Chapter 185 The Illusion in the Stable

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Though the bat venom was removed, Phoenix still felt distressed. Her father wanted to kill her for Chidi. Su Chenyang didn’t sleep for several nights for fear that she could get over it. The woman cried all day. The princess, who had been willful, was now very weak. Wuyou was worried about Phoenix, too. To cheer her up, Su Chenyang cooked the steamed bass that Phoenix loved.

The delicious food on the table was her father’s regular dish. The bass tasted delicious. When she was young, her father always picked out the fish bones and poured the soup on the dish. Phoenix always enjoyed the fat bass alone. Her father knew that she liked it, and would always pick the fat bass and cook for her baby daughter. Who would have thought her father would kill her?

“This is Aunt Phoenix’s favorite.” Xiao Douya put a piece of fish in the small bowl and held it carefully.

“I won’t eat it. Give it to Douya.” Phoenix picked up the little boy. She was very fond of the child. The little boy finally grew up. She remembered that when he was born, his face was smaller than an adult’s fist. When he grabbed the fish, he worried that the soup might spill, so he put his small hand under it.

“Uncle Yang’s fish is delicious.” The tender fish fell into Phoenix’s mouth. The child was so clever that he put a piece of fish in her mouth while Phoenix was talking. Phoenix tasted it slowly. Although the taste was not as good as what her father did, it was full of affection. Phoenix began to chew.

“Watch out for the fishbone.” Su Chenyang picked through the fish and looked for the bone. Wuyou’s mouth turned up. This was probably what love looked like. When you were unhappy, the people who loved you would do everything to please you, just to make you happy. Phoenix watched Su Chenyang silently, never thinking that Su Chenyang would be like this.

“It’s good to have you.” Phoenix clutched his big hand as the man continued to grab the slippery fish.

“I’m afraid it’s not good.” Phoenix’s mouth smelled of fish and her eyes filled with tears. Su Chenyang wiped her tears gently with his big hand.

“Daddy left me…” She kept crying. Looking at her, Wuyou felt sad. The cheerful woman was gone. Nascent Soul would be a thorn in all her life.

“Aunt Phoenix, don’t cry. Uncle Yang, little brother and I will accompany you.” The little boy held Phoenix and wiped her cheek. Phoenix felt a pain at the corners of her mouth. The fresh scab was torn open.

“It didn’t hurt…” Phoenix laughed brightly. Although she lost her father, she had her husband, her child, and her best friend. For fun, Yan Wu put on a show. Liu Ruoshui put on costumes that had big, ruffle sleeves, wearing golden curly hair. Xiao Douya kept his eye on Yan Wu.

“This is yours, Douya.” A yellow cowl fell on Xiao Douya’s head. The beaded robe wrapped around his small body. Because the robe was too long, Xiao Douya fell over several times. Phoenix had never seen such a costume and was curious about it. Before Xiao Douya could finish his line, Yan Wu hit him with a wooden knife. Douya came up to take Yan Wu’s wooden knife.

“Douya, get down on the floor. Be a dead man,” Wuyou reminded him.

Xiao Douya didn’t care. He took Yan Wu’s wooden knife and stroked it back and forth with his little hand. It was the first time that he had seen anything so beautiful.

“Xiao Douya, you’re dead. Get down on the ground.” Before Liu Ruoshui had not played, the play could not go on.

“I can’t die!” Yan Wu twitched his lips. Douya went on strike. Phoenix stopped frowning. The courtyard was filled with hearty laughter.

“Aunt Phoenix is smiling…” Douya burrowed into his mother’s arms. What he did just now was meant to make Phoenix happy.

“You are such a genius.” Knowing it was his farce, Phoenix felt warm. Without her father, she still had people who loved her.

