After Wang Xiuying left, Meixiu began cooking dinner while Meifeng looked over some documents for their newly created company.
"Young Master, you’ll need a disguise for your new alias," Meifeng said to him, unaware that they already have something planned.
"Yes, I know. I will be wearing a mask when I play on the stage," he said.
"A mask, huh? That’s not a bad idea." Meifeng agreed.
Sometime later, after dinner, Yuan went to take a shower. Now that he can clean himself, he plans on doing so every single day.
Once it was time for sleep, Meifeng and Yuan retired to their room while Meixiu returned to her own room.
"Miss Meifeng, I have a question..." Yuan suddenly asked her as they laid in the same bed.
"What is it?"
"Do you know where I can obtain a sword?"
"A-A sword? Like a real sword? Why do you want one?"
"Self-defense, I guess..."
"Self-defense?" Meifeng looked at him with raised eyebrows.
What kind of self-defense requires a sword?
"You see, the world is getting more dangerous lately with more and more people becoming cultivators, obtaining inhuman strength that’s only possible in the cultivation world, but our world is very small compared to the world in Cultivation Online, and I was worried about what might happen in the future, so I want to prepare myself."
"Cultivators may be strong, but I don’t think we have to be that worried. It’s not as though the world will suddenly become a lawless place. But since the Young Masters want a sword, I will try to do something about it."
"Thank you."
Meifeng fell asleep shortly afterward.
However, Yuan didn’t go to sleep.
Instead, he silently got out of the bed and went to the living room, before taking a seat on the floor.
’This will be my first time cultivating in this position...’ Yuan thought to himself as he started to absorb the spiritual energy in the air.
’Desperation... I am not desperate enough to reach Spirit Master?’ He recalled what the handsome man told him in his dreams.
Yuan then remembered the scenes where the mother and her daughter were murdered in broad daylight. Then he recalled the betrayal of a friend. Then of the young man’s lover being forcefully taken away.
After remembering these situations, Yuan subconsciously started replacing these individuals with people he knew.
He imagined Meifeng and Yu Rou getting killed before his eyes. He imagined being betrayed by Doctor Wang and Wang Xiuying. He imagined the Cultivators’ Association successfully taking Meixiu away from him by force.
"You’re so weak... How can you protect anyone like that?"
The handsome man’s voice suddenly resounded in his head.
Yuan gritted his teeth, and somewhere within his consciousness, an invisible flame created by desperation appeared.
The spiritual energy in the area began flying towards Yuan at an incredibly fast rate.
"That’s right. If you want to protect those you care about, you must be strong."
The handsome man’s voice continued to resound inside Yuan’s head as he subconsciously cultivated, and before he was aware, he entered a trance-like state— he’d entered enlightenment. freewebnσvel.cѳm
