The Rising Phoenix

After hearing the promise from them, Bai Xifeng took off her mask and her hoodie. Everyone nodded when Bai Xifeng revealed her face in front of everyone. No wonder Bai Xifeng insisted on covering her face. That face was lethal. If she entered the entertainment industry, she would be sure to rise to the top.

They talked to Bai Xifeng about how she should not waste her time, studying the normal education. She could be in university, studying complex math with her powerful mind. Bai Xifeng shook her head. She refused for the invitation once again. The professors did not give up. They told her if she changed her mind, she could contact them about that. Bai Xifeng nodded.

The professors accompanied her to the bank to cash out the cheque. Bai Xifeng was happy to see the amount in her bank account. She returned to the city with the principal. The principal was proud when one of her students won such a prestigious competition. However, she was devastated that she could not make an announcement about that. Bai Xifeng did not want her involvement in the competition to be exposed.

"Xifeng... Xifeng..." Fang Daiyu's voice pulled Bai Xifeng back to reality.

"Oh... What?" Bai Xifeng turned to Fang Daiyu.

"I am asking about the God Rank elixir that you concocted. Is it really true?" Fang Daiyu asked.

"Daiyu!" Fang Zihao said.

"Of course, it is true." Bai Xifeng said. "I even got struck by that bastard a few times."

"That bastard? Who?" Fang Daiyu asked interestedly.

"The tribulation lightning." Bai Xifeng said. "It is fucking hurt like hell."

"Ahem..." Fang Zihao cleared his throat when he heard Bai Xifeng talk like that.

"I saw once." Fang Daiyu suddenly said.

"Saw what?" Fang Zihao said.

"Remember when we visited Auntie Mei in Yuijing Town? I remember people talking about someone who concocted the God Rank Elixir. The lightning indeed struck that person." Fang Daiyu recalled her memories.

"Indeed. I remember that." Fang Zihao nodded. He continued. "People said that the room was ruined because the lightning struck it."

Bai Xifeng looked away when she heard the siblings talk about that. She never thought that the siblings were in the same place as her at that time.

"How do you feel when being struck by lightning?" Fang Daiyu turned to Bai Xifeng.

"Hmm... You can feel that your flesh has been burned. If you want to feel the sensation, you can search for someone with a lightning element attribute. His cultivation level must be at the Cold Core Realm. And let him strike you with his lightning move." Bai Xifeng said.

"No... I don't want to." Fang Daiyu shook her head.

Bai Xifeng laughed when she looked at Fang Daiyu's scared expression.

"You will break through to the Nascent Soul Realm in the future. You need to face it." Bai Xifeng patted Fang Daiyu's shoulder.

"Nascent Soul Realm? That is a long way ahead." Fang Daiyu sighed. She did not know if she could break through to the Cold Core.

They continued the journey. Sometimes, Bai Xifeng would stop at the things that she found useful to use for alchemy and pharmacy. Sometimes, Fang Daiyu also asked about the things. Bai Xifeng explained its uses.

They passed a lot of small villages on the way. Some of them were kind people. Some were not. They stopped at a village. It was called Xian Village. At first, they seemed to be nice people. The villagers invited them to stay over for a night. Fang Daiyu accepted their kindness.

However, the kindness turned into something else when they were sleeping. They got a room for each of them. Fang Daiyu was happy since she could sleep on a proper bed after sleeping on a tree and the ground.

Bai Xifeng was much more comfortable sleeping while hugging Princess Huahua when she saw the bed. So, she was sleeping with Princess Huahua when, suddenly, Princess Huahua woke her up in the middle of the night.

"What is going on, Huahua?" Bai Xifeng rubbed her eyes.

"Someone is inside Daiyu's room." Princess Huahua lowered her voice.

Bai Xifeng snapped from her sleepiness.

"It is not Zihao. Someone else. Daiyu is still sleeping." Princess Huahua said again.

Whoever they were, they probably had a bad intention toward Fang Daiyu. Who came into the room where that person inside the room was sleeping?

"That person came to our room earlier. He tried to open the door. Because he could not open the door, he moved to the next room." Princess Huahua continued.

"Let's go." Bai Xifeng said.

She opened the door and rushed to Fang Daiyu's room. She barged into the room so fast that the person did not have time to run away. She immediately pinned down the person.

The scream echoed through the night. Fang Zihao appeared at the door. He rushed to his sister, asking his sister if she was okay. Fang Daiyu seemed to be surprised, nodding to his brother. She was surprised when she heard the scream and saw Bai Xifeng pinning down an unknown man.

"What are you doing in my friend's room?" Bai Xifeng pressed over her knee on the man's back.

"Argh!!! That's hurt!" The man shouted.

The villagers started to crowd in front of Fang Daiyu's room.

"What is going on?" An old man asked.

He was the head village. He looked sharply as he saw Bai Xifeng pin someone.
