Return of the Phoenix Lady

Several days have passed since Yingchen and Yingrui were rescued. There has been no movement from Meiruo in these days. Liu Hanyang was forced to practice. It was said that it was the order given by Liu Hexian himself, while Han Xing has been concentrating on practicing.

It was a sunny day, and the weather was nice. Han Xing decided to take a break. Cultivation cannot be rushed, and one must combine work and rest.

It’s so comfortable to lie on the couch with eyes closed and bask in the sun!

Han Xing, who had sharp facial features, suddenly felt that someone was staring at her, but there didn't seem to be any hostility, so she didn't care and continued to bask in the sun.

After a while, the person still hadn't left. Han Xing opened her eyes curiously and looked at the little boy, whose eyes were only exposed. The boy seemed to know that he had been discovered. He shrank back and wanted to run away.

"Hey! Why don't you come and sit for a while?" Han Xing said kindly.

"Is it okay?" The boy murmured softly, like a mosquito. If Han Xing hadn't had exceptional hearing, he wouldn't have heard it.

"Of course! Come sit for a while."

The boy looked at Han Xing in surprise, "How can you hear what I say?"

"Haha! Is it weird? Then come here!" Han Xing said with a smile.

The boy struggled internally for a while, and finally slowly moved to Han Xing's side.

"What's your name? Why are you here?" Han Xing asked curiously.

The boy looked at Han Xing timidly and said, "My... my name is Liu Hanyun. I came out for a walk, but... I got lost." His voice got softer as he spoke.

Han Xing was a little surprised. It turned out that this was my second brother!

"Haha! My name is Liu Hanxing, you can call me Xing'er. Nice to meet you, Brother Yun!" Hanxing said with a smile.

"You...you don't despise my background? My mother was just a maid!" Liu Hanyun said with his head down.

Han Xing propped up Liu Hanyun's head, looked into his glass-like eyes, and said, "Brother Yun, remember, all people are born equal. There is no distinction between high and low. Ha! If we really want to compare lowliness, then Liu Hanyue's mother was a prostitute! Isn't she even lower? So whether this is noble or lowly depends on how you look at it."

After hearing these words, Liu Hanyun looked at Han Xing in surprise. He never thought that Han Xing, who looked only one year old, could speak such profound truths. The admiration in his eyes was revealed without any concealment.

Han Xing felt a little embarrassed by his gaze and quickly changed the subject, "Which courtyard do you live in?"

"Suheyuan!" Liu Hanyun said softly.

"Oh, I see. I'll come and play with you when I'm free, okay?"

Liu Hanyun nodded happily after hearing this.

Han Xing looked at his slightly thin face and felt a little distressed. She took the snacks on the side and handed them to Liu Hanyun, saying, "Eat! You look so thin!"

Liu Hanyun refused repeatedly and refused to accept it.

Han Xing had no choice but to say, "Please accept it! I can't eat so much by myself, and it would be a waste if I can't finish it. I'll give it to you! Just consider it a meeting gift from your younger brother, okay?"

Liu Hanyun had no choice but to accept it. The two chatted for a while, but most of the time it was Han Xing who was talking and Liu Hanyun was listening. The occasional "hmm" and "oh" proved that he was listening.

Han Xing saw that it was getting late and was afraid that his mother would worry if he stayed too long, so he ordered the servants to take him back.

Liu Hanyun took a few steps, then suddenly turned around and asked, "Can I come to see you again in the future?"

"Haha! Of course, you are welcome anytime!" Han Xing replied with a smile.

Watching the thin figure gradually disappear into the distance, Han Xing lamented in his heart, Liu Hexian, how many people do you owe debts to?

Four years later

Han Xing was now five years old. Extremely talented, she had already reached the rank 5 Advanced Magician and the rank 1 Intermediate Warrior. This rapid advancement greatly frustrated Mo Qingyuan. Remember, at the age of five, he was just a rookie learning magic and fighting spirit, so he constantly complained to Han Xing. Finally, Han Xing, unable to bear it any longer, pulled out the Soul-Intoxicating Wine she had secretly brewed to silence Mo Qingyuan. As the name suggests, Soul-Intoxicating Wine is a wine that intoxicates even the soul. It was something Han Xing had developed while studying the art of wine in her previous life, but she hadn't yet brewed it. However, a new problem arose: Mo Qingyuan was constantly pestering Han Xing for wine...

