This intense battle of one dragon against two phoenixes lasted for nearly three hours before it finally subsided.
It wasn't until Bai Ran and Lv Xin were utterly exhausted, their skin flushed pink and thoroughly satisfied, that they began to plead for mercy, prompting Sun Zhe to finally call a ceasefire.
After their ordeal, the two women clung to each other and fell into a deep sleep on the hay that had been laid out.
Sun Zhe added a few more logs to the bonfire, then sat cross-legged beside the women. He began to circulate his energy to absorb the Yin Essence he had gained from the battle. Only after he had suppressed the rampaging Ice and Fire True Qi within his body did he lie down to sleep.
「The next morning.」
Sun Zhe woke leisurely to find the two women squatting by the bonfire, grilling fish.
"Where did you two get fish?"
Lv Xin pointed into the distance. "There's a small creek over there, and it's teeming with them."
