Soul Land: Phoenix & Tiger (A Rivals-to-Lovers Story)
Chapter 10: Teamwork… or Something Like That
Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng stood side by side, flames and claws crackling with power.
The masked enemy smirked. “Let’s see if Shrek’s ‘strongest students’ are worth anything.”
A massive wave of darkness surged toward them.
Xiaotao snapped her fingers. Her flames exploded, clashing against the attack.
Dai Yueheng leaped forward, claws extending as he sliced through the energy.
They actually looked impressive. Like a well-coordinated team. Like true partners
For about five seconds.
Then—
MA XIAOTAO/XIAOTAO/FL
MOVE, TIGER FACE! *Xiaotao yelled*
DAI YUEHENG/DAI/ML
*Growled* STOP SHOUTING IN MY EAR, FIRE CHICKEN!
MA XIAOTAO/XIAOTAO/FL
I’LL STOP WHEN YOU STOP BEING SLOW!
DAI YUEHENG/DAI/ML
“I’M NOT SLOW, YOU’RE JUST A RECKLESS IDIOT!
MA XIAOTAO/XIAOTAO/FL
Oh, I’m sorry, do you want me to let the villain kill you?!
They dodged at the last second, barely avoiding a dark energy blast.
The masked enemy paused. “...Are you two seriously arguing mid-battle?”
MA XIAOTAO/XIAOTAO/FL
*Scoffed* Oh, don’t mind us. This is normal.
DAI YUEHENG/DAI/ML
*Nodded* yeah, we do this all the time.
They attacked again.
Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng immediately went back to fighting.
And somehow, despite their constant bickering, their attacks synced perfectly.
Dai Yueheng slashed forward, Xiaotao’s flames coating his claws for extra power.
Xiaotao launched a fireball, Dai Yueheng’s wind redirecting it to hit the enemy dead center.
The masked figure stumbled back.
MA XIAOTAO/XIAOTAO/FL
*Grinned* See? We actually make a good team.
DAI YUEHENG/DAI/ML
*Scoffed* Don’t let it go to your head.
MA XIAOTAO/XIAOTAO/FL
Oh, please. My head is already high up in the sky
DAI YUEHENG/DAI/ML
*Facepalmed* You have problems.
MA XIAOTAO/XIAOTAO/FL
And you have a bruised ego.
DAI YUEHENG/DAI/ML
I WILL THROW YOU.
The enemy groaned. “By the heavens… I should’ve just fought Tang Sect instead.”
