Rayne returned to his dormitory, only to see Ah Yin standing at the door.
"Good morning. You didn't sleep, Ah Yin?"
Rayne asked as he walked over to her.
"No, young master. I've been sleeping for all these years, so I don't feel sleepy. I just cultivated."
Ah Yin smiled and replied.
She bent down and softly touched his silver white hair, smothering it. Then, she adjusted his collars and looked at him with appreciation, which made him feel a bit weird.
He always felt that Ah Yin seemed to be trying a bit too hard to show her dependence on him. It's almost blatantly deliberate.
Is she hinting something?
But, no matter what the hint, he's not at a proper physical age to respond to it.
He also felt the change in the natural life force in the surroundings.
He looked around, and sure enough, some of the blue silver grasses have grown quite a bit, in the surroundings. Which is quite evidently because of Ah Yin's cultivation process.
"Is that girl Xiao Wu still sleeping?"
"That child was talking about her life experience last night and slept late."
"Hmm.."
Ah Yin also told Rayne about the matters Xiao Wu told her, especially about her two super beast brothers.
He was also surprised to find that the soul core Xiao Wu had as a soul beast was actually a Space Soul Core. He was under the impression that Xiao Wu had a soul core based on her bloodline, like most other soul beasts.
But, after thinking about it, it makes sense for her to have possessed a space soul core. After all, she has quite a lot of space-type soul skills.
Apparently, it was because of her mother's experience and the help of three other hundred thousand year soul beasts that, Xiao Wu managed to condense a soul core of such a high level.
Rayne went in and washed up. When he came out of the bath, Xiao Wu had already gotten up.
Seeing her, Rayne greeted her, then went to the kitchen. Ah Yin followed him, and Xiao Wu followed after her.
Because of his current immature stature, Rayne had to float in the air to make up for the insufficient height.
He looked at the two people who followed him into the kitchen.
"Ah Yin, how are your cooking skills?"
"I know a bit. Please allow me to cook for you, young master."
"No need. Just assist me for now."
Rayne took out the ingredients that he had specifically collected last night, and asked Ah Yin to help process it.
Xiao Wu was ignored throughout this.
Xiao Wu asked, a bit upset, "Why aren't you asking me?"
Hearing Xiao Wu's unhappy tone, Rayne looked at her and rhetorically said.
"Why would I ask something so obvious? It's clear that you don't know cooking."
Xiao Wu was very unhappy and even angry at his statement.
"What do you mean by that?! Why are you assuming that I don't know how to cook?!"
Rayne looked at her, as if looking at a fool. He sighed and asked.
"How long have you been to human world? It won't exceed half a year, right? You, who don't even know much of the common sense in human society. Who in their right mind would assume you to know cooking that caters human taste?"
"…" Xiao Wu blushed hard, her face was red like an apple.
She wasn't blushing due to shyness, but from anger and shame.
Rayne sighed at Xiao Wu's unreasonable indignation. Xiao Wu, at this stage has a very bad temper, extremely irritable at the smallest of grievances.
Xiao Wu, herself, was very upset with Rayne.
She remembered Rayne (jokingly) calling her his future bride, which she, unfortunately, took seriously.
However till now, she didn't feel any affection or doting from Rayne, except for protection. While she appreciated it, she expects more affection, care and intimacy from Rayne.
Unfortunately for her, Rayne has no such intention. No matter how much of a scumbag he is, he is not rotten enough to lust after a six-year-old little girl.
Even by douluo continent's standards of accelerated growth due to soul master's cultivation and soul power, six year is still taking it too far.
"…"
Rayne didn't pay much attention to Xiao Wu's constantly changing expression, and took out two dead soft boned rabbits from his treasure storage, each of them above hundred years old in cultivation.
Rayne went to a soul hunting forest to catch some soul beasts for food. Since the number of soft boned rabbits were in abundance, and the fact that they catered to his taste, he caught a few of them and stored them in his Gate of Ashburn.
And because of the special trait 'Golden Rule' of his Gate of Ashburn, he got soul bones for every soul beast he hunted, regardless of their age.
It's just that… he seemed to have somewhat ignored a small, or maybe, a big problem concerning Xiao Wu.
Sure enough, at the sight of the two dead rabbits, Xiao Wu was shocked and furious.
"Rayne!! How could you do this?!"
Her eyes turned red with anger as she jumped at Rayne, shocking Ah Yin, who didn't expect such a thing.
Unfortunately, no matter how angry she was, she was stopped by Rayne's infinity. She can't get past it.
Rayne looked at the fuming Xiao Wu and came to his senses.
The rabbits he caught for his meal.
He had almost ignored this girl's violent and almost hypocritical behaviour regarding soul beasts, and her own kin.
"What? Why are you making a fuss all of a sudden?"
Rayne asked, sighing.
As he deactivated his infinity, Xiao Wu rushed to him and pulled his collar.
"What do you mean why?! You killed rabbits! How could you kill them when they are so cute!!"
"Why should I care about whether they are cute or not? Their cuteness can't fill my stomach."
