Chapter 454 - Black Pajamas

Chapter 454 - Black Pajamas

A couple of minutes had passed since Yuan consumed the Celestial Water, and the heat in his body had finally subsided.

"Young Master, are you okay?" Feng Yuxiang asked him afterward.

"Yes... I am fine." Yuan said as he stood up, feeling a little lightheaded.

"Do you feel any different?" Xiao Hua asked him.

Yuan patted himself and shook his head, "No, I don’t..."

In fact, he didn’t even get any notification.

Normally, whenever he consumes a treasure, it would be followed by a notification and how it’s affected his body. However, there was nothing this time. No notifications— nothing.

This was incredibly odd. Does this mean the Celestial Water didn’t affect him at all? But how is that possible? Clearly, his body reacted to it.

"Nothing at all? How weird. The Celestial Water is a priceless treasure even in the Supreme Heaven." Feng Yuxiang said.

"Maybe it takes time to take effect?" Xiao Hua theorized.

"That makes sense. Maybe it’ll take effect later once your body fully absorbs it. There are many treasures like that out there." Feng Yuxiang agreed.

"Okay. Guess I’ll just have to wait and see." Yuan nodded.

Sometime later, Feng Yuxiang and Xiao Hua returned to his body before Yuan logged off the game to cultivate.

Now that Xiao Hua has returned safely, Yuan was able to cultivate with a peaceful mind.

However, he quickly noticed a change in the way that he cultivated— that it’d suddenly become easier to cultivate.

Normally, he’d need to clear his mind and recite the cultivation technique inside his mind to absorb spiritual energy.

Now, he could absorb the spiritual energy around him as though it was natural, almost like breathing.

Unfortunately for him, even if he could cultivate easier, it wouldn’t matter since he cannot obtain any more spiritual energy until he breakthrough to Spirit Master.

’I think there is a term for this... What was it? A bottleneck?’ Yuan sighed inwardly.

Sometime later, Yuan thought to himself, ’Since I cannot advance my cultivation anymore, I should practice something else... like my Divine Sense...’

Ever since he started focusing on his cultivation base, Yuan had neglected training his Divine Sense.

In fact, it has been a while since he tried to activate his Divine Sense.

’The last time I tried, it felt like I was on the verge of succeeding. Now that I am at the peak of Spirit Warrior, I might be able to do it...’

After taking a deep breath, Yuan began trying to activate his Divine Sense again.

Meanwhile, in the room beside Yuan’s room, Meixiu suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling for some reason.

’It’s probably just my imagination...’ Meixiu thought to herself.

However, unbeknownst to Meixiu, somebody was actually staring at her.

"I-It worked!" Yuan exclaimed in an excited voice when his Divine Sense activated properly, allowing him to see inside his room and half of Meixiu’s room.

How long has it been since he was able to see? Almost a decade ago.

Once Yuan was certain that his Divine Sense was working, tears flowed down his face, quickly soaking the pillow.

"Are you okay, Yuan?" Meixiu asked him from outside when she heard his shouting.

"Yes, I am okay."

Yuan said as his Divine Sense focused onto Meixiu’s beautiful face.

Although he was already used to seeing her face, there was just something different about seeing her in the real world. Compared to her avatar in Cultivation Online, Meixiu looked almost identical with the only thing being different was their aura.

And just as Meixiu prepared to return to her own room to cultivate, Yuan’s voice resounded.

"Meixiu, you look great in those black pajamas."

"Eh?"

Meixiu’s movement froze the moment she heard this, and she turned to look at his room with a look of disbelief on her face.

"W-What did you just say?" she asked him in a dazed voice.

Yuan chuckled and said, "You should see your face right now. It’s quite funny."

A shiver went down Meixiu’s spine. Why does it sound like Yuan can see her right now?

"What’s going on Yuan?" Meixiu decided to enter his room and ask him.

The first thing she noticed when she entered his room was the smile on his face, and then the tears flowing down his closed eyes.

"W-Why are you crying?" she asked him.

"Because I can see," he responded.

"What?" Meixiu’s eyes widened.

"I can see again, Meixiu. I can use Divine Sense to see." Yuan revealed to her.

"W-Wait a moment... You can use Divine Sense? Right now?"

"Yes. I am looking at you right now through Divine Sense. You’re wearing a pair of black pajamas, right?"

Meixiu had to look down at her own clothes to make sure he was correct, and sure enough, she was wearing black pajamas.

"Unbelievable..." Meixiu muttered in a dazed voice.

"However, it’s a little exhausting to use it continuously."

Once she’d calmed down enough, Meixiu said with a warm smile on her face, "Congratulations, Yuan. This is one massive step towards your recovery."

"Yes, I think so, too. However, there’s one more thing I want to tell you..." Yuan suddenly said.

"What is it?"

"Come closer," he said.

Meixiu nodded and approached him, feeling a little nervous for some reason.

Once she was by the bed, Yuan said, "Give me your hand for a moment."

"My hand?" Meixiu raised her eyebrow.

"Yes. Place it on my c.h.e.s.t," he said.

Meixiu didn’t know what he was trying to do, but she kneeled on the floor and placed her fair hand on his c.h.e.s.t nevertheless.

Feeling Meixiu’s hand on his c.h.e.s.t, Yuan took a deep breath and proceeded to move his right hand that had been resting on his side.

Meixiu’s eyes widened with shock as she witnessed Yuan’s right hand lift into the air without any support, and then she watched as it approached her hand.

Before she realized it, Yuan’s right hand was directly on top of her own hand.

"Not only can I see, but I can move as well..." Yuan’s voice resounded a second later, snapping Meixiu out of her daze.
