"I think I understand what I should do. Thank you, Xiao Hua. You’re always helping me. If only there’s something I can do for you." Yuan said.
"Xiao Hua is satisfied with just being around Brother Yuan." Xiao Hua quickly responded.
Sometime later, Yuan said, "I’ll see you later, Xiao Hua."
"Goodbye, Brother Yuan."
Yuan logged off the game shortly later.
Once Yuan logged off, he could immediately feel two presence around him.
"Sorry for making you wait, Yu Rou," Yuan said to her.
"Don’t worry about it. I just got here." Yu Rou responded.
"By the way, I spoke with Feng Feng, Yu Rou. I told her about your situation, and she’s currently heading to Phoenix City to pick you up. She also told you to wait for her at the Golden Phoenix Bazaar."
"Wait. Today?" Yu Rou asked.
"Yes."
"Okay. Fortunately, I brought my console with me, so I can enter the game even though I am here." Yu Rou said.
Yuan then continued, "As for Meixiu, after helping Yu Rou meet with Xia Jingyi, she will come to the Western Continent to help you next, but you need to let her know your location so that she knows where to go."
"I understand, Yu— Young Master," Meixiu said.
Sometime later, Yu Rou went into the 3rd bedroom to set up her console whilst Meixiu went into her own room, both of them entering Cultivation Online once they were prepared.
While Yu Rou went to meet Feng Yuxiang and Meixiu wandered around to find her location, Yuan remained in the real world to cultivate. Currently, his priority was to raise his cultivation as fast as possible so that his body could recover faster, and he still had a few days until the Inner Court disciple examination.
Meanwhile, after entering the game, Yu Rou began making her way towards the Golden Phoenix Bazaar.
Many minutes later, Yu Rou arrived at the Golden Phoenix Bazaar, and she proceeded to stand outside the street to wait for Feng Yuxiang.
When the guards saw this, they tilted their heads. Normally, one can’t loiter around the Golden Phoenix Bazaar even if they are outside the street. However, since Yu Rou was quite the eye candy, they didn’t want to drive her away and allowed her to stay there so they could look at her beauty.

"Looks like she’s waiting for somebody. Do you think it’s her boyfriend?" One of the two guards there asked.
"If it is, then that man is a damn fool," said the other guard, and he continued, "If she was my girl, I wouldn’t make her wait so long. In fact, I’d even be here before sunrise."
"Do you want to go speak with her? Maybe you’ll get lucky."
"I don’t know man. You think I should?"
"I wouldn’t be saying it if I didn’t! Go get her!"
The guard nodded, and just as he prepared to approach Yu Rou, a burst of flames appeared in the sky before descending directly outside the Golden Phoenix Bazaar, shocking the guards and everybody there.
"T-That’s Madam Feng! Madam Feng is back!"
The guards were greatly shocked by her appearance, as Feng Yuxiang’s whereabouts had been unknown for a while now!
Many people could be seen running out of their stores in the Golden Phoenix Bazaar when they noticed Fang Yuxiang’s aura, and they quickly approached Yu Rou and Feng Yuxiang.
"Where have you been, Madam Feng?! The city’s Lord has been worried sick ever since you disappeared!"
"Madam Feng! Are you finally back at the Golden Phoenix Bazaar?!"
"I’ve missed you and your shop, Madam Feng! Please come back to us! The Golden Phoenix Bazaar is not the same without your presence! It feels empty!"
Feng Yuxiang looked at the people swarming them with a nonchalant expression on her face, and she spoke a moment later, "I am busy with other things, so no, I won’t be returning."
"What?! What are you busy with, Madam Feng? Perhaps we can help you!"
"Yeah! We’ll do everything in our power to help you accomplish your needs!"
Hearing their words, Feng Yuxiang coldly snorted and said, "None of you can help me. Just forget about it. I won’t return to the Golden Bazaar Phoenix no matter what you say."
She then turned to look at Yu Rou and asked her, "Are you ready to leave?"
"Yes."
Feng Yuxiang then wrapped her arm around Yu Rou’s waist before soaring towards the heavens.
"Madam Feng~~~~! Please come back to us~~~!"
Despite the desperate shouting from below, Feng Yuxiang ignored it and asked Yu Rou, "Red Pearl City, right? If we head to the Teleportation Device three cities away, we arrive at the destination in less than a day."
"Thank you, Senior Feng." Yu Rou said to her.
"You can call me by my nickname just like the Young Master." Feng Yuxiang said to her as she began flying away from Phoenix City.
While Feng Yuxiang and Yu Rou made their way towards Red Pearl City, Meixiu wandered around the area until she could see city walls in the distance.
Ding!
[You have discovered Tang City]
"Tang City, huh..."
However, since Meixiu was not really interested in Cultivation Online, she logged off after learning the name of her location.
"Yuan, are you awake?" Meixiu asked him after entering his room.
"Yes, what’s the matter?" Yuan stopped cultivating and responded.
"I am in a place called Tang City."
"I see. I’ll let Feng Feng know once she’s finished helping Yu Rou."
"I understand."
"In the meantime, can you check my bank account to see how much money is left in there? The information is..."
After giving Meixiu his personal bank account information, Meixiu used her phone to look at his bank balance.
A few moments later, she spoke in a low voice, "Yuan... there’s no money in this bank account. The balance is literally zero."
"W-What?!" Yuan exclaimed in a shocked voice.
Where did his money go? He doesn’t recall spending any of it, either!
