Returning to his room, the first thing Ye Ling did was summon Blood Phantom and Feng Jiu.
“Ah! It’s so much more comfortable outside.”
As soon as she appeared, Feng Jiu landed directly on the coffee table and took a deep breath.
For some reason, Feng Jiu really disliked staying inside the Spiritual Pet Seal.
“Master.”
Blood Phantom obediently approached Ye Ling, always ready for his command.
Compared to the lively and active Feng Jiu, Ye Ling naturally preferred the well-behaved Blood Phantom.
Quietly staying by his side, it felt so much better this way.
Ye Ling took out the items he had bought outside, including many delicious treats.
When Feng Jiu saw the food, her eyes lit up, and she eagerly grabbed some to start eating immediately.
Most of what Feng Jiu took were snacks, which Ye Ling had prepared to keep her quiet, so she wouldn’t chatter as usual.
As for Blood Phantom, Ye Ling hadn’t forgotten her this time.
Demon blood was quite common in the market, so Ye Ling bought some for Blood Phantom to try.
After all, Blood Phantom usually didn’t eat anything and couldn’t eat anything except blood.
Now that Ye Ling had plenty of credit points, he certainly wouldn’t neglect Blood Phantom.
All the demon blood was bottled, and he handed one to Blood Phantom while storing the rest in the system space.
Since it’s blood, it doesn’t last long, but in the system space, where time doesn’t exist, it won’t spoil.
Looking at the bottle handed to her, Blood Phantom first glanced at Ye Ling with some confusion.
But soon, she caught a faint scent of blood coming from the bottle in Ye Ling’s hand.
Blood Phantom’s eyes lit up immediately, and she carefully took the bottle from Ye Ling, sipping it cautiously.
Upon tasting the blood, Blood Phantom’s eyes shone brightly, as if a light flickered within them.
Although Blood Phantom didn’t need to eat, she had a special fondness for blood.
Demon blood could also help Blood Phantom gain some growth, though it was very limited.
But something was better than nothing. Advancing to the next level of growth was indeed challenging, but every little bit helped.
After settling Blood Phantom and Feng Jiu, Ye Ling began preparing his dinner, and of course, there was a portion for Feng Jiu too.
If he only made his own and not Feng Jiu’s, he probably wouldn’t have any peace tonight.
…
Meanwhile, Yun Yi, who had just finished her training, only now received the news that Ye Ling had returned from the Secret Realm.
At this moment, Yun Yi naturally wouldn’t forget to give Ye Ling a call to check in.
Ye Ling, busy cooking, naturally heard his phone ringing.
Seeing the name on the caller ID, Ye Ling remembered Yun Yi, who had entered the academy with him.
Since the start of the semester, he hadn’t contacted her at all.
Answering the call, Ye Ling said, “Hey! Yun Yi, sorry, I’ve been in the Secret Realm these past few days and didn’t have time to call you.”
Upon hearing his voice, Yun Yi smiled sweetly, her voice gentle. “No, no! You couldn’t contact me from the Secret Realm. I just finished training and saw the news that you were out, so I called you right away.”
Unlike Ye Ling, Yun Yi had to undergo related training from her teachers every day.
This was something all new students had to go through, except for Ye Ling, who was an exception.
“Have you had dinner yet? Want to come over and eat with me? I bought a lot of ingredients and made some dishes. You can join me.”
While cooking, Ye Ling extended an invitation to Yun Yi.
On the other end, Yun Yi was momentarily stunned by his words.
Then, a joyful smile appeared on her face, and she asked excitedly, “Really?! You can cook? Great! I’ve been training all day and I’m exhausted. Tell me the address, and I’ll come over right away!”
Since enrolling, she and Ye Ling had barely seen each other, and it seemed it would continue this way.
Now that Ye Ling had actively invited her to his place, Yun Yi certainly wouldn’t refuse.
Once she knew the place, Yun Yi could visit anytime.
At Vermilion Bird Academy, Yun Yi knew very few people, with Ye Ling and her teaching instructor Hong Xiu being the most familiar.
Being able to have a meal and chat with someone from her hometown was a comforting thought for Yun Yi, making her feel at ease.
Therefore, Ye Ling’s invitation made Yun Yi very happy.
“Alright, hurry over. I’m still cooking. The address is xxxx…”
“Wait for me, I’ll be there soon!”
After getting the address, Yun Yi immediately hung up the phone.
