Return of the Phoenix Lady

From an extremely luxurious bedroom in the heart of the Chu family, a man's angry roar was heard.

"Assholes! What's wrong with you? Why hasn't my dad woken up yet? Did the Chu family raise you just to be a decoration? You are useless at the critical moment! If anything happens to my dad, you will be buried with him!" Chu Shengye shouted angrily at the two timid old men. He said he was filial, but he didn't consider that his loud voice would disturb his father.

Chu Shengye glared at the two men fiercely, then returned to his bed and said anxiously, "Dad! Wake up! What happened? Because of your sudden fainting, the treasure appreciation meeting has been delayed. If my sister hadn't brought the emperor and others here, those bastards would have made a lot of trouble!" Then he turned around and glared at the two old men, "What happened to my father? Didn't you use light magic to heal him? Why hasn't he woken up yet?"

One of the old men shakily wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a trembling voice, "To answer Young Master, the master... he must have been... too frightened, which is why he fell into a coma. However, our abilities alone are not enough to repair the master's frightened nerves, so the master may need to sleep for a few more days before waking up."

"Overly frightened? What frightened my father? He was actually frightened to faint! Chu Wu! Chu Wei! You tell me!" Chu Shengye's eyes turned angrily and looked at the two people who had always been by Chu Ziyi's side.

Chu Wu and Chu Wei glanced at each other and stepped forward. Chu Wu reported truthfully, "In reply to Young Master, the old master went to the young master's yard and asked us to wait outside. However, we waited for a long time and he didn't come out. Seeing that the time for the treasure appreciation meeting was approaching, it seemed that he had an accident, so we dared to go in and look for him. Finally, we found the old master unconscious in the young master's garden."

"Garden? Did you see anyone else? Or any signs of a fight?" Chu Shengye asked in shock and anger. He started to panic when he thought of all the treasures there, even more so than when his father fainted. He would rather his father was attacked than have something happen to the treasures in the cave. After all, those treasures were related to his future!

"This... doesn't seem to be the case!" Chu Wei said uncertainly, because he was busy saving his master at the time and had no time to pay attention to other trivial matters.

"What do you mean by 'seem'? Trash! All trash! Get out! Get out!" Chu Shengye was worried about the treasures, afraid that something might happen to them, but there was nothing he could do because he couldn't get into the cave! His father hadn't told him how to get in yet, and although he had sneaked in before, he couldn't find the mechanism. So how could anything happen to him before his father told him the mechanism?

After everyone left, Chu Shengye calmed down a bit, sat down on the bed, looked at Chu Ziyi angrily, and murmured, "Dad, why didn't you tell me the secret? Or do you not even trust your own son? Or do you want to leave the treasure to him? No! Absolutely not! Those treasures belong to me! They are all mine! I won't give them to anyone! No one!"

Han Xing's courtyard is very lively today. Jin Yifeng, Liu Hanyang, Shui Luochen, Feng Shang and Chu Xiang are all here.

"Won't You Ran and the others become suspicious if you come here?" Han Xing said to Shui Luochen, Feng Shang and Chu Xiang.

"No, no, Han'er, don't worry! I told my sister that we were bored and wanted to go out for a walk. They won't suspect anything." Shui Luochen's bright eyes stared at Han Xing as soon as he entered the door, as if he saw some new species.

Liu Hanyang's face darkened. He thought he was the only one who had discovered Han Xing's female body, and he was secretly pleased with himself! But he didn't expect his fantasy to be shattered so quickly. He felt as if his treasured possession had been peeped at, which made him very unhappy.

"Brother Yang, are you okay?" Han Xing looked at Liu Hanyang's somewhat gloomy face and asked with concern.

"I'm fine! Xing'er!" Liu Hanyang smiled gently at Han Xing. He would only smile when he was facing his baby Xing'er. Once he faced someone else, everyone would be scared by his cold face.

"Xing'er, the plan has been disrupted by Mu Juetian, what are you going to do?" Jin Yifeng said lightly, but his eyes glanced at Liu Hanyang vaguely.

When Liu Hanyang heard Jin Yifeng addressing Han Xing, he immediately raised his sharp eyes alertly and looked at Jin Yifeng who was also looking at him. Crackling~ sparks flashed in an instant.

Han Xing seemed completely oblivious to their interaction, saying to himself, "Just wait a few days! He can't escape anyway, what's coming will eventually come!"

