A big burp came from the beautiful maiden with no self-awareness, as Vishdair watched Lin Guang walk out of the kitchen again, placing a small piece of roasted camel hump sprinkled with spices in front of himself. She curiously asked, "Hmm? You can eat this stuff too?"

You have to know, as strong as Vishdair, she only ate two pounds of camel hump. The energy was fine, but it contained a relatively high concentration of fire attribute ether, making her feel as if she were being burned by an open flame all over.

Lin Guang sat down opposite Vishdair, "Before I started cutting, I had already transferred most of the fire attribute ether into your piece. After processing, this piece is edible for regular people, and I'm at least a Spirit Master, so my physical condition is stronger than an ordinary person."

"You can do this kind of thing?"

Lin Guang picked up a knife and fork to cut the hump, "Normally, people can't do it, but I'm a genius."

"What does delicious cooking have to do with being a genius Spirit Master?" She was apparently a bit doubtful.

Vishdair certainly did not know that the camel hump grilled for human consumption, or volcanic camel hump, could even make it onto the menu of a six-star hotel, usually requiring an experienced two-star Gourmet Miracle Master to master.

Of course, Lin Guang did not specifically explain the principles to show off. After all, Vishdair's mind simply does not support her understanding of such topics. He stuffed the cut, elastic gelatin into his mouth, chewed it, and suddenly paused.

First, he bit through the crispy crust, and then when the gelatin beneath was chewed and melted, a unique smoky flavor began to spread in his mouth, surging like tides on his taste buds. While not much of the fire attribute ether remained, it still brought a sensation to his mouth he couldn't distinguish as burning or warm.

Unable to help himself, he closed his eyes, "...So delicious."

It seems that whether one has an education or not, the first reaction is always this word.

Vishdair sat across from him, propping her chin with both hands, observing him eat, "Is this your first time eating it too?"

Lin Guang chewed slowly, savoring this unprecedented marvelous feeling, "Mm."

She casually remarked, "I thought someone like you, from a wealthy background, would be a bit more extravagant, growing up eating such delicacies."

"Why would you think that? You've lived in this house long enough to see that my family conditions are just average here."

"Do you take me for a fool?"

Vishdair clicked her tongue, "Even with single-sided information, you talked for so long and I deduced roughly. Your parents are researchers more formidable than that guy with glasses, right? That guy with glasses being so generous, what else would you be except a wealthy young master?"

"…"

Lin Guang's chewing stopped as he slightly bowed his head. The reflection on his lenses made it hard to see his eyes.

Even though she was in a relaxed, well-fed state, Vishdair did not miss his momentary abnormality, her lazy demeanor faded as she sat a bit straighter, opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

For Sakaz Mercenaries, relatives are a luxury among luxuries, she even didn't know what to say at this moment.

Lin Guang slowly raised his head, not displaying much emotion, "I can't remember."

"…" Vishdair pursed her lips, feigned indifference, waving her hand, "Well, I wasn't too concerned anyway."

"No, I really can't remember."

"To be precise, I have almost no memory of things before I was five. Why my family condition is like this, I do not know. I just know my parents' researcher identity is real; it can be verified."

"Ten years ago, during the beast tide invasion in Zhen Sheng City by the Demon Race, there were many casualties in our school year because of that incident. I was taken to a welfare institution like an orphanage and lived there for several years until it was confirmed I had self-sufficiency ability to return home."

"But, isn't this strange?" Vishdair couldn't help but ask, "For an ordinary person, it's forgivable, but how could someone like you not remember?"

"Perhaps something happened back then. I once agonized over why I forgot these things, over how I emerged from the shadow of my parents' passing, but those aren't the most important things."

Lin Guang calmly said, "For those without power, truth is a huge burden. Only by becoming strong enough can one do what they want."

After he spoke, Vishdair paused for a few seconds before nodding firmly, clearly agreeing with these words: "Only with strength can you discuss other things—the damned place in Kazdail taught me that too. It seems that even in another world, some things never change."

Then she suddenly became lively for unknown reasons, laughing heartily, "No problem, call me sister, and I'll look after you in the future."

Lin Guang gave Vishdair an up-and-down look—a mature figure which only overly firm curves and shapely physique justified, while the face still seemed a tad girlish—couldn't help but pop up a question mark: "?"

"What are you looking at, I'm at least a bit older than you!"

This line indeed amused Lin Guang, sweeping away the previous heaviness, "I don't really mind, I'm just afraid calling you sister daily might make you feel nauseated."

"Hmm… you're right."

Vishdair rubbed her shoulders as if goosebumps had formed, "Let's not."

…

After finishing dinner, Lin Guang washed the dishes while looking at his system panel, smiling like a farmer during autumn harvest.
