The Rising Phoenix-Chapter 161: Gold...

Bai Xifeng and her people did not plan to stay long in this village. They left after telling the villagers to move to another place. This villager was not in a good location.

The head of the villagers told Bai Xifeng that it was not like they did not want to move out but moving to another place cost money. They did not have any money to move out.

After hearing that, Bai Xifeng immediately gave the money and jewellery that she got from the bandits. The villagers were shocked to see it.

This was their first time looking at this much money. And jewellery too.

Bai Xifeng asked the head of the villagers if this money was enough for them to move out. The head of villagers was speechless.

It was more than enough. They would live comfortably until 9 generations.

The head of the villagers wanted to refuse the money and the jewellery.

Bai Xifeng refused to accept them back. He told them that they could do whatever they wanted with the money and jewellery. She did not care about that anymore.

Bai Xifeng brought her people left the village. She sat inside the carriage feeling bored. Then she remembered about the safe that she snatched from the mountain bandits.

She had not looked at what was inside the safe. She quickly brought that out. She looked at the lock. She tried to break the safe but nothing happened.

The safe was still fine. Without any scratch or crack.

"Whoever makes this safe is a good armament master." Bai Xifeng commented.

Since hard ways could not be used, she would try the soft way. She began to observe the safe.

’Hmm... The material used is not bad.’ Bai Xifeng looked at the safe intensely.

"Let me try this." Bai Xifeng said.

She began to play around the safe. The lock was a combination of the four numbers. The possibility was trillions. It was impossible to think about the numbers.

Bai Xifeng remembered about something. She took out her paper, ink and brush. She began to write something.

Done writing, she pasted the paper on the safe’s body. The safe turned transparent. She did happen to see the combination. She was very surprised at what was inside. It seemed it was gold bars.

"Wow, sweet...." Bai Xifeng smiled. "Time to open the safe."

The correct numbers were visible. She took the safe and successfully opened the face.

"Next time, I will use the soft method." Bai Xifeng promised here!f.

The safe was opened. As Bai Xifeng saw earlier, it was really gold bars.

Xiao Li and Yu Xiaoqing never saw gold before. However, they knew pretty much how much one gold cost.

"Wow, gold." Xiao Li said.

"We are very lucky to encounter the mountain bandits." Bai Xifeng was happy.

’Master, it should be the opposite.’ Yu Xiaohui who sitting out said in her mind.

"Master, we are going to enter the town ahead. We need to stay in the town for tonight. Our horses also want some rest." Yu Yu Nianzu said.

"Sure." Bai Xifeng agreed.

This time, the outsiders who wanted to enter their town needed to be. Twenty taels.

"Just pay there." Bai Xifeng ordered.

Yu Nianzu paid. After that, they were allowed to enter. They began to search the town for accommodation. They finally found one.

The inn owner welcomed them. They requested three rooms.

"You guys are so lucky." The owner of the inn said.

"Huh? Why is that?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Young Master Shitong finally got married to the most beautiful woman here." The owner said.

"Young Master Shitong?" A name that Bai Xifeng never heard before.

"Oh, you are not from here. Let me tell you. He is the most handsome and talented cultivator here. He was also the son of the Mayor Xue." The owner said. He was proud as Xue Shitong was his son.

"Oh, I see." Bai Xifeng nodded. "When is the wedding?"

"Tomorrow." The owner said.

"Do you think I can go and watch the wedding?" Bai Xifeng asked.

It was not like her interested in the young master or what-so-ever. She was more interested in the marriage. This is an ancient china marriage. She wanted to see the ceremony.

The owner laughed. "If you did not relate to Xue Family, don’t bother. They would not allow you to enter."

"Really? Okay..." Bai Xifeng gave up the idea coming going to watch the wedding.

...

Bai Xifeng was sleeping until she sensed a presence inside her room. She opened her eyes slowly to see what was going on there.

She could see a shadow. From the size of the body, it was a woman. That woman approached Bai Xifeng.

Her hands reached out for Bai Xifeng. Bai Xifeng grabbed that woman’s hand.

The woman almost shouted when Bai Xifeng quickly closed her mouth. They looked at each other.

"Who are you? And what are you doing here?" Bai Xifeng narrowed her eyes.

She assumed this woman was a killer that being hired to kill her.

The woman’s eyes looked at Bai Xifeng like she was begging for Bai Xifeng to let her go first and listened to her explanation.

"I will let you talk but don’t shout, understand?" Bai Xifeng said.

The woman nodded several times. Then Bai Xifeng moved her hand from the woman’s mouth.

"Please help me!" That was what came out first from the woman.

"Huh?" Bai Xifeng could not understand.

Bai Xifeng already let the woman go and distanced herself from the woman.

"You are a traveller, am I right?" The woman asked.

"Yes. I did." Bai Xifeng nodded.

"I am going to be forced to marry someone that I don’t want." The woman cried over.

Her father sold her to the Xue Family as she was some kind of jewellery. She did not want to get married.

"I hear he is a good man. You might be happy if you get married to him." Bai Xifeng commented.

"What? Good man? I don’t care about that. I want to travel around the world. I don’t want to be stuck here without knowing about other places." The woman said.

Bai Xifeng looked at the woman. The woman was indeed a beauty. This woman had a strong personality.

"What is your name?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Hu Meifeng." The woman answered.

No wonder Hu Meifeng wanted to run away. Her name literally meant beautiful wind.

"What if he found out this before you managed to run away from this place?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"I will fight him until death." Hu Meifeng said.

"Good. You can wait until tomorrow." Bai Xifeng said. "So, how long are you going to stay here?"

"Well, can I stay here?" Hu Meifeng asked. "I told the keeper outside that you told me to come here and serve you?"

"You what?" Bai Xifeng was shocked. "Wait! The person outside must recognise you if you are a beautiful woman as the owner said."

"Well, this is not my face. I use a mask." Hu Meifeng said.

"Owh. It looks real." Bai Xifeng looked at the face.

"So, can you let me stay here?" Hu Meifeng said.

"Okay... But you can sleep on the floor. I will not give up my bed." Bai Xifeng quickly jumped onto the bed securing her place.

"Okay... Okay..." Hu Meifeng said. The beggar could not choose.

"Are you going to sleep?" Baishe suddenly asked Bai Xifeng a question.

"Huh? Yes. I am going to sleep. Why do you ask?" Bai Xifeng answered.

"So, you believe this woman?" Baishe asked.

This woman lacked senses. How could she go to sleep at a time like that? What if the woman decided to kill her?

Bai Xifeng grinned. "This is why you are here. You are going to protect me, right?"

Baishe was speechless. So, not because she trusted the woman, but because he was here to prevent the avoid danger from her. She was already thinking about that.

If the Mirror World was a human, he wanted to ask it why it chose such a lazy human as its master.

Hu Meifeng who sat on the floor could not sleep. She was excited for the next day. It was not for the wedding but for the journey that she would be going.

She really hoped that the maid did not realize her disappearance. Otherwise, it would be chaos. It would also ruin her plan.
