Cultivation Online

Chapter 997 - Room Inspection

Once Meifeng left with Yuan to tour around the mansion, the rest of the people there turned to look at Meixiu.

”Meixiu, now that your mother is here… Are you going to be fine?” Wang Bingbing asked her.

She nodded, ”It will be fine. She may be my mother, but I am an adult now, and weʼre no longer at the Yu Family. Nothing will change even with her presence here.”

”Your mother seems like the serious type. Sheʼs like the complete opposite of you.” Wang Ming said.

”Sheʼs very serious and strict when it comes to her work, but she is always perfect. It might take a while, but you will eventually get used to her.”

”Is there anything we should be aware of about her? Like what might make her angry?”

Meixiu pondered for a moment before responding, ”If anything, she hates lazy people, I guess. But I donʼt think any of you should worry about it. Sheʼs working for Yuan now, so she will probably change just like I did.”

While Meifeng followed Yuan around the mansion, she asked him, ”What do you usually do nowadays, Young Master?”

”Uhh… Miss Meifeng, do you think you can stop calling me Young Master? Youʼre Meixiuʼs mother, so it feels a little weird to be addressed in such a manner by you, not to mention that I am no longer a little kid. Youʼre also no longer working for the Yu Family. You donʼt need to be so formal. Things are really relaxed around here.”

”Even if you say that, what am I supposed to call you? I have called you Young Master for over 10 years now, and old habits are hard to change. Furthermore, even if I am not at the Yu Family, I am still working for you.”

”Canʼt you just call me Yuan like everyone?”

”That feels wrong to me. I think I will continue to call you Young Master, after all.”

Yuan showed a bittersweet smile and said, ”Your demeanor reminds me of someone I know in Cultivation Online, but sheʼs much more easy going than you, even a little silly at times.”

”Anyways, to answer your question, I usually just train with the others in the morning before going into Cultivation Online.”

”Thatʼs it? Just training and playing video games? What about the instruments? Did you return to playing them?”

”Occasionally, I play the zither. But other than that, I donʼt touch other instruments. Actually, I guess I also played the piano a couple of times for Yu Rou.”

”Do you have no intentions of returning to the world of music? Your talents… It really would be a waste.”

Yuan pondered for a moment before responding, ”Now that the entire world knows Yu Tian and Yuan are the same person, I might do a concert once in a while to entertain my fans. However, I donʼt intend on profiting from it. I want people to be able to enjoy my music without needing to worry about not affording tickets.”

”Thatʼs just like you, Young Master…”

Sometime later, Yuan showed Meifeng his room.

”This is my room. That room right there is Meixiuʼs room.”

Meifeng entered his room the following moment and immediately started inspecting it.

”Young Master… This place is full of dust. Meixiu… What does she do nowadays? Why isnʼt she cleaning your room?” Meifeng had a frown on her face as she looked at the little amount of dust on her fingers.

Although Chu Liuxiang cleans their room, sheʼs not a professional maid like Meixiu or Meifeng, so it was only natural that the room isnʼt sparkless.

”Meixiu doesnʼt work as my maid anymore. I have her handle the faction and the food. Other than that, she trains with us and mainly focuses on her cultivation.”

”Young Master, you cannot live like this! With this much dust in the room, you could easily get sick! Starting today, I will be cleaning your room every day!” Meifeng declared.

Of course, the room wasnʼt as dirty as Meifeng made it sound, but even a speck of dust in the room is one too many for someone like her.

”Iʼm going to see Meixiuʼs room now.” Meifeng said after a quick inspection of Yuanʼs room.

Normally, one would need permission to enter Meixiuʼs room, but this was Meifeng, her mother. Even Yuan didnʼt dare to stop her from entering.

A moment later, Meifeng entered Meixiuʼs room and started her inspection.

”At least sheʼs keeping her own room clean.” Meifeng couldnʼt find anything to complain about after the inspection.

The bed was neatly made, and the furniture in the room was sparkling clean.

However, Meifeng wasnʼt satisfied just yet, so she dug a little deeper, going into her clothes and such.

A few minutes later, when Meifeng reached Meixiuʼs bed, she noticed something was off and reached her hand underneath the bed mattress.

Yuan raised his eyebrows, wondering what she was doing.

”Whatʼs this?” Meifeng felt something like a box and pulled it out.

When she saw what was written on the box, her eyes widened with shock, and her hands even began trembling.

ʼB-Birth control pills?! Why the hell is she hiding such a thing?!ʼ Meifeng cried inwardly.

She turned to look at Yuan in a stiff manner.

”Y-Young Master… Are you and Meixiu… by some chance… doing it?”

”About that…”

Yuan didnʼt expect for Meifeng to find out about his relationship with her daughter so soon, but now that the cat is out of the bag, he might as well tell the truth.

”Yes, weʼre partners. We were going to tell you later when the time was right, but I guess thereʼs no longer any need for that.” Yuan chuckled.

Meifeng turned to look at the box again.

ʼThat girl… She really did it…ʼ

A slight smile appeared on Meifengʼs face.

She returned the box back to its original place and said, ”Donʼt tell Meixiu about this. I want to hear it from her.”

”I understand.” He nodded.
