His Phoenix Taming The beast

Taming The beast

In A dark, ritualistic chamber

Zhan lies shirtless on a surgical table, his muscles tense.

Green symbols flicker on the walls.

Lin Shuyan stands beside him, holding a jade comb with yellow embroidery

Zhan Tianlei

"𝚋𝚎𝚐𝚒𝚗"

Lin hesitates briefly before reciting a Latin spell

Lin Shunyan/ Tianlei’s right hand

“Exspiravit Ignis, animae vinculum. Aperi Portam ad abyssum”

A violent wind swirls around Zhan as his soul is pulled out of his body into a fiery void,

He opens his eyes to find himself before a massive, grotesque beast—a six-legged, fanged tiger with black fur and molten Gold eyes.

Beast

Its roar shakes the realm.

Beast

**mockingly** “Ah, Zhan Tianlei.”

Beast

“Back again? You’re like a mosquito—annoying and easily squashed”

Zhan Tianlei

“Tame me?”

“You couldn’t tame a stray dog”
