Chapter 653: Picking Up Chu Liuxiang
“Hahahaha! I-I’m sorry for laughing, but I really cannot help it after listening to your story! How stupid can the Yu Family be?!” Wang Ming laughed out loud.
“Abandoning their own son because he became a cripple? It’s so ridiculous it’s funny!”
“The fact that they abandoned the one and only Player Yuan without even being aware of it!”
“Ahem!” Li Jinxi suddenly cleared her throat, causing Wang Ming to stop laughing.
She then turned to look at Yuan with a serious face, “Yuan, do you want to get revenge on the Yu Family? Our families can destroy them with ease, after all.”
“Revenge? It’s fine.”
“Why? Don’t you feel angry? Any normal person would detest their family if they were abandoned.”
“I never said I wasn’t angry at them. In fact, my anger grows every time I am reminded of them,” he spoke in a calm voice.
“Then why don’t you want revenge?”
“I want revenge, but I want to do it my own way— by myself.”
“I understand. That’s even better.” Li Jinxi nodded with a smile.
After breakfast, Yuan returned to his own room with Chu Liuxiang.
“I thought you didn’t want revenge against your family for abandoning you, Brother Yuan.” Chu Liuxiang said with a cheeky smile on her face.
“Well… Things change…” Yuan smiled back.
“Anyways, have you met Feng Feng yet?” He asked a moment later.
“No, not yet, but I should meet her soon, and my anticipation is very high.”
“High? Why?”
“Who knows.” Chu Liuxiang shrugged before lying on the bed and putting on the console.
As for Yuan, he went to play the zither for some time before going to the field to spar with the others since he had nothing else to do in Cultivation Online until Feng Yuxiang brings Meixiu and the others to the city.
Meanwhile, Chu Liuxiang was casually standing underneath a tree outside this small city somewhere in the Northern Continent, silently staring at the sky.
“Hello, beautiful young lady. I cannot help but notice you standing there in a daze from the corner of my eyes, as you were just so dazzling—”
“You can leave me alone.” Chu Liuxiang turned to look at the handsome young man standing in front of her.
“Don’t be like that. There seems to be a lot in your mind. If you want, I’d be happy to hear you—”
“I am thinking about the love of my life, so I would like it for you to leave me alone,” she interrupted again.
“T-That… I…”
The young man became speechless after hearing her words.
However, Chu Liuxiang was simply too beautiful for him to give her up so easily. It was a once-in-a-lifetime chance for him.
Unfortunately, before he could open his mouth again, he noticed another figure at the corner of his eyes, and this figure had descended from the sky, causing him to turn his focus.
“Are you the Young Master’s friend?” Feng Yuxiang asked her.
“Young Master?” Chu Liuxiang raised her eyebrows.
“That’s her, Feng Feng,” Meixiu said in a calm voice.
The young man was stunned by the sudden appearance of Feng Yuxiang and Meixiu. He has never seen so many top beauties at once before.
“Well then, what are we waiting for?”
And before the Young Man or Chu Liuxiang could even react, Feng Yuxiang lifted Chu Liuxiang into the air before flying away.
“Y-You’re certainly in a rush, Feng Feng…” Meixiu said to her as they soared in the sky.
“I promised the Young Master that I’d return to his side in two days, and I didn’t add into account that I’d have to pick up Yu Rou as well! Even if she wasn’t part of the plan, I intend on keeping my promise!”
“Are you okay, Chu Liuxiang?” Meixiu turned to look at her, who had a bewildered expression on her face.
“W-We’re flying?!” She exclaimed in a shocked voice.
“First time?” Feng Yuxiang smiled.
“Obviously! You could’ve at least warned me before lifting me into the air! My heart skipped a beat back there!” Chu Liuxiang cried out loud.
Once Chu Liuxiang calmed down and was more comfortable being in the sky, Feng Yuxiang introduced herself, “My name is Feng Yuxiang, but my friends call me Feng Feng. I am the Young Master’s most loyal servant. Nice to meet you.”
“I am called Chu Liuxiang.”
“That’s all? Tell me more about your relationship with the Young Master! How did you meet each other?” Feng Yuxiang then asked.
“I am his childhood friend. We met in an orphanage.” Chu Liuxiang said.
“W-Wait…”
Feng Yuxiang suddenly stopped moving and looked at Chu Liuxiang with wide eyes.
“T-The Young Master… He’s an orphan?”
Although she had many theories on Yuan’s mysterious background, being an orphan was definitely not one of them.
“He never told you?” Chu Liuxiang nodded her head.
Feng Yuxiang quickly shook hers.
“I understand why the Young Master never speaks of his family now… It’s because he never really had one…” Feng Yuxiang sighed upon this realization.
Sometime later, they continued their journey to pick up Yu Rou.
“Why are you staring at me?” Chu Liuxiang asked Meixiu when she noticed her gaze.
“You… Your cultivation… I’m speechless…” Meixiu responded in a dazed voice.
“Hm? What about it?” Chu Liuxiang tilted her head in a questioning manner.
“Well… It’s a lot lower than I’d anticipated…”
“What did you expect? I already mentioned that I didn’t spend much time in this world.”
“I know… but… Second Level Spirit Apprentice… Wow…”
Chu Liuxiang, who was a Spirit Master in the real world, turned out to be only at the second level of Spirit Apprentice in Cultivation Online, something most people can achieve within a few hours of creating their character!
“I mean… I never really intended on playing this game seriously, and I am already cultivating in the real world, so there’s no reason why I need to waste my time increasing my cultivation in this world.” Chu Liuxiang shrugged casually.
“That makes sense… I guess…”
