The Rising Phoenix

"What?" Bai Xifeng taunted the middle-aged woman.

Bai Xifeng walked approaching the middle-aged woman. The middle-aged woman began to feel terror as she saw Bai Xifeng approaching her.

"You... You... Stop right now." The middle-aged woman said.

Bai Xifeng ignored and kept getting closer to the middle-aged woman. She stopped right in front of the middle-aged woman who sat on the ground.

"The herbs belong to me. I don't think you will be able to use it anymore." Bai Xifeng said while glancing at the missing hand.

"I will kill you, little bit*h." The middle-aged woman said.

"Well, you can try, old bit*h." Bai Xifeng replied back.

Bai Xifeng walked away from the middle-aged woman and went to see the Fang Siblings. She took out the same elixirs and pills and gave them to the Fang Siblings.

"Take it." Bai Xifeng said.

The Fang Siblings accepted them and thanked Bai Xifeng. The items instantly healed the Fang Siblings' wounds and restored their energy. It seemed they were injured before.

"Xifeng, how many beasts that you have?" Fang Daiyu asked.

They had seen Cerberus, the three-headed wolves, Princess Huahua, who was cute in her own way, Bai Xifeng liked to sleep, hugging her, and this new beast, which had an eagle part on its front body and a lion part on its back body.

Bai Xifeng smiled. She did not answer the question.

"Let's leave this place." Bai Xifeng said.

"Hmm..." Fang Zihao agreed.

He did not want to stay with those people anymore, even though they were injured.

"You two can ride on Cerberus' back." Bai Xifeng said.

"Eh... Is it okay?" Fang Daiyu asked.

"Hmm..." Bai Xifeng nodded. She turned to Cerberus. "They are my friends."

Cerberus just nodded. The Fang Siblings jumped on Cerberus's back. They did not expect to be so comfortable sitting on the beast's back. Bai Xifeng jumped onto Gryffindor's back.

"Make sure you guys hold Cerberus tightly. Otherwise, you might fall." Bai Xifeng reminded the Fang Siblings.

"Okay." The Fang Siblings answered.

Let's go." Bai Xifeng said.

Gryffindor flew and Cerberus ran, leaving the middle-aged woman and her group.

Bai Xifeng ordered them to stop after Bai Xifeng saw a town ahead. She jumped down from Gryffindor's back. The Fang Siblings also jumped down from Cerberus's back.

"Thank you for the ride. And also for protecting me and my brother." Fang Daiyu thanked Cerberus.

Cerberus just nodded. It was not like he wanted to help them. It was Bai Xifeng who wanted.

Bai Xifeng told the beasts to go into the Mirror World. She and the Fang Siblings needed to change their clothes since their current clothes had blood stains everywhere.

When they walked into the town, everyone in the town was staring at them. An old man came forward and asked them.

"Are you okay?" The old man asked.

"Yes... Yes... We are fine." Bai Xifeng said.

"But the blood..." The old man looked at the clothes.

"Oh... It is not our blood. It belonged to the beast that we had fought." Bai Xifeng lied to the old man. "Is there any inn that offers a bath, Sir?"

"Yes... Yes... You can go to Flower Inn. Just walk straight there and you will find the inn." The old man said.

"Thank you, Sir." Bai Xifeng said.

"You're welcome." The old man said.

Fang Daiyu got closer to Bai Xifeng and whispered into Bai Xifeng's ear.

"Xifeng, why are you lying to the old man? Why don't you just tell him that we were attacked by a group of humans?" Fang Daiyu asked.

"What if that group is from this town?" Bai Xifeng just asked one question.

Fang Daiyu just realised it. She finally understood why Bai Xifeng was lying.

"We just need to clean up and change our clothes. We will not stay overnight here." Bai Xifeng said.

"Hmm..." Fang Daiyu nodded.

So, they followed the old man's direction and found the inn. The innkeeper was shocked to see them. He immediately offered their bath.

Bai Xifeng and the Fang Siblings paid for the bath. The men's and women's bathrooms were separated. They went to the bathroom and cleaned up. It had been a while since they had bathed, and Bai Xifeng was delighted.

The clothes that they were currently wearing could not be worn anymore because they had many cuts. Bai Xifeng looked at another piece of clothing to wear. It was the same as the Fang Siblings. They also changed into new clothes.

They walked out of the inn, feeling fresh and clean.

"Let's go to the clothes shop. I want to buy some clothes to replace the torn clothes." Fang Daiyu said.

"Okay." Bai Xifeng nodded.

They walked around and saw a clothes shop. They entered the shop. The storekeeper smiled as he greeted them.

"Welcome... Welcome... What kind of clothes would you like to purchase?" The storekeeper said.

"Can you show me the light green colour clothes for me and the light blue colour clothes for my brother?" Fang Daiyu asked.

"Sure... Sure... Please wait." The storekeeper nodded.

He disappeared to the back.

"Xifeng, don't you want to replace the clothes?" Fang Daiyu asked.

"No need. I still have plenty of them." Bai Xifeng said.

Her father and brother nagged her to bring a lot of clothes. They even had a shopping spree for her. They bought a lot of clothes for the whole season.
