The Legend of Shen Li (English Translation of Yu Feng Xing 与凤行)

Chapter 3

The courtyard was built really well, to the point that when Shen Li searched for a gap to hide in, she couldn't find so much of a crack!

Shen Li has never felt so frustrated or angry. She suddenly made a blood oath; If today, she gets made into chicken stew, she will degrade to a vengeful ghost and haunt heaven for 99 days and 99 nights to the point where they spit blood out of madness. 

If it wasn't more them, would she be in such a disgraceful situati-

Before Shen Li could finish her thoughts, an unbearable pain shot through her wings. 

What happened?!? 

Panicked, she twisted her head around to see that the commoner girl had clutched both of her wings, leaving her helpless!! Shen Li's legs ran madly, but alas, she was not free from the girl's painful grip.

"Such an unpleasant chick, won't you see how I deal with you!" The girl walked angrily to the kitchen, grabbing something.

Shen Li felt as if her bones were about to tear apart from pain! 

Bam! 

Shen Li was slammed onto the cutting board, the girl brandishing the knife above her. 

Suddenly, Shen Li felt the atmosphere between life and death, the one of a battle. She saw herself once again in the battle field, majestically brandishing her silver long spear. 

This feeling... had she really become so weak?

"Oh? What's happening, and why are you here?"

A male voice sounded. 

In this moment between life and death, Shen Li struggled to turn her head to stare at Xing Yun. The sun coiled around him, looking as if he was an angel, a merciful savior. 

But in that moment, the knife chopped down, blocking her view.

The girl raised her hands in a defensive posture, and blushed. 

"X-Xing Yun, uh I just wanted to see you, and wanted to make some stew with the plucked chicken. If the chicken isn't dead, it won't taste good in the stew."

Shen Li could not even move a claw, completely defenseless. In today's fight, she had drained all of her strength. 

She couldn't help but think- Today, she is dead.

"This chicken cannot be eaten." 

Shen Li was dragged into a pair of warm arms, the scent of medicinal herbs in the air. 

This smell is really quite good.

"Ah! I apologize... I just wanted to leave you something before I left." 

The girl twisted her fingers out of nervousness as she spoke in a trembling voice; 

"Tomorrow, I will be learning business in the far south with my father... I may not c-come back... I'II-I might never see Brother Xing again!

"Oh? You say you leave me, yet I have never even laid eyes on you." 

The male in question replied rather coldly. 

The girl's cheeks were red and eyes bloodshot as she cried. 

"No! I still saw you every day, looking from behind the walls! 

Everyday..." 

She looked so pitiful that even Shen li could almost not help but not blame her.

"Ah? Too sad, too sad. I have not once seen you before. "
