In the outside world, Lanyin was elegantly seated next to the huge cauldron.
In her delicate hands, she held a golden-covered book, her beautiful blood-red eyes focused on the white pages.
Suddenly, she raised her face.
The cauldron glowed an intense gold. Two figures emerged from within: a man and a woman, both of transcendental beauty.
Lanyin closed the book and stood up, walking towards the two. Her fluffy black tail accompanied the gentle roll of her hips.
"Were you able to receive the blessing?" she asked, slightly disappointed.
It had taken them more than four days to return. She had expected Qingyi and Qianyao to reach the matriarch much more quickly.
Little did she know that they reached the matriarch in a few hours, despite only returning days later.
"Yes, Senior Lanyin," Qingyi replied, clenching his fists and bowing to the fox woman.
Her eyes studied him for a moment longer before turning away.
