Goddess Emperor Phoenix: Rebirth Against Heaven

At night, the moonlight shines like silver on the vast land, illuminating this mysterious and exotic jungle. Deep in the jungle, a towering palace stands in the silence, exuding an indescribable solemnity.

At this moment, in a side hall of the imperial palace, a woman in a white dress was silently gazing at the moonlight outside the window. Her skin was as white as cream, her eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as paintings, and she looked like a woman with an unparalleled beauty. This was the legendary goddess, the Emperor Phoenix - Ye Huang.

Ye Huang slowly stood up, walked to the window with light steps, stretched out her hand to gently open the curtain, and looked into the distance. Under the silvery moonlight, there was a vague figure moving through the jungle. Ye Huang frowned slightly, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

"Your Highness, is there anything that worries you so much?" the palace maid beside him asked respectfully.

Ye Huang turned her head and said gently: "Nothing, I just think the moonlight tonight is particularly charming." She paused and continued: "You go down first, I want to be alone."

The palace maid nodded respectfully and left the side hall.

Ye Huang looked out the window again, her eyes flickering. She had a vague feeling that something big was going to happen tonight.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside, and then a panicked guard rushed in, knelt on the ground and gasped, saying: "Your Highness, it's not good! Outside the palace...outside the palace...there is...there is a figure...I don't know...I don't know if it is an enemy or a friend!"

Ye Huang's expression was stern, and he said in a deep voice: "Who is it? Tell me quickly!"

The guard stammered, "I... I don't know either. I just saw someone moving through the forest, and his figure was unknown."

Ye Huang frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said coldly: "Send someone to check, if it is an enemy, take action immediately!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" The guard responded and left.

Ye Huang stood there, took a deep breath, and a determined light flashed in her eyes. She felt that something big was going to happen tonight, and this might be her chance to turn things around.

At this moment, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew in from the window, rolling up Ye Huang's long hair. Suddenly, a black shadow appeared in front of the window, and a tall man walked in slowly.

Ye Huang's expression changed, and he subconsciously took a few steps back, and asked nervously: "Who... who are you?!"

The man walked steadily, his eyes were like torches, staring into Ye Huang's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

Ye Huang calmed down and took a closer look. She saw that the man was handsome and imposing. Although he looked a little cold, he also exuded an unparalleled majesty. She was moved and asked cautiously: "Who... who are you?"

The man smiled slightly and slowly said: "My name is Yun Yi, and I am the owner of this jungle."

Ye Huang was startled and quickly bowed, saying respectfully: "It turns out to be Lord Yun, nice to meet you." She was secretly glad in her heart, it seemed that Lord Yun was not an enemy, but the master of this jungle.

Yun Yi nodded and said lightly: "No need to be polite, I just want to see the most beautiful woman in this jungle." He looked Ye Huang up and down, with admiration in his eyes.

Ye Huang was slightly startled, and a faint blush appeared on her face. She was secretly surprised in her heart, why did this Lord Yun pay so much attention to her? Could it be... Could it be that he also knew his identity?

At this moment, an urgent shout suddenly came from outside: "Your Highness! Your Highness! It's bad, there are enemies outside the palace... outside the palace!"

Ye Huang was startled and quickly turned back to look out the window. She saw a blazing fire in the jungle in the distance, and she didn't know what had happened. She quickly turned to look at Yun Yi and said worriedly: "Master Yun, something seems to have happened outside, I have to go check it out."

Yun Yi smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to stop Ye Huang, and said in a deep voice: "No need to go, it's very dangerous there, I'll ask someone to deal with it."

Ye Huang's expression froze, and a trace of doubt flashed through her mind. She asked hesitantly: "Then...what exactly happened outside?"

Yun Yi said calmly: "It's just some insignificant little things, you don't have to worry about it."

Ye Huang felt a little uneasy, but seeing Yun Yi's calm and composed appearance, she didn't ask any more questions. She said cautiously: "In that case, I will stay here and rest."

Yun Yi nodded and said, "By the way, I heard there is a secret place in this jungle. Do you know where it is?"

Ye Huang was stunned for a moment, shook his head slightly, and said: "I don't know about this, I have never heard of it."

A trace of disappointment flashed across Yun Yi's eyes, but he immediately regained his composure. "It seems I have to keep looking." He paused, and then said, "By the way, can you tell me something about this jungle?"

Ye Huang hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully: "I really don't know much about this jungle, but I know it has some magical places, such as the legendary nine-colored divine lotus, and some rare spiritual beasts... But I don't know the specific situation."

Yun Yi frowned slightly, as if he was not satisfied with the information. But he quickly regained his calm expression and said, "I see, that's a pity. But since you live here, you must know something about this jungle, right?"

Ye Huang nodded slightly and said, "Maybe, but I only know the basics."

Yun Yi pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "In that case, why don't you take me to see this jungle, so that I can have a deeper understanding of it."

