Chapter 949 Not Welcome (1/2)
The ancient Phoenix Palace majestically stood on the top of Wang Village. Its presence with impressive beauty and scale seemed to reach the clouds. It was such a grandeur to behold.
”Lucia, you know what I have dreamed of all my life? That one day, I can live in the Phoenix Palace.
But sadly, my dream will never come true. It is such a pity. So you are my hope now, understand?”
Dorothy confided with an air of melancholy surrounding her. She fixed her gaze at the two vivid sculptures of phoenixes adorning the palace.
”I know, Mom. I understand. I promise that we will not lose this time! Trust me!” Lucia assured her mother as she darted her eyes at the lofty Phoenix Palace. She fully knew that this grand residence represented the supreme power of the Yu Clan.
In no time, the mother and daughter arrived at the foot of the Phoenix Palace. As expected, a maid marched towards them.
”Greetings. I am Dorothy and this is my daughter Lucia. Is our Queen available? We would like to visit her and request her presence,” Dorothy inquired.

A moment later, they saw the maid walk towards them again.
”Madam Dorothy, the Queen is available, but she will see only you.”
Hearing this, Lucia cast a glance at Dorothy. Her face showed a confused expression.
Dorothy hastily waved her hand at Lucia as if dismissing her thoughts. Then she gently prompted, ”Wait for me here.”
Lucia had no choice but to nod absent-mindedly. As her doubts engulfed her again, she glanced back at the Phoenix Palace and thought, 'Did I offend her?
She didn't like me since I was a child!'
Dorothy inched her way up to the Phoenix Palace. When they reached the top, she felt her hands tremble as they paused for a while to wait.
Soon, she heard a faint sound, and the door slowly opened.
”My Queen, it is such an honor to see you. How have you been? I hope that you have been well.”
With one hand placed on her chest, Dorothy bowed politely.
”Come in,”
