"Do you think it's easy to seduce me?" questioned Licheng as he picked up a plum from the bowl. "It is tough to sway my heart," he said confidently.
"Men fall weak in front of a beauty," Xiana remarked as she chewed the plum. "I know you are a great cultivator," she murmured. Silence prevailed between them for a while until they finished eating the plums.
Licheng called the maidservant to take the bowl and plates away. After she left, Xiana requested him, "I heard the phoenix is sealed here. I would like to see what it looks like."
Licheng shook his head. "I cannot show you that," he asserted.
"Why? I thought I have become a part of this royal family," Xiana complained, twitching her lips in annoyance.
Eunuch Jize came inside and humbly said, "Pardon me for intruding on the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."
