The Rising Phoenix

"Do whatever you want to them." Bai Xifeng said.

Cerberus responded. He was bored. So, when Bai Xifeng said something like that, he was happy.

"Guys, don’t be afraid. It is just a low-life beast. If we combined our strength, we could defeat the beast." The leader said.

Hearing what the leader said, the merchant group seemed to be motivated. They took out the sword and pointed the sword at Cerberus.

"Attack!!!" The leader shouted.

The merchant group marched toward Cerberus. Cerberus seemed to be playing with them. He did not attack them seriously.

Bai Xifeng clicked her tongue. "Hey, if you want to delay our journey, you might not receive your share of pills tomorrow."

Cerberus was shocked to hear this. He did not hold back anymore. He raised his paw and swung it at the leader’s body. The leader was sent flying. Once he fell on the ground, he coughed up some blood. The gang stopped on their track. They did not want to get hit like that.

Cerberus did not stop there. He attacked the people from the merchant group. Everyone became half dead when Cerberus was finished. Cerberus ran toward Bai Xifeng.

"Don’t skip our portion tomorrow," Ichiro said.

"Yeah..." Saburo and Jiro chimed in.

"Fine... Fine... I will not skip your portion." Bai Xifeng nodded.

Bai Xifeng tossed one pill into each mouth. They caught the pills without fail. She yawned. She should get some rest before starting to walk again. The night was chill. She needed something to warm her body. So, she called out her pillow.

"Huahua..." Bai Xifeng said.

Princess Huahua appeared in front of Bai Xifeng. Bai Xifeng jumped toward Princess Huahua. She hugged Princess Huahua and dazed off.

"Huahua... It feels so good to hug you. So warm." Bai Xifeng said.

"It also feels good to be hugged by you, Xifeng. You can sleep in peace." Princess Huahua said.

Everyone did not say a single word. They were utterly speechless. Who was this girl? She did not only have one beast but two beasts with her. She must be from a renowned or rich family to be able to afford two beasts. They did not dare to ask about that.

The first beast seemed to be the night guard. The merchant group wanted to run away, but they were seriously injured. People who had their elixir in their hands did not dare to drink carelessly in front ot the beast who injured them. They were afraid that if the beast knew that they were fine, the beast would strike them again. So, they endured the pain all night.

When Bai Xifeng woke up the next morning, she was surprised to see the merchant group was still there, lying on the ground. She wondered why they had not left last night. Well, since they were here, she should get some compensation from the merchant group.

Bai Xifeng walked toward the leader. She kicked the leader. The sudden pain jolted the leader awake from his sleep. Seeing Bai Xifeng in front of him, he was shocked and instantly cried out loud.

"Please, don’t kill me... Don’t kill me." The leader cried, begging for Bai Xifeng’s mercy.

The leader’s cry instantly woke up those people who were still in their dreamland. People turned their heads toward Bai Xifeng and the leader.

"Shut up!" Bai Xifeng snapped.

The leader immediately stopped crying.

"Crying like a child. How embarrassing." Bai Xifeng said. "I thought you left last night. Well, since you are still here, take out the valuable things you have right now."

The leader and his merchant group were stunned. So, it was okay to leave last night? If they knew about this, they would have just left last time. But, now what? She sounded that she wanted to rob them.

"What? You don’t want to do that? Do you want him to force your hand?" Bai Xifeng tilted her head in Cerberus’s direction.

The leader shook his head instantly. "Please, don’t. I will give everything to you."

The leader took out everything from his inner world. He stored some elixirs, money and gold. Bai Xifeng was instantly captured by money and gold.

"That’s all?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Yeah." The leader nodded.

"Really?" Bai Xifeng raised her eyebrow.

"Yes... Yes... I don’t have anything more." The leader said in tears.

Bai Xifeng took all of the money and gold. As for the elixirs, she did not have any use for them. They might not be as good as her elixir.

"Tell your people to do the same." Bai Xifeng said.

The leader ordered his men to take out the valuable things from their inner world. They did not dare to disobey their leader’s order because they were afraid of Bai Xifeng.

Bai Xifeng looked at the items and showed a disgusted expression. The men did not have money at all.

"Your leader must be stingy with the money. He has a lot of money. Even gold. He did not give you a single cent, but you still work like a cow for him." Bai Xifeng said.

The men did not say anything. However, Bai Xifeng knew that the men took her words hard to their minds. In the end, Bai Xifeng did not take anything from the men. If it was not, like she did not want to take from them, but there was nothing to take from them.
