Return of the Phoenix Lady

Chapter 23: Xiao Hei; Wind Grass

In the early morning, Han Xing was still asleep, and Xiaohuo was making noises in his ears.

"Xiaoxing! Xiaoxing! Get up! Get up! I'm hungry! Hungry! Get up quickly! Don't sleep anymore..." Since Xiaohuo was impressed by Han Xing's cooking skills yesterday, Xiaohuo changed the way he addressed Han Xing and no longer called himself "this great god" in front of Han Xing.

"Stop making noise!" He turned over and continued dating Zhou Gong...

"Xiaoxing! Get up quickly! I'm hungry! Get up quickly! If you don't get up, I'll pull off your quilt!" Xiaohuo shouted impatiently.

"What do you mean by 'be careful'? Stop shouting!" Han Xing was helpless.

"Isn't it good to call you Xiaoxing? I think it's great! It has your name, and it can remind you to be careful at any time, and..." Xiaohuo rattled off a lot of reasons.

"Oh... forget it, Xiaoxing is Xiaoxing! It's up to you, don't disturb me, I want to sleep..." After saying that, he covered himself with the quilt and ignored Xiaohuo.

"No, no! Get up quickly, my dear Xiaoxing, I'm starving. You are my master after all, how can you let me starve to death? And I am the dignified Fire Phoenix! How can you..."

"Oh! Okay, okay! I'll get up, you glutton!" I put on my clothes and glared at Xiaohuo who was smiling smugly.

Han Xing came to the kitchen and found a lot of new ingredients. It seemed that those greedy people must have prepared them on purpose!

Han Xing picked up a few preserved eggs and some meat, and used magic to cut the preserved eggs and meat into small pieces, and then cooked them into preserved egg and lean meat porridge. He divided the porridge into four portions, one for Xiaohuo, who picked up the porridge bowl with his mouth and flew away; one for the cute Xiaobai, who ate it obediently; one for himself, and Han Xing finished the porridge in the bowl in a few bites; the last portion was for Jin Yifeng.

Han Xing held the bowl and walked towards the bamboo house where Jin Yifeng was.

"Girl! What are you holding in your hand? It smells so good!" After saying that, he pretended to sniff.

"Old man! This one is for Brother Feng, yours is in the kitchen!"

Mo Qingyuan ran to the kitchen without saying anything.

Seeing this, Han Xing chuckled twice and continued walking forward.

Standing in front of Jin Yifeng's door, Han Xing knocked twice and said, "Brother Feng, are you awake? I'm here to bring you breakfast!"

"..."

"Brother Feng, are you there? If you don't say anything, I will take it as your consent that I came in!" Han Xing asked tentatively.

"..."

Still no one answered, "Then I'll come in!" After saying that, Han Xing pushed the door open and walked in.

A faint scent of grass filled the air. Looking at the furnishings in the room, there was simply a bed, a table, a bookcase, and a few chairs. The bookcase was clearly filled with a variety of books. This was Han Xing's first time in Jin Yifeng's bedroom. Sure enough, his furniture was like him: simple and straightforward.

At this moment, Jin Yifeng was sitting in a chair reading a book.

Han Xing walked up to him with a bowl of fragrant preserved egg and lean meat porridge and said, "Brother Feng, you got up early this morning to study. You're really hardworking! You must be hungry now! Here, this is the porridge I just cooked. Drink it while it's hot!"

However, Jin Yifeng still did not respond.

"Brother Feng, I won't disturb you anymore. Just continue reading! Eat when you are hungry! By the way, I will collect the dishes at noon!" After saying that, he walked towards the door.

Over the next few days, Han Xing cooked a variety of dishes and personally delivered them to Jin Yifeng's room. Although Jin Yifeng still didn't say a word to Han Xing, every time Han Xing came, she would find empty bowls. Seeing this unequal treatment, Xiaohuo complained, "Xiaoxing! Why are you so partial? And they're not even paying attention to you, so why are you trying so hard to please them?" Han Xing just laughed it off. The days passed like this.

At the same time, far away in the capital of Mu Kingdom, in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Young Master? Why are you back?" Before he could finish his words, Liu Hanyang rushed in. The guard at the door was stunned. "Oh my god? Am I seeing things? How did he disappear in just a moment? Strange!"

As soon as Liu Hanyang entered the hall, he saw Liu Hexian, Meiruo and Liu Hanyue, a family of three, chatting happily.

"Where is Xing'er? Where is Er Niang?" Liu Hanyang's voice suddenly sounded.

"Yang...Yang'er! Why are you back? Shouldn't you be at the academy?" Liu Hexian asked in surprise.

"Where are Xing'er and Er Niang?" There was anxiety in the voice.

