Notes:
Hello! Those of you who saw me rewrite the first chapter of this story may have seen this update coming (and if you didn't, I heavily recommend reading the improved Part I), but I am indeed revisiting what -in my opinion- is the best of the Monsterverse Kaiju designs!

Yrsillar Wrote:"But please, Madam Diao, Su Ling, help yourself to the wine and tea. I hope everything is well in the north?"
"It is. There is nothing urgent, so please go ahead and speak of personal matters before we come to my small requests." Diao Hualing elegantly took her seat and accepted one of the cups of wine on the tray atop the table.
"That does raise a question. I did expect you both, but until your last letter, I was not expecting you to come south together."
"Just made sense. No point in taking separate trips," Su Ling grumbled.
"It was efficient. I have been working with Miss Su on some subjects," Diao Hualing followed up. "She is quite the spirit hunter."
"You got a lotta towns and villages infected with nasty shit," Su Ling muttered. "... At least you're doing something about it, I guess. Anyway, how is Gan Guangli doing?"
"Quite well, last I heard," Ling Qi replied. "Why, with the palisade going up at Snowblossom, he might even be on his way."
She glanced between the two of them as she spoke, and Su Ling sputtered. Despite that, Su Ling was satisfied ; her spirit was serene, a sheathed blade, embers burning low. Diao Hualing was more reserved, but she showed no sign of upset with how casual Su Ling was being.
Prime Minister Diao Linqin had described the woman as an opportunist, Ling Qi remembered. What was she truly gaining here? Cultivating an asset, her instincts whispered. More than one asset, she considered, meeting Diao Hualing's pleasant expression with a smile.
