She calmly stopped at the foot of the mountain, staring at it. She jumped down from her horse and tied it to a tree since the path is too narrow to go on with her horse.
"Be patient and wait for me to return". She said rubbing the horse head. It neighed as if it understood her.
"That's my good night". She smiled before calmly preparing to face the unknown.
"Master, you can let me out to assist you and also to lead the way". Feng Huang suggested.
"Sure, why don't you just say you want to come out of the space Feng". Yanmei teased him. She let him out though since she was feeling weak and his suggestion seems pretty good.
"Feels good to be out". Huang stretched his arms.
"Well if you are through stretching let's start moving, it's getting dark and we've to find shelter".
"Yes master". They both entered the forest walking side by side.
"this mountain doesn't look that scary afterall, I was expecting to see some scary looking monsters or beast but I guess I'm not having any action". Yanmei sighed disappointed.
"I think it's better this way, you don't use your powers preventing your days getting shorter". Feng Huang replied. "Besides, don't expect to see any beast or monsters, they are scared of me". He said proudly.
"Pfft... What is there to be scared of? You are just a big lizard" She laughed intentionally making fun of him.
"Master,how dare you call this great Lord a lizard! After all we have been through" Feng Huang said indignantly, feigning tears.
Yanmei was speechless as she stared at this dragon even faking tears. She wanted to laugh when she suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell if not for Feng Huang quickly holding her firmly.
"We need to hurry up master".
"Don't worry I won't die yet,I've gone through too much to just die here" issue cleaned the trail of blood at the corner of her mouth.
They decided to start moving quickly because it would take them five days before they coluld reach the last ingredient they've need. Surprisingly, wherever they passed it was as if the creatures where purposely avoiding them.
"That's sad I was looking forward to having a little battle, don't you think this journey is going s little bit too smoothly". Yanmei lamented. She was looking forward to sparring with some new monsters and testing her skills but it seems they were all avoiding them probably because of Feng Huang aura. Thinking about this she glared at him. Feng Huang touched his nose and acted ignorant.of course he knew what his crazy master was planning but his job was to make sure she doesn't use her powers and keep her from harm.
Soon they walked into a dark area. It looks and feels more eerie than the rest places.it was as if something sinister was watching them carefully. In fact they couldn't hear anything except their own heartbeat.
"Finally, a challenge" She said excitedly but just when she was about to make a move, Feng Huang stopped her and gesture for her to be silent. He quickly dragged her away and immediately an arrow stroke where she was standing before.
"I thought she was standing here" six people on black came out, looking at where she was before.
" Check around, she has definitely not gone far and is still here". A woman walked out from the group. On seeing the woman she instantly recognized who she was.
" Well well well, looks like I'm definitely going to have some fun here" she said smirking as she looked at them already anticipating the fight.
