Phoenix Cries Across the World: The Cold-Hearted Princess is Too Alluring

"Don't worry, that woman is our Feather Clan's divine physician. As long as she is there, your palace master will be fine."

Hongxiu wanted to say something more, but in the end she didn't say a word.

After Su Xiaoxiao took Chu Yingge's pulse, she discovered that Chu Yingge's body was so badly damaged that it was all show and no substance.

From the outside, nothing seemed amiss, but after she cleaned it up, she noticed something was wrong.

"My Lord, will the pain you've endured these past three years also be inflicted upon Chu Yingge?"

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"Her body has been completely hollowed out, it's a miracle she's still alive." Su Xiao's words were not exaggerated in the slightest.

She didn't know what Chu Yingge had gone through in the past three years, but judging from Chu Yingge's body, she hadn't had a good time.

Upon hearing this, Yu Yan said nothing.

His expression revealed neither joy nor anger. He sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and brushed away the stray hairs from Chu Yingge's forehead, his face full of affection.

"I really didn't know there was such a reason. If I had known, I would never have tortured myself like this."

"What's the use now? You should have let go three years ago, instead of relentlessly pursuing this matter."

"If I let her go, who will let me go?" This question seemed to be directed at Su Xiaoxiao, but it also seemed to be directed at the unconscious Chu Yingge.

Su Xiaoxiao sighed, turned around, and left with Yu Wei.

The two haven't seen each other for three years, so their master must have a lot to say.

As Su Xiaoxiao walked out of the Netherworld Palace, her face was somewhat gloomy, which puzzled Yu Wei. He didn't know what was wrong with Su Xiaoxiao, and he was even more unsure how to comfort her.

After a moment, Su Xiaoxiao lowered her head in frustration and reached out to tug at Yu Wei's sleeve.

"Do you think I was too impulsive today? I shouldn't have barged in. If I hadn't done that, maybe none of this would have happened."

"But if you don't do this, you'll never know that Miss Age has a health problem."

"That's true, so I guess I just stumbled upon it by accident."

Even so, Su Xiaoxiao still felt a little guilty. She always acted so impulsively without considering the consequences, and as a result, problems arose.

From now on, she really needs to change her personality.

"Hopefully, Chu Yingge won't push the Lord away this time, which would be a way of fulfilling her own wishes."

"Your wish is unlikely to come true."

"What do you mean?"

"If Miss Age could truly fulfill her own desires, she would have submitted to fate long ago, instead of torturing herself even more until now."

Yu Wei's words made sense, and Su Xiaoxiao felt wave after wave of melancholy.

In the vast Netherworld Palace, Yu Yan sat there, and if it weren't for the fact that he was still breathing, everyone would have thought he was dead.

He remained motionless, his eyes fixed on Chu Yingge.

After a moment, he finally reached out and touched Chu Yingge's face.

The sensation was like an electric current flowing through Yu Yan's body, causing him great distress.

There is no doubt that he loves Chu Yingge. No matter how much time has passed, he still loves Chu Yingge as much as ever, to the point that he wishes they were both dead.

However, this was just a thought.

As if possessed, Yu Yan leaned down, wanting to kiss Chu Yingge's face, but at that moment, a pair of soft, boneless hands placed on his neck, stopping him.

"Yu Yan, you're courting death!"

"It would be an honor for me to die at your hands."

"Glib."

As Chu Yingge spoke, she released his hand and sat up from the bed.

"Yu Yan, I think my life is already very good. Just consider it an act of kindness to let me go and let yourself go too. Let's both be well, okay?"

How can I be at peace without you?

"..." Chu Yingge's eyes twitched, and she reached out to cover her heart.

She knew that what Yu Yan said was true, because her heart was aching, and this excruciating pain left her feeling helpless.

The more confused you are, the more chaotic your mind becomes, and the more likely you are to do something abnormal.

Chu Yingge looked at Yu Yan and suddenly gave in.

"Let's give it a try."

"What?" Yu Yan felt like she was hallucinating for a moment.

Chu Yingge patiently repeated, "Let's give it a try. Since God insists that we be together, let's go with the flow this once."

“Age, you…”

"Don't think it's because I've fallen in love with you; I just want to let myself go."

Chu Yingge's words were true. She had been tormented for three years and was indeed a little tired. She didn't want to continue living such a life of torment day and night.

Yu Yan suddenly felt that everything he had done was worthwhile. When he heard Chu Yingge say to give it a try, he felt as if he had gone from hell to heaven. He felt light and airy, as if he was dreaming.

"Age, don't worry, I won't let you down."

"I doubt you have the guts!"

Are you hungry?

"Not hungry."

