Life Drain System

    "... While it only takes 3 minutes touching your skin, it is much faster and worse if you swallow it. Plus they eye itchiness you felt before, was a beginning symptom of it." Yueliang replies in semi detail this time.

    "I understand the situation, however what do we do now? It would be taken care of just by getting rid of the chemical mixture right?" Huoli asks.

​​

    "Sorry to disappoint, but that is not the case. There is also the air that must be cleaned and everything. However there is no need to dwell on such things, as Yang is dealing with it now. So in the mean time, shall we go out to dinner as originally planned?" Yue replies hopingly.

    A voice intercedes before anyone else can speak saying. "Please excuse my interruption, although who is this Yang you mentioned? The only people I have seen in our current group, are the ones standing here now." Qing asks quite confused and curious.

    Yang replies warily saying. "A cultivation technique of sorts."

    Shen Hu using soul communication says. "Wow, that is cold, calling your brother, and friend a technique. Never the less, I understand why you did it."

    Feeling more guilt than before, Yue quickly thinks to Yang. \'I am sorry. I am just trying not to release the information about you to those who do not...\'

    Quickly interrupting, Yang says. "It is alright, I understand why you said what you said. It hurt to hear, but I forgive you." Thus inadvertently making Yueliangs\' guilt grow.

    "So does everyone in this town cultivate?" Qing asks after having thought for a few moments.

    "Not everyone to my knowledge, however that does not mean they have not done it without me knowing. Either way as long as they are not doing anything wrong then it does not matter too much to me. I trust all of my people." Yueliang replies before saying. "Do you ask because you are interested?"

      "Interested in cultivation yes, interested in learning or practicing, not really. Plus even if I was, more than likely, what happened when you healed me would happen again." She explains.

      "Well if you really are interested in learning, then that problem can be fixed pretty quickly. However if you just want to learn more about it, ask on of the tigers. I am sure they would not mind explaining it to you." Yue starts off excited then it dies down towards the end.

    "By the way, I have been meaning to ask. Why can those tigers take human form? I have been trying to keep myself from freaking out since I saw it earlier. Could you please explain." Qing pleads Yueliang for the answer.

      "Well that is sort of a loaded question. However if you want the short version, they are divine tigers, and it has to do with cultivation, as well as the creation of the universes. Either way, I am sure they would be better at explaining it than me." Yueliang says while dumping some of the load of things to do off of his shoulders.

    Hearing this, Qing turns around and looks at the tigers with a thirst for knowledge so strong they worried she might eat them for a split second. Then Shen Hu changes to his human form and says. "If you are curious, I am sure Huoli would be more than happy to have girl time with you. You could then talk as you please." Shen Hu says ditching the responsibility as well as he can see the exhaustion coming from a kilometer away as well. 

      Listening to his response, Huoli gets excited to have a female friend to talk to beside just Meiren. However at the same time, she sighs because she has to explain something that she feels is common knowledge, or at least should be.

    "Okay, just curious, what does all this have to do with where we are going to eat? My stomach has been growling for a little while now." Xue Meiren says innocently as if she were a child. Thus causing all those around her to laugh a little before Yueliang replies. It is alright, I know just the place, and it is not to far from here.

    "Really, where?" She asks.

    "I guess you will just have to wait and see, won\'t you." Yueliang teases her.

    Hearing this, she visibly puts on a pouting face, while sighing. "Hmph."

    With that being said, the group heads off, following Yueliang into the distance. While only Shen Hu and Qing knew where they were going, the other two had made a couple guesses. Whether they were right or wrong, only time would tell.

    Soon they arrived before a nice looking shop, that looks as though it came straight out of a fantasy novel. Having windowed stone walls and roof but dark wooden frames decorating it for elegance. Fire lanterns that seem to never go out hanging from the walls and a sign with the name Blakes\' Gourmet. An open wooden fence surrounding it with a garden on either side of the stone path.

    They all walk in, to see the glass tables and glass chairs with cushions. A cool but not cold air inside, with ice sculptures surrounded by fire, mini tornadoes delivering the food, and many more mystical things all around the shop, making it seem as though one was in another world. That seems to be saying something considering they already are.

    In the center of the room there are four arenas. Each having something different with in, and with a circular hole in the roof above it for those on the second floor to watch as well. Yueliang thought to himself seeing this. \'Although I built each of the buildings in this town, that I know of, I do not recall building it anything like this. And for that matter, how exactly is it bigger inside then out? I mean unless they made a super mini small world.\' Yueliang pondered while the others glare at him wondering when he is going to get them a table.

    A few seconds later, Yueliang comes out of his daze and seeing their glares he shows a look as if he does not care, to make in seems as if it were important. Immediately afterward he notices a lady that seems to be made of water coming towards their group who where waiting by the front lectern.

    "Sorry for the wait esteemed guests. Is it a table for five?" She asks in a sweet voice.

    Yueliang answers. "Yes."

    "Wonderful, by the way I am your hostess and waitress Yinshui Ji. It is a pleasure to meet you, however before I take you to your table, do you want to be on the first or second floor?"

    "Second floor, however I have a quick question before that. Are you a water elemental?" Yueliang asks curiously.

    "Haha, no sorry if that disappoints you. I am a slime, however this is an appearance I take for the customers and it is one of the easier forms to transport things for." Yinshui Ji replies hoping to not disappoint the customers.

    "Do not worry, I am not disappointed. In fact, I am more interested. However sorry for asking personal question." Yueliang says with a calm face, yet having excitement in his eyes as if one could see a meteor shower in his eyes.

    Hearing this the hostess\' cheeks swirl a little as if she were blushing. Although before anyone could notice she turned around and starts walking to the right where a wide set of stairs are located, saying. "This way to your table esteemed guest."

    The group follows quickly behind, not wanting to waste any more time before they get to eat. Yueliang on the other hand is in no rush, but keeps up so as to not make them go hungry even longer. They swiftly make their way up the stairs.

    At the top of the stairs, Yinshui Ji asks. "One more question, do you want an arena viewing, or booth seating?"

    Before Yueliang could even get a sound out of his mouth, Shen Hu says "arena viewing", with the others excitedly nodding in agreement.

    "Alright, thank you. This way please." She says as she leads them to the other side of the huge circular hole in the floor. It being large enough that if the second floor fell, it would not even touch the arena.

    Upon arriving on the other side Yinshui Ji says. "Here are your seats." Then she reaches into her bodies chest pulling out menus\' for each of them, before placing them on the mini bar like railing that goes around the hole. This being there so that one could eat or drink while watching the different matches.

    "I cannot wait to watch one of these fights." Shen Hu says while changing into his human form, and Huoli doing the same. Xue Meiren just jumps onto the chair making herself comfortable, while Qing sits down like one would expect of a martial artist. Yueliang taking his seat elegantly as he was raised.
