Breakfast
[3rd POV]
I watched the girl lying on my bed in silence. She had fallen asleep mid-way into our conversation. The rhythmic rise and fall of her chest indicate that she was clearly asleep but I found myself questioning it.
Because who the fuck sleeps that peacefully when they were in the presence of an enemy?
I knew humans were lacking in animal characteristics and their instincts were lower than any other animals but damn, she had absolutely zero survival instincts.
Or was it me? Do I give off good kitty vibes or something?Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com
Hey, not even a week ago I wiped out thousands of your fellow Tibetans with one gesture. I wanted to tell her.
I couldn't figure her out at all.
Well, it was still the first day, I would know everything about her soon enough. For now, I was happy with what I have learned today.
I couldn't help but grin when I thought of that. I went near the bed and sat down on the floor. There were other rooms with beds but I had no intention of sleeping tonight.
And what I was about to do would take quite a bit of focus from me so if I wanted to keep an eye on her and stop her from escaping, I had to be close.
I sat down cross-legged and closed my eyes to meditate. I muted all of my other senses to allow my brain to focus on my thoughts as the noisy city and the scents dwindled.
Then I went into a deep meditation.
Now what was it that made Mei so special compared to others?
It was because her chi could command other chi around her. She could literally stimulate the chi of the world and tell them to act a certain way.
When she was enhancing the durability of the wooden spoon, she did not enhance it with her chi. Instead, she merely used her chi to stimulate the spoon's own chi and ordered it to make itself sturdier.
It was more remarkable than it initially seemed.
That meant if she were to know how to use her abilities properly, she could maybe create miracles without using her own chi. She could theoretically probably set the world on fire if she just ordered it to, and the chi of the world would do that itself.
I was not the one with the ability so I did not know the limitations but it was possible.
If I could just replicate that, if I could just replicate how her chi could command other chi to act a certain way, then it opened up multiple doors for me.
My chi did not have to be as potent as hers, I could just command the chi of the world to enter my body, maybe then I would be able to achieve a state akin to sage mode where I used the world's chi as a source of energy.
I could do this with my own chi, after all, chi was reality-bending energy but the amount required to achieve such feats and the result would completely cancel each other out.
So I needed to find how Mei could do it effortlessly and spare only the tiniest amount to control the other chi around her.

??
Odd.
We went to different bathrooms and it seemed she was still kneen on hiding her human identity, thinking that I had not realized it the moment I saw her.
I did not call her out on it though. If she wanted to hide it, then it's her right to do so. I did not really care.
"So, what are we going to do today?" She asked me, all cleaned up and refreshed.
"Exactly what we did yesterday," I said and thought for a moment, "Maybe a few more experiments so that I can learn more about what makes your chi special."
"That's all?" She asked, her tone an octave lower and her ears droop.
"Yes, what else did you expect?"
"I was thinking maybe we can explore the city for a bit. It's not really often that I get to go out." She said in a surprisingly honest tone.
But did she think she was? Princess spoiled? Like she said, she was a victim of kidnapping here. She had no right to make demands.
"There is nothing much to explore. It's like any other city." I said, "Maybe their fish are a little remarkable compared to others but it ends there." I shrugged.
"Fish?"
I paused and then slowly turned towards her.
"You haven't tried fish?"
She shook her head.
..
..
..
Okay, that's it. Forget about the experiments or getting stronger.
First and foremost, we are having fish for breakfast.