Chu Yingge rubbed her aching temples, and after a moment said, "I'm a little tired and want to sleep for a while. Don't go anywhere, just stay here and watch over me."

"Okay, I won't go anywhere, I'll stay here and watch over you."

"Mmm." Chu Yingge responded faintly, then lay down and fell asleep.

Yu Yan sat on the edge of the bed, motionless, quietly watching over Chu Yinge, her heart filled with joy.

……

Su Xiaoxiao and Yu Wei returned to the Feather Clan, and as soon as they entered, they noticed something was amiss.

Yu Wei stopped Su Xiaoxiao, his brows furrowed tightly.

Seeing how alert the guards were, Su Xiaoxiao's heart also jumped.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Something's not right.

"Something's not right?"

"I don't know, something just feels off." Yu Wei said, protecting Su Xiaoxiao as they took a few steps back.

He had only taken a few steps when a barrage of arrows rained down on him and Su Xiaoxiao.

Fortunately, the guards were highly skilled and protected Su Xiaoxiao from injury, but they themselves were hit by an arrow in the shoulder.

Su Xiaoxiao immediately pulled out the arrow. Sure enough, the arrow was poisoned, and the wound on the guard's shoulder had already turned black.

After feeding the guard a pill, Su Xiaoxiao started cursing: "Who is this? Are you plotting a rebellion? Open your dog eyes and see clearly! I am the Divine Physician Su Xiaoxiao, are you all crazy?"

"It's no use, they're not from the Feather Clan."

"Not a member of the Feather Clan?" Su Xiaoxiao was just wondering when she saw Mu Ziyuan walking out of the bedroom door step by step.

Arrogant as a king returning home.

At that moment, Su Xiaoxiao had to admit that Chu Yingge's judgment was truly excellent.

The men around her are all kings.

"Mu Ziyuan, how dare you come here? You abandoned Chu Yingge three years ago, what do you mean by coming back now? Do you think Chu Yingge still needs you?"

"You know perfectly well why I left Ge'er three years ago," Mu Ziyuan said, his smile growing increasingly sinister.

He had finally waited for this day. For the past three years, he had dreamed of crushing the Feather Clan under his feet, and now he had finally done it!

Su Xiaoxiao felt somewhat guilty, since it was indeed her master who was in the wrong at the beginning.

"Mu Ziyuan, even if my lord forced you to do so, wasn't it your own decision to leave Chu Yinge? You used Chu Yinge as a condition for leaving. Who forced you to do that? Didn't you willingly give up Chu Yinge yourself?"

"I have never given up on her."

The world changes. Things have changed.

Everything can change, but his love for her has never changed.

The departure back then was only for a better reunion in the end.

Su Xiaoxiao fell silent. She had known all along that even if Mu Ziyuan left Chu Yingge, it didn't mean he didn't love her anymore. However, it wasn't up to her to decide, but rather how Chu Yingge herself viewed it.

If Chu Yingge insists that Mu Ziyuan abandoned her first, then she probably will never forgive Mu Ziyuan in her entire life.

Yun Nuo looked at Su Xiaoxiao, then at Mu Ziyuan beside her, and respectfully asked, "Your Majesty, what should be done with these two people?"

"Keep them. They're not the culprits. Besides, only these two people know where Ge'er is."

"Then I'll take him back and interrogate him properly."

"Ah."

Su Xiaoxiao tried to struggle, but Yun Nuo stepped forward and took her away. Yu Wei was taken away by Mu Zi, and the two were separated and locked up.

Mu Ziyuan ordered his men to search the entire Feather Clan but they couldn't find Chu Yingge, let alone Yu Yan. He dared not think of anything bad, but he couldn't help it.

If his songs no longer belong to him, what should he do?

Unable to find a breakthrough among the Feather Clan, Mu Ziyuan had no choice but to target Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao was initially upright and incorruptible, but when she saw the various instruments of torture in front of her, she panicked.

"Mu Ziyuan, you can't be so heartless. I even helped you relay a message to Chu Yingge back then, and this is how you repay me?"

"I am naturally very grateful for your help, but since I cannot tell you Ge'er's whereabouts, I will express my gratitude on the road to the underworld." As he spoke, Chao Yunnuo gave him a wink.

Yunnuo walked to the side of the torture instruments, carefully selected them, and finally picked up a handful of broken nails.

Su Xiaoxiao unconsciously swallowed. She was still a beautiful young girl, how could she withstand such torment? Really, it was Chu Yingge who caused the trouble, but in the end, she was the one to take the blame. What did she do wrong?

"Wait a minute, I'll talk, I'll talk, okay? You people are so rude."

"Tell me, where is he?"

These words were not spoken by Mu Ziyuan, but by Yun Nuo.
