***********************

Couple of hours later Xiao Ling’s lashes trembled and fluttered, he shot his eyes open from his sleep blinking his eyes a couple of times to adjust them. Besides him he noticed himself in Yanzhi’s arms, one hand of Yanzhi wrapped around him tight into his (YZ) chest and the other hand which Yanzhi’s head rested in his palm. Xiao Ling titled up his head and took a peek at Yanzhi who had his eyes closed, looking like he was in a deep sleep too. Xiao Ling took the moment of Yanzhi’s unawareness to admire his looks, the structure of Yanzhi’s face which looked like it was chiseled exclusively for him alone. He stretched out his hand sneakily like a thief as his fingers carresed Yanzhi’s face "but i like the real him better" Xiao Ling muttered underneath his breath thinking he wouldn’t be heard.

"You do?" asked Yanzhi in a husky teasing voice smirking. Xiao Ling was startled by the sudden question and tried to retrieve back his hand which was still on Yanzhi’s face. But his hand was quickly grabbed before he could retrieve it completely. Yanzhi brought his hand to his lips and gently placed a soft kiss in Xiao Ling’s palm feeling the softness and tenderness of Xiao Ling’s palm, he turned Xiao Ling’s hand and placed a soft kiss on the back of Xiao Ling’s hand too.

Xaio Ling blushed inexplicably with his swirling pools of eyes fixed on every action of Yanzhi. Yanzhi smirked seeing how red Xiao Ling’s white and tender skin turned bright with blush from his actions, he was very satisfied and enjoyed the reactions Xiao Ling had because of him. "Little wife, you said you preferred the real me better?" Yanzhi asked as he played with Xiao Ling’s hand entwining their fingers together. "....e-en!" Xiao Ling answered shyly. Yanzhi was quiet for a while hearing his reply. "But you’ve only seen the real me once. So how come you prefer the me you’ve only seen once?" Yanzhi asked again. "It’s simple, i want to be real to each other. Never hiding the real us from one another. Xiang gong is the one i choose to spend my eternity with and Xiang gong chooses me too, so why hide ourselves from each other?" Xiao Ling stated in a firm tone looking straight into Yanzhi’s eyes.

Yanzhi stared stunned by his words, never was him expecting such answer from Xiao Ling. He laughed with his eyes smiling brightly and amused. "Xiang gong why laugh?" Xiao Ling asked confused not knowing what he said which was funny. "Your Xiang gong was short sighted. I laughed because little wife taught me something i didn’t know, and i look forward to learning what i do not know from little wife" he answered honestly with his eyes still remained smiling. "Likewise! I also look forward to learning a lot from Xiang gong!" Xiao Ling smiled back brightly saying.

"Gurrrrrrr!" Xiao Ling’s stomach suddenly cried out startling him, he blushed embarrassedly from the unpleasant sound his stomach made. "Little wife, you’re hungry? I’ll have Yue get you something to eat, or do you rather we go down to have dinner in the restaurant?" Yanzhi asked with worry.

"No! I actually plan on cooking myself, it’s been days since we’ve last had fresh cooked food." Xiao Ling got out from under the covers and answered.

"Are you okay with that?" Yanzhi asked, he didn’t really like the idea of Xiao Ling doing such work himself.

"En, i prefer that. And..... i want to cook something delicious for Xiang gong too. I’ll borrow their kitchen for a while." Xiao Ling said while blushing.

Yanzhi chuckled at his cute coquettish behavior which he himself didn’t notice. "So be it, if that’s what little wife wish it be." Yanzhi said, the space distorted beside him as he open a small portal of his space. He is pulled out something wrapped with leaves. "How about i also do my job well and provide little wife with the best ingredients to cook with." he stated with a smug look. Xiao Ling stared at the thing passed to him confused.

"It’s the meat of a 2 tier mid-grade magic beast. The meat of magic beasts are the best ingredients to recover and restore qi. It could even increase your qi capacity" Yanzhi explained in a lazy tone. Xiao Ling’s eyes sparkled staring dead at the wrapped meat in his hand, he himself could feel the radiation of pure spiritual energy emitting from the meat.

"You mean i could have this?" he asked in an overly excited tone. Yanzhi chuckled.

