They looked at each other gulped, then ate while feigning joy and smiles. A few seconds later they were convulsing on the ground then passed out. Then the dream continued on repeat from there. Until morning that is.

The sun came up, and the two females woke up. Once awake, they silently got up from their sleeping positions and went down stairs to prepare another 'delicious' meal. Having made it to the kitchen, Huoli started getting the kitchenware prepared, whilst Xue Meiren prepared the ingredients for the chinese stuffed pancakes. While they were cooking a delicious and fragrant scent made its way up stairs filling each room on its way.

*Yawning x2

Shen Hu, and Yueliang smelling the delicious scent, awoke, and yet still half asleep as if being controlled by the scent. Yueliang climbed upon Shen Hus' back and they proceeded downs stairs to see what could be producing such an alluring scent.

Hearing something coming down the stair albeit quite Xue Meiren looked in that direction. Seeing them at the base of the stairs she began saying seeing them still half asleep. "Good morning you two sleepy heads. Breakfast is almost ready, please go wait at the table."

In their daze, they just nodded and proceeded to the table to wait until the food was ready. About 10 minutes later a few dishes where placed on the table and Huoli began speaking. "Good morning, my love, and my king. We have prepared breakfast, I hope you enjoy it.

Now being more fully awake, Yueliang and Shen Hu replied. "Good morning, and thank you." Then proceeded to look down to see what was prepared. What they see, is green pancakes stuffed with what they could only hope was some sort of meat. Seeing this, they look towards each other and just with their eyes alone they spoke. Shen Hu beginning the conversation. "Was last night a prophetic dream?"

Yueliang swiftly replying. "I have no idea about prophetic dreams, however I think it may have been a warning from heaven. Should we really be supporting their cooking instead of telling them? We might die by their hands!"

Shen Hu continues. "As you know, we put our lives on the line for the ones we love."

"I think that may be out of context, however alright." Yueliang replied as they nodded to each other then began eating.

Yueliang and Shen Hu both spoke simultaneously saying with smiles on their faces, and tears forming. "Wow, this is delicious." As they continued to eat swiftly. Once they finished their meal, they quickly said. "Thank you." Then Yueliang climbed on Shen Hus' back with some difficulty before they proceeded back up stairs to the bedroom.

Half way up the stairs, the two could feel some effects coming on. Then both started convulsing before passing out, and their bodies sliding down the stairs.

---- Meanwhile A Few Seconds Earlier ----

"It is so wonderful that we can give them such joy from our cooking." Huoli said while picking up some of the dishes.

"I agree.... " *Thud Thud Thud "What is that sound?" Xue Meiren replied, and as if it just dawned on the two, they began rushing over to the stairs to see if whoever fell was okay.

Huoli worriedly picked up Shen Hu and carried him to the living room, whilst Xue Meiren picked up Yueliang. They both began checking their bodies for injuries, and seeing that they were fine, Huoli placed Shen Hus' head on her lap while she was in human form, whilst Xue Meiren placed Yueliangs' head on her stomach since she could not shape shift just yet.

---- About 10 Minutes Later ----

"Nngn, What happened?" Shen Hu said while thinking to himself with a killer headache. 'Last thing I remember we were climbing up the stairs and then... Ohhh'

Yueliang woke up next with a killer headache as well, and looked Shen Hu in the eyes communicating that way once again saying. "That is it, we nearly died, I have to tell them."

Shen Hu swiftly began saying. "No, we can certainly last through this. This is just some physical training. Right, training." He tries convincing himself and Yueliang.

Yueliang began speaking again, this time out loud while still staring into Shen Hus' eyes. "Huoli, Xue Meiren, I must tell you something. Your cooking is so .... wonderful, I think you should buy the cooking skill to truly see how far your skill can go."

Hearing Yueliang pause mid sentence nearly gave Shen Hu a heart attack even feeling his heart stop until Yueliang turned it around.

If one sat and watched this conversation, they would quickly notice the ever growing beautiful smiles appearing on the two ladies faces as they heard such compliments. Then upon thinking about it, they thought. 'Why did he say the cooking skill rather than get recipes from cook books?'

Huoli then spoke saying. "Clearly we are not good enough, however thank you for your praise milord." She said this trying to not make the men feel bad for trying to comfort and support their decisions.

"I am sure you two will get much better in the future. However whatever you choose to do in the future, I think I speak for both Shen Hu and myself when I say that we look forward to and are excited to see your progress.

"With that said, thank you for taking care of us after our minor fall." Yueliang expressed his gratitude.

"Speaking of which, how exactly did you fall?" Xue Meiren asked trying to clarify on the situation. Then Huoli nodded as she asked this question being curious as well.

"Uhm .... Slipped?" Yueliang replied unconvincingly as if asking a question.

*Ahem. Shen Hu cleared his throat, and then speaks, saying. "Sorry, it seems my stomach was still settling, and I missed a step." Shen Hu said while still being honest.

Hearing this Yueliang thought to himself. 'Wow, Shen Hu could have gotten best male actor in my old world with how great he is pulling this off. I think I can even see a tear rolling down his cheek.'

"Well I am glad that we could help." Xue Meiren said in a down trodden voice, clearly able to see how it was disguised that it was clearly their cooking. She felt really sad finding out that she was the cause. Then feeling a hand on her shoulder she followed it, seeing Huoli comforting her with a forced smile, as she knew she was also responsible.

"Do not worry, we will definitely practice before we cook for you again." Huoli said while looking at the two men still lying on them comfortably with smiles on their faces.

Shen Hu, and Yueliang just smiled at her comment while staying silent, and snuggling a little closer to their respective soft, comfortable 'pillows'.

---- A Couple Minutes Later ----

"Well, before anything else, let us get this out of the way. Is there anything you three want to bring with you before we leave?" Yueliang asked although, truthfully speaking, he knew he would not be leaving this planet any time soon. His followers also knew that, as they could see he still has plans for this place.

Hearing this, the three looked at each other with curiosity. Then Shen Hu spoke up. "It seems I speak for these two ladies as well when I say that we will be ready to leave when you are. For now the only thing of value we would take with us is each other. Of course there is also the baby, however he will probably be born after we leave this planet."

"I see, also as I am sure you know, we will not leave just yet. I just want you to be prepared to leave at a moments notice should we need to." Yueliang added.historical

"You worry to much, do not worry, we are here for you whenever you are ready." Huoli said.

Listening to her words, Yueliang looked up and saw .... 'No it cannot be.' He thought to himself then closing and reopening his eyes again, he Huoli again, thinking. 'Phew, well hopefully that does not happen again. It could get me killed. Yang can you explain what just happened?'

"No problem my brother. You simply heard something that brought up some long suppressed memories. Apparently they were strong enough to cause you to hallucinate 'that' woman." Yang replies calmly.

'I see, thank you again. By the way considering my current condition, I was wondering is there a way to do the daily quest that would not risk my condition worsening?'

"No, and Yes. No, you cannot really avoid the daily quests as I know that is what you are asking. Now for the yes portion, you can choose to fight beasts or battles. As these would naturally accumulate the work anyway, just like what you did with parkour. Of course, while you could continue doing parkour, or use some other method, your difficulty and rewards changed to a fixed rate, rather than growing each day. Now they only grow based on level increments of ten." Yang swiftly replies.
