Chapter 656: Just Joking

“The other reason why I don’t want to ascend has connections to the first reason. Since I don’t have time to play, my progression will barely move, so even if I ascend, I will only be a hindrance to you all. Do you understand?”

“It’s like sending a low-level player to a place filled with high-level monsters. I won’t be able to do anything by myself if you leave my side even for a moment, brother. And I do not expect you to wait for me, as that would be a waste of time.” Yu Rou sighed.

“But I can help you progress faster with treasures! You won’t be a burden to me!” Yuan said.

“Don’t even bother trying to convince me, brother. I have already decided to stay down here. Furthermore, I won’t be alone since I will have Xia Jingyi by my side.”

After a moment of silence, Yuan sighed, “Alright. Fine. I won’t try to convince you anymore. However, just know that once I leave, it will be incredibly hard for us to meet in this world again since I cannot come down to the Lower Heavens whenever I please.”

“It’s not like we cannot see each other in the other world.” Yu Rou smiled.

“Anyways, I have to wake up early tomorrow for training, so I won’t be able to stay here for much longer. Let’s talk to each other until I have to leave, okay?”

Yuan nodded, “I want to hear more about your faction.”

“Of course! It’s a really great place. Everyone there is very nice to each other, and it feels like I’d suddenly gained a new family. Although training is hard at times, my cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds since I started training there.”

Yu Rou proceeded to recall her last couple of weeks as a member of the Eternal Lotuses.

She told Yuan her daily routines, her training schedules, and even some of Xia Jingyi’s experiences there.

“It sounds like a great place. I should visit there one day.” Yuan smiled.

“How about your faction, brother? You created one, right?”

“Yes, that’s right. It’s called the Demon Sealing Faction.”

“W-Wait… Demon Sealing Faction?” Yu Rou looked at him with wide eyes, as the name of his faction implies their purpose.

“Yes. There are still demons left in our world, and our purpose is to exterminate all of them.” Yuan explained to her.

“T-That’s too dangerous! I won’t let you endanger your life like this!” Yu Rou exclaimed.

“I know it’s dangerous, but I am the only person in the world who can fight these demons— at least for now. If I don’t fight them, they will wreak havoc around the world and kill many innocent people.”

“T-That’s…” Yu Rou was left speechless by his selfless words.

“And when I imagine one of these innocent people being you— or any of my friends… I don’t want another friend to die again, much less my own sister…”

Yu Rou closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths.

“I understand, brother. However, you must be careful.”

“Definitely.” Yuan nodded with a gentle smile.

After talking to each other for a few hours, Yu Rou hugged Yuan before logging off the game.

Yuan went to speak with Lord Luo and his family afterward, “I will be leaving this place tomorrow. Thank you for everything.”

“We should be the one thanking you, Daoist Yuan.” Lord Luo bowed to him.

“Yuan… Will we be able to see each other again in the future?” Luo Li asked him.

“I will try my best to make it happen.”

“It’s a promise.”

Yuan looked around and asked, “Where’s your brother? I haven’t seen him since I got here.”

“He’s at his sect right now, but I will let him know that you’d visited us.” Luo Ling said.

Yuan nodded and logged off shortly after to have dinner.

“Your sister is a special one. Nothing like I had anticipated.” Chu Liuxiang said to Yuan after dinner.

“Really? Were you able to get along with her?”

“I was. We had a lot of interesting conversations on our way to you. Hell, we can even be considered friends at this point!”

“That’s good to hear.” Yuan smiled.

“If we’re going to start a family together, it’s essential for me to have a good relationship with your family, after all.” Chu Liuxiang chuckled.

Wang Ming and the others looked at Chu Liuxiang with wide eyes.

Although they were already aware of Chu Liuxiang’s feelings for Yuan, they didn’t expect her to be so open about it.

After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms.

“What a lucky bastard… But it’s not shocking for a genius like him to have so many beauties by his side…” Wang Ming sighed out loud as he walked back to his room.

“If you’re jealous, why don’t you find your own girlfriends? It’s not like you have no hope.” Wang Bingbing said to him.

“Nah. Too much work. And I don’t have the time to pamper them.” Wang Ming shrugged.

“What about you, sister? Why don’t you become Yuan’s woman as well?”

“Now why on earth would I do that?” Wang Bingbing frowned.

“For starters, it’ll benefit our family greatly. He’s also very talented and a good fellow in general. If I were in your shoes, I would already be trying to acquire a slot beside him before all of the slots are taken.”

“What? You don’t like him or something?” Wang Ming then asked.

“…”

Wang Bingbing sighed after a moment of silence, “That’s not the issue. He already has two women— Meixiu and Chu Liuxiang by his side, one for each arm. They are also extremely pretty and talented if you haven’t noticed already. I won’t stand a chance against them.”

Wang Ming stared at his elder sister with a look of disbelief on his face.

“Y-You actually thought about becoming his woman? I was just joking with you! Hahaha!” He burst out laughing, causing Wang Bingbing’s face to flush with redness.

“G-Grab your sword and meet me outside! I’m going to kill you!” Wang Bingbing pointed at him with her hand trembling.

Wang Ming casually shrugged, “Are you kidding me? We just ate, so I am a little sleepy. If you want to fight, we can do it tomorrow.”

After saying that, he went into his room and locked it, leaving Wang Bingbing speechless.
