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

But Chu Yin Ge just doesn't understand this.

In her opinion, whether she agreed to Yu Yan's request or rejected Yu Yan was entirely up to her own whim.

But now, she's unhappy, and most importantly, she's really tired.

If Mu Ziyuan hadn't appeared, she might have given Yu Yan another chance, but now she was already tired of it.

Standing in her seat, Chu Yingge gestured for Hongxiu to come over.

"Get them all out of this Netherworld Palace. If you can't do that, then you'll disappear from the Netherworld Palace."

"Yes, Palace Master." Hongxiu nodded in acceptance and walked up to Mu Ziyuan and Yu Yan, gesturing for them to proceed.

"I presume you two don't want to put me in a difficult position? If you insist on staying here, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Ge'er, are you really so heartless? I have never given up on you. Everything I have done is because of you. Why won't you give me a chance? I just need one chance."

"Ah Yuan, it's too late." Chu Yingge shook her head, said nothing more, closed her eyes, and gestured for Hongxiu to hurry the two away.

Indeed, if her bloodline had not awakened, she wouldn't have had so many entanglements with Yu Yan, and might even have had a connection with Mu Ziyuan.

But now, it's all too late.

When Mu Ziyuan and Yu Yan emerged from the Netherworld Palace, their faces were so gloomy they could drip water.

Mu Zi and Yun Nuo stepped forward and, seeing their Emperor's expression, knew that things had definitely not gone well.

Su Xiaoxiao and Yu Wei were the same; seeing their lord like this, they dared not say a word. Judging from his expression, he must have gotten no good from Chu Yingge.

However, Yun Nuo couldn't help but look behind her Emperor.

"Your Majesty, my mistress..."

"She doesn't want to go back with me."

"Why?" Yunnuo asked, puzzled.

Mu Ziyuan remained silent, but Su Xiaoxiao, standing to the side, began to mock him: "Why? Back then, this man left Chu Yingge alone in the Feather Clan. Do you think Chu Yingge, who is so vengeful, would easily go back with you? Don't be ridiculous!"

“Even if our master doesn’t come back with us, he won’t stay with you. Your master’s expression wasn’t much better either, was it?” Yun Nuo retorted sarcastically.

Su Xiaoxiao was not one to lose an argument, so she immediately rolled up her sleeves and started cursing.

“No matter what, my lord has never done anything to wrong Chu Yingge, but yours is a different story.”

"Of course it's different. After all, the Emperor and Master are truly in love. What are you compared to them!"

"What did you say? Say it again if you dare!" Su Xiaoxiao was furious and was about to fight Yun Nuo on the spot.

In the end, Yu Wei stopped them.

"Don't you even know who you are? You, a dignified divine physician, don't need to bother with a dog!" Yu Wei's words were full of sarcasm.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded and smiled, thinking that Yu Wei's words made a lot of sense.

Mu Zi frowned, walked up to Yun Nuo, and glanced at the Feather Guards: "Why belittle yourselves? Aren't you all just dogs of your Lord after all? Since we're all dogs, there's no need to look down on each other."

"Enough!" For the first time ever, Mu Ziyuan and Yu Yan were of one mind and said the same thing in unison.

The other four people looked at each other and eventually left.

Mu Ziyuan looked at Yu Yan with a gaze that seemed capable of tearing her to pieces, but wasn't Yu Yan feeling the same way? Just by looking at each other, they could already feel the electric current between their eyes.

After a moment, Yu Yan spoke first.

"I know you wish you could kill me, but for A-Ge's sake, put away your hatred. If I die, A-Ge won't live either."

"That's why you're able to stand safely in front of me and talk to me now."

“You should also be grateful that A-Ge still has feelings for you, otherwise, you would be a corpse right now,” Yu Yan retorted.

Mu Ziyuan snorted coldly, unwilling to say anything more, and led Mu Zi and Yun Nuo back home.

Chu Yingge gave the order to leave, and Yu Yan couldn't say anything more. She left the Netherworld Palace with Su Xiaoxiao and the guards.

Mu Ziyuan usurped the throne and seized control of the Feather Clan. The Feather Clan members were all driven to other places, and the entire Feather Clan was occupied by Mu Ziyuan's forces.

Yu Yan had no choice but to return to the Valley of Divine Healers with Su Xiaoxiao and settle down temporarily.

Mu Ziyuan came prepared. It will not be easy to drive Mu Ziyuan out of the Feather Clan. Moreover, Mu Ziyuan is no longer the same person he was before. He is no longer the king of the mere Qingshui Kingdom, but the emperor of the Nine Provinces. With a wave of his hand, he can send so many troops to crush the Feather Clan.

No matter how powerful the Feathered Clan is, they cannot fight them head-on.

