Prologue: The Fire Sect
Internal Structure of the Fire Sect (Ranked by Position from Highest to Lowest)
- Leader: Dean-Ho-Focken (Known as the Duke)
- Sect Master: Ye Ye (Generally inherited by the female head of the Focken family; if there’s no suitable female heir, it is jointly managed by the Leader and the Holy Master)
- Holy Master: Qilin (Each generation’s Qilin comes from a family, the mysterious Shen City family; the selection criteria for Qilin involve inheriting dual-colored eyes.)
Four Guardians: Due to the extensive business of the Focken family’s legitimate enterprise, the ‘Empire Group’, the Four Guardians also manage the group’s affairs alongside Dean, while their responsibilities towards the Fire Sect are handled primarily by their Protectors. Each Guardian has their own affiliated armed organization at their command.
- East: Lie (Qing Long, Administrative) — Blue Flame Group
- South: Gong Xun (Zhu Que, Intelligence) — Red Flame Group
- West: Si Men Xu (Bai Hu, Military) — White Flame Group
- North: Tang Xi (Xuan Wu, Armaments) — Black Flame Group
The Gold Flame Group is the foremost of the five flame groups, under the command of the Leader and the Sect Master. The Blue Flame Group is under the command of the Holy Master.
From Paris to Rome: Part Two, Paris, Here I Come
At around 5 PM, the plane landed smoothly at the airport, and the three girls walked out of the terminal together. Smiling, they lifted their heads and took a deep breath of the slightly cool air, all saying in unison, “Paris — we’re here!” They then shared radiant smiles. Their outstanding looks and youthful vibe deeply attracted passersby, who all watched in amazement at the three beautiful Chinese girls.
Ye Ye, Du Miao Miao, and Qiu Yu arrived at the luxurious 5-star hotel in the center of Paris — the “Imperial-Hotel”. The opulent lobby and the energetic, courteous staff all reflected the hotel’s unparalleled luxury and well-trained internal culture. After checking in, each girl went to her room to freshen up and rest before dining together.
Back in her room, Ye Ye suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach. Calculating the days, she realized — her period had arrived! “Why does it have to come now of all times? So inconvenient~~~” Ye Ye mumbled to herself, unhappily stuffing her room key into her wallet, grabbing her phone, and heading out to buy sanitary pads! After browsing around the supermarket on the hotel’s first floor, she bought her preferred brand and some painkillers from the pharmacy counter, paid, and was about to head back to her room. Standing by the elevator, she felt a sharp cramp in her lower abdomen — she had menstrual cramps.
