Soul Land: Phoenix & Tiger (A Rivals-to-Lovers Story)
Chapter 5: Midnight Attack?!
Behind him, Xiaotao slept soundly.
She always carried this wild, untamed energy, like a flame that never stopped burning. But now, she looked… peaceful.
DAI YUEHENG/DAI/ML
*Scoffed* (Only Ma Xiaotao would sleep like a rock after nearly getting her arm torn off.)
His eyes sharpened. Something moved outside.
DAI YUEHENG/DAI/ML
*Tensed* (Not the wolves again.)
He took a step forward, scanning the darkness. The trees swayed, shadows shifting—
And then, red eyes appeared.
DAI YUEHENG/DAI/ML
Shit...
DAI YUEHENG/DAI/ML
(A Night Phantom Beast.)
And it was already leaping toward the cave
Dai Yueheng moved instantly.
The beast slammed into his barrier, snarling
MA XIAOTAO/XIAOTAO/FL
*Stirred behind him* Mmm… what—?
DAI YUEHENG/DAI/ML
Stay down
MA XIAOTAO/XIAOTAO/FL
*Blinked blearily* The hell is—?
Then she saw it.
The massive beast, its dark fur shifting like smoke.
*Shot up* You woke me up for a puppy?
DAI YUEHENG/DAI/ML
*Gave her an ARE YOU SERIOUS look.* That ‘puppy’ just tried to rip my throat out
MA XIAOTAO/XIAOTAO/FL
*Grinned, stretching her arms.* Good. I was getting bored.
The Night Phantom vanished.
DAI YUEHENG/DAI/ML
*Cursed* It’s using stealth—!
🔥 Xiaotao moved before he could finish
MA XIAOTAO/XIAOTAO/FL
*Her flames flared, casting light over the cave* Let’s see you hide now.
The beast lunged at her from the side—
🔥 Fourth Spirit Ability: Phoenix Dance!
She twisted mid-air, flames spiraling around her as she kicked the beast’s side.
It skidded back, snarling.
Dai Yueheng didn’t hesitate—
⚡ Third Spirit Ability: White Tiger Vajra Transformation!
His muscles tensed, golden light erupting around him. In a blur, he rushed the beast, slashing with his claws.
The beast dodged—but Xiaotao was already there.
Her fist, covered in flames, slammed into its ribs.
DAI YUEHENG/DAI/ML
*Exhaled* Well. That was fun.
MA XIAOTAO/XIAOTAO/FL
*Stretched* Not bad, housecat.
DAI YUEHENG/DAI/ML
*Rolled his eyes* Don’t call me that
MA XIAOTAO/XIAOTAO/FL
*She smirked* I will if I want to
DAI YUEHENG/DAI/ML
*He sighed* You’re insufferable.
MA XIAOTAO/XIAOTAO/FL
And you’re an arrogant ass
They stared at each other.
MA XIAOTAO/XIAOTAO/FL
Maybe… fighting together wasn’t so bad.
DAI YUEHENG/DAI/ML
Maybe… fighting together wasn’t so bad.
