Chapter 288 Meeting Meixiu

"Feng Feng... Your hair..." Yuan pointed at her scarlet hair with his finger that was still wet with Feng Yuxiang’s saliva.

"Eh? What about my hair?" Feng Yuxiang looked at her hair.

"What! It turned red!" Feng Yuxiang exclaimed in a surprised voice after realizing this, almost like it was completely unexpected.

"Is that supposed to happen?" Yuan asked her a moment later.

"Yes! This means your blood is really working and suppressing the curse on me!" Feng Yuxiang nodded her head.

"What about your powers, phoenix?" Xiao Hua asked her.

"Unfortunately, it’s still completely sealed. However, I have no doubt that if I continue sucking the Young Master’s blood, my curse will sooner or later disappear entirely! I have lived over 10,000 years like this! A few more years— even a few decades won’t affect me!" Feng Yuxiang spoke with enthusiasm in her tone.

Once Feng Yuxiang stopped sucking Yuan’s blood for a minute, the small opening on his finger closed by itself within seconds.

As for Feng Yuxiang, her golden eyes and scarlet hair also returned to normal shortly after.

"Oh, right. Meixiu will be joining us today," Yuan said to them.

"Meixiu? Really?" Feng Yuxiang seemed happy to see Meixiu again.

"Yes, she should be here any minute—"

Yuan suddenly stopped speaking when he noticed a familiar presence appear in his backyard out of the blue.

Even though he doesn’t have his Divine Sense activated, after becoming a Spirit Master, he gained the ability to naturally detect others’ presence as long as they were close enough and he wasn’t too distracted.

"I think that’s her," Yuan said in an excited voice before he stood up and walked towards the backyard.

Once he reached the door that led to the backyard, Yuan took a deep breath and opened the door.

Meanwhile, Meixiu, who had just entered the game, turned around when she heard some noises coming from behind her.

"You are..."

Meixiu’s eyes widened with shock when she saw the handsome young man standing at the opened door a few meters away from her.

Although his appearance slightly differed from his body in the real world, Meixiu could instantly tell that she was looking at Yuan at glance.

Even though it has been at least a decade since she last saw him in such a perfect and healthy appearance, Meixiu would never forget Yuan’s lively face and unique charisma, especially his clear eyes that radiated with innocence.

Meanwhile, in Yuan’s eyes, other than her maid uniform and height, Meixiu looked almost no different from how he remembered her. Long silky black hair, a neatly cut and even bang, crystal clear black eyes, and her unique characteristic— a naturally bored-looking face.

Of course, she was much taller than the child from back then, not to mention her beautiful face that would not lose to even the top beauties in the Dragon Essence Temple such as Xuan Wuhan or Fei Yuyan, perhaps even beating them in certain criteria.

"Yu...Yuan?" Meixiu mumbled his name in a dazed voice.

"It’s been a while, Meixiu. You’re even taller than Yu Rou now." Yuan slowly approached her with a handsome smile on his face.

"..."

Almost as though she didn’t know what to do or how to react, Meixiu remained standing there like a frozen statue until Yuan was practically standing in front of her.

"I have always wanted to do this..."

Yuan suddenly opened his arms wide and embraced Meixiu before speaking in a gentle voice, "Thank you, Meixiu... for taking care of Yu Rou and me for all these years..."

"Yuan..."

Two streams of glistening tears suddenly appeared on Meixiu’s beautiful face, quickly staining Yuan’s shoulders.

Meixiu slowly lifted her arms a moment later before returning Yuan’s hug, yet she didn’t say anything, only embracing Yuan in silence.

"They seem very close with each other." Feng Yuxiang mumbled in a mosquito-like voice as she peeked her head from inside the house and watched them hug each other.

"..."

Xiao Hua also did the same without moving her mouth, watching their reunion in silence.

Sometime later, Yuan removed his arms from her and stepped back.

"Meixiu, let me introduce you to my friends first," Yuan said to her before turning around to look at the opened door.

"Xiao Hua, Feng Feng, come here," he said to them.

A few moments later, the two of them left the house and stood beside Yuan.

"You already know her but this is Feng Yuxiang, also known as Feng Feng, and she’s a phoenix." Yuan pointed to Feng Feng and said.

He then pointed to Xiao Hua and said, "This is Xiao Hua, my first friend in this world, and she’s like another little sister to me."

Xiao Hua nodded her head at Meixiu after the introduction.

"Now let me introduce you to Meixiu." Yuan said, and he continued, "Xiao Hua, Feng Feng, this is Meixiu, who is like a family member to me since we’ve always been near each other since childhood. And just like Yu Rou, she has helped me tremendously throughout the years. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration even if I said that I wouldn’t be alive now if it were not for the two of them and their support for me."

"Alongside Yu Rou, she’s one of the most important people in my life."

"I’ve said this before, but any friends of the Young Master are also a friend of mine! If you ever need help, don’t hesitate to come to me for help!" Feng Yuxiang said to Meixiu.

"Xiao Hua too."

"It’s nice to meet all of you." Meixiu nodded.

And then she focused her gaze on Yuan.

’Especially you, Yuan...’ A rare smile appeared on Meixiu’s face as she stared at his handsome face.

Sometime later, they returned to the house and took a seat on the couches in the living room.

"Let me brew some tea for us." Feng Yuxiang said to them before going to the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Yuan began telling Meixiu about his experience in cultivation, starting from the beginning when he first met with Xiao Hua to how he got this point.
