Dragon's Dance

In the Heavenly Court's arena, open only to the Transient elites known as the 13 seats. Spacious enough to rival and claim itself as the biggest and grandest in all the realm, and yet this Arena would be used for training alone for if the 13 unleashed even an ounce of their true cultivation, the fate that awaited the arena would be none other than ruination.

The sound of scorching flames emblazoned in the entire arena as the two cultivators fought fire against fire.

Blue flames bathed Huang's blade, slashing the waves of fire sent in his direction. Each arc of his blade, done in a majestic form that made it seem like he danced to the tune of his foe's zither. A tune that evoked exhilaration with its fast paced rhythm but never losing its graceful melody.

The zither's rhythm heightened, the woman's slender fingers tenderly picked up the pace. The barrage of fire waves projected by the Zither followed the tune, sending out waves after waves that Huang parted in his majestic dragon sword art.

Be it a battle, the duo's performance fit the finest theater in all of the Heavenly Realm. Huang's sword forms, regal like a dragon while Lady Haozi's performance with the zither embodied melodic art. Closing off this breathtaking performance, ten of Haozi's fingers stroked the strings, sending forth a flaming phoenix flying to incinerate Huang. His smile unwavering, Huang better match his lover's closing note. Swirling his sword backwards, the blue flames around his blade vortexed and expanded. With one flawless thrust, Huang unleashed his [Dragon art: Rending Azure Dragon], the fire formed into a large dragon mighty enough to clash with Haozi's [Phoenix Takes Burning Flight]

Haozi swayed her long orange hair over her ear as Huang approached. Her robe, elegant in its whiteness as you would expect from another seat holder. Her eyes are orange, matching her famous bloodline of executioners. Her features, beautiful enough to attract the famous Long clan's heir.

"Your ability to play the Zither is as captivating as your beauty." Huang complimented his beloved.

"Such high praise from the dragon clan's successor. I shall take it."

"But that's not all I want you to take."

Huang's lips almost claimed Hoazi's but the orange haired woman blocked his kiss with her hand.

"Huang...not here."

A sigh of disappointment rolled from Huang's lips. If only Zhen was not here, perhaps Haozi could have given this kiss.

The Ice Empress arose from her seat.

"Why'd you stop him, Haozi? It's such a dazzling performance, it is only fit for the hero to kiss her heroine by the end of the play."

A lesbian Zhen might be, she still cheered for the happiness of her friends. As long as it is genuine and pure, love should be championed.

"Zhen, you know how shy Haozi gets. Please, stop teasing her." Huang said.

"Ah, the hero defends her heroine, how admirable." Zhen changed her target, approaching the two lover's on the arena. Due to having trained under the same master, Huang knew how how to deflect her teasing.

"How about your own heroine, didn't she send you on an important task?"

"Oh, brother Huang, you have to be more specific. I have more than one heroine."

No trace of bashfulness graces Zhen's demeanor, only a smile that spoke how proud she is of her harem. Another loss for Huang in the teasing battle.

"I give up, sister Zhen, you are shameless. Utterly so. Now, do you need assistance in your task to Wodan? It's been a while since I visited the realm of spirit beasts I can accompany you."

"And steal you away from Haozi? I think not. I already have someone I am planning to take with me to Wodan. I was simply passing by when I heard Haozi's beautiful melody."

"Then farewell, sister Zhen, it's not like those Divine beasts will be match to you but do be careful."

With that, Zhen bid the lovers adieu as she finished all her affairs in the court before heading out to finish the mission Guanyin laid for her.

Travelling through the boat traffic of the skies. Zhen's sword blitzed passed all of them. Her stop, a gaudy mansion in the heart of the city.

Landing in the front lawn, Zhen merely marched passed the guards that dared not stand in her way.

Silence reigned inside the mansion. The elegant golden decor mirrored the Hulijing's taste for extravagance.

"Da Ji, my beloved, show yourself!" Her hands rested behind her back, Zhen shouted.

"You come into my house and order me around? Tell me, Ice Empress, are you courting death?"

The alluring voice echoed from all over the Hulijing's domain. Not a trace of malice in its timbre despite Da Ji's words, it even bordered on coyness.

"Nay, I am courting you." Zhen answered. Her tone straight to the point.

Laughter rung from all around, Zhen never fails to entertain. Suddenly, sharp nails emerged from behind Zhen, the fox's claw charging to rend Zhen into pieces.

Solidifying the tip of her feet with ice, Zhen spun into a kick, countering the divine beast's sharper than steel claw.

The force of impact sent them apart, giving distance between.

"I'm afraid that's the same time, I'm a Hulijing, we bring nothing but ruin. Don't you see?" Nine of Da Ji's tails swayed behind her. Her hair, unbunned, her fox ears displayed along with her fiery beauty.

"Then I shall brave death just to be with you."

Zhen's words delighted Daji, all the more reason for her to charge into her direction and unleash a barrage of claw swipes!

Moving along the corridor of her mansion, Zhen's ice sword parried each and every one of her claws, their deadly exchange going faster than the wind!

"I bet you say that to every women!" Daji smirked, her claws moving left and right at extreme speed.

"Mayhaps, but that doesn't meant it isn't true. If I need to seek death to be with a foxian beauty like you, then consider my fate sealed." One hand behind her back, Zhen professed her devotion as the other blocked all of Daji's wild strikes with her ice sword. A true sword saint that only a few in the heavens could match.

"Caught you!"

So did Daji's tail sneakily wrapped around Zhen's ankle. In a split second Zhen could cut Da Ji's tails with ease or freeze it since it is in contact with her skin. But why should she? Zhen must prove she isn't all talk..

Pulled like a rug, Daji's tail yanked Zhen's ankle, causing her to tumble into the floor. The predator that she is, Daji pounced on top of her hapless prey. All of Zhen's limbs were pinned to the ground by Da Ji's fluffy tails.

Daji's slender thighs straddled Zhen, the razor sharp nail on Daji's thumb pressed upon Zhen's lips as the fox cupped Zhen's chin.

"You're in trouble now, Zhen, my dear. What do you have to say for yourself?"

Zhen smiled, staring straight into the Hulijing's slit beast eyes. As it's the only straight thing between the two of them.

"That I love you, Da Ji."

"Aaaaah!" Daji screamed in embarrassment, her head diving into Zhen's chest. "You play dirty, Zhen."

Zhen's innocent smile twisted into a lewd one.

"Oh, I can play even dirtier."
