Both Xiao Feng and Yuan Meiying looked in the direction of Yuan Hao’s voice and they saw him staring at them with widened eyes and slightly opened mouth. Beside him, they also saw the teleport formation elder who just like Yuan Hao was staring at them with widened eyes and slightly opened mouth.

“Why are you two hugging?” Yuan Hao said what he shouted out earlier.

The elder of the teleport formation nodded his head as he too wanted to know as to why was Xiao Feng hugging Yuan Meiying and vice versa.

“That’s none of your business,” Xiao Feng said.

Yuan Hao frowned, the teleport formation elder widened both his eyes and mouth while Yuan Meiying looked at Xiao Feng and smiled. Then, she looked at both her brother and the teleport formation elder. “Xiao Feng and I got engaged. He is now my fiancé and I am now his fiancée.”

“Wha—what did you just say?!” Yuan Hao shouted out while the teleport formation elder loudly gulped down his saliva.

“Your sister and I got engaged,” Xiao Feng said. “She is now my fiancée and I am now her fiancé.”

The elder of the teleport formation once again loudly gulped down his saliva while Yuan Hao closed his eyes and took in a slow deep breath through his nose. He held it in for a few seconds as he attempted to calm himself down and slowly breathed out of his mouth before opening his eyes and looking at both his sister and his brother-in-law. He smiled. “Congratulations, Meiying, Xiao Feng.”

“Thank you.”

“Thank you, brother.”

Xiao Feng and Yuan Meiying said in unison.

“Con—congratulations,” the elder of the teleport formation said.

“Thank you, elder,” Xiao Feng and Yuan Meiying said in unison.

“Sister, brother-in-law,” Yuan Hao said. “Stop hugging, stand up and take out the magical beast cores that you have gathered. Let’s see who won.”

Xiao Feng and Yuan Meiying nodded their heads and did as they were told. They stopped hugging, stood up from the ground and pulled out all the magical beast cores that they have gathered.

Xiao Feng pulled out two-hundred magical beast cores.

Yuan Meiying pulled out seven-hundred-seventy-nine magical beasts cores.

“I win,” Yuan Hao said and pulled out all the magical beast cores that he had gathered. He pulled out one-thousand-two-hundred-fifty-nine magical beast cores.

“Here you go, brother,” Yuan Meiying said as she extended her seven-hundred-seventy-nine magical beasts cores to Yuan Hao.

“Take them,” Xiao Feng said as he extended his two-hundred magical beast cores to Yuan Hao.

“Hehe,” Yuan Hao said as he took Yuan Meiying’s and Xiao Feng’s magical beast cores. He put them and his own magical beast cores into his robe. “I will see you two later,” he said and ran in the direction of the mission centre.

Xiao Feng’s stomach grumbled. He looked down at it.

“Let’s go to the cafeteria to eat,” Yuan Meiying said.

Xiao Feng looked at Yuan Meiying and nodded his head. “Let’s go,” he said and they made their way to the cafeteria which was located on the west side of the peak. It was a four-storey building. They entered it. Inside it, there were a lot of tables in the centre of the room. Two staircases, one between the centre of the room and the east wall and the other between the centre of the room and the west wall. Three kitchens, one on the east wall, one on the west wall and one on the north wall. And a lot of disciples. Some were picking out food at the kitchens while others were eating at the tables.

Xiao Feng and Yuan Meiying walked up to the kitchen that had the least people. Xiao Feng grabbed a soup named borsch and two meat dishes named chicken schnitzel and grilled sliced brisket while Yuan Meiying grabbed a soup named chicken soup and a meat dish named steak and soba stir fry. They walked up to and sat down at an unoccupied table. They started to eat and as they ate, they chatted.

Xiao Feng learned many things about Yuan Meiying and a few things about Yuan Hao, and Yuan Meiying learned many things about Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng also learnt that cafeteria’s second floor was for the inner disciples and the elders, that the second floor of the mission centre was for the inner disciples, that third floor of the cafeteria was for the core disciples, that the third floor of the mission centre was for the core disciples and that the fourth floor of the cafeteria was for the elders of the divine peak.

From the cafeteria, Xiao Feng and Yuan Meiying walked to the outer disciple peak and then to their respective houses. He entered his house and his bedroom, walked up to his bed and sat down on it. “Time to start training my body,” he thought. “First, in the divine black dragon emperor body strengthening technique and then in the body strengthening of a tyrannical emperor. Training my body in the first level of the divine black dragon emperor body strengthening technique will allow me to activate my divine black dragon emperor bloodline when I wish and not when I get angry or get called weak. And training my body in the first level of the body strengthening of a tyrannical emperor will allow me to activate my tyrannical emperor bloodline when I wish and not when I get called weak.” He closed his eyes.