“Fox, I feel awful here!” Phoenix tapped her chest. Wuyou knew what it was like. When her mother left her, she felt the whole world collapse. She had been having nightmares. Phoenix should be in the same mood as she was. Only when she truly got over it could she let it go. Wuyou filled Phoenix’s cup with wine. The wine was the only thing that could make her forget her sadness. Phoenix drained the cup. Then she had a few more drinks and went to sleep. Su Chenyang took pity on her. Nascent Soul really broke Phoenix’s heart. They didn’t know what happened to their child. Settling Phoenix, Su Chenyang was going to pick up the child. He said goodbye to Wuyou, but Wuyou stopped him.

“What would Phoenix do if something happened to you?” Phoenix concealed her identity for Su Chenyang for hundreds of years, which showed she was infatuated with him. Nascent Soul tried to kill his daughter, let alone anyone else.

“He’s crazy. How can he take care of my child?” How could a father abandon his child?

‘I’ll go with you!” As Phoenix’s best friend, Wuyou only wanted her family to be safe.

“Commander, thank you.” Having this friend was a blessing accumulated over several lifetimes.

“Don’t call me commander anymore.” Past events had faded like a puff of smoke. She just wanted to forget the Fairy Kingdom.

“You’ll always be my leader.” As they left the hall gate, they flew toward the fire tribe. The flames of war spread all the way.

Nascent Soul got new servants. They entered the palace carefully. There were many extra guards on the way to the Eastern Palace. Wuyou knocked a lot of people unconscious. Su Chenyang went straight to the palace. After not seeing his child for several days, he missed him very much.

“Who are you?” A Spiritual Power swept over, but Su Chenyang escaped the attack.

“Your Highness,” said the guard contemptuously. Things had changed. He had been promoted to the second grade officer, and Su Chenyang became a homeless dog. They were far apart. Of course the guard wouldn’t let Su Chenyang go. After all, it was a good chance to win honor. He gathered Spiritual Power to attack Su Chenyang, but was overcome by Su Chenyang. The guard didn’t expect Su Chenyang to pinch his neck.

“Where is my son?” The guard shook his head. He was here to kill, and I didn’t know where the Young Master was.

“Now that you don’t know, I’ll kill you.” A woman came out of the corner. The guard was astounded.

“Demon… Woman.” The guard’s finger trembled, “Why did the fox spirit come to the fire tribe? No, I must inform the leader.” The guard rushed out of the palace door when no one was watching, but it was not so easy to escape. Su tied the guard down with her spiritual fingers.

“I mean what I say.” Wuyou made a blow. The shattering of bones was heard from the guard. Then the guard got down on his knees.

“Where is the Young Master hidden?” The guard shivered with pain. The blow was strong cruel that it broke his patella.

“The Young Master has been taken to the camp by the leader.” Wuyou gave him another blow. The guard spit blood and died. To keep him alive was to invite trouble.

Su Chenyang flew to the camp. He and Wuyou performed the skill of invisibility and ran to the camp. The camp was clear, Emperor Jun sitting at the head. The Triple Alliance came. Zhu Jiuyin as always wore red brocade, with black silk auspicious clouds pattern. Chidi looked very high-profile in his embroidered robe. Nascent Soul sat on the right. Although it was the fire tribe’s camp, the people’s status was obvious. Emperor Jun’s authority was unchallenged. A man’s clothes were full of spirit light. The deployment diagram was suspended in mid-air, with fortresses marked. Wuyou saw Xiao Qi’s location at a glance. The Triple Alliance was ready, and Xiao Qi would not win easily.

“Hello, Your Majesty.” Di Qing was a bit embarrassed when he hurried in. There were two other people in the camp besides Chidi. They couldn’t afford to mess with these people. Emperor Jun looked down upon this man. Today he had done it for the sake of the Devil King. They had no interest in the man from the human world.

