Return of the Phoenix Lady

After leaving the city gate and camping outdoors for the night, they walked slowly and leisurely towards the southwest at the first light of dawn.

Although the Holy Mountain lies between the Five Kingdoms, the southwest of it is actually not the territory of any nation. It is a haven for magical beasts, and no nation has ever invaded its territory. It's not that they dare not, but that they cannot, because of a barrier and a curse. The barrier is designed to prevent the magical beasts from roaming, while the curse is designed to prevent national armies from entering and occupying the land. However, training is still possible. Initially, people were skeptical of the curse, but lacking the necessary power, they dared not challenge it. Then, a warlike monarch from one nation emerged, led millions of his people, and stormed in, never to emerge. Months later, another practitioner entered, only to flee a day later in a rage, screaming, "Ahhh! Bones!... Bones everywhere... The pungent smell of blood! So terrifying!... So horrible! Bones everywhere! Help!... Ahhhhhhhhh!" Some attributed it to the presence of powerful magical beasts; others said it was the fulfillment of the curse. After that, no monarch dared to invade the area again. It is also known as the "Holy Land of Purgatory".

It takes about four or five days to walk from the Holy City to Fengcheng, the closest city to the "Purgatory Holy Land". On the way, you will pass through Hongcheng, and then the road is all mountainous until you reach Fengcheng.

Hongcheng Gate

As soon as the two figures, dressed simply but with extraordinary looks, entered, they attracted the attention of most women.

"Huh~ We're finally in Hongcheng. It's so boring walking on the mountain road! Don't you think so? Yingchen!" Han Xing said with a smile.

"Hmm!" Yingchen frowned. Boring? If you're bored, you'll tease the bandits from time to time, making them flee when they see you, and making the people on several hilltops afraid to leave the mountain...

"Let's go shopping first! Buy some things for the journey."

"it is good!"

"Wow! Those two gentlemen over there are so handsome! Especially the shorter one, he's so handsome!" said the female passerby with shining eyes.

"I think that cold young man is cooler!" said the female passerby in a crazy way.

"Oh! That...that young man smiled at me! Hahaha..." Female Passerby A said again.

"No way! Didn't you see it? He was smiling at me! Why are you, an old lady, joining in the fun?" Female passerby C said unyieldingly.

"You... (the bad word N is omitted below)" female passerby A yelled.

"Haha! I didn't expect that I would be so popular at such a young age! Haha..." Han Xing smiled proudly.

“…” Yingchen was speechless again.

After the two finished shopping, they entered Fengyun Building.

The waiter was stunned when he saw Han Xing. Han Xing frowned in displeasure.

"Give me some of our signature dishes and a pot of osmanthus tea!" After saying that, he ignored the waiter, walked over and sat down by the window.

"Uh...ok...ok!" The waiter agreed but did not take any action.

"Then go quickly!" Han Xing said impatiently.

After a while, the rich fragrance of osmanthus drifted into Han Xing's nose, "Master! Your food and tea are here!"

"Well!" Han Xing looked at the waiter who was still standing nearby, "You can go down now!"

"This... hehe! Young master, this is your first time here! There must be a lot of things you don't understand! I will tell you everything!" After saying that, he actually stretched out his dirty hands and wanted to touch Han Xing's little hand.

Before Yingchen could make a move, a drop of water shot towards the waiter's pig's hand at the speed of light, breaking the waiter's hand. The waiter felt pain, held his injured hand, and shouted angrily: "Wow! Who is it? Come out! Which bastard dared to hit my hand! Come out!" No one would have thought that he was just a small waiter.

Han Xing only realized it when the water droplet approached; he hadn't felt it before. It seemed this must be a master among masters. Han Xing looked in the direction of the water droplet. In the corner, a man in blue sat leisurely, sipping from a teacup. As if aware of something, he put down the cup and smiled gently at Han Xing.

His smooth, fair face was radiant with a sharp, cool demeanor; his deep, dark eyes shone with a captivating hue; his thick eyebrows, high nose, and beautifully shaped lips all exuded nobility and elegance. He hadn't noticed such a handsome man just now, and even the lecherous waiter hadn't noticed. The only explanation was that this man was so powerful that he could even hide his aura.

The waiter was still yelling and cursing recklessly, "Get out here! If you have the guts, get out here right now! What's the point of being a coward! Do you know who I am? You even dared to hit me!"

