The Rising Phoenix

The thing that Bai Xifeng wanted to get Bai Xifeng's attention was stunning. It did not expect that Bai Xifeng would just ignore it and go to sleep. It came closer to Bai Xifeng. As it tried to grab Bai Xifeng's clothes, something blocked its moves and it felt the pain. It took a step back.

After a while, it tried again. The same thing happened. Ultimately, it gave up trying and stayed there until dawn.

Princess Huahua noticed the thing. However, she ignored it. She remembered what Bai Xifeng told her earlier. 'Just ignore anything if you hear something.' So, she did just what Bai Xifeng told her. She watched the thing try to reach out a few times before it gave up. She ended up watching the thing stayed there all night.

The thing began to disappear when the dawn arrived. Only then did Princess Huahua dare to sleep. She woke up again when she sensed some movement from Bai Xifeng.

"Ah... It is so comfortable. I can sleep anywhere with Huahua." Bai Xifeng said.

Bai Xifeng got out of Princess Huahua's arms. She looked around and saw nothing. That thing probably left after knowing it could not do anything to her.

It was a soul. It was probably being trapped in this place and unable to go to another world. Well, she was not a kindhearted person. So, she did not want to get involved in this situation. If something like that were spread, those kinds of things would come asking for her help. She did not want to be an exorcist.

Bai Xifeng looked for water resources around. She found nothing. So, she took her water supply from Mirror World and washed her face. She also prepared a simple chicken breast congee. The aroma was good enough to invite some uninvited guests.

A group of beggars came over when they smelled something delicious. They were surprised to see a young girl cooking some congee here. They were starving. So, they stared at the congee.

Bai Xifeng noticed the beggars and she was not panicked. She counted the number of the beggars and looked at the congee. She made a lot of them. In her mind, if she could not finish it, she could store the congee in the storage rune. Well, she could give some to them.

"Do you have a bowl?" Bai Xifeng suddenly asked the beggars.

The beggars were startled when they were suddenly asked by the girl. They looked at each other.

"If you have your own bowl, you can get some of this." Bai Xifeng pointed at the congee.

"What? You are giving some to us?" One of the beggars asked.

"Hmm... So, do you have a bowl?" Bai Xifeng asked the same question again.

"Yes.. Yes... I have a bowl." One of the beggars took out his bowl.

"Me too." Another beggar said.

It seemed they all had their bowl.

"Line up. I will give some portion for you." Bai Xifeng said.

The beggars followed her order. Bai Xifeng scooped the congee into the beggar's bowl one by one. The beggars thanked Bai Xifeng and ate their congee. It was their first warm meal for a while.

Bai Xifeng knew how terrible it felt to be starving. So, she tried to help them forget the feeling for a while. The congee was finished. Bai Xifeng cleaned up.

The beggars were still there. Some of them had already left after thanking Bai Xifeng. The ones who were still there kept looking at Bai Xifeng. It seemed these beggars had an ill intention toward Bai Xifeng. Bai Xifeng knew it but ignored them.

It was time for Bai Xifeng to continue her journey. The beggars, who seemed to see that Bai Xifeng wanted to leave, rushed over to get closer to Bai Xifeng. However, after getting a few meters to Bai Xifeng, they felt an oppression that caused them to kneel down immediately.

"You ungrateful bastard. After I gave you some food. You dare to try to attack me." Bai Xifeng said.

The beggars became scared. They did not know that this young girl was very strong.

"Please, spare us. We know that we are ungrateful bastard." The beggars begged.

They kowtowed over and over again, begging for Bai Xifeng's mercy. The beggars who left earlier came back after they heard the begging. They did not expect them to be so stupid as to attack someone who showed them some kindness.

"Girl, that is enough. They already begged for your forgiveness." An old man said.

Bai Xifeng noticed the newcomers. It was an old man, a man and a girl.

"Yeah. How could someone be so cruel?" The girl looked at Bai Xifeng.

"Looking at their appearances, they are just beggars. Do you need to kill them to satisfy your anger?" The man added.

The beggars who were grateful to Bai Xifeng could not help but chime in.

"It is not like that. This young lady here is kind enough to share the congee that she cooked with all of us. However, those bastards, after eating her congee, tried to attack her when she was about to leave. They probably wanted to rob her." One of the grateful beggars shouted.

The three people who misunderstood Bai Xifeng were stunned. They looked at Bai Xifeng, the ungrateful beggars and the grateful beggars. So, they really read the situation wrongly.
