy wasn't stupid like some people.

"Well, if you think like that." Gu Yuena looked towards the palace window. The snow had stopped, although there were still a few snowflakes falling.

Gu Yuena went out, breathing in the fresh air where the end of winter would arrive. Although the air was still very cold, his heart felt calmer than before.

He did not know what this was because of the cold air outside or the figure that followed behind him. The atmosphere was much different than when he was in the palace alone. Obviously nothing has changed in this place.

"Nana, is your mood good?" Bai Youzhe reprimanded when she saw the silent Gu Yuena looking at the snowflakes in hand.

In fact, Gu Yuena's mood was very good from the start. Only, he was made a little annoyed by Bai Youzhe, knowing that he had been tricked. But it was only for a moment.

"Are you always alone in this place?" ask Gu Yuena.

"There's nothing else I can carry, I've always been like this, never changed." Bai Youzhe walked over to Gu Yuena, looking at that pretty face without taking the slightest look.

Bai Youzhe continued, "But you're here, I'm not alone anymore."

Gu Yuena glanced at him at a glance, then threw away a glance. It's always like this. Couldn't the man give a little leniency to not make her misbehave?

"Why are you still here? I want to be alone." Gu Yuena threw it away without turning to look at it.

There was no answer whatsoever, but rather something that made Gu Yuena surprised. Suddenly the man hugged her from behind. Gu Yuena was speechless.

Not good for the heart.

"I miss you so much." Bai Youzhe spoke in a low tone as she buried her face on Gu Yuena's shoulder

"Bai Youzhe, what are you possessed of?" Gu Yuena still took it lightly. He wanted to turn around, but the man's embrace was getting tighter. Gu Yuena tried to remain calm and breathe her senormally. "We .. have met for a long time. It doesn't have to be like this."

He would not be surprised if the man behaved like that when they first met after such a long time. But these?

"Based on the count, we've only met and talked in person three times since we were 6 years apart. The others don't count."

"Can that be?" Gu Yuena admitted, it's not wrong. But ... does it have to be excessive like this? They're not that close either. "I don't think it's good to see people." The problem is that they are outside.

"Is it because you feel that you are an outsider?" Bai Youzhe finally took off a hug. But he twisted Gu Yuena's body to face him and looked at him directly.

Gu Yuena nodded, "Yes? Not wrong, according—"

"For me, you're not an outsider." Bai Youzhe said solemnly.

Gu Yuena's feelings were not good.

Staring at the pair of red irises fixedly, Bai Youzhe said confidently, "Gu Yuena, marry me."

"What?" Gu Yuena jerked until her eyes perfectly rounded. He looked at the man in disbelief, feeling his mind convoluted to the point of not being able to digest properly.

Is he being proposed?

Gu Yuena could not think well. He was too shocked, then panicked, and could do nothing. His heart felt in his throat. Under these circumstances, what could he do?

"Bai Youzhe .. You know what you're saying?" Gu Yuena still could not believe it.

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time. I want to marry you, how about you?"

"I ...." Gu Yuena's brain was at a standoff.

What should he answer!

Bai Youzhe's stern look was remembered by something. He took out something from the spiritual space, then half-kneeled in front of Gu Yuena.

"Gu Yuena, will you marry me? I'll make you the happiest woman in the world."

Gu Yuena was again taken aback by a ring that seemed to glow before her eyes. It seemed so precious, that Gu Yuena could not think about it anymore. A very beautiful ring with a red jewel that is exactly the color of her eyes.

Gu Yuena could not control herself anymore. He admitted, he was afraid that Bai Youzhe would feel disappointed and leave after she refused. If he accepted, it meant that he would become a perfect phoenix. Only, was that really what he wanted?

Gu Yuena was afraid, her feelings towards Bai Youzhe were only purely because the man was the owner of the dragon blood. It seemed like Bai Youzhe's decision to hide her identity was the right thing.

Bai Youzhe was aware of Gu Yuena's concern. He stood in front of the woman and touched her face gently.

"You scared?" tanyakanya.

"Do you really mean it?" Gu Yuena asked back.

Bai Youzhe smiled. "I've wanted to do this for a long time. Those six years were so hard."

"You love me, what if I don't love you?" Gu Yuena was still doubtful.

"I told you, I won't let you go. I'll make you love me."

"Then, what if I reject your proposal?"

"I'll propose next time, until you accept me." Bai Youzhe replied with certainty, trying not to make Gu Yuena uncomfortable.

Gu Yuena felt depressed herself. "Why do you always answer things so easily?"

This time it was Bai Youzhe who was a bit confused. Isn't it just a simple question? Did he have to pretend to be confused in order for Gu Yuena to be satisfied?

