Chapter 599 - Returning Home (1/2)

”Brother Yuan, you can be pretty cruel at times, you know?” Chu Liuxiang suddenly said to him after they lifted into the air in their private plane.

”Eh? Why would you say that?” Yuan asked in a dumbfounded voice.

”You already forgot about hitting me with a sword and knocking me unconscious?” Chu Liuxiang puffed her cheeks in an angry yet cute manner.

”O-Oh… That… I'm sorry, but if I didn't do that, you could've gotten hurt for real.” Yuan apologized.

”I understand why you did it, and I am thankful that you did, but I cannot help but be upset about it. Therefore, as punishment, you'll have to hug me while we sleep tonight!” Chu Liuxiang then said.

Yuan didn't say anything and merely nodded with a slight smile on his face.

And for the rest of the flight, Yuan would remain relatively silent, seemingly in deep thoughts the whole time.

Neither Meixiu nor Chu Liuxiang tried to speak with him when they saw his mood, as they can tell that he was still in pain from what happened at the Jaded Garden, and sometimes, it was the better choice to let them ponder in peace than to try and comfort them.

After the whole incident in the Jaded Garden, Yuan's view of this world has flipped upside-down, and coupled with the new revelation that Cultivation Online exists somewhere in this universe, Yuan wasn't sure how he should do next.

The next day, when they had only two hours left before landing, Yuan gathered Meixiu and Chu Liuxiang for a conversation.

”Do either of you know how to actually create a faction or how to maintain it?” Yuan asked them.

”I have looked into it after you said that you wanted to create one, so I know the basics,” Meixiu said.

”I don't think you have to worry about maintaining the faction if you do not plan on mass recruiting people. Even if there's a dozen of us in the end, we really don't have to do much, at least when compared to factions that have to deal with hundreds if not thousands of people.” Chu Liuxiang said.

”Makes sense.” Yuan nodded.

”Then can I trouble you two to help me create and maintain the faction? I will be very busy in Cultivation Online soon,” he continued.

”Cultivation Online? Shouldn't you be preparing to fight the other demons when they eventually break out of their seal?” Chu Liuxiang looked at him with wide eyes.

How can one possibly think about playing a game when they still have the calamity to worry about?

Yuan remained silent for a moment before speaking, ”This is going to sound crazy, but I believe that the world of Cultivation Online actually exists somewhere in this universe.”

As he'd expected, both Meixiu and Chu Liuxiang looked at him with dumbfounded looks on their faces.
