Huan and Ru were in the kitchen making some breakfast for their masters. They were making a traditional breakfast. Their hands were busy at work, but their mouths were not.
"They really are going at it"
"I don't know how they got the energy to go at it for a whole day"
Huan says, recalling when Mors came back yesterday from his month-long tower clearing. It was a surprise for sure, they were even thinking of preparing a feast. But he and Zhihui have not come out of the study, so the feast has been postponed till the couple finishes their lovemaking.
"I am surprised the lady hasn't gotten pregnant yet. The young master is very energetic"
"Apparently they are using some sort of elixir to stop her from getting pregnant"
"Thankfully we don't get to worry about that"
Huan blushed a bit as she hear Ru remark. The two of them continue to cook as they speak.
"We have to clean up once they finish right?"
"Don't remind me of that….we have to go in prepared"
"How?"
"Well, first we cover our mouth and nose with a cloth. Then we cover our hands with gloves. Then we put on old clothes on top of our current clothes."
"I will get myself mentally prepared"
"Good"
Huan said to Ru as the two of them continue to cook breakfast. It did not take long for the final thing to be cooked and for them to start setting up the table. As they set up the table, they both hear footsteps. Soon two figures show themselves.
Both were a mess; their hair was not well-kept. Their eyes were tired and there were multiple bite marks and scratch marks around their bodies. Huan and Ru both bow down to the masters of the house.
"Good morning Master Ming and Lady Zhihui. Breakfast has been made and served. Please enjoy it"
"AH! Great I am famished"
'You must have lost a lot of protein'
Huan said in her own mind as she and Ru left the room to let the couple eat in peace.
"Ready Ru?"
"As ready as I can be"
Mors and Zhihui sit down at the table. The couple looks at each other with a small taint of pink on their cheeks. The table had plates of steam buns and dumplings. There was a bowl in front of them that is full of rice noodles and vegetables.
The couple eats like they haven't been fed in days. The couple ate in silence, as all they could focus on was eating the food in front of them. After 20 minutes of eating, the couple put down their chopsticks as every plate lies empty in front of them.
"Nothing beats a home cook meal"
Zhihui looks at her husband as she smiles softly.
"Welcome back dear"
Mors smiles at his lovely wife.
"I am back" He covers his mouth as he yawns. "I think we should go to our room and sleep"
"No funny business ok?"
"There won't be, I still need to recharge. Lost a lot of protein."
"…."
Zhihui did not respond to that as she stood up from her seat. Mors follows her as the couple go to their room. Both of them close the door behind them. The moment they lay in the bed and their heads hit the pillow. Sleep took hold of them as their eyes shot tight.
The couple sleep through the whole day and only woke up the next morning, once breakfast was done. The couple ate breakfast with their disciples. Enjoying the meal and of course the jokes done at them.
"Ah man, being young must be great. A whole day going at it. Good job kiddo"
Fen said as he pats Mor's shoulder.
"Zhihui you better start making room for future children. At this pace, it shouldn't take too long for such a thing to happen"
Fen laughs at his own joke, Huan and Ru trying their best to not laugh. Mors look at Fen with a small blush on his face.
"Sounds like you want to do some sparing"
"Hahaha- what?"
"I need to see how well you guys are doing in your training. So, you three betters be in the backyard at the end of this"
Shivers went down the three disciple's spines. Zhihui laughs softly as she looks at Mors.
"Go easy on them Mors, also pass by the office before you go ahead and beat them up. We got to discuss the project."
"Alright, I promise I won't hurt them too much"
Zhihui laughs as the group finishes eating their breakfast in peace. The three disciples got to work before they went to the backyard to get ready for the beating they are about to receive. Mors and Zhihui found themselves in the office. Mors sat on the desk as he look at the papers that Zhihui gave him.
"As I expected, the land is too big for just one person to constantly feed it Qi. Were there any effects from the crops that grew?"
"None, I could feel a tiny bit of Qi in the crops. When finish cooking there was no effect. Plus, it was hard to constantly use Qi while cooking"
"Do you think spirit stones can fix that?"
"Fix what? The cooking?"
"No, the growing. If we plant a spirit stone in the ground, will it release Qi and feed the plants?"
"Um….that could work. This project is slowly becoming more expensive Mors. "
"Yea it is. But if this works, we will revolutionize the whole cooking world!"
"Then we can sell it for a massive fortune"
"Not that we need the cash, but more never hurt"
Zhihui nods her head as she grabs the documents from Mor's hand and puts them back in order.
"So how was your first tower?"
"Oh, it was great! I do have some news for you"
"Oh? What is it?"
"We are Death"
"Come again?"
"I am Second Death Reincarnation, and you are First Death Regression."
"…..Shit….are we-"
"Corrupted? Oh, for sure"
"So that is why the life corruption from the wand has not been a problem"
Zhihui narrows her eyes as she thinks of something.
"Mors, do you sometimes feel like something is watching you?"
"Yes.. Especially when I am thinking of things related to this new Death identity or gaining a deeper understanding of the world"
"….I think whoever is watching us is the clue as to why you got reincarnated and I regress"
[The World smiles]
"I got another piece of information"
"Great, what is it?"
"The system does not work in Towers, it calls them [World Bridges]. And I think it's because our points come from destroying fate. Fate seems to not be a natural part of this world, but was created by someone else."
"A God?"
"That is also my theory"
