Chapter 44: Gate of Fire (1/2)
Slowly opening my eyes, the scent of ash flooded my nose, causing cloudy black tears to rise. With a harsh cough full of ash, I rose from the pavement, clutching my stomach. In a hurry, I weakly rushed to the kitchen, glaring down at the cooks that were present with a happy smile, ”Thank god Alice hired you all, cook me something,” I shouted, feeling my vision slowly beginning to fade again.
”Yes, my lord...we have been looking for you for three days.” A young cook exclaimed with worry.
”Just cook; we can talk later,” I commanded as I grabbed an emerald colour apple biting down with lustful fever. As the burst of sweet and sour filled my mouth, the hunger within my body grew even stronger.
Staring at the five cooks in front of me, I began to salivate...damn it, it's been fifteen years. I just want a little taste. Is that so much to ask for.
Watching the cooks rushed to prepare me food, I joined in, helping them cook faster before digging in. I didn't even bother looking to see what I was devouring as my hunger never left. Clutching my fist, I coldly demanded, ”Do we have any ranked three or two monsters.”
Shaking their heads, I scoffed in irritation before rushing out of my house to a local restaurant that served such products. My hunger was quickly rising, and my control was slowly beginning to fade away.
”Hello Ashen Prince, would you like a...”
Rushing past the waiter in a rather upscale restaurant, I arrived before the kitchen busting in with desperation. Not caring for the chefs, I began devouring all the meat radiating a powerful vital Qi. Whether it was raw or cooked, everything fell into my stomach as the hunger faded by a little.
”...”
”...”
”...”
Staring at the wide eye chefs and waiters, I smirked before continuing to feast. This young master was starving. Like a savage beast, I consumed their entire stook of food before looking at them angrily, ”Is this all you have.” I shouted feeling my stomoch acids searing my insides.
”...”
”Damn it, here,” I said, throwing a million Fel towards them before charging into the next restaurant with fever. Restaurant after restaurant soon fell prey to my hunger before I finally felt alive again.
”What the hell was that?” I shouted aloud while staring at my oversize stomach.
Walking back to my home, I looked at my chefs, ”Go buy rank three ingredients. Speak with Alice if we are going over the budget.” I said, walking back to my room.
Looking at myself covered in ash and food, I smiled bitterly before taking a quick shower. Three days had passed during my culcivation sesession, and I have finally reached the fourth stage of Qi Condensation. A rather outstanding achievement to do within my time span. Yet, my qi was perfectly stable.
Putting on my school uniform, I left, thinking about what happened to Yura. There was no trace of the young lady, and I was rather curious of where she went. Wasting no time, I arrived before homeroom, studying the young woman lazily sitting at her desk reading some documents.
”Instructor Victoria, I need your help,” I said with a solemn expression, ”My body is acting differently...”
Growing red, Victoria shook her head quickly, ”Speak to your parents about that!” She shouted, turning her head with a rather silly blush.
”....Damit, I'm not talking about puberty,” I yelled angrily
