Chapter 29: Nectar of Heaven (1/2)

When Xie Feng logged out of Samsara Online it was past 9pm.

Although he spent all afternoon killing monsters and gaining experience non-stop, unfortunately he could not level up even once. This only shows how difficult it really is to go to the next level compared to the previous one.

Even so, his experience bar was approximately 85% full. So it will not take him too long to advance to level 7.

Xie Feng got out of bed and stretched his body slightly stiff from being in the same position for so many hours at a time.

According to the explanation given by Eva, creator of Samsara Online, when the player logs in to the game; his mind is transported to the virtual world. Therefore, the player's body cannot move during that period of time.

After all, if people make wrong moves because they are playing, they could hurt themselves unnecessarily.

After finishing stretching, Xie Feng left the room and heard the sound of beautiful laughter and voices from the kitchen. He couldn't help but smile a little as he walked down the stairs to the 1st floor.

Upon arriving at the kitchen, Xie Feng saw Xie Yao with Gu Qianxue preparing the dinner. He was surprised to see that Gu Qianxue was actually very skilled with kitchen utensils, even without her sense of sight, she did not look at all stiff.

”Beautiful ladies, you need help?”. said Xie Feng with a smile as he walked.

Xie Yao was about to say something but Gu Qianxue made a move that left her stunned.

Gu Qianxue left the knife in her hands and, wearing a beautiful purple apron over her clothes, walked over to Xie Feng and took his hand.

Then, with a beautiful innocent smile, she said: ”Xie Feng just now we were talking about you. Xie Yao said that tomorrow, after the university, the three of us would go together to buy clothes.”

Suddenly, Gu Qianxue seemed to remember something and said in a guilty tone: ”This all started because I forgot my luggage...I'm sorry.”

Xie Feng coughed slightly and looked to Xie Yao for help because of Gu Qianxue's sudden approach.

'This girl is too careless and trusting with people', he thought to himself and inwardly put on a bitter smile.

Xie Yao didn't know what to do about it either, so she just waved her hands quickly. Seeing this, Xie Feng didn't worry too much either. From his point of view, Gu Qianxue is a little girl in the body of an adult.

Suddenly, Xie Feng remembered something important. He used his free hand to hit his forehead while complaining: ”How careless I was. How could I have forgotten?”

Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue looked at him in confusion, so Xie Feng looked at Gu Qianxue and asked quickly: ”Qianxue, your father...errr...Uncle Gu, did he give you something for me?”

Listening to his question, Gu Qianxue tilted her head slightly to one side in a cute and thoughtful way for a moment. After several seconds, she seemed to remember something because after a scream, she ran to the sofa.

When Xie Yao and Xie Feng saw her suddenly run out into the living room, they were scared and went after her. However, the worries of both were unnecessary as Gu Qianxue could move perfectly as if her blindness was just an illusion.

From inside her designer bag, Gu Qianxue took out a blue USB device and quickly handed it to Xie Feng while saying: ”My father said I should give this to you and only you. Here, here it is.”

Xie Feng took the USB drive from Gu Qianxue's hands and looked at it thoughtfully as he threw it in the air and picked it up again.

Seeing Xie Feng's gaze lost in thought, Xie Yao spoke quietly: ”Big brother Xie Feng, is something wrong? what is it?”

Xie Yao's voice brought Xie Feng out of his inner world. After capturing the USB drive he had launched earlier, he smiled and gently tapped the device on Xie Yao's forehead as he said: ”It's nothing, just some work stuff. Don't worry. YaoYao, Qianxue, you two continue with what you were doing, I'll go take a shower before dinner is ready.”

Leaving those words behind, Xie Feng climbed the stairs and went to the second floor.

As Xie Feng walked up the stairs, Xie Yao looked at his back with misty eyes, full of affection and worry. Although she knows that Xie Feng made a deal with Gu Qianxue's father, Gu Pojun, in the past; she did not know the terms of the trade between the two.

However, since Xie Feng didn't want to say anything about it, she knows that no matter how much he insists he won't tell her. Therefore, she could only support him in silence from behind.

After climbing the stairs, Xie Feng walked down the hall and stopped in front of the last door. This door is the studio previously used by the father of Xie Yao and now used for Xie Feng.
