Yu Xiaogong sighed as he stared at his disciple and took just one radish from the pile of vegetables and added it near the ingredients to the porridge.
'Half of this radish should be fine but since I'm eating as well, it shouldn't cause any problems.
I should make sure Xiao San eats these vegetables as little as possible so that what has happened to me won't happen to him.' He thought.
He started cutting the radish into thin slices and put it aside and once the porridge was just about done cooking, he added the radish slices to it at the end.
The aroma of the porridge filled the whole room as the porridge was ready to serve.
Yu Xiaogong felt the craving in his stomach first, as the aroma spread. He quickly brought the pot to the dining table and placed it in the middle of the table.
Keeping the porridge for the last, both master and disciple ate the best dishes and bread eagerly and quickly, like they were running from something and finished the other dishes in record time.
Both of them stared at each other and Yu Xiaogong took the pot and poured the porridge in a small bowl first and gave it to Tang San first then poured the remaining into his own bowl.
The moment Tang San took a spoon full of the porridge and put it in his mouth, his taste buds exploded with euphoria, he swallowed it after a few bites and felt his whole body energized.
'What kind of ecstasy elixir is this? Just one spoonful made me feel relaxed and erased my fatigue and even completely healed the ache from my hands?'
Tang San thought astonished and started eating shortly to savor it.
Yu Xiaogong on the other hand felt like crying as tears glistened at the corner of his eyes as he recalled the nostalgic taste.
He took a slow deliberate spoonful and savored it just like his disciple.
…
Meanwhile somewhere else, to be precise, in Star Luo Empire, Duke Zhu's mansion a Little girl who just celebrated her 6th birthday is seen to be getting ready to awaken her Martial Soul.
'It's already time for Qing'er to awaken her Martial Soul. I really hope I don't have to fight her as well.
Having to fight sister Zhulin in a few years is already draining my sanity.
Qing'er please, don't awaken our family's inherited Martial Soul.' thought a girl who was watching the awakening ceremony as she hoped and prayed for a miracle.
Off to the side, Zhulin stared at the woman with wariness.
'Who would've thought the aloof yet "doting" elder sister Zhuyun would actually show up for Qing'er's awakening.
Is she afraid Qing'er will awaken "Hell Spirit Cat" with a higher innate Soul Power than her, and become her competition?
No, that can't be right, little Qing'er is too simple and cute, which made Zhuyun dote on her the most before this.
So that means sister Zhuyun is afraid she will have to fight Zhuqing?' Zhulin thought and was surprised at the conclusion she reached as she stared at Zhuyun.
Duke Zhu stood in front of Zhuqing and began the awakening ceremony.
He took out the awakening stones and injected his Soul Power into them and made a formation around Zhuqing.
As the black soul power was injected into the stones, the runes on them lit up with golden energy.
Zhuqing, who closed her eyes, was shortly lifted into the air as a Golden sphere of energy formed around her and slowly injected the golden energy into her body.
Hanrui who was watching this spectacle to the side quickly made a seal and sealed off the room, so no one from outside can notice if an abnormality were to occur and whatever happens stay in the room.
The moment Hanrui sealed the room the stones crumbled into dust and the golden sphere started absorbing the Soul Power in the vicinity greedily.
Hanrui sighed and threw a high grade Void Stone into the golden sphere, which turned into a Golden egg absorbing its energy in seconds and solidified around Zhu Zhuqing, trapping her within.
Duke Zhu who was injecting the Soul Power was thrown back a few steps as the awakening stones crumbled and turned into dust, making him stunned.
Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhulin who were watching anxiously widened their eyes and their mouths opened but no words came as they felt the Soul Power being drained from the room.
Duke Zhu turned his head to look at Hanrui, who was the only one who reacted to the situation calmly with a questioning look.
But Hanrui shook his head as he shrugged. "Don't look at me, although I have some hypotheses about this situation I don't have ready-made answers.
We have to wait for Zhuqing to wake up, to see where this is going." He said.
Just then the golden egg shell cracked, and crumbled then got absorbed into Zhuqing who looked taller than before.
Then a woman in white and black hanfu with black cat ears and black tail, with purple accessories materialized behind her.
Every single member of the Zhu family in the proximity felt their bloodline suppressed as they looked at the woman, who looked like an adult version of Zhuqing.
"T… This… Is this bloodline suppression?" Duke Zhu muttered.
