Mistress Xuan Yi, the Three Thousand Burning Flame

Starfall Pavilion, reception hall.

"Say, Xuan Yi, why don't you come back another time? Brother Chen is still in seclusion, and I'm afraid he won't be coming out anytime soon," Feng Xian said, forcing a smile.

Across from him sat a beautiful woman with a graceful figure and dignified bearing.

She wore a long purple-and-white dress. Tall and voluptuous, she had gentle features and lightly tinted lips, and a faint fragrance of medicinal pills lingered around her.
