Life Drain System

    However as he looks up to see all the teary eyed people all round him, he notices they are charging at him. Then all of a sudden he is encased in a small group hug, as well as the surprised yet also not surprised physician.

    Still lying down, and covered in ice, Yue blows it off of his body with his chi, turning it into water vapor as it leaves his body. Then reciprocating their hug, Yue continues. "Awe, thank you everyone for the hugs. I missed you all as well. While I was only awake part of the time I was out, I know you all tried your best. By the way, could you tell me how the others who were asleep are doing? I heard the tigers were waking them, but it seems some have awoken seeing that Blake is here."

    Quickly answering his question while separating from the hug as well as the others Blake says with a straight face and all serious except her eyes that indicated something else. "Shen Hu, and Huoli have been working hard, and about 2 thousand or so are awake, thus it should only take a few more days to have everyone up and back to their daily routines."

    Hearing this, Yue asks. "So is there anything else that I should know about? I assume we are on another world since there is this man that, no offence good sir, I do not recognize."

    The old man Bingwen, stands up as the others had finally made way for him. Meanwhile saying. "Do not worry young man, I understand. My name is Bingwen, an alchemist and physician for Patriarch Shins\' Sect.

    Promptly replying, Yue says with a light bow. "It is a pleasure to meet you, and thank you for helping me with my health situation. I just hope I did not cause you too much trouble."

    Bingwen kindly replies. "Not to worry, such is the proffession that I have chosen. I love helping and guiding the future generations as well as those that are of the prior if I am capable."

    "Well thank you very much once more for your help." Yue says to Bingwen, then waiting for the reply from those around him.

    A few seconds later, Yin answers. "Well, before I answers your question, is it alright to discuss with our guest here?"

    Just as Yueliang is about to say something, Bingwen not wanting to cause any trouble says. "Do not worry, I will step outside. Please do not worry, however if one of you would be so kind as to send me back that would be great, as I do have a few others to assist today."

    Hearing the obvious excuse clearly given out of kindness, Yue just smiles before saying. "I apologize that I cannot do it myself after what you have done for me, but I am still a little weak. However Blake if you do not mind, would you please guide our honored guest out?"

    Blake nods and knowing that the old man is kind and proper, proceeds to guide him out of the room without complaint. However upon leaving the room she says to him. "I hope you do not think that our young master means anything extra by sending me instead of Rei or one of the others."

    Figuring that was probably the case, he says. "Do not worry, I understand. Also even if I had, I do not partake in such unseemly displays of affection."

    "Thank you, it seems I have misjudged you Bingwen." Blake replies, and Bingwen does not say another word for now, just smiling and nodding that he understands.

    A little while later, Blake says. "I hope you have a good day, and that one day we may meet again." She says as the man begins to disappear with a smile.

---- Meanwhile Elsewhere A Few Moments Earlier ----

    Yin speaks up. "So to catch you up, there were a few main events that happened since you were out of it. After you teleported us away, we took the ship and left the planet. The wendigos followed us, however we eventually teleported way from them, making them think we killed ourselves. After we got out of that solar system, we flew around for a short while before coming across the patriarch of this sect who is helping us, and who sent the alchemist."

    Hearing the brief explanation of what has occurred since, Yue asks with very little surprise. "Is that all or is there anything else I missed?"

    After having said what he did, Yin feeling that Yue obviously knew something continues. "Well there was another alchemist who we found but they turned on us, but that was resolved quickly by the Patriarch Shin."

    *Sigh. "I worry that before we leave this place, we may owe him too much already." Yue says under his breath, but just loud enough they all can hear him.

    Hearing this, those around look a little disappointed in themselves as they wish they could have found some other way, but at least they did not cause harm to their friends nor family. This alone was enough to lift their spirits slightly, not to mention what Yue is about to say.

    Yue adds on to what he said, this time in a normal voice. "Look, I do not mean anything negative by that. I am actually quite proud of how you handled all of this. While you could have let me die, you went through all of the troubles you have to save me, as well as your kins men. In addition to that, you managed to make a temporary ally, but an ally for us none the less."

    Regardless of feeling better hearing this, Shen Hu chimes in. "While I am not trying to put anyone down or other wise I feel you should know the details to which allowed us this current situation. The high orc Rei decided to make a trade, where they assist us among other things, in exchange for our knowledge. More specifically any that you or the high orcs do not have a problem sharing, and while we started this as a deal, it seems Shin is genuine about the friendship we have, at least for now."

    "I see, still you all did well. Either way, Shen Hu and Huoli, thank you so much for your hard work. Once I have some more strength in my body again, I will assist with bringing the others back. Also, I think that later, we should get more of these pills from the alchemist in case of another such emergency in the future. Now, while I do not plan on this happening again, it is best to be prepared, and I could feel that a day longer and I would have been dead. But that does not matter now, since you all managed to save me." Yueliang said in order to get a timeline of sorts of what they should work on for now.

    Now having given a base for what to do for now, Yin says. "I will go find that alchemist and see what sort of deal we can work out for more of those pills. Shen Hu and Huoli should probably continue resting as they have been working around the clock. Yue, when you see Blake, if you could send her to help the others with repairs on this space ship, that would be very useful, and likely get us off of this asteroid all the sooner."

    Thus those in the room began to leave, and Yueliang stays laying down pondering to himself. \'Asteroid? Do they mean it is a dwarf planet, or are we really on an asteroid? I mean they do not have an atmosphere, but then again, alchemists, patriarchs, sects.... WAIT WHAT?!? We are in a cultivation solar system, no, galaxy, obviously they would have taken it over by now. Ugh, of all the dangerous places we could have gone, and they called it safe. *sigh. It seems I need to explain some things to them later.\'

    Meanwhile, seeing the people leaving from Yueliangs\' room, an elegant young lady walks into it once they are gone. As she walks in with a silver plater in her hands, with food and silver ware on top, she says with a shy tone. "Hello Yueliang, you are awake, how exciting. I brought some food that I hope will suit your tastes. Please let me know what you think."

    Looking at the tray full of his favorite deserts, including the ice cream fudge cookie cake, as well as a wonderful fennel and licorice tea to enjoy with it. Seeing it all full of sweets, Yue says. "Thank you Orslaine, it looks delicious, and I cannot wait to try it. It has been a little while, I apologize about that, but I am curious. Since when did you start cooking?"

    "I have been learning with Victoria, she has been teaching me since a little before we moved to the world we just left. Either way, I am new at baking, and cooking, so hopefully it turned out well.." Orslaine replies shyly.
