"Whew...that was one heck of a meal," Yu An Yan whistled.
"Sure was," I agreed, leaning back on the couch.
The seven of us had just finished eating lunch at Hotpot Shenzhen. Needless to say, we were all very satisfied and full. Well...with the exception of the phoenix.
"Hmph! I didn't get to eat anything!" she declared, puffing out her cute little cheeks in a pout. Since she was in her tiny bird form, it was more adorable than anything else. However, the four girls who didn't know about her yet, Yu An Yan, Yu An Xue, Qing Yue, and Obsidia, were shocked by the sudden outburst.
"T-This bird...it can talk?" Yu An Yan asked, gulping nervously. "I've been wondering for a while now regarding what it is...I just didn't ask since I thought it was just a pet you bought Mei Gui..."
I sighed. "I should've told you guys about her sooner. Basically, here's what happened..."
Heya guys! Cyclxne here.
Character development really isn't easy...developing relationships isn't either. This is taking more chapters than I would've liked, but I promise the action will start again very soon.
I'm trying to find a good balance between calm, more or less calm, sometimes comedic scenes, and bloody battle scenes. It's not easy, honestly. Actually, writing isn't easy at all. I used to be just a reader, taking what authors wrote for granted...criticizing, judging. But now that I really am an author myself, I realize how hard it really is, and how immature I was back then.
So I would like to take this opportunity to tell all of you guys to appreciate authors. Not just me, but whatever other novels you read. They are all working hard, and doing far more than what you read on the surface. Just keep that in mind next time before making a hateful comment or diss.
Sorry, I'm kinda ranting about some deep shit right now. The reason for this? I'm listening to some real emotional rap. Best of NF ft. Eminem. The remixes are great. Give it a listen sometime.
Anyway, that's all from me for now.
And as always, I'll see you guys, in the next chapter.
