The feast!

"Lily, bring the animal feed over," Ace called lazily, stretching his arms as if he had all the time in the world.

A beautiful lady appeared in view.. Lily, the spirit bot, now officially named, marched over with a deep scowl—well, as much of a scowl as her artificial face could manage.

"This is a waste of resources, Master. A complete, utter, indefensible waste of resources," she grumbled, but despite her protests, she still carried over a woven basket filled with biscuit-like animal feed.

Ace simply smirked. "And yet, here you are, doing exactly as I asked."

Lily huffed, setting the basket down with an exaggerated thud. "Only because my efficiency protocol demands I follow orders."

The moment the basket touched the ground, Dixie, Zhao Yun's summoned beast, perked up. Its nostrils flared as it caught the scent, and in an instant, its sharp eyes locked onto the feed.
