Return of the Phoenix Lady

"Huh? There's a small hole here!" There was actually a hole on this stone wall that was smooth except for the lines! Han Xing leaned in to take a closer look. Perhaps the key to opening the door lay right here. For some reason, Han Xing became a little dazed as he looked. Unconsciously, his right hand lifted up and his index finger reached in.

"Young Master! What are you doing? Stop now!" Yingchen noticed that something was wrong with Han Xing and stepped forward to stop him.

But it was still a beat too slow, and Han Xing's fingers had already entered.

"Hmm..." Han Xing was brought back to consciousness by the pain. When he realized what he was doing, he immediately retracted his fingers and found that blood was still flowing from his fingertips. Just as he was about to heal his hand, it was snatched away by a large hand and placed in a warm and moist place, where his fingertips were gently sucked. Han Xing was stunned. In her entire life, whether in her past life or this life, she had never had such intimate contact with a man. Of course, the last time with Xiaohuo didn't count, because in Han Xing's eyes, Xiaohuo was not yet a man.

But after just a moment of hesitation, Han Xing felt relieved. However, Ying Chen, after realizing that his actions were faster than his thoughts, unconsciously blushed and was a little afraid to look directly at Han Xing's face.

"Young... Young Master, I..." Before Yingchen could finish his words, there was movement on the stone wall beside him.

"Yingchen! Look!" Han Xing interrupted Yingchen.

Yingchen looked up and saw that the stone wall, which had been dull just now, suddenly began to glow, and blood suddenly flowed out of the small hole stained with Han Xing's blood, gradually flowing to all the lines on the stone wall. When all the lines were stained with blood, the stone wall suddenly emitted a silver light, illuminating the entire cave as bright as day. It was so dazzling that Han Xing and Yingchen could not open their eyes and had to cover their eyes with their hands.

The silver light shone for about half a minute before gradually fading. As the light faded, the stone wall actually began to become transparent. When the light faded, the stone wall also disappeared.

Behind the stone wall was a forest full of birdsong and flowers. A gentle breeze blew towards them. For Han Xing and Ying Chen, who had been staying in a depressing, dull and dark stone cave, it was like entering a paradise.

Walking out of the cave, you will see the blue sky, white clouds, lush trees, beautiful flowers, birds flying freely in the sky, and animals jumping around on the grass. It is truly a harmonious forest!

I don't know what's going on. Although I don't think there's anything wrong here, I always have an indescribable feeling in my heart, which is very strange.

"Xiao Huo, come out!" As Han Xing finished speaking, a fiery red shadow flashed and landed on Han Xing's shoulder. Xiao Huo gently rubbed Han Xing's face with his bird head, and then said: "Xiao Xing, this place is very strange!"

"I find it strange too, but I can't see anything wrong. Don't you see anything?" Xiao Huo shook his head and said honestly, "I can't see anything."

Han Xing frowned upon hearing this. "Then there are only two possibilities. Either this is just an ordinary forest, or the one who created this place has unfathomable cultivation. My intuition suggests it should be the second case. What do you think?"

"I agree with Xiaoxing!" "Me too!"

"In that case, let's go and give it a try! Nothing ventured, nothing gained! Everyone be careful!" After saying that, he took the lead and walked over.

"Wuwuwu~Wuwuwu~" Suddenly, a woman's crying voice was heard not far away.

"What's that sound?" "Let's go over and take a look!" "Okay!"

When they walked over, they found a woman sitting on the ground crying in the bushes. Perhaps she had noticed Han Xing and the others, and she immediately rushed over and cried, "Wuwuwu~ Please... please, hurry... go and save my daughter! I beg you! My daughter has been... captured by a monster!"

Han Xing stepped forward and was hit by a strong scent of powder. He helped the woman up and said calmly, "Auntie, don't be sad. Only after you explain everything clearly can we save your daughter! Also, how did you get here?" He was secretly surprised. There was nothing wrong with this woman except for the overly strong scent of powder. But why was she here?

"Hey~ I am a widow. My husband joined the army before our child was born and never came back. I didn't know until my husband's friend told me later... So I have been raising my child by myself and making a living by selling medicinal herbs. This morning, my daughter and I went to the mountains to collect herbs as usual. Suddenly, a strong wind blew and I fainted. When I woke up, I saw my daughter being dragged away by a monster. I was so weak that I could only watch her being taken away. My daughter must be in danger now! Please! Please save her! I kowtow to you gentlemen! Please save my daughter!" The woman became more and more excited as she spoke and kowtowed again.

Han Xing quickly helped the woman up. Suddenly, he thought of himself. He was also grief-stricken when his mother was killed. In a rush of impulse, he agreed to the woman's request: "Okay! Then tell me what the monster looks like?"

"Thank you! Thank you! I only saw the monster from behind. It was huge and covered in hair. It was terrifying. The front view must be even scarier!"

"Okay! We got it. Auntie, please stay here and don't leave. We'll come back to you after we rescue your daughter, okay?"

"Okay! Okay! Thank you! Thank you! You are such nice people! Thank you! I will wait for you here!" The woman thanked them repeatedly and looked at Han Xing and the others with gratitude.

After walking for a while, the woman had long since disappeared. Ying Chen then asked, "Master, do you really believe what that woman said?"

"Yes! Xiaoxing, this is too weird. I think that woman is definitely abnormal!" Xiaohuo also said from the side.

"Haha! Of course I know, but we are in a passive position now. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. We might as well see what that guy wants us to do. Anyway, we can just fight against the enemy with our soldiers and block the water with earth! If it doesn't work out, we will still be heroes in eighteen years!" Han Xing said, and actually started joking.

"Okay! Since that's the case, let's go!" Xiaohuo flew straight forward to clear the way for Hanxing.

"Help! Help! Is there anyone here? Help!" After walking a little further, a cautious female voice came.

"This should be the woman's daughter! Let's go and take a look!" Han Xing said with interest.

The girl realized that someone had really come and she was immediately delighted and said, "Please, save me! There's a monster trying to eat me!"

I saw the girl sitting on the ground, surrounded by a barrier, which seemed to be set up by the monster. However, I didn’t expect that the monster was actually a divine beast.

"Girl, we just met your mother. She was the one who asked us to rescue you. Where did the monster go?" Han Xing explained.

"Really? That's great! My mother should be fine, right? Please rescue me! The monster should be back soon. He kidnapped me here and left. I don't know where he went, but he set up a barrier around me, so I can't escape!" said the girl pitifully.

"So that's how it is, Xiaohuo, go and solve it!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaohuo flew forward and sucked at the barrier with his beak, and the barrier slowly dissipated.
