After a warm shower, William changed into fresh robes and walked out of his suite.
After a few minutes, he stepped inside the dinning hall. Like usual as everything in this hotel, the hall was luxurious and the decoration looked simple but they had intricate designs from many expert-sculptures.
From among the crowd, he spotted his group sitting around a round table. Gon waved. Silver grinned at him.
The other two remained as calm as they were.
He sauntered around and sat over the empty seat.
Seeing they were just drinking teas, he smiled and spoke, "Thanks for waiting for me. Alright, I'm famish. Let's order."
He called and a waitress rushed.
"Sirs, misses, what can I get for you?"
"No need. Just bring everything in the menu." William said. May be somehow cultivating in the Spirit Ki had something to do with his current hunger. He thought he could eat a mountain of meats and grains.
Waitress was startled at first but realizing that they were seated on the most important among the V.I.P. table, they had the right to speak in that manners.
Silver filled the empty cup before William with tea and said, "Have some, brother. This smells very good. It's the lotus tea."
William took a sip and said, "It's great."
Soon, dozens of waitresses came bringing their food.
Until mid-night, the five enjoyed their meals. Ashley and Wilson had already finished after finishing their first plates.
Gon and Silver continued compare themselves with William. Silver gave up as only after she had strong intention to vomit.
Gon the fatty was the last one challenging in this little charade of eating competition. He ended up soon afterward. They watched as William devoured everything. He only stopped when the kitchen was declared empty.
After paying twenty teals of gold coins, they left the place.
"Silver, I'll stay in your place. You can stay in my suite tonight." William said.
"There is no need. I'll stay with you." Silver replied. "What a waste of money?! Sister Ash suggested for all of us to get our own suites."
Ashley glared at her.
William was suggesting to exchange their suites because he wanted to continue cultivating Spirit Ki as his suite was already emptied out. It was a lot of gold to book those suites. So he didn't want to waste a bit.
He knew suggesting to exchange room to other was out of option. He asked to his closest sister which she agreed without even a single argument.
Back inside her suite, he sat over the floor and began to cultivate again.
After saying not to disturb him, he resumed his cultivation.
The same as before, he weaved a series of hand seals, adjusted his body posture and began breathing exactly as in the Yin-Yang Dragon Spirit Technique.
The abrupt changed in the surrounding brought Silver's attention.
"Oh, Brother Will can finally cultivate." Silver began to confuse the more she watched him. "It's not the Yuan Qi. What is that?"
She continued scrutinizing the surrounding trying to figure out if her brother was cultivating in a mystic technique and she was not far away from the truth.
Like before, William only stopped when the Yin Ki in the room was completely drained.
Only then Silver approached and asked, "What technique are you cultivating? I don't feel even a bit of Yuan Qi when you cultivate. What is it?" Her eyes were all curious.
William said, "You already know that I've a messed up meridians. So cultivating Yuan Qi is out of question. What I'm cultivating is a body technique which use a spirit energy call Ki to enhance by body beyond the first stage."
This inspired her and she began to ask a lot of questions, "Body cultivation? Is that powerful? I thought every elders and experts in the palace take only about how wonderful and unique the Yuan Qi cultivation. But never heard about body cultivation. Most cultivators stopped cultivating their body after the first realm of Mortal Body cultivation."
"You're right. Only those who have Spirit Foundation in their heart can continue their path of Body cultivation even after the First realm." William responded. "Even if someone who have awakened and successfully laid down their Spirit foundation would still choose to not cultivate because of the lack of Spirit Ki Cultivation technique."
The two continued discussing about Spirit cultivation late at night and they returned to their respective bed rooms to sleep.
The next morning, William and his group went out to the dinning hall having tea and breakfast.
While they were enjoying their morning tea, a well-dress female sauntered into the dining hall and approached their dinning table.
William and his friends glanced toward her.
The lady spoke with a beaming smile, "Sirs, which one among you is Prince William Drake?"
"It's me. What can I help you?"
She passed a red enveloped with a beautiful design of a Swan on the top.
"My lady the Owner of this establishment has solemnly send me here to pass this latter to Prince William. I've delivered as she asked. Now, I'll excuse myself. Please pardon me for interrupting your day." After saying that, she gave a slight bow and walked out of the place.
William placed the envelope over the table without any care as he enjoyed seeping the bitter after-taste of the tea.
Silver on the other hand was all curious. She picked up the enveloped and tore it. William didn't objected at all.
She began to read the letter a lot.
"My Dear Stranger Prince William,"
"Sorry for disturbing your quite time. But I've gathered my courage to have a bold move of proposing young prince to be my guest of honor in my humble abode. I believe young prince won't think otherwise accept my humble request. If young prince consider my proposal, please give a visit to Private Suite at the top of the hotel."
"Yours truly, Mu Lan!"
"Hahaha…" Silver burst into a peal of laughter and slapped over William's back and added, "Nice one. Finally, our charming prince brother have a suitor. No doubt it is the fame Fairy Mu Lan. A combination of rich and beauty. Not bad. Not bad at all."
No one here other than Silver would be bold enough to joke like that with William. The others had a strong urge to laugh out out. However, they minded their manners and just beamed.
