The Real Food God!

A couple days have passed since I bought Xue Mei. She spends a lot of time sleeping to recover quickly, the sleep allows her body to regenerate at maximum capacity.

When she is awake, she is either in a deep contemplation or is watching our movements, likely considering if she should accept her role as a slave and submit to me.

However, there is two times in the day that she looks forward to the most, feeding time. The first time she was barely conscious and passed out right after eating the soup, so she didn't realise the taste.

This time, when I fed her, she was like a hungry lion drinking the entire soup as quickly as possible. She is quickly becoming addicted to my cooking, like the rest of the girls.

It looks like the best way to gain someone's trust is to first gain the trust of their stomach. Xue Mei has recovered her speech, and sometimes talks to the girls, mainly Little Jing who likes to tease her often about her innocence.

Currently, I am in the Immortal Realm, practicing my techniques. The five monkey siblings I bought are watching me while eating some bananas.

These monkeys are the second strongest Spirit Beasts after Little Rice, and they constantly beat up the other Spirit Beasts that reside in the Immortal Realm.

When I first entered the Immortal Realm after I bought them, I summoned my Spirit and pressured all the Spirit Beasts, causing them to kneel down to me in reverence.

Little Rice is the boss of the Immortal Realm when I am away, because it controls the entire fruit and herb supply.

If anyone comes near the garden, Little Rice will shoot rice grains at them and whip them. The five monkeys are second in charge to Little Rice and do everything for Little Rice, so it doesn't have to leave the garden.

If they aren't pleasing Little Rice, they are either spending time roaming the Immortal Realm and playing tag or bullying the rest of the Spirit Beasts, causing them endless grief.

The Immortal Realm is already 10km by 10km, so there is plenty of room for all the Spirit Beasts to live in, there is also plenty of fish in the pond, so they can all eat healthy food.

On the other hand, they can also trade in some fish and bones and beg Little Rice for some fruit. Right now, the hierarchy is Me, Little Rice, Monkey siblings, Common Spirit Beasts.

I don't know when this happened, but a wall of sticks and mud has been built around the garden, closing it off from the outside world.

I stop my training as I turn to look at the monkeys, they just stare back at me like idiots, eating their bananas. Well, the Immortal Realm is a lot livelier now that all these Spirit Beasts are around.

Leaving the Immortal Realm, I wake up as I move my body slightly. The girls also awaken shortly after and surprisingly, Xue Mei is also awake.

I give all my girls a morning greeting before I help Xue Mei to sit up in bed, "Good morning, Xue Mei."

Xue Mei looks at me with determination as she says, "Good morning, Master!"

I was a little surprised as I looked at her, seeing the determination in her eyes, I realised she has made up her mind.

But because I stared at her for too long, her expression quickly crumbled as she started blushing, I laughed as I said, "Good girl, I will introduce you to the others today."

Xue Mei nodded her head shyly, I pat her head a couple times before I leave to make her meal.

She has gotten a bit used to living with the five of us, the girls are nice to her since they believe she will be their sister in the future, allowing them to get a bit closer.

After seeing my naked body multiple times and being unable to hide her body from my roaming gazes, she has adapted and no longer makes a commotion, but is still too shy to outright look at me while I'm naked.

I come back after a couple minutes with a soup in hand, I cut the pieces slightly larger to allow Xue Mei to have something to bite on and get used to solid foods.

I feed Xue Mei by the spoonful as she relishes every bite. By the end of it, she has a cute look of satisfaction on her face as she relaxes against the head rest.

Her skin has become healthier and her cheeks have started to fill out, causing more of her beauty to stand out.

I put on some clothes as I tell Xue Mei, "Alright, it's time to get changed."

She has been wearing my shirts this entire time, with Feng Feng's panties. Xue Mei blushes slightly as she nods her head, "Okay, Master…"

I help her change into one of Feng Feng's dresses, the rest of the girls also get out of bed and got dressed, before I carried Xue Mei and left the dorm.

Xue Mei looks around the scenery with excitement and wonder, her slave collar jingling as her head turns from side to side.

She very rarely leaves her clan, spending most of her time cultivating, so something like an academy is an entirely new experience for her.

I introduce the area and a couple of the buildings to her as we walk to the dining hall.

However, we soon enter the populated area of the main campus and come into contact with many students that are also going to the dining hall.

The students start whispering among each other as they look at us, a couple of them are pointing at the slave collar on Xue Mei's neck.

All of us from Old Shrek are well known and popular, so the introduction of another girl is incredibly interesting to them.

Not to mention that she has a slave collar on her neck and looks very skinny, Xue Mei quickly became the centre of attention among the gossiping students.

Xue Mei saw the students pointing at her as they whispered to her friends. She didn't know what they were talking about, but she felt greatly pressured by the multiple pairs of eyes staring at her..

Feeling frightened and afraid, she quickly hid her head in my neck, no longer daring to look around as her body quivered.

I felt Xue Mei's body trembling in fear and felt my heart strings tugged, I glared at the students as I yelled, "Piss off! What is so fun to point at? We are not a circus! Scram, before I slaughter you all!"

I release a bit of killing intent as all the students paled in fright and scattered. I only released a tiny amount of killing intent, otherwise these greenhorns would have crumbled to the ground and soiled themselves.

After all the students scattered, the area around us became deadly quiet. I gently rubbed Xue Mei's back as I said, "It's alright now, they are gone."

She hesitantly lifted her head, tears were already gathered in her eyes as she glanced around. Seeing that nobody was here, she let out a weak sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry, Master… I have never experienced something like that before… I got scared and hid… I won't do it again, Master." Xue Mei apologises quickly, lowering her head as she took a couple glances at my face.

