mutton.

Immediately after he emptied that bowl of soup, Xia Fei felt a refreshing clarity.
A strange energy began swimming inside his body, nursing it.

This was the food supplement Fuchen had been full of praise about.
Slowly and gently, it lacked any of the violent reaction Xia Fei felt when he drank medicines.
It was clearly beneficial to his body.

Xia Fei drank three bowls worth of the soup until Fuchen finally could not stand it anymore and joined in on the feasting.
The two snatched up food to eat as they went, a plate for one, a bow! for the other.
In no time at all, the food laid out on the table was polished off!

The Fef’s old and young, who were seated at the side, stare dumbfoundedly at this sight.
The two guests were said to be legendary experts; was this how legendary experts dined?

Night, in a narrow alley.

Both Fuchen and Xia Fei did not enjoy seeing the bleary-eyed crying of the Fei family, despite them all being filled with gratitude.
As such, the two left the first chance they got.
Xia Fei, of course, made sure that he was paid every pearl he ought to receive.

“So how was it? Isn’t it great to follow this old man around? Besides the good food and drink, you even managed to eam a bit of money.
If you must know, the Fei family is under my protection.
If this were anyone else, I wouldn’t go even if they offered an obscene amount of money,” said Fuchen happily, a

hand rubbing his bulging stomach.

Xia Fei nodded.
“Spiritualists sure are a different breed, respected everywhere they go.”

Fuchen shook his head.
“No, that’s not right.
We are Orthodox Spiritualists.
Remember: There’s a fundamental difference between us and the average Spiritualists, and that’s they’re all just cheap imitations.”

Xia Fei lit a cigarette and said nothing in response.
Fuchen seemed to be very proud of his identity, but Xia Fei did not share this sentiment.
Black cat or white, a good cat was one that could catch mice.
Be it a regular Spiritualist, an Orthodox Spiritualist, or something else, this was hardly important to

him.

For three whole days, Xia Fei and Fuchen went everywhere on Golden Eagle 19, dining on good food.
Of course, they ate the most quality ingredients.
Xia Fei could feel his body recovering speedily with each passing day.

Just that the price of the food was astronomical, and Xia Fei would foot the bill every time, which lightened his purse at a surprising rate.

‘Everything comes at a price.’ A believer of the price theory like Xia Fei, of course, knew this very well.
If he attempted to use precious medicinal ingredients to heal himself, he would most likely be spending just as much, and it would even harm his body immensely.

Now that he could rely on food to nourish his body, it was akin to advancing while asleep.
Though he spent a lot on this, Xia Fei still benefitted greatly from it.

Nightfall.

Xia Fei and Fuchen sat on a rooftop garden and chatted while sharing a pot of tea.
They exchanged interesting stories and anecdotes with each other, and before they knew it, midnight came and went.

Lifting his head up into the sky, Xia Fei could not help but sigh.
He had no idea how Avril was doing right now or how his comrades in the Law Realm were faring.
He did not know if they had already recovered or if they were still recovering.

Fuchen sneaked a peek at Xia Fei and asked, “Something on your mind?”

Xia Fei nodded.
These few days he spent with Fuchen had made him realize that the other was actually a decent person.
He was merely a bit overly enthusiastic when it came to food, but he actually kept a low profile, going from places to places like any average person.
He did not seem to care about the

conflict between warriors and Spiritualists, almost as if he was detached from everything.

“Actually, I’m not from the Alpha Universe.” Xia Fei admitted this.

‘The moment he said those words, Radix began to rebut his claim, “How can you say that? Your grandfather ultimately hailed from the Aurora Clan, so you can be considered one quarter Alphite.”

“Ah, so you’re an Aurorean.” Fuchen nodded.

*Shock*

The expression on Xia Fei’s face changed instantly.
Both Radix and he did not know that Fuchen could hear the mental communication between them! Did that mean that the conversation they had over the last few days had all been heard by Fuchen?

Fuchen frowned.
“Are you surprised? I’m an Orthodox Spiritualist, so of course I can hear the conversation between you and your soul servant.
In our line, having a soul servant is very normal, and you only have one.”

Radix gritted his teeth.
“I’m no slave.
I’m a Golden Sword Guard of the Aurora Clan.”

Fuchen thought nothing of this.
“What’s the difference? You’re still serving Xia Fei to the best of your abilities, attached to his weapon.
Any day he feels upset, he can just extinguish your life just like that.”

Radix pouted, no longer saying a word as he wallowed in silence.

Fuchen continued speaking.
“Tell me about what’s troubling you.
While this elder is still living, I may be of help to you.
We Orthodox Spiritualists are great in every way, except for our lack of immortality; perhaps it’s because an Unrestricted Soul Spirit Mark is too powerful, and it affects the universe’s

balance.”

Thus, Xia Fei told Fuchen his experience in the Law Realm, including the conflict with the Inverse and his grandfather’s origins.
He did not leave any detail out.

Fuchen gave a slight nod after he was done listening, then closed his eyes, and contemplated.

A good half of an hour passed before Fuchen slowly opened his eyes.
“Aurorean.
Quite interesting.”

Smiling, Fuchen got up, headed into a room, and said, “We’re leaving Golden Eagle 19 first thing tomorrow momin;

“Where are we going?” asked Xia Fei curiously.
In the past two days where the two spent going on their gastronomy journey, not once had Fuchen revealed his intention of leaving, yet he had actually decided to leave after tonight’s talk?

“Since you have the blood of Auroreans running through your veins, you of course have to make your return to the clan,” said Fuchen matter-of-factly.
“As for that woman you speak of, I have a pretty good guess on who she is..”
