"Thank you very much." Yueliang says as the others had already started digging into their als with their chopsticks. Even Xue iren who was using her chi just to use the chopsticks, just to match her company, rather than using her chi directly on the food.
After saying which, Yueliang quickly got to eating his food as well while watching the arenas again. anwhile the servers behind them, each used their mana to create a stool for them to sit on, that they may be able to get up quickly in case they were asked sothing or got more orders.
While each of them where eating and watching, Yue starts thinking to himself. 'I forgot how good it feels to relax sotis. Either way, tomorrow will be busy with the auction. Oh right! The auction, well too late to worry about it now, as it begins at about noon. Regardless, I trust my people, they certainly will not let down.'
Having finished his thought, his focus imdiately travels back on to the arenas, where he saw the two musicians leaving the stage, and the sa going for the the two duelists. The female magic swordswoman smiling at her win, but at the sa ti trying to cheer up her male duelist friend. The musicians just bowed to each other in respect of the others skill and went their separate ways.
Seeing the empty two arenas, four out of the group, basically everyone excluding Qing were waiting for the next set to co on stage. After a few monts, two people began walking up to one of the two empty arenas.
At this mont, Shen Hu speaks up. "Yueliang, want to have a match with ? You can choose the type, since I am challenging you that is."
"Sure, however since I cannot play an instrunt that is out, and I do not know much of the others, except what I saw of the magic swordsman dueling, and kick boxing." Yueliang explains, while feeling a little excited to try sothing new.
"Alright, then shall we do the magic sword duel?" Shen Hu asks, while thinking to himself with an excited smile on his face. 'This should be very fun, since magic is based off of cultivation, but basically tricks for beginners. Thus we will essentially be playing with our cultivation. It has been a while since I have done such a thing.'
"Great, want to head down now then?" Yueliang asks after taking the last bite of his food.
"Of course not, why would I let such good food get cold?" He replies.
"You do realize that I can just keep it the sa as it is now in my inventory right? Thus you could have it whenever you want." Yueliang questions, as he is more interested in the fight now, than making everyone wait for them so they could have their fun later.
"Okay, you have convinced . Do you mind putting it in your inventory, so that we can begin? Thank you very much for this." Shen Hu answers while looking into Yues' eyes.
Hearing that, Yueliang swiftly raises and swings his arm across in a line pulling in all of the dishes that are Shen Hus' into his inventory as if he has a black hole for a hand. "All done, let us begin." Yueliang says as he turns around to start heading down the stairs. Without even looking back, he has a feeling that Shen Hu is not following, yet proceeds anyway.
anwhile, the tiger in question, decides to jump off the railing, and into the open dueling arena. Of course, he is still in his human form, that has his tiger ears and tail making it obvious he is not human. However what surprised the spectators the most was the fact that this creature seemingly had no regard for the owners and would rather jump around, than use the stairs like a refined individual.
So of the people even stood up, about to head towards the stage, as they were angry at whoever did not respect the owner. The owner of this establishnt, while she may be a sky orc, she is also the top talent among them. Thus given such availability of resources as Yueliang has provided them so far, she has been making large strides. These people were hoping that by punishing this unruly tiger, they might earn a favor from one of their own. Of course, should they have known it was Shen Hu, King Yueliangs' mount, they would not dare to have such thoughts.
Just before so of the people were about to step towards the stage, they noticed Yueliang their king, heading up there. Thus they quickly start to quiet down, and begin to focus their attention on that stage, including those in the other three arenas.
"Really Shen Hu? I know you are excited, but we are about to play. Could you really not hold it in for a few more seconds?" Yueliang asks aloud, that others could hear. Not to scare them off, but simply because he did not want them to think he gives special treatnt.
Since Shen Hu is in his human form, he chooses to use his voice rather than soul communication this ti, laughing and saying. "Haha, sorry, guess excitent got the best of . Shall we begin?"
"*Sigh. Yes, after the judge arrives." Yueliang replies, as they wait for a judge to approach the stage.
---- anwhile ----
"So that is Shen Hu? He has a human form, good to know." One of the on lookers said quietly to themselves.
Another onlooker said to soone sitting next to them. "Look at that, even while knowing he can, our king still chooses not to give preferential treatnt. How noble."
A child watching says to their guardian. "I wonder who will win?"
Such comnts, and questions continue to spread around the building, on both floors. Even a few leaving just to bring more people with the news of such an event going on. The sky orcs begin flooding in as a judge that happens to be an earth elental approaches to the stage. Looking human and small one might wonder if it was actually a young adult human rather than an elental if not for the floating pieces of earth around it.
---- Back On The Stage ----
Standing on the stage waiting, sitting in either corner of the square stage, Shen Hu and Yueliang look at each other feeling a little bored, until they happen to see the judge approaching. The mont the judge it 4 ters from the stage, a pillar of rock shoots out of the round at its feet launching it onto the stage. Then an instant later the ground returns to its original shape as if nothing happened, and the judge stands from his punching the ground pose/ landing.
"I apologize for making esteed guests wait, my lunch break just finished. Are both sides ready? Do you know the rules?" The earth elental asks.
Yueliang then asks a question instead of answering. "So you only get an incense sticks' burn ti for your break?"
"Yes, and it is more than enough. Thus without further ado, do you know the rules, and are you ready?" He asks once more, as he does not want to get in trouble for wasting ti.
Shen Hu intercedes this ti. "Yes, we are ready, and Yes, we know the rules." Just wanting to begin this match already, Shen Hu says they know the rules.
"Great, so then you know, should you break the rules, you will be kick out of this establishnt for good. No exceptions according to the boss lady." He says before continuing. "Begin."
'Just wonder. Well, hopefully we do not get into trouble.' Yueliang thinks to himself, as he does not want to have to miss out on the excitent here.
Hearing the judge say 'begin' the two imdiately use only the type of chi that is classified as mana. Yueliang quickly forms a Jian Tang sword. Shen Hu then forms a twin dao tai chi. Thus while Shen Hu has as sword that becos two, Yueliang uses one. The two charge at each other about to swing at each other before they hear. "Stop!"
The two instantly stop their movents before looking to the side to see who it was that called out. Even the judge and spectators look to the side to see who it was.
A beautiful young lady walks towards thee stage while saying. "I apologize for stopping your fun, however there are so things I need to speak with King Yueliang about."
Hearing this Yueliang walks towards the lady, while the sword in his hand dissipates into thin air, saying. "What matter could be so urgent that little miss Blake has co to see ." Yueliang teases her a little, even knowing that they all put him first.
"It is a private matter, so please follow . .... Unless of course you want everyone to hear. I just figured you would want to be more discreet." She teases back.
"Alright, I get it lead the way." Yueliang says, having a rough idea of what is going on.
