Jokes and Giggles

Xiao Yan was the first to wake up. She saw Mu Yue sleeping and gave a quick kiss to her forehead. She then stood up carefully and went to the kitchen.

She wanted to experiment. This was needed in order for her to know Mu Yue's taste.

When Mu Yue woke up, she saw Xiao Yan staring at her. "Good morning, Xiao Yan."

"Good morning, Mu Yue. Breakfast is ready."

"Really? That should have been my job."

"It's not a job, but yeah, you are normally the one who takes care of our food. But this time, let me, to make it up for you."

"Okay!"

Mu Yue, expecting a delicious meal quickly got out of the bed. She then saw 2 bowls and 3 plates that were covered on the table. "There's so many!"

She then took out the cover of the first bowl and frowned, "Fresh blood?"

It does count as breakfast for her but she was expecting something better, something a human would prepare for another human as a breakfast.

She then reached for the cover of the second bowl. "What is this?"

"A dish having blood as its primary ingredient." Xiao Yan answered.

Mu Yue had a bad feeling about these breakfasts. She quickly removed the covers for the 3 plates.

Xiao Yan then explained, "Cooked blood in a rectangular shape, steak, and raw meat. I wanted to find out what you prefer."

"Are you joking?"

"Does it look like one?"

"Yes! Fresh blood is alright, steak is alright, that bloody dish is also alright! But straight-up cooked blood and even raw meat?! Not alright!" Mu Yue complained. She then added, "This is inhumane! I'm not a beast that eats fresh meat."

"But you are not human... and drinks fresh blood."

"Still, were you expecting me to eat raw meat?"

"Well no... it's just there just in case... sorry."

"Ah, no need to apologies..."

Xiao Yan then remembered something, "Mu Yue, are you fine eating vegetables?"

"Yes, so long as it is not too much."

"Then what about herbs and fruits?"

"Completely fine as long as those have a lot of spiritual energy. If it's just regular ones, then I can only do little bites to taste them."

Herbs, vegetables, or fruits that contain spiritual energy are different than the regular ones. Not only are they more beneficial to consume, but even carnivores can also easily eat them. However, a carnivore with a higher cultivation level will see a lower level herb, fruit, or vegetable the same as the ones without spiritual energy.

"By the way, my lovely princess..."

"Yea- wait... why lovely princess?" Mu Yue asked. She does not know if it's just how Xiao Yan calls her or she knew she was one.

"You are my love, and you are a princess." Xiao Yan smiled. She did not expect Mu Yue to be a princess. She now has a better background than her.

"You know I am a princess?"

"Yes, your guardian told me at the same time he told me the message."

"..." Mu Yue wanted to be the one to tell her. She was keeping it a secret because she was asked to.

"Since you know, maybe knowing more won't hurt. I am the princess of the blood race. I am not officially one yet though. Also, this would be my last year on this land. I am nearing the Core Formation stage, and staying here won't provide much."

"Near? What is your cultivation level now?"

"Peak level 9th step Foundation Establishment Stage."

Xiao Yan was shocked. She was trying so hard to raise her cultivation level and was stuck at the Peak of the 6th step.

"I am a bit jealous..."

"You will reach it eventually. I have some good encounters that led to my cultivation level increasing so much. I also don't have to deal with breakthroughs as hard as you."

"That's such a cheat." No matter how fast Xiao Yan can cultivate, it won't help her when she is stuck and needing to break through.

"Oh, since I have such a cheat, maybe I can help you!"

"Oh? how?"

"I heard two people can help each other in cultivation. It's called dual cultivation."

"*Cough**Cough* W-what!"
