The young official felt a chill traverse his body as his mind wandered in imaginary higher realms. He dreamed of heavenly valleys and mysterious temples. He dreamed of unearthing the several treasuries that they contained. He would stand proudly in front of the heavens. Accompanied by numerous otherworldly fairies and realm-toppling maiden, he dreamed of toasting with the sun and the moon itself.As he lost himself in his reveries, the excitation he felt was shown clearly on his face as he chuckled. The dumb expression on his face made Fell doubt his choice.
"Was he really a good choice?", he thought as he saw Wind shiver from pleasure. "Ahem…", coughed Fell to grab Wind"s attention but to no avail. Fell coughed several times in a row but stopped after a few tries. Seeing that Wind was seriously lost in his dream, he approached him and lifted his limb. His serratus anterior contracted and his limb flashed in front of him.
Clap! He clapped his hand together producing a violent boom. The soundwave reverberated for a few seconds in the room before dying. A shocked expression appeared on Fell"s face, "Even this sound can"t take him out of his dreams", he mumbled with his fingers placed on his lips. "Well, it must be related to the fact that he is a soul cultivator…"
Time pa.s.sed and an annoyed Fell sent his soul energy straight toward Wind"s. "This should shock him away from his dreams!", as he talked, it was as if his words willed it; And Wind unintentionally released a pained yap with a hiss.
"Why did you do that…" Wind mumbled with a sad tone. Fell didn"t know if he wanted to laugh or cry in front of the puppy-eyed Wind. He lifted his hand to his face and coughed before locking his sight on Wind.
"You lost yourself in your dreams… What a great soul cultivator… What were you dreaming about?" Fell looked straight into Wind"s eyes while crossing his arms.
"Uhmm…", a bashful expression painted Wind"s face red. Hopefully, he quickly recovered himself and fluidly spoke, "Nothing important Senior! This little one only dreamed about some little success that I hope to achieve during this lowly one"s life."
Good wits and a sharp tongue were Wind"s weapon during his whole life. He quickly understood during his childhood that if he spoke long enough, he might get whatever he wanted. This skill was further tempered during his time as an official where he had the opportunity to learn the famed persuasive skill. What was black would become white, and what was white could be turned into black.
Learning from the very best, he had rarely been beaten in a fight of words. And even in front of Fell, he managed to evade his question skillfully without any difficulty.
"But it"s true that what I saw… How it felt like… It felt all too real… Is this part of my abilities as a soul cultivator…" Wind pondered on the matter as he followed Fell in his steps.
"Are you hungry?" Asked Fell without turning around.
"Yes Senior. I could eat a bull at this point!" He mindlessly spoke to show his enthusiasm.
"Drop the Senior, our age isn"t too different.", responded Fell tonelessly.
"Even if it"s true, Senior is still the one who is introducing me to the concepts of cultivation…", he went again with his usual bravado. He looked saddened, and it was with an expression that showed his mixed feeling that he nodded and agreed to Fell"s remark.
"Big Brother Fell", he timidly blurted while blushing. His voice was soft and as soon as it entered Fell"s ear, he felt a chill traverse his spine and paused during his steps.
"That"ll do the job…" Fell"s speech and walking speed augmented as he distanced himself from the young official. Wind followed closely behind Fell, as he walked his sight was locked on the ground and he mumbled "Big Brother Fell" with a soft voice. His eyes sparkled and the more he repeated it, the stranger it sounded when it entered Fell"s ears.
It was with this weird vibe that they entered the kitchen. Fell swiftly sat down in front of the dinner he cooked and began eating without a word.

"Are we having guests tonight Big Brother Fell?" Wind soft voice spread through the question as he saw Fell attack the gigantic portion of meat and mashed potatoes.
Fell turned deaf during the rest of the meal as he wolfed on the gargantuan meal.
