Since Little Phoenix was so persistent, there was nothing Feng Wu could say. She then looked at the horse.
The look on its face was complicated.
It didn’t speak and only gazed at Feng Wu with a serious look in its eyes. It seemed angry but expectant at the same time.
Feng Wu heaved a sigh. “You can go now.”
The horse looked frustrated as it stared at Feng Wu.
Feng Wu patted its head. “After all, we haven’t signed any contract yet, and I already owe you a lot from before. I can’t bring you any more danger. You can leave now. Be safe.”
The horse glared at Feng Wu. It was very pissed.
Little Phoenix stood on Feng Wu’s shoulder and said happily, “Look, you’re not even qualified to fight alongside Xiao Wu. You poor thing.”
Feng Wu threw a dirty look at Little Phoenix. Would this bird ever shut up?
The horse rolled its eyes at Little Phoenix, turned around, and dashed off.
Seeing that the horse really left, Little Phoenix was displeased once again. It told Feng Wu, “Look, it left its master at a critical moment. What kind of horse is that? I’m your most trustworthy ride!”
Feng Wu was rendered speechless by the bird.
The horse ran off.
It had no idea what it was angry about, nor did it have any idea why it felt so awful. It thought it was going to explode.
Before it went around a bend in the road, it turned around and saw Feng Wu and Little Phoenix digging up stones from the ground as they spoke together. It was quite a touching scene.
The horse bit its lip and watched.
That lousy bird wasn’t a good worker at all! It was so lazy! There were so many stones and it was picking them up one at a time. That would take forever! The horse couldn’t stop thinking about how it would handle the job. Hmph!
However, the human girl didn’t try to stop it. Tears welled up in the horse’s pretty eyes, and before it knew it, there was a wronged expression on its face.
Feng Wu didn’t see any of that. Right now, she was setting up a formation.
She didn’t think she could kill those people. All she wanted was to stay out of their sight so that she could make her breakthrough.
Soon, she found an underground cave a short distance away.
It was no bigger than ten square meters in size, and the opening was over 10 cm above ground.
Luckily, Feng Wu was petite. Anyone else wouldn’t be able to fit inside.
After setting up a concealment formation, Feng Wu picked up Little Phoenix and jumped into the cave.
Concealment was her forte, and she had wiped clean all her tracks before she entered the cave.
Almost as soon as she hid herself, she heard hasty footsteps.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
It was then followed by the clash of blades.
There was a giant rock over her head with a small opening that she had sealed up.
She didn’t have the energy to care about anything else right now.
To her, the most important thing now was her breakthrough.
Inside her, streaks of spiritual essence gathered into golden balls and dripped into her dantian.
The spiritual essence then escaped and flowed all over her body through her energy channels.
Feng Wu felt herself burning up, and she felt like she was being ironed out. Every part of her hurt.
