Life Drain System

'Well it is nice that I leveled up, and that I even got more health than before. However it seems I really have to worry about how I use my years from now on. This is really dangerous, I know I was warned by Yang before, but wow. Oh well, at least I learned something new. Anyways, at least the snow leopards home is made, and next to the tigers. After I finally get better, I still have to hold the auction, and do a few other things. Which reminds me, how is the progress on the space ship?' Yue thought to himself as he watched the cute tigers purring in their sleep, and being tempted to pet their soft fur.

---- A Few Hours Later ----

The two tigers then  *Yawn as they awoke slowly still about to look up to see their sleeping master.

"Good morning, did you sleep well?" Yueliang asked them with a smile, shocking them, as they thought he would still be resting.

"Good morning." They replied, very happily before Huoli continues. "Please do not worry us like that again."

"Of course. I will definitely do my best not to worry you in the future." Yueliang looks as her as though she were a innocent child, from her adorable reaction, until he remembered the gory site, and thought that Shen Hu was very fortunate to have her.

After their short exchange of pleasantries, Xue Meiren started walking in saying in a relaxed just woken up voice. "Good morning, time to swap. *Yawn" upon opening her eyes, she exclaims. "Yueliang, you are awake, I was so worried." Completely forgetting about the tigers and jumping on top of Yueliang.

You could almost see the sweat drop on their faces while they smiled at each other with a face that said. 'Of course, what else can one expect from someone in love?'

"Oof, So I have decided, there is something I want to do. Every month, I will send out five hundred of the Sky Orcs for a mandatory vacation. While they may choose to spend the vacation however they want, they will be required to spend one month out of the town. This is because I want them to have fun, experience more, and maybe even learn something. What do you all think?" Yueliang asked.

"Why did you not say hello to me?" Meiren asks curiously and kind of sad.

"Sorry, I did not mean to ignore you, there was just a good idea in my mind. Good morning Xue Meiren, you look great, and feel soft. Now, what do you all think?"

Shen Hu speaks up first. "I think it is a wonderful idea, however they prefer to spend their time just researching right? So how exactly could you get them to enjoy it unless you made a special place for them... Actually, why not make it the town next time you expand? It is perfect, although should we do about the goblins, and humans?"

"Hmm, you make some great points. I guess we could ask the humans, and goblins? Until then, what about you three?"

Xue Meiren began to speak this time. "I do not know about these divine tigers, however I choose to stay by your side."

"I see... and your opinion?" Yue looks at the tigers with a curious gaze.

Shen Hu looks at Huoli, and after a meaningful mysterious gaze, they nod to each other before the male tiger speaks again. "We have decided to stay with you as well, of course we may need some time for our cub, however aside from that, it seems more fun, and better to stay by your side. That is if you are alright with it. Plus, we would get to travel just by following you anyway."

"You make good points, alright I agree to you following me However, if you three ever change your minds, please let me know. In the mean time, although I do have to take it easy until the week is out, there are still many things for me to take care of."

The three nodded, and seeing that Yueliang is trying to get up, Shen Hu steps forward while transforming, and gets ready to help him at a moments notice, should he need it.

Yue then began to stab up, holding on to Shen Hus' arm to keep himself balanced. He stood, yet still his legs were very wobbly. *Thud. Yueliang fell to his knees, and looks so sad as he was not able to use his body like normal. In his eyes one could see he was holding back his sadness as he was not able to walk and thought to himself. 'How can this be? When will I finally be able to walk again?'

Seeing his friend and king like this, Shen Hu transformed back and says. "How about using me as your mount for now. At least until you can get back up on your feet. We cannot let your people see you like this, nor our enemies." He tried tried to reason it out to those around him, and Yueliang so he would be more willing as he felt slightly embarrassed thinking. 'If only he was a higher rank cultivator this would not seem so embarrassing, however if others knew the truth about him, I am sure they would be fighting over just getting to be his mount.'

Yueliang thought to himself, and figured his friend was right, so he rose his arm around Shen Hus' back, and then his leg before pulling himself up with the help of Huoli, before saying. "I am sorry to burden you like this, but also thank you so much. By the way, am I making you uncomfortable Shen Hu?" He asked as he was worried about injuring him by accident, while laying face forward on his back.

"You are fine my friend, so where are we going?" Shen Hu asked, while noticing Yue still seems a bit hazy with his eyes half shut.

"Please, take me to Rei, there are some matters I need to discuss with him. Then to see how Yins' teaching is going with Fashi and his granddaughter, before I speak with him."

"Alright." Shen Hu said while beginning to head down the stairs. Huoli and Xue Meiren decided that they would stay and wait, as they clean up the place, and prepare dinner.

On the back of the tiger, Yueliang stared of into space as he remembered the days of his childhood, back when he briefly saw his father and the days when he used to play by himself. Then he started thinking. 'Although I am glad to have all of these great friends and everything, it seems I would be much farther along had I not decided to add weight to carry to myself. Yet at the same time, would I really have grown as fast, let alone survive the world being consumed?'

After leaving the house, the tiger moved at a leisurely pace, as he was worried that in Yueliangs' condition, he might either worsen or fall off. Either way, Shen Hu continued moving through the inner city, familiarizing himself with the terrain. Eventually the two gave up, and decided to head back.

"Hello, I am back. I heard that you were looking for me for something?" Rei said standing behind the two startling them slightly.

Seeing it was Rei, Shen Hu calmed and Yueliang sat up weakly saying. "Hello, is it finished yet??"

"Ah, yes, the ship has been finished for about 2 days. Speaking of which, I went to tell you, however it seems you were not available. Either way, is there anything else?"

"So the ship is ready for flight? That is wonderful. Anyways, I wanted to mention that I have some plans I will be putting in place soon, that I hope you all will enjoy."

Worried, Rei asks. "What exactly are those plans? Also, as for the ship, yes it is completely built, however there is one little problem."

"You will find out in time, however I am more concerned about this problem. Please explain more about this." Yue replies curiously.

"Well, we do not have an accurate star chart of where ever we are, thus even if you decided to fly, you would have to map everything as you go." Rei looked disappointed that he could not map out where they currently are.

"Hahaha. And here I was worried it would be something serious. I can deal with that no problem. Either way, please thank the others for me as I am currently busy with some other matters. Do not worry I will not be leaving just yet." Yueliang said and then he said with soul communication. "Shen Hu, shall we head to see Yin now?"

"Of course." Shen Hu nodded and left, while Rei just stood there pondering what Yueliang could have meant by not having a star chart was not a problem, as mapping galaxies is necessary to know where you are going and at the same time, extremely difficult.
