The Rising Phoenix-Chapter 137: Check Shen Shoushan’s Wife

The storekeeper snapped out of the thought.

"I am sorry. Yeah, I do have the table. Let me show it to you." The storekeeper nodded.

He then called a waiter to show Bai Xifeng and others a table. The waiter seated them down at the table that they requested.

"Give the famous Peking duck dishes and a few dishes that you can recommend. And good wine too." Bai Xifeng placed some orders.

The waiter recommended a few dishes to Bai Xifeng. Bai Xifeng nodded. She gave some tips to the waiter. The waiter smiled as he saw Bai Xifeng give some money to him. He thanked Bai Xifeng and left for the kitchen.

"Master, how many days will we stay here?" Yu Nianzu asked.

"Hmm... Probably 2 to 3 days at least. We need to fully rest before going back on the road." Bai Xifeng said.

She did not plan to stay longer in one place. She liked to travel to other places to try their signature dishes.

"You may go anywhere if you want." Bai Xifeng added.

She did not want her subordinates to feel stuck. They also could enjoy their lives. No need to just follow her order all the time.

The dishes came after a while. The table was full.

"Let’s eat them." Bai Xifeng said.

Bai Xifeng started eating followed by Xiao Li, and Yu’s Siblings. They were talking about the incident that happened a few days ago. After they recovered a bit, Bai Xifeng talked to them about how they could return to General Bai’s Residence to wait for her to return home.

Four of them refused to leave Bai Xifeng. They wanted to stick to Bai Xifeng even though they knew it would be dangerous. They should stick with Bai Xifeng. If they returned to General Bai Residence, there would be no one to protect them from people inside General Bai Residence.

They were having fun eating the dishes until some people started a fight.

"You are the cause of my wife becoming like that." A man shouted in anger.

"Ha! It is certainly not my fault. She is the one who jumped to cover you. It is your fault, Shen Shoushan." The man who was arguing talked back to Shen Shoushan.

"If not because of you, my wife, Ren Liqiu would not be unconscious like that. Fu Xiaobo, I will make you pay for this." Shen Shoushan said.

The man with the name Fu Xiaobo just laughed without care. Shen Shoushan became irritated when Fu Xiaobo laughed like that when it was his fault. He started to fight with Fu Xiaobo.

However, it seemed Fu Xiaobo was stronger than Shen Shoushan. Shen Shoushan fell breaking the table.

"Shen Shoushan, you better don’t annoy me anymore. Otherwise, I can not help but kill you." Fu Xiaobo warned Shen Shoushan before leaving the restaurant.

Shen Shoushan stood up properly. He swore that he would make him pay for what Fu Xiaobo had done. But right now, he needed to find a pharmacist to cure his wife.

All of the pharmacists who came to look at her wife’s condition just shook their heads telling him that they did not have any idea why his wife became like that. He already did not know what to do. And then he saw Fu Xiaobo. After the incident, only Fu Xiaobo managed to live without any problem.

So, when he saw him being happy like that, he became angry. The culprit was alive and living a good life meanwhile he and his wife were not happy at all.

Bai Xifeng became the onlooker who watching the drama. She did not fully understand the situation nor did she want to get involved in the situation.

After paying for the food, they all left the restaurant. Having a good-looking face did attract a lot of attention. Bai Xifeng wanted to check the pharmacy store that was available in the town.

"If you want to go somewhere else, you can go to the place you want." Bai Xifeng said.

"I want to follow you, Young Master." Xiao Li answered quickly.

"Hmm... It is better to stick together." Yu Xiaohui said.

"Oh?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Yes." Yu Nianzu nodded.

So, five of them walked together. Bai Xifeng went to find the pharmacy store. They entered the store. It seemed the same man, Shen Shoushan was also here.

Shen Shoushan was kneeling to the storekeeper asking him for someone. Well, it was not like Bai Xifeng wanted to listen to what they were saying. But they technically were loud. So, others who entered the store could listen to their conversation.

"Please, can you do something about my wife?" Shen Shoushan begged the storekeeper.

"Pharmacist Su Jinhai already check your wife’s condition. He can not do anything about your wife." The storekeeper said.

"But..." Shen Shoushan wanted to say more but the storekeeper stopped him.

"Sir Shen, please leave. You are blocking my business. If you insist on staying like this, I will ask someone to drag you out. Your reputation will be going down." The storekeeper threatened Shen Shoushan.

"But..." Shen Shoushan wanted to say something but Bai Xifeng said something to Shen Shoushan.

"Can I look at your wife’s condition?" Bai Xifeng said.

Shen Shoushan looked at the voice’s owner. It was just a young man... A very young man.

"Are you a pharmacist?" Shen Shoushan asked.

"Hmm... You can say so." Bai Xifeng stated.

"Young man, I suggest that you should not waste your time." The storekeeper advised Bai Xifeng.

"Hmm... It is okay. I am free." Bai Xifeng had a carefree smile on her face.

She gave a list of herbs that she wanted to the storekeeper. She needed to restock the herbs since she had used the herbs a lot at Sophia Mountain.

"Prepare this amount of herbs in two days. I will come and collect them later. Here is the deposit first." Bai Xifeng stated.

The storekeeper smiled when he saw the money. The list of the herbs that this customer wanted were not the rare herbs. Some of them were normal herbs that were used daily.

"Sure, Young Master. I will prepare you. May I know your name?" The storekeeper wanted to get to know about her.

"Just under them under Long Feng’s name." Bai Xifeng said.

"Okay... Young master Long." The storekeeper said.

"Let’s go." Bai Xifeng said to Shen Shoushan. "To see your wife."

When Shoushan thought this young man was joking with him about seeing his wife.

"Why are you daze off like that?" Bai Xifeng asked again.

"Oh... Let’s go." Shen Shoushan snapped back to reality.

So, they walked out of the store and went to Shen Shoushan’s house. They stopped in front of quite a big house.

It seemed this Shen Shoushan came from a rich family. They entered the house. The servants greeted Shen Shoushan as a young master.

Shen Shoushan led them to one courtyard. They entered the room.

"Nianzu, Xiao Li, stay here. Xiaohui, Xiaoqing, follow me." Bai Xifeng stated.

"Young master Long, this is my wife." Shen Shoushan showed Bai Xifeng his wife.

A woman was unconscious on the bed. If not because Bai Xifeng saw she was breathing, Bai Xifeng might think she had already died. She looked so pale and so skinny.

"How long she had been in this condition?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Almost one month." Shen Shoushan stated.

"Do you feed her something?" Bai Xifeng asked again.

"I did but there is no change at all." Shen Shoushan said.

Bai Xifeng took Shen Shoushan’s wife’s hand and read her pulse. Bai Xifeng frowned. Something was weird.

There was something inside Ren Liqiu’s body that was currently eating her spiritual life. The spiritual life was something that made people alive. Without that, someone would die.

"What happened before she became like this?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"We went to Sophia Mountain with someone else. Then, we stumbled upon a swamp. It was like a normal swamp. Then, suddenly there was a winged crocodile appeared. We fight it.

The other party pulled my wife into the swamp during the fight. She seemed to be okay when she climbed out of the swamp.

However, after one week, she fainted and did not wake up anymore." Shen Shoushan told the story to Bai Xifeng.

Bai Xifeng suspected it was something from the swamp that entered Ren Liqiu’s body and started to have a feast by itself.
