"This time, if you're ever in danger again, let me help you. If you can't get out of it, let me stay by you until the end. I don't want to go through what happened after you ere gone ever again, is that understood?"

Though the request was structured like a command, it was in fact a plead form the other. Seeing he rlittle sister that had always been living freely, laughing and smiling everyday like a fool, change so much because of her death, Shen Tianyu felt she had to at least let the other have this promise. "...Okay, I promise. But know that even if I can't get out of it, I'll still do my best to protect you."

"I'll get strong enough that you won't need to protect me." Bai Yaoxuan lifted her chin in confidence. Even though she hadn't even developed a core, even though she can barely be considered Qi Gathering level, her confidence spoke volumes about her determination to make those words into reality.

"Okay. I'll help you." Shen Tianyu started to relax. "The first step is getting into Chengyuan School and taking advantage of their resources!" She pumped her fists as if it was something to be excited about, and Bai Yaoxuan followed her action with a laugh, falling back into their familiar rhythm. "Do you think you can finish all this food? We can pack the leftovers to take back if you can't."

"How about we take some back to give to your fiancee? He must be lonely, with you guys barely meeting up to talk when you live in the same place."

"Sure, good idea. You know, we used to eat ever meal together at his courtyard. It's just that you're staying over and he's being considerate to not evade on our talk. He's not form our old world after all so, you know." Shen Tianyu picked up some leftover food in her own bowl as she rubbed her stomach, indicating her fullness.

"I'll go get the waiter to pack these up for us." Bai Yaoxuan got up from her seat, neatly placing her chopsticks back where they belonged.

"Just yell for him from the door of our room. I'll worry if you leave my line of sight. The average cultivation level of people on this contienent is Meridians level, and there's especilly many of those cultivators in a flourishing nation like Rikui."

"Alright, alright, you worrywart." Bai Yaoxuan opened the doors to their private room and stuck her head out. "Waiter!"

The sound of hurried steps echoed through the crack in the door and a the male voice that had helped them order their food streamed through. "Yes, Young Miss?"

"Help us pack the leftover food, please. And give us the bill."

"Of course, I'll come back with the food boxes and the bill right away." The shuffling of feet traveled out of earshot and Bai Yaoxuan closed the door behind her, locking it until the waiter came back.

"I think it might be like the wooden layered bento boxes, since that's about the material they're most skilled at." Bai Yaoxuan stood by the door, ready to open it when the waiter knocked again. 

"I wonder if we have to return it then."

"Probably not right?"

"But the takeout rules here might be different. Doesn't hurt to ask."

"Hey, weren't you reborn here? You've been here longer than me, how come you don't know?" Bai Yaoxuan swatted at Shen Tianyu from across the room.

"Yeah but whenever I ate out, it was always someone else handling these little things so I never knew. Most of the time, I just ate at the cafetaria of my... uh... organization." Shen Tianyu wasn't sure how to name Yaodu without giving too much away.

"And to think you used to eat takeout virtually every day." Bai Yaoxuan snorted, not minding thr hesitation.

A voice echoed from outside their room alongside a knock. "Young Miss, I've brought the boexes and the bill."

Bai Yaoxuan let the waiter in and closed it again, initially wanting to help pack up the food but the wiater politely refused so she at back down in her seat. Shen Tianyu snatched the bill from the wauter with a smile of thanks, as if Bai Yaoxuan would try to take it when she had no money to pay. The boxes the waiter brought in were indeed wooden boxes, lacquered blck with gold and silver markings all over with the name of the restaurant clearly printed in calligraphy style. He assured them that the they need not return the boxes but the estalishment would find them if they tried to sell any food with the boxes or the boxes themselves.

The two women left with empty hands, since shen Tianyu put the cloth-wrapped boxes of food in her Cosmos bag. In addition, the bill was about a few thousand yuan, a cost only the rich could afford as expectd of such a high-end restaurant, though she deemed it was better not to tell her little sister of the amount paid. Fortunately, they didn't meet with any other problems on the way back, the Miss Yang's carriage and entourage gone by the time they stepped outside. Hand in hand, they entred the Zhu Wangfu. Bai Yaoxuan excused herself back to their curtyard first, whsipering to the other to bring the food to her fiance. 

Shen Tianyu gave a helpless smile as she shook her head but still continued to Rong Jian's Master courtyard. She knocked on the closed door of the study room and waited for an answer.

"Come in." The high-pitched voice of a eunuch sounded out. 

Getting permission, Shen Tianyu pushed the doors open and strutted in with some flair, not closing the doors. "Ah-Jian, I'm back~" 

Rong Jian, who had been coldly staring at his desk looked up at ehr voice and his gaze immediately softened. "Tian'er, you didn't have to knock on the study room door. You'll be the future Madam of this place so there's no need to act like an outsider." He got up from his chair, shooing the eunuch away. The eunuch excused himself and closed the doors as he left.

"Did you eat yet?" Shen Tianyu asked as she reached into her Cosmos Bag.
