”Fine, I’ll tell you the truth, Young Master.” Feng Yuxiang sighed, and then she continued, ”Truth is, they were given to me for free.”

”What? That sounds even less likely!” Yuan said.

After all, who would give up such precious treasures for free?

”I’m telling you the truth, Young Master. I went to the Golden Phoenix Bazaar to acquire these treasures,” she said.

”Golden Phoenix Bazaar?” Yuan raised his eyebrows.

She nodded and said, ”I know everybody that owns a store there, and they’re all indebted to me, so I decided to go there to collect their debt since I will be leaving this place soon, and they gave me these treasures to clear their debt. I guess these treasures weren’t free technically, but let’s not ponder about the minor stuff.”

Feng Yuxiang told him the truth.

”Do you see any treasures that you want, Young Master?” she then asked him again.

”Hmm…” Yuan looked at the treasures and said, ”I will have to look through them one by one first.”

”Take your time,” she said.

”Anyways, thank you, Feng Feng. I owe you for this.” Yuan then said to her.

”I’m just doing my job,” she said with a smile.

”If you want, I can give you some of my blood later.”

However, to Yuan’s surprise, Feng Yuxiang shook her head and refused to take his blood.

”It’s okay, Young Master. You can save your blood.”

”Eh? Really? Are you okay? You would normally be excited to drink it…” Yuan said with a surprised look on his face, wondering if something had happened.

Feng Yuxiang showed a stiff smile and said, ”Everything is fine. There are just days where I have no appetite for anything.”

”I see… Well, if you ever feel like drinking it again, just let me know.”

”Okay. Thank you, Young Master.”

Ever since Xiao Hua told her that she might be forced to ascend to a higher realm if she breaks free from her curse and restores her cultivation base, Feng Yuxiang has become hesitant on drinking Yuan’s blood, especially when she could feel the curse weakening with every sip.

’I will continue to drink his blood once we reach Spirit Heaven where there’s a bigger limit. Until then, I will have to resist myself from drinking any of his blood…’ Feng Yuxiang sighed inwardly.

Yuan began looking through the pile of treasures a moment later, and he would spend the next hour doing so.

An hour later, Yuan sighed, ”Even though there are so many treasures here, none of them are really unique enough for my experiment…”

”What experiment?” Feng Yuxiang looked at him with wide eyes.

Was all of her efforts in vain?

”It’s hard to explain it…” Yuan said.

After all, how would he go about telling her that he’s testing to see if the treasures inside a game would affect his real body?

He then said, ”All of these treasures enhance one’s strength or permanently enhance one’s stats. There’s really nothing truly unique about them. Isn’t there something that can make my hair grow longer or something?”

”Making the Young Master’s hair grow longer?” Feng Yuxiang raised her eyebrows.

Then she retrieved something from her spatial ring and showed it to him, ”This is Longevity Seed. If you consume it, it’ll grant you 100 years of longevity and even give you new hair. It’s really popular amongst men who are balding.”

Yuan looked at the seed with raised eyebrows. He didn’t literally mean it when he said that he wanted something that could grow his hair, as it was just an example.

”I mean, it’s an Earth-grade treasure, so I guess I can try it.”

”Thanks, Feng Feng.” Yuan accepted the Longevity Seed and tossed it inside his mouth.

After chewing it a couple of times, he swallowed it.

Ding!

[You have consumed Longevity Seed]

[You have gained 100 years of longevity from consuming Longevity Seed!]

After consuming the seed, Yuan stood there and waited for his hair to grow.

However, to his surprise, his hair began falling off his head instead, instantly making him bald!

”What!” Yuan was shocked when he saw this.

”Feng Feng! You lied to me! This thing is doing the exact opposite of what you said!” Yuan looked at her with a frown on his face.

”Pft…” Feng Yuxiang almost burst out laughing when she saw Yuan’s bald appearance.

Meixiu was no different, and she tried her best to resist her urges.

”W-Wait a moment, Young Master. I didn’t lie to you,” Feng Yuxiang then said, ”Your hair will grow back in a bit. The treasure killed all of your old hair to remake new ones.”

And just like Feng Yuxiang claimed, silky black hair began emerging from Yuan’s bald head shortly after.

However, it grew more than he expected, and by the time it stopped growing, his new hair had reached his butt.

”There’s too much hair now…” Yuan sighed.

”Now I have to get a haircut,” he then said.

”Why? I think you look much better with long hair, Young Master.” Feng Yuxiang said to him.

”Here. You can use this to tie your hair.”

She then handed him a golden hairband.

”I guess this will do for now…” Yuan then tied his long and silky hair into a ponytail.

”Now you look more like a cultivator, Young Master.” Feng Yuxiang chuckled.

”Oh… And more handsome.”

”Handsome? Wouldn’t this make me look more feminine instead?” Yuan raised his eyebrows.

”What do you think, Meixiu?” He suddenly asked her.

”Eh?” Meixiu was taken by surprise, and when she saw his new appearance that had a certain charm and elegance to it, she began blushing.

”I-I think it’s fine,” she finally said after a moment of awkward silence.

”Okay, then we will be right back. Meixiu, I need you to check my hair for me.” Yuan said to her before logging off shortly after.

Sometime later, Meixiu went to his room.

”Well? Did my hair grow longer?” Yuan asked her.

”No… Nothing happened,” she said.

”I see… Then let’s go try some more treasures.”

The two of them returned to the game a moment later and began looking through the treasures again.
