Chapter 68: Practice Until Dawn

After bathing, Bai Xifeng felt refreshed. Xiao Li wanted to help her to get dressed but she refused. It was not like she was wearing a complicated dress or anything like that.

After getting dressed, she went out and sat at the table. The dishes she brought back earlier had been served on the table.

"Sit down. I brought back these dishes for you." Bai Xifeng asked Xiao Li to sit down with her when she saw Xiao Li still standing up.

Xiao Li sat down. Bai Xifeng put the food in Xiao Li's bowl. Since she was already full, she just ate a bit. If she did not eat them, Xiao Li probably would not eat them either.

While they were eating, Bai Xifeng could hear the noise from far away.

"Is something happening tonight?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Well, they are having a big dinner tonight." Xiao Li said.

"For what?" Bai Xifeng asked again.

"The third branch family, your uncle, Third Master Zihao returned home after going to his in-law's house for a few days." Xiao Li explained.

"Oh..." Bai Xifeng did not show much emotion toward the news.

"Young Miss, don't be sad." Xiao Li said.

"Huh? Sad? Why do I feel sad?" Bai Xifeng did not understand why Xiao Li suddenly said that.

"Young Miss always wants to join them but they always do not allow you to join them. You longed to join them." Xiao Li uttered.

"Oh, that... I don't care anymore. They can party all night. Neither I care about that." Bai Xifeng waved her hand.

Bai Xifeng did not want to waste time thinking about those unimportant people like that. It was better to think about refining the pill or elixir.

"You can finish this. I want to go to my room. Don't disturb me if you don't have any important matters." Bai Xifeng stood up and entered her room.

Baishe manifested himself as a small python.

"I want to practice my alchemy for third-grade pills too." Bai Xifeng stated.

"Sure. I will supervise you." Baishe nodded.

So, Bai Xifeng began to practice her alchemy until dawn. She failed many times wasting a lot of herbs. She cried a lot whenever she faced failure. It was a waste of money. Finally, she succeeds in making the third-rank pill.

"Baishe, I finally succeed." Bai Xifeng was happy.

She ran toward Baishe to show the third-grade pill that she just finished making. Baishe looked at the pill. She successfully made about ten pills in one go. He did not know what to say. Not many alchemists could do something like this.

"Oh, I want to sleep. I am sleeping." Bai Xifeng stated as she went to her bed and immediately fell asleep.

Baishe changed into earing again.

Xiao Li knocked on the door to wake up her young miss. But no matter how strongly she knocked on the door, her young miss still did not wake up from the noise. She could not help but enter the room directly.

Once she stepped into the room, she was shocked by the state of the room. It was so messy. She also saw a cauldron in the corner of the room.

'Does Young Miss play cooking last night?' Xiao Li thought. Without any complaint, she cleaned all of the mess.

Bai Xifeng woke up when she heard the sounds around her. She saw Xiao Li when she opened her eyes, cleaning the mess that she made last night. Due to fatigue, she went to sleep without cleaning up.

"Xiao Li?" Bai Xifeng called Xiao Li.

"Oh, young miss. You are awake." Xiao Li finally finished cleaning up the mess.

"I am sorry for making this mess." Bai Xifeng stated.

"Huh? Why are you suddenly apologising for me doing my work?" Xiao Li was confused.

Xiao Li may not understand but Bai Xifeng was a person who grew up in the orphanage. She grew up with the mindset that she needed to take care of everything by herself, not to expect help from others.

"Never mind. I sleep late last night." Bai Xifeng yawned.

"I know because I heard the sound come out of your room at dawn." Xiao Li stated.

"What is for breakfast?" Bai Xifeng asked when she heard the growling from her stomach. It was probably because she used too much energy from doing alchemy last night.

"Just wontons and dumplings." Xiao Li said.

"Sound nice. I will go and wash my face." Bai Xifeng got out of bed.

"Young Miss, just wait here. I will bring the water for you." Xiao Li said.

"No need for that. I will go and get it by myself. It is much more faster. You can go and serve the food. I will eat outside as usual." Bai Xifeng stated before running out.

Xiao Li did not have time to stop her young miss. She sighed seeing her young miss changed so much. She was not a spoiler young miss in the past but she was also not like this too.

However, she did not say she was not happy with the change. Her young miss looked much freer and stronger. It would help her young miss in future if she was like this.

She was just hoping that her young miss would live happily. Not being restrained by Bai Family. She could see that her young miss already lost hope of depend on Bai Family to stay alive.
