"Who did you ravage this time?" Kai heard Gaia speak as he and Laofen appeared in the throne room.

It was empty as Gaia was standing in the middle of it with the three elemental rulers standing behind her.

"I didn't ravage anyone. I just made love with someone." Kai replied as Gaia raised her eyebrows.

"That's basically the same thing." She replied with a small smile as her expression then hardened.

"Will you guys leave us alone for some time?" Gaia said as the three girls and Laofen left the room.

"What did you want to talk about?" Kai asked as he moved forward and Gaia's eyes hardened.

"Follow me." She said while gesturing for Kai to follow her as she rose in the air and zoomed towards another section of the palace.

"Put a barrier here." She said as they appeared on a balcony.

Both of them sat down as a golden barrier covered the entire balcony. In the distance, the sun was slowly setting down.

"I want to come back." Gaia slowly whispered as she pulled her legs closer to her chest and rested her head on them.

"So what is stopping you?" Kai asked as Gaia turned her face towards him in sadness.

"I am not coming back just to die again and I know that you can't resurrect me anymore. You have some major enemies Kai and they are more powerful than you. The Divine Emperor is like an ant compared to the real enemies." Gaia said as Kai frowned.

"How do you know that?" Kai asked as Gaia shook her head and gave him a sad smile.

"I can't tell you anything else, Kai. You will have to either find it on your own or wait for Kosma to tell you." Gaia said with a wink as Kai's eyes widened.

"How did you..." He began to ask but stopped when Gaia put one of her fingers on his lips."I just told you not to ask me anything. Anyways, I hope you survive this. I am going back now. Tell those three that they can visit me anytime they want." Gaia said as she rose in the air and smiled at Kai before she flew away.

"Gaia, what is it that you know and I don't?" Kai muttered as he stood up and left the balcony.

As soon as he entered the throne room, he blinked the confusion as all of his girls were present there.

Even Qin has somehow magically recovered as she was standing near the group with a small smile.

Risea was also present here though her body was full of a restless energy as she couldn't standstill.

Sahara on the other hand was standing still as she smiled at Kai and clapped her hands. One by one, the girls took out some storage rings.

"What are you guys do-" Kai began and stopped when he saw the stuff that came out of the storage rings.

Tables upon tables of various food items were set in the throne room as Kai's eyes widened. A shiver passed through his body as he looked at the food.

'I wonder how much of this stuff is edible.' He wondered as Risea stepped forward and extended her palm towards Kai.

"This is a taste-changing pill. I have been trying to create this for the past weeks since I knew about this. Eat it and anything that you will eat will taste good. This is in case of emergencies." Risea said with a wink as she dropped the pill back in Kai's hand and stepped back.

"What did you all make?" Kai asked with a smile as he looked at the various items around him.

"I made the desserts." Mia said proudly as Kai silently sighed in relief.

"We made the main course." Mariel said as she pointed at herself, Levina and Hela.

Kai immediately sweatdropped when he heard that. Mariel loved spicy food while Hela preferred sweet food.magicLevina on the other hand preferred anything that gave her energy. A mixture of this was something that Kai didn't want to taste.

"We created drinks and case you were thirsty."Riang added as she gestured across feh women from the mortal realm.

Kai had no idea how their cooking was so he just smiled politely before he turned towards Sahara.

"I created the starter." She said as Kai's face went blank as he remembered an incident from the past.

While he had been living with the sins, Sahara had once decided to treat him to food. But when she had come back, she had laid three live chickens on a table and had asked Kai to eat them.

After that, he had never asked her to prepare food for him again.

"Let's see what new horrors I have to deal with today." Kai said to himself as he stepped forward and started eating.

He started with Sahara's starter which was thankfully cooked properly. It was a small fish which looked all right but Kai was sweating as he picked up the fish and took a bite.

'Oh, that's bland.' Kai thought as he felt Sahara looking at him with an expectant expression.

"It's good." Kai said to her with a smile and she smiled back and moved away.

'At least it's edible. I wonder what more horrors I have to face tonight.' Kai wondered as the night progressed on.

"Wow, you guys sure had a party." Laofen exclaimed as she entered the hall after a few minutes to find Kai standing there alone.

She had been hearing the noises from the outside and was surprised by how loud they were.

"Honestly, that was pretty mild and contained since the girls were thinking about you and your palace. Otherwise, something else could have happened and it would have been twice as large." Kai said as Laofen fell silent.

"Laofen I have something to tell you." Kai suddenly said after a few minutes as Laofen raised her eyebrows.

"I am going to leave this realm in a week." He declared as Laofen was stunned.

"In a week?" She asked slowly as Kai nodded and the night fell silent.
