Chapter 72: Dancing with the Phoenix in Heaven

  "Hmph!" As soon as Bai Xiaofei saw him, her pretty face was covered with a thick layer of frost, and she said in an extremely cold tone:

  "A lone hero, bare-handed and empty-fisted, single-handedly charging into the army of millions of demons, coming and going as he pleases, invincible and unrivaled. He rescued an innocent young girl, ignoring the great heroes and mighty warriors of the world. Qian Xiaodou, the unparalleled great knight, do you still remember a humble girl like me?"

  "Wah~" Qian Xiaodou smiled happily, with a pleased expression: "It's just a small matter, but everyone has made such a big deal out of it... Hehe, I'm so handsome...... Uh, good Feier, I know I was wrong~ Ah, I won't dare to do it again, please forgive me this time, don't go!"

  Bai Xiaofei was originally angry and turned around to leave, but was stopped by this guy. He stepped forward with one foot and shouted loudly:

  "You big fool, you're so weak! What were you thinking?! Ah, are you trying to get yourself killed?! I'm so angry I could kill you with one sword strike!"

  Qian Xiaodou stepped forward with a pained expression and said: "Hao Feier, that's all in the past, don't be mad at me anymore. Oh, right, I just saw it earlier, can you guys handle such a small mouth?"

  Bai Xiaofei immediately rolled her eyes and said, "You think everyone is like you, a young master who can eat ten bowls of rice at one meal, eight dishes and one soup. I'm really impressed by your appetite! No wonder you're the biggest foodie in Jiuhua Mountain for hundreds of years!"

  "Ah~" Qian Xiaodou let out a loud cry and said urgently: "I can eat, but I can also work hard! Hmph~ I alone can eat the food for five people, but my contributions are worth at least 500 people's strength. Moreover, I'm cultivating the Holy Battle Law, so I need to eat this much or else it won't be effective. And another thing, my figure is slender and handsome, not a bit sloppy!"

  "De Xing!" Bai Xiaofei pouted and said: "What did you find me for? If nothing, I'll go back to eat something and then cultivate. We're all actively preparing for the Nine Peaks Competition a hundred years later to win the qualification to go to Tian Mu. It's not easy to come down and rest for a while... Hmm, where is your top-grade artifact, Tian Dou Flying Sword? Didn't you fail in refining it recently?"

  "What's the loss?" Qian Xiaodou laughed triumphantly: "It was sold, decades ago, I got a shop at the Tiandao Alliance Trading Conference and made a lot of spirit stones. This time I'm here to have fun with you. In two days, there will be a lively trading conference over there, how about it? Let's go join in the excitement!"

  Bai Xiaofei was originally dazed, but upon hearing this, she thought seriously for a moment, then wrinkled her cute little nose and asked:

  "The world's largest trading venue, the Tian Dao Alliance Trading Conference. There should be many good things there. Hmm... Okay, I'll go take a look tomorrow and help my sisters buy some good equipment, so they won't get tired every time they fight monsters."

  "What's going on?" Qian Xiaodou immediately revealed a sly expression and sneered: "It's just right to bring me along, good Fei'er, you wouldn't want this young master who has never been in a fight to be killed halfway, would you?"

  The next day, Bai Xiaofei wore a crisp white outfit, stepped on the Lingbao-class flying sword with her small feet, and brought Qian Xiaodou, who had his hands lazily placed on her fragrant shoulders, to the Tian Dao Alliance Trading Conference in Mount Tai.

  Along the way, Bai Xiaofei said in a bad mood: "How annoying! If it weren't for the fact that time was running out, I wouldn't have brought you along. Ugh, this is my first time bringing a flying man, and it had to be someone like you!"

  Qian Xiaodou gazed at her hand with a blissful expression, gently pinched her shoulder and smiled foolishly:

  "Goodness, we're all fellow disciples, why be so calculating? Besides, Master won't even let me use my hidden strength! Don't worry, when I get back... uh, no guarantee I can buy a flying treasure then either!"

  "Get lost!" Bai Xiaofei turned around, her beautiful eyes staring fiercely at him, saying: "Hmph! When I come back, I won't bring you along. What are you talking about hidden strength? What hidden strength do you have?"

  "Of course it's invincible! It's just that the current level is too low to use, no big deal, pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, that's the best!"