"Yang'er, what did your teacher teach you? Shouldn't you say hello to your elders first when you get home?" Liu Hexian was a little angry.

"Yes! Yang'er, no matter what prejudice you have against your father, you still have to have basic courtesy. Apologize to your father quickly!" Meiruo said sincerely from the side.

Seeing that Liu Hanyang was still motionless, he looked at Liu Hexian stubbornly.

"You...you..." At this moment, "Yang...Yang'er? Is it you? Is it really you? My Yang'er?" He Shuhui said excitedly.

"Mom! I'm back. Where is Xing'er?"

"This... Yang'er, I'm sorry! It's mother's fault for not taking good care of him. Now even Yun'er is missing, wuwu..." As she said this, she began to cry.

"Could it be...Xing'er and the others...really got into trouble? Mother! Is this true?"

“It…is true!”

"No...no! Xing'er won't leave like this, no! No..." Liu Hanyang murmured in despair.

"Yang'er! Don't be like this. Everyone is sad that Xing'er and the others are in trouble. You should also relax a little, okay? Mom knows that you and Xing'er have had a good relationship since childhood, but don't be too sad. This is not what Xing'er wants to see!" He Shuhui comforted her son.

"It's you! It must be you! You must have killed them! It must be you! Killing someone means paying with your life, Meiruo! Give me your life!" After saying that, Liu Hanyang attacked Meiruo regardless of anything.

"Are you...are you crazy? Stop it now! Otherwise I will be rude to you!" Liu Hexian looked at his son angrily. However, Liu Hanyang still refused to listen.

Liu Hexian's cultivation was much higher than Liu Hanyang's, so he easily subdued Liu Hanyang. After looking at his most outstanding son for a while, he finally made up his mind and said, "Since you insist on doing this, don't blame your father for being cruel!" After that, he put his hand on Liu Hanyang's head and muttered something. White mist slowly gathered above Liu Hanyang's head, "No! No! Don't take away my memory! No!... Father! Please! No..." In the end, Liu Hanyang calmed down.

One morning, Han Xing was going to the kitchen as usual when Xiao Bai suddenly jumped out and bit Han Xing's sleeve and tried to run out, "Master! Master! Come with me! Come quickly!"

It was strange. Xiaobai rarely communicated with me, so why was he so enthusiastic today? Anyway, since Xiaobai said so, I might as well go and take a look!

Xiaobai brought Hanxing to the back of the Holy Mountain. Xiaobai ran in front and Hanxing chased after him. Finally, Xiaobai stopped in a dense forest. Hanxing saw a wounded little sable lying in the grass, barely breathing. After all, it was a holy beast, so how could it be injured like this?

"Master! Master! Please save it! It's so pitiful! Please, Master?" Han Xing looked at Xiaobai's pleading eyes and couldn't bear to refuse.

Han Xing rolled his eyes and said to the speechless little black sable, "As long as you sign a contract with me, I will save you. How about that?"

After a while, Han Xing said again: "Don't speak? If you don't speak, I will take it that you agree. Oh, by the way, what's your name? Forget it, no matter what your name was before, just call you Xiao Hei now!" Han Xing knew that Xiao Hei Diao was too weak to speak, but he still said this shamelessly.

"Okay! In that case, let's make a contract!" After saying that, Han Xing signed a contract with the immobile little sable.

He took out a Fire Lotus and fed it to the little black sable. After a while, the little black sable jumped up and down, happily circling around Han Xing. He knew his master was very powerful because she possessed a rare Fire Lotus and gave it to him without even a frown. He was very touched and willingly became his master's guardian beast. But he had no idea that the Fire Lotus had many owners. He must have vomited to death if he knew!

"By the way, Xiao Hei, you are a sacred beast after all! Who beat you half to death?" Han Xing asked curiously.

"This, is actually..." Xiao Hei suddenly stopped talking halfway through.

"What? What is it actually? Tell me now! Stop keeping me in suspense!"

"Hey... I heard that deep in this dense forest, there is a treasure in the world - the Wind Grass!"

"Windgrass? What is that?"

"You don't even know about Wind Grass? Oh my! Wind Grass is actually a peculiar herb with no fixed habitat! No one can predict where it will grow, as it might grow in a Level 4 evergreen zone, or in a volcano, or even in a snowy mountain. In short, it's a very peculiar grass! And the most amazing thing about it is that any creature that eats it can increase its cultivation by fifty years! So, today I wanted to go and find out what it was all about. I finally found it, but who would have thought that a silver snake, about to enter the God Rank, suddenly appeared next to it. It was so powerful that I didn't have time to defend myself before it threw me out. Then Xiaobai discovered me."

"So that's how it is!" Han Xing nodded thoughtfully.

Suddenly he said, "How about we go and take another look?"
