"We're going to practice our techniques at the Cultivators' Haven if they have one here. What are you going to do, Yuan? Want to come with us?" Wang Ming asked him sometime later. "Sorry but I have other plans. But if you ever need me, just let me know." Yuan shook his head. "Alright. Once again, thank you for these techniques." "Wait. Before you go, I have one last thing for you." Yuan retrieved another technique and handed it to Wang Ming. "This is a Heaven-rank technique called 'Demon Sealing Strike'. It can only be used with a sword, but it will allow you to seal demons if you hit them with this technique. After you learn it, hand it to Wang Bingbing and Li Jinxi so that they can also learn it." Yuan then looked at Hong Xiuquan and continued, "I don't have any other demon sealing technique at this moment that works for your type of weapon, but once I find something, I will let you learn it as well." "No problem." Hong Xiuquan nodded. "Guess I will have to put my own technique on hold for now until I finish learning this Demon Sealing Technique." Wang Ming said. Sometime later, Yuan and Meixiu returned to the hotel while the others went to study their new techniques. "Alas, the situation with the escaped immortals sound like a pain in the ass. I hope they catch them soon." Yuan sighed once they returned. "Escaped immortals?" Meixiu raised her eyebrows. "Well…" Yuan proceeded to explain the situation to her. "That does sound troublesome…" Meixiu sighed. "Fortunately, it is very unlikely that we will meet them since they're mostly in the upper heavens." Yuan said. Sometime later, Meixiu asked, "What are we going to do now, Yuan? More specifically what are your plans?" "I will figure something out tomorrow once Lulu returns." "Speaking of Chu Liuxiang… She mentioned something about returning home?" Meixiu said. "Yes, she went back home to speak with her parents. She should return by tonight." "Okay." "Since there isn't anything else to do, I'll log off for today." "Wait, Young Master." Feng Yuxiang suddenly appeared before him right as he prepared to log off. "Feng Feng?" "Young Master, I'd like to request for some of your blood," she said with a solemn expression on her face. "Oh? You finally cannot resist your urges? I thought you'd forgotten about it." Yuan smiled at her request. "It's not that, Young Master. After hearing about the escaped immortals, I figured that it would be for the best if I release my curse even if it's just a little. I don't want to be powerless when you need me." "Regardless of your reason, if you want my blood, you just need to ask me. I promised to help you remove that curse, after all." Yuan extended his hand to her and said, "Go ahead. Drink as much as you want." "Thank you, Young Master." Feng Yuxiang grabbed his hand before opening her mouth and putting his finger inside. She then bit a hole in his finger to release blood, but Yuan didn't feel any pain, and it felt more like a nibble. Yuan swallowed nervously after watching Feng Yuxiang suck on his finger. This wasn't Feng Yuxiang's first time sucking his blood, and he never had such a reaction before, so why is his body suddenly heating up now? He eventually realized that it was because of Feng Yuxiang's mouth, as the sensation from it reminded him of something else. In order to calm his mind, Yuan began reciting all the array symbols inside his head. About a minute later, Feng Yuxiang opened her mouth and released a satisfied sigh, sounding like someone who just finished chugging down an amazing drink. Her hair began changing colors, becoming fiery red. Her eyes also turned golden, and she stared at Yuan's finger with an allured expression, seemingly not satisfied despite drinking a mouthful of his blood already. She quickly shook her head and clapped her own cheeks to snap herself out of her temptation. "You can drink more if you want." Yuan noticed that she wasn't satisfied. "No, if I continue, I will surpass Spirit King and be forced to ascend." Feng Yuxiang said. "Spirit King…?" It was at this moment Yuan realized that Feng Yuxiang's aura had skyrocketed from peak Spirit Grandmaster to Spirit King! In fact, her aura is even stronger than Xiao Hua's at this moment! "Although I am still nowhere near strong enough to fight Immortals, we should be fine for a while." Feng Yuxiang said with a smile. "If you need more blood, just let me know." Yuan nodded. "I will. Thank you, Young Master. My shoulders feel a lot lighter now that my curse has been weakened even more." "I'm glad to hear that." Yuan and Meixiu logged off the game shortly after. Meixiu went to cook dinner immediately afterward, as it was already evening by the time they logged off. "She's not back yet…" Yuan mumbled in a low voice when he woke up in an empty room. He had gotten so used to waking up with Chu Liuxiang right beside him that it now feels awkward waking up alone. Sometime later, he went downstairs for dinner. "Hmm? Where is Miss Chu?" Wang Ming asked Yuan since they would always show up together. "She returned to her family temporarily to speak with her parents." Yuan said. "She should return later tonight." "I see." After dinner, Yuan returned to his room, but he didn't sleep and patiently waited all night for Chu Liuxiang to return. However, Chu Liuxiang never returned from her family. When the sun began rising, Yuan released a low sigh,? "I really wanted things to be different this time. Why can't parents just let their children decide on their own future? Why must they make things difficult for us?" Yuan stood up and left the house without letting anyone know, as he didn't want to worry them, and he began making his way to the upper levels in the Dragon Spiral Mountain with a slight frown on his face.
