Sacred Phoenix

PAK—!

The sound of a beast core gently resting beside another beast core echoed. Lifting his hand and placing it on his knee, Li Chen, who was in a squatting posture, stared at the ethereal beauty.

She sat in the midst of a circle formed by beast cores and absorbed their fiery energy to stabilize herself. 

Li Chen's eyes cruised her trembling, long lashes down and back up. 'Dream, your standards are outrageously good.' he praised, examining the flawless beauty.

She was truly without flaws.

All of a sudden, Xiu Ying's eyelids went up, revealing her mesmerizing golden eyes fixed on him.

Silence reigned for a couple seconds as they stared into each other's eyes, frozen still.

"Funny, you seem to have outgrown your lecherous life." 

Li Chen blinked and stood up. He approached, his sword resting against the wall and grabbed it. 

[Isn't that a good thing?]
