By the time Zhou Yun and Shi Zhen returned Xueyu had already finished making dinner, the dishes were laid out and arranged accordingly. Puffs of aroma filled the room. The duo arrived and were immediately struck by a pang of hunger.
Shi Zhen gulped and with a slightly formal gesture, he waited for Zhou Yun to be seated before he moved to his own.
Zhou Yun wasn't as stiff and familiarly called out to Xueyu.
"My dear XueXue made my favorites today. Is there a special occasion or what!" He laughed joyously and immediately feasted upon the food.
Shi Zhen quickly joined.
Xueyu's eyes glistened under her hairs, she held out her hand under the attention of the duo.
Two familiars balls of energies quickly formed and vibrated with life
"Establishment of Qi and Soul Energy?!" Zhou Yun gasped, almost choking in the process.
"That's my XueXue!"
Xueyu muffled a laugh at her master's action but grinned brightly.
Shi Zhen muttered a quiet congratulation as he made short work of his food. The boy was famished.
That night the shack was filled with laughter from Zhou Yun. He finally has the chance to officially "introduce" Shi Zhen to Xueyu.
To Shi Zhen and Xueyu, however, it sounded a lot like bragging.
