The Rising Phoenix-Chapter 954: A Fairy

"We will talk again later." Zhang Minglu said.

Refusing to hear a single word more, Zhang Minglu fled the room.

Yao Huifang did not chase after Zhang Minglu. She had already determined in her heart to leave him.

....

Bai Xifeng had just woken up from her sleep. After leaving Lotus City, she had taken a much-needed rest. She had been moving for three hours before she decided to stop and continue her journey once the sun came up.

She looked around at her surroundings. As always, she was sleeping in a tree again. It was much safer to stay off the ground like that. After eating a quick and simple breakfast, she resumed her journey.

She did not want to walk anymore, as the distance ahead was still great. So, she called Cerberus out from her space. Cerberus already knew that he would be used as transportation once again. Bai Xifeng leapt onto Cerberus’s broad back and lay down comfortably.

"Cerberus... go!" Bai Xifeng commanded, and they immediately set off.

Bai Xifeng managed to fall asleep on Cerberus’s back despite the beast’s speed. That was because Cerberus had deliberately slowed down his pace, slightly afraid of disturbing Bai Xifeng’s slumber.

However, the journey was not smooth for long. A group of people suddenly stopped Cerberus in his tracks.

"Boss... looking at this beast, we can tell that this is a rare creature."

"Yeah... I have never seen such a strange beast as this. It must be a rare species."

"We could get a lot of money if we could tame the beast and sell it."

"Zhou Yun, what do you think? Can you tame this beast?"

Everyone turned their gaze toward a young man wearing a blue outfit. Zhou Yun carefully looked at the beast.

"I will try." Zhou Yun said.

Zhou Yun stepped forward, facing the beast in front of him.

"Hey, beast. You should be a good boy and let me tame you." Zhou Yun said to Cerberus.

The three heads of the wolf looked at each other and nodded in unison. They all shared the same thought. ’This man is stupid.’

Cerberus felt that he was merely wasting his time here. So, he decided to step aside and leave the place. However, just as he was about to move, he was blocked by the group once again.

"Zhou Yun, do your trick. We will block the beast from leaving." One of the men said.

Zhou Yun took out a flute and began to play. A wave of sound flowed toward Cerberus.

Bai Xifeng, who was sleeping on Cerberus’s back, immediately woke up from her sleep when she heard the music.

"Cerberus, what is going on?" Bai Xifeng asked while rubbing her eyes and yawning softly.

The music abruptly stopped. The men also heard the voice. It was clearly a woman’s voice.

"Has this beast already reached the rank of a Lord Rank Soul Beast?"

"How is that possible?"

"Zhou Yun, explain this to us!"

"Huh... why did I hear a human voice?" Bai Xifeng asked again in confusion.

She finally sat up from her lying position and looked down. She saw a group of men surrounding Cerberus. At the same time, the men also saw Bai Xifeng. They were completely stunned to see such a beautiful woman resting on the beast’s back.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to block my path?" Bai Xifeng asked calmly.

For a moment, the men did not respond.

"Hey..." Bai Xifeng called out, waving her hand to get their attention.

The men finally snapped back to reality.

"No... No... We don’t have any bad intentions toward you."

"That’s right!"

"We just wanted to tame this beast and sell it to the Beast Tamer Guild."

All eyes immediately turned to the last man who spoke. The person standing next to him promptly smacked him on the head.

"So, you are targeting my Cerberus?" Bai Xifeng narrowed her eyes slightly.

"No... No... We did not know that he was already tamed."

"That’s right!"

Everyone waved their hands frantically while shaking their heads. Zhou Yun stepped forward and looked up at Bai Xifeng.

"Young Lady, please forgive us. We truly did not know that the beast had already been tamed." Zhou Yun explained sincerely.

"Oh... I see... Then, can I leave now?" Bai Xifeng asked. Then she mumbled under her breath, "If I arrive late, I might get lectured again."

"May I know where you are going, Young Lady?" Zhou Yun asked.

"Tian City." Bai Xifeng replied. "Well... I am going now."

"Young Lady... Wait..." Zhou Yun wanted to ask Bai Xifeng’s name.

However, Bai Xifeng did not hear his voice since she was already shouting to her mount.

"Cerberus! Full speed!" Bai Xifeng commanded.

Upon hearing her order, Cerberus immediately dashed forward. Within a minute, he had already disappeared from the men’s sight.

"Hey, did we just meet with a fairy?"

"Ahh... She is so beautiful..."

"Who is she?"

"We are so stupid... We should ask for her name."

"Well... She mentioned going to Tian City. We can go and check it."

"Yeah... I am sure someone will know about her since her appearance is so outstanding."

"Then, let’s go to Tian City."

The men quickly came to an agreement.

Before long, Bai Xifeng could already see Tian City in the distance.

"Cerberus, you can stop now." Bai Xifeng said.

Cerberus gradually reduced his speed and eventually came to a complete stop. Once Cerberus halted, Bai Xifeng jumped down from his back. She noticed that many people were lining up in long rows to enter the city.

However, Bai Xifeng did not join the line. Instead, she walked straight toward the guards.