"Yeah! Xing'er is right!" After a brief exchange of glances with Liu Hanyang, Jin Yifeng and Liu Hanyang both flashed admiration for each other. It could only be said that heroes appreciate heroes! But admiration aside, his Xing'er couldn't let him go!

"Xing'er, since you can't reveal your identity, and Juetian and I are very familiar with each other, why don't you let me go and talk to him!" Liu Hanyang suggested.

"No need. Doing so will only reveal our true identity. Let's just wait. Anyway, the plan will be carried out step by step. The Chu family will eventually become a dog without a home!" Han Xing said lightly with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Well, okay then! Since you think it's okay, then I'm relieved. Also, just let me know if you need my help." Liu Hanyang nodded and replied.

"Oh, right, there's something else I need to tell you. The Chu family's treasure house holds an ancient mythical beast, the Ice Dragon. After I get its dragon tendons, I'm going to release it. Remember to stay away from it. It would be bad if you accidentally hurt it."

"What...what? An ancient mythical beast? Or an ice dragon?" Shui Luochen said in disbelief.

"Yes, it's just that his dragon tendons were pulled out." For Han Xing, who already owns an ancient mythical beast, the Fire Phoenix, encountering an ice dragon is nothing strange.

"What? The dragon's tendons were pulled out? By whom? Someone from the Chu family? When did the Chu family produce such a powerful figure?" Shui Luochen still had an extremely surprised expression. In his mind, the ancient mythical beasts were as mysterious as myths.

"Well, at that time, the Ice Dragon was seriously injured, but unfortunately ran into the ancestors of the Chu family, and they even pulled out his tendons. They originally wanted to contract him, but he refused to obey, and killing him was too much of a waste, so they just kept him alive like this."

"Oh my God! They are so despicable! How can they do this!" Shui Luochen said indignantly.

Han Xing glanced at him calmly and said, "If it were me, I would do the same."

"Hmm...ah?!" Shui Luochen looked at Han Xing in surprise.

"Only a fool would refuse such a great bargain. But the people in the Chu family are too stupid. They have such a big trump card but don't know how to use it." Han Xing curled his lips and said evilly.

"That's right, everyone would want it! To capture the Ice Dragon for oneself. Instead of letting it be captured by others, it's better to take the initiative." Jin Yifeng agreed.

"That's right, but where is the dragon tendon?" Liu Hanyang also agreed with their point of view and asked.

"I don't know, but it will appear at the treasure appreciation meeting."

"Well, in that case, let's just wait and see!"

"Xinghan, that...my wet nurse..." Chu Xiang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly looked at Han Xing and said hesitantly.

"By the way, there's your wet nurse. I almost forgot. Sorry, where is your wet nurse? I will send her to a safe place tomorrow." Han Xing looked at Chu Xiang apologetically, feeling guilty for his carelessness.

"No! No need! It's no need anymore. She is..." Chu Xiang suddenly choked up and couldn't continue.

"What's wrong?" Han Xing asked with a frown.

Feng Shang, who was standing aside, sighed and said with some sadness, "Today I accompanied Chu Xiang to look for his wet nurse, but we couldn't find her. After asking other servants, we found out that not long after Chu Xiang left..." Feng Shang's eyes reddened as he spoke. He paused before continuing, "After much investigation, we found out that the wet nurse was... the young master of the Chu family, Chu Shengye, wanted to kill her when he was drunk... but she refused to obey and committed suicide!"

"Xinghan, I beg you! Can you hand Chu Shengye over to me?" Hatred flashed in Chu Xiang's clear eyes.

Han Xing chuckled and said lightly: "Not to mention Chu Shengye, even the entire Chu family is yours!"

Chu Xiang looked at Han Xing in surprise and said, "This... is not necessary, Xinghan. I just want to avenge my wet nurse. The Chu family doesn't need it."

"Haha! Don't be nervous. If you want Chu Shengye, of course you have to pay a price. That is to take good care of the Chu family for me in the future. How about it? Can you do it?"

"Chu Xiang, don't worry, I will make you Chu Ziyi's real grandson!" Chu Xiang suddenly remembered what Han Xing had said to him. It turned out that she was telling the truth. He had always thought she was joking!

So, Chu Xiang nodded and said, "Okay! I agree! Thank you, Xinghan, thank you for believing in me!"