"You!! Didn't you say you want me to be your future bride? Then you should stop killing rabbits, no.. you should stop killing soul beasts!"
"…" Rayne.
"…" Ah Yin.
Ah Yin was startled by Xiao Wu's words, and even somewhat changed her views about this rabbit girl.
She too is a soul beast, but she is fully aware of how the soul beast hierarchy and food chain works.
But it seems, Xiao Wu is different from her. Xiao Wu looked so ignorant and hypocritical in Ah Yin's eyes at the moment.
And, Xiao Wu's words about being Rayne's future bride made Ah Yin secretly upset.
She is determined to whip Xiao Wu's ass with her blue silver whip in the name of training.
Rayne, on the other hand, raised his eyebrows slightly at Xiao Wu's words.
He remembered that he seemed to have joked about something like that a couple of days ago. But he didn't expect her to take this seriously.
"Xiao Wu, you didn't take that joke seriously, did you?"
"You! You… were lying?" Xiao Wu asked in disbelief.
"Rather than saying that I am lying. It's better to say that, the current you don't meet my standards."
"…!!" Xiao Wu.
"…" Ah Yin.
"What's with that look of shock? Do you really think I would accept just anyone as one of my lifelong partners? I am the honored one, okay. I have pretty high standards for my wives."
Rayne really isn't lying. Even if a woman is the most beautiful, Rayne will not give her a second look if he determined that, this certain woman will bring chaos to his present and future life.
Just like he stayed away from Qian Renxue, after getting to know her twisted obsession with him, which definitely was not love. At least, as far as he knew.
"… wives? Young master, why the plural? Is it a speech mistake?" Ah Yin asked in an unsure tone.
She didn't know why, but she instinctively felt targeted by Rayne's words.
"Ah Yin, curiosity can be 'fatal' sometimes, in many different ways."
"…" Ah Yin was completely confused.
Rayne looked at the angry and upset Xiao Wu, who kept on pulling his collar, hitting and punching him.
"Leaving aside the bride matter, why are you even so upset? It's not like I'll make you eat rabbit meat. Those are for me and Ah Yin. Don't you see those vegetables, especially those carrots? I'll make you something delicious, vegetarian dish. So just go back and wait quietly."
Rayne said softly, hoping to calm down Xiao Wu's anxiety.
"You still can't eat soul beasts!! If not, I'll never talk to you again!! Just eat vegetables. They are healthy too!"
Xiao Wu was still stubborn about this matter.
Rayne, himself, felt a bit annoyed. So he said.
"Xiao Wu, I heard that you have two brothers who are 100,000-year-old soul beasts with super bloodline?"
"Yes. So?" Xiao Wu.
"Are those two vegetarians?"
"…" Xiao Wu.
"How many soul beasts do those two consume every day, month and year? I'm pretty sure I won't come anywhere close to them in this matter."
Xiao Wu was speechless, she still tried to argue.
"Da Ming and Er Ming only catch evil soul beasts and…"
"Evil soul beasts? Are you kidding me? In the world of soul beasts, there is no concept of good and evil. Only predator and prey. Xiao Wu, you must have been very protected by your parents and your two licking dog brothers, to not even know such a basic thing."
"And I'm guessing that the so-called evil soul beasts are those certain soul beasts that go against your wishes, or maybe your natural predators?"
Rayne said, not hiding his disdain at all.
Xiao Wu felt very awkward and embarrassed. She wanted to retort, but no words came out of her mouth.
Even Ah Yin felt embarrassed for Xiao Wu and pulled her out of the kitchen.
…
Rayne quickly cooked up the breakfast. With the dismantle and cleave, cutting up the ingredients is easy as it can be.
Rayne cooked up some dishes such as rabbit stew, braised rabbit, rabbit fricassee, rabbit pie.
Also vegetable dishes, mainly carrot based food like carrot cake, carrot-ginger smoothie, vegetable soup with lots of carrots, and Roasted carrots.
There was a lot in quantity. Enough for at least three days.
The carrot dishes made Xiao Wu look at Rayne with twinkling eyes. Her depression was almost swept away.
After the breakfast, Rayne packed up all the rest of the food and put it in a storage soul guide, in which time doesn't flow.
Rayne gave it to Ah Yin, along with a lot of gold soul coins. Then, he sent her away along with Xiao Wu and asked them to not come back for at least two days.
He also put some runes on them, that contained some of his spatial power.
Because there is too much attention on Nuoding city at the moment, there is still a very minimal chance of Ah Yin and Xiao Wu being targeted by someone.
The rune he gave them can teleport them to his side if they are in any sort of danger.
After sending them away, Rayne cleaned up his dormitory, cleaning up any traces of Ah Yin and Xiao Wu.
Soon, it was afternoon.
About two in afternoon, his door was knocked and a pleasant and joyful female voice called out.
"My dear Rayne, are you there?"

Authors Note:
So, the group chat will be starting soon.
Do give me some suggestions. Though, I can only chose among the works I'm familiar with. And for other cultivation novels, I'm not really sure. I don't think I can manage it well. Maybe in the late arcs after I've reached the conclusion of douluo world.