"I have quite a stock of spiritual energy foods in the space. And it seems i could even buy more of them in something called god system mall. So little wife who should i feed the stock i have if not you? And even if it does finish, i have quite a lot of spirit stones to stock up more for you" Yanzhi said dotingly to him, he blushed happily "en!" he smiled.

Yanzhi sat up on the bed and patted beside up. "Come, i still have one more gift for you. Actually i wanted to gift you with something and waiting for you to wake up, but since little wife wants to cook i had to change the gifts." Yanzhi said as he urged Xiao Ling to seat next to him. Xiao Ling walked to the bed, he was instructed to take a seat with his legs crossed as if to cultivate. He did as told and Yanzhi did the same behind him.

Yanzhi placed both hands on his back "it’s going to sting a little" he informed Xiao Ling.

"Ughhhhhh!" Xiao Ling groaned as he felt hot sharp energy penetrate into his body through Yanzhi’s palms, he gritted his teeth and held back any groans. In his body felt like lava pouring in and eating away his life force, cold sweats formed on his forehead as his face paled. After a couple of minutes the pain and burning sensations subsided as Yanzhi withdrew back his hands.

[Ding! Ding! Ding!

Your contracted constellation the [Constellation Of The Snake Beast God] has gifted you with a gift. You have acquired a Heroic Heroic skill Heavenly flames. (Description: A flame amongst heavenly flames which eat away everything it touches and anything in it’s path. The heat of the flames can be adjusted by its wielder, it’s a flame which is alive and best used for refining and forging. Flames which are alive are hard to possess but due to it being a gift from your contracted constellation, the heavenly flames accept you as it’s new master. But know your flame is but an ounce of the original heavenly flames. )]

The system notified him. It took him about a minute for him to calm down all the intense emotions he felt from being given a skill in such a way. He turned to YanZhi looked to him with a smiling eyes.

"Heavenly flames? Wouldn’t such a skill be better for Feng and Mei Lin to have?" he asked with a bit of confusion.

"Truly. The Heavenly fire technique would suit them who practice alchemy. I can give them the flames for them to subdue themselves, but i gave you the flames for a different reason" Yanzhi said with smirk.

Xiao Ling titled his head with question marks. "And for what reason is that?" he asked with curiosity.

"For you to be able to cook with it!" Yanzhi replied with all seriousness.

Xiao Ling: "....."

He was flabbergasted and dumbstrucked. "For such a reason?" he asked not sure whether he heard correct. ’A Heroic Heroic skill given just to cook with?!’ he knew that he couldn’t match Yanzhi’s logic at all. When even B rank, A rank skills would be killed for, he was given a more higher skill just to use for cooking.

"That’s because normal flames can’t cook magic beasts! I went to feed little wife with better food with spiritual energy so it’s a must to possess the Heavenly fire!" Yanzhi argued seeing Xiao Ling’s bewildered looks. "Okay I’ll give all the disciples chance to go pick out their own fire but that depends entirely if they can subdue the flames, if that would make you feel better." he comprised trying to coax Xiao Ling. To YanZhi all these treasures were pretty average, but since he knew Xiao Ling’s story he knew how Xiao Ling felt about the techniques and treasures. So he thought to compromise sometimes for Xiao Ling’s sake.

"...okay" Xiao Ling sighed and nodded. He left the room and was accompanied by Yue and Liu, Chang took their places to guard their master’s room in their absence.

Xiao Ling went to find the inn’s keeper and requested to use the kitchen giving the inn’s keeper a few silver taels. They were led to one of the kitchens by a servant, Xiao Ling happily started to cook with the assistance of Yue and Liu.

Unaware to them, Luo Xia walked to Xiao Ling’s and Yanzhi’s room just when they left. Chang guarding the door with a stoic face sneered disdainfully when he saw her approached.

"This brother~" she called in a slutty and an irritating tone. Chang felt sick in the stomach hearing her irritating voice.

"What do you want?" he asked in a cold tone making her stunned. Seeing that her seduction didn’t work on Chang it shocked her a lot which angered her.

"Actually i brought this for master Jun and his mistress" she got straight to the point sounding as if it was with good will she came. She bought the basket of food she was holding to his face.

Chang was disgusted couldn’t stand the sights of her making him wanting to hit her, he took deep calming breaths. "I thank young miss Luo for her consideration, but I’ll have to decline. Mistress has gone to cook food for master. Your good will is much appreciated but it can’t be helped." Chang stated with seriousness.
