If the pill and elixir worked on the beast’s body too, Bai Xifeng would give them to Baihu as well.
The night came. Bai Xifeng told Xiao Li if she heard something, she did not need to come out of her room.
After Bai Xifeng explained to Xiao Li about her poison, Xiao Li understood. Her young miss would go under treatment. She could not barge in and disturb the treatment process.
She even offered herself to help Bai Xifeng. But Bai Xifeng said she did not need her to help her. Bai Xifeng could handle it by herself.
Bai Xifeng drank the elixir that she had made yesterday. At first, she could feel the cool sensation pass through into her stomach.
After that, she could feel the sharp pain. She could not help but let her voice out.
"Ah!" Bai Xifeng shouted.
Then, the torture began. The pain was intense. She shouted.
Xiao Li who was sitting outside her young miss’s room with Baihu looked worried. She wanted to barge in, but she remembered her young miss’s warning that she should not disturb the treatment.
Otherwise, something bad would happen. Xiao Li could only wait until the treatment was done.
Baihu looked at the door. He wanted to go inside. But he remembered the warning.
If he disturbed her during this time, she threatened him that she would go and throw him away. He did not want that to happen. So, he could wait obediently.
Bai Xifeng was still shouting, trying to stand against the pain through all parts of the body.
The force was much stronger compared to the last time. Her body was sweating like she was generating water.
"It will be over soon. Keep fighting." Baishe’s voice supported Bai Xifeng.
The dawn arrived. It was finally over. Bai Xifeng was relieved that the torture was finally over. Right now, she did not have any energy.
She went to sleep. She just wanted to rest right now.
Baishe stared at the sleeping Bai Xifeng. Baishe admired Bai Xifeng’s strong will. Not everyone could stand the pain.
He wondered about how Bai Xifeng lived before which made Bai Xifeng so strong-willed.
Bai Xifeng fell asleep as she was tired of enduring the pain. She woke up after sleeping for three hours.
She could see her body feeling better. She checked her body and found out that her cultivation had reached a high rank Establishing Foundation.
"Baishe, my cultivation advanced again." Bai Xifeng said.
"Hmm... I can see it." Baishe responded.
Her stomach gave a protest to Bai Xifeng.
"I want to eat." Bai Xifeng said.
She got out of her room.
"Young Miss." Xiao Li shouted.
Baihu jumped into Bai Xifeng’s arms.
"What are you guys doing sitting in front of my room?" Bai Xifeng asked.
"Well, you were shouting. I was so worried about you. But I know I cannot get in. So, I was waiting here." Xiao Li explained.
Bai Xifeng smiled. "Thank you. By the way, can you please prepare some food? I am hungry."
"I will be right back." Xiao Li rushed to the kitchen.
Baihu rubbed his head against Bai Xifeng’s chest.
"You were worried about me too? Thank you... But I am fine now." Bai Xifeng touched Baihu’s nose.
Bai Xifeng took out a Scarlet Gathering Qi Pill and gave it to Baihu. Baihu was very happy to see the pill. He immediately ate it.
"You will get this pill once a day." Bai Xifeng said.
Baihu nodded as he licked Bai Xifeng’s hand.
....
Today is the auction day at Shanghai Pavilion. Of course, Bai Xifeng wanted to go over there.
There was something that she wanted to buy. She already looked at the list of the items that would be auctioned. It was an ingredient that she needed for detoxifying her poison.
Si Ji Huang already gave a token for her to enter the auction. She changed her clothes to male clothes and also changed her face.
"I will go out tonight." Bai Xifeng informed Xiao Li.
Xiao Li was not surprised anymore hearing Bai Xifeng’s voice with a male face. Baihu looked several times over and over at Bai Xifeng’s face.
When he saw Bai Xifeng was going out, he bit Bai Xifeng’s clothes. He wanted to follow Bai Xifeng too.
"Hmm... I cannot bring you out. It is dangerous." Bai Xifeng stated.
If she brought Baihu out, people could covet him and try to snatch him from her. Not to mention, he was not in contact with her. People might snatch and try to get him to be their contracted beast.
"You can put him into the mirror world," Baishe suggested.
"I can bring you out too, but you need to stay in that place and cannot get out of the place." Bai Xifeng said to Baihu.
Baihu nodded. He did not want to stay at this place without her.
"Okay... I will bring you out." Bai Xifeng put Baihu inside the mirror world.
