Another One
"My lovely Sister, do you remember our current score?"
"Of course! It is 72 victories and 72 defeats for both of us!"
"Then l will make mine 73 right now!"
"Good!"
The both of them started rolling up their sleeves.
"Stop, stop, stop! Did both of you idiots forget about where we
are currently? Are you going to show Brother Yi such a
shameful sight?" One of the more mature looking girls
suddenly stepped in.
"Ah…"
"Oh…"
They suddenly realized their mistake and fixed their sleeves.
"Haaa, with your current behavior, calling yourselves his
servant is a disgrace!" She lectured the both of them.
"Sorry, Senior Sister…" They both apologized with their
heads down, clearly ashamed of themselves.
"Whatever, just make sure to never act like this when we are
in front of him. Also, we will be here for another week, so
there will be enough time for all of us to get a turn."
"Ah! I almost forgot about that! It sounded too good to be real,
so…"
"Me too…"
"…."
*****
Tian Yi came back out many minutes later to see 20 girls
crowded into the bed he slept in last night. They fitted
themselves so perfectly that even he had trouble solving how
they did it!
All four beds were filled with defenseless peerlessly beautiful
girls sound asleep. Such an indescribable display, even a
glance was enough to cause all males to go crazy with lust! To
see so many beautiful girls in one bed was a man's dream!
Being shown such a view, Tian Yi sighed, "So troublesome…"
Even the male hormones in his body were slightly trembling
from such a sight!
Although he may be innocent, it does not mean he's unaware
of the relationship between the opposite gender! He was well
aware of what it meant for a male and female to be in the same
bed, yet he still offered to share it with the girls. Why?
Because he was innocent enough to trust these girls, and more
importantly, himself!
Ignoring the vulnerable looking girls, he went straight to the
table where Meng Xiang was waiting for him.
"Let's eat. We will continue your training afterward." He said
to her.
"Un." Nodding her head, Meng Xiang jumped into the food
with her tiny mouth.
*****
After finishing breakfast, Meng Xiang went straight into
training. It was a continuation of yesterday, learning how to
summon her Flames properly.
Just like yesterday, she repeats the process of canceling and
resummoning the flames again and again.
*****
*Yaaawn*
The girls started waking up after a few hours later.
However, every time someone wakes up, a quiet gasp could be
heard.
Just like Meng Xiang this morning, they were shown an
incredible scene right after waking up.
Silver Flames were dancing in the air alongside with Golden
Flames, creating an illusion of two Dragons flying across the
sky together! Flying around the tables and chairs in circles, the
Silver Flames was following the Golden Flames like two
children playing tag.
"O-Origin Divine Flames, the first type of Divine Flame to
exist since the beginning of time! There are only 2 of these
found so far, and I heard that the God of Divine Flames had
both, so what is one doing here?!?"
"What kind of Divine Flame is the golden one? I have never
seen or heard of this kind of Divine Flames before…"
The girls watched the two flames flying around the whole
room for a minute until it returned to its owners.
"She was the one controlling the Origin Divine Flames?!?"
The girls were bewildered after seeing the Silver Flames land
on Meng Xiang's palm.
"Your learning speed is faster than yesterday's. Good job."
Tian Yi praised Meng Xiang while patting her head.
"Hehehe." Happy that she was praised, Meng Xiang giggles
and said, "Big Brother, it is only because I find the the way
you teach me very easy to understand."
"Is that so? Then maybe I should become a teacher. Hahaha."
Tian Yi jokes.
"Ah, you girls are awake." He finally notices the girls
watching them with a puzzled face.
"Brother Yi, I thought that the God of Divine Flames had both
of the existing Origin Divine Flame, so how come there is one
over here?" One of the girls asked out of curiosity.
"It was a present from him." Tian Yi said.
"A present? I guess he's not as greedy as some people say…"
"Brother Yi, what do you want us to do for today and the
upcoming days?"
"There's nothing at— Ah, which one of you can cook? We
have been eating the food that I saved before coming aboard,
and I plan on letting everybody on this airship sleep until we
arrive…" Although it is a bit selfish and unnecessary, he does
not want anyone to get involved with Half-Gods like these
girls.
"Uhhh…" The girls start looking at each other with a troubled
expression.
None of them knew how to cook! Who here had the time or
effort to learn something that their servants were already doing
when all they need to do is Cultivate all day and night
nonstop? None of them—
"I can cook!" Someone suddenly shouts with enthusiasm.
"Eh?" Everybody looks to the girl who said that statement.