"Not everything I know." Bai Youzhe tried to give up. Don't let Gu Yuena's mood deteriorate because of this.

Gu Yuena still looked depressed. It made Bai Youzhe go awry and confused as to what to do. It seems like he took his chance at the wrong time.

"You don't have to answer now, you don't have to be burdened by this." Bai Youzhe wanted to alleviate Gu Yuena a little so as not to panic too much. It seems like all women are like this, panicking when proposed.

"Bai Youzhe." Gu Yuena finally opened her mouth after being silent for a while.

Suddenly the woman was silent, seemingly not knowing what to say when their views met.

He thought ...nothing needed to be said anymore.

Gu Yuena tiptoed due to her shorter height, then fused her lips gently to Bai Youzhe's lips.

It managed to make Bai Youzhe speechless like a statue. Now, replace the brain that is not synchronized until it can not give any reaction.

Gu Yuena accepted it?

Did ya?

Bai Youzhe was so happy that she wanted to jump. When Gu Yuena took off the touch of her lips, Bai Youzhe immediately pulled her waist and stared fixedly at the red iris.

"So soon, I haven't felt it clearly yet." Bai Youzhe protested in a low tone, which made Gu Yuena flutter.

"I'm afraid .. to be seen by people." Gu Yuena sensed the presence of others in the surroundings.

Bai Youzhe brought her face closer until both of their noses touched. "It's better if someone else sees. It states, that you are only mine."

Right after saying so, the man tilted his head and gave a soft kiss on Gu Yuena's lips. Long time no kiss did not make him stiff, he was instead excited and poked his tongue into Gu Yuena's mouth.

Sure enough, Gu Yuena's perception was not wrong. Su Churan and the newly arrived Chu Xin brought food instantly shocked by the romantic scene that made Su Churan moved.

Not only were there two women, but Bao Jun who was about to meet Bai Youzhe for important matters was instantly stunned. Was that really the human he had been following for so many years?

"Uwaah, don't bother, don't bother! I didn't see anything!" Su Churan misbehaved to the point of prancing and dragging Chu Xin who was sculpting.

"Little boy, don't look again. It's adult business. You are single from birth, don't look around." Su Churan was too happy to drag Bao Jun who was also sculpting.

Finally, after so long ....

Su Churan's prayer is answered!

It had just been left for a while, it had grown so far. Wait for the official announcement.

Bai Youzhe took off her kiss and was about to continue it around Gu Yuena's neck, but Gu Yuena directly held her shoulders, looking at the man with concern.

"Do you know so little about the place?" Gu Yuena looked around. Sure enough, he saw Su Churan running away with the other two.

Bai Youzhe chuckled. "They're not a problem."

"They're not a problem, but ...." Gu Yuena only felt embarrassed if the maid also looked.

Bai Youzhe closed her lips to Gu Yuena's ears. "Then, you want to continue in the room?"

Gu Yuena flushed instantly. "That's ...."

Bai Youzhe grabbed Gu Yuena's arm and grabbed her against the inner walls of the palace. It raised Gu Yuena's chin and****** her lips with heat.

Gu Yuena draped both her hands around Bai Youzhe's neck, biting the man's lips and returning the kiss even deeper. Gu Yuena's body was lifted up, sitting on the table without removing the link of their passionate lips.

The relationship continues to a deeper level. With their outer clothes strewn on the floor, they vented passion on the bed.

Gu Yuena took off the kiss to take a breath. His chest was up and down, looking hunting. Different from before, this time really made it uncontrollable.

Ah, he must be crazy.

"Are you going to stop, like then?" ask Gu Yuena.

"No," replied Bai Youzhe. "I was thinking, would you be angry if I did it or not."

"Anged?" Gu Yuena was empty for a while. It seemed like her level of indecision as a female actually made the man in front of her misunderstand.

Gu Yuena wanted to laugh, but she held him back and only smiled lightly. He draped both of his hands to Bai Youzhe's neck and pulled her closer.

He whispered in the man's ear, "Continue."

The whispers and warm gusts of Gu Yuena in his ears made Bai Youzhe almost go crazy. He said, "I won't stop."

Bai Youzhe inhaled Gu Yuena's neck sensually until Gu Yuena brushed. His hand reached down to the sensitive part and pressed on it.

"Youzhe .. ugh ...."

Gu Yuena squirmed, feeling such a disturbing foreign feeling, but she couldn't help but like it. Very strange, yet exciting.

A deeper relationship becomes hotter to the peak. I don't know how many times Gu Yuena made a strange sound. He would embarrass himself if he heard that.

Behind all of that, something that was already destined to materialize between the dragon and the phoenix. The dragon and phoenix were united, an innate curse drifting in spiritual energy in the air.
