Shekki cleans the table afterwards. Washing the dishes and then goes to clean in the greenhouse. She is startled that the food and tea she served Orbit were now empty. It makes her happy.

'He must be hungry...should I try again?' She almost cried when he shouted at him. But for the sake of a nice working environment, she should try again.

After cleaning up, she knocks on the door.

"What?" Orbit angrily opening it.

Shekki gasps. "Senior? What happened to your cheek?"

Orbit eyes dilated. "W--why are you here?" He pouts.

Shekki is holding a tray of food.

Orbit saw it and looked away. "I don't need that."

Shekki sadly sighs. "Just a little before you sleep?"

'Did you forget I don't need it?' Orbit wants to say but sees Shekki looking extremely sad at him.

He points at his study table. "Just drop it there."

Shekki enters the room and puts the tray down. Then she walks to him. "Does it hurt? I will go get ice. Wait for me." Shekki said and runs to the kitchen

"W-wait!" Orbit is too late. The girl has run off. He grumbles. "That Ice bastard punched me so hard. Shit. It really hurts. What's his problem? Is he playing prince and saving damsel in distress now?" He snorts.

Shekki went to buy ice bag, ice and cream. She went back and gave it to Orbit.

"This cream will also help heal it." She just ordered something in her cheat. She really has no idea how to use it. 'How can someone like him get hurt like this? Unless it is the other guys? But he just gets back. Why would they hit him. Can it be because he ruined the atmosphere in the dining area? It's true that one appetite can be ruined by the foul mood.'

"Senior, you should not ruin the atmosphere on the table."

"What?"

Shekki looks serious. "I believe that everyone doesn't really need to eat but it seems important for them. So you should always be careful in front of the food so you won't be subjected to Master or Seniors anger."

Orbit stares at Shekki. "I think you are mistaken but whatever."

Shekki smiles since Orbit nods his head. "It is hard to suddenly like someone you just met. But I know Senior is very kind to me. I will do my best to learn your bottom line so...Please be patient with me."

Orbit is startled. Shekki bows her head and leaves him.

He frowns. And put the ice bag full of ice down and the cream.

He went to eat and was amazed with the food. After that, he fell asleep.

--

Shekki went to the greenhouse and looked at the pill Master gave her. In her hand is a large pill with a leafy green color.

She raised it up and squinted her eyes. "It's big for me to swallow it." She scratches her head. Pops it in her mouth and the hard pill suddenly melted.

"Bit---bitter!" She wants to throw it up but remember that it is her Master's reward for her. She swallows tearfully and starts cultivating.

Lan crosses his arms as he sits on the dining table. There's no food because Shekki is trying to break through her first bottle neck. Climbing to Earth Rank.

He walks to the greenhouse and sees Orbit there.

"Uy!" Lan eyes dilated.

Orbit glares at him. "Don't use your aura are you stupid!" Orbit angrily said.

Lan frowns. "You are protecting her?"

Orbit frowns "Shut up."

Orbit is sitting on the chair and looking at Shekki.

Shekki is full of sweat.

Lan sits down but Orbit glares at him. "That is not your seat." Then he points at the chair near him.

"I don't want to sit next to you." Lan said.

"It's her who chose the sitting pattern based on the sitting pattern in the dining area."

Lan sits next to him. "Since when did you start protecting her?"

"Been here from the start. Senior Melvin and even Master didn't say a word when they saw me. Only you, you bastard. Hitting someone's face. Are you mentally ill?"

Lan snorts.

Orbit eyes widen. "She is breaking through!"

Lan also looks at Shekki.

A gust of aura suddenly exploded out of her body. Breathes****

Shekki opens her purple eyes.

Blinking….

"Congratulations." Lan said.

Orbit snorts and leaves..

Shekki tilts her head.

"Eh? Senior Lan? Senior Orbit?" She is still in a sense of disarray. Then she suddenly shouted. "Ahhhhhhhhhh! Dark????! What time is it?"

Orbit flinched and looked back. "Idiot." He snorts again and walks away.

Lan rubs her head. "It's fine to skip one meal." He said. "Aren't you happy? You are an Earth Rank now."

Shekki blinks her eyes.

"Oh…..I am….Ahahhaha. I am! Thank you Senior." She happily smiles. "Ahhhhhhhhh!!"

Lan made a chopping head knock.

"Ouch…..Senior. That hurts." She said tugging his sleeve.

Lan sighs "Stop shouting."

"But my laundry….My laundry…"

"Let's collect them."

Shekki smiles as she rubs her head. "Yes, Senior!"

Early the next morning, she cooked a feast to apologize for last night.

They all ate quietly.

Melvin smiles and congratulates Shekki.

Gander too. "Here. Buy something good for yourself." Instead of points, Gander gave her money.

Shekki happily accepts it. "Master, can I buy some pill to lengthen mortal's life span?"

"For your father?" Gander asks the girl who crouched down beside his chair so he won't have to look up. Those are Shekki's habits that he did ask her to not do but she keeps doing.

Shekki smiles. "Yes."

Gander snorts. "That father who annulled your engagement and gave it to your younger sister?"

Shekki smiles disappear.

"He is not that bad. He is a patriarch before he is a father. He needs to make sure our family will prosper despite what is happening. My ex fiance's family is more powerful in the south and being engaged with him will find more opportunity for the family. Please do not think badly of him."

Gander rubs her head.

Shekki felt happy.

"Being petted by a hottie. I can die happy."

Gander smirks. "Then die."

"Not now!" Shekki pouts and grins.
