The Rising Phoenix-Chapter 116: The Promise

Bai Xifeng arrived at the Shanghai Pavillion. The guards already knew that Bai Xifeng was a special guest. They treated Bai Xifeng with respect.

"Welcome Young Master Long." Shanghai Pavillion’s people greeted Bai Xifeng.

Bai Xifeng just nodded. "Is your manager here?"

"Manager Si is on the fourth floor. Allow me to guide you to him." One of them said.

"Sure." Bai Xifeng nodded.

They went to the fourth floor. The guests on the first floor were surprised to see people from Shanghai Pavillion treat that young man.

They wanted to know about that young man. So, they approached one of the Shanghai Pavillion’s people.

"Hey, who is that young man? It seems you treat him differently." One of the guests asked.

"We did not know much about him. Manager Sir is the one who tells us to treat him with respect." The people of Shanghai Pavillion told the guest.

Si Ji Huang smiled when he saw Bai Xifeng.

"Young Master Long." Si Ji Huang greeted Bai Xifeng.

"Manager Si." Bai Xifeng also greeted Si Ji Huang.

"What’s bring you here today?" Si Ji Huang asked.

Bai Xifeng did not waste any time and took out the pills and elixirs that she wanted to sell to Shanghai Pavilion.

Si Ji Huang was surprised to see the new stocks of pills and elixirs. The quantity seemed to increase.

Bai Xifeng began to explain about the pills and elixirs. Si Ji Huang took notes about what Bai Xifeng told him.

Si Ji Huang began to calculate the goods that Bai Xifeng brought for him that day. After calculation, Si Ji Huang told him everything was 10 million.

Si Ji Huang told his subordinates to prepare the cash because he knew that Bai Xifeng preferred cash. While waiting, they were waiting about other things.

"Do you know if someone has an illness that people could not treat?" Bai Xifeng said.

"Why do you say that, Young Master Long?" Si Ji Huang asked back.

"Well, to tell you the truth, I am also a pharmacist. So, I wonder if there are any weird illnesses here?" Bai Xifeng stated.

Si Ji Huang was surprised to see that Bai Xifeng was also a pharmacist. Not many people could do the double profession like Bai Xifeng even though alchemist and pharmacist were kind of the same.

"Oh, many people had weird illnesses. They do come for me asking if we have medicine or something like that. If Young Master Long wants, I can promote you to them." Si Ji Huang stated.

"Oh, sure." Bai Xifeng said.

While they were talking to each other, the cash had already been prepared. The people sent the cash to Si Ji Huang. Si Ji Huang handed over the cash to Bai Xifeng.

"Here, Young Master Long. You may calculate it first before leaving." Si Ji Huang said.

Bai Xifeng did as Si Ji Huang said. She calculated the cash very fast. After knowing the cash was enough, Bai Xifeng began to put the cash into her space bag. She would transfer the cash later into the Mirror World.

"Well, we are done here. I will excuse myself first." Bai Xifeng stated.

"Sure, Young Master Long. See you again." Si Ji Huang said.

Bai Xifeng did the Fist and palm salute. Si Ji Huang also did the same. Then Bai Xifeng left.

Bai Xifeng left the Shanghai Pavillion. She went to the empty alley to teleport herself. After confirming no one was watching, she teleported herself.

The destination was Sophia Mountain. Bai Xifeng took out the disguise. She also brought Baihu out.

Baihu jumped out excitedly. It was the first time Bai Xifeng brought him out.

"Xiaobai, we will go inside the mountain. Remember not to stay far from me." Bai Xifeng reminded Baihu.

Baihu nodded. Both of them walked into the Sophia Mountain. Bai Xifeng already defeated most of the beasts around the outside areas of Sophia Mountain.

When they went to the middle areas of Sophia Mountain, they came across the beasts right now.

Baihu was a ferocious beast in the first place. He helped Bai Xifeng defeat the beasts. Even though it was their first time fighting together, the combo was excellent.

Bai Xifeng could feel that her fighting skills increased. After three hours of fighting nonstop, Bai Xifeng took a rest. Baihu was playing around.

While they were fighting, Bai Xifeng also collected a lot of herbs that she could use for her alchemy and pharmaceutical skills.

Then Baihu suddenly growled in one direction. Bai Xifeng became alert and grabbed her weapon while looking in the same direction as Baihu growled off.

Then, someone appeared in the darkness. Bai Xifeng’s eyes lifted when she saw the person.

"Oh, it’s you." Bai Xifeng put down her weapon. She turned to Baihu. "Xiaobai, stop growling. He is a friend."

Hearing this, Baihu stopped growling at the person.

"Hey, we meet again." Bai Xifeng smiled at the person.

The person was the same man that she met before, the one who had been eating together with her before.

"Are you practising too?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Hmm..." The man nodded.

"Oh, since you are here, I will cook something for you as well." Bai Xifeng said.

Bai Xifeng began to take out the utensils for cooking. Last time, she did not have enough utensils to cook before. This time, she made sure to make some preparations before going out.

The man was kind of speechless. This girl really liked to eat. She even brought all of the utensils to cook here.

Bai Xifeng happily prepared the ingredients to cook. She killed a giant pigeon before. She already cleaned up the meat before putting it away.

She already knew what to do with the pigeon. She wanted to cook roasted pigeons. She marinated the pigeon first and let it stay for a while

While waiting for the pigeon to be ready to be roasted, she put on the fire. After that, she roasted the pigeon.

"Are you also like this?" The man suddenly asked.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Bravely invite a stranger to eat with you like this?" The man asked.

"Are we strangers? We were eating together last time. Wait, what is your name? You don’t tell me last time." Bai Xifeng said.

The man was speechless. This young girl was too defenceless.

"Anyway, you seem not to want to harm me. So, it is okay." Bai Xifeng said.

Bai Xifeng felt that the man in front of her right now would not harm her. She could not possibly treat someone who did not wish to harm her like an enemy.

"Is that the white tiger cub?" The man looked at Baihu.

"Hmm... I brought him with me since his mother died. His mother also wants to me take care of him." Bai Xifeng stated.

"But you did not contact him." The man said.

He could see that the little white tiger did not establish a contract with Bai Xifeng.

"Oh, about that... I think I will wait for him to grow up first. I will not rob his freedom because he is still young." Bai Xifeng rubbed Baihu’s head.

The man was surprised. He could see that this little white tiger was a special beast.

People usually contracted the beast when the beast was still young because it would be easy to control them and develop the relationship.

Not many would be able to resist the temptation to have a contract beast by their side like this young girl here. He smiled.

Bai Xifeng did not pay any attention to the man. Otherwise, she would notice something from this man.

Her attention was on the pigeon that she roasted right now. It seemed already cooked. She checked it and it was ready.

She divided the pigeon. Half of it belonged to Baihu. Another half was divided between her and the man. Baihu ate the pigeon after Bai Xifeng placed the roasted pigeon in front of him.

"Here, taste it." Bai Xifeng gave the plate to the man.

The man received the plate. He tasted it. Hmm... It was delicious. When he looked up, he saw an expectation look on the young girl.

"How is it?" Bai Xifeng asked him.

"Hmm... It is indeed delicious. You are really a good cook." The man sang a praise to Bai Xifeng.

Bai Xifeng smiled. She did not know why she was happy to hear the praise from the man.

"If we meet again, I will cook another dish for you." Bai Xifeng stated.

The man heard the promise, smiled deeply.
