Seeing the sun slowly rise, Rei stood up from his location as he had been keeping watch the entire night.Rei had a sudden thought as he couldn"t help but smile.
"Xiao Wu hadn"t tried my cooking has she. It"ll be a nice surprise for them." Rei thought making his way to the kitchen.
Looking at the ingredients around the place, Rei thought about what he would cook. Finalising his idea, Rei placed tens of gold in a bag before leaving it on the table to pay for the ingredients.
Wearing an ap.r.o.n, Rei started to cook.
*Yawn...
Xiao Wu yawned as she rubbed her eyes. She looked besides her and saw her mother hugging her and realised that yesterday wasn"t a dream and that her family was with her.
"Wake up mama, it"s morning." Xiao Wu said nudging Bai Wu"s shoulder slightly.
"Hm? Darling? Good morning."
(っ- ‸ – ς) Bai Wu said yawning slightly before giving Xiao Wu a kiss on the forehead.
"Where"s dad?" Xiao Wu asked as Bai Wu got off the bed and stretched lightly.
"Oh him? Your dad is in the kitchen making food." Bai Wu said as she sent out her senses to find Rei.
"Oh darling you"ve never tried your fathers cooking. It"s the best food you will ever eat."
ლ(´ڡ`ლ) Bai Wu said giving Xiao Wu a deep hug as she dragged her away to the kitchen.
Xiao Wu smiled happily as she got to enjoy a family breakfast.
"You two, the food should be ready soon." Rei said looking behind him.
"Hehe darling look at you with the ap.r.o.n on."
(⺣◡⺣)♡*Bai Wu said seeing Rei cook.
Rei only shrugged as he made the final touches on the food before pa.s.sing it to both of them.
"WAA! What"s the nice smell!! Got any food for me!?!?!" Ma Hong Jun shouted out as he slammed the door open showing off the rest of the gang drawn in by the smell.
"No fatty make your own. My food"s only for my wife and daughter." Rei said as he put away his ap.r.o.n. Xiao Wu took a bite and was surprised at how good the food was. She was about to take more bites when she saw Tang San and got up as she ran over to drag him next to her.
"Good morning master." Tang San said bowing just before he sat down. Rei nodded as he also sat down with his own food.
"Brother try this, it"s my dad"s cooking and it"s really good!" Xiao Wu said eagerly as she was about to feed Tang San with the same spoon she used to eat with.
*Bam!
Rei placed his food in front of Tang San as he stopped Xiao Wu from feeding him with her spoon.
"Tang San here"s your food, no need to eat from Xiao Wu"s." Rei said as he didn"t want them to have an indirect kiss.
"Darling what about your food?"
( •́ _ •̀)? Bai Wu asked as she saw Rei give his food away.
"It"s fine, I can go years without eating." Rei said truthfully since he just needs energy at this point.
"Hmm say ahh~"
(๑‾ ꇴ ‾๑) Bai Wu grinned as she gestured for Rei to eat the food on her spoon.
"Er...we"re still here." Fatty said jealous that they"re eating such delicious smelling foods.
"What about it?" Rei said as he relented to Bai Wu and ate off her spoon as embarra.s.sing as it was.
"Come on dad, they"re my friends. Make them some food as well please~" Xiao Wu said giving Rei the puppy dog eyes. Bai Wu giggled seeing the strongest man in the world bend to the whims of his daughter.
"Thank you Xiao- no I mean G.o.ddess Wu!" Fatty said as he tried to hug Xiao Wu"s legs only to be blocked by both Tang San and Rei forcing him to back away in fear.
Rei quickly made some simple dishes for everyone as they all ate with tears of joy in their eyes.
Half way through the meal, Tang San suddenly frowned as he felt pain on his back.
"Excuse me for a while." Tang San said as he tried to leave but Xiao Wu held his arm.
"Brother what"s wrong?" Xiao Wu asked.
"Nothing, it"s fine." Tang San said quickly leaving the room while Rei frowned.
"Darling do you know what"s wrong with Xiao San?"
(◕⌓◕;) Bai Wu asked in worry.
