Yuan and Chu Liuxiang logged off the game shortly after they finished absorbing the dragon scales.
"What the? The bed is wet?!" Chu Liuxiang sat up in a surprised manner after feeling a wet sensation on her back, wondering if they''d pissed themselves by ident.
However, she quickly realized that it wasn''t the bed that was wet— it was her pajamas, and her body was also soaked in sweat as well.
"Did absorbing the treasure in cultivation online make us sweat?" Yuan wondered out loud.
"It''s possible, since the sensation of pain we felt was so incredibly real that it''d affected our real body." Chu Liuxiang said.
"I''m going to wash up."
Chu Liuxiang said, and she continued, "You can join me whenever."
"I am going to change the bed sheets before I go." Yuan said.
Chu Liuxiang entered the bathroom a momentter while Yuan reced the bedsheets with new ones before joining Chu Liuxiang in the bathroom.
"Let me wash your back." Chu Liuxiang said to him.
"Thank you."
"No, I should be thanking you. If you didn''t help me with the Flood Dragon''s scale today, I would have not been able to absorb it, and I would''ve wasted a very precious treasure." She sighed.
"I''d dly do it again if it''s for you." Yuan smiled.
"..."
Chu Liuxiang suddenly turned silent.
"You know, if you say stuff like that, it makes me want to embrace you," she suddenly said.
Yuan began blushing when he heard words, which reminded his experience with Meixiu.
After a moment of silence, Chu Liuxiang said, "By the way, I have decided to visit my parents tomorrow. I want to tell them my feelings as soon as possible and get it out of my chest."
"Do you want me toe with you?" Yuan then asked.
"No, I will go alone. However, if I don''t return…"
"You think they''ll force you to stay?"
"I don''t need to think about it. There''s a very good chance that they won''t let me return after I tell them my feelings, but who knows, a miracle could happen."
"Don''t worry, if they don''t let you leave, I will take you back myself as long as you want me to."
"I want to return to your side." Chu Liuxiang said.
"That''s all I need to know." Yuan smiled.
After they finished washing, they went downstairs to see if Meixiu needed help with preparing dinner.
"Looks like you had a breakthrough. Congrattions." Yuan said to her when he noticed a chance in her aura.
"Thank you."
"We participated in an auction today. I wanted to invite you, but I didn''t want to disturb your cultivation."
"What did you buy?" She then asked.
"Nothing. The treasure being sold was too expensive for us. It sold for twenty million spirit stones, which is about 200 billion gold coins!"
Meixiu''s eyes widened with surprise.
"200 billion? That''s a lot of money… What was sold?"
"A treasure called Flood Dragon''s scale. It belongs to a powerful magical beast from the upper heavens." Yuan recalled the auction for Meixiu.
"By the way, Feng Feng also happened to have a Flood Dragon''s scale, and she gave it to Lulu, who has water spiritual veins, allowing her to improve her innate talent."
Sometimeter, Meixiu said, "Since I won''t breakthrough for a while, I can start ying with you again."
"That sounds good." Yuan nodded.
Once dinner was ready, everybody sat around the dinner table.
"Yuan, I am going to ascend to Spirit Heaven tomorrow. Where should I meet you?" Wang Ming asked him as they ate.
"Once you ascend the Stairway to Heaven, you will be transported to this square. You can just wait for me there and I wille pick you up. We can visit the Myriad of Techniques afterward to get you some new techniques." Yuan said.
"Okay."
"Anyone else also ascending tomorrow?" Yuan then asked the others.
Four other people raised their hands, and they were Wang Bingbing, Shi Lang, Hong Xiuquan, and Li Jinxi.
"What about the two of you?" Yuan asked Xi Murong and Wu Zao.
"I will go next week," said Xi Murong.
"Me too."
"Alright." Yuan nodded.
"Since we''re all going, we might as well ascend together." Wang Wang suggested a momentter, and they all agreed.
"Then we''ll all meet up after morning practice."
"I will meet you guys sometime at noon since we''re a couple of hours away from that ce." Yuan said.
"Take your time." Wang Ming nodded.
After cleaning up, everyone returned to their room.

The following morning, Yuan and Chu Liuxiang made their journey back to Min Li with everyone else.
"Aren''t you going to visit your parents today?" Yuan asked Chu Liuxiang before they left.
"I will do that after we meet up with Meixiu in the other city," she said.
Many hourster, they arrived at the hotel, and Min Li was casually sipping tea in the living room.
"Wee back. How was the auction?" Min Li said to them.
"It was crazy. We didn''t manage to buy the treasure, by the way." Yuan said with a smile.
"That''s unfortunate."
"Congrattions on the breakthrough, though."
"Thank you. It happened only an hour ago, so you returned at the perfect time. What are our ns now?" Min Li then asked.
"I am going to meet with a few friends back at the city before this one. We still have to pick up Meixiu there before we can go anywhere."
"When do we leave?"
"We''ll leave now if you''re ready."
"I am." Min Li nodded.
"Great. Then let''s go."
After checking out of the hotel, they left the city.
Half an hourter, they returned to their original location and met up with Meixiu, who was still living inside their old hotel.
"I am going to meet up with a few of my friends now. You guys can wait here since I won''t be gone for long." Yuan said to them.
"I am going to visit my parents now." Chu Liuxiang said.
"Okay. If you don''t return by tomorrow, I will be giving the Chu Family a visit." Yuan nodded.
Chu Liuxiang logged off the game and began making her way to the upper levels of the Dragon Spiral Mountain, where her Chu Family was located.
