Throughout the night, Ming Ze slept very soundly.
He woke up when he felt the touch of sunlight from the cracks above the window.
Opening his eyes, his body instantly became refreshed.
To his surprise, he could smell an extremely delicious morning meal from outside, the aroma of toast that seemed to be smeared with a marvelous kind of butter.
The sunlight had only shone a little but there was already the aroma of food, Ming Ze wondered if Xia Qinghe had woken up early.
He quickly stood up, smoothing his hair and robes before walking to the door.
When he opened it, he actually instantly found the figure of Xia Qinghe who was arranging the dishes on the table last night.
Her hair was wet, indicating that she had finished bathing.
Today, she did not wear yesterday's dress, she changed it into a light blue short dress, only slightly past her knees.
The fragrance she smelled in the morning overpowered the flower garden after the rain. The entire room was completely fragrant, making Ming Ze feel intoxicated just by smelling it.
People who were discouraged with life would probably instantly perk up again if they walked into this room while looking at Xia Qinghe's beautiful figure.
When looking at him, the woman said, "What a coincidence that you got up now, you can have breakfast first, Fellow Daoist."
She made an inviting gesture. Her voice was even more beautiful in the morning.
"Thank you!" Ming Ze walked straight to his chair last night, not refusing the woman's offer.
This morning, the main menu was indeed toast, filled with fine nuts that seemed to be very delicious, melting like cheese. It was accompanied by a cup of warm milk that had been mixed with cocoa.
To eat it, Ming Ze used a knife and fork.
"Did you sleep well last night, Fellow Daoist?" Xia Qinghe didn't participate in breakfast, she just sat down and asked him to start the conversation.
"In fact it was my best sleep, it's very rare that I have such a relaxing time like when I live here," he replied.
It wasn't nonsense, of course. On earth, he was too busy with his world, playing games and still having to complete various college assignments.
Here, that no longer existed. He really enjoyed that moment of doing nothing.
Xia Qinghe seemed speechless after hearing his answer.
Not that there was anything wrong, but if she needed to say something to please her guest, it obviously required her to allow him to stay longer.
She didn't mind, but was a little scared, worried that she herself was enjoying the moments with him too much.
"By the way, I'll be leaving after this breakfast," Ming Ze added suddenly, shocking Xia Qinghe.
"Where do you want to go?" she asked, looking hurried.
She herself suddenly felt uncomfortable hearing he was leaving, let alone so suddenly.
Ming Ze felt like laughing at that, but this was something he had already decided.
Staying here while looking at the beauty was something very pleasant, it could definitely make him live without being bored. It was just that, that beauty didn't seem to be ready, he naturally couldn't stay here constantly.
He needed to travel the world to see various things in this world, something that did not exist in his world.
"I'm interested in the Central Region, so I'll go there first," Ming Ze replied.
Although uncomfortable, Xia Qinghe tried her best to hide her emotions.
"That's a more interesting region," she said, agreeing to Ming Ze going there.
"Do you have any good advice?" Ming Ze asked since he had gone to the Central Region without a clear destination.
"Ancient Heaven Academy, come there if you can. It's the most interesting place in the Central Region," the woman replied.
As it turned out, it was the place she suggested. Ming Ze already knew about the academy, and he was indeed quite interested.
"I'll be there," he said.
After that short conversation, they didn't speak again.
Xia Qinghe seemed to have run out of topics to talk about.
She was starting to feel lonely as she was about to lose the friend she was comfortable with.
Although they had only met for one day, her comfort with him made him feel as if they had been together for a long time.
Her expression became increasingly uncomfortable as the food on Ming Ze's plate became less and less.
Because he ate non-stop, the plate eventually became empty.
"Miss Xia, thank you for everything," he said, as if ready to leave.
Xia Qinghe who pretended to be calm swallowed her saliva secretly.
She replied, "Fellow Daoist, I am the one who should thank you because your help for me is too great, I might not be able to repay it."
Her demeanor looked very humble when she said that.
Ming Ze smiled, then said, "there is no greater kindness than the hospitality of a host to his guest. Here, take a gift from me."
He took out a small, sealed wooden box.
Although it seemed simple, Xia Qinghe should have felt a tremendous aura of life inside.
He had put a hundred leaves from the Tree of Life into the wooden box, especially for her.
As a cultivator full of ambition, she would definitely visit various dangerous places. Getting injured was a common thing in her life. And what she needed was something to heal those wounds.
"Fellow Daoist, what is this?" Xia Qinghe looked very curious so he asked.
She didn't plan to open it now because she thought it was better to open the gift after the gift-giver left.
"You'll find out for yourself later," Ming Ze replied as he stood up.
After that, he actually took a step towards the door.
Xia Qinghe was no longer interested in observing the wooden box.
Her eyes stared at his back as he opened the door.
Yesterday they met and today they parted, who knew when they could meet again.
Xia Qinghe subconsciously prayed that they could meet again as soon as possible.
At this time of the day, there were quite a few people wandering around.
They were all shocked again because Ming Ze came out of Xia Qinghe's pavilion again. This was proof that he was really staying there.
Then what were they doing?
Ming Ze didn't think about their questions.
He flew straight into the sky, heading towards the sect gate to leave the territory.
After that, he flew directly eastward, toward the Central Region.