"Yes, he got an external spirit bone from the devil spider he killed and he"s not fully integrated with it." Rei said as he stood up.
"Dad what"s wrong with brother?" Xiao Wu asked in worry.
"Nothing, he just needs some a.s.sistance which I"m going to give him." Rei said as he exited the room chasing after Tang San.
It didn"t take long for Rei to find Tang San in the forest while he had 8 spider legs sprout from his back.
"Master I-"
"I know what"s happening. It"s nothing bad just an external spirit bone." Rei said simply as he sent a wave of calming energy to calm Tang San down.
Rei started to explain to Tang San about external spirit bones as Xiao Wu and Bai Wu soon caught up to them.
"Hm? Brother actually got an external spirit bone congratulations!" Xiao Wu said as she circled around Tang San.
"Xiao Wu, stand back a little. I need to help Tang San integrate fully with it first." Rei said as Xiao Wu calmed down.
"Tang San, this might hurt a little so persist through it." Rei said as he prepared to pressurise Tang San with his spirit pressure.
"Un master, disciple understands." Tang San bowed as Rei nodded.
Rei started to increase his pressure slowly while Tang San frowned from the pain.
35.....36....37.....38.....39.....40!...41!...42!...43!....44!.....45!!!
The spirit pressure increase as Tang San continued to resist. It was only when it hit rank 45 did a change appear as Tang San fully integrated with his external spirit bone.
"Fuu, alright let"s head back. Tang San we"ll get some training in for your external spirit bone." Rei spoke as he dismissed the pressure.
When they returned, Tang San was surprised to see the grandmaster there as well.
"Xiao San, seems like everyone is here. I"m Tang San"s teacher and also your teacher from now on Yu Xiao Gang. We shall be doing special training from today onwards." Yu Xiao Gang spoke as Flander was near by.
"Flander." Rei called out as he took the chance of Yu Xiao Gang teaching everyone.
"Yes esteemed douluo what is it?" Flander cupped his hands in respect.
"Me and Bai Wu want to be teacher"s here while we"re near Xiao Wu." Rei said simply. Flander"s was thrilled when he realised that he would have two t.i.tled douluo"s protecting the student"s as well.
"No problem! Do you need anything?" Flander asked with a smile.
"No we"re just being teacher"s in name only." Rei said turning back to Yu Xiao Gang"s lesson as he had wanted everyone to break a bowl using just their spirit power.
All of them had failed until it was Tang San"s turn.
*PAK!
Tang San easily broke the bowl but Rei only frowned slightly.
"Tang San, you should be aiming for more minute controls." Rei spoke as Tang San bowed.
"Yu Xiao Gang, can I borrow a bowl to demonstrate?" Rei said as he looked at the grandmaster.
"Of course esteemed douluo." Yu Xiao Gang said showing respect to Rei as a t.i.tled douluo.
Rei waved his finger as everyone watched.
"Done." Rei said but nothing happened. Fatty was about to complain when Yu Xiao Gang exclaimed.
"Incredible! To think such a degree of control could be achieved!" Yu Xiao Gang said causing everyone to be confused.
Seeing everyone"s confusion, Yu Xiao Gang broke off a small piece of the bowl as everyone was shocked to see the insides were hollow as Rei had destroyed it"s insides while making sure a small layer was intact to keep the shape.
"Tang San, this is the degree of control I want you to achieve with the knowledge I gave you." Rei said.
"Disciple understands, thank you master for showing this disciple." Tang San said as he cupped his hands. Rei nodded simply as he sat down.
Bai Wu walked over as she sat down next to him. They watched the cla.s.s train as Bai Wu eventually opened her mouth.
"Darling you are stressed about this three year limit aren"t you?"
(๑ó⌓ò๑) She said as Rei sighed and nodded.
"I can see that Xiao Wu loves Tang San just that she doesn"t realise the extent of it just yet. I only have three years to try make Tang San strong enough to protect our daughter." Rei sighed as he felt stressed about the time limit.
"Xiao San is very talented from what I can see so far. I"m sure with enough resources and training you can help him darling."
(*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑ Bai Wu encouraged with a smile.
"I hope so..." Rei replied watching their training.
