Chapter 41 Night Phoenix Emerged

The Feng's House in Can City

The weeping willows surrounding the pond brushed the water, startling some goldfish near the surface as they dove to escape. They sent ripples spreading that grew as they crossed the pond. The sound of the cicadas shrill rasped insistently and the hot weather became tiresome. The view of the pond was beautiful, although, no one was in the mood to enjoy it.

Lotus flowers were blooming in the corner of the pond. A single red lotus stood out among white lotuses, dazzling, out of place in the quiet, tranquil pond.

A lady sat in a pavilion near the pond leaning on a wooden rail. Her gown was white and looked like one of the lotuses on the lake. She appeared less like a young girl and more like a mature woman with her elegant yet simple hairstyle and the expression in her eyes.

She looked up, raising her head, and looked over the scene of the pond. With pinked sculpted cheeks, lush, red lips, scintillating eyes, and snowy-white skin, she was a rare beauty.

"Mistress!" Two identical servants appeared by her side. Though not as beautiful as the lady, they were elegant and graceful.

One servant spoke slowly: "Anu told me that the Young Master would be home tomorrow at this time."

The lady raised her brows and said slowly, "It's time for him to be home."

The other servant clearly not happy, frowned adding, "Mistress, why bend over backwards? Since he is ruthless, we can put a flea in his ear!"

In a calm voice the lady inquired, "How is Tan Yueyue?"

The servant pouted, saying reluctantly, "She is doing well, and will have her baby in two days."

"Qi, are you feeling wronged dressing like this?" The lady teased.

The servant yelled: "You are an unscrupulous Mistress. You know I don't mean it."

"So, you like dressing this way! You may dress like this from now on, okay?" She taunted jokingly.

The servant realized the Mistress was teasing and threw, "I don't mind, but what of you? This will damage your image, won't it, Mister Night Phoenix!"

gxuan, followed a servant into Yun's House, carried his wife who was near death. So focused on his wife as he stared down at her, even the beauty of the homes couldn't get his attention.

He turned a bend, and a green bamboo forest leaped out in front of him. The bamboo leaves swaying with the wind, gave a melody as they moved, like a song of nature. Magnolia flowers were planted in the gaps of the bamboos. The main attraction were the lotus flowers in the pond though.

It surprised visitors to see that these lotus flowers were all red, like rosy clouds in the sky.

There was a figure standing near the pond, looking mysterious in red clothes that bore a black and golden phoenix. He stood straight, which took the shine off the world. There was a red tassel hairpin with the symbol of Mister Night Phoenix, clasping his hair, some black hairs escaped and rested on his shoulders.

Two identical men, one in white with bamboo on his clothes, the other had white with green magnolia flowers, stood on either side of Mister Night Phoenix.

The servant leading Duan Mingxuan withdrew now. He felt stressed, and looking over these three before him, did not alleviate it any. He walked up to them and knelt before them on one knee.

"Please, Mister Night Phoenix, save my wife. I will do anything if you just please, save her!" He pleaded.
