Chapter 370: Phoenix

So the strange heavenly phenomenon had nothing to do with her bleeding? It had to do with this… well a bird with wings yet not many feathers here in the space?

Gu Chaoyan’s face twitched and she had a complicated expression on her face.

As far as she could tell, that bird was a phoenix, but it looked so ugly, if not seen discreetly.

Gu Chaoyan’s eyes revealed what she was thinking, so the bird which was seated by the magical water flipped its wings just to express its dissatisfaction.

Gu Chaoyan approached the bird, and made a careful observation of the bird. Where did it come from?

She tried to recall carefully and remembered that the bird must have come from the egg she and Zhou Huaijin had picked from the mountains earlier. So she had gotten a piece of treasure?

“Hey!” Gu Chaoyan shouted at the phoenix without feathers.

The phoenix turned around, ignoring her.

Gu Chaoyan shifted position and the bird turned around against her again.

After a short while, Gu Chaoyan gave up and healed her wound with the magical water.

When she ignored the bird, the bird approached her and gazed at her.

Their eyes met.

Gu Chaoyan found it quite embarrassing – what was she staring at a bird for?

However, the bird seemed quite communicative with her somehow.

She thought for a while and asked. “You know those birds were gathered because of you?”

The bird shook her head.

No? Then…

Gu Chaoyan checked her hand and saw the wound was healed completely.

Sword One must be on the way in too. She caressed the bird’s head. “There are fruits here, just grab them for yourself, if you are hungry. I am busy and I am taking off now.”

Having said these words, Gu Chaoyan left the space without any more lingering.

She took up a cup of tea and sipped it.

Sword One came in with pastries and placed them in front of Gu Chaoyan. “Elder Miss, something strange happened. Those birds have left!”

“Just now?” Gu Chaoyan asked.

“Yes.” Sword One answered. “And Sword Two has headed to the mansion. Don’t worry, Elder Miss, the Lord will plan it well.”

Gu Chaoyan nodded, her mind drifting away.

If those birds flew away a moment ago, then that happened after her wound was healed. When she asked if the phoenix had something to do with those birds and it denied that, then it must have something to do with her own blood.

If that was real… Gu Chaoyan found that everything seemed scarily peculiar.

At the front yard…

Lord Ling accompanied Gu Ruxue to the room and left in a hurry after Gu Ruxue settled down with the maids. Then he asked his guard to fetch Gu Zhenkang.

Gu Zhenkang looked quite radidant. He felt totally honored, when he heard that Lord Ling was spending some time here at the mansion. None of the concubines married to the Lord Ling would have such treatment, even the Princess Consort could not have received such treatment. It seemed that Ruxue was going to have a wonderful future. He knew he had set the right bet.

The daughter of the businessman was not a match against Ruxue, not at all! He came to the lobby with a smile. “Lord Ling, is there anything you need? The guest room is ready.”
