Chapter 169 - Trophy Room (1/2)

”I haven't been to this place ever since Brother Tian stopped participating in competitions…” Yu Rou sighed while surrounded by hundreds of golden trophies.

”Then why did the Young Lady suddenly decide to return to this place?” Meixiu couldn't help but ask her out of curiosity.

Hearing her words, Yu Rou turned around with a beautiful smile on her face, and she said, ”Because he'll be participating in a competition soon!”

”Participating… in a competition? The Young Master?” Meixiu looked at her with a dazed look on her face, unsure of how to think or feel about this.

”Yes! Brother Tian will be participating in a music competition inside Cultivation Online! Although it's not a real competition, it's the closest thing we'll get!”

”The Young Master… participating in a competition…” Meixiu mumbled with a profound look on her face, seemingly in deep thoughts.

Sometime later, Yu Rou clapped her hands together and bowed to the trophies in the room before mumbling in a sincere voice, ”Good luck, brother… Let the cultivation world know of your musical talents...”

After spending a couple more minutes admiring Yuan's trophy room, Yu Rou locked the doors before returning to her own room.

”By the way, do you want to play Cultivation Online with me?” Yu Rou suddenly asked Meixiu.

”Me? Play games with the Young Lady? I wouldn't dare…” Meixiu quickly shook her head with a scared look on her face.

”Why not? You can consider it as work since you'll be 'serving' me inside the game instead of the real world. Furthermore, I know how hard you work for me, so I want you to relax and have fun sometimes.” Yu Rou said to her.

”But… my mother…” Meixiu sighed.

”If you're worried about your mother scolding you, I will personally talk with her later.”

”Thank you, Young Lady…” Meixiu nodded.

Although she doesn't show her emotions often or complain at all because of the way she was raised as a maid, Meixiu is also a young lady just like Yu Rou who has desires and aspirations, and while she doesn't show it, she's actually quite jealous of Yuan who can play games all day, not including his condition.

”Don't even mention it! I should be the one thanking you!” Yu Rou said as she entered the bed.

”Goodnight, Young Lady.” Meixiu closed the lights before leaving Yu Rou's room and returning to her own and immediately going to sleep, as she has to wake up earlier than Yu Rou and prepare breakfast for her.

The following morning, after his morning routine, Yuan returned to Cultivation Online and waited for Disciple Fei to arrive at his house so that they could practice with the zither.

Meanwhile, after she'd prepared for the day, Disciple Fei left her home with her zither in her hands. While she can store the zither in her storage pouch or spatial ring, she preferred carrying it around more, as it made her feel more authentic as a zither expert.

”Look! It's Fairy Fei! She must be going to the Dragon Pavilion today!”
