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

For the past three years, every day has been a form of torture, one that no one can understand or comprehend.

Everything could have gradually returned to calm, but now, turbulent waves are raging, disturbing her peace.

Even so, she would not compromise.

She had decided to completely withdraw from this game; she no longer cared what Yu Yan and Mu Ziyuan did.

If Mu Ziyuan kills Yu Yan, then she will die with Yu Yan; if Yu Yan kills Mu Ziyuan, then she will go and be buried with Mu Ziyuan. In short, let these two do whatever they want with her life.

"I'm genuinely surprised that you're the one who cares about me in the end. Since you're already here, stay in this Netherworld Palace and keep me company. I've been a bit lonely these past three years."

"Alright, Yunnuo will not go anywhere, she will stay here with Master."

……

Inside the Valley of Divine Healers, Su Xiaoxiao's spies returned and gave a brief account of the situation. Throughout the entire conversation, Yu Yan's face remained gloomy, and needless to say, she was in a bad mood.

Su Xiaoxiao felt a little helpless and waved her hand to let the informant leave.

"Your Majesty, you should take some action. If this continues, you will have no chance with the Feather Clan and Chu Yingge."

"What other actions can I take? I used to be able to forcibly keep A-Ge here, but who is A-Ge's match now?"

Yu Yan's words were true. Now, if Chu Yingge was unwilling, neither he nor Mu Ziyuan could do anything about it. His only advantage was that his fate was connected to Chu Yingge's, which made Mu Ziyuan dare not act recklessly.

That's true, but Su Xiaoxiao felt it was too stifling.

It's really a bit unreasonable that a dignified leader of the Feather Clan has been forced to this point. But there's nothing we can do. Our leader is just so stubborn, always looking before and after, afraid of everything.

"Lord, although we can't force Chu Yingge to do anything, we should at least take back our territory. That shameless Mu Ziyuan has occupied the Feather Clan's land for so long, shouldn't he return it?"

"What do you mean by taking it?"

“Just the Lord himself is enough,” Su Xiaoxiao said, a wicked smile on her face.

Immediately, Yu Wei understood Su Xiaoxiao's meaning. His master's fate was related to Chu Yingge. Just for this reason, Mu Ziyuan would never allow Yu Yan to suffer any harm, because Mu Ziyuan deeply loved Chu Yingge and would never see Chu Yingge get hurt.

As a result, none of Mu Ziyuan's men dared to lay a hand on Yu Yan, making it incredibly easy to reclaim the Feather Clan.

This was Su Xiaoxiao's thought, and Yu Wei's understanding was the same, but it was ruthlessly rejected by Yu Yan.

The reason is that he wouldn't take advantage of Chu Yinge.

Su Xiaoxiao was truly furious. Was this person still her Lord? How could he have become such an upright and incorruptible person? Chu Yingge, you have really caused a lot of harm. You should know that before meeting you, the Lord was notorious for being ruthless!

What is it about you that you could make the Lord reform?

After catching her breath, Su Xiaoxiao tried her best to calm herself down, and a fake smile appeared on her face.

"Lord, what time is it already? Why are you still thinking about these trivial things? If you don't take down the Feather Clan, Chu Yingge will really look down on you. Do you really want to see Chu Yingge and Mu Ziyuan living happily ever after?"

"If this is indeed A-Ge's choice in the end..." Yu Yan didn't finish her sentence, but Su Xiaoxiao understood what she meant.

Suddenly, I was stunned.

After chasing for so long, is it finally time to give up? But why does she always feel as if something is being pulled out of her body, causing some pain and discomfort?

This realization also brought Su Xiaoxiao panic.

"My Lord, how could you have such thoughts? Haven't you always been determined not to give up? How could this be..."

"Age is tired, and so am I."

If it were before, Yu Yan wouldn't have had such thoughts, but that day in the Netherworld Palace, the moment Chu Yingge fell asleep, he suddenly realized that his constant pressure had been wrong all along.

Seeing his beloved Age in so much pain, he felt truly distressed.

Over the past three years, Chu Yingge was not the only one who experienced pain; he did too.

Therefore, if the final decision is truly A-Ge's heartfelt choice, then he will support it, and he will also relinquish his control over this game.

Let A-Ge go, let him go.

Su Xiaoxiao was at a loss for words, feeling a deep and indescribable bitterness. To say she was giving up at this moment meant that her Lord was truly exhausted.

But giving up is for the best. Only by giving up on Chu Yinge will the days ahead not be so difficult.

"Don't worry, my lord. Once you decide to give up, I will make you a potion of forgetfulness, and I guarantee that you will never remember who Chu Yingge is again. That way, you won't be so sad."