Ye Huang was stunned, and subconsciously said: "But... this jungle is very dangerous, I'm afraid it's not suitable for me..."

Yun Yi smiled and interrupted her: "Don't worry, I'm here, even if you go to the most dangerous place, you will definitely not be in any danger."

Ye Huang hesitated for a moment, but seeing Yun Yi's confident look, she could not refuse. She said softly, "Since Lord Yun said so, I have nothing to say. But please be careful on your way."

Yun Yi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, that's settled. We'll set off early tomorrow morning."

After saying this, he turned and looked out the window, gazing at the jungle in the distance, with a hint of hunting in his eyes.

Ye Huang stared at his back, feeling a little worried. For some reason, she always felt that this Lord Yun seemed to have other intentions. But then she thought, since Lord Yun was the master of this jungle, he would not really hurt her. So she secretly made up her mind to be careful tomorrow and not let any accidents happen.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside, and then a guard rushed in in a panic, knelt on the ground and gasped, "Your Highness! Something bad has happened. There has been a big battle outside the palace!"

Ye Huang's heart tightened, and he quickly asked: "What happened? Tell me quickly!"

The guard stammered, "Outside... an unidentified army suddenly... suddenly attacked us. We... we are trying our best to resist, but... but there are too many people!"

Ye Huang frowned and said in a deep voice: "I'll go and take a look right away!" After that, she was about to turn around, but was stopped by Yun Yi.

Yun Yi said calmly: "No need to go, I'll ask someone to handle it. You just wait here."

Ye Huang was stunned, and said anxiously: "But...but the situation outside is so serious, I can't just sit there and do nothing, right?"

Yun Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have sent someone. They will definitely be able to handle this matter. You just need to have a good rest here."

Ye Huang hesitated for a moment, finally nodded helplessly, and sat down again. She was a little worried, and couldn't help but secretly glanced at Yun Yi. She saw that the man was still calm and didn't look panicked at all.

Ye Huang frowned slightly, feeling confused. What was the purpose of this Lord Yun? Why did he stop her from checking the situation outside? She secretly decided to take the opportunity to observe this man carefully and not be careless because of his honesty.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard again, and the guard from before rushed in again, his face pale and said in horror: "Your Highness! It's not good... No... It's not good!"

Ye Huang quickly stood up and asked anxiously: "What happened? Tell me quickly!"

The guard trembled and said: "The enemy outside...the enemy has already...already broken through the defense line of the palace and is coming here!"

Ye Huang was startled and quickly turned to look at Yun Yi, only to see that the man's face had also become gloomy.

Yun Yi said in a deep voice: "It seems that the situation is serious. I will go and take a look. You wait here and don't act rashly."

After saying that, he walked quickly to the window, staring at the fire in the distance, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Ye Huang was in a state of confusion, not knowing what to do. She knew that this attack was no accident, and that someone must be behind it.

At this moment, Yun Yi suddenly turned around, stared at Ye Huang with a sharp gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know something too?"

Ye Huang was shocked and quickly shook her head and said: "I...I really don't know, I...I'm just an ordinary palace maid..."

Yun Yi narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Don't lie to me, I know you must be hiding something."

Ye Huang panicked and stepped back, saying incoherently: "I...I really don't know, Master Yun, you...you misunderstood..."

At this moment, a huge explosion suddenly sounded from outside, and the whole palace shook violently. Ye Huang subconsciously grabbed the table beside him and looked at Yun Yi in horror.

Yun Yi frowned and said in a deep voice: "It seems that they have arrived. I will go deal with those guys first, you stay here."

After saying that, he rushed out without looking back, leaving Ye Huang alone in the side hall, terrified.

Ye Huang was in a state of confusion, not knowing what to do for a moment. She knew that all this was not accidental, and there must be some conspiracy behind everything. She was worried that she would become a victim of this political storm, and she couldn't help but feel complacent.

Just then, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

"Could it be...could it be that all this was planned by Yun Yi?" She secretly guessed in her heart, "Why did he stop me from going outside to check the situation? Is it because he is afraid that something terrible will happen to me?"

Ye Huang was startled and quickly shook her head, trying to dispel the thought. However, when she recalled Yun Yi's sharp eyes, she couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

"No, I can't think like that," she consoled herself, "Maybe... maybe Yun Yi just wanted to protect me and didn't want me to get involved in this. After all, I'm just an ordinary palace maid and have nothing to do with these power struggles."

However, when she thought back to Yun Yi's attitude just now, she could hardly suppress the uneasiness in her heart.

"But...if that's true, then why did he come to me specifically? Is it because...because my identity is not simple?" An indescribable panic surged in Ye Huang's heart.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, and then a maid rushed in in a panic, saying with a terrified look on her face: "Your Highness! Run away, run away! The enemy outside has already rushed into the palace.
