《Monarch of Alchemy》6.

It was shocking enough that Yi Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Well, let me shower first," he said before going into the bathroom.
The bathroom in the pavilion was quite simple, it had a bamboo running water into the tub.
Yi Yun didn't take off his clothes right away, he said, "Miss Xinghe, you're not going to peek right?"
Knowing that Xia Xinghe had been observing his life all along made him feel like his privacy had been snooped on.
"Don't talk nonsense, you think I'm attracted to your little body," Xia Xinghe replied.
"I know you're not interested, but still I feel uncomfortable if someone sees me taking a shower."
"Do you think I have a snooping habit? You shouldn't think dirty things about me or the heavens will send tribulation lightning to wipe you out."
"Okay, okay, I believe." But despite saying that, he chose to keep his clothes on while he showered.
The water turned out to be quite warm, so he felt very comfortable and refreshed.
After being satisfied, he changed into the clothes the sect had given him.
He looked around before entering the ring again. This time, he brought the food storage.
Soon he appeared in the Heavenly Garden.
That place also became night. Even though there were no stars, strangely there was light radiating everywhere so the vision was still quite clear.
Xia Xinghe who was sitting on a rock quickly approached him. She took the food storage in his hand and immediately opened it. Her eyes shone brightly as she looked directly at the food inside. She quickly sat down.
“Now I doubt whether you are really a Goddess,” Yi Yun said.
"Goddess also has an appetite, in my heyday, food like this was just trash, but I haven't eaten for too long, even my wine is almost gone," he replied.
She casually cut the meat from the cow's leg with her hands.
"Let's eat together," she said again before sending the meat into her mouth.
Although it was a bit awkward to eat with such a beautiful woman, Yi Yun still chose to sit with her.
He took the fried duck breast which turned out to be very good. It was chewy and salty, he wanted more after trying a bit.

The soup was still warm, the aroma was also very refreshing. He added rice and oil from the meat before eating it with the spoon provided in the food storage.
Even though he didn't eat fast, he didn't stop to drink.
"It seems that you really enjoyed it," Xinghe said.
"I've never eaten in a restaurant, but this dish is indeed much tastier than those sold by street vendors."
"That's an unfair comparison."
"You seem to be enjoying it too, Miss Xinghe."
"Yeah, it turned out pretty well, maybe because it's been too long and I've forgotten what a delicious dish looks like."
After saying that, she took the wine in the food storage. “You are only 16, so don't drink wine just yet,” she said, making Yi Yun smile wryly.
Xia Xinghe started drinking the wine, she drank fast enough that half of the wine was gone in a few moments.
"I think I'll sleep well tonight," she said again after a sigh.
"Are you sleeping here, Miss Xinghe?" Yi Yun asked.
He felt that it was not suitable, although this place was an independent space, it was also very spacious, one would feel as if they were in a normal world.
"Of course not," she replied.
"Look at that." She then pointed to the west.
As Yi Yun stared at the direction he was pointing, a simple wooden house suddenly appeared from it, it flew towards them.
"You have a house?"
"Yeah, but this little house is all I have, I think even if I fall, I at least live in a palace."
She then stood up. "I want to sleep now, watching you cultivate is really tiring, finish off those leftovers!"
She stepped into the house which was now landing not far from them. She still carried the wine and continued to drink, her steps swayed slightly, it seemed that she was a bit drunk.
'She is like a mortal, is she a fallen Goddess?' Yi Yun thought of a few guesses as he looked at her back.
After he finished eating, he put the food storage back in front of the door before going to his room to sleep because he was starting to feel sleepy.

The next morning, he woke up feeling very refreshed.
He opened the window and felt very excited as he breathed in the dewy cold air.
'Maybe I need some exercise,' he thought before exiting his pavilion.
The food storage was no longer on his doorstep, he didn't know when it was taken.
Right after he came out, Mei Mei also came out of her pavilion, she looked even better in the dress the sect gave her. It was similar to a kimono dress on earth, the material was obviously of high quality silk.
Seeing him, she immediately approached him.
“Yi Yun,” she greeted in a gentle tone.
There were no other disclipes, so she seemed more relaxed.
"How is your cultivation?" she asked.
"It's going well, but I think I need some time before it reaches the first stage."
"Me too, this turned out to be not easy. I don't know what about the others."
At this time, a person riding on a bird whose wings reached two meters suddenly flew towards the area, the bird brought some food storage which was exactly the same as last night.
One by one, they were dropped in front of the door that had occupants. Even though they were dropped from a height of over ten meters, they landed slowly because the person riding the bird used its power to control them.
He nodded at Yi Yun and Mei Mei before leaving.
"So this is how they share food, I'm already hungry, I'll take a look," Mei Mei said before walking back to her pavilion.
Yi Yun wondered if Mei Mei ate any food last night as it was strange that she was already hungry while he only felt a little hungry even though he shared food with Xinghe.
Curious about this morning's dish, he finally put off his exercise, he checked the food storage first. As it turned out, it contained toast, a piece of boiled chicken, and a bottle of tea and a bottle of water, less than last night's.
He stuffed the food storage into the pavilion before heading back out.
The door of one of the pavilions suddenly opened, revealing a thin man with long hair and a gloomy face.
He picked up the food storage in front of his door, looked at Yi Yun and Mei Mei for a while before entering again without greeting them.
Mei Mei seemed to be muttering something, maybe she was annoyed that the man didn't greet them at all.
Yi Yun, on the other hand, didn't care at all.
This sect may have good philosophy, but it is impossible for everyone to be like Senior Luo, some must have strange personalities, he would rather remain calm than have to conflict with them.
He began to stretch and do the gymnastic moves he remembered.
The morning sun was very and gentle, over time, he began to sweat hot and warm.
After feeling quite hungry, he immediately returned to the pavilion.
He entered the Heavenly Garden, there was no Xia Xinghe, maybe she was sleeping. He ended up leaving half of the breakfast for her.
The cultivation life seemed boring because he had to meditate outside of his bedtime, but he quite enjoyed it.
From morning to evening, he managed to absorb another 7 percent of the Awakening Pill's energy.
This time, his body expelled more feces so he immediately rushed to the bathroom.
After he showered, he finally heard Xinghe speak. She said, "Not bad, it turns out that you were more diligent in cultivating on the second day."
"I thought this was fun, I used to dream of being able to make money just by locking myself in a room, now I can gain power, this is even better."
"So I've helped make your dream come true, how about you thank me one more time."
Yi Yun was silent for a moment, he then asked, "Do you really want a thank you from a little human like me, Miss Xinghe?"
"Yeah, I feel pretty good after hearing you say it earlier," Xinghe replied.
"It sounds as if you never received a thank you."
"What if I said never at all?"