"Sister Yue, since when did you learn how to cook?"
"Right? You have never mentioned anything like that before!"
"Sister Yue, it's okay if you do not know how. Even if you just
wanted to feel useful, it will be bad for Brother Yi if he ate
something bad…"
Yu Yue was flabbergasted at her fellow Sister's response!
They did not believe that she could cook!
"Y-You! Who do you take me for?! Why would I lie to Brother
Yi about something like this? I started learning how to cook
since last year when a certain rumor was going around!" She
defended herself.
"A certain rumor? What was it about?" They asked with
doubt. Being together most of the time, how come she was the
only one to hear this rumor when nobody else in the group
has?!
"Hmph, since you all doubted me, I won't tell!" She puffed
out her cheeks.
"What! You—"
"Brother Yi, what would you like me to cook?" Yu Yue
ignored the girls and went straight to Tian Yi.
"Ah, anything is fine, but I do prefer Mortal Cuisine." He was
not a picky eater, but he still has his preferences.
Hearing that, Yu Yue's eyes sparkled, "Brother Yi, then I will
immediately go and cook you some Mortal Cuisine!" With
that, she went to the kitchen in confident strides.
"?!?!"
The girls look at her with a shocked expression.
"Did she actually learn how to cook without letting us
know?!"
"Even if she did, why in the World would she know Mortal
Cuisines?! She even looked so confident!"
"That's right! It must be that rumor. Now we have to find out
what this rumor is at all cost!"
It would not be as weird if Yu Yue had only learned how to
cook, but to learn Mortal Cuisines? What for?! Why is a HalfGod learning how to cook Mortal Cuisine when she could've
learned how to cook God Cuisines that can even improve
Cultivations and Lifespans?!
They were determined to solve this mystery that made her do
something so nonsensical!
While cooking, Yu Yue had to endure a dozen pairs of eyes
glaring at her back. She did not want to expose her cooking
skills so early, but to take advantage of her current situation,
she will show her skills for the first time in public!
*****
An hour later, Yu Yue came back out with a few plates of food,
with each plate giving off this salivating aroma, filling the
entire room with a delicious smell.
Carefully carrying the plates with Spirit Power Control to the
table, she delicately places them on the table.
"Brother Yi, I used whatever I could from my supply, and I
could only make Chicken Fried Rice with Gold Feathered
Chickens, Roasted Pork from a Heavenly Pig Overlord, StirFried Lettuce from the God Slaying Lettuce, and Green Tea
made from Green Jade Tea Leafs. Please enjoy." She finishes
introducing her product and begins waiting for Tian Yi's
judgment.
"…." But Tian Yi was speechless! Although she did make
Mortal Cuisines, they were all made from High-Quality
ingredients only available from the 3 God Worlds!
Would it still be called Mortal Cuisine if it was made from
Immortal ingredients? No! Although it was cooked and named
the same way, it is nothing like a Mortal Cuisine!
While Tian Yi was surprised at the food, the girls were
shocked at her skills! The mastery she has shown with the
knife and how she handled the food during cooking was
enough to shock all of them! One short year and she reached
this level?! Did she even Cultivate at all during the past year?!
Picking up a pair of chopsticks, Tian Yi tries the so-called
Roasted Pork.
After chewing a few times, his eyes lit up, "Oh! This Roasted
Pork is magnificent! Great job!" He praised her.
Being praised by him, Yu Yue's heart bursts open with
happiness, and she showed a beaming smile, making her
already beautiful face even more charming, "Thank you,
Brother Yi!" She bowed and said with a voice full of
emotions.
*Cough* *Cough*
The food was so delicious that Meng Xiang almost choked
from swallowing too fast! She has never tasted something as
good as this, and ate as if she has never eaten in her life
before! The food that she ate before at the Dragon's Den
Restaurant at the cost of many gold was like shit compared to
the free ones in front of her now!
"Meng Xiang, slow down. The food is not going anywhere."
Although he was already used to food like this, he still found
the taste unique. It was probably due to the way it was cooked.
Who would even think of using Immortal ingredients to cook
Mortal Cuisines? Even if someone did, would they dare waste
such expensive ingredients?
Yu Yue quietly watched Tian Yi eat the food she made with a
soothing smile. After hearing a particular rumor, even though
she was unable to verify if it was true or false, she still stopped
Cultivating and began learning how to cook. Now that she
think about it, it does not matter if it was true or false anymore
because all the time and hard work she had spent were already
returned from this one praise! No, even if it took away 100
years of her life, it was still worth it!
