Goddess Emperor Phoenix: Rebirth Against Heaven

Huang'er slowly opened her eyes, and her hazy sight fell on the unfamiliar space in front of her. She moved her body slightly and felt that she was lying on a soft big bed, surrounded by a gorgeously decorated room.

"Where is this?" she muttered to herself, trying to remember how she got here.

My mind was blank, and I couldn't recall the scene before I fell asleep. The last thing I remembered was that I got lost in the vast forest and didn't know how to get out. It seemed that I was rescued by someone and placed in this strange place.

Huang Er slowly sat up and looked around carefully. The luxurious and spacious room showed that the owner was either rich or noble. Looking out the window, tall city walls could be vaguely seen under the blue sky and white clouds. It seemed that this should be a magnificent palace somewhere.

"It seems that this place should be where those noble royal relatives live." Huang'er guessed secretly.

Although she came from an ordinary family, she was not an ordinary woman. She had extraordinary appearance and cultivation since she was a child, and was called "Goddess" by the locals. Due to this reputation, Huang'er was often coveted by men from noble or powerful families, and almost became a hostage or plaything.

For this reason, she chose to stay away from people and live in seclusion in the remote mountains and forests. But she didn't expect that when she got lost in the mountains and forests, she would encounter such a superior environment. Could it be that she was saved by that noble master?

This speculation made Huang Er feel a little uneasy. She knew that although she was of ordinary status, she had outstanding appearance and good cultivation, which would easily attract the covetousness of wealthy families. Now she was placed in such a luxurious palace, which made her full of doubts.

Just as she was thinking about how to respond, the door was suddenly pushed open. A beautiful palace maid walked in. Seeing that Huang'er had woken up, she couldn't help but smile in surprise and said, "So you're awake, that's great. I'll go and ask the master to come over now."

Having said that, she quickly retreated, leaving Huang'er alone in confusion.

A moment later, the door was opened again, and a man in a gorgeous robe walked in. He was handsome, tall, and had eyes as deep and charming as obsidian.

"So you're awake." The man smiled and said gently, "I'm the owner here, my name is Yu Xian. You've been resting in my mansion for three whole days, which really worried me."

Huang Er didn't know how to answer for a moment, so she just bowed her head and said, "Thank you for saving my life, Master. But, I don't know how I got here?"

"I was patrolling the border that day and encountered you unconscious in the forest." Yu Xian explained calmly, "Seeing that you were seriously injured, I had someone take you back to the mansion for treatment. Fortunately, we arrived in time and you were not seriously injured."

After hearing this explanation, Huang Er heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that she was not saved by a noble person, but just happened to be picked up by this master. However, she still couldn't help but ask with doubt: "But why did the master save an ordinary woman like me?"

"Ordinary?" Yu Xian chuckled, "I think you are not an ordinary woman. You have a beautiful face and outstanding temperament. You are clearly a beautiful lady from a noble family. When I saw your expression after you woke up, I felt that you are not simple."

Huang Er couldn't help but be slightly startled. Facing the praise from this strange man, she was a little overwhelmed. After all, she had been accustomed to being called a "goddess" since she was a child, and she was not too impressed by the praise from ordinary people.

At this moment, Yu Xian's eyes wandered over her for a long time, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. This made Huang Er feel a little flustered, and she subconsciously turned her head away, not daring to look him in the eye.

Feeling her shyness, Yu Xian raised a meaningful smile. He slowly walked to the bed and sat down beside Huang'er. "Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you. I just want to know, since you are not an ordinary woman, who are you? Where did you come from?"

Huang Er hesitated for a moment, but still gave a brief introduction of her life story. She explained that she came from an ordinary farmer's family and was regarded as a "goddess" by the locals since she was a child, so she had been living in seclusion in the mountains, away from the hustle and bustle. It was not until she got lost in the mountains a few days ago that she was rescued by Yu Xian.

"I see." Yu Xian nodded, "It seems that you are indeed an extraordinary woman. You can cultivate to such a level in this remote mountain, which shows that you have the potential to excel."

After saying this, he reached out and gently stroked Huang'er's cheek, saying tenderly: "Since you are lost and injured here, why don't you stay in my mansion for a while and rest. When your injuries are healed, I will personally take you back home."

Huang Er was startled and subconsciously grabbed Yu Xian's wrist, "Master, how can this be so embarrassing? I am just an ordinary woman, and I am not worthy of being a guest in your house. Besides, my hometown is far away from here, you are really worrying too much."

"Oh? You think you are an ordinary woman?" Yu Xian smiled softly, "I just said that you are a beautiful lady from a noble family. Since I have rescued you, I will naturally treat you well. Besides, since you are lost here, it is my responsibility to help you return home safely."

As he said that, he took back his hand and looked at Huang'er meaningfully, "You don't have to be polite. It's only natural for you to rest in my house. You should take good care of your injuries. When you recover, I will send you back."

Hearing his insistence, Huang Er could no longer refuse. She hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Since the master says so, I will respectfully obey your command."

"Very good." Yu Xian smiled with satisfaction, stood up and walked out the door, "I will have someone take good care of you. You have a good rest, and when your injury is healed, I will take you to see this palace."

After saying that, he pushed the door open and walked out, leaving Huang'er alone in deep thought.

After Yu Xian left, Huang Er subconsciously touched her cheek, where Yu Xian's warm touch still remained. She couldn't help but blush, and an indescribable throbbing rose in her heart.

"What's going on? I'm an ordinary woman who has never been intimate with a man. Why do I have such feelings towards this strange master?" She shook her head secretly, trying to suppress the complicated emotions in her heart.

However, when she recalled Yu Xian's gentle gaze and intimate actions, Huang Er couldn't help but feel her heart beating faster. This strange feeling made her feel both excited and scared.

"Am I really attracted to this master?" she murmured, feeling a little flustered.

As a woman who has always lived in seclusion in the mountains and has never been in contact with the secular world, Huang Er is too unfamiliar with this kind of heart-thumping feeling. She has been regarded as a "goddess" since she was a child, and many men from wealthy families have coveted her, but she has never had this kind of throbbing for anyone.

But now, the man who called himself "Yu Xian" easily aroused her deepest feelings. This made Huang Er feel confused and flustered.

"Am I so in love with him?" she asked herself, frowning slightly and looking conflicted.

This indescribable feeling made the always self-sufficient Huang Er flustered. She was a little afraid of this strange feeling, but she couldn't help but feel a little curious and attached to Yu Xian.

Who exactly is this master? Why is he so concerned about me? And why do I have such feelings for a man I have never met?

All kinds of doubts flashed through Huang'er's mind. She couldn't help but hug herself tightly and fell into deep thought.

At the same time, in another side hall of the palace, Yu Xian was looking out the window in deep thought. His brows were slightly furrowed, and a hint of complexity flickered in his eyes.

"This woman is indeed not simple." He muttered to himself, "Her appearance and temperament are very different from those of ordinary women. In addition, her extraordinary cultivation, it seems that her life experience must be not simple."

Yu Xian gently stroked his chin, his eyes gradually revealing a trace of calculation, "In this case, I have to observe this woman carefully to see what secrets she hides."

He smiled secretly, with a cunning gleam in his eyes.

In this palace, a dispute that is difficult to resolve is quietly unfolding.
