Chapter 53 - Starry Abyss (1/2)

”Did you hear? Player Yuan is currently at Pang City!”

”Where is that?”

”It's only 30 miles away from here. Want to go over there and take a look? There will be many other people who'll be going there to see for themselves whether Player Yuan is really a little girl or not.”

”Let's go!”

After news of Player Yuan spread throughout the internet, thousands of Players began making their way towards Pang City in hopes of seeing Player Yuan, who was rumored to be a cute little girl.

Of course, Yuan himself was completely unaware of the misunderstanding about him that had spread throughout the internet, and he was silently cultivating in the Lord's Manor.

A few hours have passed since the Mountain Lord's invasion, and Luo Li took a deep breath before knocking on the door to Yuan's room.

*Knock* *Knock*

”Brother Yuan, it's Luo Li,” she said to him from outside.

”You can come inside,” Yuan responded a moment later.

”Were you cultivating? I hope I didn't interrupt your cultivation…” Luo Li said after seeing the spiritual energy that was gathered around him.

”It's okay. I was about to take a break anyway.” Yuan said as he got off the bed, feeling a little bit stiff from sitting in the same position for many hours.

”Do you need something from me?” he asked her a moment later.

”Quite the opposite, actually. We have finished preparing the reward for your contribution during the Mountain Lord's invasion, and we would like you to receive it now,' she said.

”Okay.” Yuan nodded before following her outside with Xiao Hua by his side.

A few minutes later, they entered this massive long room with Lord Luo sitting on a large chair at the end of the room, and he was still wrapped in bandages.

Luo Ming and Luo Ling were also in the same room, as were all of the servants in the building and a few guards.

Once Luo Li brought Yuan to the front, Lord Luo spoke in a clear voice, ”Daoist Yuan, I have said this before, but I will say it again. Neither I— nor this city can thank you enough for what you have done for this place, and one can even say that you are the sole reason why this city and the thousands of citizens that live here are still alive right now.”

”Although this reward isn't much, it's the most precious item our Pang City can afford.”
