When Sui Xiong went back to the village, the villagers were still sleeping, even Ray and Steele were not awake.

Steele’s schedule was clearly very different from the average. Even when it was already noon and the village was bustling, she was still sleeping in her room.

“Should I wake her up?” Ray asked, seeing Sui Xong’s facial expression. Sui Xiong immediately knew he meant to chant to the incantation of the golden hoop to wake her up.

Sui Xiong could see what was going on in her room, so he shook his head and denied his request.

In her room, Steele was sleeping with three other male tree fairies. If Ray chanted the incantation of golden hoop, Steele would instantly wake up and scream due to the sudden pain. The three men would be startled and might suffer the worst erectile dysfunction in their whole life.

“I don’t intend to make these men suffer erectile dysfunction.” Ray said, “Anyway, let’s pay a visit to the Master Trian instead.”

Sui Xiong smiled and told him that he had already paid Master Trian a visit last night. Master Trian had left his house to visit his friends and was making the preparation for a important experiment. He would not come back for a long while and had also stopped his business.

“What?!” Ray was totally stunned. He stood there still for a long time.

Master Trian had left his house? He had stopped doing business? How am I going to instill the magic into my weapons?!

He contemplated for a long while, then forced out a smile.

It was no use to think if Ray could persuade Master Trian to change his mind, since Master Trian was not even at home!

“Then, what should we do?” Ray asked.

“We’d better make our departure to the south, to the Mifata Federation, you should come with me, as for Steele… I mean to find a place for her to stay. But I am afraid when we finish our business, we may see a bunch of medicine residues…” Sui Xiong smiled.”So we should all leave together.”

Ray agreed with him, but he was very curious about what Sui Xiong had just put. He asked, “What do you mean by saying ‘medicine residues’? Is it the name of a certain monster?”

Sui Xiong laughed rather mysteriously but gave no further explanation. Instead he asked Ray to pack up and agreed to explain to him when everything was packed and tidy. To get the explanation, Ray quickly packed up.

Then Sui Xiong said that eating breakfast was also part of the preparation before departure, and promised to tell him by the time he ate the breakfast.

Ray didn’t intend to argue with Sui Xiong, so he went to a restaurant next to the hostel and ordered a traditional breakfast that a fairy would normally eat.

The wine was made from a rare fruit in the Ancient Forest that was very delicious, but the maize porridge and the flavourless dried beast meat didn’t go well with the wine. This had annoyed Sui Xiong who came from the country of delicious cuisine and made him complain a lot.

“The wine has not been carefully chosen! There are no pickles! And the meat tastes like water! They don’t even have noodles or snacks; moreover, the meat has not even been boiled— Can you believe this?! Can this be called cuisine?”

“It doesn’t taste that bad, besides, the fruit wine is really good.”

“No one should drink wine at this hour! Don’t you know that we should eat healthy! A breakfast shouldn’t be too oily or salty, and it should be nutritious and easy to digest. We should find a balance between the taste and our health! Haven’t you ever seen the documentary ‘A Bite of China’?”

“Is that a book? I have never heard of it.”

Sui Xiong meant to continue to argue with him on this, but suddenly he realized that he was not on the earth; this was not China. He was in another world in which the culture and the tradition were completely different. The things he considered pretty normal might be something bizarre here in this world.

It was wrong to ask anyone to do anything by his own standards. Even if he forced his followers to accept the Chinese food culture, he could never change this world into his hometown.

Maybe… it is my nostalgia towards my hometown that has made me so grumpy these days.

Sui Xiong had been arguing with Ray, but now he was just quietly floating in the air and sighing.

Ray could see that Sui Xiong was feeling a bit emotional, so he dropped the topic and quietly finished his breakfast. Then he came back to the hostel and asked Sui Xiong about the “medicine residues.”

Sui Xiong smiled and said, “As for the medicine residues, there was a story behind it: once upon a time, there was a kingdom where all the maids were drowsy all day long. The kind king sent for a doctor to see to them. The doctor wrote a few words on a paper ‘some vigorous and strong men’…”

Ray nodded, and interrupted, “I see.”
