Ye Yu rushed toward the kitchen on the first floor.
Behind him, Tang Xiang and Fu Junyu hastily fixed their disheveled clothes, exchanging a glance burning with unspoken meaning before looking away.
They had nearly become "sisters under the sheets"...
The blush lingered on their cheeks, but at 26-27 years old, they were no longer shy teenagers.
Even Xu Xin and Liu Ting, younger than them, had been bolder.
"Let's check. That hunger isn't normal."
Fu Junyu, cheeks scarlet, tried to appear professional.
A warrior of their level could fast for weeks without issue.
"Mmmh."
Tang Xiang nodded, looking serious.
Of course, they had to examine his condition...
(Though their secret thoughts? Identical—and mutually obvious.)

In the kitchen, Ye Yu pulled out a quarter of an Armored Dragon carcass (Advanced General Class).
Already treated with Neutralizing Serum, the meat was ready to be cooked.
Ding! ~ Skill [Cooking] +1
[Cooking: Master Level (3810/4000)]
Ye Yu ignored the notification, focused on his knife work.
The two women, arriving at the doorway, froze at the sight of his muscular back.
That aura...
Their hearts raced. An irresistible pull rooted them in place.
They even forgot to offer help.
---
Moments later, a mountain of steaming meat covered the table.
Ye Yu devoured it like a starving beast. The women, unashamed, joined in.
A true heavenly feast.
Over the past three years, it was thanks to this meat that they had risen from Intermediate Generals to Supreme Warriors nearing the advanced level.
Without it?
With their modest talent, it would have taken:
5–6 years to reach Supreme Warrior.
10+ years to reach their current level.
But with the treated meat? Just 2 years.
(The first year, Ye Yu hadn't trusted them yet...)
If their fellow bodyguards knew, they'd die of jealousy.
And to think they had complained when first given the assignment...
Tang Qin and Jiang Fang had handed them a golden opportunity.
Now? Even under threat, they wouldn't leave.
---
20 pounds of meat later, Ye Yu finally felt his hunger recede.
Still not enough.
Even with a superhuman stomach, he had his limits.
Solution?
Digest quickly, then eat more.
Sitting cross-legged, he began the Cosmic Energy Absorption Technique.
Those two women would end up in his bed—he just needed patience.
His cells, hungrier than ever, absorbed the ambient energy.
Almost too intense...
The women, full, silently watched him—while processing their own meals.
Tang Xiang, stretched out on the couch, extended her endless legs clad in sheer stockings –
A crime not to rest them on his shoulders...
Fu Junyu, crossing her silky white legs, smiled like an innocent girl –
(But her eyes sparkled with far less pure intentions.)
Seeing Ye Yu's chiseled physique, their thighs instinctively squeezed together.
Another glance exchanged. Synchronized blushing.
---
30 minutes later
The hunger returned with a vengeance.
"I should've had my sisters stock up on Lord-class meat..."
The women leapt to their feet, gear in hand:
"We're going!"
They got it: he needed Lord-Class meat.
And if Ye Yu could neutralize it... Even better.
"Wait—!"
Too late. They rushed down the stairs.
Problem: even with prey, the ingredients for treatment were missing.
Frustrated, Ye Yu opened four tabs simultaneously:
Dojo
Army
HR Alliance
Order split (to avoid information leaks):
Neutralizing Serum Ingredients (Intermediate/Advanced)
Psychic Weapon Materials
(Cost: 1M per Intermediate batch, 10M Advanced... But for a Supreme Warrior? Peanuts.)
Then...
"Custom Forge Order: Legendary Sword-Sheath."
Now that he was a Psychic Master, he needed flying blades worthy of the title.
