Threads Of Destiny(Eastern Fantasy, Sequel to Forge of Destiny)

Voted best in category in the Users' Choice awards.
Meizhen laughing and teasing her friends about boys while lounging on a couch, calling them by first name only. Fen Fen really didn't know what she was getting into when she got assigned as her Black Viper.

[X] Xia Anxi, since they had some shared interests.

Given initial impressions I'm down to interact more with Lao Keung in general, but now seems like a good time to make a better opening impression on XA. He also theoretically gives us an in on some of the music styles of Thousand Lakes, which could be really nice to have handy at some point in the future, both for Meizhen and in general.
As far as Lao Keung, hopefully there'll be plenty of time later for his husbando viability to be fleshed out, and LQ will have some more time to investigate his impeccable physique. We certainly wouldn't want to abstain.
TLDR Music snek now, muscle snek later.
In my head, Yrs will have made the beefy Bai a python to make a Hulk Hogan bicep joke and nothing will convince me to the contrary.

As much as I love beefcakes, I don't wanna ignore music boy.

[X] Lao Keung, who seemed more down to earth.

I guess I am convinced by the question of what sorts of things 'keeping a handle on' the Bai retainers might mean in the context of the Sun arriving. I am more confident that we can restrain and redirect red snek than I am music snek. And I think Meizhen can handle him with no issues. So... Is this a "face against outsiders" or a "future leverage" sort of situation?

I think the first.

1. Muscles.
2. Down to earth. Nah, still muscles. We all know which boy LQ would prefer to "handle." Six checking under the hood is technically part of our assignment to decipher intentions right?
3. Audacious said it best.
Going by the actual question posed, we're better poised to handle Lao Keung with his relationship rank already at 1 than Xia Anxi at 0.

Also, we haven't been cramming music theory studies since our dinner date have we? So regarding our shared interest, our music convo might be... awkward? Like Anxi didn't seem to believe that our particular style could b worthy of interest. And our musical knowledge-base beyond our own arts is abysmal.

Eh, I kinda just don't like pompous purple very much. But I do like the idea of exploring why he's afraid of Meizhen... and making him afraid of us.

I think we need to get to know them both better, it's not even a matter who we like more or who is more interesting, we just need the ability to predict and influence Meizhens new followers to keep them, and Meizhen, out of trouble in a pinch.
 
"So you are," Meizhen said blithely. "What do you think of them by the by, aside from your admiration of Lao Keung's physique."

"Meizhen," Ling Qi hissed. "Spirits, I wasn't obvious right?"

"No, I just know you," Meizhen replied smugly.
Looks like Meizhen got Ling Qi back for her teasing over Bao Qingling after she set up Wang Chao's dueling club.
