Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Did Not Give Up

Baishe did not know what Bai Xifeng meant by that. Well, he did not interfere with her life. She could do whatever she wanted.

Bai Xifeng’s stomach was finally making a sound indicating that she was hungry. She wanted to eat. Well, she decided to go to the kitchen. She met several soldiers on the way.

The soldiers’ attitude toward Bai Xifeng had changed since they knew about the pill. They found out about her being an alchemist and that she was the one who made the pill for all of them. They were grateful to her. Because of her, they could increase their strength when eating the pills.

When they passed her, they would bow before going on their way. At first, she was quite surprised about this behavior. However, after a while, she did not mind anymore.

Bai Xifeng arrived at the kitchen. When she entered the kitchen, she saw a familiar face. It was Xiao Li

"Young Master." Xiao Li went to greet Bai Xifeng.

It had been a while since she met with her young miss. She missed her young miss. She checked on her young miss. It seemed her young miss lost her weight.

"Young Master, do you eat properly?" Xiao Li asked.

"Huh? Well, yes." Bai Xifeng nodded.

"But you look slimmer compared to before." Xiao Li sighed.

Bai Xifeng felt she was eating properly. Well, she did use a lot of energy to make the pills. That was probably why she looked slimmer than before.

"I will make something for you. Sit down here." Xiao Li said.

She pulled Bai Xifeng and made her sit on the chair. Xiao Li began to move her hand making something for Bai Xifeng. It had been a while since Bai Xifeng watched Xiao Li cook. It was a quite pleasant scene to watch. After a few, Xiao Li served three dishes for Bai Xifeng.

"Young Master, eat this." Xiao Li said.

"It has been a while long since I eat in front of you." Bai Xifeng laughed.

"You can come here if you want that." Xiao Li said.

"Hmm... I will." Bai Xifeng nodded.

Bai Xifeng started to eat. Xiao Li looked at her young miss. It seemed her young miss looked so relaxed and happy here compared to when they were at General Bai Residence. Well, she knew how her young miss got bullied by those people at General Bai Residence.

Two days after Bai Xifeng brought Xiao Li come to the military camp, Bai Tingfeng came to see Xiao Li. He personally thanked Xiao Li for taking care of Bai Xifeng and did not leave Bai Xifeng’s side.

Then, yesterday, General Bai Xiang himself came over to see Xiao Li too. He also said the same thing as Bai Tingfeng. She was glad that her young miss’s family did not forget about her young miss at all. They were always remembering her. It was just that the work stood on their way to come home.

It was good for her young miss to decide to run away from home. Even though her young miss was disguised as a man. It was better than suffering the abuse at the General Bai Residence.

After eating, Bai Xifeng thanked Xiao Li for the food. Then, she remembered something that she needed to do in the kitchen. Then Bai Xifeng started to ask Xiao Li about something.

"Xiao Li." Bai Xifeng called her.

"Yes, Young Master?" Xiao Li looked at Bai Xifeng as she waited for Bai Xifeng’s next sentence.

"Hmm... Does the kitchen have these ingredients in this list?" Bai Xifeng handed over the paper.

Xiao Li took the paper and read what was in the paper. There was a list of the ingredients, mostly for dessert and some of them were for wine making.

"Young master, what are you going to go with these ingredients?" Xiao Li asked.

"Something delicious?" Bai Xifeng grinned.

.....

Bai Xifeng was making a preparation for the day when she was going to make the Cold Soul Pill. For the past few days, she was in the kitchen making that preparation.

Bai Tingfeng was surprised to see her in the kitchen, not in the pill room. Today, she finished her preparation. However, she did not want to start making the pill right now.

Baishe told her to get a day’s rest. She needed a stable mind and body to make the pill successfully. Bai Xifeng agreed on that. After all, she would face the thundercloud again.

She told everyone that she did not want to be disturbed and stayed inside her room.

On the next day, Bai Xifeng went to the place where Bai Tingfeng advanced. She was planning to use this place because it was a spacious area. Bai Xifeng was followed by her three apprentices.

"Teacher Long, what are you going to do here?" Qin Heng asked.

"I am going to make a pill." Bai Xifeng answered.

"Huh? If you are going to make a pill, why don’t you use the pill room instead?" Shao Chen stated.

"Yeah... And why is this place?" Liu Zixin asked.

"Well, it is because it is dangerous..." Bai Xifeng did not know how to explain to them.

"Dangerous? How could it be?" Qin Heng was shocked.

"Well... I already made safety measures about that. You don’t need to worry about that." Bai Xifeng grinned.

Bai Xifeng told them to stay far from her and her cauldron. After that, she called Gryffindor. She wanted to put on the array. People believed that it was Gryffindor’s skill. So, she wanted people to continue to believe that.

As Bai Xifeng’s order, Gryffindor acted like he was the one who cast the array. The array had been put. Bai Xifeng already achieved the fifth rank as array master. So, the array that she had cast was stronger than before.

However, she did not know if it was enough to stop the lightning. That was why she cast multiple arrays outside the array.

She, then, started the process of making the pill. First of all, she needed to prepare the Cold Soul Fruit before refining it inside the cauldron.

Bai Xifeng did not know that while she was casting the arrays, people started to gather around to see what was going on. Bai Tingfeng and Bai Xiang were among them.

Wu Pengfei was also there beside Qin Heng. His jaws almost dropped down because of the material that Bai Xifeng was holding right now.

"What? How did she have that?" Wu Pengfei was shocked.

"Why are you reacting like this?" Bai Xiang asked.

"My Lord, the thing that she holds right now is Cold Soul Fruit." Wu Pengfei stated.

Bai Xiang had the same reaction as Wu Pengfei when he heard the name of the thing. Even he knew about the fruit. It was a rare ingredient for alchemy. He wondered how her daughter obtained such a precious fruit.

He looked around. It seemed others did not know about the precious fruit. It was probably because they did not know what the Cold Soul Fruit looked like. If Wu Pengfei did not tell him about that, he would not have known about that either.

"It seems my daughter is going to make something amazing again." Bai Xiang looked proud.

"Father, why are you looking so proud?" Bai Tingfeng asked.

"Of course, I am feeling proud. It is my daughter." Bai Xiang smirked.

Bai Tingfeng did not want to say anything more. He would let his father feel that way. Well, he also felt the same. His sister was making something amazing again. He remembered the night when he sent food to his sister, his sister was excited about something. That must be it.

Bai Xifeng did not have any idea about the conversation that his family and Wu Pengfei having at the moment. She was totally focused on refining the Cold Soul Fruit.

It was her first attempt at refining the fruit. But it ended up failing. She was surprised. It was her first time failing on the first step. She smiled. No wonder Baishe told her the prescription of Cold Soul Pill was not easy to make.

Well, she could not give up now. She was determined to make this pill for her father. As for the Cold Soul Fruit, she did not need to worry about that. She had plenty of them. She could try several times until she succeed.
