Lady Dai Jie flows into the room.

Unlike the Wandering Wind, who always seems to be floating one or two inches above the ground, Lady Dai Jie’s stride holds no unnatural quality. Her elegance is one that has been refined through countless hours of practice to the point each of her steps seamlessly flows into the next, enhancing what is already an impressive sight.

Much like Big Sister Bai Wen, Lady Dai Jie wears a veil to hide her face. However, no heavy cloak or rags covers her body. Instead, she is dressed in blue robes with white snowflake patterns. The robes are made of a thick yet soft-looking material and do not expose Lady Dai Jie’s skin. It is a decidedly conservative outfit, yet it somehow manages to cling to Lady Dai Jie’s body in just the right ways to accentuate her figure.

Liu Jin makes a conscious effort not to stare.

Lord Feng Gui does not.

“I greet Emperor Qing Jin and Lord Feng Gui, next Patriarch of the Eternal Flame Clan.” Lady Dai Jie’s bow is without flaw, neither too deep nor too shallow. Her voice has a melodic quality that makes it easy to listen to. “I thank you for welcoming me under your roof.”

“I am never one to turn away a beautiful woman, Lady Dai Jie,” Lord Feng Gui says, smiling as he underplays the magnitude of his actions.

For a member of the Divine Frozen Palace to be allowed inside the Eternal Flame Clan is no small thing, especially one of the Five Fairies. Officially, Lady Dai Jie is the first outsider to set foot in the Eternal Flame Clan in nearly a century. People will be talking about this nonstop in the weeks and months to come.
