Of course Ming Xi wasn't going to share this with them. Let them figure it out on their own. All he said was, "I see."

Ai Lin was shaken. What a heartthrob! She'd seen her share of gorgeous men from her previous life, but Ming Xi was in a league of his own.

Zi Cheng was also dazed, but she was a practical person so she got over it quickly with only a lingering flush on her cheeks as a reminder.

Jier didn't even notice the girls' reactions. He looked at Ming Xi and said, "Senior Sister Elena was injured on the last floor so Gerasi stayed behind to take care of her. Wind and Rain are sword masters so they stayed behind too."

"Elena's hurt? Is it serious?" Elena was like a sister to all the boys so it was natural for Ming Xi to be worried.

"It's not serious. Just half her body is burned." Jier replied indifferently.

Zi Cheng and Ai Lin looked at Jier incredulous. Burns over 50% of the body wasn't serious? What the heck do you consider serious then?!

Feng Wu was worried. Elena's injury wasn't serious, but she was still hurt. "Senior Sister Elena is really OK?" She bit her lip in worry. She liked Elena and didn't want her to be hurt.

"Don't worry. Even if she's so burned she doesn't look like a person anymore, as long as she sees a light magician or gets proper medicine once we get out of here, she should be fine. Her burns will heal and there won't even be any scarring. I guarantee it." Jier said with confidence as he patted Feng Wu's head.

Feng Wu didn't think Jier would lie to her so she was relieved and her whole body relaxed. She took out a meat bun from her dimensional ring.

Her abilities had been restricted inside the Nightmare corridor so she hadn't been able to access her ring. Now that she could, it was time to eat well. She popped a few tiny buns into her mouth and the smell of delicious steamed meat wafted in the air.

It was such a wonderful smell that it made everyone's tummies rumble. Even Ming Xi was hungry.

Zi Cheng and Ai Lin had even better food in their rings. They had dishes like roasted chicken, sliced duck breast, pork cutlets, potato cakes, and yam soup.

Feng Wu stared at their food intently as soon as they came out. Her expression said: I want to eat that!

"Everyone, come on over. Let's eat together. We don't know what tests await us. This way we'll have energy for it." Zi Cheng smiled beautifully as she said this.

"Yes, let's all eat together. I made roast chicken and tonkatsu. So she's a j.a.panese person then. My cooking skills aren't as good as Zi Cheng's so if there's anything about it you don't like please speak up; I can handle the critique." Ai Lin adorably stuck out her tongue after saying so.

It was a cute and playful pose, but unfortunately neither of the two guys in front of her were interested in girls. One had seen so many beauties he was immune, the other, well...

Zi Cheng praised Ai Lin with, "Ai Lin, you're too modest. The dishes you make smell wonderful. I'm sure they'll be delicious," making herself appear modest in the process.

There were so many wonderful looking dishes in front of her. Feng Wu was not going to be polite.

Jier was hungry too. He'd already ate some of the store in his ring. They weren't as fancy as Ai Lin's and Zi Cheng's, just chicken legs, and barbeque.

Ming Xi wasn't going to stand on ceremony either. Everyone was famished after all the time in the tomb and all the fighting they had to do. They sat down and began to eat.

Sixth Elder Falay and Captain Cohen were close to the group so the smells easily wafted over to them. Falay was focused on the inheritance so he had no interest in the food. Cohen on the other hand was more pragmatic. He took a bottle of ale and some chicken out of his ring and found a corner to sit and eat. The dishes weren't as fancy as the kids' but he ate well enough.

As they were eating, a copper gate appeared in the center of the hall and an old man and young girl stepped through. The girl looked like a clever child. She was very cute with beautiful eyes that you could get lost in. She was about the same age as Feng Wu.

In contrast, the old man looked ancient. Despite this he gave off an air of vigor and energy. No one dared look down on them. The fact that they made it into the top ten was a testament to their abilities.

The new arrivals gave everyone a glance; their gazes lingered on Feng Wu for a moment, before moving on. The girl helped the old man to a corner, and sat down quietly.

The last arrival showed up fifteen minutes later. It was Inferno's third squad vice-captain, Milien. He was a powerful gold magician who easily rivalled Sixth Elder Falay. In fact he was so strong he could probably beat Captain Cohen, but few knew of him because he preferred to keep a low profile and rarely made public appearances.

Falay's expression changed when he saw Milien. He had thought Cohen was his only obstacle, so he hadn't been too concerned since Cohen was a sword master, therefore wouldn't be interested in the inheritance. He only needed to watch out in case Cohen wanted to be a b.a.s.t.a.r.d and make things difficult for him.

But things were different with Milien in the picture. He wasn't sure how strong Milien was, but he knew Milien was a magician and the vice-captain of the third squad. Falay was a powerful magician, but he would have a hard time if Cohen and Milien worked together.

Milien could get the inheritance if Cohen distracted him.