  Bai Xiaofei snorted coldly and said, "Let me tell you, there's nothing in this world that can't be defeated. The more you do, the more mistakes you make; the less you do, the fewer mistakes you make; if you don't do anything, you won't make any mistakes at all! You'd better just behave yourself and act like a young master, anyway, the war is already over. Then, according to what the masters said, each sect will start to recover and rebuild. Even in a hundred years, when it's time for the Heavenly Tomb, it'll only be about the orthodox and evil sides selecting some excellent disciples to compete for the Ling Grass!"

  Qian Xiaodou's eyes flashed, and she took a deep breath before saying: "Fighting for the spiritual grass? You... you're so crazy when fighting, don't get into any danger, no way, I'll have to protect you at that time!"

  "Who wants you to protect me!" Bai Xiaofei glared with her big beautiful eyes and coldly said: "I've told you all a million times, don't allow you to protect me, I have the ability to protect myself, I also have hidden strength, I'm not afraid of anything, I absolutely won't die! You'll only sacrifice your own lives in vain and make me feel distressed!"

  "Alas... what a pity!" Qian Xiaodou said with a distressed expression: "I wish I could sacrifice myself to make you feel sad and cry for me, but unfortunately, good people don't live long, while this scourge will last for thousands of years... Ha ha ha..."

  "I'm so frustrated!" Bai Xiaofei turned her head, accelerated the flying sword, and gritted her small silver teeth, shouting: "I won't talk to you anymore, you annoying guy!"

  They arrived at Taishan - the Tian Dao Alliance Trading Conference, where Bai Xiaofei immediately ditched him and went to collect equipment that his sister disciples could use.

  With such a stunning beauty appearing, it goes without saying that one doesn't need to go up and strike up a conversation with her - how many men are there in this sea of people!

  Qian Xiaodou felt extremely uncomfortable thinking: If he were to marry such a wife in the future, it would be too unreliable to leave her at home. However, it seemed that he himself didn't have much chance either. Never mind, just go with the flow then.

  However, Qian Xiaodou thought so, and in his heart, he also faded her shadow a lot. When he saw this scene, he woke up a bit, maybe he just needed someone to think about on the dry road of cultivating immortality.

  A person was walking quietly when suddenly a small fist came down and heard a girl's scream:

  "You big idiot, Little Dou, on such a lively day, how can you go out without wearing a mask? You're going to suffocate those fools on the street! Get back in here!"

  He was dragged into the store by Lan Xiao, only to discover that there were indeed many beautiful women staring at him with wide eyes. He couldn't help but smile and think: Maybe I'm a good guy too? With a flourish of his sleeve, he turned around and entered the bustling store, just in time to hear a chorus of screams behind him...

  Bai Xiaofei knew the address of Qian Xiaodou's shop, but didn't rush to take a look. After lunch, she first collected the magical instruments, treasures, materials, skills, elixirs and other things that her senior sisters urgently needed, including the Huanyang Spring Water that Shuang Shijie dreamed of getting even in her sleep!

  Thinking of the days, Bai Xiaofei felt a pang of sorrow in her heart. She was originally a descendant of the gods, and from the Qi Refining stage to the Tian Ren stage, she had all the necessary items for cultivation, even more than enough. However, after that goddess aunt left, she couldn't bear the loneliness and the nightmares every night, so she resolutely joined the Dao Yue Shifu's sect, which had the most female disciples on Jiuhua Mountain!

  Originally living with a group of fellow sisters for a hundred years, and recovering to her usual cheerful self, she suddenly discovered that the people around her were becoming fewer and fewer. Investigating the reason, it turned out that they had not advanced in their dan medicine - they had died!

  It's simply a joke in the eyes of her fairy descendant, Bai Xiaofei. The people who have been with her for hundreds of years, treating each other like sisters and brothers every day, actually died just because they didn't have any elixirs? How ridiculous is that?!

  Bai Xiaofei immediately took out many of his own surplus pills and distributed them to his fellow female disciples, but unexpectedly this one move led to an unstoppable chain reaction!

  Many senior sisters from then on pinned their hopes on themselves, at first it was nothing, but later on, all the extra elixirs were used up, even the spiritual elixir needed for her own breakthrough and advancement were given to the master, what to do next——she herself didn't know!

  Wealth never lasts more than three generations, despite her exceptional talent and wealthy family background. However, after hundreds of years of extravagance, now she's truly a phoenix fallen to the state of being not even as good as a chicken. If it weren't for her fiancé who often supported her, she might have even run out of her own medicine!

