37: Morning hospitality

The next day.

Just as the sky showed a hint of fish-belly white, Su Ye reflexively opened his eyes.

A pattering sound rang out, as if something was running across the floor, and Jinbao was seen running from the sofa back to its little nest.

As if nothing had happened, it even struck a lazy pose as if asleep.

"This fellow..."

Su Ye shook his head helplessly, his gaze falling upon the figure on the sofa.

There, the woman covered by a blanket was sleeping soundly and sweetly, her black veil gently rising and falling with each breath.

Knowing that Jinbao couldn't leave, Ye Leng Leng also stayed, accompanying Jinbao the entire night.

In the end, it was Jinbao who pulled her into the room, where she slept on the sofa for the night.

"For the sake of a pet, a single man and woman sharing a room... would anyone believe this if it got out?"

Su Ye's mouth twitched. Fortunately, he wasn't some heinous person, otherwise...

After this incident, he understood that Ye Leng Leng genuinely liked Jinbao from the bottom of her heart; otherwise, she wouldn't have done something like this.

The misfortune of the Nine Hearted Sea Tang had exhausted this girl. Having a pet accompany her could be considered a ray of warm sunshine in life that healed her heart.

Su Ye deeply understood this feeling.

Without disturbing someone's rest, after a simple wash-up, Su Ye uncharacteristically skipped his morning Eight Extremities Fist practice and sat at the table in contemplation.

The Eight Extremities Fist is forceful and fierce, with astonishing destructive power, making it an extremely suitable close-quarters combat technique.

In duels between low-level Soul Masters, fist and foot collisions are quite effective, as everyone has few Soul Skills.

However, among intermediate and high-level Soul Masters, duels are basically clashes between Martial Souls and Soul Skills.

After organizing his thoughts, Su Ye dipped a quill pen in ink and began to write on the paper:

"Eight Extremities Fist, internalizes eight intentions, externalizes eight forms, strength erupts in eight directions..."

"Using eight parts of the body to open the enemy's gate, the Six Great Openings: Top, Embrace, Single, Lift, Carry, Entwine..."

"The Eight Great Moves: Insert Hand, Break Hand, Strike Palm... There are also ultimate moves like Fierce Tiger Hard Climb Mountain, King Yama's Three-Point Hand... Specific moves are as follows..."

"Eight Extremities Fist cultivation method: cultivate the lower body with Wuji Stance or Liangyi Stance, combined with basic bow-horse stance and basic upward elbow support palm, to experience the transmission and eruption of power..."

"......"

Outside the window, the sky grew brighter and brighter.

Before long, a beam of light pierced through from afar, dispelling the Darkness between heaven and earth.

Bang bang--

At this moment, a light knocking sound rang out.

Su Ye looked up and glanced. Jinbao, who was pretending to be asleep, had already run over and opened the door, a little glutton without a doubt.

It was a hotel waitress, wearing a fitted white qipao with a slit, revealing a pair of beautiful legs in white stockings.

Her hands rested on her lower abdomen, like a blooming lotus flower, giving a sense of beauty and elegance.

"Hello, if it's convenient, may I ask if you'd like breakfast served now?"

"Yes, you can."

The woman in the qipao politely lowered her head and smiled, then stepped forward and gently pushed open the two doors of the room with her delicate hand wearing a white glove.

More young and beautiful waitresses poured in. They carried platters of dishes, some pushing serving carts.

Before long, the nearly three-meter-long dining table was filled with delicious food that appealed to the eyes, nose, and mouth. In the center, there was even a roasted suckling pig, which was Su Ye's configuration for every meal.

"Please enjoy your meal."

Knowing that Su Ye didn't allow waitresses to serve him, the woman gave a low-voiced reminder, then led the others out.

Ye Leng Leng was also awakened by the commotion.

"This..."

Thinking that she had actually stayed in the same room as a boy for the night, she lightly bit her pink lip, hastily got up, and walked towards the door.

"Alright, sit down and eat."

"You've been here for so long, you're considered a guest. I've never heard of the principle of... driving people away when it's mealtime early in the morning."

Su Ye's leisurely voice sounded, and he called out loudly to "Jinbao" again. The two little ones immediately ran out from the washroom and jumped onto the seats at the dining table.

Then, it even quite humanly stretched out its paw towards the seat next to it, wanting Ye Leng Leng to sit there.

