Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld

Chapter 23 Little Turtle and Lady Phoenix

Inside The X Spirits company bulding, Turtt swaggered towards the common area with a glass of red wine. He sat on the sofa and looked at Lily, who stared at her phone silently with a furrowed brow.

"Lily, what are you doing?"

With a small jump upon seeing him, she blurted out, "Little Turtle, you scared me!"

"Stop." Turtt said unhappily. "I told you to call me Turtt."

Turtt, one of the animal spirits in Lady Phoenix's The X Spirits, couldn't understand why they all made things so chaotic; it was a simple request.

Lily ignored him. "What do you think Lady Phoenix is doing right now?"

Turtt took a sip of his wine, glanced at the spirit sideways, and said, "How would I know? Besides, you've seen Lady Phoenix before whereas the rest of us spirits have no idea what she looks like. I have no clue what she could be up to." Lily slapped Turtt's head hard.

Turtt looked aggrieved. "Ouch! Why would you hit me?"

Did he say something wrong?

Lily glanced sideways at Turtt. "When a child doesn't listen, his parent has to teach him a lesson. You're being disrespectful."

Turtt considered if that could be true.

Alright, fine. Lily was co-owner but more importantly, probably correct. Out of respect and because she was the only one who had met Lady Phoenix face-to-face, he wouldn't argue with her. Thinking about Lady Phoenix made his curiosity stir again.

"Be honest with me, Lily. Is Lady Phoenix a man or a woman? What does she look like?"

He had already met Lizard and Dragon, the other members of The X Spirits, but Lady Phoenix had been keeping the men in suspense.

In Lily's mind, she thought back on Lady Phoenix's stunning beauty, and couldn't help but salivate.

If she were into women, she wouldn't be able to help wanting to pounce on her, let alone if she were a man with as little control as they often displayed.
