'Looking for me?'
Meng Qingping watched with interest, but Chen Che was a little surprised.
'Haven't we already settled our business?'
'Could she be here to ask me to refine more pills for her?'
"Miss Meng, please!"
Not daring to mind her cold shoulder, Ding Fei bowed low, respectfully ushering Meng Qingxuan into the Pill Shop. He poured her a cup of fragrant tea and began to flatter her:
"Miss Meng, is that Fire Crane one of the ones you captured before the year's end? The Meng Family's methods are truly extraordinary! In just one short winter, you've managed to make the wild and untamable Fiery Flying Crane so well-behaved."

The Fire Crane was over seventeen feet tall.
Its entire body was a vivid red, its plumage like fire. It stood before the door with its wings folded, preening its feathers with docile grace. It remained perfectly still, unbothered by the stares of the crowd in the Market. Only when a Cultivator drew near would it glance over warily.