  It's not over yet, and because of two masters who were good to me, I had to go through a heavenly tribulation, lending out two defensive spiritual treasures. Unexpectedly, both people died without even leaving behind any remnants, let alone the spiritual treasures that I destroyed!

  Her fiancé was really something, he had lost two spiritual treasures for her, and he was afraid that she would be heartbroken, so he helped her make up for the loss with two more spiritual treasures. Although they were not defensive spiritual treasures, they were still valuable. Thinking about it, a man who could absolutely succeed, a man she liked, being so good to her, Bai Xiaofei's heart was filled with sweetness and happiness!

  And she came here, still playing the role of a prodigal daughter-in-law, selling all the materials she had accumulated and beaten over the years to the large shops of the Jiuhua Mountain sect, taking 40,000 spirit stones, first replenishing the elixirs used for her cultivation along the way, so as not to trouble her fiancé in the future, he wouldn't like her anymore~

  Then, with the remaining 20,000 spirit stones, she wandered around, asking about prices from door to door. She hummed, looking at her silly and innocent appearance, who wouldn't take advantage of her? She even used a small notebook to record the prices. After inquiring around, she didn't lower the price, but directly went to the cheapest store to buy it back!

  But the law treasure, the law instrument is not good, basically every refining master's handwriting and aesthetic vision are different, she encounters the one that suits her taste, she has to buy it directly, White Xiaofei, who knows being slaughtered by others, thinks of Qian Xiaodou, a guy who doesn't eat losses, hum ~ this bad person, says he's preparing lunch for me, just knowing how to eat, and not saying help me bargain the price, I'm here with you, it's to let you play the role of a merchant to help me!

  "Hmm, I think I didn't give him a chance either. After all, I'm a married woman now, even if it's not official yet. Walking shoulder to shoulder with another man in the market could lead to rumors, and besides, Ao Tian seems to dislike me interacting with other men. He hasn't said anything, nor has he shown any dissatisfaction on his face, but a woman's intuition still allows me to sense it a bit. After all, I haven't lived for hundreds of years for nothing; I do have some judgmental abilities!"

  After walking halfway down the street, Bai Xiaofei himself admitted that women's shopping was extremely terrifying. He had saved for several hundred years, a total of more than 40,000 spirit stones. More than 20,000 were used by himself, and more than 20,000 spirit stones were spent on buying a small pile of items from his master sisters. Everyone got a share. After leaving the store, Bai Xiaofei's cute face looked at the 5,200 spirit stones in his storage ring, and his legs didn't dare to move!

  Ah~ Suddenly! Bai Xiaofei's face turned pale again as she thought of the Huayang Spring water that Shuang Shijie wanted. She asked around with a stuffy head, and her heart ached at the thought that 3,000 spirit stones could only get one bottle, which would only last for 100 years. What a waste! No wonder most cultivators in the world looked so old! Alas~ After buying it, I'm left with only my pitiful 2,000+ small spirit stones!

  "Ah~ 500 million ah! It's still the top-grade spirit stone thing!" Bai Xiaofei was wandering around with a lost expression when he suddenly heard a young Daoist's sharp cry from the front. He looked up to see that it was the small vendor area! The last stall was actually surrounded by a thick layer of people!

  Alas, what's the point of wanting 500 million top-grade spirit stones? Even if you had 5 billion top-grade spirit stones, it would have no relation to me, Bai Xiaofei, who only has a little over 2,000 small spirit stones left. Sister is leaving, and my pride is hurt~

  "Jiutian Duanxu Gao! Jiutian Duanxu Gao! Jiutian Duanxu Gao......" Suddenly! A cry of surprise completely overturned the calmness in Bai Xiaofei's heart, opening up her sealed memories!

  What did they say? Jiutian Duanxu Gao? Is it the Jiutian Duanxu Gao that can cure all external injuries and regrow severed limbs?

  The most important thing is to be good, the most considerate for hundreds of years, using life to protect oneself - Wu Shijie! The person I haven't dared to think about in these years, are you okay? That silly Wu Shijie, why did she risk her life to guard me?!

  Thinking of Wu Shijie, who had been bedridden for nearly a hundred years, with both legs disabled and unable to exert any strength in her hands, needing others to feed her, and still smiling foolishly to comfort herself that everything was fine, Bai Xiaofei burst into tears - tears streaming down her face!
