After meeting with Meixiu, Feng Yuxiang hugged Meixiu’s waist and flew towards the heavens as she did with Yu Rou, and they proceeded to make their way towards the Eastern Continent.
"T-This is..."
Meixiu was shocked when Feng Yuxiang suddenly brought her into the air, and when she looked down, her body began trembling nonstop uncontrobly.
"Hm? Are you scared of heights?" Feng Yuxiang asked Meixiu when she noticed her shaking.
"I... I..." Meixiu was speechless. Since she has never flown in a ne or went to any tall ces before, she was never aware of her acrophobia. In other words, she was scared of heights.
"Don’t worry, I won’t identally drop you or anything. You can close your eyes, too." Feng Yuxiang suggested this to her.
Meixiu immediately closed her eyes, but the image of the distant ground still lingered inside her mind.
"By the way, if you don’t mind me asking, what’s your rtionship with the Young Master? I know you’re friends, but I want to know more about you and the Young Master." Feng Yuxiang suddenly asked her.
"A friend, huh? Is that what Yuan said?" A slight smile appeared on Meixiu’s face.
"Hm? You’re not friends? Then what are you to him?"
"I’m more of his caretaker— a servant so to speak," Meixiu said.
"Oh? You’re his servant as well?" Feng Yuxiang said in a surprised tone. "I’m also the Young Master’s servant."
Meixiu opened her eyes again to look at Feng Yuxiang with wide eyes filled with surprise. How could someone like her be a servant? She looks like a powerful madam from an influential family more than anything.
"What’s with that look? You don’t believe me?" Feng Yuxiang raised her eyebrows at Meixiu’s doubtful gaze.
"Yuan... He called you a phoenix. Are you really a phoenix?" Meixiu suddenly asked.
"That’s right. I’m a phoenix, but I have my powers sealed right now so I cannot show you." Feng Yuxiang nodded.
"Is that so..."
The two of them became silent afterward, and it remained that way for a couple of minutes until Feng Yuxiang suddenly said, "We’ll take the teleportation device that’s at the city of Liyang, which is about four hours away."
"F-Four hours?" Meixiu was slightly surprised.
"How long do you think it’ll take us to reach the Eastern Continent and meet up with Yuan? Do you think we’ll make it before sunrise?"
While Meixiu didn’t mind losing sleep for a single night, she couldn’t neglect Yuan’s breakfast no matter what.
"By sunrise, huh? It’s definitely doable, but I don’t know if you’ll be able to handle the speed, since you’re a mortal..." Feng Yuxiang said to her.
"I will be fine," said Meixiu.
"If you say so..." Feng Yuxiang nodded, and she immediately raised her flying speed, nearly doubling it.
"!!!"
Meixiu could feel her chest tightening from the speed increase. Even though Feng Yuxiang shielded Meixiu from most of the wind pressure with her spiritual energy, it was still very powerful for a mortal who hasn’t even started cultivating yet.
Meanwhile, inside his own room, Yuan tried to activate his Divine Sense again.
’Monster cores don’t affect my real life cultivation when I consume them inside the game, but monster essences might be a different case... Hopefully, the Dragon Essence will finally enable me to use my Divine Sense in this world as well...’
With that in mind, Yuan took a deep breath and tried to activate his Divine Sense.
"..."
"..."
"..."

Yuan could feel his spiritual energy reacting to his attempt, but in the end, he was still unable to activate his Divine Sense.
’I still can’t activate my Divine Sense, however, there was a response at least! It shouldn’t be long before I can actually use my Divine Sense! Maybe if I raise a couple more levels...’
Even though Yuan couldn’t activate his Divine Sense yet, he was feeling more motivated and hopeful than ever.
Thus, Yuan began cultivating.
However, immediately after he began cultivating, Yuan noticed something different about his cultivation speed— it’d suddenly increased again.
While it isn’t as explosive as his cultivation improvements in Cultivation Online, it was still a pretty big differencepared to thest time he’d cultivated, and his cultivation quickly moved towards 5th level Spirit Warrior.
Two hours have passed since Feng Yuxiang and Meixiu met, and they’d just arrived at the city of Liyang, arriving two hours earlier than anticipated.
Feng Yuxiangnded directly in front of the city’s entrance, shocking the guards there.
"Seniors!"
Everybody there bowed to Feng Yuxiang when theynded, startling Meixiu who knew nothing about Cultivators and their culture. It was a new experience for her.
"How may we help you, Esteemed Seniors?" The guards in front of them said before bowing to them again.
"We’re here to use the teleportation device," said Feng Yuxiang.
"I understand. Please, follow us."
The guard proceeded to lead Feng Yuxiang and Meixiu into the city and towards the teleportation device.
On the way, Meixiu looked around the scenery and the people there with a somewhat intrigued gaze.
Since she rarely leaves the house and only goes out to go to school with Yu Rou, Meixiu doesn’t have much experience in the outside world.
"You’re somewhat different from what the Young Master described." Feng Yuxiang suddenly said to her.
"Me? What did he say about me?" Meixiu asked her with a curious look.
Feng Yuxiang smiled and said, "The Young Master said it’s hard for you to find entertainment in things, almost like you’re always bored."
"I see..."
To Feng Yuxiang’s surprise, a somewhat sweet smile appeared on Meixiu’s face.
Sometimeter, they arrived at the teleportation device.
"Where would you like to go, Esteemed Seniors?" The guard guiding them asked.
"The Eastern Continent." Feng Yuxiang immediately responded.
"The Eastern Continent... That’s a little bit far..." A perplexed expression appeared on the guard’s face.
Seeing the guard’s face, Feng Yuxiang continued, "Don’t worry, we’re not going to use the teleportation device for free. I’ll pay for it."
The guard’s expression immediately rxed after hearing Feng Yuxiang’s words, and he quickly nodded, "I understand! Please, follow me to the front!"