Smiling from ear to ear, she suddenly notices Tian Yi putting
down his chopstick to look at her.
"?" She was wondering what he has to say.
After thinking for a minute, he begins speaking, "Say,
although it has not been announced, I planned on looking for a
Personal Cook. Since you already fit my requirements, I might
as well ask you now. Do you want to be my Personal Cook? I
am not forcing you, so if you do not want to, you can refuse."
"…." Yu Yue's eyes went wide and did not speak even after a
minute.
"…." The girls behind her had the same expression on their
faces.
"…." Even Yan Yan froze!
After a few more seconds, Tian Yi continued to speak, "Ah,
how unprofessional of me to forget about telling you the
benefits of becoming one. Just like my Personal Servant, you
will have full authority over all the other servants in the Tian
Family, and you can choose any Cultivation Technique from
the first floor to the ninth floor in the Celestial Tower. I will
not restrict your freedom, so you can get married and have
children while still working under me. Your only duty is to
cook for me whenever requested. However, once you become
my Servant, it will be until the end of time, and there will be
no going back. Although I will still let you quit, if you really
decide to quit, you will be forced into the Road of
Reincarnation! So how about it? If you do not feel like you are
ready now, you can wait until the formal recruitment begins.
However, I will only have one spot for my Personal Cook
position, so if I find someone else before then, there will no
longer be—-"
"I accept!" Yu Yue interrupted him.
*Dong*
Kowtowing out of the blue, she shouted, "Please accept me as
your Personal Cook! I do not need Cultivation Techniques, nor
do I need a family of my own! As long as I can be Brother Yi's
Personal Cook, then I will be happy!"
"?!?!?!?" The girls were flabbergasted at the situation in front
of them! Was that the rumor?! That the Son of the Celestial
Emperor was going to recruit a Personal Cook?! How come
they didn't hear anything about that?! If they did, they
would've already abandoned their Cultivation time to learn
how to cook!
"Are you sure? It has only been a day since we've met, are
you really willing to throw away your unknown future for
me?" Tian Yi asks her again just to be sure.
"Yes! If Brother Yi is willing to accept someone who he has
only met for one day, then I am also willing to do the same!
Even if we had only met a minute ago, my answer would still
be the same! I am willing!" Her voice was filled with
determination and resolution.
"Is that so…" A gentle smile slowly appears on Tian Yi's face.
"Yu Yue, stand up!" He ordered.
"Yes!" She instantly jumps back onto her feet.
Walking in front of Yu Yue, Tian Yi said, "There's no real spot
as my Personal Cook, but there is one as my Personal Servant!
I will give you that title, but you will still be my Personal
Cook. If you are willing, then make a Heaven's Contract with
me!"
"I am willing!"
"Then repeat after me."
*****
With their right hand held at a 90-degree angle, Tian Yi began,
"I, your name,"
"I, Yu Yue,"
"Vow with the Heaven as witness,"
"Vow with the Heaven as witness,"
"That I am willing to be the Personal Servant for this figure in
front of me until the end of time,"
"That I am willing to be the Personal Servant for this figure in
front of me until the end of time,"
"And that I will never intentionally betray or do anything that
may hurt him, be it physically or mentally,"
"And that I will never intentionally betray or do anything that
may hurt him, be it physically or mentally,"
"If I break my Vow,"
"If I break my Vow,"
"May the Heaven shatter my Soul, never to be reincarnated
again!"
"May the Heaven shatter my Soul, never to be reincarnated
again!"
"Good! Then I, Tian Yi will officially accept you, Yu Yue, as
my Personal Servant until the end of time!" He smiles at the
girl with tears streaming down her beautiful face.
*RUMBLE*
Once again, the entire World of Clouds trembled with
excitement, and the shadows in the Starry Sky scrambled left
and right trying to avoid the rainbow orb traveling through the
void like a shooting star!
*Ssss*
The Rainbow Orb smacked Yu Yue on the forehead,
imprinting the word '天' into her pale skin.
Yu Yue stood there unmoving even when she felt the burning
sensation. She is glad it was painful because it meant that she
is not dreaming, and this is actually happening to her.
After the burning has gone away, she gently touched her
forehead, and the tears streaming down her face increased its
pace.
*Dong*
This time instead of kowtowing, she kneeled on one leg,
"Servant Yu Yue greets Bro— Master." She said still with tears
streaming down her face like a small waterfall.
"Another one…" Yan Yan cries in her heart.