“Hurry and find my son.” Nascent Soul had nothing to do with him. Su Chenyang wanted to find his son quickly. He and Wuyou walked along the camp toward the main tent. His son might be hidden in the main tent. Did Nascent Soul take the kid to camp to hold him hostage because he was afraid Phoenix would take his military rights? If so, Nascent Soul was hopeless. He had no regard for the last affection. Su Chenyang was all about finding his son. They went through the main tent with disappointing results. They seemed to have to ask someone. Otherwise, until dawn, they could not search such a large camp through. Wuyou walked out of the main tent and quietly followed the scouts. By the time they reached the corner, she struck a soldier. The soldier fell stiff.

“Where’s the Young Master?” The soldier was incoherent with fear. He thought he was unlucky enough to meet a woman while urinating.

“Who are you talking about?” The soldier tried to fool them because he was afraid of Nascent Soul’s punishment. Wuyou was impatient and gave him a slap, making him see spots. Wuyou put more pressure on him, and spirit pressure made him gasp.

“In the stable.” When Su Chenyang heard that his baby son was in the stable, he wanted to hit Nascent Soul with a knife. Wuyou picked up the soldier and flew to the stable.

Su Chenyang pushed the stable door open.

In the faint light, what Wuyou saw was not a horse but a creeping monster. She knew the soldier was trying to trick them. Wuyou swept away. After the smoke, the monster took on a human form. Wuyou was about to cast her supernatural power when the dark horse’s belly cracked in the corner and a flash of light shot out. Slowly, a black head appeared. When its whole body was exposed, Wuyou saw that it was a huge lizard. In the light, the lizard changed. Its legs stretched out. Wuyou was surprised when she saw it again. “How did the Wolf King come back to life? I killed him myself.” Wuyou struck out. The Wolf King vanished like a phantom as she punched it. Su Chenyang saw something else—his son climbed up from the haystack. Su Chenyang flew toward it. The child seemed very close to him, but he couldn’t get any closer.

“It’s been cursed. Watch out.” Nascent Soul was so vicious that he used his grandson. He must have expected Su Chenyang to come, so he set a trap ahead of time. How sad Phoenix would be if she knew that her father had set a trap for the people closest to her! But now they could only solve the immediate problem first. Wuyou gathered her Spiritual Power and lit the horse lamp. To drive away these phantoms, one must calm down. Heavenly incantations could disturb one’s mind and mood. When the phantom usurped one’s mind, the person was controlled by the person in the phantom. These formed phantoms were little more than tricks of the mind, but they were not easy to undo. Phantoms had thousands of years of practice. After they were put under a spell, they became suckers. The man behind the scene found this remote place to do this thing. If his purpose was the soul, the most appropriate place should be the capital city. There were so many people there that it was hard to find anyone missing. Then, this guy should have a taboo. He dared not drink blood recklessly. It was also possible that the host was dying, so he needed a large amount of vital essence, and he had to find some demons owning foundation.

These demons were merely junior demons, and what they sucked was souls. God knew who was the receiver? Wuyou flicked his spiritual finger. At the time, the demon realized that there was an intruder in the stable.

“Close your eyes and be still. Only in this way does the soul won’t be eroded.” Wuyou reminded Su Chenyang. Remembering their purpose, Su Chenyang took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Only in this way could their spirit be prevented from being invaded.

With the Heavenly Book, Wuyou was certainly not afraid of the heavenly incantation. She could go out as long as she could find the exit. The surging floating light deliberately disturbed Su Chenyang’s mood. Wuyou put a spiritual barrier for Su Chenyang, hoping to get out of the stable early. Phantoms came from far. Su Chenyang’s mouth was oozing blood. Wuyou flicked a spirit light to the drops of blood. In the spirit light, Wuyou saw where she was. They had been in the main tent.

Their Spiritual Power forced all the way to the monster. The monster showed no weakness, and punched Su Chenyang. The Spiritual Power net held the monster tightly. Suddenly there was a noise, and a powerful Spiritual Power penetrated the stable. The monster was carried out by the Spiritual Power and flew to the west where the commander’s tent was. Wuyou followed. It was really hard to get out of the camp.
