Cultivation Online Chapter 695: Hypothetically

Chapter 695: Hypothetically

After breakfast, w.a.n.g Ming asked Yuan, "What are you going to do now that you've ascended to the next world?"

"I'm not sure yet. There's so much that I could do that I don't know where to start." Yuan shook his head.

"Do you plan on ascending again?"

"Of course. I want to reach the highest realm there is in Cultivation Online."

"That will probably take a few years."

"Even then, I want to do it— I have to…"

Yuan then asked the others, "What about you guys? Are you still in the Lower Heavens? Do you plan on ascending?"

"I don't know about them, but I also intend on ascending soon." w.a.n.g Ming said, and he continued, "However, I need to prepare myself before I ascend. A lot of people ascended without any preparations, and many of these Players have died shortly after arriving because they were not prepared for that place. The monsters there are simply too powerful for them. The worst part is that they're now stuck there without any way of returning to the Lower Heavens." 

"That makes sense, since the Spirit Heaven's overall difficulty is higher than the Lower Heavens." Yuan said.

"Despite that fact, there are still a lot of Players ascending." s.h.i.+ Lang sighed.

"These Players are so greedy for resources that they are blinded by the reality that most of them won't even be able to leave the city without getting killed by monsters that are far above their level."

"Anyways, I will also ascend once I finish preparing myself. Ever since I joined the faction and started living here, I have been spending more time in Cultivation Online."

"I've also started playing more. After morning training and breakfast, I spend the rest of the day in Cultivation Online." w.a.n.g Bingbing nodded.

Everyone there shared the same sentiment.

Hearing their words, Yuan then said, "If any of you need cultivation techniques, I can help you out. There's this place called Myriad of Techniques, and because of my connection with them, I can acquire a number of free cultivation techniques every year. Just let me know whenever you arrive in Spirit Heaven. I don't think I will be ascending anytime soon."

"Really? That's great— No, that's amazing! If you can sell some of these techniques, you'll be rich in no time!" w.a.n.g Ming exclaimed.

"Sell them?" Yuan raised his eyebrows.

He recalled the person working at the Myriad of Techniques telling him that he could sell the techniques if he wishes, and since he's low on money, this could easily become a great money maker.

Furthermore, he managed to rank up his faction recently after slaying the Blood Sect.

"I will give the Myriad of Techniques a visit later." Yuan decided a moment later.

Everyone went back to their own rooms shortly after.

"Meixiu, what are you going to do now?" Yuan asked her as they walked to their rooms, as their rooms are located right next to each other.

"I am very close to reaching the third level of Spirit Warrior, so I am going to try and breakthrough by this week," she said.

"I see… Good luck. If you need anything, let me know." Yuan nodded.

"I will see you later." He said to her once they arrived at their rooms.

"Wait a moment, Yuan." Meixiu suddenly stopped him.

"Umm… It's been a while since I… you know… 'relieved' you… How are you feeling?" She asked him with a slightly bashful face.

"Now that you mention it, we haven't had any chance to be alone since Lulu showed up." Yuan realized this just now.

"Well… She's still asleep, right? We have some time right now if you want to do it…"

After a moment of silence, Meixiu eventually realized how eager she was— even a little desperate to help relieve Yuan, so she took a step back and said, "A-Actually, forget it…"

She quickly opened the door to her room and tried to run away, but Yuan suddenly grabbed her hand and stopped her from escaping.

"Let's do it. I don't have anything else to do now, anyway," he said in a calm voice.

Yuan entered the room with Meixiu a moment later.

After locking the door, Meixiu said, "I will wash your back first."

"Okay." He nodded.

Sometime later, Yuan sat on a small chair in the bathroom while Meixiu rinsed his body with warm water.

Once she began was.h.i.+ng his back, Meixiu spoke in a gentle voice, "Yuan, how do you feel about Lulu?"

"What do you mean?"

"She wants to start a family with you, you know?"

"Yes, I know. She seems very eager to do so."

"How do you feel about that? Will you start a family with her?"

Yuan smiled and said, "You know, even back at the orphanage, she loved to play 'pretend family' with me. She would be the mother, and I was the father. We mostly played alone, but there were times when other kids joined, and Lulu would always make them our children, regardless if they were younger or older than us."

"I never really thought about it back then since we were still too young, but I knew that she really wanted her own family in the future."

"Although we haven't seen each other for over a decade, she's still the same Lulu that I knew from the orphanage. If she really wants to start a family with me… I probably wouldn't mind it." Yuan said in a calm voice.

Meixiu subconsciously bit her lips, and she could feel a sharp pain in her heart after hearing his answer.

"I-I see…" She mumbled in a low voice and wouldn't say another word for the next minute.

After a long minute of awkward silence, Meixiu eventually opened her mouth again.

"Yuan… Hypothetically, if I also wanted to start a family with you, what would you do?"

Meixiu could feel her heart trying to burst out of her chest after muttering these words that required all of her courage.

"Eh…?"

Yuan was left speechless by her sudden question, and his mind immediately began scrambling for an answer.
