A small spark appeared as if responding to her touch. A voice inside her soul urged her to put the robes on.
She turned around and glanced at Quijie. A light flashed across his pink eyes. He turned around and walked away slowly.
When Shi Rong was sure he was gone she slipped her luxurious red robes down her body. Her white jade skin glowed in the sunlight. She slipped the blood red robes over her body. The robes instantly clung to her skin as if it was trying to fuse with his body.
Shi Rong spun around analyzing the robes. The gold embroidery appeared to dance with every turn. She noticed the twelve beasts transformed from their beast forms into human forms with every turn.
She gasped at the small stitching and turned her head to glance at the back, a large golden dragon was painted on the back. She smelled the scent of fabric burning.
Shi Rong immediately looked down at the her sleeve to notice the words "My Wife" burn into the sleeve immediately turning black.
She wrinkled her brows and proceeded to try to take the robes off. With every pull she felt her skin tug for the robes have really fused to her body!
Quijie returned with a wide grin. His grey robes and ponytail swayed as he walked towards Shi Rong.
"My lady that outfit most certainly suits you." Quijie bowed slightly.
The robes gave Shi Rong the appearance of overbearing strength and power and enabled a majestic aura making her seem otherworldly.
Shi Rong held her chin high. "Thank You Quijie."
She glanced around the large courtyard covered in statues and beautifully colored flowers. The columns where a bright white color that spiraled into the white pillars above.
"There's no other door?" She turned towards Quijie with a questioningly look.
"A new door appears when you form a contract with another Heavenly Divine Beasts leading to a new area." Quijie walked around the courtyard then disappeared into a corner.
His voice echoed through the courtyard. "The Heavenly Pavilion is located in the deepest parts of your soul which you have access to at any moment however…...I am unfortunately able to leave without a human body to use in that world, so dear master I require your assistance with my problem."
Shi Rong closed her eyes and opened them once more. The beautiful courtyard she was standing in was now gone. The wind roared and howled as the sand danced along the current. The overwhelming heat cascaded down onto her body.
She held up the naginata as it glistened in the light with a light smile on her face.
