Cultivation Online novel Chapter 278

Chapter 278 - Visiting Yu Rou

After feeding Yuan, Meixiu went to do her own things until she went to sleep.

Meanwhile, Yuan stayed up all night to cultivate like usual.

’I don’t even remember when was the last time I got two nights of sleep in a row...’ Yuan thought to himself, but oddly enough, he didn’t feel any different despite lacking sleep. In fact, he felt more refreshed and energetic than ever.

The following morning, after feeding Yuan breakfast, Meixiu returned to the main house to meet with Yu Rou.

"Hey, Meixiu. Even though we saw each other at school yesterday, it feels longer than that." Yu Rou said to her.

However, Meixiu didn’t immediately respond, and she looked around the room with raised eyebrows.

After a moment of silence, she spoke, "Young Lady, when was the last time you cleaned your room? It’s a mess in here."

"You’re exaggerating, Meixiu." Yu Rou casually said.

Meixiu turned to look at the clothes laying on the floor as well as the dirty desk in the distance.

Normally, Meixiu would be the one who cleans Yu Rou’s room daily, but since she no longer lives here and spends most of her time with Yuan, that has become impossible.

"Young Lady... did you even find someone to replace me?" Meixiu suspected that nobody was taking care of Yu Rou in her place because no servant would dare to allow such an unkempt appearance in her room.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Yu Rou spoke, "I didn’t find a replacement for you."

"What? Why?" Meixiu asked her in a genuinely surprised voice.

"Think about it, Meixiu. If I replaced you, my parents would know that you’re currently taking care of Brother Tian, and there’s a good chance that they’ll tell you not to help him. Therefore, I cannot replace you no matter what." Yu Rou gave Meixiu an explanation on why she didn’t find another servant.

"Oh..." Upon realizing the situation, Meixiu nodded her head.

"However, that doesn’t excuse your messy room, Young Lady. I am going to clean up now." Meixiu said, and she immediately went to tidy up the room.

Seeing this, Yu Rou said with a smile on her face, "I didn’t want to take any more of your job away from you, so I purposefully refused to clean my room so you can do it."

"..." Meixiu was speechless. Does Yu Rou intend on leaving her room dirty for an entire week just so she could clean it for her? That’s unbefitting of her image.