She had just made up her mind to join us but showed weakness right away. She was worried that this act ruined her chances of becoming a part of our team as she felt sad and helpless.

I continue to stroke her back as I console her, "It's fine, you will get used to it. We are famous within the academy, so we naturally attract a lot of attention. If you fight in the Great Spirit Arena, you will lose your fears quickly."

Xue Mei rarely left her Clan and was well respected within it, so she has never had negative rumours about her before. She also spent most of her time cultivating instead of socialising, so she isn't used to this.

"Master, what is the Great Spirit Arena?" Xue Mei had a face of confusion as she asked.

I was a little surprised as I stared at her, "You don't know what the Great Spirit Arena is? It is in every large city."

"Master, I very rarely left my clan, and my clan is far away from any large cities. I only left my clan to gain my Spirit Rings. I am not very knowledgeable about the outside world…" Xue Mei replied.

I felt surprised that Xue Mei was so innocent regarding the world, "The Great Spirit Arena is a place where people fight each other for money. Many people pay to watch Spirit Masters fight each other and even bet on it. I will bring you there when you are all healed up."

Xue Mei lightly nodded her head, "I will do as you say, Master." She was a little excited to see the outside world.

She has been yearning to see what is beyond the walls of her clan, and now she finally has a chance, even if it's not in the conditions she was hoping for.

We continued to walk to the dining hall and started to encounter students again. This time, Xue Mei was prepared and didn't get scared like before, but still felt intimidated as she kept her chin on my shoulder pensively.

Inside the dining hall, all the members of Tang Sect were already sitting at our usual table, I quickly walked over with the girls as I said, "Good morning everyone. This is Xue Mei, the slave that I bought."

Fatty gaze roamed over her body, "She is quite pretty, but you were right, she really is skin and bones." He looked uninterested when looking at her.

Xue Mei was angry when Fatty looked at her body but held back because she was afraid of angering our group.

I sat Xue Mei next to my chair as I sit down with Little Jing, "You don't have to be so scared, they are not unreasonable people."

I introduce Mu Bai and the others to Xue Mei. She is still a little hesitant with them as she gives a weak greeting.

The guys are less expressive and aren't very good with talking, so they mostly just ignored Xue Mei's presence and talked among each other while listening to our conversations.

However, the girls are like gossip machines, and they quickly became friends as they talked about food and clothes.

"Xue Mei, aren't you hungry? You are so skinny, why don't you eat with us?" Xiao Wu asked.

Xue Mei shook her head, "I am alright… Master fed me before we came, I am still having troubles eating solid foods." She had an embarrassed face as she remembered me feeding her.

Rong Rong, who is sitting beside Xue Mei, asks, "Xue Mei, what are your Spirit Abilities? I am also an Auxiliary System Spirit Master, so we might have some synergy together."

Xue Mei looked at me, seeking permission to tell them. I smiled at her action and nodded my head, "I also want to know your Spirit Abilities, it will help us coordinate in the future."

Xue Mei nodded her head and informed us about her Spirit and Spirit Abilities.

Apparently, because her Spirit drains blood along with her Spirit Power, her Spirit Abilities are much stronger compared to a Spirit Master without the condition.

Xue Mei summoned her Spirit, showing an incredibly beautiful and graceful white rose, with a long thorny stem.

I was a little surprised that the rose is white even though her Spirit is called Blood Rose.

"My Spirit is called Blood Rose… Whenever I use a Spirit Ability, the thorny stem of the rose drains blood from my body, dying a petal blood red before it falls off and flies to the target of my Spirit Ability."

"The petals of the rose regenerate quickly, so I do not have to worry about running out of petals, only running out of blood…" Xue Mei's face fell as she mentioned it, looking like she was close to crying.

I gently put a hand on her head as I lightly ruffle her hair, "It's alright, you won't have to worry about those issues in the future, I will deal with them, you only have to do as I say. Now, tell us about your Spirit Abilities."

Xue Mei stared at me, gently nodding her head, "My Spirit Abilities have two effects, usually there is one for buffing and another for de-buffing."

Xue Mei explained each of her Spirit Abilities to us. As she said, she can either amplify or reduce a specific attribute or characteristic.

Her first Spirit Ability is named Muscular Agitation, it agitates the muscles in the body of the target, either strengthening them or weakening their physical strength.

The strengthening effect increases Physical Strength by 40% and the weakening effect decreases Physical Strength by 20%.

Her second Spirit Ability is named Nerve Agitation, by agitating the nerves in the body, it can either amplify or reduce a person's agility. (Agility is reaction time and small movements, doesn't increase move speed and larger speed groups)

The strengthening effect increases Agility by 40% and the weakening effect decreases Agility by 20%.

Her final Spirit Ability is called Wound Agitation, she is able to increase or decrease the blood flow inside a person's body by 20%.

She can use the slowing effect to help prevent bleeding, however it makes the person sluggish because of the slow blood flow.

On the other hand, she can also agitate a wound, causing it to bleed faster.

After listening to her, I nod my head as I say, "Your abilities have quite strong effects and allow a vast variety of strategies to be created.

However, the limitation of extracting blood is an obvious weakness. You will become weaker as the fight drags on, eventually becoming useless. Not to mention the time needed to recover lost blood. Well, I will be able to deal with these problems in the future…"

(A/N: I got Xue Mei's Blood Rose from a thread for creating your own Spirit. The owner of this idea is called "Golden Yaksha" so glory to him. I only changed some things up to suit my liking. I also didn't get permission for it, so hopefully he doesn't come guns blazing at me. Well it's not like I make any money from this so he shouldn't mind.)
