The pink flower was still enjoying the Sun's warm embrace when the sunshine suddenly intensified. The pink petals shivered as the once gentle breeze suddenly blew into a hurricane. A layer of dense Life Qi soon formed a protective layer around it. But the Chrysanthemum's gentle life aura could not hold out against the Sun's overbearing heat.
The surrounding plants wanted to help but their meager aid was of no use. The soft crown of pink petals was mercilessly penetrated by the long and vigorous strand of the Sun's Celestial Qi.
The pitiful flower trembled all the way down to its roots as the overbearing Sun Qi entered it. The sunshine continued to force its way in the very core of the plant, pistoning through its defenses. Due to the violent shaking, petals could be seen falling off the plant. This continued until only 12 petals were left of its lush crown.
The Immortal Chrysanthemum could only surrender to fate as more and more of the Sun's celestial qi entered its life core where all of its vitality was stored. The Celestial Qi and Life Qi interacted, forming a Qi nucleus that resembled a zygote. Immediately, a mix of Life and Celestial Qi erupted from the flower, dying its once pink petals bright yellow.
The Immortal Chrysanthemum continued its signature sway-in-place after the incident but if one inspected closely, one would notice that its aura had changed, like that of a young, innocent girl graduating into a mature woman...

Victory City
Victory City, also known as the Queen City of the North and capital of the Kingdom of Alriond. It sits beautifully in the heart of the Kingdom and is home to the Alriond Court where all the Kingdom's experts gather.
Inside one of the Hero's Quarters lay a female warrior in her bed. Her silver hair lay messily on the white bed sheets. Her hourglass-like body, ample breasts and plump buttocks included, rested cozily.
Ding!
The sharp door bell jolted the sleeping beauty awake. Her long eyelashes trembled as she unwillingly lifted her eyelids, revealing the sparkling silver underneath.
"What?", she queried lazily.
"You are to depart for the Great Mountain Sect tomorrow morning, Madam." reminded the servant from beyond the door.
"Mmm-hmm" She only grunted in reply before promptly returning to sleep.