Over the past four years, Han Xing has also encountered Ying Jue, Mei Hun, and Yi Ren. They all have stories to tell, and their names were given by Han Xing. They were all sent to Mo Qingyuan to cultivate. Over the years, Liu Hanyang has come less often, cultivating all day. Alas... growing up is just not the right thing! Liu Hanyun, on the other hand, has been coming quite frequently. His mother, Si He, has also become much closer to her, often visiting. Han Xing's biggest discovery about Liu Hanyun is that the former little lamb has gradually become a little fox in sheep's clothing, incredibly treacherous, with a specialty in feigning pity. It's said that this is his way of protecting himself. Poor kid!

Look, the little fox is pretending to be a little sheep again, looking at Han Xing with tears in his eyes, as if Han Xing had done something to wrong him, ah...

"Does it have to be like this?" Han Xing asked persistently.

"Xing'er, please help me!" Mou Yun said coquettishly.

"But I'm too weak!" Han Xing's old face turned red.

"Xing'er, good Xing'er, come here!" Mou Yun said stubbornly.

"Oh... okay!" Han Xing resigned herself to her fate and began to rub Liu Hanyun's back...

It was Han Xing's fifth birthday, and unusually, this one had to undergo a magic attribute test. It was said that Liu Hanyang had dual attributes—water and ice. People with dual attributes were rare, so Liu Hexian cherished him dearly. Liu Hanyun, on the other hand, had a wood attribute, but because of his background, Liu Hexian didn't value him. He also didn't seem particularly interested in cultivation, which contributed to his current idleness.

Late at night, Mo Qingyuan arrived. Han Xing stroked Xiaobai's fur and said, "Old man, tomorrow is my birthday!" Xiaobai was a sacred nine-tailed fox, still a juvenile, and Han Xing had already contracted it. There were three types of contracts: life contract, partnership contract, and master-servant contract. Life contract was the most tyrannical contract: the beast lived and the beast died. This type of contract greatly enhanced combat effectiveness, but few people would sign such a life-and-death contract. A partnership contract meant that no matter which party died, the other would not be affected. A master-servant contract meant that if the beast died, the person survived, but if the person died, the beast also died. This was the contract most people would sign. Han Xing and Xiaobai signed a partnership contract.

Mo Qingyuan took a step back reflexively. You know, on Han Xing's 2nd birthday, Han Xing cheated him out of many elixirs; on Han Xing's 3rd birthday, Han Xing snatched away a precious holy artifact, the white jade flute; on Han Xing's 4th birthday, he voluntarily gave Xiaobai to him. Alas... he was afraid of being robbed.

Watching Mo Qingyuan's actions, Han Xing said with amusement and seriousness: "Old man, don't worry! All I want this time is peace!"

Mo Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay!" After that, a silver-white headband appeared in front of Han Xing.

"If you wear this headband, the magic test ball won't be able to detect the magic power and fighting spirit that you have hidden. Of course, you can also hide them all." Mo Qingyuan said seriously.

Han Xing grabbed the hairband without hesitation and tied her black hair into a ponytail.

It was another beautiful day with a gentle breeze. Chu Xiang'er came to Han Xing's room early to wash her, muttering to herself, "Xing'er! This time, you can't act up like you did when you were one year old, okay? No matter whether you can practice magic or fight with your fighting spirit, you are my good Xing'er. I just want you to be safe and sound..."

Listening to his mother's words, Han Xing felt warm in his heart.

"Madam, madam! The master has sent someone to pick you up. Are you ready, madam?" Xiao Qing's voice could be heard from a distance.

"Okay, okay! I'm coming right away!" Chu Xiang'er pulled Han Xing out.
