Return of the Phoenix Lady

"You can ask us to play with you, but after playing, the winner must have some spoils or something, otherwise the game will be boring. What do you think?" Han Xing smiled and tilted his head.

"That... is indeed true. Well, what spoils do you want?" The woman thought for a while, probably thinking that Han Xing and the others would definitely lose, but in order to add some fun, she agreed.

"Haha! Don't you know what I want? So, what do you want?"

"Alright! If you win, I'll grant your wish. But if you lose, hehe~" "I'll take the boy next to you as my husband! And you, my mother's slave!" the girl said proudly. "That's right! Do you dare to agree?" Hehe~ How could this little girl and this boy possibly win against the two of us? Anyway, if they do win, we'll just give the bird back to them, and we won't lose anything, but we'll definitely win. They can't escape our grasp! Hahahaha!

"Yingchen, do you believe me?" Han Xing turned around and looked at Yingchen with a smile.

Seeing the young master's confident smile, Yingchen nodded unconsciously and said, "I believe it!" The young master was like a luminous being. No matter where she was, she was the most dazzling person. Her confidence, her intelligence, her bravery... everything attracted everyone, making them believe in her and love her. Was she worthy of such a dazzling young master? Was she only worthy of silently watching over her from behind, protecting her? Yingchen shook his head helplessly, throwing away all the distractions, and thought about how to deal with this mother and daughter.

"Okay! We agree! Tell me! How do we play?"

"Good! That's straightforward! Unlike those bad guys in the past who were so hesitant. In fact, the game is very simple. As long as the two of you can hide in this forest for three days without being found by us, you win. However, the monsters in this forest are all our friends. So, as long as they see you, they will come and tell us. So, I advise you to kill one as soon as you see it, otherwise, you will be found by us soon! What do you think? Isn't this game very simple?" The woman looked so arrogant that Han Xing wanted to slap her. Are you kidding! Is this simple? There are so many monsters in this forest. If you kill one as soon as you see it, you will be exhausted! However, she is not a fool who will listen to her.

"Those bad guys from before? Have people been here before? Also, can we walk to the end of this forest in three days?" After Han Xing figured it out, he began to find out the details of this place.

"I don't know how long ago, several groups of people came here, but they either couldn't afford to play or lost. Also, don't even think about reaching the end of the forest in thirty days, let alone three days. To tell you the truth, my mother and I have also wanted to get out of here, but no matter how long we walked, we never got out. So, you should just try your best to walk as far as you can!" Han Xing was not interested in knowing the outcome of those people, and said directly: "Okay! Then let the game begin! We'll go first, when will you come to find us? Also, what are we going to eat in these three days?"

"Haha! I would have forgotten if you hadn't told me. Here! After eating this, it doesn't matter if you don't eat for three days. We will come to find you at this time tomorrow. Brother, just wait to become my husband! Oh hehe~" The girl handed Han Xing two pills and giggled.

Han Xing brought the pill close to his nose and sniffed it before handing one to Yingchen and swallowing it.

"Are you afraid that I'll poison you? Don't worry! I don't want your lives yet!"

"It's always good to be on guard against others! However, I really want to discuss pharmacology with you when I have time!"

"Haha! Do you already know that you are going to lose? You are going to stay here forever and discuss pharmacology with my daughter? I am very pleased that you have such awareness!" The woman smiled proudly.

Han Xing smiled mysteriously and didn't respond to her. He just said, "Meet here in three days!" and pulled Yingchen towards the forest.

After walking for half a day, Ying Chen, who was still at the edge of the forest, said, "Master, why don't we go in? The forest is bigger, so it should be easier to hide."

"Do you think that when those people played this game with the mother and daughter before, they didn't want them to find them?" Han Xing asked as he walked in front.

"Of course!" Yingchen didn't understand why Han Xing suddenly mentioned someone from the past.

"So they think that the deeper they go, the harder it will be to find them?"

"Yes!" Yingchen was a little confused by the question.

"This forest is huge. Most people would definitely kill their way in, but they wouldn't be able to reach the end. So they would definitely be discovered by the mother and daughter!"

Yingchen suddenly realized something and looked at Hanxing with admiration, saying, "Young Master is very resourceful! It's Yingchen who is short-sighted."

"Haha! You haven't experienced enough and still need some experience." Han Xing's eyes suddenly became deep. Thinking of his past life, if he was not smart enough, he might not even know how he died!

Yingchen was wondering why the young master was younger than him, but sometimes he looked older than him.

There were only a few magical beasts along the way, and Han Xing easily dealt with them all until night.

Under the starlight, Han Xing and Ying Chen sat side by side with their backs against a big tree, but Ying Chen's face looked a little awkward.

"So boring, let's talk about something!" Han Xing spoke to break the silence.

"Master, what do you want to talk about?"

"Well... let me tell you a story!" On such a starry night, Han Xing suddenly felt the desire to talk.

"Once upon a time, there was a girl who was born into a large martial arts family. Her father had two wives, and the first wife was the girl's mother. The first wife gave birth to a daughter at first, but the family valued sons over daughters, so when everyone found out that the father had another pregnant woman, no one said anything. But the first wife happened to be pregnant too, so she placed all her hopes on the fetus in her belly. However, when she found out that she had given birth to another daughter and the second wife had given birth to a boy, the first wife made a crazy decision, which was to pretend that the daughter was a boy, so the second daughter became the second son. However, unexpectedly, this time the father really fell in love with the second wife. Even though he knew that the first wife had given birth to a son, , but left without even having time to choose a name. The eldest wife was disheartened and ignored the second daughter, leaving her to fend for herself. Instead, it was the second wife's son who got along best with the girl, and he discovered the truth that his brother was actually his sister. Later, as the girl grew up, her father discovered her exceptional talent for martial arts and began to care for her, but that was all. Her mother was happy because she could see her father often again. To please him, she focused all her attention on her, often urging her to practice martial arts day and night, regardless of how hard she worked. She even pushed her, despite her indifference to fame and fortune, to compete for the position of head of the family. Everything her mother did was to win back her husband's heart.

"That girl must have a very hard life!" Yingchen couldn't help but interrupt.

Han Xing smiled and continued, "Life went on like this until one day, the girl found out her mother was dead, and her sister accused her of killing her mother. She even stuck a dagger that the girl used in her mother's chest. The conspiracy happened, and everyone, including her father, believed that she had killed her mother. The only one willing to help the girl was her brother, her half-brother, who had been with her for more than ten years. The girl was full of gratitude to her brother, because for so many years, it was only her brother who had given her warmth. But what the girl could not have imagined was that the mastermind behind this conspiracy was actually her brother. The reason was that her brother fell in love with the girl, but the girl's martial arts skills were not good enough. Gao Qiang, the elder brother was afraid he couldn't win the girl back, so he arranged this plot to have the father cripple the girl's martial arts and drive her out of the house, so that the elder brother could take her in and stay with her forever. The originally planned ending was changed because of the elder sister. The elder sister killed the girl, her only biological sister, and the reason was even more ridiculous. The elder sister also fell in love with the elder brother, but when the elder sister discovered that the elder brother loved the girl, she was furious and killed the girl. The girl felt unprecedented relaxation and liberation when she died. This was probably the happiest moment of her life! Well, the story is over. What do you think?

Yingchen didn't say anything because he didn't know how to express it. It was just a story, so why did he feel that the young master was filled with sadness all over his body, and he was also sad for the girl in the story.

This is a sad night, but tomorrow will be a brand new beginning.