"Who are you?" Han Xing asked casually.

When the waiter heard what the beautiful lady said, he quickly replied: "Haha... Do you know who the owner of Fengyun Tower is? It's the famous Ying Rui in the business world, Master Ying! This Master Ying is an amazing figure! At such a young age, he has opened many branches of his own in the five countries, and I am fortunate to be his subordinate, and he trusts and respects me very much! Anyone who dares to disrespect me will be banned by Master Ying!" After saying that, he raised his head proudly.

"What evidence do you have to prove that this Young Master Ying really is as you said, uh... 'trusts' and 'respects' you?" Han Xing curled her lips.

The waiter reached into his pocket and a golden object flashed before everyone's eyes before being taken away. "See? This is the gold medal Young Master Ying gave me!"

Han Xing couldn't help but smile. Xiao Er was indeed very fast just now, but he still couldn't escape his eyes. It was just an ordinary gold medal. But if he remembered correctly, he seemed to have casually engraved the three words "Fengyun Tower" on that piece of gold medal when he was bored. But later he seemed to hear Ying Rui say that it was missing. It turned out that it was in the hands of Xiao Er!

Han Xing smiled gently, but the stupid waiter was staring at her in a daze, not knowing that his good days were over.

"So that's how it is! Second brother, you are so awesome! And you even know such a big shot. How about this! Let's go upstairs and talk!" Han Xing smiled ambiguously.

"Okay... okay! Young master! Let's go! Let's go upstairs and talk! Haha..." There was an undisguised lust in the waiter's eyes.

Han Xing secretly winked mischievously at the man in blue, but the man smiled faintly and said nothing.

Upstairs room

"Young Master! You are so handsome! Haha..." After saying that, he wanted to pounce on Han Xing. Suddenly, the waiter stopped moving, as Han Xing cast a spell to immobilize him.

"You...you little brat! What did you do to me?" The waiter questioned Yingchen behind him. Yingchen blinked innocently, too lazy to waste words.

"Young Master! Please let your servant let me go so that I can tell you about Young Master Ying!" The waiter called for help to Han Xing.

Han Xing lazily lay on the table and suddenly said, "Come out!" The air suddenly began to shake, and a blue figure slowly appeared. Looking closely, it turned out to be the man in blue.

"This...this...ghost..." The waiter stared with dead eyes and suddenly became speechless. It turned out that Yingchen had fed him a mute potion.

"You must be Liu Hanxing, little girl!" said the man in blue.

"Who are you?" Han Xing was curious. It was not surprising that he knew that she was a woman, after all, she was an expert among experts. But how could a person they just met recognize him?

"Haha! Your master knows me! He often mentions you in front of me!" the man said gently.

"Are you...Bai Li?" Han Xing said tentatively.

"Haha! You're really smart! You've achieved such impressive cultivation at such a young age, and you're much more mature than other children your age. Xing'er, I'm really curious about you!"

Why did he suddenly call her Xing'er?! How could this immortal-like man be so familiar with others?

"Haha! Really? Then I'm honored! To have made the dignified principal of the Five Nations Academy curious."

"Xing'er, would you like to come to the academy to study? It would be very beneficial for you!" Bai Li suggested.

"I'm going to the 'Purgatory Holy Land' to train soon. Besides, I just want to find a way to quickly improve my cultivation. I don't want to wait too long." Han Xing said after thinking for a while.

Bai Li naturally understood Han Xing's words and continued to coax her, "Xing'er, do you know that in two years our academy's library will be open. There are countless precious books in there, many of which can help you quickly improve your cultivation, and there are also many tricks about cultivation. In short, if you can get in, you will benefit a lot! You are so smart, you should understand what I mean!"

"Is that so! Hmm... let me think about it..." Han Xing was a little moved.

"Your good brother and good senior brother are there! Don't you want to go and see them? And I think your good brother seems to have become a little different since you left!" Bai Li stroked his chin and said.

"What happened to Brother Yang?" Han Xing was a little anxious.

"Haha! If you want to know, go and see for yourself!" After saying that, without waiting for Han Xing to react, two small golden cards with the four big words "Admission Notice" printed on them appeared in front of Han Xing. The air shook again, and the blue figure disappeared.

Han Xing looked at the small card and murmured, "Looks like the plan needs to be changed..."
