Cultivation Online novel Chapter 699

Chapter 699 - Until The End Of The Month

"Mmm…" Chu Liuxiang woke up from her long slumber when it was almost evening.

After stretching her body on the bed, she sat up and looked around the dark room with a dazed face.

She quickly noticed Yuan, who was still cultivating in the balcony.

After staring at Yuan's figure for a couple of moments, she got off the bed and went inside the bathroom to wash her face.

As she walked out of the bathroom, she noticed her cell phone ringing.

"Father? I wonder what he wants…"

Chu Liuxiang answered the call after realizing who the caller was.

"Hello? Father? Did something happen?"

"My dear daughter… When do you plan on letting us know that you have returned to the mountain?" Chu Shijian's sighing voice resounded through the phone.

"Oh, I completely forgot. Sorry, father. I planned on calling you once I settled in this place, but I had spent the past week inside Cultivation Online." Chu Liuxiang said.

"Cultivation Online? You never showed interest in that game before. In fact, you even refused to play it after trying it out for a few days." Her father said in a surprised voice.

"Well, I didn't have Yuan by my side before, and I had no reason to play. Things are different now that we're playing together. The game seems so much more intriguing when I follow him compared to playing with the family."

"Yuan… I heard about his most recent achievement. He'd opened a floodgate to the next realm for all players."

"And I was there to witness everything from the beginning to end! If you were there to witness his trials and what he had to endure, you would admire him even more!" Chu Liuxiang said in a somewhat proud voice.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Chu Shijian asked her, "When do you plan on coming back to the family? You're already back in the Dragon Spiral Mountain, so you might as well come back to us now."

Chu Liuxiang quickly responded, "On the contrary, father, now that I have returned to the mountain, I can stay with Yuan as long as I want since I am, technically, already home."

"You… Aiya… Forget it. I will give you until the end of the month with him."

"W-Wait—!"

However, Chu Shijian hung up the phone before she could even respond.

Chu Liuxiang stared at her phone in a dazed manner.

"Until the end of the month…" she mumbled to herself.

She looked at the calendar a moment later only to realize that she has less than three weeks left before the Chu Family starts making things difficult for her and Yuan if she doesn't return.

"Were you talking to someone just now?" Yuan's voice suddenly resounded as he returned to the room after he ended his cultivation.

"I was just speaking to my father on the phone…" She sighed.

"I see… Did something happen to your father? You seem down…"

"That's because he wants me to return to the family, and he has given me until the end of the month to return…" She said with a bittersweet smile.

"Oh… But your family also lives on the mountain, right? I don't think it's going to be that bad, since we're basically neighbors."
