But before the group leaves Heng's office, he spoke as he looks at the couple.
"I will have the servants prepare a joint room for you guys"
The couple easily nodded their heads at his remark. They were married so it made sense for them to share a room together. But just by looking at the two servants' faces, the couple could suspect that they were not so happy about that. As the group leave the room, the tomboy maid spoke with disdain in her voice.
"My lady I don't approve of this, sleeping in the same room as this man sounds like a horrible idea. "
Zhihui could not help but smile, as she pats the tomboy maid's head. Messing her hair up a bit as she spoke.
"Worry not, Mors is not that kind of person, plus if he tries to do anything funny, I can just beat him up"
Zhihui said as she looks at Mors, his face saying that if they fought again, he would win at all costs. Making her giggle a bit, as Huan puffs up her cheeks and stomps her feet on the ground.
"If you say so, my lady.. But I and the old man will be nearby so help you just in case"
Fen nodded his head, while he has not fully approved of Mors and Zhihui's relationship. Mor's character is top-notch, as such, he does not need to worry about such a thing. Plus, his lady is smart and strong, if the worse happens, she can defend herself.
"Now let's stop talking about this, we need to worry about that party."
As the mention of the party enters her ears, Huan's mood brightens up. When it comes to making her lady the most beautiful, there is no one more excited than Huan. And it is scientifically impossible for someone else to be. With a cute jump, Huan grabs the arm of her lady as she spoke in rapid-fire mode.
"Leave it to me, my lady! I would go and look for a good dress for you and makeup!"
Huan said as she pulls her lady, to their destination the market. Leaving behind Mors and Fen, as the two-man looked at each other, Fen spoke in a cold tone.
"Follow me"
"Yes sir"
Mors easily answers as he follows the middle-aged man toward the training grounds of the mansion. As Fen plans to train Mors so that he can better protect Zhihui, as well as to see how dedicated he is to her and the Draconic Lore.
Like this, the party was split, as the two groups spend the rest of the day doing their own stuff. Only meeting back as the sun went down and their bellies demanded food. Thankfully Heng is a good host, as he has already prepared a great deal of food to feed them. Normally Heng does not order this much food, but just enough to fill up his cultivator body.
But he is hosting an event the next day and housing the young lady of the sect and Wu clan. He can't feed her subpar food, that will be an insult to the sect and Wu clan. As the two groups enter the dining room, after showering their dirty and sweaty bodies. The look on Mors shows how tired he is, as the training that Fen put him through reminds him of his boot camp days.
Zhihui was not any better, as she has spent the evening as Huan's personal doll. Putting on countless dresses and trying different types of makeup and perfumes. Huan on the other hand looks as bright as the sun, and sparks around her smiling face. Making people wonder how her facial muscles aren't tired.
"Please make yourself home and eat to your heart's contents"
Heng said, his arms spread, as he welcomes the group to sit down and eat. Of course, the two servants, Huan, and Fen did not sit down with their lady to eat. As servants, they are supposed to eat later, after their master. Something that Zhihui does not like. As she looks at them both.
"Sit down and eat"
"But my-"
"Sit down and eat"
She did not even let Fen finish, as her tone turned serious and demanding. The two servants with nothing to say as they did what their lady commanded. As they sat down and look at all the luxurious food in front of them. Heng servants came in and started to serve the food to the group and their master.
In front of the group, lays a porcelain plate. With beautiful paintings of flowers on them. On the plate, is a portion of white rice. Its fine grains do not harm their teeth, are soft, and are flavorful. Next to the rice portion, is another portion of vegetables.
Form cut carrots, tomatoes, lettuce, broccoli, and much more. These vegetables are bath in a black sauce, and perfectly seasoned. But soon came the main character, as a nice piece of juice steak lay in the center of the plate. Its juices spill out of it with a single touch of a sharp knife, it breaks into pieces. As Mors takes a bite of the steak, with some rice. The flavors combine and mesh in his mouth.
Making him realize that whatever he was eating before was trash compared to this, Huan and Fen also have the same reaction as Mors. The only ones for who this meal was normal, were Heng and Zhihui. But only one plate of food was not enough, as the servants put next to the plate a small bowl full of steaming hot soup.
The soup has perfectly crafted noodles, vegetables float around the broth. Steam potatoes poking from the broth. Soon another plate landed next to the pain dish. A wooden basket with 5 steaming pork meat and potato buns enters their field of vision.
With their meal fully prepared, the group started to eat as if they have never eaten before. Zhihui laughed softly at the look of her servants and husband.