Inside the Valley of Divine Healers, Su Xiaoxiao put the prepared pill into Yu Wei's mouth before turning her head to look at Yu Yan, who had no expression on her face.

"My Lord, I'm not trying to be mean, but look at what you've done! You've been guarding Chu Yingge for three years and haven't achieved anything. Not only that, but someone else has even taken over your place. I simply can't believe that you are the Lord I've always admired."

Yu Wei nudged Su Xiaoxiao with his elbow, signaling her to stop talking, but Su Xiaoxiao was not the kind of person who could keep quiet; once she opened her mouth, it was like... well, you know.

"My Lord, no matter what, you must think of a way to either take back the Feather Clan or capture Chu Yingge. You must accomplish at least one of these two things."

Things aren't as easy as you think.

"Of course I know it's not easy. If it were easy, what use would I have you!"

They are now in the Valley of Divine Healers, which is Su Xiaoxiao's territory, so she can say whatever she wants.

She rules her own territory, and no one dares to contradict her, not even Yu Yan.

Yu Wei stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to say. How could he not know that Su Xiaoxiao had such audacity, daring to yell at his own lord? Did Su Xiaoxiao think her life was too long?

However, Yu Wei secretly glanced at his master and was relieved to find that his master was not angry.

"Divine Physician, please stop talking. The Lord is also feeling bad."

"Why can't you tell me?"

Su Xiaoxiao sighed and patted Yu Yan's shoulder: "My lord, I know nothing can compare to Chu Yingge's place in your heart, but now that her main wife has come knocking on our door, your chances are really slim. You know, Mu Ziyuan has real feelings for Chu Yingge, but we don't."

"But I have an advantage that Mu Ziyuan can't match: my fate is connected with A Ge's, so I won't let them be together as they wish."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement; that was all her Lord was good at.

However, this little bit of good is not enough at all.

We need to think of other solutions.

"My Lord, I think we need to change our strategy. Chu Yingge and Mu Ziyuan have become powerful, and we can't use force against them. Why don't you suffer a little, and we'll stage a self-inflicted injury?"

"What do you want?"

"Isn't your fate connected to Chu Yingge's? You force Mu Ziyuan to attack you. That way, Chu Yingge will sense it. She'll definitely think, 'Mu Ziyuan knows your fates are connected, yet he still attacks you. It seems he doesn't care about her.' That way, Chu Yingge will develop a prejudice against Mu Ziyuan from the bottom of her heart. Don't you think so?"

“This method won’t work.” Before Yu Yan could speak, Yu Wei spoke first.

Su Xiaoxiao looked up, puzzled, and asked, "Why doesn't it work?"

"Mu Ziyuan's feelings for Miss Age are no less than those of the Venerable Lord. Now that he knows that the Venerable Lord and Miss Age are connected by fate, he will never do anything to betray Miss Age."

"What you said does make some sense. In that case, I really don't have any better ideas. You guys figure it out yourselves. Anyway, I don't want to get involved in your mess anymore. Chu Yingge is already a headache enough, and now Mu Ziyuan has come along. It's really annoying!"

"Alright, alright, stop talking. Let's give our Lord some time to think it over." With that, the guard forcibly pulled Su Xiaoxiao away.

In any case, this is his own business, so the decisions and ideas to be made should be made by his own lord.

Su Xiaoxiao wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Yu Wei, so she didn't say anything and left with Yu Wei.

In the empty room, only Yu Yan remained.

Inside the Feather Clan's sleeping quarters, Mu Ziyuan sat in his seat, his face so dark that no one dared to approach him. Mu Zi stood cautiously to the side, not daring to breathe.

But Yun Nuo is different. She was originally Chu Yingge's person. Although she was wary of Mu Ziyuan, she wasn't that afraid of him.

"Your Majesty, if it really doesn't work, I'll go and try to persuade the mistress. She might just be angry for a moment."

"No, you're wrong. Ge'er isn't angry; things are different now. Her fate is intertwined with Yu Yan's, and there's no way for her to come back."

"So the Emperor just watched Master and that man together?" Yun Nuo asked incredulously.

Mu Ziyuan suddenly raised his head, a deep hatred flashing in his eyes: "Of course not, but before that, I must unravel their destinies, otherwise, even if I take Ge'er away, it won't be a long-term solution."

"Does Your Majesty know a way to break free from the curse of fate?"

"I don't know." Mu Ziyuan shook his head, and after a moment, a glint of light flashed in his eyes: "But I think someone will know eventually."

"What Your Majesty says is true..."

"Just an old friend."

As Mu Ziyuan spoke, the smile on his face grew increasingly sinister. How could he have forgotten the culprit behind the whole thing?

It's just freedom, isn't it? He can use that as a bargaining chip.