"I don't want to forget A-Ge."

“But Chu Yingge is no longer on the Lord’s side, so what’s the point of the Lord remembering her?”

"As long as you can remember it, it has meaning."

"..." Su Xiaoxiao's eyes twitched uncontrollably; she simply couldn't understand the thought process of the person in front of her.

He wanted to say a few more words, but was forcibly stopped by the guards.

Yu Wei pulled Su Xiaoxiao out of the room, looking helpless: "Don't say anything more. The Lord has his own decisions to make regarding matters concerning him."

"I just want to help the Lord."

"This isn't something we can decide."

"But look at how the Lord is now. How can this continue? Can't you think of a solution? Otherwise, I'm afraid the Lord really won't be able to hold on."

After a moment of contemplation, Yu Wei said, "All the answers are in Chu Yingge's hands, and we cannot persuade Chu Yingge, so it is destined that we cannot interfere in this matter. You know what kind of relationship Chu Yingge and Mu Ziyuan have. If she really had to make a choice, Chu Yingge would never choose the Lord."

"That's right, Chu Yingge is too heartless. I've been moved over the past three years, but Chu Yingge acts like nothing happened. Sometimes I wonder what she's thinking, or if her heart is really made of stone."

"What's the point of saying all this now?"

Yu Wei sighed, his voice filled with sorrow.

Chu Yingge is ultimately a knife in his master's heart. Sooner or later, this knife will continue to plunge in, and he will have to bear the pain alone.

……

Inside the Feather Clan's sleeping quarters.

Scattered wine bottles can be seen everywhere.

Mu Ziyuan slumped to the ground, his eyes bloodshot, unaware of his condition.

He had never felt so desolate before. When he was forced to give up on Chu Yingge, he still had hope, but now he had no hope at all. This disparity was something he really couldn't accept.

His song's fate is intertwined with that of another person. Is this destiny? Is it destined that they are destined to be together but not to stay together?

Mu Zi returned to the Feather Clan, quickly treated her wounds, and headed towards the sleeping quarters. As soon as she entered, she saw wine jugs scattered all over the floor and her master, who was drunk.

Mu Zi felt a little sad. She walked over and picked up the wine jugs one by one from the ground. She then poured herself a cup of tea and brought it over.

"Your Majesty, your body is not suited to drinking alcohol. Why don't you have some tea to sober up?"

"No need. Since Ge'er is gone anyway, what does it matter whether my body is good or bad?" Mu Ziyuan's body is not as strong as it appears. In the past three years, in order to make himself stronger, he has made his own body deteriorate.

Without a word, Mu Zi snatched the wine pot from Mu Ziyuan's hand, feeling both heartache and helplessness.

"Why does Your Majesty make things so difficult for yourself? People can come up with solutions. Continuing to be depressed like this is not a good strategy."

"Easier said than done. How do we come up with a solution? Should we think of one or the other?" Mu Ziyuan narrowed his eyes, feeling the light was a bit too bright.

"I've done so much and put in so much effort just to bring Ge'er back. Now that I have the ability, Ge'er no longer belongs to me. How can I be at peace?"

"Things haven't reached the final stage yet. Who knows what might happen? Your Majesty hasn't given up in the past three years, so you can't turn back at this crucial moment. Besides, Your Majesty, there's no turning back for you."

"Yes, there's no turning back."

Mu Ziyuan pondered for a moment, his face full of disappointment.

He gave up so much, hoping only to have one person for life, but even this simple wish was ultimately not fulfilled.

Mu Zi instructed the servants to prepare dinner, but Mu Ziyuan couldn't eat a single bite.

That's true. If he can finish eating it now, that would really show how capable Mu Ziyuan is.

Unwilling to give up, Mu Zi had no choice but to put her dinner aside and keep it warm with hot water, intending to wait until her master was ready to eat.

Mu Ziyuan lay on the bed, having drunk too much alcohol, and unknowingly fell into a deep sleep.

Mu Zi stood to the side and sighed several times.

Over the years, he had watched these two people come this far. He wouldn't even mention the many hardships they had faced along the way. The depth of their relationship was beyond what most people could imagine. However, at this moment, everything seemed to be going in the opposite direction, and they couldn't get back to the way they were on.

If this is a trial given to his emperor by God, then this trial is far too painful.

The saying "Lovers in the world will eventually be united" is just a phrase in books. In real life, how many people actually achieve this?

After tucking the person in bed with the blanket, Mu Zi turned around and left the bedroom. Perhaps only when Yun Nuo returned would everything be settled.
