Ling Wei and Hong An sitting on the table, with the food visibly disappearing, while Ling Wei's chopsticks had barely moved, Hong An meanwhile wielded her chopsticks in a clumsy fashion, sometimes appearing to be struggling, which would cause Ling Wei to motion his own chopsticks to carry the food into her bowl.

Hong An by then had already reached Body Tempering, where she could go without food for many years, her gluttonous behaviour was only out of a habit, cultivators even at the earliest stage had already begun consuming pills instead of meals, perhaps not even the most extravagant of cultivators would use their precise materials as ingredients, but even in their first meals, where he had simply cooked fried rice, Hong An's adorable expression akin to a squirrel would always motivate him to continue feeding the little girl.

Hong An gradually finished all the dishes on the table, waving her hand, she cleaned the dishes, then once again motion her hands, to which the eating utensils responded by returning into a spacial bag.

Ling Wei extended his hand, inviting Hong An, where she responded by standing up grabbing the hand in an attempt to forcefully drag him outside into the garden for a walk. Ling Wei chuckled at her actions, and followed suit, matching the speed her small legs could drag her. In a brief flash, they approached the main door of Ling Wei's residence, upon which they noticed a figure in red.

Ling Wei was the first to recognise her and swiftly responded.

"Yan Chi aunty hello", he called out in a calm tone, while Hong An had remained ignorant and ran into Yan Chi, bumping her head into Yan Chi's feather dress.

Letting out a chuckle like those of bells, Yan Chi gracefully lowered herself and greeted the two.

"Little Wei, Little An, greetings, remember to remain vigilant when you're running".

Only then did Hong An recover from her previous crash, to which she glanced up.

"Aunty hello!" a crispt voice ran out, combined with her bright smile and clear eyes without any impurities, Yan Chi couldn't help but fondle her small head.

"Little An, has your Wei gege told you about our expedition to the Ancient Phoenix Realm?" questioned Yan Chi.

Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

Ling Wei slightly tilted his head away from their direction, realising he had completely forgotten about the jade slip while Hong An had a confused look on her face.

A helpless look appeared Yan Chi's face, giving a quick glare at Ling Wei, she began explaining.

"The Ancient Phoenix Realm where my egg form was found by Ling Kuanguang, it has an overabundance of Yang qi, along with several dangerous areas where even a cultivator at your Ling Wei gege level could potentially die".

An expression of shock appeared on Hong An's face, to her, Ling Wei's strength is one of the best in the cultivation world, to die when you're at the Dao Seeking realm is near impossible.

Yan Chi noticed the expression on her face, gave off a light laugh and continued explaining.

"Those of Phoenix descent will be accepted by the realm, he will not suffer any harm in that realm, but you must be careful, going to such a dangerous place with your cultivation level will almost certainly result in death, make sure to remain by Xiao Wei's side".

Hong An mimicked a chicken pecking, nodding her head repeatedly.

"Xiao Wei prepares some fire resistant artefact for Xiao An, we will be leaving in 6 double-hours".

Ling Wei nodded and proceeded back towards the building while Hong An waved her hand in goodbye before following, Yan Chi remained in spot, until the silhouette of the two disappeared, then finally retreating back to her own residence.

During the 6 double-hours, Ling Wei quickly found numerous artefact, to which he spends a few moments of consideration before just dumping them all into the spacial bag.

Sensing the time remaining, he decided to browse around his kitchen utensils, grabbing a Cai Dao, chopping board, a large wok, and numerous cooking ingredients before checking on Hong An.

Hong An is currently brimming with excitement, with her arms waving about, seeing this, Ling Wei had a slight frown, this was certainly not a ladylike behaviour, stopping Hong An's movement with his arms, he opened his mouth.

"As a girl, you should be aware of your behaviour, keep your motions graceful and efficient," Ling Wei stated, his family was quite strict on his upbringing in his past life, and their habit subconsciously transferred to him.

Hong An, who the elders of the Red River Sect had to treat with respect, had never been taught proper etiquette, resulting in Ling Wei spending the rest of his free time teaching her.

Yan Chi had arrived just on the strike of the sixth double hour, upon noticing the lack of presence, she remained calm, but soon, another double hour had passed, resulting in her entering the residence, to which she noticed Ling Wei covering his mouth as an attempt to hide his laughter.

...

...

...

Yan Chi motioned her hand, and a portal soon appeared and disappearing into the void, Ling Wei, agitated, quickly grabbed Hong An and followed.

"I was teaching Hong An etiquette," he explained himself, Yan Chi, however, seemed to not notice his reasoning.

Hong An meanwhile, had brimming eyes of curiosity, staring at the massive lakes of lava surrounding them, with the rocks appearing to move, constantly going upward.

If one sense the Spiritual Essence density of the realm, they would quickly find it is almost none existent, with the small remanents similarly floating upwards.

One could fit an egg inside her mouth as she opened it in amazement, while Yan Chi remained calm as if this is a common scene.

"Xiao An lets go, remember to follow your Wei gege, despite his inability to socialise, he is still quite reliable, I doubt he would become lost in this area," Yan Chi stated while turning around towards Hong An, and a shocked expression appeared on her face.

Ling Wei, who was originally standing next to Hong An, had disappeared, as if gone, reduced to atoms.

Of course, it did not happen, Ling Wei, out of a mixture of embarrassment and desire to fulfil his golden halo, quickly left to wonder on his own.
