Return of the Phoenix Lady

When I opened my eyes again, I heard Xiaohuo's exclamation: "Look... Look!... He's awake! He's awake!" Was it that arrogant guy Xiaohuo who said such incoherent words?

Immediately afterwards, a shadow appeared before Han Xing's eyes, and a slightly hoarse voice came from above his head: "Young... Young Master, are you awake?"

The bright light made it difficult for Han Xing to open his eyes. He wanted to speak, but found that his throat was very dry. He could only helplessly say: "Water..."

"The water is here! The water is here! Get out of the way!" The woman put Yingchen and Xiaohuo aside, gently helped Han Xing up, and carefully fed him water.

After drinking half a bottle of water, Han Xing felt his throat moistened. It seemed that he had been unconscious for quite some time.

"Ahem... I'm back!" He opened his bright eyes, looked at everyone with a slight smile on his lips, his eyes flashing with dazzling confidence and joy.

Xiaohuo flew to Han Xing and stared at her without blinking, "Huh? Xiaoxing, am I seeing things? You...you have holy water in your body?" Xiaohuo shouted in surprise.

"Haha! That's right, this time I have such an adventure, all thanks to you." Han Xing said as he looked at the woman.

"Me? What do you mean?" the woman asked in confusion.

"When I was unconscious... I fell into an illusion, and it was similar to the one Xiaohuo had cast. After breaking it, I saw a person... No, I don't know if he was a human or not. He was just a ball of human-shaped mist. It was him who said that I had passed some test and then gave me the ability to use the holy water." Han Xing simply recounted the story of how he fell into the illusion, his eyes slightly blurred as he looked into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Could it be... a benefactor?" the woman asked thoughtfully.

"Benefactor?" Han Xing raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion.

"Yes, it could be him! Because my magic power was given by my benefactor!" The woman said with admiration and yearning in her eyes.

"That should be him. I feel his magic power is the same as yours! By the way, how about he being your benefactor?" Han Xing wanted to know everything about the Silver Mist Man.

"It all starts with my experience. My family was the richest businessman at that time. Later, I met a small businessman and we fell in love at first sight, but my father stopped us. Then we eloped. On the night I left, I gave him the key to my family's vault. I just wanted him to take some money to live on, but I didn't expect him to steal all my family's property and kill people to silence them. I was kept in the dark at first until I found out by accident. In the end, I left sadly and wanted to end my life, but I regretted it when facing death in the end. Fortunately, my benefactor appeared in time and saved me when I was still pregnant. He helped me and my daughter survive here. My benefactor said that if we want to go out, we have to wait for someone we can't kill. I think that person is you! Please take us out! We are willing to be your maids!" The woman briefly recounted her life experience and then solemnly requested.

"I don't need any maid!" Han Xing rejected it without even thinking.

"Well...what do you have to do to take us out?" the woman asked with some difficulty.

"I don't need a maid, but I need partners. Are you willing to be my partners?" Han Xing said seriously with a smile on his face.

"You mean... this..." The woman looked at the girl, and when she saw the girl nodded slightly, she said with gratitude: "Okay! We are willing to be your partners! Thank you! Master!" The woman had followed Yingchen and called Han Xing Master.

"You're welcome. Also, what are your names?"

"My name is Han Qingyu, and my daughter's name is Han Xi." Han Qingyu replied.

"Can you tell me that person's name?" Han Xing suddenly wanted to know more about that unfaithful person.

"He...his name is Chu Rong." Han Qingyu said the name with a little resentment.

"Is your surname Chu?" Han Xing asked thoughtfully.

"What? Young Master, do you know someone named Chu?" Han Qingyu asked excitedly.

"Tell me first, your family has a lot of property, right?" Han Xing asked a completely irrelevant question.

"Of course, at that time, my family's gold coins and wires could fill up an entire room. However, I would not let them get away with my family's money. Before I died, I cast a curse, cursing them and their descendants from using my property. Fortunately, my benefactor saved me later." Although Han Qingyu was puzzled, he still told it all honestly.

"Curse? Can your curse be broken?" Han Xing seemed to have grasped the key.

"If it's a killing curse, it can't be broken, but I'm not dead, so anyone with strong magic power can break it."

"Is that so! Maybe I know who his descendants are, hehe!" Han Xing smiled strangely again. Xiaohuo and Yingchen beside her understood what bad idea she had.

There were only two newcomers who asked in confusion, "Master, what are you laughing at?"

"I laughed - our enemies might be the same!" Han Xing would not let the Chu family, the family that indirectly killed his mother and Xiaojing, have an easy time, especially now that he knew that his "grandfather" had used ill-gotten gains, Han Xing's disgust for them deepened a lot!

"What? You know his descendants, right?" Han Qingyu asked anxiously.

"His descendants now are Chu Ziyi and his wife and children. I heard that their family was not rich before, but in Chu Ziyi's generation, they suddenly became rich. It seems that someone must have broken your curse and allowed him to obtain your family's property." Han Xing expressed his speculation.

“…Yes! That’s right, it must be like this! Bastards! Chu family, just wait for me, I will take back everything that belongs to me bit by bit!” Han Qingyu said hatefully.

"Okay! After we get back, you can start working on this. We are going to completely destroy the Chu family! Let them lose everything and have a good taste of that kind of pain! By the way, I am going to do something big in the future. If you want to quit now, it's not too late. Don't blame me for not reminding you then." Han Xing said it solemnly.

"No matter how dangerous what you are going to do is, we will always follow you!" Han Qingyu said seriously.

"Okay!" Han Xing smiled sincerely. Suddenly, a male voice rang out in his ears: "You guys leave... Use the holy water and barrier to protect everyone..." This was... the voice of the Silver Mist! Leave? How to leave? Holy water? Barrier? How to protect? A bunch of questions filled Han Xing's mind. Before he could figure it out, the ground shook. No way! An earthquake?

"What's going on? Why is it like this here?" Xiaohuo shouted depressedly.

"I don't know either. It's never happened like this before!" Han Qingyu was even more depressed than Xiaohuo.

"Be careful! The ground is cracking!" Yingchen paid close attention to the changes around him.

"Oh my God! Water! Water is seeping out! What is this?" Xiaohuo was overwhelmed when he saw the water.

Han Xing dodged carefully, thinking about what the Silver Mist Man said, the holy water and the barrier? How to protect everyone? Should he use the holy water and the barrier at the same time? But what's the use? Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. Yes! Combining the holy water and the barrier, maybe it can create a hard shield to block the invasion of water. He did it as soon as he thought of it. Han Xing first cast a spherical barrier around him, and then tried to use the holy water to stabilize the barrier, forming a protective ball. Success! Han Xing shouted happily: "Everyone come to me!" Everyone gathered around obediently. Han Xing formed a protective ball again, protecting everyone inside.

At this moment, the ground completely collapsed, and groundwater surged up like a flood. Everyone watched helplessly as the land was submerged by the sea. Han Xing hadn't been very good at using it at first, and nearly broke the protective ball. After floating around on the seabed for a while, Han Xing finally became proficient. Now he can do it so well that even circling the seabed is no problem.

But she has no time to waste, her friends are waiting for her!
