Zan Fu grabbed a broom and dustpan to clean up the mess he made in the room. Shu Rong had already returned to bed and was sleeping soundly. He quickly checked the clock and saw that it was three o'clock in the morning.
He began sweeping up the broken shards and looked around at the room. Oddly enough, there was no damage to the room at all. "I guess that attack wasn't that powerful, then again this room is made to withstand attacks from the seventh realm."
He finally finished cleaning up the last pieces of the sword and ran to his room. He hopped face first into his bed and decided that he didn't need to meditate that night and fell into a deep sleep.
Back inside of the training room, the perfectly clear white wall and floors started to shift. Four small gashes formed across the ground. They were incredibly tiny and would only barely be noticed someone was paying extremely good attention.
The room began to repair itself automatically thanks to the unique material it was made out of and all evidence of this strike disappeared in an instant.

The next morning Zan Fu woke up to find drool completely covering his face, "Awww, gross." He quickly runs to the sink and turns it on, washing his face.
Once he finished, he stepped into his kitchen and grabbed some ingredients from the fridge. He started to boil a pot of water while whisking away at some eggs. Adding a little seasoning he pulled out a frying pan and poured just enough olive oil to cover the center of it.
He spilt the eggs into the pans and waited patiently. He grabbed more pots, pans, food, and drinks and started to cook a large meal.
It took some time but when he finally finished, he looked at the table before him in satisfaction. Four ham and cheese omelets seperated onto four different plate, each containing three strips of bacon, two warm-brown toasts, some hash browns, and a plate in the side full of pancakes.
It was a simple but delicious meal. He started to clean up all of the kitchen utensils and pots while waiting for everyone else in his house to wake up.
The servants would usually return to their own home during the night as the night guards watched over them, as such they never needed any breakfast. After some time, Zan Rong, Mei Ling and Shu Ring came to the kitchen to find him sitting there with a five star meal in front of him.
Especially Shu Rong who looked like he witnessed a miracle, "I guess you never thought that I could cook?" Shu Rong laughed at his comment and they began to eat the meal together. It was a strange and unexpected thing to see, but Zan Fu genuinely enjoyed this meal.
Afterwords Zan Fu invited Shu Rong to go shopping with him. He looked at him in surprised and asked Zan Fu, "Huh? Shopping b-but ummm why are you inviting me?"
Zan Fu shrugged and said, "I don't know, it just sort of feels right." He acted a bit weird at Zan Fu's words, but agreed to come along anyway. Both Zan Rong and Mei Ling gave each other a knowing smile as they waved goodbye as the two of them left.
They walked around the town window shopping a few times. "What are you looking for anyway?" Shu Rong said while they looked into a jewelry store. He looked at the golden ring on display, that was encrusted with diamonds, in interest.
Zan Fu took not of the glint in Shu Rong's eye as he thought about the question, "To be honest, nothing. I don't really need to buy anything right now, rather I just needed a breath of fresh air. I thought about it a little and realized that I needed a break, no matter how small."
Shu Rong stayed silent and didn't respond to his answer.
"I know that this is kind of dumb, so I'm sorry for wasting your time Shu Rong but I just feel like you need to relax a little as well."
They explored the area a bit more and eventually found themselves in an arcade. Zan Fu played several games with less than stellar success. Eventually he excused himself to use the restroom for a bit while Shu Rong played a game about shooting aliens.
She moved around to different machines but eventually noticed that something strange was happening. A small group of boys had suddenly surrounded her while she was playing Rac-Man, which was a square with a mouth trying to eat special dots in order to devour zombies on the screen.
The boys moved closer to her while she was focused on the game and once she lost a large hand slapped down in front of her.
"Hey there pretty lady, you want some company?" Shu Rong knocked his hand away as she tried to ignore them and walk away, but another guy just stepped directly in her path and the others began to cat call her.
"C'mon now, you don't need to be shy. I'm sure you're here for the same reason as all of us, to have a little ~fun~"
"Yeah why don't you have some fun with us, baby!"
"We'll show you a good time, so how about you stick around."
"So how about it, want to stick around?" the person who slapped down his hand, who appeared to be the leader, said this like a question, but she knew that he wouldn't even consider her answer if she said, no.
He slowly tried to caress her face creepily.
Just as she was contemplating about breaking his fingers, Shu Rong noticed someone appear behind them. She paused as a second hand reached out and grabbed the leader's wrist.
"Hey, stop bothering my friend." Zan Fu stood there with a blank expression on his face. The boss of the group looked at Zan Fu like he was an idiot and tried to pull his hand out of Zan Fu's grasp. Unfortunately for him, his arm wouldn't even budge no matter how much force he used to move it.
"Listen to me clearly. If you continue to be a nuisance then I will make sure that you don't have a good time ever again. Do I make myself clear?" While saying this, the leader kneeled onto the ground and silently reached for his arm with a look of terror and pain on his face.
"Answer me!" Zan Fu shouted with a dark expression and the man started to cry while liquids poured out of his pants, "Yes, Yes I understand. Please just let go of me. It hurts, it hurts!" The other boys witnessing this scene began to back away slowly.
Zan Fu quickly set his sights on the others and each and everyone of them charge off at full speed. He released the man's wrist and smiled in Shu Rong's direction, "Are you okay?"
She looked at him with a small smile on her face, "You know I could've handled that by myself right?"
Zan Fu gave off a shrug as he and Shu Rong left the arcade. Although she didn't need the help, Shu Rong felt touched that Zan Fu still stood up for her, "Thanks for the help anyway. Of course I still didn't need it!"
A small chuckle escaped Zan Fu's mouth which made Shu Rong start to smile and chuckle as well. Eventually they both fell into fits of laughter as they walked with each other. Zan Fu brought out something from his pocket after their laughing fit ended.
"I actually have a gift for you." He opened up the box to reveal the diamond encrusted gold ring that she was looking at back at the jewelry store window. Shu Ring's eyes brightened at the sight as she accepted the box fromand lifted the ring from its placeholder.
She slid the ring upon her finger happily while Zan Fu said, "There is also somehpthing a little special about the ring."
Shut Rong looked at him curiously, "What is it?"
"You'll find out one day."
They walked on slowly as the sun sank in the horizon, "Despite everything, this was a pretty good shopping trip."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