A flicker of hesitation flashed in Ye Leng Leng's eyes. Seeing Jinbao frantically turning its head to signal her to sit down...

Thinking that things were already like this, her teammates probably knew about her not returning for the night anyway, so there was nothing to hide.

"I'll go wash up first."

After hesitating, Ye Leng Leng softly left a sentence, then elegantly headed towards the washroom, her soft, blue-crystal-like hair swaying on her black veil.

Su Ye propped his chin, his fingers tapping Morse code on his face, contemplating the matter of combining the Eight Extremities Fist to create more advanced moves.

The Eight Extremities Fist is a boxing method, cultivating both internal and external aspects, but it leans more towards boxing moves.

Even after simplification, there are still many stick-figure-like move diagrams. It's not as simple as the basic meditation method, and this thing isn't suitable for large-scale printing.

Moreover, if printed, it could easily leak out.

Although the Eight Extremities Fist isn't considered a particularly powerful martial art in this World, it is, after all, the essence left behind by his ancestors.

Since he studied martial arts, how could he not value martial arts?

"Uh... I can't possibly write thousands of copies by hand, right?"

Su Ye felt dreadful just thinking about it.

It takes one hour to compile one copy. No matter how fast he copies, it would take at least thirty minutes per copy.

Thirty minutes per copy, forty-six copies a day without eating or drinking, and only over a thousand copies a month.

"It seems... I can only find some cheap labor."

Su Ye murmured to himself, his eyes lighting up as he thought of something.

Now that the major elementary Soul Master academies have started classes, finding some work-study students to do this couldn't be more suitable.

Separate the mental method and the moves, and also disconnect the cultivation method. With only simple moves, as long as they can't be pieced together into a complete manual, there's no fear of the Eight Extremities Fist leaking out.

Moreover, work-study students are young. Even if they practice according to the diagrams, without the violent techniques, after practicing elbows, palms, and grappling, the Eight Extremities Fist techniques are just the simplest moves, completely useless.

Right!

That's it!

Breakfast... so lavish?

Seeing that Su Ye was waiting, Ye Leng Leng quickened her steps, but as she looked at the table full of dozens of dishes, her small face showed extraordinary astonishment.

Who serves roasted suckling pig for breakfast?

Such extravagance and waste... could this guy be the son of some great noble?

Glancing at Su Ye, Ye Leng Leng quietly sat down next to Jinbao.

"A guest is a guest, don't be polite with me. Politeness isn't effective these days."

"To be honest, the food at this hotel is alright, especially this unique Zhēn Chicken, which is absolutely superb. Take your time and savor it."

Su Ye picked up a plate and thoughtfully served Ye Leng Leng a large plate of dishes.

The young man's face was like the morning sun, his appearance gentle and polite, completely different from the cold way he rejected her last night. This made Ye Leng Leng's eyes widen in surprise.

"Tha-thank you." Ye Leng Leng thanked him softly, her peculiar gaze seemingly refreshing her perception of a certain person.

"Ah, it's nothing, it's what I should do."

Suppressing a smile and waving his hand, Su Ye perfectly demonstrated the basic etiquette of hosting a guest as an adult.

"Jinbao, dig in!"

After doing this, Su Ye gave Jinbao a subtle look.

Boom--!

Transforming into a wild horse unleashed.

The little Jinbao kicked off with its hind legs, immediately opened its mouth wide, and pounced towards the roasted suckling pig, "extremely famished".

Clang--

Unfortunately, it missed, fell into a plate, and slid out, its little face smeared with oil.

Roar--

Looking at someone's "tyrannical actions," Jinbao lowered its front body and bared its teeth at Su Ye opposite, letting out low growls of dissatisfaction.

"You're young, don't be picky with food."

Gnawing large mouthfuls of the roasted suckling pig, Su Ye's teeth were like a steel saw, large chunks of meat disappearing with every bite.

Seeing this, the little Jinbao immediately scrambled across the dining table, scavenging for food, making clattering noises.

Su Ye was not to be outdone and began scooping plates of food into his stomach.

The dining table became completely chaotic, as if two battlefields had been drawn.

"......".

Looking at the food in the plate, Ye Leng Leng seemed to understand at this moment.

So, this plate was hers after all. A certain person was truly... quite generous.
