Cultivation Online

Chapter 267 - A New Experience

After meeting with Meixiu, Feng Yuxiang hugged Meixiuʼs waist and flew towards the heavens as she did with Yu Rou, and they proceeded to make their way towards the Eastern Continent.

”T-This is…”

Meixiu was shocked when Feng Yuxiang suddenly brought her into the air, and when she looked down, her body began trembling nonstop uncontrollably.

”Hm? Are you scared of heights?” Feng Yuxiang asked Meixiu when she noticed her shaking.

”I… I…” Meixiu was speechless. Since she has never flown in a plane or went to any tall places before, she was never aware of her acrophobia. In other words, she was scared of heights.

”Donʼt worry, I wonʼt accidentally drop you or anything. You can close your eyes, too.” Feng Yuxiang suggested this to her.

Meixiu immediately closed her eyes, but the image of the distant ground still lingered inside her mind.

”By the way, if you donʼt mind me asking, whatʼs your relationship with the Young Master? I know youʼre friends, but I want to know more about you and the Young Master.” Feng Yuxiang suddenly asked her.

”A friend, huh? Is that what Yuan said?” A slight smile appeared on Meixiuʼs face.

”Hm? Youʼre not friends? Then what are you to him?”

”Iʼm more of his caretaker— a servant so to speak,” Meixiu said.

”Oh? Youʼre his servant as well?” Feng Yuxiang said in a surprised tone. ”Iʼm also the Young Masterʼs servant.”

Meixiu opened her eyes again to look at Feng Yuxiang with wide eyes filled with surprise. How could someone like her be a servant? She looks like a powerful madam from an influential family more than anything.

”Whatʼs with that look? You donʼt believe me?” Feng Yuxiang raised her eyebrows at Meixiuʼs doubtful gaze.

”Yuan… He called you a phoenix. Are you really a phoenix?” Meixiu suddenly asked.

”Thatʼs right. Iʼm a phoenix, but I have my powers sealed right now so I cannot show you.” Feng Yuxiang nodded.

”Is that so…”

The two of them became silent afterward, and it remained that way for a couple of minutes until Feng Yuxiang suddenly said, ”Weʼll take the teleportation device thatʼs at the city of Liyang, which is about four hours away.”

”F-Four hours?” Meixiu was slightly surprised.

”How long do you think itʼll take us to reach the Eastern Continent and meet up with Yuan? Do you think weʼll make it before sunrise?”

While Meixiu didnʼt mind losing sleep for a single night, she couldnʼt neglect Yuanʼs breakfast no matter what.

”By sunrise, huh? Itʼs definitely doable, but I donʼt know if youʼll be able to handle the speed, since youʼre a mortal...” Feng Yuxiang said to her.

”I will be fine,” said Meixiu.

”If you say so…” Feng Yuxiang nodded, and she immediately raised her flying speed, nearly doubling it.

”!!!”

Meixiu could feel her chest tightening from the speed increase. Even though Feng Yuxiang shielded Meixiu from most of the wind pressure with her spiritual energy, it was still very powerful for a mortal who hasnʼt even started cultivating yet.

Meanwhile, inside his own room, Yuan tried to activate his Divine Sense again.

ʼMonster cores donʼt affect my real life cultivation when I consume them inside the game, but monster essences might be a different case… Hopefully, the Dragon Essence will finally enable me to use my Divine Sense in this world as well…ʼ

With that in mind, Yuan took a deep breath and tried to activate his Divine Sense.

”...”

”...”

”...”

Yuan could feel his spiritual energy reacting to his attempt, but in the end, he was still unable to activate his Divine Sense.

ʼI still canʼt activate my Divine Sense, however, there was a response at least! It shouldnʼt be long before I can actually use my Divine Sense! Maybe if I raise a couple more levels...ʼ

Even though Yuan couldnʼt activate his Divine Sense yet, he was feeling more motivated and hopeful than ever.

Thus, Yuan began cultivating.

However, immediately after he began cultivating, Yuan noticed something different about his cultivation speed— itʼd suddenly increased again.

While it isnʼt as explosive as his cultivation improvements in Cultivation Online, it was still a pretty big difference compared to the last time heʼd cultivated, and his cultivation quickly moved towards 5th level Spirit Warrior.

Two hours have passed since Feng Yuxiang and Meixiu met, and theyʼd just arrived at the city of Liyang, arriving two hours earlier than anticipated.

Feng Yuxiang landed directly in front of the cityʼs entrance, shocking the guards there.

”Seniors!”

Everybody there bowed to Feng Yuxiang when they landed, startling Meixiu who knew nothing about Cultivators and their culture. It was a new experience for her.

”How may we help you, Esteemed Seniors?” The guards in front of them said before bowing to them again.

”Weʼre here to use the teleportation device,” said Feng Yuxiang.

”I understand. Please, follow us.”

The guard proceeded to lead Feng Yuxiang and Meixiu into the city and towards the teleportation device.

On the way, Meixiu looked around the scenery and the people there with a somewhat intrigued gaze.

Since she rarely leaves the house and only goes out to go to school with Yu Rou, Meixiu doesnʼt have much experience in the outside world.

”Youʼre somewhat different from what the Young Master described.” Feng Yuxiang suddenly said to her.

”Me? What did he say about me?” Meixiu asked her with a curious look.

Feng Yuxiang smiled and said, ”The Young Master said itʼs hard for you to find entertainment in things, almost like youʼre always bored.”

”I see…”

To Feng Yuxiangʼs surprise, a somewhat sweet smile appeared on Meixiuʼs face.

Sometime later, they arrived at the teleportation device.

”Where would you like to go, Esteemed Seniors?” The guard guiding them asked.

”The Eastern Continent.” Feng Yuxiang immediately responded.

”The Eastern Continent… Thatʼs a little bit far…” A perplexed expression appeared on the guardʼs face.

Seeing the guardʼs face, Feng Yuxiang continued, ”Donʼt worry, weʼre not going to use the teleportation device for free. Iʼll pay for it.”

The guardʼs expression immediately relaxed after hearing Feng Yuxiangʼs words, and he quickly nodded, ”I understand! Please, follow me to the front!”
